Chapter 6: Ninghai Road House
The reason why Ninghai Town got its name is said to be because it is located in the southernmost part of the mainland, facing the sea, with a half-moon-shaped bay in the belly, and the bay is flat Haining, so it is named Ninghai. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 It is said that in ancient times, the Ninghai Sea was rough, and the big waves from the South China Sea often overturned fishing boats in the bay, flooded coastal villages, and brought heavy disasters to the coastal people. Later, a Lu farmer located on the east side of the bay remembered that his ancestor General Fubo Lu Bode had crossed the sea here to liberate the two counties of Zhuya and Dan'er, so why not use the prestige of General Fubo to suppress the waves in the South China Sea? So the descendants of the Lu family chose the site in Dongwan to build the Temple of General Fubo. The descendants of the Wang family who migrated from Fujian in Xiwan learned from the Lu family and built a seaside protector god - Mazu Temple in Xiwan. After the completion of the two large temples, the southernmost bay of the mainland has since been flattened in Haining, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the population has become more and more dense, becoming a famous fishing port town.
The home to the north of Ninghai Xingan Road is Lujia Village, which is located in the East Bay of Ninghai Bay. When I got home, my mother was the only one who said that my father and brother had gone to sea after lunch, but that they should be back soon. As soon as Minglan finished speaking, a swarthy man in a black water jacket carrying two fish baskets and a tall thin young man carrying a fishing net walked into the yard one after another. The young man in the back shouted, "Mom, brother, I'm back." This strong man is Zhao Minglan's husband, Lu Xiangbei's father Lu Decai, and the young man is Lu Xianghe, Lu Xiangbei's younger brother.
"Decai, Xiangyang, are you back? When it comes to Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here. Zhao Minglan responded.
Lu Xiangbei saw that his father's expression seemed to be a little tired, it should be that it was too hard to catch fish today, for this family, for their sisters and brothers, almost every day is like this silent hard work, there has never been any complaints, father's love is like a mountain. So he walked over to the two of them, and scooped a few scoops of water from the water tank onto the bucket to wash their hands.
"Brother, the sand chasing fish caught in the morning has been sold at noon, these fish are actually the fish in the cage of the boss of the king in the next village, today he caught the fish in the net, and asked us to help, this time I caught quite a lot, grouper, big white wax filled a small truck, I don't know how much money I have to make."
After knowing that he was catching fish with Wang's father, Lu Xiangbei started a plan to make money, so he replied to his younger brother with a very positive sentence: "We will earn more in the future." ”
"Uncle Wang gave us a few fish to bring back, and I will ask your mother to take one and steam the grouper, and we will have a good meal tonight." After Luther finished speaking, he patted the mud on his body, and then walked to the shower room to change his water clothes.
"To the north, to the river, do you want to eat grouper or sand tsui." Zhao Minglan asked.
Sha Tsui has always been Lu Xiangbei's favorite, especially the Sha Tsui fish in the East Bay Sea, the meat is delicious, the meat is delicate, and the taste is very good, but he drank a lot of wine today, and the wine has not yet dissipated, so he wants to eat a little lighter, so he said to Zhao Minglan: "The grouper is steamed, the Sha Tsui is boiled in soup, and if there are green vegetables, it is also fried on a plate." Xiang He then followed suit: "Mom, just follow what my brother said, but hurry up, I'm hungry." "Lu Xianghe, who had just turned sixteen, was growing his body, eating more and hungry faster.
"Okay, good, soon." Zhao Minglan responded, and then she picked out two large groupers from the fish basket, put them into two plastic bags and handed them to Lu Xiangbei: "Take two groupers to your grandfather and uncle to taste." After saying that, he picked up the last small grouper from the fish basket and walked into the kitchen to cook.
Lu Xiangbei's grandfather is called Lu Changtai, and has three sons and three daughters, the eldest son Lu Dewen is Lu Xiangbei's uncle, who works as a farmer at home, and the second son Lu Decai, who is Xiangbei's father, is also a half-farmer and half-fisherman at home, and a younger son named Lu Dehua settled in Pengcheng. Among the three daughters, the eldest daughter married to another county, and the other two younger daughters are in Ninghai Town. Among Lu Changtai's grandchildren, there are eight men and four women, namely Dasun Road to the east, Ersun Road to the south, Sansun Road to the west, Sisun Road to the north, Wusun Road to the river, Sixth Sun Road to the river, Seven Sun Road to the lake, and Eight Sun Road to the sea. Among them, the first three eldest grandsons and fifth grandsons are all Lu Dewen's, and the seventh and eighth grandchildren are Lu Dehua's. Lu Xiangbei and Lu Xianghe are siblings, and there is also a sibling sister Lu Xiaofang and a younger sister named Lu Xiaoyu, Lu Xiaofang is married to a child of the sugar factory, Lu Xiaoyu has just finished his second year of high school and is preparing to enter the third year of high school, and now he is making up classes in the county high school.
