Chapter 253: Grandpa Lu passed away
Father Qiao got a little bit to send it to Grandpa Lan, he thought about it, and also sent a little to Grandpa Qiao and Grandma Qiao.
And in this weather, Qiao Xiangbai, who had been tormented, was even more serious, unable to get out of bed directly, and his hands and feet could not be bent and stretched.
Qiao's father quietly gave the ointment to Qiao Liu'an, knowing that the old man could finally sleep peacefully after using it, so he was relieved a lot.
Qiao Jiayue and her three brothers also went to see Grandpa Lan and found that the Lan family was a big change from before.
These five girls are very diligent, and after settling down at Grandpa Lan's house, they dare not relax in the slightest for fear of being kicked out again.
In the past, Grandpa Lan's grandfather and grandson were both rough men, and they could do limited things, and many details could not be taken into account, so it would naturally be chaotic to watch.
Now that there are a few more girls in the family, Lan Xiangbin was a little unaccustomed to it at first, and then he didn't feel anything.
They were cautious and didn't dare to eat more, let alone stop to rest, and the house was very clean inside and out, not to mention sewing.
Grandpa Lan finally doesn't have to poke himself with needles and threads, and he doesn't have to worry about anything else, and the whole person is a lot more comfortable.
As for Grandpa Lan and Lan Xiangbin, no one in the village dared to gossip about them, plus they didn't walk around in the village, so they didn't have much contact with the members.
Grandpa Lan has never been abusive, what they eat, a few girls also eat, and in less than half a month, this face became rosy.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, several girls also came to pay New Year's greetings to Qiao's father, thanking him for taking him in and giving them a place to stay.
Qiao's father accepted their thanks, and also warned them to keep to themselves, don't have thoughts that they shouldn't have, and wait for the New Year, they can go to school.
I don't know if a few girls have heard Qiao's father's words, in short, they are ecstatic to be able to read.
Father Qiao saw that Grandpa Lan was ill this time, Lan Xiangbin was busy serving, thought about it, and mentioned a few more words.
"Xiaobin, you should keep your distance from those girls, just because you are close in age, so don't give them unrealistic thoughts. ”
Grandpa Lan was born as a soldier, so he definitely wouldn't think so deeply.
In fact, Father Qiao wanted to arrange these girls separately, but Grandpa Lan stepped forward, so he naturally had to take the follow-up into account for him.
Several girls were born in poor families and used to be child daughters-in-law, but now that they have a different environment, they can eat and drink, and they will inevitably have other ideas.
Being a child daughter-in-law from different families will be treated differently, isn't it?
For these girls, they don't necessarily reject the name of child daughter-in-law in their hearts.
Grandpa Lan was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Lan Xiangbin on the side, this child is still young.
Lan Xiangbin frowned slightly, he had never thought about it this way, but it was scary to think that these girls might think that they were his child daughters-in-law.
Will their act of kindness lead to another problem?
"After the New Year, I will arrange for the women in the production team to take them, and at the same time build another room next door to your house. ”
"Being not under the same roof and looking out for each other may minimize the hassle. ”
Grandpa Lan didn't speak, and looked sideways at his grandson on the side, "Xiaobin, what do you think?"
Lan Xiangbin took a deep breath, "Just follow what the captain said." ”
Grandpa Lan may not know, but Lan Xiangbin knows, don't look at the children as small, but for those things in the adult world, they are actually ignorant.
Distances are indeed the best way to do it.
Father Qiao was satisfied, "Uncle, this is an ointment, let Xiaobin wipe it for you every two days, I'll go back first." ”
"Xiaobin, send your captain uncle. Grandpa Lan commanded.
Lan Xiangbin got up and sent Qiao's father out of a distance, "Uncle, I know what to do." ”
Father Qiao touched his head, "You're a smart kid, I know." ”
"What do you plan to do in the future?"
"My grandfather always wanted me to be a soldier, and if nothing else, I signed up as soon as I was old. ”
Father Qiao didn't squint when he heard this, "This is not an easy task. He couldn't help but think of his stupid eldest son, and it was very likely that he would follow Lan Xiangbin when the time came.
It's up to your child.
"I'll try. Lan Xiangbin lowered his eyes, even if what he really wanted to do was not this.
This year has been a little quiet, but every family has enough food, and it is not too happy to eat and sleep every day.
Now that the commune has not been notified to plant wheat anymore, there is no need to worry about the fields this winter, the people are resting, and the fields are also resting.
However, there are some brigades that still have planting, and they either sell them after planting, or keep them for their own consumption, which is not bad.
Qiao's father decided that after two years, after the situation stabilized, he would slowly complete the plan.
And with the tractor, you can run farther, maybe more.
After the Chinese New Year, the temperature did not rise, and everyone was a little worried about the poor development of the seedlings, for fear of delaying spring sowing.
Bai Ruosheng and Li A didn't dare to be idle for a while, and they squatted down to check the situation of the seedlings.
And the weather is cold, ploughing the field, repairing the ridge, etc. has become a chore, even if there are rubber shoes, it is not easy to use in the mud, once you fall into it, you can't pull it out.
The countryside is like this, no matter how bad the weather is, in order to eat, you have to do it, otherwise what do you have to fill your stomach?
Fortunately, everything went smoothly in the spring ploughing, and after the seedlings were planted, the Qingming Festival also passed, and the temperature began to warm up.
At this time, there was a news from the Changshan Brigade that Grandpa Lu was gone.
Everyone was stunned, the old man was gone, that was an old revolutionary, an old party member!
Anyone who received a funeral report had to go to mourn, and Grandpa Qiao, Grandpa Lan and others were among them.
The death of a loved one is always uncomfortable in people's hearts, making people feel that the world is impermanent and the difficulty of life and death.
Qiao's father, as in-laws, does not need to stay to help deal with the funeral, they only need to see them off when they are out of the funeral.
Grandpa Lu's tomb was chosen on Changyun Mountain, and the funeral needed to detour a long way, and there were a lot of people to see him off.
Many people admired this old man, and many even cried bitterly about it.
However, when a person dies like a lamp goes out, how to live after that is still how to live.
After Grandpa Lu passed away, the Lu family was separated, and Grandma Lu lived with the eldest family.
And Lu Aijun also separated from his parents, he planned to borrow money from Qiao's father, and then build two more houses.
The once huge Lu family has just dispersed, which is embarrassing to say.
And without the old man, those Lu family members who were in the city would not come back so often, let alone actively help.
Lu Aijun wants to get news from the city again in the future, but it is not so easy, and it is impossible to not produce more blood.
Fourth Aunt Qiao took the twins back to her parents' house, and she sighed, "I'll have to be busy in the future." ”
"It's okay to be busy, the days are getting better and better. Qiao's mother said with a smile, sewing clothes with her head down, the sewing machine is easy to use, but it is not so convenient to nail buttons and make buttonholes.
