60s Splendid Life

Just when he was thinking about something, the little girl of their family stood beside him at some point, looked at the letter in his hand and asked, "Brother, are you reading the letter written to you by brother Shen Yu?" ?"

"Well, yes, it's your brother Shen Yu who wrote me a letter, saying that Grandma Shen wished us a happy new year and hoped that you will be healthy, safe and happy." Lu Jin didn't show the letter to the little girl, because the letter Some of the content in the letter is not suitable for children to read, so he just told a few children the old lady's greetings to them in the letter.

"Brother, did Grandma Shen go to another place with Brother Shen Yu and the others?" Lu Qinglian is a smart girl. The last time she heard her brother talk to her sister-in-law, she remembered her brother saying that Grandma Shen and her grandson went to other places. It's a New Year's event.

Lu Jin didn't expect that the little girl at home would remember what he said to others, and replied with a smile: "Yes, they went to another place for the New Year, and Grandma Shen's family is in another place. Grandma Shen went to celebrate the New Year with her children and her family." Although birth, old age, sickness and death are normal, their children have experienced the death of their parents and know what birth, old age, sickness and death are, but precisely because of this, he doesn't want to let the family The children knew that the old grandmother who was good to them was not in good health, so they went to other places for treatment, so that the children would not worry as much as he did.

"Oh." After hearing this, Lu Qinglian seemed a little disappointed on her face. After thinking for a while, she looked at her brother and asked, "Then will they come back?"

"Yes, I will definitely come back." Lu Jin nodded with certainty.

After getting an affirmative answer from her brother, the little girl smiled.

Hearing his brother and sister talking about Grandma Shen, Lu Haochen remembered his younger brother Shen Xing who had the best time with him, and ran over to his brother and said, "Brother, let's call Xing Xing to come to our house to play sometime!"

"Yes, but you can't invite them until they come back." Lu Jin didn't expect that after such a long time, their children would still remember the little brother who played with him a few times.

"Brother, when will Xing Xing and the others come back?"

"Well, I can't tell, maybe I'll be back soon, maybe I have to wait. Don't you want to wait?"

"willing!"

"As long as you want to, then you have to wait patiently. When Grandma Shen and Xing Xing come back, we will invite them to visit our house."

"When Xing Xing comes to our house, I will give him my slingshot to play with." Lu Haochen was still chirping and waiting for his good friend to come to give him his favorite toy to play with, and take him to shoot birds.

Seeing that little Bao'er was looking at him with dark eyes, Lu Jin pulled little Bao'er into his arms to hold him, and rubbed his chin on the top of the child's head, making the child giggle.Chenchen saw his younger brother playing with his elder brother, and he wanted to come to play with him too, and soon the three brothers started laughing.

Lu Qinglian is a little girl, the little girl is as shy as her little girl, and she is embarrassed to make trouble with her brother, so she stands quietly by the side and watches her two younger brothers playing with her brother, with a slight smile on her face.

At noon, the three children all took a nap on the kang, and Lu Jin lay down with him for a while, squinting his eyes for more than half an hour.

Woke up in the afternoon to get some milk and snacks for the three children. After eating, the three children began to write in the room. Not long after writing, Da Mao and Er Mao brothers also came to their house to play. He let the three children After packing up their homework, the children listened to the radio in the house.Lu Jin stood at the door and talked to Aunt Qin, and told Aunt Qin that someone had climbed over the wall in their yard.

"What, someone jumped over the wall and entered your house? Did you see it? Did you lose anything at home?" Aunt Qin asked with a frightened expression when she heard Lu Jin say that a thief had come to the house.

"I didn't bump into anyone face-to-face. I haven't found anything missing at home for the time being, so there should be nothing." But it was precisely because of this that Lu Jin was sure that the thief didn't steal anything when he went to their house, and he would definitely come back a second time. And he was going to catch the thief when the second thief came back, so he needed someone to help him.

He didn't tell the children about this because he was afraid that the children would be frightened, but he felt that he had to tell the adults, especially the people who lived next to them, and he had to say hello in advance, in case their family wanted to There are really thieves coming, and when they call to catch the thief, someone needs to come to help, and the fastest to come to their house is the neighbor's house across the alley from them.

"Why don't you take Xiaobao and the others to live in our house for a while? I'll talk to your captain later and ask him to arrange a few more people to patrol the village during the day and night to see if we can catch this little thief as soon as possible." Aunt Qin was afraid that Lu Jin's family only had a few children, and if a thief really came in, a few children would not be worth anything, and it would still be dangerous if they met a thief.

