60s Splendid Life

After ten o'clock in the morning, the sun in the sky was getting hotter and hotter. Fortunately, each of them wore a straw hat on their heads, which could block the sun a little.

Lu Jin could only take a few children to the shade of the tree as much as possible, and stopped to rest under a tree on the way, put the child in his arms on a stone and sat on it, unscrewed the lid of the water glass, let the few The three children took turns to drink, and took out bread for them to eat one by one.

The sunlight leaked from the gaps in the leaves and hit the ground, mottled with time.

"Let's drink some water, everyone."

Lu Jin raised his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead. After walking such a short distance with an empty basket on his back and a child in his arms, it was still a bit overwhelming for his body. It seems that he will need to eat more in the future to maintain his body. You have to be strong to be able to hold their child, otherwise it will be difficult to travel far in the future.

He took the water glass that came back to him one round at a time, and raised his head to take a big gulp of water.

The brothers and sisters rested on the side of the road for a while before continuing on the road. Fortunately, they were lucky this time and met an old man driving a mule cart back to his hometown.Seeing them walking on the road, the old man stopped the car and asked them where they were going. Hearing that they were going back to Lujia Village, the old man driving the car happened to be fine, so he let them get in the car.

Sitting on the mule cart, the child who had been carried all the way by him fell asleep in his arms. Lu Jin found a small towel and covered the child's head to cover the sun, and protected the child in his arms.On the way, I chatted with the old man who drove the car, and learned that the old man lived in a village not far from theirs, a village called Lijiaao, and the old man was also surnamed Li.

Old man Li is quite talkative, and told him a lot about their village along the way.

Having a mule cart was much faster than walking, so the old man drove them back to the entrance of the village to let them down.

"Thank you Uncle Li."

"Thank you uncle."

Lu Jin came down with the child who woke up and was still a little confused, and took out fifty cents from his arms to give to the old man. The old man pushed his hand and refused to take it, so he drove away in a mule cart.

After seeing old man Li drive away in his mule cart, Lu Jin took their three children into the village.

There are a few big trees at the entrance of their village, and it is cool under the trees during the day. The old people and children in the village like to come to the village entrance to enjoy the shade, and some women in the village who have not gone to work in the fields will also come here Come here and chat with people while doing it.

Seeing Lu Jin brothers and sisters come back from the outside, some people in the village were a little surprised. After all, during this period of time, they all said that the brothers and sisters went to the town and would not come back. They didn't expect to say it. After a while, people came back.An aunt who was usually at odds with Chen Aihong looked at Chen Aihong and said, "Aihong, look at your nephews and nieces are back."

Chen Aihong looked at the little brats who came back with a slightly subtle expression. After all, she had been talking about these little brats going out and not coming back during this period of time. She didn't expect to be slapped in the face now.

"Hello ladies and aunts, how about enjoying the shade under the tree?"

"Yes, yes, you are back."

Lu Jin also noticed that Chen Aihong was there, his eyes flicked over the woman's face, he nodded to the aunts and aunts who were looking at them, and walked over with their children.

Some children in the village looked at them curiously, but no one came to talk to them.

Lu Jin didn't know that after they passed, the news that their brothers and sisters had returned to the village spread like wildfire.

**

On the day they returned to the village, they moved to the new residence arranged by Captain Lu.

The new residence was the old mansion of a landlord in the village, which was later taken over by the village brigade.This house is quite big, except for a few yards that were taken away by the brigade for common use, there are still a few empty yards in the back. Captain Lu decided to give one to his brothers and sisters to live in.

Before they came back, Captain Lu asked someone to help tidy up the yard. The brothers and sisters came back and packed up their things, so they could move in and live there.

Compared with the thatched house they used to live in that was leaking everywhere, this time they moved here to live in a green brick and tile house. Although the house has not been lived in for a long time and looks a bit old, the walls and beams look Everything is good, it looks relatively solid, don't worry about the walls will collapse in rainy days.

It seems that the weeds in the yard should be removed by someone, and the weeds and trees on the ground outside have dried up.There were no cobwebs or dust in the house, and someone should have repaired the roof for them. It seems that there should be no rain leakage in rainy days.

There is a kang in the house, and they can sleep on it at night after tidying up later.

As for the furniture and other things in the house, they need to buy them slowly in the future.

There is also a well in the yard, so it will be more convenient for them to use water in the future, but there are children in the family, so they need to find a board to cover it, so as to prevent the children from running to the well to play by the well without any accidents.Now he can't afford to lose any of his brothers and sisters.

To Lu Jin's surprise, the new residence is very close to Captain Lu's house, and going out from the back door is the back door of Captain Lu's house, so it will be very convenient for them to find Captain Lu if they have anything to do in the future.

