60s Splendid Life

"Do you want to do something again?" Lu Jin often came to him to ask him to help him make things. As soon as Lu Jin came, Mr. Lu knew that he must come to him for something.

"I'm looking for San Ye to help you make some furniture." With the experience of custom-made furniture for his own home last year, Lu Jin is also very proficient in ordering furniture for others this time, and the communication with San Ye is also very smooth. The two quickly determined what to do.As for how to do it, the third master knows how to do it better than him, so I leave it to the professionals.

Before leaving, he paid a deposit of two yuan, and the two agreed to pay the rest of the money after the things were finished.

"Okay, I'll send it to you when it's ready." Lu Sanye took the money and promised to send it as soon as possible.

"Okay, please trouble the third master." Lu Jin thanked the third master and said goodbye to the third grandma before going out. When he went out, he met the son of the third master Lu. He also knew someone, and the two of them were at the door After saying hello, he strode away.

When he came home from outside, his sister-in-law Xiumei had already brought Da Mao and Er Mao home.

Lu Jin only has time now. He packed some extra things from his home that the neighbors next door should be able to use, and carried them to the next door to give to the neighbors. By the way, he returned the remaining money to the other party, and told him When the things are ready in a few days, they will send them over and tell him how much money is left, and ask him to pay the remaining money at that time.

"Thank you, I'm sorry to trouble you. You can take the rest of the money and don't have to return it to me." Seeing that Lu Jin had ordered things for him, Murong Zhende also sent them so many things. Today they even ate other people's money. For the two meals, they didn't give anyone a penny, so he felt a little embarrassed.

"I just run errands for you, how can I ask you so much money." Of course, Lu Jin would not take so much money from others, not to mention that the two are not relatives, but he is just running errands for others. The remaining eight dollars here is a lot.

Murong Zhende didn't reach out to pick it up, but just said: "You sent us something."

Lu Jin couldn't laugh or cry at this, put the rest of the money back into the other party's hand, and said: "These are not very valuable things that our family doesn't need. Uncle Rong, don't give others so much money casually in the future , when you go out, you still need to keep some money on your person, the days are still long, you should think about it in the long run." His words gave the other party a hint that if they have money, they should save some money.

He didn't know if these two people knew that they were sent to the countryside, and they might not be able to go back to the city for a while, which might be three to five years, or ten or eight years.Moreover, he doesn't think these two new neighbors seem like people who can farm the land. Don't spend all the money in their pockets, and they won't even have money for food in the future.

In other words, he is not a greedy person. If he were a greedy person, today's meal would be enough to beat him up.

Murong Zhende also knew this truth, and gave him two of the money that Lu Jin returned to him, "Then please help me find out where I can buy fine grains, and help me buy some fine grains." One of the family members was in poor health The people in the village need to be carefully raised. Today the village sends them coarse grains. He can eat them himself, but the person in the family can't.The small bag of rice that Lu Jin sent yesterday was not enough to eat a few meals, he still had to buy some more fine grains for the family to eat.

"Okay, I'll send it to you tomorrow. If you want to buy grain, it's best to wait until after the autumn harvest. The price of grain will be cheaper at that time. If you need it at that time, you can come to me and I will help you in the village. Ask if there is anyone who sells grain." Lu Jin has been in the country for more than a year, and he has asked people to help buy all kinds of grain, but the grain he bought is processed and then sold. He doesn't like the business of selling grain directly. The price is low and the risk is high.

But it was not too difficult for them to buy some grain in the countryside, so he agreed to help them buy grain.

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you." Murong nodded, and his impression of this country boy got better in his heart.

Lu Jin didn't stay in other people's homes too long, and he went home after delivering the things.

The next day, Lu Jin sent the fine grains he bought to the yard next door, and they stopped delivering food to the neighbors next door. They could deliver food for a day or two, but they couldn't give it to others for a lifetime, so the rest of the day still depended on They worked hard on their own.

In the next few days, the new neighbors next door would come to fetch water from them every day, but only Mr. Rong went out, and the other Lu Jin had never seen him go out. Even the two times they went to the next door, he would He had never seen anyone before, except for the occasional coughing sound from the next door, otherwise he would have thought that there was only one person living in the yard next door.

He thought that the person might not be in good health, and he didn't like seeing people.

