60s Splendid Life

Just before the autumn harvest, Lu Jianguo came back from the town with his father.

When Lu Laogen came back, his son found a mule cart to help pull him back. When he got out of the cart, he was carried back to the house by his two sons to lie down. It seemed that he really couldn't get up.

That day, many people in the village found out about it and went to see Lu Laogen. Captain Lu also brought some people here, and sent condolences and some things. Those who hadn't left the fifth service would give some things to show their concern. , As for the others, they just came to see and say hello and left.The best way to give things these days is to give a few eggs or some money, and the next best thing is to pick vegetables and fruits from the field and send them away.

Those who went into the house to see Lu Laogen shook their heads and sighed when they went out, because they all knew that Lu Laogen would spend the rest of his life lying in bed.

The old lady Lu cried in front of outsiders, it was heartbroken, it was miserable, but as soon as the people outside left, her tears were put away immediately, because it was inconvenient for the couple to live in the same room. On the grounds of taking care of their sons, they asked the two sons to move the old man who was paralyzed on the bed waiting to be served to the opposite room.It just happened that she drove her daughter to live in the firewood house, and the old man who couldn't get up lived in the vacant room. From now on, each of them will live in a room, and the old man will not affect her in any way.

"You will live here in the future, and it will be convenient for your sons to take care of you. You see, when I am old, you can't move if you want to move, and don't blame me in your heart. When you live here in the future, you can call me if you have anything to do." We'll come right away." Mrs. Lu stood in front of her husband's bed and said a lot of things, in a word, it was for your own good that I kicked you out to live in the house outside.

Lu Laogen, who was lying on the bed, was very angry, but no matter how angry he was, he had to accept the fact that he was no longer the old patriarch, and could no longer dictate to his old wife who had been with him for decades. He is a useless person who is lying on the bed now, and he has to be taken care of even when he eats and goes to the bathroom.

"You take a good rest in the house. I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's anything delicious to cook for you." Mrs. Lu went out after saying that. After she went out, she didn't rush to cook. All the things were brought to her house, and at night she cooked a pot of half-cooked sweet potato porridge for her son to feed to her husband, while she cooked a large bowl of egg soup and brought it back to the house for drinking.

The old lady didn't know that after she went back into the house, there was a pair of gloomy eyes staring at her back.

Lu Jianhong with disheveled hair stared at her mother for a long time like a ghost before floating into the kitchen to find something to eat.Lu Jianguo, who came from behind, went to the kitchen to get food. When he saw a person squatting in the corner of the kitchen, he was taken aback. After looking at it clearly, he realized that this was his own sister. He hadn't seen anyone since he came back, " Why don't you make a sound here, are you in good health?"

Lu Jianhong didn't even raise his head, and didn't say a word.

Seeing that no one spoke, Lu Jianguo seemed to remember something, sighed, and went out with a bowl of porridge.

Seeing their old lady treating her father-in-law like that and closing the door of the house at night, Chen Aihong said to the man who came back to her house: "When I get old and can't move, you can't leave me alone."

"How could it be, I love you so much, and I listen to you in everything. When you get old, I will definitely not ignore you. It is true that you don't ignore me. You see, I am several years older than you. I When you are too old to move, you can still walk." Lu Jianqun put his arms around Wen Xiang's wife, bowed his head and kissed her on the mouth.He saw his mother treat his father like that today, and he went with his elder brother to help carry his father to the opposite room, but he didn't think it was wrong for his mother to do that.

Both of these couples are extremely selfish people in their hearts, but at this moment, both of them are talking sweet words to each other, as if they can deceive themselves, just as they can deceive each other.

As for whether the husband and wife will still be as loving as they are now, it will depend on the future.

On the same day, Lu Jin also heard that Lu Laogen was back, but he just sent some things to his aunt, and asked his hall brother to help him deliver them to the old house, and he didn't go there himself.

Sleeping until midnight that night, Lu Jin heard the sound of a kitten meowing from the room. It didn't sound like a lazy meow, but a very low meowing sound. At that time, he woke up and fell asleep with his eyes closed. caught.When he got up the next day to look at the lazy cat's nest, he found that there were a few more kittens in the nest, two big yellow cats with the same coat color as lazy, and a black civet cat, three small civet cats. Kittens are fat.

When he went to see it, Lanlan and the three cubs were sleeping in the nest, and Lanlan opened his eyes and glanced at him.

"So you gave birth, and I said where did the kitten meow last night." Lu Jin leaned over to take a look at the three kittens and Lanlan, and congratulated Lanlan, "Congratulations on being Mommy."

Responding to him, Lalan stretched out a long leg and hid a big fat cub under his body.

Lu Jin: "..." What about the father-daughter relationship?Boo!

Grandpa also woke up at this time. As soon as he sat up, he saw his grandson squatting next to the cat's litter to look at it. He yawned and asked, "Did the cat give birth?"

"Yeah, grandpa, how do you know?" Lu Jin just looked at it, and didn't reach out to touch the mother cat's cubs. He knew that all animals would protect their cubs and didn't like others to touch their cubs, so even if they were raised at home, He didn't touch their cubs rashly.

