Through the struggle of farming

Lu Jinliu walked slowly on the country road. There are memories of his childhood here, even if they are not good, but thinking about never coming back in the future, looking at the scenes in front of him is full of emotion.

Step by step, trying to keep the picture in front of me in mind, the distance from the mountain to the village is actually not that short, but maybe it's a matter of mood, Lu Jinliu felt that it only took a moment before he saw the crowd.

Before selecting candidates, Lu Jinliu had made a list in his mind. After observing for a while, he also communicated with the other party, and the first one on the list was very interested, which saved a lot of effort.

This person is located in the west of the village, the third grandson of Lu Daxiang's family - Lu Jinquan.

Lu Jinquan's father was Lu He's youngest son who died in the quarry with Lu Jinliu's father.There are three brothers in Lu He's generation, and the family has only six acres of land, and life has always been tight.But after Lu He died, the mothers of the two children remarried, and the two children stayed in Lu's house without any harsh treatment.It shows that the Lu family has a precious character and the friendship between brothers is deep.

Of course, it is one aspect of the Lu family's character to be qualified, but Lu He's family is not the only one who is suitable in this aspect in the village. As for his family's sad life, there are many people who are more sad than him.The reason why Lu Jinquan was selected by Lu Jinliu as the No.1 choice was Lu He.

Lu He is one of the few friends of Lu Yuan. Lu He likes to play with Lu Yuan since he was a child. When he grows up, Lu Yuan works in Liu's house and misses Lu He. He always calls Shang Lu when he has a good job. river.If Lu Yuan hadn't been working in the quarry that time, Lu He might not have followed him.Lu Jinliu thought, his father, Quan Xiayouzhi, was also willing to take care of this old man!

Walking all the way to Lu He's house in a secluded place, the little grandson of the Lu family had been ordered by his elders to watch the door, and ran into the house as soon as he saw Lu Jinliu. Some people thought he was some jackal, tiger and leopard!

When Lu Jinliu arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the Lu family cheered out a large area, welcoming Lu Jinliu in mightily.

Looking at their reserved looks, Lu Jinliu always had the feeling that this was his home and they were the guests. Suddenly he couldn't open his mouth to reminisce about the old days, and he simply went straight to the point.

"Uncle, aunt, what did you think about Li Gui's coming over last time? It was originally a big deal, so I should have made a trip in person at that time, but I was busy at the end of the year, so I took some time to come here this time. You guys Don't be surprised!"

Lu Daxiang waved his hand, "No wonder, no wonder, I heard that those gentlemen in the city are very busy, how can they compare with idlers like us! It's just what I said last time, our brothers are still with us, right?"

In fact, Li Gui had explained everything clearly last time, but it was probably something serious, and the Lu family always felt that they were worried that what a servant said would not count, and they still wanted to get some assurance from Lu Jinliu.

Lu Jinliu understood this kind of worry about his relatives, and patiently said: "Yes. My father-in-law's grandfather has been unwell recently, and the doctor said that it is best to raise him in the warmer south. Next year, I plan to move my family to the south. Here The only thing that worries me is my father. I don’t ask for anything else to adopt a child for my father. As long as you can help clean the grave when you worship your ancestors. There is no need for worship. I will carry my father’s tablet with me , I don’t need you to worry about it!”

You have to buy some joss sticks, paper money and offerings for worship. After all, you are an outsider. Lu Jinliu is worried that they will not be happy after a long time, and the cleaning will be different.Even for their own peace of mind and to silence the villagers, they will not be negligent. Even if they don't say these things, cleaning up is just a trivial matter that takes a lot of effort, and the villagers never mind it.

"Except that all the gold has to be transferred to my father's name, it's no different from your old days. I'll pay eight acres of land for the upbringing expenses over the years. In addition, the house is old. I'll pay 80 taels for renovation. Do what I want! Jin Quan is under my father's name. It is one thing for you to be brothers, but it is not convenient for him to divide the family property. My father is gone, and the elder brother is like a father, so I will give Jin Quan six for my father. Mu of land and 50 taels of silver as family support. What do you think?"

This was considered a huge sum of money in an ancient farming family. Besides, Lu Jinliu's requirements were really low. The Lu family were all honest people, and they felt uneasy when they heard it.

