60s Splendid Life

"Hey, you kids, if you can't help it, get up quickly." Aunt Qin hurriedly stepped forward to pull them up, let the children stand up quickly, stretched out her hand and patted Lu Jin's arm twice , took a look at the child, and said with reproach in his eyes: "What are you children doing with your Uncle Lu so politely? He is the captain of our village, so we should handle things."

"Old Lu, do you think what I said is correct?" After finishing, Aunt Qin didn't forget to turn her head and ask Captain Lu of their family.

Captain Lu said everything you said was right.

Aunt Qin just laughed, turned her head and said to Lu Jin: "Look, your Uncle Lu is right. You will live here in the future and it will be closer to our house. If you have anything to do, feel free to come to us, and your blog post Brother Bocheng and the others, we are all descendants of an old ancestor, and we should help each other with anything in the future."

Lu Jin smiled and nodded, agreeing with Aunt Qin's words.

"They are all good children, they are all good children." Aunt Qin reached out and touched the heads of several children, feeling distressed and pitying for them.

"Brother, come and play, come and play."

"Go, go play with your brothers."

The two little grandsons of the village head's family came to drag Chenchen to play. Lu Jin asked the child to play with his younger brothers. Seeing that the child curled up in his arms was a little shy, he didn't force the child to go down to play with his brothers.By the way, I asked Captain Lu if there were any procedures for sending the child to school, and he learned that as long as the teacher at the school agreed, it would be fine, so he had to wait until tomorrow to go to the school to ask the teacher about it.

Other people from the village came to talk to Captain Lu to talk about things. Lu Jin said goodbye to Aunt Qin, and took their children back home. When they left, they went out through the back door. They went back to the small courtyard where they lived.

As for the Shen family's house, after Lu Jin's brothers and sisters came home, Shen Yu cooked the family's meals this day. During this time, he helped Lu Jin and learned a few dishes, pancakes and noodles that he didn't like. Knowing how to cook, I learned to steam white rice, stir-fry two dishes and cook a soup, which is enough for a family of three.

After the cooked meals were brought out, Grandma Shen even praised her eldest grandson for his ability.

It's just that there were a few fewer people at the dinner table this day, and the dinner at their house was not as lively as it used to be.

After returning from the outside, the smile on Shen Xing's little boy's face disappeared, and he was depressed all afternoon, and even made a fuss about refusing to eat at dinner, Shen Yu was so angry that he almost took the little fat man into the room to beat him up.The old lady felt sorry for her little grandson, and took a spoon to feed the little grandson one bite at a time, and then coaxed the grandson to eat a bowl of rice.

After the meal, the old lady went to take the snacks that Lu Jin had left for them and gave them to her grandson, finally making her grandson happy.

……

After returning to the small courtyard where they lived from the captain's house, Chenchen asked his brother: "Brother, do you think Xing Xing and Grandma Shen will miss us?"

"You miss Grandma Shen and Xing Xing, don't you?" Lu Jin asked as he put the baby in his arms on the floor to play, and touched the head of the other older brother.

Chenchen nodded, hummed, her little face was a little unhappy, "I miss them. Brother, when shall we go to town again? I want to go and play with the stars."

"I'll go to school tomorrow to ask the teacher about your enrollment. If the teacher agrees to let you join the class, you and your sister will go to study. You two may not have much time to play in the future." Lu Jin told their children in advance Get a vaccination, don't just think about playing all day, kid, you still have to study!

Chenchen was shocked, and looked at his brother in disbelief, his mouth was so wide that an egg could be stuffed in, and he closed his mouth after a while, and asked his brother: "Brother, I really want to go to school?" ?”

"Really, are there any fake ones? I have bought books and pens for you and my sister, what do you think? Tomorrow my brother will take you and my sister to school to talk to the teacher. You two have to do well and go to school Mentally prepared." Before he dared to love, he said he would send them to study, but this silly child always thought that what he said was a lie?Lu Jin looked at the silly brother in front of him speechlessly, reached out and patted the child on the shoulder, letting the silly boy accept the reality.

"Woo... Brother, can I not go to school?" Chenchen is still struggling, he wants to be a wild child who doesn't need to go to school, "Just send your sister to study."

"What do you want to do if you don't study? You don't have the energy to farm, you don't know the big characters when you go out, and you don't know the way home." Lu Jin immediately refused, saying, "Both of you must go."

"Brother, what should I do Xiaobao after I go to study? Why don't you let the third brother go to study, and I will stay at home with Xiaobao." Lu Qinglian was struggling in her heart. The younger brother has no one to look after them at home, and it is already very difficult for the elder brother to support them, so there is no money for them to study.

