60s Splendid Life

Chapter 167 New Year's Day 1

On the morning of the first day of the new year, they ate dumplings and steamed a basket of meat buns. Lu Jin also made a large pot of milk for the children. The children in the family liked it very much.The sauced bones are stewed in the pot in the kitchen, but they can't be cooked so quickly, so you can save them for lunch.

After breakfast, Lu Jin took out the New Year's money prepared in advance and distributed it to the children, "This is my sister's, this is Chenchen's, and this is little Bao'er's. My brother hopes that you will be happy in the new year." , good health, progress in studies, and fulfillment of wishes.”

"Thank you, brother." Lu Qinglian didn't expect that they still had the New Year's money, and took the New Year's money from her brother, smiling until her eyes rolled up.

As soon as Lu Haochen got the lucky money, he asked, "Brother, can I take it apart and have a look?"

Holding the lucky money, little Bao'er looked at the two little brothers and sisters with dark eyes, and then at the big brother.

"Okay, you can open it, the lucky money for you is the same." Lu Jin specially wrapped the new year's money in red paper, which means auspicious, and there is not much money inside, one yuan per person.But maybe one dollar should be considered a huge sum of money compared to today's children.

Sure enough, as soon as the children in their family opened the red paper and saw the money inside, the two brothers and sisters all stared wide-eyed, as if they had received a huge sum of money.

"Wow, that's a lot of money!" Lu Haochen took a look at his New Year's money, and there were two [-] cents in it, his eyes widened, and he took it out to show off to his brothers and sisters: "I have a dollar!" This is the first time that Da has so much money!

"I have one piece too, and Xiaobao's is one piece too." Lu Qinglian found that her own was also one piece of money, so she went to take apart her little brother's and found that it was also one piece of money.The three people added up to three yuan. She looked at her brother and asked worriedly: "Brother, why did you give us so much money?" Or should they return it to him?It's not easy for my brother to raise them, and he still has to give them so much lucky money during the Chinese New Year.

Little Bao'er didn't know much about money yet, so he took the New Year's money that his sister returned to him, and turned to his brother.

"Don't you want it, little treasure?" The New Year's money that was just sent out was stuffed back into his hands. Lu Jin looked at the child who gave him the New Year's money, and wanted to return it to him. The child didn't want it anymore. He and the two The older brothers and sisters said: "My brother gave you this money, you can take it, you can use it to buy stationery and snacks, or you can keep it for yourself, and then take it out to buy things when you need it later." He has made a lot of money in the past year, so that he can't even take out the lucky money for the children.

"I want to save it!" Lu Qinglian put the money in her pocket with a happy face, not willing to return it to her brother.

Lu Haochen thought about it, and reluctantly returned the lucky money he just got to his brother, "Brother, help me hold it, I'm afraid I might lose it."

"Okay, brother will keep it for you for the time being, and if you want to use it, ask brother for it." Lu Jin had no choice but to help the two little boys save the new year's money.

It stands to reason that they would go back to the old house to pay New Year's greetings to their grandparents and uncles on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but they only went back last night, and they came back without taking a bite of food, so Lu Jin didn't plan to Take a few more kids over there.But staying at home had nothing else to do, so he simply took the three children of the family to Aunt Qin's house next door to play, and also went to visit Aunt Qin and Captain Lu to celebrate the new year.

"Oh, I just said I didn't see you coming, so you came." Aunt Qin was very happy to see Lu Jin brothers and sisters coming to their house to play. More happy than her were their two grandsons. Seeing the little friends coming, the children went to play together.

"Happy New Year, aunt." Lu Qinglian remembered what her brother had taught them, and wished New Year to aunt and sisters-in-law, and told the elders a few auspicious words taught by her brother.

Of course, Lu Haochen was not far behind, and he jumped out every good word.

Even the most shy and introverted little Bao'er would say Gong Xi Fa Cai when his older brothers and sisters paid New Year's greetings to their elders.

"Good boy, come here, Madam will give you some New Year's money." Aunt Qin took out the prepared New Year's money from her pocket, and distributed the New Year's money to the brothers and sisters of the Lu family.

Lu Jin didn't expect him to have it, so he couldn't laugh or cry, and hurriedly refused: "No, no, I don't have to give it." He is such a big man.

"Why don't you give it to me? Anyone who is not married is a child. If you want it, take it quickly. The money is not much, it's just a wish of the auntie." Aunt Qin shoved the new year's money into Lu Jin's hands without any excuse. Well, the New Year's money she gave was indeed not much. There was only [-] cents in a piece of red paper, and she also gave [-] cents to each of her two grandchildren.Only a little more was given to the two unmarried sons, and each was given five yuan.

Lu Jin had no choice but to take it, and also distributed the lucky money he had prepared to Da Mao and Er Mao brothers.