Lu Daxiang hurriedly said: "This brother Quan is my own grandson, he should be brought up, not to mention that from this point of view, brother Quan will have to be filial by our side in the future, how dare he take so much money? No way! For Brother Quan's six acres of land, 50 taels of silver will be enough!"

"That's right, Jin Quan is still a child before he gets married, and I can't take care of him. In the future, your elders will have to worry about getting married, and you elders will have to supervise my father's affairs. This money is not for nothing. take!"

"That's not what I said, it's just pulling weeds and cleaning. My little great-grandson can do it alone!"

"Sir, don't refuse. I don't know when I will come back after going out. Uncle Lu and my father used to have a good relationship. I think my father will be happy to see Uncle Lu's child. Besides, I don't want to leave it to others. Don't worry. The uncle will treat me as a filial piety for my father."

Lu Jinquan looked at his grandfather and then at Lu Jinliu, gritted his teeth and said, "Grandpa, you can accept it! The family can't live anymore. The fifth and sixth brothers are almost eighteen and haven't married yet. The third and fourth sisters My sister is about to say kiss, I, I will treat Uncle Lu as my real father from now on."

The year Lu He left, Lu Jinquan was just born, and he had never met his father.Since I was a child, I knew that my grandma and two uncles were raising me. When I was young, I was worried that I would be treated harshly because of my father's absence, but I didn't!He has some brothers in his generation, and he doesn't have any brothers. The family has always been fair.

Including that he is almost nineteen this year, because of his father, people who don't understand are afraid that his daughter will be wronged when she gets married. In addition, the Lu family is really poor and has never been able to be called a relative. The family did not pass him, but delayed the next two younger brothers.

Although no one said it, Lu Jinquan was always very uneasy, always thinking about what to do for his family.The adoption this time was a good opportunity, he was very grateful to Lu Jinliu, and secretly vowed that as long as there were conditions, he would not only clean, but also do worship.

Lu Jinliu is quite at ease with this family. He has been secretly observed for a long time. The Lu family has always been united and harmonious. Even Lu Jinquan's two aunts are not that narrow-minded. They were all kind, and that was enough.

In the end, as the head of the family, Lu Daxiang looked at his patched little grandson and the old mud house, gritted his teeth and agreed to Lu Jinliu's suggestion.

"Then I'll talk to the village head and elders first, and I'll have someone call you later."

When Lu Jinliu walked out of the gate, he could still hear Lu Daxiang seriously admonishing his children and grandchildren that Lu Jinquan was for the sake of being a family and Lu Jinquan was his own family!

Lu Jinliu hooked the corners of his mouth, he didn't care about this, but rather admired Lu Daxiang.Although he, as a feudal patriarch, does not have the extra ability to give his family a prosperous life, but he makes the family twist into one rope all the time, he is a qualified elder!

Speaking of adoption, as long as the two families discuss it, and then tell the village chief that the clan elder has changed the family tree, it will be fine.Lu Dacai and Liu Caifen are both dead, and Lu Yuan has no elders, so it's just a matter of finding a senior elder who can talk.

But Lu Yuan's situation is quite special. He lost his elders, but the Lu family is still there.Lu Jin broke up with him, but Lu Yuan didn't. He was still on the Lu family's genealogy. The Lu family would quarrel for a long time for a small profit. Such a big matter couldn't be guaranteed.It's better to bribe the clan elders first, no, let's talk after persuading and making a decision.When the time comes, the deal is done, and there is nothing they can do.

Fortunately, the elders were away, and the brothers of the Lu family separated, so they could talk about Lu Yuan's affairs at most, but they didn't have the right to make decisions.

Of course, Lu Daxiang's family is not easy to mess with, although they are friendly, they are very protective, otherwise, no matter how suitable, Lu Jinliu would not dare to look for Lu Jinquan, otherwise, wouldn't it be harmful for him to be raped by the two Lu family brothers in the future?

It was easy for the village head and elders. Lu Jin left them a big red envelope and donated ten mu of land to the village as a sacrifice field. It was easy to get things done.On the contrary, the elders felt that Lu Jinliu made a fuss over a molehill, and it was just to clean the grave, and he could ask any good family to help him, so it was a waste of so much trouble.

Of course, the money in hand is not too much, and the elders are also very quick to do things after receiving the benefits.There is a senior elder in the village, everyone calls him Grandfather Fourth, but coincidentally, he is not even related to the Lu family, so Lu Dacai has to call him Grandpa Fourth when he is around.