During the time they were in the town, although my brother didn't say anything to them, but seeing him go out early and return late every day with a basket on his back, she could vaguely guess that his brother must be doing some kind of business outside to earn money. Often bring delicious food back to them.

"No, no, sister, you go to study, I will stay at home and watch Xiaobao." Chenchen jumped out quickly and said.

Lu Jin looked at the two sensible siblings, looked down at the child who was sitting on the ground looking up at them with his little head up, a smile flashed across his face, and said, "You don't have to worry about this, you just need to worry about it." Just go to school, my brother will be optimistic about Xiaobao. In the future, my brother may take Xiaobao to the town to see Dr. Liu for follow-up visits. The two of you have to stay at home to go to school. You can’t run around with your brother all the time, so the two of you From tomorrow on, you will learn how to cook with your elder brother, if your elder brother is not at home, both of you must make sure that you will not go hungry when you stay at home."

"Well, I'll cook tomorrow's meal." Lu Qinglian actually knows how to cook, but her cooking skills are not as good as her brother's, so her brother is cooking during this time, and she just helps set the fire.

"I can help watch the fire!" Chenchen, who can't cook, said loudly.

Are you proud of helping watch the fire?Lu Jin looked at this silly boy, couldn't help but stretched out his hand and flicked his forehead, and said with a snort, "Then you have to watch the fire, don't burn our yard, if it burns, we really don't have to place to live."

"Oh, it hurts!" Chenchen covered the place where her brother bounced with both hands, and pouted to refute his brother's words, "I won't!"

Lu Jin went back to the house and took out all the schoolbags, notebooks, pencils, and erasers he had bought, and distributed them to the siblings. The youngest, Xiao Baoer, also got a notebook, a pencil, and a small piece of paper. Pencils, the children are so happy that they can hardly see their eyes from laughing.

After they took a bath, the sky outside slowly became dark.

***

There is no electricity in the village, and when it gets dark, the whole village becomes dark.

Fortunately, they bought kerosene when they came back from the town, and they lit the oil lamps in the house at night, so there was light in the house.

There was no small desk at home, so Lu Jin moved a wooden box to the bed and used it as a table, and put the lit oil lamp on the table.The three children were sitting around a wooden box with their own notebooks on top of the box. The children were holding pencils in their hands to write big characters on the grid.

Chenchen and Qinglian had learned to read and write from their elder brother before, and also learned to hold a pen to write. Although the handwriting is not very correct, they can write by themselves.

Lu Jin wrote three big characters in the notebook, taught the three children to read it a few times, and let the two children write it down by themselves.

The youngest, Xiao Baoer, has never learned to read or hold a pen before, so he can't even hold a pen.Lu Jin grabbed the child's hand, held a pencil, and wrote with the tip of the pen on the notebook, "Do you know what number this is?"

"1."

"Well, that's right. Bao is awesome!"

Lu Jin praised the child, the child pursed his mouth, had a happy smile on his face, and his eyes were shining brightly, which made him couldn't help but smack on the child's face.During this period of time, I ate well, and the child's body has grown a little flesh, and the little face is much easier to kiss than before. After one kiss, people can't help but kiss the second and third...

bae~

When the child kissed him on the cheek, Lu Jin was a little shocked, met the child's shy eyes, and kissed the child back, praised the child for being so smart, but did not forget to teach the child You can only kiss your own brothers and sisters, and you are not allowed to kiss outsiders.

"Yeah!" The child nodded seriously, then turned around and continued to write his "1".

Sitting on the opposite side, the siblings who wrote big characters saw their eldest brother and younger brother kissing each other. The two siblings met each other, and the same thing was written in their eyes: "Look, little Bao'er is my brother's favorite." brother!

Seeing that the child could hold the pen by himself and draw the word "1" crookedly on it, Lu Jin let go of his hand and let the child write by himself.Noticing that the two children on the opposite side were just staring at him and not writing, he tapped on the table with his hands to remind them to write carefully.

The siblings on the opposite side hurriedly lowered their heads and continued to write big characters.

Little Bao'er fell asleep on the kang after writing for a while, and waited until the other two children finished their homework assigned today.Lu Jin took the lamp and sent the little girl back to sleep in the next room, then came back to their room, blew out the wick, and went to bed to sleep with the two boys.

The next day's breakfast was made by their little girl. Lu Jin stood by and taught the little girl how to cook porridge, how much water to put, how to knead the dough, how much flour to put, how much water to put... the little girl's wrists are nothing He was exhausted after kneading for a while, so he asked another younger brother to continue kneading.

Steamed buns and porridge for breakfast, and a side dish.

After breakfast, Lu Jin held a child in his arms, followed by two younger siblings, and the four of them went to the elementary school in their village together.The primary school in their village is to the west of the village. It was only a few minutes away from them, not very far, just a few steps away.
