Chapter 10: Ask Uncle Jianmin for help
"Uncle Jianmin, Uncle Jianmin, are you at home?" Lu Chaoyi shouted outside Lu Jianmin's house.
Lu Chaoyi's house is in the south of the village, and Lu Jianmin's house is in the northeast of the village, and there are several families between the two families.
"Who?"
A young woman's voice came from inside the wall, which should be the voice of Lu Jianmin's wife, He Xing.
"Aunt Axing, I'm Ayi, is Uncle Jianmin at home?"
"It's Ayi, the door is not latched, and I'm coming in. ”
Lu Chaoyi pushed the door in, and saw Sister-in-law A Xing and her mother-in-law sorting out the fishing line.
"Aunt Axing is good, Grandma Fang is good. ”
Lu Chaoyi greeted him as soon as he entered the door.
"Come and sit down. Aunt A Xing greeted Lu Chaoyi: "Do you have anything to do with Brother Amin?" Brother Amin, he went to the county to buy something, but he is coming back soon. ”
He Xing's family is also a village, He Xing and Lu Jian grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and later the two got married and became a family. He Xing has a gentle temperament and is a woman who is as gentle as water.
"It's okay, I'll just wait, I'm idle anyway. ”
Lu Chaoyi said and helped his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sort out the fishing line. These fishing lines are used to mend fishing nets, and the fishing line must be wound in a shuttle so that it is convenient to mend the fishing nets.
"Child, you don't have to do this, you just rest. There is a melon that Amin bought in the house, and you can come into the house and eat it. ”
Grandma Fang didn't let Lu Chaoyi do the work, but Lu Chaoyi didn't listen.
"Grandma Fang, I will roll the thread, it won't be messy, you can rest assured. Lu Chaoyi said as he skillfully rolled the thread.
Grandma Fang didn't say anything when she saw that she didn't listen, Grandma Fang was a quiet but very kind old man.
During the period of rebirth, Lu Chaoyi had already figured out almost everything about the situation in the village. This is the ability she learned by herself in society in her previous life.
Grandma Fang is the stepfamily of Uncle Jianmin's father, and she is a widow who remarries. Back then, Grandma Fang took a three-year-old daughter to marry Uncle Jianmin's father Lu Zhenping, who was Lu Zhenping's second wife. Lu Zhenping and his first wife had a son and a daughter, and his first wife died of illness when his daughter Lu Xiaoqiu was ten years old. At that time, Lu Zhenping's son Lu Jianzhou was thirteen years old. Two years after the death of his first wife, Lu Zhenping was introduced to Jian Shumin's mother, Grandma Fang.
The two had Uncle Jianmin in the second year after they got married. When Uncle Jianmin was five years old, Lu Zhenping went to sea to fish and accidentally fell into the water, and his bones remained. Lu Jianzhou, who was married at that time, and Lu Xiaoqiu, who was already married, broke up after Lu Zhenping's death, and drove Grandma Fang's mother and son out of the house.
Grandma Fang was penniless with her nine-year-old daughter and five-year-old son. Grandma Lu, who is also a widow, sympathized with the three of them, so she let the mother and son live in the house. Father Lu and Uncle Jianmin are three or four years apart, and the little brothers are very compatible. Grandma Fang's mother and son have lived in the Lu family for more than ten years, and the two widows raised three children, and it was not until Wang Xiaofen got married that Grandma Fang's family moved out of the Lu family.
It can be said that Father Lu is his own brother in Uncle Jianmin's heart, which is also the reason why Uncle Jianmin helped Lu Chaoyi.
Lu Chaoyi and Aunt A Xing were busy chatting.
"Auntie, what about Brother Anan and Brother Xiaobei?"
Because although Uncle Jianmin is younger than Father Lu, he got married earlier than Father Lu. Lu Chaonan and Lu Chaoyi were born in the same year, but Lu Chaonan was older. Lu Chaobei is only two years younger than Lu Chaoyi.
"They had no time to stay, so they went with the village children to dig a puddle on the beach. ”
When the tide recedes, there are large and small puddles, which are generally not deep and relatively safe, which is the paradise of the 80s and 90-year-olds in the village. The sea is too dangerous, and the adults are not allowed to let the children go into the sea, and of course the children also know that the sea is dangerous, so they all play in the puddles.
Generally, there are adults on the beach, which is an uncommon agreement in the village, no matter who is at home, the adults will help watch the children in the village at the beach. If you are an adult in this family today, you may be an adult in that family tomorrow, so the adults in the village will not worry even if they know that their children are going to the beach. Of course, Xiao Lu Chaoyi's time was an accident. Accidents and emergencies are always inevitable.
"Brother Anan and Brother Xiaobei are good at water, maybe they can get good things today. "The children at the beach are masters of swimming and playing in the water.
Aunt Xing: "I don't ask them to catch a fish or catch a crab and come back, they can pick up a pound of conch and come back enough to cook soup, and I will be content." ”
This person didn't read it casually, and as soon as Aunt Xing's words fell outside the wall, there was the laughter of the brothers facing south and north.
"Mom, grandma, we caught a fish, a big fish, a big red fish. ”
The door was pushed open with a bang, and Lu Chaobei rushed in, and Lu Chaonan followed in with a plastic bucket.
"Sister Ayi. ”
Lu Chaobei saw Lu Chaoyi showing a bright smile at Lu Chaoyi, and his clean and enthusiastic smile made people's hearts warm. Lu Chaoyi also greeted the brothers.
