60s Splendid Life

If there is anything good about the Shanghai stock market, it is probably the flexibility and convenience. You can take a car when you go out. The supply and marketing cooperatives have more things than their small town supply and marketing cooperatives in the countryside. Some things that are difficult to buy in the countryside can be bought here. Money can buy it.

Lu Jin bought a few packs of candy and some clothes and shoes with the tickets he bought from the black market and sent them back to the countryside to give to his brothers and sisters in the countryside.

At this time, the countryside is experiencing the annual autumn harvest.

The primary school in the village was closed, so Lu Qinglian and Lu Haochen didn't have to go to school anymore. Every morning, the siblings had breakfast with their two uncles who lived in the same yard, and then went out to work. Earn work points.

They used to be small children in the village, but now they are big children in the village, with a group of children younger than them behind them, picking peanuts and millet after the adults, and breaking corn and picking peanuts with the adults at night .But let alone, her ten-year-old sister, Lu Qinglian, is no slower than the hardworking women in the village. The little girl can quickly catch the peanuts and corn she picked all night. There are women who work hard in the village.

After half a month of autumn harvest, both siblings have lost weight and their skin has become much tanned.This year without their elder brother at home, the siblings did not earn very many work points, but when the work points they earned were converted into food and brought home, the siblings were still very happy, it was earned by themselves !

"Sister, look what I caught for you." A shirtless boy ran back from outside, carrying a basket in his hand. He didn't know whether it was sweat or water, and his hair was wet. Recently tanned and tanned, he came back home from the outside like a monkey.

"What?" Lu Qinglian was helping her younger brother to sew his torn pants at home. Seeing that his younger brother came back with fish in the water, he looked for a stick everywhere, and when he found a stick, he beat his younger brother, "Lu Haochen, you ran into the river again Did you catch fish? Didn’t brother tell us not to go into the river, so you won’t listen, let’s see if I don’t beat you to death!”

"Aiyoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa who... please stop beating, listen to me, I did not go alone, I went with the big brother and the second cousin, ouch!... You are still not my real sister!" Always hit him!Lu Haochen ran around his sister, but was beaten twice by his tough sister, the pain was so painful that his tears almost didn't come out.

"I'm your own sister, so I don't care about you. That's not okay, brother said that you can't go to the river to catch fish. If you don't listen, I will tell uncle, let uncle tell brother!" Lu Qinglian threw the stick and hummed One sound, if you are disobedient, I will tell uncle to go.

"...Sister, don't tell uncle. Okay, okay, sister, I know I was wrong. Next time I don't go to the river to catch fish, can't it be okay?" If you say that Lu Hao is not afraid of anything, the most fearful thing is the two. Brother and sister, now that his brother is not at home, his sister is watching over him every day, but he is really afraid that his sister will tell his uncle and brother what he did at home.

"And you only scored 59 points in mathematics and 40 points in Chinese in the final exam!" Since his brother was not at home, this brother really let himself go. He didn't even do well in class, and ran out without doing homework when he came back Play and fail the exam!Lu Qinglian looked at the stick on the ground, feeling a little itchy, and wanted to pick it up and continue beating the younger brother.

"Sister, can we stop talking about such unpleasant things? I promise you that I will pass the exam next time." When it comes to studying, Lu Haochen scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, really afraid of his brother When he comes back and finds out that he failed the exam, he will be punished, so now that his brother is not at home, can he still enjoy himself for a few days?

Lu Haochen smiled flatteringly at his sister, handed over the basket, and asked tentatively, "Sister, should we still eat this fish?"

Lu Qinglian glared at this disobedient younger brother, gritted her teeth and said, "Eat, why don't you eat it!" After catching them all, why don't you take them out and throw them away if you don't eat them?

"Hey, I knew you would want it. Sister, let's make fish soup tonight and add two more pieces of tofu. I like tofu." When he heard his sister asked for fish, Lu Haochen hurriedly put it in the basket. He poured out the fish into the wooden barrel, scooped two spoonfuls of water into it from the water tank, and the fish in it was still moving. He pestered his sister and asked, "Sister, can we have sausage rice at night? I want to eat it." Sausage rice, put two eggs on top."

If you want to say what is the most delicious, of course it is two eggs on top of the sausage rice.

They have a hen at home, and they eat most of the eggs they lay. The goose at home also lays eggs. The goose eggs are really big, but goose eggs are not as delicious as eggs. Lu Haochen still likes them Eat eggs, save goose eggs to hatch goslings.There were originally four hatched gosling cubs in the family. Someone brought something to their house and said they wanted to exchange their gosling cubs. The two sisters discussed it and exchanged two for others. There are two left.