Of course, this is someone else's preference, and Lu Jin won't comment on it.On the contrary, many people in the village were very curious about the arrival of two strangers in their village. After knowing that the two people lived in the yard next to them, some people asked him when they went to the tofu shop to buy tofu, and asked him some strange questions. He didn't know how to answer such strange questions.

Don't they all have the same nose and a pair of eyes, and they all look like humans. What's so curious?

Lu Jin didn't have any entertainment for the country people. He usually liked to chat with his parents and watch strangers when he had nothing to do. He felt helpless and amused. Come to watch as a zoo animal? ... In my memory, there is really one thing, every time they go out, there are many eyes staring at them.

Fortunately, they have lived in the village for a long time now, and the villagers are used to seeing them, and they will no longer watch them like monkeys.

Lu Jin found that since their grandpa came, he was much more relaxed. The three children in the family were watched by his grandpa, so he didn't have to worry about his family all the time when he went out to do something.And he only knew that his grandpa was full of culture. He could not only help the children at home with homework, but also tell stories to the children. Grandpa could also tell the Journey to the West told by the old man on the radio, which was no better than the one on the radio. The old man's speech is poor, and it is still the kind that can be rewinded and repeated infinitely. Now Chenchen and Xiao Bao'er kissed his grandfather more than he did.

Grandpa has moved to their room to sleep now, and he happened to tell Chenchen and Xiaobao a bedtime story.

His brother fell out of favor like this...

"It's not from our house, it's from the neighbor's house next door. Send it to the next door, and I'll take you there." After a few days, Mr. Lu finished the furniture and pushed the cart with his eldest son. , to send things to them, just in the afternoon when Lu Jin was at home, he took Mr. Lu and the others to the next door to deliver things, and saw another owner who lived in the yard next door.

The first time Lu Jin saw this man on the road, he thought this man was pretty. The second time he saw this man, he couldn't help but look at him, and met a pair of smiling men. Eye.

When Qi Yu saw the young man looking at him, he was not surprised that others stared blankly at him. The young man looked at him with clear eyes, more like admiring a beautiful thing, a beautiful person, and did not make him feel disgust.

It was the first time for Lu Sanye and Lu Sanye's son to see such a beautiful man, and they were stunned when they saw Qi Yu.Of course, the people in the village didn't have any other ideas about a beautiful man. It was the first time they saw him, and it turned out that men can also grow into such a look.

But Murong Zhende doesn't like others seeing Qi Yu like that.

"Do you want to put this cabinet in your house?" Third Master Lu came back to his senses and asked the host. He knew that the two strangers in front of him should be the people who came to their village recently.

"Put it in the room." Murong Zhende led someone to put things in the bedroom, and asked people to put the remaining tables and chairs in the main room outside.

When everyone was moving things, Qi Yu didn't go to help, and he couldn't help with his appearance, so he could only stand by and watch others work.

Lu Jin also helped to move the small things down. Unexpectedly, the person sitting there took the initiative to talk to him. He heard the other party say to him, "You are the child who lives in the yard next door. Your name is Xiao Jin. Did you come here a few times before, I was resting in the house, but I didn’t see you, thank you so much for sending us so many things from your family.”

"You're welcome, Uncle Rong has already thanked you, so you don't need to thank me any more." Lu Jin replied.

"I still need it." Qi Yu couldn't help smiling when he heard the boy's words, remembering that when they first came here, they heard that the melons in their yard were planted by a child named Xiaojin next door. He pointed to the vines in the yard that bloomed and bore many fruits and asked, "Aren't you going to pick these melons?"

"Leave it for you to eat. We also planted it in the yard over there. If you can't finish it, you can pick it off and make pickled cucumbers, and let it be eaten slowly later." Lu Jin remembered that this person's health was not very good. , reminded: "Your health is not good, you may not be able to eat these things often."

"We don't know how to do it. You can pick some and pickle them. These melons are all grown by you. If they stay on them to grow old, they will be wasted." In fact, they would pick two cucumbers to eat every day during the few days they were here, but There are too many melons on this piece of melon vines, and the two of them can't finish it. Instead of leaving it on it and wasting it, it's better for people to pick it up and eat it, or make it into marinade as Lu Jin said. cucumber.

Lu Jin thought about it for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll pick it later."

They moved all the things on the cart, and when Mr. Lu and the owner of the shopping settled the remaining balance, Lu Jin took Mr. Lu and his son out with the cart.