"Thank you, Aunt Qin, it's just that it's too troublesome to move to your house, we'd better live in our own house." Lu Jin didn't really want to disturb other people's houses, and living in other people's houses was not a long-term solution, only A thousand days to be a thief, how can a thousand days to guard against a thief.

It's just that if this little thief is not caught, it's true that they can't sleep peacefully at night.

On the contrary, it is very necessary to arrange people to patrol. He emphasized here, "Everyone in our village goes out to work during the day, and many people have no one at home. If someone enters the house to steal I don’t even know, it’s better to arrange people to patrol in our village.” And what he thought was that if someone patrolled at night, if a thief came to their house at night, someone would hear the call to catch the thief and rush to help them.

"Yes, what you said is also true. We haven't found anyone stealing anything in our village for many years. Everyone doesn't even close the door of the house when they go out. I have to remind everyone later that they have to lock the door when they go out. That's good." After thinking about it, Aunt Qin felt that this matter should be taken seriously, otherwise it would be difficult for people in the village to find things after they lost them.

The two talked about this matter for a while, and Lu Jin also put forward some suggestions on this matter. The main thing is to see how to catch that little thief without making a fuss!

"Oh, it's getting late, you have to cook too, and the aunt has gone home to cook." Aunt Qin saw that it was getting late, she wanted to go home to help her daughter-in-law cook together, and called her two grandchildren go home.

It's just that the two grandsons refused to go back when they heard that they were going home. Aunt Qin had no choice but to tell the two grandsons to stay in other people's homes for a while before coming to pick them up.

"It's okay, just let them play here, with Xiaolian and Chenchen here, they will watch over them."

"All right, I'll call them back later."

Lu Jin sent his Aunt Qin to the gate of the yard, and watched the people leave before he went back to make dinner.

They picked a lot of wild vegetables back in the morning, and the wild vegetables they picked have been cleaned and soaked in water. Now he just needs to pick up the soaked wild vegetables, wring out the water, chop them up, and mix them with the scrambled eggs Make dumpling stuffing and you can make dumplings.

When my sister saw him cooking in the kitchen, she also came to help make dumplings.

Today I had dumplings to eat. After obtaining the consent of the children, Lu Jin did not cook rice. Instead, he cooked a dumpling, fried tofu, and kelp and scallop soup. This was almost enough for their dinner.

Shanghai Stock Exchange

Compared with the weather in Qingcheng Town, the early spring in Shanghai is colder.

Wearing a long black woolen coat, the tall boy with the scarf pulled up to cover his chin was rushing back home from outside, but after walking not far, Shen Yu found a group of students fighting with weapons in front of him. After a detour, it took more than ten minutes to return to the door of the house.

They now live in a small three-story bungalow, and the exterior wall of the house looks a bit old.This small bungalow was the house left by his grandfather. His grandpa and grandmother had only one daughter, his mother. After his grandfather and grandmother passed away, this house naturally fell into his mother's name.

The nature of his father's work is a bit special. He didn't work in the Shanghai stock market in the early years, and he was transferred back to work in the Shanghai stock market later.Shen Yu remembered that when he was young, he was taken by his mother to live by his father's side for a few years, and later he was sent back to the Shanghai stock market because he wanted to study, and lived with his grandfather and grandmother. He lived in this small bungalow all the time, until his grandparents passed away one after another, but at that time his father had also been transferred back to work in the Shanghai stock market, and his mother came back with his father.In the second year after his grandparents died, his younger brother was born.

Speaking of which, his mother's personality is not very good. His mother was born in a wealthy family and was raised by his grandparents, so she inevitably has a temper of a young lady.Shen Yu remembered that he lived with his parents when he was young, and he often heard his parents quarreling. Later, after his parents returned to the Shanghai stock market, and because of his younger brother's birth, his mother often lost his temper with his father. As long as mother loses her temper, she will come back to live in the house left by their grandfather, and his father will follow him every few days to find someone, so his father will occasionally live with them for a few days, but his father mostly When he was young, he still lived in the dormitory assigned to him by the unit. If his mother didn't get angry with his father, she would follow his father to live in the dormitory of the unit.

Shen Yu had been very busy with his father's work since he could remember, and his mother was with his father most of the time. Although the husband and wife had occasional quarrels, their relationship was still very good.And because of his work, his father didn't have much time to take care of his family and accompany his children.

Therefore, when Shen Yu grew up to be a teenager, the time spent with his parents was not as long as he spent with his younger brother Shen Xing.
