Chapter 811: Returning Home
The Spring Festival is said to be a big day for people all over the country to celebrate, but for the Lu family, it is actually not so festive. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Especially for Lu Heng!
Because of the old past of his grandmother's serious illness and no one to borrow money, the relationship between Lu Youcheng and his wife and the Lu family is not good, and they usually don't move around at all.
The three brothers of the Lu family usually come and go, but the frequency is not so frequent.
It is precisely because of this that when it comes to the New Year, Lu Heng is very idle.
There is nowhere to go, so I simply stay at home to read books and play games.
often have to stay up like this until the third day of the first lunar month, when the two brothers Lu Youfa and Lu Youde returned to the eldest brother Lu Youcheng's house with their respective families and went to Mengjiao to sweep the tomb together, Lu Heng's family seemed to be much more lively.
This year may be different, as Lu Youcheng opened three clothing stores in Cangshou in a row, business is booming, and his reputation gradually spreads back to his hometown.
Lu Heng didn't encounter those scenes, but he knew that in private, his mother had talked to him.
The meaning of the words is also very simple, that is, after all, they are all relatives, and the relationship still has to go up, people, who has not yet gone to memorize the word, if something happens in the future, relatives are better than friends to support some.
Of course, Lu Heng scoffed, but he didn't show it in front of his parents.
He also knows the thoughts of these older generations, even if they talk about it behind their backs, and when they meet, they still have to greet each other with a smile.
Moreover, the so-called relatives refer to people who are related by blood or smoke, not to mention thick and water, but there are a few people who live in this world who can really give up.
On the third day of the first lunar month, the Lu family set their own New Year's tomb sweeping festival, and a group of nine people and four cars drove from Cangshou City to Mengjiao.
The village-to-village project is well done, at least Lu Heng and his small convoy can easily drive to the village through a cement road that is not wide or narrow.
The four cars are the old Santana of the third uncle's family, the Nissan Teana and Volkswagen Polo of the second uncle's family, and the Volkswagen Passat of Lu Heng's family.
Lu Heng didn't drive his own car, whether it was Mercedes-Benz or Land Rover, in this kind of village, it was too ostentatious.
He also has his own thoughts in his heart, when he comes back this time, he may have dinner at the uncle's house, which is the relative who has been in contact with the most frequently and recovered the fastest since the Lu family's career.
As for the reason, it is nothing more than that Lu Youcheng's family has changed from a poor family back then to a small rich man now.
A few mid-range models are enough, if Lu Heng drives his own car, he can't guarantee whether these "poor relatives" will fight with the snake and make some uncomfortable or even disgusting requests, but it is difficult for you to refuse head-on.
The easiest: help juniors arrange jobs, borrow some money, solve school problems, and so on.
In his bones, Lu Heng was very disgusted with these things, so he simply came in a low-key manner.
However, in Lu Heng's opinion, it is a low-key enough team, but in the eyes of others in the village, it is a great luxury.
"Do you know, the three brothers of Lu Chaoyang's family came back to sweep the grave. ”
"What's so strange about this, I saw the three brothers in Qinggangling burning incense during the Chinese New Year the year before last, and it's not like that. ”
"Hey, Liu Guisan, you don't know, this time is different from the previous times. In the past, the big guys in the village knew that they would come back to burn incense during the New Year's holidays, but they didn't come quietly and left without eating. But this time is different, the three brothers came back in four cars, carrying large bags of gifts, it seems that they are going to Lu Chaofu's house to pay New Year's greetings. ”
"Hey, four cars, it's terrible, it's terrible, which of the three brothers made a fortune?"
"In my opinion, it should be Lu Xiaoer, that is, Lu Youfa. Because when I was just passing by, I saw Lu Xiaoer driving a car, and his daughter, who was still in college, also drove one. But it's not for sure, didn't Lu Youqing's mother-in-law say that she ran into Lu's daughter-in-law when she went to the city to buy clothes, and they also opened three or four clothing stores in the city, and the business was very good. ”
"It's terrible, after Lu Chaofu and Lu Chaoyang separated, Lu Chaofu's life became more and more prosperous, and his son Lu Youqing was also angry, and went out to work on the construction site for two years, and then went home to build a three-story house with tiles. At that time, the whole village looked down on Lu Chaoyang, a sick seedling, and died after a few years of marriage. As a result, feng shui took turns, and twenty years passed in the blink of an eye, and it was Lu Chaoyang's turn to return to their hometown. ”
"yes, who can say for sure. However, if you want me to see it, Lu Chaoyang is still more powerful. Not to mention how much money they make, just look at the next generation, Lu Youqing's son went out with him to run the construction site before graduating from junior high school. But I heard that the three sons and daughters of the three brothers are all famous college students, one of them, you know, just last year our village only got into one, and the village chief rewarded her with 5,000 yuan. It's not a famous university, it's just an ordinary school, and the children of the three brothers go to Chongqing University, which is famous all over the country. ”
.........
