60s Splendid Life

Good deeds can travel thousands of miles without going out, Lujia Village is such a slap-sized place, and if something happens in a house, it will spread throughout the village within half a day, not to mention that Lu Laogen's house was so lively last night, and the next morning There is no one in the whole village who is ignorant of what happened to their family, and people gathered at the head of the village, the end of the village, and the fields are all discussing this matter.

It was not until the next morning that Lu Jin went to work in the tofu workshop that he learned about what happened in the old house last night from Mrs. Qin. Last night when he was at home, he heard someone shouting outside. It's just that he is not a person who likes to join in the fun, so he didn't go out to have a look outside at that time. He really didn't expect that this matter had something to do with their family.

Although they separated and had trouble with the people in the old house because of various things, it is undeniable that they still have blood relations with those people. In the eyes of others, even if they separated, they They are still family.

"Your uncle and cousin are taking care of your grandfather and your sister-in-law in the hospital. What happened to your sister-in-law was also done by herself." Aunt Qin didn't want to talk about Lu Jianhong's dirty things in front of a half-grown child, but she still told her Lu Jin made a reminder, "Last night I heard your Uncle Lu come back and say that your grandfather's situation may not be very good, but the matter of taking care of your grandfather is not up to you, and your uncle and Second Uncle and the others, no matter how many cousins ​​are older than you, if they come to you to discuss something, don't foolishly agree."

Hearing his Aunt Qin's words, knowing that Aunt Qin was thinking of them, Lu Jin's heart warmed up, but he also said truthfully: "Thank you, Aunt Qin, I understand. I can't even take care of this end of my house. Where are you?" Take care of them."

"Well, yes, you brothers and sisters are so young, it's important to take care of your own life. But with your grandpa, you can't ignore it. If you want eggs at home, you can send some eggs to you If there are no eggs at the auntie's side, there are some eggs at the auntie's place, and you can go to the auntie's place to get them." Aunt Qin knew that Lu Jin and the master's side were not very happy, but this broke the bones and still connected the tendons After all, they are still relatives, so if something happened to their grandpa, their grandson would ignore them, and the people in the village would talk badly, and they would say anything at that time.

Lu Jin knew that they lived in the village, and their reputation was still very important to them. He didn't want to ruin his reputation because of some people. He could disregard his own reputation, but he couldn't disregard the lives of his brothers and sisters. Fame is nothing more than a few eggs, so if you buy a few eggs to gain a good reputation, he will not lose money, "Thank you ma'am, I don't need to take it from your house. I still have a few eggs at home. I will send them to my aunt later." go."

The two stood in the corner outside the tofu shop and talked for a while, then went back to the tofu shop to work together.

***

Recently, the business of the tofu shop is so-so, neither good nor bad.

Taking advantage of the good weather at this time, they will make more fermented bean curd and store them for sale in recent years. Otherwise, it will take at least three months for fermented bean curd hair from sealing the altar to opening the altar, and they will make it when there is no more It was too late.After the weather is hot, their cold bean curd sticks are selling well, mainly because their cold bean curd sauce is fragrant. Others can’t make this taste at home, so everyone loves them and buys them here, and a big bowl of cold bean curd sticks for ten cents is not expensive. It is expensive, and many people can still afford it once in a while.

The ropes next to the tofu shop are covered with bean curd sticks for drying every day. From soaking beans to cooking beans to making bean curd sticks and drying bean curd sticks, it’s all work.In addition, they ship goods every morning, and their tofu shop is always busy every day. Everyone is busy when they come in the morning and get off work at noon.

Because fermented bean curd can't be made well, and if it is bad, the whole pot will be ruined. Lu Jin is not very relieved of the work of his apprentices. Every time he makes fermented bean curd, he will follow closely and must control every link. .

"Okay, let's seal the mouth of the altar."

"Okay, I'll come."

The last jar of fermented bean curd of the day was sealed, and Lu Jin wrote the time on a piece of paper and pasted it, so that it would not be easy to confuse it with the previous one.

There is a row of jars in the corner, seeing that there will be no place to put them if we continue to make fermented bean curd, it seems that it is time to talk to their captain about expanding the tofu workshop, Lu Jin thought in his heart .But this day he was rushing home, and he didn't have time to talk to their captain about it on the way, so he had to find time to talk about it later.

When he came home from outside at noon, his grandfather and three children were already at home.

Since his grandfather came, Lu Jin didn't have to worry about his family all the time when he was busy outside. Knowing that there was an adult at home and nothing happened to the three children, he could work outside without worry.As soon as he came back, he heard the sound of three children making noise in the house. His grandfather sat on the stool by the door and watched them laughing. There was a lazy big yellow cat lying on his feet. He came back and called out "Grandpa."

"Hey, I'm back." Yu Wenchang saw the eldest grandson came back from work, and saw that the clothes on the eldest grandson were wet with sweat. Knowing that he worked hard in the tofu workshop, he hurriedly took a dry towel Wipe the sweat of the grandson.

