60s Splendid Life

When they woke up, it was almost dark outside.

It’s late in winter, but they didn’t wake up too late. It was three or four o’clock in the afternoon. Because there was no sun, the sky outside was gloomy, and it looked like the usual seven or eight o’clock. like.

After the children woke up, Lu Jin told them that he was going back to the old house for dinner.It's just that the three little guys didn't seem very happy after hearing his words. Their family, Chenchen, pouted and asked him, "Brother, can we not go back? I don't like going there." It seems quite I don't want to go back there.

Although the other two older sisters and younger brothers didn't speak, their expressions looked similar.

"...Let's just go back and come back after a while?" Lu Jin could see that some children were reluctant to go back. In fact, he didn't want to go back either, but since he agreed to go back, he was neither good nor bad. go.

Seeing the three little guys facing him with three little faces, none of them spoke.

It's also hard to be the big brother Lu Jin. Knowing that the old house and the people there didn't leave a good impression on the three children in their family, it's no wonder that the three children don't want to go back there.Seeing that the children didn't want to go back, and he didn't want to force them, he thought for a while and said, "Then if you don't want to go, then don't go. Brother will go by himself. You wait at home for brother to come back."

"No, I want to go with my brother!"

But when he heard that he would not take them there, the three little guys rushed over and hugged him one by one, saying that they would go with him, as if they were afraid that he would not be able to come back after he went. Lu Jin was a little dumbfounded about this , I had no choice but to respond: "Okay, okay, let's go together. Let's go when we are full at home." To save time, we will go there without food and be hungry.

There were still leftovers from the meals they cooked in the morning, which had been heating up in the stove.

Before going out, they brought over the hot food in the pot, and after they were full, they went out together and went to the old house.

It's been almost a year since the four of them stood here, and once again brought a few brothers and sisters to stand at the door of the old house, Lu Jin's heart was very complicated.It's just that when standing here, the two little guys next to it are obviously reluctant to go in.

Little Bao'er hugged her elder brother's neck tightly, her small face was tense, her mouth was pursed, and there was no expression on her small face, she still faintly resisted going into the courtyard inside.

The four brothers and sisters stood at the door of the old house and did not go in.

It was their uncle who came out of the kitchen and saw the four of them standing outside, so she called them in, "Oh, Xiao Jin, you are here, I am waiting for you to come and prepare to eat, I thought you forgot the time , I was thinking about whether to ask Matsuhiro to call you guys."

"Hmph, some people come to have a meal and ask others to invite them three times and four times. I really thought I was a grandpa and lady." Chen Aihong came out of the kitchen with the dishes, and it was only now that he saw Lu Jin brothers and sisters. Come on, rolled his eyes in front of them, and said with a bitter face: "I don't know if I came back earlier to help with work, so I just wait for others to cook and come back to eat. It's embarrassing." Thinking of their hard work After working for half a day, others counted the time to eat ready-made food, and Chen Aihong felt angry.

"Second Aunt, what did you say? Xiaojin and the others finally came back. Do you need to speak so harshly?" Wang Meili frowned at what Second Aunt said. At home, not all of them come to help with work.

"Why, did I say something wrong?" Chen Aihong's critical eyes swept back and forth on the Lu Jin brothers and sisters, and said with a snort: "Who doesn't know how to bring something when visiting relatives these days?" Now, you guys are good, when you come back to eat, you just come back empty-handed, and you don’t know how to bring your own rice.” All of a sudden, there were four more mouths to eat, and all they ate were rice from their family, Chen Aihong said No wonder people who care about are happy.

"You!" Wang Meili was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"What nonsense are you talking outside!" Lu Jianguo heard the voice outside, walked out, and looked at Chen Aihong who had just spoken.

Chen Aihong's daring to fight with her sister-in-law does not mean that she is arrogant in front of the men at home. When she sees her uncle coming out, she is like a mouse seeing a cat. She lowered her head and went into the house with vegetables.

Lu Jianguo glanced angrily at the woman who passed by, and walked out of the room. When he turned his head to look at Lu Jin's brothers and sisters, the expression on his face softened a little, and he said to Lu Jin: "Take the younger brothers and sisters with you." Go to the house to eat, your grandma is waiting for you to come back."

"It seems that we came at the wrong time today. Uncle, please tell Grandpa, we won't go in." Lu Jin really didn't expect to be given such a big blow as soon as he entered the door. How dare they come back today What are they asking for?

Since others don't welcome them, he doesn't intend to take his younger brothers and sisters in to be bullied by others. After saying this, he plans to take his younger brothers and sisters home.

