60s Splendid Life

The house on the side of the big house——

Lu Jianguo hesitated outside the door for a while, then reached out and pushed open the door of the room, walked in with a bowl of rice in his hand, put the bowls and chopsticks on the table beside the bed, and put He sat down on the chair, and said to his wife who was lying on his side with her back facing him: "Would you like to get up and have some food, the children have left food for you."

The woman lying on her side facing the bed did not move or speak.

The dull man sitting in front of the bed didn't know what to say, neither of the husband and wife spoke for a while, the woman lying on the bed closed her eyes and shed tears silently.

After a while, the man persuaded his wife again: "Get up and eat, the food is cold... Mommy, Mommy's temperament is like that, you just don't hear what she says in the future. The fourth brother has been out by himself for so long She didn't come back, A Niang was just worried about the fourth brother, it doesn't matter if I go and look for it, you..."

The woman lying on the bed finally couldn't stand what her husband said, sat up from the bed, raised her hand and wiped her tears with her sleeve, looked at her husband with red and swollen eyes, and asked, "Lu Jianguo, can you support you for the rest of your life?" Brother and sister?"

"That's not..." The man's mouth moved, trying to find an excuse for his younger siblings.

As if seeing through what her husband was trying to say, Wang Meili snorted and asked, "You want to say they are still young, don't you? Look at how old Songguang and Songtao are in our family? And Xiaomei Xiaohui, Songguang The Songtao brothers went to work with you when they were twelve or thirteen years old. Xiaomei was only 14 years old this year, and went to the fields with you to earn work points the year before last. The brothers and sisters feel sorry for you as a father who has worked hard to support your family. Have you ever felt sorry for them? Your fourth brother is still young? Your fifth sister is still young? Which one of them is not older than Matsuhiro Xiaomei?"

"How many people in this family went to work in the fields, you don't know very well? What are we working so hard for? Isn't it so that our children can have a good meal. But look at our children, I work outside every day, and I still can’t get a full meal when I come back. I have no objection if you want to raise a father and a mother, but why should you raise your uncle and sister-in-law, and you have to raise a son and a daughter for the second uncle and the others, my poor son, I will not be reincarnated in this life, I will be cast into the belly of my unworthy mother, and suffer with my unworthy mother..." When it comes to the tears of the woman in the back, it is really bitter, not just because of myself His life was bitter, but also because his sons and daughters suffered with them.

Hearing what his wife said, Lu Jianguo lowered his head and dared not look at his wife.

Suddenly, his hand was caught by his wife's, and the man turned his head to look at the wife who was holding his hand, and saw his wife's face was red and swollen from crying, and her temples had grown white hair at some point. The girl who just married him more than ten years ago overlapped with the face of the old wife in front of her, and she was no longer what she used to be.

"Let's, let's split up. Go and tell Dad, let's split up, shall we?" The woman's voice contained a hint of pleading, her eyes fixed on the man in front of her, and there was a hint of hope in her eyes. .

When Lu Jianguo heard his wife's words, his pupils dilated and then shrunk for a moment, as if he didn't believe his wife would say such a thing.Split up?Dividing the family is not easy, the parents definitely don't agree to the separation, the father and the mother don't mention the separation, as a son, he should be the first to propose the separation, I'm afraid he will be scolded by the people in the village .

"Can't you?" The woman grabbed her husband's hand a little harder, as if she just wanted an answer.

Lu Jianguo shook his neck slightly, his throat was a little dry, he found his voice after a while, and said to his wife: "You know, we can't separate, father...mother and they will definitely not agree. "

"Can't you...?" The hope in the woman's eyes disappeared without a trace in an instant, and even her eyes dimmed. She let go of her husband's wrist and let go of her anger, paralyzed. Looking at the roof motionless on the bed, "You take the food away, I won't eat."

The man didn't take away the food on the bed, but went out by himself, stood under the eaves and looked at the yard outside without saying a word.

The sky outside was sinking, and it was still raining, and the slightest drizzle was blowing around with the wind.

As soon as it got dark, the whole house was darkened, and there was not even a single candle light. Everyone went back to the house where they lived, and no one lit a lamp.This house is still the same as it used to be. The people here... the children are growing up slowly, the adults are getting old slowly, and the old people are getting older day by day, but what remains unchanged is that the faces of each of them They lost their vitality and smiles.

In another small courtyard different from the old Lu family house, candle lamps were lit in the house, and the sound of children reading could be heard from inside.

Lu Jin was making up lessons for two younger brothers and sisters who had just gone to school, making up for the two children what they hadn't learned before.Fortunately, the two children are still very serious in their studies. The elder sister Lu Qinglian is very active in her studies. Even Chenchen, who was yelling not to study, is very attentive when she actually learns. Children can basically remember it.