Although it is a blood lineage, the family relationship between Lu Dewen and Lu Decai and Lu Dehua brothers is not very close. There are three main reasons, one is that the eldest Lu Devon and the second and third are not the same mother; The second is that the eldest child's lack of maternal love when he was young caused his personality to be strange and suspicious, and it was difficult to get along with him, and Lu Changtai felt that he owed his eldest son too much, so he was more tolerant of his inappropriate behavior; The third is that the wife married by the eldest is short-sighted and has a strong personality, while Lu Dewen is afraid of his wife.
Although the grandfather and uncle did not like to see Lu Xiangbei's family, this did not affect Lu Xiangbei and his mother's tolerance and friendliness towards them. The north of the road took the fish to the grandfather's house first, and after the uncle settled outside, the grandparents lived by themselves, but fortunately they were still in good health. Although Lu Changtai did not wait to see Lu Xiangbei's mother Zhao Minglan, he was still a little happy about Lu Xiangbei's arrival, after all, Lu Xiangbei was the first of his grandsons to be admitted to university and the first to become a cadre. And at the uncle's house, he was not so enthusiastic, even if Lu Xiangbei brought him fish, so Lu Xiangbei put down the fish, said a few words and left.
As soon as she got home, her mother Zhao Minglan made a steaming dinner, and Lu Decai also took out a bottle of rice wine and drank it to the north, and asked with concern: "How was the first day of work, did it go well?" ”
"Now I am temporarily arranged to be familiar with the government work in the party and government office, and after a while, the leaders will set specific departments for me."
"It's good if it's going well, but what is this party and government office in charge of?" Zhao Minglan interjected and asked.
"Generally speaking, the party and government office is the steward of the party committee and the government, and the party and government are under the management of document drafting, file management, meeting arrangement, vehicle scheduling and logistics reception. It's like you're in our house, and you're in charge of everything. Lu Xiangbei was afraid that his mother would not understand, so he tried to introduce it in layman's terms.
"With so much care, will you have a hard time with that son?" Zhao Minglan then asked.
Without waiting for Lu Xiangbei to answer, Lu Decai said: "Young people just have to work more to have a chance." I think back then, when I was in the production team, I was rushing to work, doing all the heavy work, so the captain was very important to me, and I was a party member who helped me fight for it at that time. Luther Cai's face was full of pride.
Xiang He, who had relatively few words in himself, couldn't help but say: "Dad is reminiscing about the past again." ”
"Your father, it's just that you worked a lot back then, which caused you to have such a physical problem now. Besides, he worked so hard that he didn't have much food at home. It seems that her husband may not be able to recall the past, Zhao Minglan stomped on Lu Decai's feet with words, and stepped Lu Decai, who was full of pride, back to reality from the long sky of time. Although his wife's words were a little harsh, they were also realistic.
Lu Boguang, the earliest ancestor of the Dongwan Lu family, was originally the brother of Lu Bode, the general of Fubo, who followed Lu Bode to fight in Lingnan, and for some reason did not return to the Central Plains with the large army, but took root in Ninghai Bay and spread his branches. After thousands of years of vicissitudes of history, the Lu family has been brilliant and declined, especially in the late Qing Dynasty when it was attacked by pirates and the turmoil of the land bandits, many descendants of the Lu family fled in all directions, and now the population of the Lu family in Dongwan has not exceeded 3,000 people.
Lu Decai is famous for his hardships and hard work among the children of the Lu family, but in the era of Dabaogan, he and his father and younger brother have not yet separated, and the family has a large population, and the eldest daughter Lu Xiaofang has been added. Fortunately, soon after the birth of his son Lu Xiangbei, the whole country began to implement the household contract system, and the fields were divided into households. With his own land, the hard-working Lu Decai can be regarded as a real usefulness, and in addition to farming, he is also engaged in fishing, and a family of six is mixed with food and clothing. But at that time, I contributed too much effort in the production team, and accumulated a lot of dark diseases, and there was nothing abnormal when I was young, but now that I am getting older, these dark diseases are becoming more and more obvious. Fortunately, the children have stable jobs when they grow up, and they are quite obedient in their studies, which is a lot of peace of mind.
Thinking of his children, Lu Decai became energetic again, picked up the wine glass and said to Lu Xiangbei: "Your mother has long hair and short knowledge, you are a party member, and now you are a national cadre. ”
"Dad, Mom is caring about you. But you're right, whether it's for the farmer or the family, I won't let you down. Come, I salute you with this cup of wine, thank you for your nurturing grace, I love you. Lu Xiangbei picked up the wine glass and dried it with his father, and then put a piece of cauliflower in Zhao Minglan's bowl, and said, "Mom, cauliflower has many vitamins and is good for your health, you eat more." “
Lu Decai and his wife were a little unaccustomed to their son's direct expression of love with words, but their son's act of love still made them deeply gratified, and their faces unconsciously smiled with relief. Especially Zhao Minglan, her heart is overflowing with a deep sense of happiness. As the saying goes, children are the hearts and minds of parents, and if there is a child who is sensible and cares about his parents, how can parents have a reason not to be happy? Love, sometimes you have to say it.
With Lu Xiangdong's intimate words and deeds, the Lu family's dinner was warm and warm. In this atmosphere, the family chatted a lot, and Lu Xiangdong also put forward a lot of ideas about the future development of the family, and it made Zhao Decai and his wife full of joy, and for a while, the Lu family was full of warm warmth and full of happiness.
