"Brother, I'll help you carry things, I'm hungry, hurry home, Mom has made the meal." ”

Lu Ze didn't refuse, and directly handed over the luggage to Lu Nan, if he didn't let his sister work, it would be meaningless to be a brother, and even the schoolbag he was carrying was thrown to Lu Nan.

"Dad, it's so cold, what are you doing here, let's go, I'll help you, go home." ”

Reaching out to hold Lu Weiguo's arm, Lu Ze looked at the two missing fingers on his father's hand and felt a pain in his heart, and helped Lu Weiguo to walk slowly home.

"It's good to go out and get a little fatter. ”

Lu Weiguo did not refuse Lu Ze's support, because he had arthritis in both legs, and his legs hurt so much that he couldn't take a step when it snowed, and he usually had to crutches when no one helped him.

Lu Weiguo is forty-eight this year, but he looks like fifty-eight, only by taking the photos of him when he was young, can he reach the time when he was in his prime, and he is more handsome than Lu Ze now.

It's just that his fate is much more bumpy than his appearance, he dropped out of school at the age of fourteen, and began to go to the battlefield to load sand for big trucks, just using shovels and shovels to load big trailers.

I got married at the age of twenty, and I couldn't fill the family with sand, so I went to the logging yard to resist the trees from the mountain, and the wood with a diameter of thirty and above was resisted by the front and rear feet of the two people, and Lu Weiguo carried it down the mountain by himself and loaded it and pulled it away.

Lu Ze still remembers that his father wore a hood when he worked, and he was tired and sweaty carrying a large piece of wood alone, and until now, Lu Weiguo's shoulders also have calluses thicker than normal people's heels.

At the age of thirty-eight, he quit his job as a wood bearer, because at that time his two knees had a lot of problems, so he had no choice but to take Li Yumei to leave his hometown to work as a migrant worker in the city, and found a job as a laborer at a construction site, while Lu Ze and Lu Nan became left-behind children.

Although he was a migrant worker all day long, his income was really good, but the good times did not last long, and when Lu Weiguo made a mistake when he played the steel bar for two years, the ring finger and little finger of his right hand were cut off, which was not the most fatal, the worst thing was that the steel bar bounced up and poked Lu Weiguo's left eye.

The critical illness notice was issued four times, and even when it was just sent to the hospital, it was almost not rescued, it was really the darkest moment of the old Lu family, although the compensation on the construction site solved most of the treatment costs, but the cost of the corners was also unbearable for the family.

emptied the family's funds, and the money returned from the family's ten acres of land to the brigade for seven acres was not covered yet, and was directly given to the hospital, and more than 100,000 foreign debts were owed.

Fortunately, when the family was about to reach a dead end, Lu Weiguo finally survived, but the middle of the two fingers that was cut off lost part of the tissue due to the sawtooth cut, and it could not be sutured, and his left eye was also blind.

It was also because of this change that Lu Ze had to drop out of school to work to fill the family, and it took four years to finally plug the hole of foreign debt with interest.

But now it can be regarded as a relief, the family's spare money bought two machines, one for rice and one for flour grinding, and when harvesting grain, he can earn 1,800 handmade money a month, plus the money sent back by Lu Ze, it can barely be maintained.

"I bought a plaster in my box, you go back and put it on, see if it works, and if it works, I'll mail it back to you every month." ”

Supporting Lu Weiguo and chatting about family life, the three of them went home, the snow in the large yard of the house had been swept clean, and the chimney on the roof was smoking outside.

"Mom, my brother is back!"

Pushing open the iron gate of the yard, when Lu Nan was not honest, he entered the yard and began to shout.

"Can you look like a girl?

After reprimanding Lu Nan, this girl deflated her mouth and deliberately stomped her foot on the ground, Lu Ze was not used to her problem, so she kicked her ass when she went up.

Pushing open the door, the room was much warmer than the outside, the two stoves in the east and west rooms were burning, the temperature should be twenty-five or six degrees, and it would not be cold in half a sleeve.

"Mom, I'm back. ”

Taking a broom to sweep the snow off his shoes, Lu Ze saw Li Yumei busy in the kitchen and said hello.

"It's just time to finish cooking, let's serve it directly, Xiao Nan, you hurry up and serve the rice bowl, Daze, do you want to eat sweet potatoes? Mom will roast two for you? ”

"Okay, let's do it. ”

When I went home, I didn't have that greasy energy, the whole family was a person who didn't express his feelings very much, and Lu Ze didn't have much, but he felt that he was only at home a lot.