"Hey, don't be farewell, everyone is here, how can you leave without eating?" Wang Meili hurriedly grabbed the hands of Lu Jin and Lu Qinglian under her husband's eyes, Seeing that Chen Aihong had entered the room, she lowered her voice and said, "Your second aunt, you don't like what you say. If you don't like it, just pretend you don't listen to it. It's Chinese New Year, and it's hard to come back. Already, the family is waiting for you guys to have a reunion dinner, hurry in and go in."

"Father, take Xiao Jin and the others inside quickly, and find a place for them to sit down and eat." Wang Meili grabbed Lu Jin's hand and handed him over to her husband.

"Let's go, uncle will take you to the house for dinner." Lu Jianguo took his nephew's hand and led them into the house.

"Uncle, don't pull me, I can walk by myself." Lu Jin couldn't break free, and was holding a child in his arms. He was afraid that he would throw the child off by struggling hard, so he was pulled in by his uncle. in the house.

Seeing her brother being dragged away by her uncle, Lu Qinglian and Lu Haochen looked at each other, and they both decided to follow her brother, they were going to protect him!

***

It was cold during the Chinese New Year, so the Lu family moved the dining table to the living room of the main room. It happened that the living room here could accommodate two tables, and the whole family sat inside. dinner.

Lu Laogen sat at the head of the main table, Mrs. Lu sat on his right, and the vacant seat on the left should be for the eldest son. Lu Jianqun, Lu Jiankang, Lu Jianhong, and several grandchildren of the Lu family sat. Over there at the main table.

A small table at the bottom is for women and children, and several young children are also sitting at the bottom, and the whole room is noisy.

When the brothers and sisters appeared in this room, the voices in the room fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were on them.

As if he didn't notice the changes in the room, Lu Jianqun pulled Lu Jin up to the main table and said to his father and mother, "Abba, Aunt, Xiaojin and the others are back."

"Come back when you come back, let's find a place to sit down and eat later." Probably because of the joy of the Chinese New Year, Lu Laogen saw a few grandchildren coming back, his face was not as stern as usual, and he waved his hand to let the eldest son Take someone to find a place to sit.

Lu Jianguo said yes, took a few nephews and nieces to find a place to sit, and arranged them at the small table. There happened to be a few empty seats connected to each other, so he let people sit here.

After seeing the people leaving, the old lady Lu snorted unhappily, met the old man's gaze, and made no secret of her dislike for the grandchildren, "Look at them just now, seeing us I don’t know how to call people, those who don’t know think that we are their enemies, and I owe them something in my previous life!”

"If you are celebrating Chinese New Year, please don't say a few words." Lu Lao was originally in a happy mood, but the joy on his face disappeared instantly when he heard this.

"Father, Auntie is right. You see, they didn't call out when they saw us aunts and uncles just now. They didn't regard us as relatives. If you want me to tell you, you don't have to call them back, so as not to see us." It’s still embarrassing.” Lu Jianhong said while helping her mother.

Lu Jianqun came out to help smooth things over, and the scene at the main table was over.

Lu Jin, who was sitting on the side of the small table at the bottom, didn't know that there was a crusade and discussion on them at the main table because they didn't call out just now, but because it didn't affect them, he didn't know about it. matter.

It didn't take long for them to sit down and all the dishes were served. The seven or eight large bowls of dishes looked like vegetarian dishes to the naked eye. There was no meat, but there was a bowl of tofu and a bowl of fish. I don't know how the fish was cooked. The fish bones and fish bones are mixed together, which looks black.

"Today's Chinese New Year, our family will sit together and have a reunion dinner. Let's serve the meal." When all the people arrived, Lu Laogen, the head of the family, called for the meal to be served, and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the first dish.

Other people at the main table picked up their chopsticks one after another to pick up the dishes.

Seeing the people at the main table move their chopsticks, Chen Aihong and her children picked up the chopsticks and started grabbing the dishes, and put all the good dishes into their own bowls. In the blink of an eye, several dishes containing fish meat Most of them were robbed.

"I caught this first!"

"It's me first!"

Soon the dishes were grabbed at the small table.

Before Lu Jindu picked up his chopsticks, he saw that the dishes on the table seemed to have been swept away by a typhoon, so he didn't even think about using the chopsticks. Besides, these bowls and chopsticks were greasy, and he didn't know whether to wash them or not. Wash it off, it makes him sick to look at.

Lu Haochen and Lu Qinglian, who came here after eating at home, were not hungry, so they watched others scrambling for food, and they didn't move their chopsticks.
