The surnames of Laojun Mountain Village are mainly Wang and Lu. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The ancestral hall is the place where the family worships their ancestors, and the ancestral hall surnamed Wang is guarded by the Wang family, and in the east of the village, the surname Wang is the surname of the old village chief, and the current village chief Li Chengkai is just a son-in-law.

The ancestral hall of the Lu family is in the west of the village, and the ancestral hall guarded by Widow Chen in the mouth of Village Chief Li is the ancestral hall of the Lu family.

As there are fewer and fewer old people in the village, and all the young people are working outside, buying houses, and settling down, the ancestral hall in the village is becoming more and more decayed.

In Zhejiang, Fujian and southern Guangdong, family ancestral halls are still very prosperous, but Jiangning Province is close to the Yangtze River, and the custom of worshipping ancestral halls is far less than that of those provinces further south.

When Lin Lei and Lu Yun came to the Lu ancestral hall, they couldn't help but sigh a little, this place was really withered.

There is a large courtyard left in the ancestral hall of the Lu family, the archway outside the ancestral hall has been demolished before, it should be the time when the road through the village is built, the archway is blocking the road. There are also some remnants of buildings such as pillars on the side of the road, which seem to silently tell the history of this place.

The green bricks on the courtyard wall have been very old, but Lin Lei noticed that the entire front of the ancestral hall was cleaned quite cleanly.

Lin Lei turned his head to Lu Yun beside him and said, "It seems that Widow Chen is also a hardworking person. ”

Lu Yun nodded: "Well, the Lu ancestral hall looks a little dilapidated from the outside, but it is quite neat." ”

Lin Lei and Lu Yun walked into the Lilu ancestral hall side by side, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, Lin Lei saw Widow Chen.

Although he was in his forties and dressed very plainly, Lin Lei still felt that his eyes suddenly lit up......

Widow Chen was plucking corn in the yard, and when she saw the living people coming in, she immediately stood up vigilantly.

However, when she looked at Lin Lei and Lu Yun's dress and temperament, she suddenly didn't know how to speak, but just looked at them sneeringly.

Before Lin Lei could speak, Lu Yun went straight to the point: "Hello Aunt Chen, we are staff sent by the Civil Affairs Bureau, mainly to check the situation of our Laojunshan Village Five Guarantee Households." ”|

As soon as Widow Chen heard that it was from the Civil Affairs Bureau, she immediately came back to her senses, and her face was full of smiles: "Oh, it's a comrade from the Civil Affairs Bureau, please take a seat, please take a seat." ”

As she spoke, Widow Chen took out two stools from the back room and moved them to Lin Lei and Lu Yun......

On the way to the Lu ancestral hall, Lin Lei agreed with Lu Yun, Lu Yun was responsible for "talking", and Lin Lei was responsible for checking the situation around.

After all, Lu Yun is a woman, and if she communicates with Widow Chen, her vigilance is not so heavy.

As a member of the "Civil Affairs Bureau", Lin Lei came to the homes of the five guarantees households to investigate and check around.

Lu Yun had already chatted with Widow Chen, and then Lin Lei spoke: "Aunt Chen, since we are conducting a household survey, we need to look around, don't you mind? I'll just go and see it myself, my colleague still has questions for you......"

Widow Chen didn't think too much, nodded and said, "Well, comrade, look at it casually, the conditions in my house will definitely not exceed the standard." ”

In Widow Chen's view, Lin Lei and the others came to check whether their family's family conditions exceeded the standard -- the monthly money of the five guarantee households was very important to her, so she absolutely could not offend the people of the "Civil Affairs Bureau".

On the east side of the courtyard of the ancestral hall is a large hall, which enshrines the tablets of the ancestors of the Lu family. The gate is on the west side, while on the north and south sides are a row of bungalows.

To the south are four utility rooms, which in the early days were supposed to be a place for incense and candles, but now they are filled with all kinds of things commonly used by farmers.

To the north are two bungalows, one is the kitchen, and the other is supposed to be where Widow Chen lived.

Lin Lei didn't go to the bedroom, but went straight to the kitchen......

Widow Chen turned her back to Lin Lei, she didn't know how Lin Lei checked, anyway, her family had nothing to see, a proper five-guarantee household level.

And Lu Yun saw Lin Lei going straight to the kitchen with the peripheral vision of his eyes, and couldn't help but twitch his brows slightly.

Don't look at the bedroom, look at the kitchen first, what kind of routine is Lin Lei?

In just a short moment, Lu Yun returned to normal and continued to "talk" with Widow Chen.

On the other side, Lin Lei slowly walked into the kitchen of Widow Chen's house.

It makes sense that Lin Lei doesn't look at the bedroom and looks at the kitchen.

In the city, depending on the family conditions, it must be the living room, bedroom, etc., but it is different in the countryside.

Especially for a five-guarantee household like Widow Chen, there is nothing to look at in the bedroom, and you can basically guess it.

But-

The things in the kitchen, however, are the most indicative of her living situation.

Is it meat eating?

Or vegetarian?

Is there anything like sausage bacon?

How much rice is in the rice bowl?

Is there enough vegetable oil in the oil drum?

However, the most critical thing that Lin Lei wanted to know in his heart was not these, but ......

Lin Lei walked into the kitchen, and didn't look at the rice jar or the oil drum, what he saw was a little inexplicable.

Lin Lei went straight to the cupboard—the dishes and chopsticks that Lin Lei was obviously using regularly in the cupboard!

After carefully observing and counting, Lin Lei's brows furrowed tightly......

Lin Lei took out a cigarette and lit it.

It wasn't until the cigarette was about to burn out, and after pondering for a long time, Lin Lei turned around and walked out of the kitchen.

Next, Lin Lei walked into Widow Chen's bedroom, there was nothing to say in the bedroom, it was all household items, and it could be seen that Widow Chen's family was indeed poor.

But unexpectedly, there was no Widow Chen's son on the bed, Lu Hope.

Isn't Lu Hope a child with cerebral palsy?

Why wasn't it in bed?

Lin Lei walked to the bed, touched the futon, and looked at the pillow carefully......

Lin Lei "investigated" in the bedroom for five minutes before he walked out of the bedroom.

"Aunt Chen, what about your family's hope, why don't you see him?" Lin Lei shouted as soon as he came out of the bedroom.

Widow Chen's face was not shocked, and she said slowly: "I hope his grandparents will take him away, I will take him for fifteen days every month, and his grandparents will take him for fifteen days." As you know, I can't always stay by my side when I look at such a large ancestral hall alone. His mind was sometimes foggy, he would fall out of bed if he was not careful, and sometimes he would ...... Sometimes I can't control my bowel and bowel movements. ”

At this point, Widow Chen's expression darkened.

Lin Lei walked to Widow Chen's side, sat on the stool, and nodded in understanding.

Lu Yun's inquiring gaze looked at Lin Lei, but Lin Lei avoided her gaze and just stared at Widow Chen.

Lin Lei had finished smoking his previous cigarette, and now he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it...... (To be continued.) )
