60s Splendid Life

Just now, Lu Jin took out all the meat left in the space, fried seven or eight pieces of meat together with today’s meat, saved it for home food, took two pieces out and packed them for giving away, and packed a small portion Put the sauce in the basket together and go out with the basket. Before leaving, he told the grandpa who was sitting in the house with the children doing their homework, "Grandpa, take them at home and put them to bed when they finish their homework." Go take a nap, I'll go out and deliver something and I'll be back."

"Hey, you go, let me watch them." Yu Wenchang looked up and looked outside, seeing the sun outside was so big, and seeing his grandson going out, he hurriedly shouted: "You put on a hat before going out. "

"Yeah, I'm getting it now. Sister Chenchen, Xiaobao, listen to grandpa at home, brother, go and come back soon, don't go outside to bask in the sun." Lu Jin took down the straw hat hanging on the wall Wearing it on the head, I didn't forget to tell the children at home before going out.

He first went to Aunt Qin's house next door, and after giving a piece of meat, he went to his uncle's natal house and left the other piece of meat with a small portion of sauce on both sides, telling him that Aunt Qin and uncle How should the two mothers make this meat delicious?At this time of noon, others had to rest, so he left without staying in other people's homes after delivering the things.

On the way home, he met their captain and several small captains, followed by two men he had never seen before. One of them looked tall, with gray hair at the temples, and his face was a bit stern and serious. About 70 to [-] years old; the other looks a little younger, and the actual age cannot be seen from the face.

It's just that the younger man looked like he was ill, coughing all the way, and the tall man next to him helped him to walk.

The two don't look like people from their village, and they don't look like country people. Country people work in the fields all day long and bask in the sun. A person who is 40 years old looks like 60 years old. won't look so young.

Lu Jin walked slowly behind, listening to the people in front of him talking, he could hear that Uncle Lu seemed to be suppressing his anger and talking to someone.From what the previous few people said, he grasped a few key words, and suddenly remembered some materials and memoirs related to this period of history that he had read in his previous life, which mentioned some things in the 70s and [-]s.If he guessed correctly, these two people might have been sent to the countryside for labor and reform.

A team leader asked if they should live in the cowshed, and Lu Dequan became angry. He sprayed the team leader and said, "What kind of cowshed do you live in? Is the cowshed a place where people can live? No one is still sick." Come on, hurry up and find a house that can live in people, and arrange people to live in it first." If they want to die with them, they have to collect the body, but when they think of those two people still following them, such words After all, Lu De didn't say anything.

The scolded team leader touched his nose, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"Looking for work for us all day, is it to see that we have nothing to do?" Lu Dequan felt that the people above were simply looking for work for them, so he sent these two people over as soon as he said hello, telling them that they were sent to the countryside to participate working?He was stunned for a moment when he saw the two people who sent them here. The two guys who sent them left him and drove away.

It would be better if two younger people were sent here. One of these two people looked old and the other looked sick, and they didn't seem to be able to do a job. One can imagine Lu Dequan's mood.

Several other captains also echoed. In fact, they didn't want to accept these two people, because they felt that they would have to provide them with food to support them. If they didn't give them food, they couldn't explain why they starved to death here. Let's give them food. They gave it to two people who had nothing to do with them, and they got less food, so at this moment, no one welcomes such two people they don't know to come to their village.

Lu Dequan's mind is more flexible than that of the other team leaders. In fact, he guessed that the people above were doing something, so he stuffed these people who didn't seem to be able to work into their countryside. , I heard that every village has them, so their village was divided into two.The people have already been sent to them, so he can do this, he can only take them in first, and the immediate priority is to arrange a place for the two of them to live in first.

Lu Jin followed behind and listened. Although he was a little impatient listening to Captain Lu's voice, he could tell that Captain Lu had a good heart and would not deliberately arrange people in places like the cowshed. to live.Although he hadn't visited the cowshed in their village, it was conceivable that a place like the cowshed would definitely be uninhabitable.

It seems that these two people were arranged to come to their village, and it would be better if they were arranged to go to other places.