"You're not even married, so why give them the New Year's money?" Wang Xiumei couldn't laugh or cry immediately, and wanted to return the New Year's money to Lu Jin.In the end, seeing that Lu Jin refused to take it, she took a look at the lucky money that Lu Jin gave her son, and found that one of them contained one yuan. She said something to her mother-in-law, and hurried back to the house to pack some new year's money out. , and sent another lucky money to the four brothers and sisters Lu Jin.

To say that the happiest thing about the New Year must be the children, who can wear new clothes and get lucky money.

When Aunt Qin came to walk around, she took two New Year's money in her hands. Lu Qinglian beamed with joy, put the New Year's money into the inner pocket, and buttoned it before she felt relieved.

Wang Xiumei saw that the clothes worn by Lu Jin brothers and sisters were very good-looking, so she reached out her hands to touch the clothes Lu Qinglian was wearing curiously, and asked, "Where did you buy these clothes? The material feels so good."

"We didn't buy it, it was a gift from a friend." Lu Jin said.

Hearing that it was a gift from a friend, Wang Xiumei let out a groan, and also remembered the two young masters who drove to their village a few times before. They looked like children from rich families, and it was not surprising that they would give Lu Jin's family something so valuable. Strange.Thinking that she hadn't seen anyone in their village for a long time, Wang Xiumei asked, "Why did the friend who came to see you before come here after such a long time?"

"They went back to the Shanghai stock market to celebrate the New Year, not here." Lu Jin sat down on the chair and watched the children pay out the New Year's money and who got more and who got less.Seeing that Aunt Qin and Wang Xiumei were the only ones at home, and he didn't see Captain Lu and the others, he asked a little strangely: "Auntie, aren't Uncle Lu and Bowen at home?"

"I was invited by someone from your grandfather's side early in the morning. They said they wanted to separate the family and asked you, Uncle Lu, to help host it." Aunt Qin talked about what she heard from the people in the village when she got up early in the morning. thing.

The so-called good things don’t go out and bad things spread thousands of miles away. Their village is such a big place, and what happened to someone’s family in the village quickly spread throughout the village. Naturally, what happened at Lu Laogen’s house last night was the same as the whole village this morning. Everyone knows.

Speaking of this matter, Aunt Qin couldn't help but sighed, and said: "It's the New Year's Eve, what can't we talk about after the New Year's Eve?"

"Xiao Jin, did you go over there for dinner yesterday?" Wang Xiumei recalled that she saw Lu Jin taking a few younger brothers and sisters out yesterday, but she didn't see them come back afterwards.

"Yeah, we were there yesterday." Lu Jin briefly told Mrs. Qin and sister-in-law Xiumei about their dinner at the old house yesterday. What happens again, they don't know.

"Your grandma is too partial. If your uncle's family were separated, their good life would be over. Fortunately, you were separated at the beginning, so you don't have to live with their big family anymore. Together." Mrs. Qin didn't like the old lady Lu and Chen Aihong from the bottom of her heart, and it was not for nothing that she had been the director of women for so many years. She knew what kind of people were in this village. It is very clear, because she is too aware of what kind of people they are, and she will try her best not to mess with those people if she can. good.

Lu Jin smiled, and he was very glad that he made a decisive decision at the beginning, took advantage of others' sympathy for them, and asked Captain Lu to help them divide the family.It's not the most important thing to get more or less, but that the brothers and sisters can leave that place, and don't have to live a life of not being able to eat enough and being tortured by others.If they hadn't left, perhaps in a few years, the children in their family would become the same people as those in the old house. This was the last thing he wanted to see.

It was a new beginning for them to be able to leave that place, and now that someone begged them to go back, it was impossible for them to go back.

"I see, it's not that easy for your aunt to separate the family today. If Mrs. Lu can agree to the separation, it won't be the trouble she is today." It's not that Aunt Qin looked down on Wang. Beautiful, but Mrs. Lu, that old woman is too powerful. If the son is not tough enough, it is almost impossible for the daughter-in-law to want to separate the family.

Lu Jin listened and didn't respond, just smiled without saying a word.

Soon they changed the subject and didn't continue to talk about the things in the Lu family's old house.

But if they don't talk about it, it doesn't mean that the people in the village don't talk about it. The fight at Lu Laogen's house yesterday could be heard clearly in the next door. Everyone knows.

People in the village had nothing to do during Chinese New Year. A group of people heard that Lu Laogen's family had a family division on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Some good-hearted women ran to the courtyard wall of Lu Laogen's house to watch the excitement. A group of people The women are having a lively conversation.One of the women told everyone what she had heard: "Tsk tsk tsk, how can this little sister-in-law Lu Jianhong do such a thing? She doesn't wash the clothes she changed, and there are a few nieces who help her wash the clothes." ? The lady from the landlord’s house was not like her before.”

"Whoever wants to marry a woman like her in the future will really be unlucky for eight lifetimes."

"That's not it. And Lu Jiankang, who asked his niece to wash his clothes? It's really embarrassing."

"Hey, do you know what happened in their house last night?"

"I know this, say it is..."