After finishing the lessons for the siblings, I assigned them tasks and let them learn by themselves.

After dealing with his sister and brother, Lu Jin hugged their little Baoer to do arithmetic again. The child could already count from one to ten. What surprised him the most was that the child reacted very quickly in arithmetic. Now he can count to ten. The addition within tens of fingers is clasped.

"3+6=how many"

"9!"

"Excellent. Let's do another one, 5+5=how many"

"10!"

The child's loud voice was full of pride.

The two different houses present two completely different styles, and the people inside also have two different futures and lives... Some people are positive, like grass facing the sun, absorbing the dew and sunshine, day by day. Growing up; some people have grown up in the dark and humid hell all their lives, and their hearts have been eroded and rotted a little bit.

But in any case, life is chosen by oneself. Some people work hard, crush the bones and glue them together again, and go out hard. What awaits them is another brand new life.

***

The next day, after her son went to school, Chen Aihong went to the school to find some classmates who usually had a good time with her son to inquire about her son.

Lu Jinbao was also asked by Chen Aihong for a while, but he was warned by Lu Songguang in advance not to speak, so when Chen Aihong asked him for questioning, he just lowered his head and said he didn't know.

"Why don't you know? Auntie knows that Jinbao and Songguang have had the best time since they were young. Didn't Songguang take you with him when he did everything outside? Who beat Songguang, you tell auntie, auntie Go to that person and help Songguang get justice." Chen Aihong saw the child's appearance, and knew that Lu Jinbao must know about his son, so she would not let him go so easily.

"Auntie, I really don't know." Lu Jinbao raised his head and glanced in the direction of the classroom.

Lu Songguang, who was in the classroom, just looked up and saw a familiar figure with his back turned to him. When he went out, he found that it was really his mother who was talking with Lu Xiaopang. He walked over and pulled his mother to push him away, " Auntie, go back quickly, we are going to class, and the teacher will be here soon."

"It happened that I went to your teacher to ask what happened, who beat you up." Chen Aihong was relentless in the matter of her son being bullied, and refused to let it go.

"Why do you go to the teacher? Do you want to make everyone look down on me before you give up? Then I will go home with you and stop reading this book." Thinking of every time his mother made trouble in front of the teacher Shameless, Lu Songguang doesn't like his mother going to the teacher to make trouble.

Chen Aihong was really frightened when she heard that her son was threatening her by not studying. It's gone." At worst, she'll just turn around and find someone to ask.

Although she was unwilling, Chen Aihong looked at her resolute son, and walked away step by step.

After his aunt left, Lu Songguang took Lu Jinbao back to the classroom together.

Lu Qinglian, who was sitting in the classroom, had long noticed that their second aunt had come to the school. The little girl observed the people outside calmly, and noticed that the woman pulled several people to talk, so she knew that the woman must be Asked who beat her son, so the little girl was a little worried, afraid that their second aunt would really find out that it was Lu Songguang who was beaten by their elder brother.

But seeing that the woman didn't rush into the classroom to trouble the siblings, but left, Lu Qinglian was a little suspicious that the woman didn't find out anything.

This doubt lasted until the time between classes, when Lu Daqing and the boys came to talk to her brother, Lu Qinglian was sure that their second aunt did not find out that it was Lu Songguang who was beaten by her brother.

"Don't worry, his mother came to ask us, we didn't say anything. I will play with you from now on, not him." Lu Daqing is the boy who used to play with Lu Songguang and Lu Jinbao. Tell Lu Haochen and Lu Qinglian about Mother coming to them.

Since seeing the fight between Lu Jin and Lu Songguang yesterday, the boys have been completely conquered by Lu Jin's skill, and because they are afraid that Lu Jin thinks they are in the same camp as Lu Songguang, they plan to fight with Lu Songguang from today Clear boundaries.So naturally Lu Songguang's mother came to them and asked who beat Lu Songguang, but they didn't say anything, and they didn't confess to Lu Jin and Lu Haochen brothers.

When they arrived at school that day, they didn't go to play with Lu Songguang and Lu Jinbao as they did in the past. Instead, they went to the new classmate Lu Haochen to talk to him.

In fact, they also wanted to talk to Lu Qinglian, but because the other party was a female classmate, the boys blushed before saying anything, so they didn't dare to talk to Lu Qinglian, they only dared to talk to someone who was a boy like them Lu Haochen played.It's just that when talking, the corners of the boys' eyes can't help but look at the beautiful female classmate who is sitting on the seat and writing.

Lu Haochen was a little flattered to see someone asking him to play with him, but the friendship between boys was easy to establish, a group of boys quickly got together after running around outside.

Lu Qinglian, who was writing in the classroom, looked at her younger brother who was running wildly with the boys outside, just shook her head and sighed, and continued to imitate her.
