60s Splendid Life

"You are eating tofu flowers here. I'll go to the kitchen to clean up and see what I can cook for you at noon." Lu Jin poured out the tofu flowers he bought into a big bowl, and gave Shen two small bowls. Brothers Yu and Shen Xing each packed a bowl to eat, and were going to the kitchen to pack up.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Shen Yu asked.

"I won't eat it, you can eat it, I often eat this in the village." This Lu Jin did not lie, he used to like to eat tofu flower, maybe because he ate too much, so now he is interested in these things It's lacking, but he saw that Shen Xing's little girl likes to eat it very much, and a bowl of tofu flower can be finished as soon as he sees it, "Don't eat too much, save your stomach for lunch." After saying that, he went out.

The sun was bright in the morning, and the geese at home stayed obediently and slept on their stomachs under the courtyard wall.

In the kitchen, Lu Jin filled a basin with some water, grabbed a handful of mushrooms and fungus, poured them in to soak, then took another basket out, went into the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, and soon brought a basket The dishes went into the kitchen.

Shen Yu stood at the door of the kitchen with two empty bowls, and asked, "Where do you wash this?"

"Put it here first, let's wash it later." There were vegetables in the basin, and there was no place to wash the dishes. Lu Jin reached out to take the bowl and put it on the counter, ready to wash it later.The bowl in his hand was taken away, but Shen Yu didn't walk away, he was still standing beside Lu Jin, looking at the busy people, and asked, "What else do you need to do, let me help too."

"Where's Shen Xing? You can play with him in the house. Grandpa and the others will be back later." Lu Jin looked out the window, but couldn't see the child in the house.

"He's playing with the cat, don't need me." Shen Yu didn't intend to leave.

"Okay, then help me wash this dish of vegetables." Lu Jin didn't refuse, smiled, stepped aside, and asked Shen Yu to help him wash the vegetables.

The two stood side by side in front of the table. Lu Jin was cutting the meat with a kitchen knife. The two of them were doing their work quietly. The corner of his eyes fell on Shen Yu's face. He knew very early on that Shen Yu was very handsome. Well, the young man has a straight nose, thin lips, well-shaped eyebrows, long and narrow eyes, not very double eyelids, only a little double at the end of the eyes, but the eyes do not look too small. The combination of such facial features, but It's just right, very good-looking.

Lu Jin remembered the dream he had that day, and felt a little guilty for no reason.

Shen Yu had long felt that the people next to him were staring at him, so he just let people look at him silently, "Be careful!" But he suddenly noticed that the knife in the young man's hand almost missed his fingers, and he hurriedly grabbed it. He took the boy's hand and yelled.

"..." Lu Jin himself was frightened into a cold sweat.

"What are you thinking? The knife is about to cut your fingers, didn't you notice?" Shen Yu looked at Lu Jin with a bit of reproach in his eyes, blaming the man for not concentrating on his work with the knife in his hand, what if all his fingers were on it? !

"I..." Lu Jin opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but didn't know what to say.

"I'll come, you wash the vegetables." Shen Yu was really worried, so he had to pull Lu Jin over to his side, and he switched to the chopping board.Lu Jin rubbed his nose with the back of his hand and didn't dare to resist anymore, "I'll give you the apron." Fearing that Shen Yu's cut meat would splash on his white clothes, he washed his hands and took off the apron he was wearing to give it to Shen Yu. meet.

But at this moment, Shen Yu was cutting something in his hand, so he motioned to Lu Jin to help him put it on, "You put it on for me."

Lu Jin had no choice but to wrap the apron around Shen Yu's waist, as if he had reached out to hug this person, which made his face a little red, and his hands were a little unsteady, pulling the two ropes around Shen Yu's waist A knot was tied, and the posture of the two of them was too close, so close that he could smell the scent of soap on Shen Yu's clothes, just like what he smelled when he was lying on Shen Yu's bed and sleeping that day.

Probably because he had a ghost in his heart, he put the apron on for Shen Yu, and he hurried away and went back to the other side to wash the vegetables.

Just as they were cooking in the kitchen, the door outside the yard was pushed open from the outside.

"Hey, why is the door open? Has anyone come back?" Grandpa's voice asked from outside, obviously the door was locked when they left, and there was a bicycle parked in the yard?Who came to their house?

"Grandpa is my brother back!" Lu Haochen was the first to run back home and saw his brother cooking in the kitchen.

Shen Xing, who was in the room, heard the sound and ran out, laughed and rushed towards Lu Haochen, asking his best friend if he still remembered him.Lu Haochen was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Shen Xing's hand, babbled, and shouted, "Shen Xing? Why are you at our house?"

"My brother and I came together." Shen Xing pointed in the direction of the kitchen and said proudly.

Lu Jin, who was in the kitchen, heard the sound of his family coming back, stood at the door of the kitchen, looked at the returning grandpa and children, and shouted, "Grandpa, you are back, where have you been?"

"We went to the field to plant peanuts." Yu Wenchang was still carrying a few small kettles in his hand, and the small kettles jingled all the way back.The three older granddaughters went to work in the brigade, and he took his younger grandson with him. When he saw the grandchildren working, he also went to help with the younger grandson. Their work points were counted to several granddaughters go there.

