60s Splendid Life

This year passed quickly, and they were ready to go out as soon as the Lantern Festival was over.

After they left, they didn't know when they would be able to come back. Lu Jin had to temporarily resign from the job at the tofu shop.Otherwise, when they come back, if the tofu shop invites new people, he can't let others go, so give him the position, right?So he brought up this matter on his own initiative, and it is better for others to bring it up.

However, their captain did not agree to his resignation, saying that he would reserve the position for him, and he would continue to work in the tofu shop whenever he came back.Several apprentices he brought out also said that when he came back, they still remembered him as a master.

It's just that regarding their departure, Lu Jin doesn't know when they will come back.

They bought train tickets for the [-]th day of the first lunar month, and their uncle drove over early in the morning to pick them up at the train station.

There are a lot of things to pack when going out for a long trip, such as food and clothing, Lu Jin secretly put some things in the space, but his hands should not be empty, otherwise he is afraid of arousing his grandfather's suspicion, so there are some things Still have to bring it.This time grandpa went with them, but the two children refused to go to uncle's and stayed at home until they came back.

After the new year, my sister is ten years old and Chenchen is nine years old. The two children can eat and sleep without any problems. My sister can also cook, so it should not be a problem to stay at home.

Seeing that the two children wanted to stay at home and wait for them, Lu Jin had no choice but to ask two elders who lived in the same courtyard with them, as well as Mrs. Qin and Xiumei's sister-in-law to help him look after the two children.And his uncle would come to see the two children if he had time, so it shouldn't be a big problem to keep the two children at home.

"Brother is going to take Xiaobao and grandpa out together. Is it really okay for you to stay at home?" Before going out, Lu Jin confirmed this to his sister and Chenchen again.

"Brother yes, you and grandpa can take younger brother to see a doctor. Chenchen and I will wait at home for you to come back." The elder sister touched the younger brother's face, very reluctant to let brother and grandpa leave, but she also knew that they couldn't follow along.The siblings kissed each other twice, and the little girl said to her brother: "Brother, you go to heal Xiaobao's feet this time. From now on, my brother can run and jump like us. Chenchen and I will take my brother there in the future." Go to school." They also hope that their younger brother's feet will be healed, just like theirs.

"Okay, you also have to be good at home. If there is anything you and your brother can't handle, just ask Uncle Rong, Aunt Qin and Auntie Qin to help you. Be careful when you go to the well to fetch water. Go to the river to play, go home after school, don't go outside, you can invite your classmates to come and play at home, but try not to disturb others at your classmates' home." What Lu Jin is most worried about is the safety of the children at home.

"Well, brother, we know." Every time my brother went out, he would explain these words to them, and Lu Qinglian could recite them by herself.

Knowing that Lu Jin and Yu Wenchang were going out today, Murong Zhende and Qi Yu also came out to see them off, reassuring them that they would help take care of the two young ones at home.

Aunt Qin and Wang Xiumei also came to Lu Jin to see them off.Aunt Qin reassured Lu Jin, "Don't worry, with us here, Xiaolian and Chenchen are fine staying at home. Your sister-in-law and I will come and see them when we are free."

"Okay, thank you, auntie and sisters-in-law." Lu Jin thanked his auntie Qin and sister-in-laws. His uncle had already lifted the big bag into the car. When he went out, he held Xiao Baoer, and His uncle went out together and walked to the entrance of the alley.

There was a jeep parked here at the entrance of the alley, which was driven by their uncle. There was still a long way to go from their village to the city, and they might not be able to catch up with a motorcycle.

"Grandpa, you and Xiaobao sit in the back, I'll sit in the front." Opened the car door, put the child inside and sat down, let his grandpa sit in the back, he went around the rear of the car, opened the door on the other side and sat in , and waved to the person who saw them off outside: "Second sister, Chenchen, you have to be obedient at home, and wait for brother and grandpa to come back."

"Yeah." Lu Qinglian held her mouth shut and held back her tears.

Chenchen was already crying, crying and shouting: "Brother, you need to come back soon."

"Okay." Lu Jin's eyes were also a little red.

When his uncle got into the car, the car drove away.

Lu Jin waved to the people outside the car, and the car drove away until he could no longer see the people behind them.

Seeing the car leave, the siblings Lu Qinglian and Lu Haochen who were behind were crying and coaxed by adults to go home.

Until the brothers and sisters could no longer be seen, the little Baoer who was sitting in the car had red eyes and kept her mouth shut.Yu Wenchang hugged his little grandson into his arms, patted his back and coaxed him: "Don't cry, don't cry, we'll be back soon."

Little Bao'er pouted, still a little unhappy, he missed his brother and sister...

***

They had to go to the city by train, and there was still a long way to go from their village to the city. They set off early in the morning and didn't arrive in the city until about noon.