The cat at home gave birth to two more litters, and the people in the village came to take a few of them to raise. There are two little ones left in the house. Adding the original two, they now have four cats in their house, so now Not to mention that there are no mice in their house, there are even no mice in the nearby houses.

But if there are too many cats, they need to eat, and cats love to eat fish. That's why Lu Haochen asked his cousin to take him to the river to catch fish. After catching fish, they can eat it, and they can also feed it to the cat.

"You really ask for a lot!" Lu Qinglian stretched her head to look at the fish in the bucket. Seeing that the fish was still alive, it wouldn't smell bad if she cooked it at night.

Lu Haochen touched his stomach, isn't that hungry?Blame him?

"Meow~" A big cat and two kittens ran out from nowhere, and the three cats put their paws on the barrel, staring at the fish in the barrel and meowed. The one still stretching out its claws to hook the fish in the bucket.

Lu Qinglian slapped the cats away with a slap, and found a basket to cover it to prevent the cats from stealing and eating the fish, "You can't eat it yet."

It wasn't until the end of August that the siblings received the package from the postman. This is not the first time they have received something from their elder brother. In the past two months, their elder brother sent it to them once. something back.Lu Qinglian, who was already in the third grade, recognized that the sender wrote her brother's name, signed the form, and got their package.

When the people in the village saw that Lu Qinglian had received such a big package again, someone asked with a smile, "Your brother sent you something again? What is it in such a big package?"

"I heard that your elder brother took your younger brother to the city for treatment. Why haven't you come back for so long?"

"Yeah, I've been here for more than half a year, right? Let me tell you, how can this birth defect be cured? Why spend that money? It's better to use the money to buy a piece of land in the village to build a house. In the future, both of you brothers will also be able to marry a daughter-in-law."

Everyone in the village knew that Lu Jin took his younger brother to the city to see a doctor, but it took so long to go there, and he sent things back to his siblings from time to time. It seemed that they should have a good time in the city nice?I only have money to buy things and send them back. I heard that the things in the city are very expensive. How can there be no money for eating and seeing a doctor?

Looking at the pair of siblings at home again, the older the older the elder sister, the more beautiful she is, she looks graceful, she is capable, and she has been educated and can read. It is not that there are no women in the village who have ideas for this little girl. If it wasn't for the fact that the little girl was a little younger, they would have wanted the matchmaker to come and help their son marry.

Now many new houses have been built in Lujia Village, and many older young people in the village who have not married wives have married wives. Before, no one was willing to marry women to their village. Since their village opened a brick kiln factory, they Young people in the village have become very sought after.

Lu Qinglian just smiled and didn't answer the questions from the women in the village, and took her brother home.Lu Haochen became a little angry, and on the way back he asked why his sister was pulling him.

"Do you still want to quarrel with others? Mouths grow on other people, so how can you stop them if they want to say something?" Lu Qinglian also didn't like those women in the village who liked to gossip about other people's families. Since their elder brother was not at home, they had heard a lot about their family affairs in the village, but so what, they just said what they wanted to say, and they just didn't care.

But Lu Haochen was different, he was very angry when he heard what other people said, and he wanted to reason with others.

"Brother said, Xiaobao's feet will definitely be cured. When brother brings Xiaobao back, we will beat those people's faces hard!" Of course, Lu Qinglian was also angry in her heart, but her anger was not to follow Those who talk about them reason, but wait for their elder brother to bring his younger brother back, and those who gossip about their family have nothing to say.

The siblings returned home and unpacked the package their brother had sent them. Inside were two packs of toffee and two cans of malted milk, as well as some clothes and two pairs of sandals. What surprised Lu Qinglian the most was There was also a long skirt with blue stripes on a white background. It was the first time the little girl saw such a beautiful dress, so she held the skirt and gestured on her body.

"Wow, sister, there's candy! It's still white rabbit toffee!" But younger brother Lu Haochen obviously didn't focus on these clothes and shoes. He grabbed a pack of toffee, opened it and took one out. , peeled off the candy wrapper and put it in his mouth, then peeled off another one for his sister to eat, "Eat it, sister, this candy is so sweet, so sweet, so delicious."

"Do you think my skirt is beautiful?" Lu Qinglian asked her younger brother while holding the skirt.

"Yeah, it looks good." Lu Haochen took a look at the clothes his sister was holding, and replied perfunctorily.

Lu Qinglian didn't care about her younger brother's perfunctory, carefully put away her and her younger brother's new clothes and shoes, and found that there was a letter inside, and the two siblings opened it to read the letter together.The younger brother Lu Haochen still didn't know many words, so he asked his sister to read it to him.

"I told you to study hard and you refused to listen to me. Look, you can't even understand the letter written by my brother." Although her elder sister Lu Qinglian hated her brother very much, she still read the letter to her brother.