"It turns out that there are guests at home. I just said why there is a bicycle at our house. It turns out that Xiaoyu and Xiaoxing are here." Yu Wenchang is no stranger to the two Shen brothers.They stayed at the Shen family in Shanghai for such a long time before. Yu Wenchang knew that his little grandson was able to be hospitalized and underwent surgery so smoothly, and it was also thanks to the help of the Shen family, so he was very grateful to the Shen family. He naturally welcomes Shen Xing and Shen Yu as guests at their home.

Shen Yu, who was following Lu Jin, saw Grandpa Yu and the others coming back, and called out "Grandpa."

A few children outside met, and soon started laughing and laughing. Shen Xing ran back to the house to find his little schoolbag, and took out gifts for his older brothers, sisters and younger brothers from the schoolbag. They were all small toys. and goodies.

With delicious food, several children all played together.

Lu Qinglian went to the kitchen to help her brother, but the brother said that she was not needed and asked her to play with the younger brothers.Seeing that her brother really didn't need her, she went into the house to play with her younger brothers, and went to watch a few younger brothers by the way.

Not long after Grandpa and the others came back, Murong Zhende and Qi Yu also came back from outside.

The kitchen was already cooking, and Lu Jin called for someone to clear the table and prepare for dinner.

The lunch dishes were relatively simple. Shen Yu asked for mapo tofu by name, fried a bacon and garlic sprouts, fried a pot of eggs, boiled a winter melon soup, and made two cold dishes. The bacon rice in a large pot is covered with a layer of bacon, sprinkled with a handful of sesame seeds, and mixed with some soy sauce and sesame oil. It tastes very fragrant.

With such a big pot of rice, if one person eats two bowls, one pot of rice will bottom out.The rice sticking to the bottom of the pot was burnt yellow, like rice crust, and several children in the family were rushing to get it.

"Brother, I want it, brother, I want it."

"Okay, you all have them."

Lu Jin shoveled out the rice from the bottom of the pot, divided a piece among the children, and put a small piece in Shen Yu's bowl.Facing Shen Yu's stare, he grinned, "Eat it, it's delicious." He remembered that when he was in the orphanage in his previous life, he liked to eat scorched rice under the pot, rolled into rice balls, but Fragrant.

"It's delicious." Young Master Shen has never eaten the burnt rice at the bottom of the pot, but he doesn't know whether this piece of burnt rice was given to him by someone he likes, or because the taste is really good, and he thinks it's not bad.

"It's fine if you like it. You can also make claypot rice when you go back. It's simple, convenient and delicious. You see, Shen Xing ate two bowls of rice." Lu Jin glanced at the children who were gnawing on rice crusts, and felt that their family This group of youngsters is really easy to feed, but there are a little too many people, and every time they cook, there is not enough to eat. It really is half a child who eats his poor brother!

"Okay." Shen Yu nodded. He was helping in the kitchen just now, and he saw how Lu Jin cooked the food. He can try it when he goes back.

After lunch, Lu Jin asked the children in the family to clean up the dishes and wash them, and he made tea in the house to drink with Shen Yu and his grandfather.

At noon, the boys in the family all climbed up to take a nap, and slept in a row in a row.Their little girl went to sleep in her own room next door.Grandpa sat with them for a while, and when he was so sleepy, he climbed up the kang and slept with the children.

Shen Yu refused to sleep, so Lu Jin could only sit with him at the door and talk.

Because there were guests at home, Lu Jin didn't go to the factory so early in the afternoon, but stayed at home to accompany the guests. The group of children and grandpa hadn't woken up from the bed.After the little girl in their family woke up, she wore a little straw hat and went out with a small kettle.

"Where is she going?" Shen Yu asked.

"Go to work in the brigade. If she wants to go, I'll let her go." Lu Jin replied.When the little girl in the family got older, she wanted to work and help the family, so he didn't stop her from doing so.

Shen Yu let out an oh, and he understood, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was not so bright, and the children and grandpa woke up.Shen Yu was going to take his brother home, but Shen Xing refused to go with his brother, and wanted to stay at his brother Xiaojin's house to play.

"If you do this again, I won't take you out next time." Shen Yu looked at his crying brother and said with a grim expression.

"Woo..." Shen Xing wiped away tears with the back of his hand, carried his little schoolbag on his back sobbing, and after saying goodbye to Chenchen and Xiaobaodandan, he still didn't forget to say goodbye to his grandpa. Follow his brother back home.

"Shen Yu, why don't you let Shen Xing stay at our house, and I'll send him back tomorrow." Lu Jin really couldn't bear to see the child who clearly wanted to stay, but was forced to follow by his brother's lust My brother looked aggrieved when he went back.

"It's too troublesome." Shen Yu glanced at the younger brother who left him with a head on top, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

"No trouble, doesn't he have to go to school tomorrow? Let him play with me for one more day. Brother Bocheng will go to the town to deliver things tomorrow morning. I will ask Brother Bocheng to bring him back to you." Lu Jin reached out and touched He touched the child's head and discussed with Shen Yu.

Upon hearing his brother Xiao Jin's words, Shen Xing looked at his brother hopefully, hoping that his brother would agree.

Shen Yu thought about it, and finally agreed, "...All right."
