60s Splendid Life

Seeing a woman coming out of the house with something, Lu Jin reached out and knocked on the door, and asked aloud, "Hi aunt, is the captain at home? I have something to do with him."

"Here, in the house." The woman was Qin Shi, the wife of the brigade captain, a tall and thin woman.Mrs. Qin recognized the children as grandchildren of Lu Laogen's family. She knew something about Lu Laogen's family. Seeing that the young man brought several younger brothers and sisters to their house, maybe there was something wrong. .

Seeing a few children still standing at the door and not coming in, Qin yelled: "Come in, don't stand outside the door."

"Thank you ma'am."

"You're welcome, come in the house, there are people in the house."

Hearing this, Lu Jincai walked in with his three younger brothers and sisters, and followed the woman into the house.As soon as I walked in, I saw a man sitting in the lobby, and knew that this was the captain of their village.

Lu Dequan is the captain of the brigade in Lujia Village. He is in his fifties, with a Chinese character face, graying hair on his temples, and a tanned face from years of work. His serious face gives people a very serious impression.Just now when he was in the house, he heard voices from outside, and when he saw his wife coming in with a few children, he asked in a softer voice, "What's the matter with you coming to see me?"

The woman entered the house with a few children, then turned around and went out to work outside.

"Hello, captain." Lu Jin said hello first, and then asked a few children to say hello uncle.

Lu Dequan looked at the fair-looking children. The children in the village were not so polite when they saw people. He immediately had a better impression of these children. He pointed to the empty chair next to him and said, "Sit down. Come on, don't stand there."

"It's okay, we can just stand." Lu Jin thought about just a few words, and then went back without sitting down to talk.

Seeing that the other party insisted that they sit, he took a few younger brothers and sisters and sat down on the empty seats next to him, explaining why they came here today, to ask the captain to help find some people to help them repair the roof. Repair, so that in the coming rainy season, the place where they live will not be able to live due to rain leakage.

"That's no problem. I'll call a few people to help you fix the roof in a while." At this time, the village captain is equivalent to their village chief, and he is in charge of the captains of several small production teams in the village and the whole family. For the affairs of the village, it is not too difficult to find a few people to help a few children repair their houses, and Captain Lu immediately agreed.

As the captain of the brigade, Lu Dequan knew all the big and small things that happened in their village, so he naturally knew that these children moved out after returning to their grandparents' homes after their parents died. The house where the child lives now is arranged by him.At the time of the arrangement, he thought that the children would go home after staying for a few days, but he didn’t expect that the children would stay there all the time, and now they still come to him to find someone to help repair the house. It seems that they still plan to live there all the time. up?

I saw a few children, the older one was only in their teens, and the younger one seemed to have a little inconvenient foot, because he was carried in by the teenager just now.Captain Lu still asked with concern, "Are you planning to live there forever?"

"Well, I want to live there for the time being." Lu Jin's words meant that he didn't want to live in that dilapidated house forever. If there was a better place to live in the future, he would take his younger brothers and sisters to live in another place. .

However, Captain Lu thought that they still wanted to go back to their grandparents' house, after all, it was their own home.He also knew about the daughter-in-law of Lu Laogen's family. He knew that if the children went home, Mrs. Lu would definitely embarrass them.

Captain Lu thought that the children were afraid of their grandma's disapproval, so they dared not go home and live there, so he said, "Why don't I go and tell your grandparents that you should move back home. After all, it is a family, if there is any unpleasant thing, the past is over, so don't keep it in your heart."

Lu Jin heard the captain's intention to persuade them to go back to their grandparents' house. Now that they have all come out, he naturally doesn't want to bring his younger brothers and sisters back to be tortured by Mrs. Lu and bullied by other brothers and sisters. And they lived freely outside, so it was even more impossible for him to want to go back.Of course, he couldn't say that. He had to find a better-sounding excuse for them to come out.

After thinking about how to speak smoothly, Lu Jin said slowly: "It's not that we don't want to go back, it's really... There are four of us brothers and sisters. Qinglian and Chenchen are still young and can't do much work."

"Also, Xiaobao's legs are not good, and he still can't walk. I want to take him to the hospital in the town to have a look. It will cost money." As far as he knew Mrs. Lu, that stingy It's strange that the old lady would be willing to take money to let him take their little treasure to see a doctor!

"Grandpa and grandma are too old now, they can't do much work, and uncles and aunts are not married. Uncles and uncles have many children of their own. When we brothers and sisters go back, we will give them to uncles and uncles. They increase the burden and make their already difficult life even more difficult ... We can't go back and burden them and make their life difficult."