"Brother." Chenchen and Xiaobao saw their brother coming back, they both ran over and hugged his leg.

"Don't hug me, I'm covered in sweat." Only a few brats didn't dislike him, and Lu Jin even disliked his sweaty smell, so he quickly lifted the two brats who were hugging his thighs away , the two little guys didn't dislike him, they smiled happily.

Lu Jin threw away the wet towel he brought back, took the dry towel handed over by his grandfather, and wiped the sweat from his forehead and body. Now that the weather is hot, the temperature in their tofu shop is extremely high , Every day when I come back there, I’m sweating all over my body. The towel I bring every day to wipe the sweat is enough to wring out the water. “Have you had lunch? What do you want for lunch?”

"Brother, I want to eat noodles with eggs."

"Brother, I also want to eat noodles, with eggs."

Recently, Xiao Baoer likes to follow his brother, he does what his brother does, and he also follows what his brother says.

After Lu Jin asked her sister and grandpa if they had no objection to eating noodles, she drank half a glass of water and went to the kitchen.As soon as he reached the kitchen, his grandfather followed him and asked him if he knew what happened to his grandfather. It seemed that his grandfather had heard someone else tell him about it. Lu Jin replied, "Madam Qin told me today."

"Why don't you find a time later and go over and ask your grandpa what's going on? It's not easy for you as a boy to ask about your sister-in-law's affairs, so just pretend you don't know." Yu Wenchang arrived in Lujia Village He has not dealt with Lu Laogen and the others for such a long time. He either goes to school to see his grandson or takes care of his grandson at home, but even so, he still learned from some people in the village that his grandson was Back to what happened in the village, so he felt somewhat resentful and dissatisfied with Lu Laogen's family.

But even though he doesn't like those people, Yu Wenchang also knows that that is his grandson's grandpa. Now that he knows what happened to Lu Laogen and his girl, they can ignore the sister-in-law's affairs, but the grandpa doesn't hear about it. It's always not good not to ask, so he came over to ask the elder grandson's idea.

"I'll go to my uncle's natal house to ask about it later." Lu Jin didn't want to have any direct contact with the people in the old house.

The water in the pot boiled, and he took a few noodles and threw them in to cook. The egg noodles were still in stock in his space, even when he was the poorest, he was not willing to exchange them for money. They were all left for his family. Children eat.He used to leave a bag of noodle pancakes at home when he went out, and the little girl in his family would cook this noodle and eat it with his brother.

After the noodles are boiled, take them out, then change a pot of water to boil, break in five eggs, then put the cooked noodles in, and separate them into two large bowls and three small bowls. Put an egg on top, scald a few green vegetables on top, add a few drops of sesame oil and a handful of shallots, and you can take it back to the house and eat it there.

This bowl of noodles is an extremely luxurious thing in other people's homes, but they often eat it in their homes, and several children still like it very much.

When the noodles were on the table, the three siblings sat at their seats and started eating with chopsticks. The elder sister likes to save the eggs for last, so Chenchen and Xiaobao ate the eggs first as soon as they picked up the chopsticks.As for grandpa, he is often reluctant to eat the eggs in the bowl, so he divides his own eggs and distributes them to the two little grandchildren.

Lu Jin didn't know it at first, but after seeing his grandfather do it twice, he stopped his grandfather from doing it again, and ordered the children not to eat the food given to them in the bowl of his grandfather.Fortunately, after more than a year in the family, there is no shortage of food or clothing, and the children are not too greedy for a bite. After he taught him once, the grandfather left them what he was reluctant to eat. Several children also knew that they refused.

"Grandpa, eat slowly, I'll go out for a while. Sister Chenchen, you ate the noodles, and took the bowls to the kitchen to wash." Lu Jin was still rushing out to deliver things, and quickly ate up a bowl of noodles It was so hot that his forehead was covered with sweat, he wiped it casually with the back of his hand.

"Okay, you go, I'll wash the dishes later." Grandpa Yu replied.

"Let my sister and Chenchen do the washing up." Lu Jin glanced at the siblings who were still eating noodles.As soon as she received her brother's gaze, Lu Qinglian hurriedly responded: "Brother, don't worry, I will take a bath with Chenchen."

My sister and Chenchen are changing their teeth now. My sister's front teeth have been replaced, and now she is changing her big teeth.Chenchen is just the beginning, a few front teeth have fallen out, and the new teeth have not yet fully grown, and the conversation is leaking. This child has not been very talkative recently, and even smiles with his mouth closed, for fear that others will see that he has a gap tooth.

"Xiaobao, please be obedient at home."

"Brother, Xiaobao is very good."

Lu Jin couldn't help laughing when he heard the child's rebuttal. He smiled and went out with the bowl he had finished eating. He found a small basket and picked up twenty eggs in it. After thinking about it, he found another bag I put a few pancakes in and went out with them.