"Brother Xiaobei, Brother Anan. ”
"Sister Ayi. ”
Lu Chaonan put down the bucket next to Aunt Xing: "Mom, grandma, look at the big fish that Xiaobei and I caught." ”
Aunt A Xing looked into the bucket, and it was really a big red fish that looked like seven or eight catties.
"Yo, such a big red fish. Our family Xiaonan Xiaobei is capable. ”
"Mom, look at the big fish your grandson caught. ”
Aunt A Xing showed the fish to Grandma Fang, and Grandma Fang showed a kind smile on her face when she saw the vicissitudes of the fish.
"Xiaonan and Xiaobei are powerful, better than your father, and Jianmin can catch a small fish and catch a crab when he is as old as you. ”
Lu Chaonan and Lu Chaobei brothers were very happy, and it was the first time they caught such a big fish, and they were praised again, and the brothers were happy.
"Really? Grandma, we're better than Dad. Boys always worship their father, Lu Chaoyi looked at the energetic brothers, she thought of her younger brother Lu Chaoyuan, and had some thoughts in her heart.
Lu Chaobei said happily, his voice was very loud.
"Better than me, what's better than me?" Lu Jianmin came in with a bicycle, and there was a box tied to the back seat of the car.
"You two stinky boys are more powerful than your dad and me, tell me about it. ”
The two brothers were caught and caught, but Lu Chaobei reacted quickly.
"Dad, you're back. ”
"Dad, Sister Ayi is here. ”
Only then did Lu Jianmin find out that Lu Chaoyi was also there.
"Ayi, why are you here?"
"Uncle Jianmin, you're back. ”
Lu Chaoyi said hello, and Aunt A Xing had already gotten up to untie the things in the back seat of the car.
"You're back, Ayi has something to do with you. ”
"Ayi is looking for something to do with me, let's go, let's go into the house and talk. ”
Lu Jianmin handed the bicycle to Lu Chaonan, called Lu Chaoyi into the house, asked Lu Chaoyi to sit down, and poured Lu Chaoyi a cup of boiling water.
"What's the matter, is it Aunt Chun or Xiaoyuan......"
Lu Jianmin thought that Grandma Lu and Lu Chaoyuan were worried about something, but Lu Chaoyi hurriedly said, "No, it's my own business." I want to ask Uncle Jianmin to accompany me to find Principal Fu of County No. 1 Middle School, I want to study at County No. 1 Middle School. ”
"What? You want to study in the county No. 1 middle school, didn't you get into the city No. 1 middle school? Are you not going to go to the city No. 1 middle school?"
Lu Jianmin asked in surprise.
"Is it not enough tuition? You don't have to worry about the lack of tuition, and me. Uncle will support you, you can rest assured to study. ”
Lu Jianmin thought that Lu Chaoyi gave up studying in the No. 1 Middle School because of insufficient tuition, and immediately expressed his support for Lu Chaoyi. When he was studying, his family had no money or Aunt Chun paid for him to study, and he remembered this kindness.
"It's not about the tuition, it's enough. Uncle Jianmin before, I saved all the money you took me to sell seafood. ”
Lu Chaoyi is rich, not to mention the first day of selling seafood, even she has saved a lot of money from selling seafood every day these days. Most of the family's money was handed over to Grandma Lu, and Lu Chaoyi secretly saved some of it.
This is a habit she brought with her previous life, and she will not feel safe if she does not save some money by her side.
If she can really only go to the No. 1 Middle School in the city, she also has the ability to earn enough tuition. It's just that she doesn't want to go to City No. 1 Middle School, and in her opinion, it is the same for her to go to middle school.
"It's not about tuition, why is that? Why don't you want to go to the No. 1 Middle School in the city? The No. 1 Middle School in the city is a key middle school in our city. Lu Jianmin disagreed with Lu Chaoyi's refusal to go to the city No. 1 Middle School to study.
"Uncle Jianmin, grandma is young and older, Xiaoyuan is still young, and I don't feel at ease when I am far away from home. The county No. 1 middle school is close to home, so I can go home every day, take care of my grandmother and Xiaoyuan, and also let me study with peace of mind. Seeing what Lu Jianmin wanted to say, Lu Chaoyi interrupted him: "Uncle Jianmin, I know what you mean, and I also know that you want to help, but if I don't take care of my grandmother and Xiaoyuan personally, I won't be at ease, and I won't be able to settle down to study." ”
"In addition, because of Sister Miaozhen's matter, I am also afraid in my heart. Uncle Jianmin, I don't want to go to City No. 1 Middle School. ”
Hearing Lu Chaoyi mention He Miaozhen, Lu Jianmin was silent for a while, frowning and worried. Thinking that Lu Chaoyi might also encounter something like He Miaozhen, Lu Jianmin was worried, and figured out that it was good for Lu Chaoyi to go to the county No. 1 Middle School, close to home, he could also take care of it.
"Okay. I also know Principal Fu, and I will take you to Principal Fu tomorrow to get things done as soon as possible. ”
Lu Jianmin also attached great importance to Lu Chaoyi's schooling, so he wanted to implement it immediately.
"Thank you, Uncle Jianmin. "Lu Chaoyi is truly grateful.
"Didn't you say that, no thanks. Lu Jianmin rubbed Lu Chaoyi's head, just like a father to his daughter.
"You go back and get ready, and I'll call you tomorrow." ”
