60s Splendid Life
Chapter 156 Doubt
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin was stunned for a moment, and then explained with a smile: "Abba and Aunt are busy with work in the factory and can't ask for leave. Let me tell them that Xiaobao and Chenchen haven't seen each other before." Grandpa, it just so happens that the holidays are coming, we came to deliver moon cakes to you, Dad and Mom agreed, and let me come over to say hello to Grandpa instead of them.” Before coming, he decided to hide it from the old man’s family At the same time, I also told a few children not to talk about it.At this time, instead of letting the old man know about this matter and causing a huge blow to the old man, it is better for them to hide it from the old man first, and wait until they can't hide it in the future.
"Oh." Yu Wenchang's expression didn't change when he heard this.
Lu Jin was afraid that the old man would continue talking on this topic, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "We brought you a lot of food, grandpa. Please take a look at what we brought you." After sitting on the long bench, he asked Wang Chenglin to go outside to carry the things in, opened the back basket he brought, and took out the things from the inside, "This is a moon cake, with lotus seed paste, red bean paste, ham and egg yolk and five kernels. moon cake."
"And these are cured duck, bacon, tea and orange pears... and sorghum wine. This wine has a high alcohol content. Grandpa, when you drink with Uncle Sun, don't be greedy and don't get drunk." For this day When they came to visit their grandpa, Lu Jin prepared a lot of things in advance, "The tea is home-grown tea made by our people. It's a bit bitter at first, but after a few more sips, you'll find it's sweeter. It's good to drink in summer. Yes. There is also a pack of black tea here, and the black tea will be brewed for drinking in winter."
"Hey, you kid, why did you bring so many things to grandpa? How much did it cost?" Lu Wenchang watched his grandson take out such a large amount of things for him. He knew the life of his daughter and son-in-law's family. It's not very rich, not to mention how many children the couple have to raise, and there are old people in the family who are good at it, so life is not easy.
He has been closed here for so many years, and now he doesn't know what's going on in the outside world, but he also knows that so many things must cost a lot of money to buy.
"It didn't cost much. We made the mooncakes, cured duck, bacon and wine by ourselves. The oranges and pears were given by others. I will bring some for you, Grandpa." Lu Jin was right. The stuff inside didn't cost anything, and he made most of it himself.
Chickens and ducks in the countryside are cheap, and a duck can be bought for only a few yuan.The tea was exchanged with someone outside, and the two quilts were bought with money for cotton and cloth, and I asked my aunt in the village to help me make them.
"The weather is getting cold, I will send you two quilts and two clothes for grandpa. I don't know if grandpa will fit you. You can wear them first. I will send you two thicker clothes when I come back later." .” Lu Jin packed the two big packages that Wang Chenglin brought in, which contained two quilts and two sets of clothes.
"You child..." Yu Wenchang looked at the things his grandson brought him, and his eyes were a little hot. When he was young, he was the eldest son of the family. Later, because of the war, the life of the family became worse year after year, but he also It's not enough to be hungry, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing.But who would have thought that such a disaster would happen to the family later, his wife died, his son joined the army, his daughter got married, he was locked up in this place and couldn't get out, and all his grandchildren were so old, except for the eldest grandson It is the first time for the other little grandchildren to see him as a grandfather when they grow up to this age.
Looking at the things brought to him by several children and grandchildren, Yu Wenchang thought of all the past and the present day, and felt an indescribable grief in his heart.
"Grandpa, I, I brought you something too." Lu Haochen took out the candy and moon cakes he was reluctant to eat from his schoolbag and gave them to grandpa. There were also two oranges in it, which he didn't want to eat.
Lu Qinglian brought two notebooks and two pens to her grandfather, which were given to her by the teacher for her No. 1 exam this semester, and she gave them to her grandfather.
Knowing that his granddaughter did well in school, the old man also praised his granddaughter a few words, told her to study hard, and accepted the gift from her granddaughter.
Little Baoer... Little Baoer drew a picture, which was drawn by my brother two days ago with them, and I also gave it to my grandfather.
"This is a family portrait we drew together, and it's for you, grandpa." Lu Jin lowered his head and asked Xiao Bao'er, "Little Bao'er, tell grandpa, who is in this painting?"
"Brother, sister." Little Bao'er looked up at his brother, sister, and parents, "Grandpa."
"And grandma!" Lu Haochen told his grandpa that his younger brother had been forgotten.
"Okay, the painting is very good." Lu Wenchang took the paintings drawn by his grandsons and granddaughters with trembling hands, and looked at the eight people in the paintings, including adults and children. So it flowed down.Seeing a few children looking at him, he wiped away the tears on his face, choked up and said: "Grandpa likes it very much, thank you."
Sun Xiu, who was standing inside just now, couldn't hold back her tears, so she hid outside and cried.
Wang Chenglin stood at the door, and this man secretly touched his tears a few times.
Lu Jin and the others were talking to grandpa in the house, and the old man asked them about their family affairs, and he said it was very good.A few children told their grandpa what they ate at home every day, what knowledge they had learned from the teacher when they went to school, the voices of children talking and old people asking questions came from the room.