There are three rooms and a small kitchen in the small yard, which is enough for their brother and sister to live here.There is also an earthen stove in the kitchen, where they can cook in the future. Among the things they asked for back from the old house last time, there are pots and pans, and there is no shortage of cooking things.

Looking at this place that can shelter from the wind and rain, and close the door at night to sleep peacefully, Lu Jin was still a little excited, and asked the children in their family: "We will live here from now on. , are you happy?"

"Happy!" Chenchen nodded seriously, raised her head and asked his brother, "Brother, will we really live here in the future?"

"Of course it's true. Are there any fake ones?" Lu Jin asked.

Lu Qinglian felt that as long as she was with her elder brother and younger brothers, no matter where they lived, it was their home.Only Xiao Bao'er doesn't understand these things very well, and when he arrives in a new place, he has to explore the ground.

Fortunately, the floor of the house was paved with blue bricks, so Lu Jin put the child on the ground to crawl, and took the older siblings to clean the house they were going to live in carefully again.He also arranged the things they brought over, but there was not even a table and cabinet in the house. Later, he would go to the carpenter's house in the village to ask if he could build some sets of furniture for them.

There is also the matter that the two children in the family are going to be sent to the school in the village, and I have to go to the school to ask.

I didn't find out until I came back, but I found out that there were quite a lot of things to do when I came back.

In the afternoon, the three children in the family fell asleep in the room, and Lu Jin also got on the kang and squinted his eyes for a while. He woke up after half an hour.He didn't know the time without a watch. When he went out and saw the sun set in the west, and saw the smoke rising from other people's chimneys, he knew it was time to make dinner.

After being tired for a day, he doesn't really want to cook anymore, but if he doesn't cook, the children in the family will be hungry again, and he himself can't bear it, so he can only cook.

There are some hay and firewood in the kitchen, which they took back from the yard just now.

It's just that today he didn't want to cook with an earthen stove, so he stuffed a little firewood into the stove to make a show. He went directly into the space to cook the meal, and steamed a pot of pumpkin steamed buns. The steamed buns were made a few days ago and put in the refrigerator Inside, sweet potatoes were roasted, a tofu kelp soup was cooked, and dried shrimp and scallops were also placed in it.

As soon as he came out of the space with his things, he heard a knock on the door, which made him tremble in fright. Fortunately, he closed the door just now.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Aunt Qin."

"I'm coming."

Lu Jin went to open the door, and saw a smiling woman standing at the door. It was the wife of their captain, Mrs. Qin, who stuffed them with a few buns the day they went to town, "Ma'am Come in quickly, we just came back, and we haven't had time to go to your house yet."

"It's okay, I said you're back, I'll come over here to have a look, and I'll bring you some vegetables by the way." Aunt Qin handed the vegetable basket she was carrying to Lu Jin, and followed inside, but didn't see the other few. A child asked, "Are you cooking? Where are your brothers and sisters?"

"Sleeping in the house, tired after coming back from the outside, let them sleep a little longer. Ma'am, why did you send us so many things again? How embarrassing." Lu Jin was also embarrassed when everyone else brought things over. He refused, so he went into the kitchen with the basket, took all the things down, stuffed some things they brought back from the town into the basket, found a piece of cloth to cover it, and brought it to Aunt Qin.

"Yes, let them sleep for a while when they are tired. How do your brother's feet look?" As soon as Aunt Qin took the basket, she realized that something was wrong. Take it out, "Hey, why did you pack so many things for me?"

"Mother, take it, you have sent so many things to our house, why don't you allow me to return a gift? These dried seafood are brought back from relatives in our town, not bought by ourselves. Mommy, take some back to eat, these things are not easy to buy outside." Lu Jin held down the hand of the auntie, not letting her return the things to him, and said: "The reason we stayed in the town during this time is to give Xiaobao Look at the feet, after such a long period of treatment, there is still some effect, but we must continue to treat in the future."

"Hey, child, I'm sorry for you." Aunt Qin's eyes were full of sympathy and pity as she looked at the teenage child in front of her. Poor child.

Lu Jin shook his head and said it was okay.

Aunt Qin didn't stay long and went back, but she wanted to return the things in the basket to Lu Jin.Lu Jin refused to ask for it, and sent the person to the door. After watching him leave, he closed the door behind his backhand.

It happened that the two children in the house woke up one after another, so he went to dig up the younger one and finish eating.

The child was woken up by him and cried twice, nestled in his arms listlessly, until he sat at the dinner table without the energy to eat, the child who usually eats obediently on weekdays asked him to deliver the meal to the The mouth was willing to open his mouth.

But what can Lu Jin do, he can only pamper this delicate child temporarily.
