Chapter 43 Filial piety
"This kid, stupid, when he sees his grandmother and uncle, aunt, and aunt, he doesn't call anyone?" came from the kitchen from Lu's mother's scolding voice.
Lu Menglin woke up like a dream, and hurriedly sat down next to his grandmother, opened his arms, and hugged her thin body.
"Grandma, I miss you so much!
The uncle and aunt next to him couldn't help but be stunned, they had never seen their nephew so affectionate before!
Although my grandmother is old, she is not confused, and she can naturally feel her grandson's true feelings.
"Xiaolin, you have grown taller, grown up, and become sensible. Grandma is so happy that you have never studied since she was a child, and she has no culture, so I will become a cultural person in the future.
Grandma's words are not too embellished, and she lives in the countryside, and she is not very good at speaking, but the relief and pride in the old man's tone can be clearly perceived by Lu Menglin.
"Menglin, this is the green walnut that your grandmother picked from the mountain, specially for you to replenish your brain, you have to study hard! The little aunt interjected.
The little uncle also stammered: "I knew that Menglin would... There will definitely be something to be done in the future, but it's amazing... Awesome!"
After that, the little uncle gave Lu Menglin a thumbs up quite sincerely.
"I heard that our Menglin has received the manuscript fee? The children in this factory are different from our rural people. The little aunt added.
Lu's mother listened to her brother and sister-in-law praising her son in the kitchen, and her heart suddenly became happy, and she hurriedly said: "He has taken more than 3,000 yuan for the manuscript! ”
Hearing so much money, the uncle and the little aunt gasped at the same time, and became more and more surprised, and all kinds of adoring eyes made Lu Menglin embarrassed.
Needless to say, three thousand yuan, being able to publish articles in magazines, and being invited to Beijing for a meeting, this kind of thing is simply a fantasy for them who were born in the countryside, not to mention a half-grown child like Lu Menglin, it is themselves, living to be in their thirties, and they don't even dare to dream of this kind of thing.
This kid is only afraid that he will become a cadre in the future! The little uncle and the little aunt thought to themselves at the same time.
Grandma listened to these words and watched her relatives treat her grandson differently, and she was so happy that she almost couldn't close her mouth.
What do the elderly care about all their lives? Isn't it just that their children and grandchildren have a future?
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!" Lu's mother smiled in the kitchen and brought out the dishes for hospitality.
Plates of stir-fried vegetables were served on the table, and the Lu family's food has been significantly improved and promoted, in the past, they could only eat meat twice a month, but today there is a rare dish such as roasted beef brisket with potatoes.
There is also an old hen brought by my grandmother, which was also stewed into a pot of delicious local chicken soup by Lu's mother, and everyone served a bowl.
"Isn't my brother Lu coming back for dinner today?" The little aunt saw that this was about to eat, and hurriedly asked again.
Lu's mother replied with a smile: "Lao Lu has just been transferred to his position and is about to go to Guangdong to be a manager. ”
As soon as I heard that my brother-in-law had also been promoted, my uncle and aunt were left with envy and admiration at the moment.
The family ate around the table, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Lu Menglin picked up the big chicken leg in the bowl and put it in his grandmother's bowl.
"This kid, what is this for? This is for you to eat!" When the grandmother saw her grandson's heartwarming action, she was moved and hurriedly excused herself.
Lu Menglin smiled and said, "Grandma, you can eat! I eat chicken thighs every day at school, and I can eat as many as I want." ”
"This kid is really rich!" the little uncle and the little aunt looked at each other, and they both thought the same thing in their hearts.
"That's different, grandma, this is a home-raised chicken, which grew up eating grain, and it is very supplemented, you eat it. "Grandma said that she would take the chicken leg back to her grandson.
Lu Menglan smiled and said: "Grandma eat! You take good care of your body, let us honor you more, more than anything else! Now our family life is better, there is no need to be so simple, you are healthy, eat and sleep well, I will take you to Beijing to play in the future!"
As soon as these words came out, several elders present were all stunned, they didn't expect such heartwarming words to come out of Lu Menglin's mouth so easily.
For Lu Menglin, he has already experienced the pain of "the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to raise but the relatives are not there", so he cares about the relatives around him very much, does not want to lose them, and wants to give them a better life, so it is natural to say these words to his grandmother.
And the three elders, including Lu's mother, although the people of their generation, although they know to be good to their mother, they are clumsy in expressing it, like Lu Menglin's words just now, they can't say it anyway.
Grandma's eyes suddenly turned red, and Lu Menglin's words moved the old man.
The old grandmother held the rice bowl in her hand, her lips were slightly open, but she didn't know what to say, but she looked at her sensible grandson silently with gentle eyes.
After eating, Lu's mother took out three boxes of high-end pastries from the cabinet, all of which were dragon whisker cakes, sesame candy and the like, the kind that the elderly can eat, and then put on a few bottles of canned fruit, planning to let her grandmother take them back to the countryside.
Lu Menglin sat on the sofa and talked with his grandmother, and the grandparents talked a lot, talking about the big earth dog at his grandmother's house in the countryside, the small mulberry tree planted in the vegetable garden, and the clear stream flowing in front of his grandmother's door.
Seeing that her mother brought the gift for her grandmother, Lu Menglin took it and gently put it on the coffee table.
When the little uncle and little aunt saw so many gifts, they were immediately convinced again that the Lu family was really developed, and it was different from before.
Lu Menglin casually opened a pack of dragon whisker cakes, pinched one, and sent it to his grandmother's mouth.
Grandma happily ate two bites, but Lu Menglin then opened a package of sesame candy, which made the little uncle and little aunt feel distressed.
Mother Lu turned around and saw that two packets of food had been opened on the coffee table, so she frowned directly, and said angrily: "Lu Menglin, what are you doing? This is something for grandma to bring back, you are so greedy and rude, what do you look like?"
Without waiting for Lu's mother to lose her temper, her grandmother hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, let the child eat if he likes it." ”
The little aunt said sourly on the side: "Children are not sensible, and they should be managed." The family doesn't care, they will come outside and be taken care of by others. ”
Lu Menglin didn't care, but smiled happily: "Mom, I'm not hungry for this." I deliberately dismantled it for my grandmother to eat. ”
"Do you remember? In the past, my grandmother was always reluctant to eat the pastries and fruits you gave to my grandmother, and kept them until they expired and spoiled, saying that we would eat them when we went back. The apples are wilting and turning black!"
"I just want my grandmother to eat more, don't keep these things when I go back, just eat them, the old man is old, be kind to himself!" Lu Menglin said with a smile.
As soon as he said this, Lu's mother immediately understood her son's intentions, and she was so moved that she didn't know what to say.
The son has indeed grown up, his heart is so careful, he didn't even think about it as a mother, but he thought about it for his grandmother, what a good boy!
Grandma's eyes were red, and she pulled Lu Menglin's hands and stroked them gently, everything was silent.
"Grandma, you have to listen to me this time, and you have to eat all these things!
At this scene, even the little uncle and aunt were moved.
Although the packaging of these foods is opened, they have no way to give favors to others as gifts, but this child rarely has this heart, and it also makes them begin to reflect on whether they can be better to the old mother.
A filial piety can influence others.
