60s Splendid Life

"Hey, it's not easy for that child." Aunt Qin sighed after hearing this, and said, "Our two families are close to each other, so if we have free time in the past two days, we will go over there more often. It's just a few steps away. thing."

"Yeah, that's what I thought too." Wang Xiumei thought that it was really not easy for that teenager to take on the burden of raising younger siblings, and to have a younger brother's feet.

"Look at me, I forgot to bring some bean curd sticks back to Xiao Jin just now." Seeing the bean curd sticks drying outside the yard, Wang Xiumei remembered that Lu Jin said he wanted some bean curd sticks as gifts. Almost forgot about it.

"Go and see if it's ready to dry, and take some in a basket. I'll go and see if the tofu is ready, and send them some tofu by the way." Aunt Qin asked her daughter-in-law to get the bean curd sticks, and she went to the kitchen to see them in the morning. There is no molded tofu.

There are a lot of bean curd sticks hanging outside their yard. The sun is good in the morning, and the bean curd sticks that have been in the sun all morning have dried up.After Wang Xiumei went to check, she found a basket and filled it with bean curd sticks, leaving the rest on the rope to dry.

Aunt Qin came out with a bowl of tofu in her hand, and gave the bowl to her daughter-in-law, "Hurry up and see if they're gone."

"Hey, okay, I'll go right away, mother, look at Da Mao and Er Mao, they are sleeping in the house." The two children were still taking a nap in the house, Wang Xiumei was afraid that the children would wake up and cry, so she told her mother-in-law One sound.Hearing her mother-in-law said hello, she went out with her things.

Aunt Qin watched her daughter-in-law go out, then turned around and went into the main room.

When Lu Jin was packing up his things and was about to go out, he saw his sister-in-law Xiumei hurried over, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

"My sister-in-law will bring you some yuba and tofu." Wang Xiumei gave Lu Jin the basket containing the yuba and the bowl containing the tofu. "This is the yuba we made in the morning. Do you think it's okay to dry it like this? You can bring some to town." go up."

"Why did you send me so many?" Lu Jin looked at such a basket of bean curd sticks, because it was his first attempt, and they didn't make too many bean curd sticks, so this basket took up nearly half of the bean curd sticks they made.He broke the bean curd stick with his hand, and it broke with a click, "It's ok, it's almost ready to dry like this, if you're worried, you can let it dry for a while, and you can let it dry for a little longer."

"Hey, okay, I still have some at home. We can make it another day if we don't have enough." Knowing that Lu Jin and the others were rushing out, Wang Xiumei didn't stay too much at their house. She delivered the things and said a few words before leaving up.

After their sister-in-law Xiumei left, Lu Jin followed Shen Yu and the others with her little Bao'er who had just woken up, and the two children at home reluctantly sent them out to the entrance of the alley.

The car is parked outside here.

Opened the car door and put little Bao'er in the car and sat down. Lu Jin turned around and waved to the two children, and said to them: "Wait at home for my brother to come back, and don't fight with others when you go to school. If you have anything to do, ask the teacher and Aunt Qin." Help you deal with it." For the first time leaving two children at home to go out, Lu Jin himself was not very relieved.

"Well, I see, brother Xiaobao, you need to come back quickly." Lu Qinglian suppressed her tears and told her brother.

"Brother, you need to come back quickly." Lu Haochen was already wiping tears while talking.

Little Shen Xing broke free from his elder brother's hand, ran over to hug his younger brother and younger sister, and said reluctantly to his older brothers and sisters who had been playing together for two days: "Sister Xiaolian, Chenchen, I will come to find you next time." You play, you have to wait for me."

"Yeah." Lu Qinglian nodded a little choked up, raised her head and looked at her brother with red eyes.

Lu Jin patted Shen Xing's head and asked Shen Xing to get into the car. Seeing that Shen Yu and the driver had already boarded the car, he stretched out his hand and took their two children into his arms and patted his back. Letting them go and getting into the car, he waved to the two children and said, "Go back, brother and Xiaobao will be back in two or three... at most three days."

Lu Qinglian and Lu Haochen stepped back while wiping their tears, watching their elder brother and younger brother leave in the car.

The car turned around, and the way it came and went went away.

It wasn't until he couldn't see the two children behind him that Lu Jin sat upright, and when he turned his head, he met Shen Yu's gaze.Shen Yu noticed that Lu Jin's eyes were a little red, and asked him, "Why didn't you take them with you?"

"They still have to go to school, just keep them at home." Lu Jin shook his head, it's not that he never thought about taking the other two children out with him, but it's really unnecessary.

Little Shen Xing has been moaning in his brother's arms since he got in the car, and he doesn't seem to want to go back with his brother too much.Shen Yu pulled out the two small knots on the top of his younger brother's head, and the two tufts of hair stood up. The beautiful little curly hair turned into... a random straw.

After pressing it twice with his hands and finding that it didn't go down, Shen Yu remained silent, "..."

Shen Xing felt that his brother was moving his head, reached out to touch his own head, raised his head and looked at his brother blankly.