"I woke up in the morning and heard the sound of a kitten meowing." Yu Wenchang got up and leaned over to watch the kitten with his grandson. When he was young, he also raised such a small thing, a cat like this The thing has a very bad temper, doesn't love its relatives, and stretches its claws to scratch people at every turn.But he thinks the one raised by their grandson's family is better, but now that it has a cub, he doesn't know if it's good, "I have to tell the little ones later, and tell them not to touch the kitten."

"Well, I just wanted to say that I want to tell them not to touch the kitten." Facing Lanlana's wary gaze, Lu Jin gave the stingy cat a cold snort, "You Don't worry, no one will touch your cub."

But after knowing that Lanlan had given birth to a cub, Lu Jin found the stock in the space in the morning, and cooked a pot of milky white fish soup for Lanlan, who was a first-time mother. Smelling the smell of fish, she entered the kitchen, meowed at his feet, and teased him with her tail, trying to please him.

Lu Jin would not be angry with a mother cat who was protecting the cubs. After cooking the fish soup, put it in the water to let it warm for a while, then poured the fish soup out into the cat's nest outside. He started eating with his head bent, without even giving him a look.

When the three children at home woke up, they were very happy to see the three extra kittens in the cat litter, but Lu Jin repeatedly reminded the children that they were only allowed to see but not to touch.

Even so, Lu Qinglian, Chenchen, and Xiao Baoer all surrounded the cat's nest and refused to leave until the big cat came back after eating, and jumped back into the nest to nurse the kittens. His eyes widened.

Lu Jin: "..." In the end, he could only helplessly shake his head and smile.

***

In the first ten days of July, the various brigades in the countryside began to collect grain, and the autumn harvest in their villages also officially started. At this time, everyone in the village, whether adults or children, who can work in the fields must go to help collect grain.The school is closed, and the students have to go to work.

Lu Jin works in the tofu shop every day, and the two older children of the family go to work with the younger students in the class, and his grandfather brings the young Bao'er at home.

Everyone is busy at the moment, and Mrs. Qin is also going to organize work in the field. The two brothers, Da Mao and Er Mao, are unattended, and it happens that his grandfather doesn't have to go to work, so he asks his sister-in-law Xiumei to send the two children too. to their house.With his grandfather helping to watch, they don't have to take their children to work, and they have to be distracted to watch the children while working.

Yu Wenchang wanted to work, but he was not from Lujia Village. He didn’t get any work points when he went to work in the fields. burden.

The autumn harvest lasted for half a month, and the two children in their family went to work in the fields every day. After half a month, they were all tanned, especially Chenchen, whose skin was so dark. Almost invisible at night with the lights off.

The elder sister is better, the elder sister's skin is fair, no matter how tanned, it is fairer than the younger brother.

"Now the whitest person in our family is Xiaobao." Lu Jin himself will go to the team to help with work in the afternoon. The sun in the afternoon is not so strong, and he doesn't get much sun, but he goes in and out every day. After basking in the sun, my fair skin has also turned into dark skin this year.

At the end of the autumn harvest, he found that the whitest person in the family was Xiao Bao'er. The white and tender balls were like eggs that had been peeled off their shells. It was a water spirit. He couldn't hold back and hugged her for a kiss Several mouthfuls.

"Hee hee~" Little Bao'er laughed happily when she heard that she had been praised.

Aimi's elder sister stretched out her arms to compare with her younger brother's, covered her face and groaned, she is so dark!

When Chenchen heard his brother say that he couldn't see him without turning on the lights at night, he wasn't angry at all. Instead, he laughed happily and said, "When the lights are turned on at night, I'll hide in the house to scare you that you won't find me." Hahaha……"

Lu Jin: "..." You silly boy!

Grandpa laughed too.

However, seeing the two children come back from working in the field for half a month, not only tanned, but also thinner, Lu Jin, the older brother, still feels distressed, and during this period of time because of the tofu shop He is also busy, he doesn't take much care of his family, and the food is much worse.

On the day when the new grain was released, many people in the village cooked new rice in their homes, and their families also cooked new rice. The rice cooked in June was fragrant and soft. Before the lid was lifted, the whole kitchen It's all rice flavored.

Lu Jin also fried a few special dishes, which were stewed, stewed, and deep-fried, which made the three children in the family eat their mouths full of oil, and even the grandfather drank two small glasses of wine during the meal, After drinking, grandpa happily hummed a little song to them, making the children dance along with joy, and there was constant laughter in the yard.

Murong Zhende and Qi Yu, who lived in the next yard, often heard the laughter coming from the next yard. They seemed to be infected, and they were in a good mood.

Murong Zhende also went to work in the fields. This year's autumn harvest, their family also received new food. They cooked porridge and side dishes, and the neighbor next door brought them a bowl of vegetables with meat in it.The two set up a small table outside the yard, sat and ate together facing each other, and could see each other as soon as they looked up.