I have to say that the young man's words were heard in Captain Lu's ears, which immediately changed his impression of the young man. Before seeing the young man having a quarrel with the elders in the family, he would take a few of them with him without hesitation. When the younger brothers and sisters left home, he thought in his heart that this child was ignorant, but now that he heard it, he realized that he had taken it for granted and misunderstood this child.Listen to this, what a sensible child!

"Hey, you child, how can you think so? You are a family. If you have any difficulties, the family can find a solution together. Isn't it better than you children running out like this?" Captain Lu still felt that the children ran out. Outside, it is difficult to support themselves, so I want to persuade them to go home and live with the adults.

Lu Jin lowered his head silently, his pale face made people feel that the child was pitiful.

Seeing her brother's sad appearance, Qing Lian sobbed, "Uncle, we won't go back, grandparents are going to sell us, we can't go back..."

"Wow... bad auntie, you want to sell Chenchen... Chenchen won't leave, Chenchen wants to be with brother" Chenchen grabbed her brother's hand in fear, and burst into tears.Even Little Treasure began to cry, and the ups and downs of crying from several brothers and sisters suddenly sounded in the room, which made people feel sad when they heard it.

"What's going on, why are you still crying?"

Qin Shi who was outside heard the cries of children coming from the house. She was standing outside and heard the voices of several children talking just now. She knew that the children who would run out were forced by the family to have no way to escape. At this moment, I heard several children crying so pitifully, I couldn't help but ran into the house from outside, hugged the two children and coaxed: "Don't cry, don't cry, good boy, don't cry..."

"Wow..." After being comforted in this way, the two little guys cried even louder.

Qin shi coaxed herself to cry, and said to their family members while shedding tears: "Old Lu, don't force the children to go back. Listen, Lu Laogen is doing something to his wife." Is it all about personnel matters? I heard that the daughter-in-law of Lu Laogen's family wanted to send the little girl to Chenjia Village in the next village to be a child bride for a fool, and the brothers and sisters ran out. Jianmao's child used to be more Filial piety, the husband and wife both work in the city, and every time they come back, they don’t bring big bags and small bags home. The old lady Lu is kind, her son and daughter-in-law died not long ago, and they are eager to sell their grandchildren.”

"What age is it now? In the most difficult years in our village, there was no family that sold children or daughters. Their Lu Laogen's family is good. It's not hard to live, so they sell their grandchildren... He, Mr. Lu The Gen family is shameless, we people in Lujia Village have to be human!"

Captain Lu naturally knew about this, and when he thought of the good deeds that Lu Laogen's wife had done, he, the captain, felt ashamed.

Lu Jin wanted to applaud Aunt Qin's profound and righteous words in his heart, but he also knew that this era is still an era where the word "filial piety" crushes people to death. Others can say that their parents are wrong, but They themselves cannot say so.Seeing that the aunt was crying because of their brothers and sisters, he told the aunt not to be sad. Despite being wronged, he still said with a "sensible" face: "We are dragging down the family, it is our fault..."

"Children, it's not your fault. You are very good, very good, you are all good children." Qin hugged the two children who were sobbing in the words, and her eyes were red from crying.

Lu Jin coaxed the baby in his arms from crying, wiped away the snot and tears of the baby, and then wiped away the tears of the other two little guys, so that the little guys and Aunt Qin stopped crying, Only then did he say to the captain: "Today, I came to see you, captain, and I would like to ask, if we want to separate the family and move out the household registration and set up an independent household, is it possible?" Li knew that the original household registrations of their brothers and sisters were with their parents in the city. After their parents passed away, their household registrations were transferred from the city to the village, and fell to the old house of the Lu family.

In this era, household registration is a very important thing. Where is their household registration, their food vouchers will follow. In the future, they will need to do anything when they go out, and even check their household registration when they go out. So they If their household registrations are in the Lu family's old house, it means that the future of their brothers and sisters is in the hands of Mrs. Lu. Only when the household registrations are obtained can they be truly free.

"You want to separate, I'm afraid it's not an easy thing..."

Looking at the four poor children, and seeing the eyes cast by their wives, Captain Lu turned a corner and quickly changed his words: "Okay, it's good for you to separate, I'll go and talk to you about this matter." Discuss with your grandpa."

Lu Jin got up quickly, bowed and thanked: "Thank you, Captain."

"Thank you uncle." The two children Qinglian and Chenchen followed their elder brother and bowed.

"Hey, get up, get up, you children, you have so many rules at such a young age." Aunt Qin hurriedly pulled the children up, and lovingly touched the little girl's face again, this little girl She is so pretty, if not for the fact that the sons of their family are already married and the grandson is too young, she would have wanted to bring this little girl into their home.

Lu Qinglian pursed her lips and smiled at the aunt who touched her face, her big eyes seemed to be able to talk.