Lu Jin noticed that Shen Yu was staring at Shen Xing with a silent expression on his head, and felt it was funny again, and told him, "I'll go back after I wash my hair. In the past two days, Xing Xing and Chenchen Xiaolian have been running around. It was the sweat on his forehead, and his hair was sticking to his face, so Xiao Lian tied it up for him." He would never admit that his younger sister brought her younger brother as her younger sister.

Shen Yu pushed his younger brother's hair back with his hands, revealing a small round face. It could be seen that the child had been raised well in other people's house these two days, and he didn't lose weight at all.

Shen Xing let his brother play with his head, and raised his head and asked his brother: "Brother, can I come and play with Chenchen next time?"

"Let's talk about it next time." Shen Yu glanced at the little fat man who was thinking about the next time before he got home, humming in his heart, he didn't know when the next time would be.

"Oh." Shen Xing was a little disappointed. He got out of his brother's arms, sat on the chair with his little buttocks, and sat side by side with Little Bao'er. Give Xiao Baoer a candy, "Xiao Baoer will eat it for you."

Little Bao'er glanced at his elder brother, and seeing his elder brother nodding to him with a smile, he reached out to grab the candy someone else gave him.

"Xiaobao, do you want some candy? I'll peel it off for you." Seeing that his younger brother took the candy he gave, little Shen Xing enthusiastically wanted to help him peel the candy.

Little Bao'er had a thoughtful look on her face, and after thinking for a while, she opened her little hand and gave the candy to her little brother.

Shen Xing didn't want the candy back either, he peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed the candy into his brother's mouth.Seeing my younger brother's small mouth bulging while eating candy, he didn't talk to him, he was full of words and didn't know who to talk to, even the buttocks sitting on the chair felt so uncomfortable that he was pulling his younger brother to talk, "Why don't you talk to me, Xiaobao, talk to me."

One side of Xiaobao's cheek was bulging, with a candy in it, and a pair of quiet eyes stared at his little brother who was pulling him.

Lu Jin felt a little funny watching the interaction between the two little guys. One of them kept talking non-stop, and neither of them opened their mouths.He thought about the three children in their family. It was true that Shen Xing played better with the other two brothers and sisters. He or his sister took care of their little treasure most of the time. He had the temperament of a little girl. Quietly.Of course, there are times when they are naughty, but they are relatively rare.

The roads in the country are not very smooth, and the car shakes a little along the way.

The kid who had been babbling just now lay down on the chair and fell asleep not long after talking. Lu Jin held the little baby in his arms. Their kid took a nap for more than two hours in the morning. How sleepy.He saw that Shen Yu, who was sitting on the other side, also had his eyes closed. He wondered if he was asleep. Even his sitting posture was so upright. It seemed that he was a person who had received strict education and rules since he was a child.

When he first went to the Shen family's mansion, he was a little confused. An old lady lived in a small town with her two grandchildren, and there were no other adults in the family.The last time they stayed at Shen's house for so long, he didn't hear the old lady and Shen Yu talk about other people in the family, only heard Shen Xing, who was still young, talking about his parents a few times.From this point of view, Shen Yu's parents should still be there, but the two brothers were not by their parents' side, and returned to live with their grandma.

But about other people's family affairs, Lu Jin would not ask about other people's family affairs, just like Mrs. Shen and Shen Yu would not ask about their family affairs, so he would not inquire about other people's family affairs. thing.He thinks it's a good way to respect each other, otherwise it will always be a little embarrassing to cross that line.

***

Sitting in a car was much more comfortable than taking the tractor and mule cart they took last time, and the speed was much faster. After a while, they arrived in the town, and the driver Xiao Liu drove them to the gate of Shen's house. , four people got out of the car.

"Thank you, Brother Liu." Lu Jin thanked Xiao Liu, the driver who drove them back.

Xiao Liu also got out of the car, took down the things on the car and put them at the door of Shen's house, nodded slightly to Lu Jin, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, then I'll take you here Ah. Do you need me to help you get your stuff in?"

"No need, we can take it ourselves." Lu Jin didn't bring anything with him when he came, except for their children, there was only a basket, in which were their two changes of clothes, and some food and gifts for the old lady. wild vegetables and yuba tofu.

"Go back and do your work. I'll trouble you to make a trip. We can just take the things by ourselves." Shen Yu nodded to Xiao Liu.

"Hey, okay, contact me if you have anything to do." Xiao Liu said the last sentence while looking at Shen Yu.

Shen Yu nodded, hummed, stretched out his hand to open the door, bent down to help Lu Jin get things, and motioned for Lu Jin to bring the two children in together, "Go in."

"Oh, I'll do it myself..." Right?

Lu Jin reached out to get his own pannier, but when he saw that Shen Yu had already helped him get it, he had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​taking it by himself, and walked in ahead with the two children, Xiao Bao'er and Shen Xing.

Seeing Shen Yu and his group enter the yard, the driver outside, Xiao Liu, sat back in the driver's seat, turned the car around, and drove away.