Lu Qinglian and Lu Haochen were a little unfamiliar with this grandpa they met for the first time, but their elder brother had told them a lot about grandpa in the past two days, so they knew that this was their grandpa, their mother's father, and theirs. Relatives, after meeting, they did not reject this grandfather, and even had a faint liking and closeness to him.
"Grandpa, let's eat with Uncle Sun first. This salt-baked chicken is edible. You and Uncle Sun can tear it up and eat it together. These cured meats can be left to eat slowly. Put them on the rice and steam them for a while before they are cooked. And Don't eat too much of these mooncakes by yourself, you can share some with everyone." Lu Jin saw that the old man and Sun Xiu didn't have dinner because of their arrival, so he talked to the old man in the room for a while, and he asked for it He left, "We'll stay here tonight, and we'll come see you, Grandpa, tomorrow morning."
"You guys say goodbye to grandpa."
"Goodbye, Grandpa."
"Grandpa, let's see you again tomorrow."
"Grandpa, Uncle Sun, I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning."
Yu Wenchang got up to send the children out, and watched them go out. He stood at the door without moving. At this moment, he covered his heart, buried his head in his arms, and cried bitterly.
Hearing the sound of people leaving, Sun Xiucai, who was outside, came back with red eyes. When he came back, he saw Yu Wenchang standing at the door crying, so he helped him back and sat down inside.
The two have been roommates for so many years, and they know each other well. Sun Xiu knew that Yu Wenchang was a bit stubborn, and he was not a crybaby. This was the first time he saw someone cry. In this way, he hurriedly helped him back to the bed in the room and sat down.
Seeing Yu Wenchang crying with his head down, after waiting for a while, seeing someone wipe his face and stop crying, Sun Xiucai asked: "Aren't the children happy to see you? Why are you crying like this? "
Yu Wenchang shook his head, not because of this incident, but because he suspected that something might have happened to his son-in-law, that's why he hasn't visited him for more than two years. This further confirmed his doubts and guesses.After a while, when he calmed down, he told Sun Xiu about his doubts.
When Sun Xiu heard Yu Wenchang's words, his expression was a little dignified, but he still comforted him and said, "Maybe it's not what you think, don't scare yourself, I just saw that the clothes of a few children are not bad, they are well-dressed. They are all new clothes, and they are all well maintained. It doesn’t look like there are no adults around to take care of them. You see, they brought you so many things. They must have been prepared by the adults in the family. Don’t think too much , if there is anything, you can ask the children when they come tomorrow."
"Let's eat. The food is cold. I'll take it out and heat it outside." They built a small stove with stones at the door, and a small broken pot. Sun Xiu put some water in it and put their food in it. Put it in and heat it up, take it in and eat it for two people.
Yu Wenchang tore apart the salt-baked chicken brought by his grandson, and went to pour some wine. The two of them ate together, with the chicken, and drank some wine. There was wine and meat. Best meal ever.
It's just that the alcohol content is a bit high, the two of them didn't notice it for a while, and they drank two more glasses. After drinking, both of them were a little bit drunk, and they closed the door of the room without even taking a bath, and fell asleep on the bed. .

At this time, Lu Jin had brought several children and Wang Chenglin to live in the guest house on the side of the labor camp. He said that the guest house was actually a few unoccupied earthen houses, which were used as a guest house for the family members who came to visit the prisoners. The place has a musty smell because it has been unoccupied for too long, and there are cobwebs and dust in the house. They can only clean it themselves and move in.
"Brother Cheng Lin, have you cleaned up there, do you want us to help?"
"No, I'll just wipe it off myself."
They brought a little girl here, Wang Chenglin is an adult man, it is not easy to live in the same room with them, they asked for two adjacent rooms, so that if there is anything on their side, just call Wang Chenglin can hear.
Lu Jin didn't dare to let the little girl live in the same room by herself when he was away, so he let his sister live in the same room with them.
"Brother Cheng Lin, come here and have something to eat." In fact, Lu Jin just said that they ate something on the road, and it was already several hours ago, so everyone is a little hungry at the moment.Fortunately, he still kept some food, so he didn't have to worry about their having nothing to eat for dinner, and they could buy food here with money, but he told people not to, and they ate the food they brought.
"Hey, come here." Wang Chenglin over there responded, and after a while, people came to their side.
The five of them ate together. The children didn't seem to have a good appetite because they left home and came out to a strange place. It may also be because the food they ate was not so good, so they didn't eat much.
Lu Jin didn't force them either. Seeing that each of the children ate a piece of pancake, they also ate pork and fruit, and their stomachs should be almost full.They ate the rest, and Wang Chenglin took a sip of the wine.
After eating, they went out to gather the mules, tied them to the posts at the gate, fetched water for the mules to drink, took a bag of beans from their cart, and poured out some beans for the mules to eat.
The sun set in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun faded away little by little until finally it completely disappeared and it became dark.
"Oh." Yu Wenchang's expression didn't change when he heard this.
Lu Jin was afraid that the old man would continue talking on this topic, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "We brought you a lot of food, grandpa. Please take a look at what we brought you."