This is the first time Lu Jin has come to their city. From the car window, you can see that there are many low-rise houses outside, which are not as prosperous as the rural towns on the [-]th line of later generations, but the pedestrians and cars on the road are more prosperous than them. There are more small towns.Looking at this poor little city in front of me, it is hard to imagine that this piece of land will be full of high-rise buildings and become a bustling bustling city in a few decades.

"Aren't you hungry? Let's go to the restaurant for a meal. Your ticket is for the train at 02:30 in the afternoon. There is still time. It's enough for us to have a meal." Yu Jun glanced at the watch on his wrist. Watch, it's almost twelve o'clock, just in time for lunch.

"Yes." Lu Jin didn't object to this, knowing that they would only be able to eat dry food and pancakes when they got on the train, and he didn't know if the food on the train was good these days, so it's natural to be able to eat a good meal now ok.

Yu Jun was familiar with driving the car. He had been to the city several times with the leader to handle errands before, so he knew where the restaurants on this side of the city were.

At this time, only state-owned restaurants were open for business, and noon happened to be the time for eating. When they arrived, there were quite a lot of people eating in the restaurant.Fortunately, there was still room inside. Yu Jun took his father and two nephews into the restaurant and found a table and sat down. Someone came to ask them what they wanted to order.

"What do you want to eat?" Yu Jun asked his father and nephews.

"It's all right." Lu Jin had eaten a lot of meat during the Chinese New Year, so Lu Jin asked his uncle to order a few bowls of beef noodles and two stir-fried vegetables.

They ate at the restaurant at noon, and when they got to the train station, they could just catch up with the departure time.

"Call me if you need anything over there." Yu Jun's unit has a phone, and he left the phone to his nephew, and also sent a letter to his nephew, "If you are over there If you need anything, just take this letter with the address on it, and go to a friend of mine over there, and he will help you."

"Okay, thank you uncle." Lu Jin stuffed the envelope into his pocket, and saw that the train behind him had already arrived, and it was the truck they were going to take. Everyone was rushing to get on the train, and they had to hurry up. , and said to the uncle who sent them here: "Uncle, you can just send us here, we are getting on the bus."

"Okay, go up. When you come back, give me a call or send a telegram. I'll pick you up at the station." Yu Jun was not at ease. It's good to ask for leave, in fact, he wants to go with his father and nephew.

It would be good for him to ask for leave if he went for three to five days, but it would take a long time, and he couldn't go away, so he could only let his father and two nephews go together.

"Okay, uncle, you don't have to worry about us. We will write you a letter when we get there smoothly." Lu Jin knew that his uncle's work was of a special nature and he couldn't leave, but he felt that he and his grandfather would take him with him. It's okay for Xiao Baoer to go, there is no need for another person to follow.

Yu Jun explained a few more words to his father, and then let his father and nephew get into the car.

"Goodbye, uncle." Lu Jin said goodbye to his uncle, and also let the child in his arms say goodbye to his uncle, then hugged the child and took his grandfather to squeeze the bus.Find their location with the ticket, the ticket was bought for them by their uncle, the ticket for the sleeper berth.

It is very difficult to buy train tickets these days, let alone sleeper tickets. It was their uncle who bought them for them from the work unit to get two sleeper tickets.

Fortunately, the two tickets are connected together, a lower berth and a middle berth.

"Grandpa, you and Xiaobao sleep on the lower bunk at night, and I sleep on it." Compared with the hard seats in front, the sleeper here is slightly more spacious. When they came, there were only three of them, grandpa and grandson, and there were no other seats. people.Lu Jin put things in their own place and didn't take up other people's space.

"Okay." Yu Wenchang sat on the lower bunk with his little grandson in his arms. When he was young, he had traveled a long way, and he had been on a train and a boat, so he didn't feel too strange about taking a train.

On the other hand, Xiao Baoer, who was riding the train for the first time, looked around curiously with her round eyes from the moment she got on the train.

"Xiaobao, look, uncle is still watching us outside." Lu Jin looked up after packing up his things, and saw their uncle standing outside the train. He opened the window and called out to his uncle loudly.

Little Bao'er followed her brother and shouted, "Uncle!"

Yu Wenchang waved to his son and told him to go back.

"Woo-woo-"

A long siren sounded, and the wheels of the train began to turn.

"The train is about to leave, let's close the windows." The wind outside was quite cold, Lu Jin hugged the child lying on the window, closed the window, and waved to the uncle who was still standing outside wave.

The uncle outside was also waving at them, shouting something to them.

Lu Jin saw clearly the shape of his uncle's mouth, and what he said was to keep them safe.

The train started to go away, faster and faster, and the distance between the uncle who sent them off and their hometown was getting farther and farther...