Take off the coat and the long sleeves inside, open the wardrobe and rummage through two old clothes from before to change into, it is strange to say, Lu Ze was one meter eighty-three when he was in the third year of junior high school, and the old people guessed that Lu Ze could grow to two meters, but in the three years of high school, Lu Ze only grew one centimeter, and after graduating from high school, he never grew a centimeter.

Every time he went home, Lu Ze didn't want anything, he just ate the food cooked by Li Yumei, which was much more fragrant than the fried outside, washed his hands, sat on the stool, Lu Nan scalded the liquor for Lu Weiguo and Lu Ze, and waited for the chopsticks to come up and eat directly.

"How's the exam?

After taking a bite of food, Lu Ze asked about Lu Nan's grades as usual, this topic has always been asked by Lu Ze, there is no need for the old couple to open their mouths at all, if they don't do well in the exam, they don't need their parents to do it, Lu Ze will pull Lu Nan's hair out and beat him.

"I'm doing well in the exam! I can get the scholarship this year, 6,000 yuan!"

"The family is not short of 6,000 yuan now, you can take the exam yourself, don't spend it indiscriminately, come, Dad." ”

Since Lu Nan's academic performance is still passable, the other Lu Ze didn't ask more, after all, she is a big girl, and she should have a little privacy of her own.

After clinking glasses with his father, Lu Ze thought about it and said the next topic.

"When the spring starts next year, push the house and build another one, I can make some money after the year, enough to build a new house." ”

This made the three of them quite surprised, Li Yumei was a little distressed about money, and she really felt that the house at home was quite good, and she didn't need to repair it, so she raised objections.

"Why are you building a house, you and your father live at home, you are both outside now, this house is enough to live, you don't need to build it." ”

Lu Weiguo didn't speak, he has become silent since the accident, but Lu Ze seems to have this attitude as well.

I took another sip of liquor, and the family paid for the food and handicrafts, and found the pure grain wine brewed by the village brewing master, which was strong, fifty-six or seven degrees, and it was delicious.

"I think so, either build a new house, or go to the city to buy you a house, and all the capable people in the village have moved away, and I actually want you to live in the city, but I guess you can't do it. ”

Lu Ze thought about this question carefully, is it really good to go to the city? Although many relatives have moved to the city, they are too far apart, and there are no close people around the old couple, so they will indeed be lonely.

And the houses in the countryside are well built, and the living is not worse than the city, or even more comfortable than the city, after all, with Lu Ze's current financial resources, he can't afford to buy a very good house, waiting for the salary of "Imperial Capital Youth" to come down, according to Lu Hua's house price of more than 5,000 square meters, it is actually enough to buy two houses of 100 square meters.

The most important thing is that there are a lot of acquaintances in the village, and the neighbors on the left and right have lived for decades, and the relationship can't be better, in case something happens, you can still have a care, and you are strangers in the city, and few good neighbors will take care of you.

"I think it's a good house anyway. ”

"Mom, believe me, this house is still built by my father, it should have been built a long time ago, listen to me, I will take the money. ”

Now Li Yumei stopped talking, since Lu Weiguo lost his ability to work, the pillar of the whole family is Lu Ze, even if Lu Weiguo has something to do, he has to call his son to ask for his opinion, and now Lu Ze has really made up his mind to say that he wants to repair the house, then repair it, how to say it, it is also the child who wants to be filial.

The meal was almost over, and the father and son also drank a lot, Lu Nan poured tea for the two, and then picked up the table to wash the dishes.

"Xiao Nan come out to play!

"Brother, I didn't hang out with them, and you know I annoyed them. ”

As soon as Lu Nan heard someone shouting outside, she immediately panicked, afraid that her brother would beat her, so she quickly cleared up the relationship.

Hearing Lu Nan's explanation, Lu Ze's face was not very good-looking, he took a cigarette butt in his mouth, went out with a coat, pushed open the door and there was a brick on the ground, picked it up, and threw it out of the courtyard regardless of whether it could really hit someone or not.

"Come on, come on, I'll see who loves to play so much, you damn it, come over to your house and I'll go to your house to play with you! ”

"Damn, Daze is back, hurry up and run!"

A group of eighteen or nineteen-year-old half-grown children dropped out of school and didn't go out to work, so they stayed at home to be second-rate, knowing that the second eldest of the Lu family was beautiful, and often verbally flowery, Lu Ze used to carry a stick to go door to door into the house to beat, their parents are acquaintances, and they can climb up to relatives in the village, as long as they don't break it, they will sit on the kang and eat melon seeds, and Lu Ze will clean up his own family.

But just like that, these grandsons still have no skin and no face, and they always come to tease Lu Nan when Lu Ze is not at home.

Seeing Lu Ze come back this time, the psychological shadow flared up again, got on the electric car, quickly turned off the subwoofer, and rode to run with his life.