Not to mention how these villagers who have been facing the loess all their lives talk about the three brothers of the Lu family, as far as Lu Heng has seen all the way, he only feels warm and cold, and it is very clear on this festive day of the New Year.
In the past, they also came back every year to burn incense, but there were very few people who greeted them along the way, and most of them looked in a hurry, and they couldn't say a word when they stayed.
But today, it was obviously ten minutes' walk from the Lu family's old house, but he was delayed by his enthusiastic fellow villagers for more than half an hour.
There were so many people who deliberately came up to say hello along the way.
"Isn't this Lu Xiaoer, who made a fortune outside! Come back today to incense your parents?"
Lu Youfa stopped and looked at the man in front of a brick house, how did the brand-new suit look like it didn't match on his body.
Lu Youfa smiled and nodded, and took out a pack of cigarettes for the man to smoke.
"Yes, burn some paper money for my parents, and let them have something to spend below. Come smoke, smoke!"
"Yo, Zhonghua, I originally wanted to give you a cigarette, but you have to smoke at least forty or fifty cigarettes, then I'll smoke yours." ”
Lu Xiaomei on the side pursed her lips, the cigarette was given by someone else when her mother's work unit, a pack was not more than forty or fifty, at least ninety-nine.
Lu You laughed and didn't say anything, so he stopped and chatted with the man for a while.
Basically, those who greeted a few people in the Lu family all the way were close to the second uncle first.
The second uncle has a relatively smooth personality, from childhood to adulthood, he can mix everywhere.
The third uncle has a loud voice, a hard temper, and is irritable, and he is the most difficult to deal with with the people in the village, and he can't get used to those faces.
As for Lu Youcheng, if you talk about it now, he has had good academic performance since he was a child, and he is an out-and-out nerd who just studies with his head bored. Although society has changed a lot in the past 20 years, in the eyes of his old family, he is still a nerd.
After chatting here for a while, Lu Heng and his party set off again and embarked on the road back to the old house.
As the name suggests, the village has several large stone quarries, and there are not a few villagers who live by beating stones in those years, so it was renamed Shimen Village.
At that time, the Lu family had two brothers, the old mainland was rich, the second Lu Chaoyang, and Lu Heng's grandfather was Lu Chaoyang.
Later, after the family was separated, the eldest got a brick house in the center of the village that was handed down, and Grandpa Lu Heng set up another house and built his own house at a high place far from the center of the village.
It is the kind of house where bamboo pieces are wrapped in mud as walls, and it is in this kind of room that Grandpa Lu Heng married a virtuous and virtuous grandmother, and then gave birth to three brothers of the Lu family.
Later, considering that there were more children, Grandpa Lu Heng thought day and night, this is not good!
He dragged his sick body to the stone field to dig stones, and after a few years, he renovated the original mud and bamboo house into a bluestone house, which was at least much stronger.
However, in this way, the already bad body was completely dragged down, and he died before Lu Heng, a grandchild, was born, and he didn't even see his daughter-in-law.
So next, it was Grandma Lu Heng who planted crops, grinded tofu and sold it alone, and fed her three children.
even confessed Lu Youcheng, a college student who was shocked back then!
Standing on the bluestone stairs, looking up at the corner of the bluestone house hidden by the lush bamboo forest at the heights, Lu Youcheng took off his glasses and sighed.
"There is hair and virtue, let them tidy up the old house, let's go to the uncle to visit. ”
Lu Youfa took a puff of his cigarette, took the gift bag from his wife Guan Xuan, and agreed.
Lu Youde raised his eyebrows and shook his hands.
"If you want to see that old fellow, go by yourself, don't take me with you, I won't deal with him! I'll go back and see if the ditch behind the house has been washed away by muddy water, and if the homestead is blistered, the old man will crawl out of the coffin and kill us. ”
ps: Note: Chongqing dialect - old man = father
Xiaoyu is not very old in this life, but there are five kinds of houses she lives in.
The house made of bamboo and mud that my parents got separately, the bluestone house of my grandmother's house, the red brick and blue tile house that my parents built for 3,000 yuan when I was six years old, the 15-square-meter demolition house that my parents rented when they left their hometown, and the elevator house I bought now.
In addition to the new house I live in now, the other four houses have lived in it for more than five years, and my memory is particularly fresh.
This year's Chinese New Year, if the book is not finished, it may be broken for more than three days, the reason is very simple, my grandmother's bluestone house, and the ditch behind my brick house are filled with mud and stagnant water, and I have to pick up soil to drain the water.
After all, with your support, I can earn eight or nine thousand a month in this book, which is already a very powerful and powerful young man for the poor old family, and it belongs to the high-quality resources among the blind dates.
Hahaha....... The shameless author of the thief