At this time, Lu Jin didn't know that he would soon become neighbors with these two people. When he saw several captains leading people towards the commune, he went back towards his home.When he got home, the three children in the family had already laid down on the kang to sleep. Grandpa was sitting against the wall, shaking a cattail fan in his hand, and the children were all asleep.

"I'm back, have the things been delivered?" Grandpa asked when he saw him come back.

"Send it, I just sent a piece of meat to my auntie and Auntie Qin's next door." Lu Jin entered the room, took off the hat on his head, went out at noon and came back, his hair and clothes were covered with sweat Wet, he hung the hat back on the hook on the wall, put down the basket in his hand, and said to the grandpa who was sitting on the Kang who was not asleep: "Grandpa, go to the next room and lie down for a while."

"Just let them sleep here, let's go, I'll take you there."

Finding a towel to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and drinking another glass of water, Lu Jin stood at the door waiting for his grandfather to come down, and took him to the next room.

There is no kang in this room, but a wooden bed, which was built when he asked an old carpenter to build furniture when he first moved in. However, no one lives in this room, and no one sleeps on the bed. , still new.Just this time when their grandfather came, he tidied up the house and laid out mats and beds, so that people could live in it.

There is also a wooden shelf in the room, which he usually uses to display goods, but now it is empty and nothing is placed, and he has put away everything.

"Grandpa, you hang your clothes on this shelf. We don't live in this room, and it's a bit empty, so I feel sorry for you, Grandpa, to live here. If you're not used to living here, you can sleep with us next door." Lu Jin went out and took a wooden shelf and came back, and put it against the wall to hang clothes for his grandpa. The room here does not seem to have a wardrobe in the room they live in. He is worried that there is no place to hang the clothes that grandpa changed.

"Okay, it's pretty good, there's nothing I'm not used to living in." Yu Wenchang looked at the clean room, which was many times better than the small dormitory where he had lived in the labor camp for more than ten years.And the house is so clean because it has been cleaned at first glance. Knowing that his grandson has cleaned up the house for him because of his arrival, he is still very happy, "You can go back to sleep for a while, grandpa can just rest here for a while gone."

"Okay, grandpa, you can sleep here for a while, and call me if you have anything to do. I'm in the next room." Lu Jin left his grandpa in the room and went out to take a shower. He heard Voices came from the unoccupied courtyard next door. It sounded like the voice of their Captain Lu and several other captains.

He remembered the two strangers he saw on the road just now, so Captain Lu arranged for them to live in the yard next to him?

Oops, his melon!

Lu Jin finally remembered one thing, that is, he planted a lot of melons in the yard next door. He saw that there was no one living in the yard next door, and there happened to be a small piece of land there, so he went to open it and plant vegetables. I sprinkled the seeds again and planted melons. Now the yard over there is covered with melon vines, and there are many flowers and small melons!

As soon as he thought of his melons, he heard someone asking: "Who grew melons here?"

"It should have been planted by that kid Xiaojin."

In the latter sentence, Lu Jin could recognize the voice of Captain Lu, and there seemed to be a little smile in his voice?

Is this making fun of him going to other people's yards to grow melons?Wasn't there no one living in the yard before? Lu Jin felt a little wronged.Well, the melons in the yard should be given to the people who live in them. Anyway, there is still a yard on their side. If he wants more, he can ask his sister-in-law Xiumei to help him collect them outside. It will cost a few dollars. You can collect a whole house of melons and come back.

Lu Jin stood at the door of their room and listened for a while, but the voices from the next room stopped, as if several captains had left.

Should he go over and say hello to his new neighbors?Lu Jin hesitated in his heart, and felt that it was not good for him to rush over, but he also missed the melons in his yard.Hearing the low muffled coughing sound from the next door, he thought of the two people he saw on the road just now. The man who was coughing all the way seemed to be in poor health. He had an amazing feeling.

He always thought that Uncle Liu was already the most handsome man he had ever seen, but he didn't expect to see a man who was more handsome than Uncle Liu?

Of course, it doesn't mean that Uncle Liu is not good-looking, but that these two people belong to completely different kinds of beauty, one is a bit cold and the other is sick and fragile. .This kind of beauty in the back is a bit soul-stirring, and Lu Jin finally realized what kind of beauty the sick beauty she heard before was like.
