Chapter 39: The Joy of Family

The more than two-hour drive, in the warm group chat with classmates in QQ, passed quickly.

After coming down from the highway for more than ten minutes, the car entered the jurisdiction of Zailai Town, where Lu Xi's hometown was located.

On the cement road that is not too straight, there is a lot of traffic, and large trucks with several wheels and more than a dozen wheels are fully loaded, and they are very busy.

On both sides of the road, there are endless lychee forests, and on each lychee tree, there are bunches of red agate-like fruits, which are dizzying.

The mountains and forests of a hundred miles are red, and it is tempting!

Lu Xi didn't expect to be reborn in a lychee fruit town.

In her previous life, although she was also a southerner, it was south of the Yangtze River, where had she seen this lychee all over the mountains.

This is the rhythm of eating 300 lychees a day!

Foodie Lu Xi was shocked and stunned.

"Want to eat lychees?" Lu Jichen noticed Lu Xi's abnormality.

"Do you have one at home?" Lu Xi was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Although our family hasn't taken care of the mountains, forests and fields in the past two or three years, isn't the orchard handed over to the second uncle's family, how can you not eat lychees, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat so much." Lu Jichen said with a smile.

"Are there so many?"

"This year's fruits are all very good, and it is estimated that I can pick 60,000 or 70,000 catties."

As soon as the concubine laughed at the red dust, these sixty or seventy thousand catties, Lu Xi's eyes were directly bent into a crescent moon.

The car passed through the center of the town and turned into a village road.

The village road is slightly narrower than the village road, and the only thing that remains unchanged is the boundless lychee forest.

After walking on the village road for about ten minutes, Lu Xi saw the words "Daoxiang Village" on a big stone standing on the side of the road in front of him from a distance, and knew that he was returning to his own village.

Daoxiang Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the mountain is Lychee Mountain, the water is the river, the two banks of the river more than ten meters wide are the green and yellow rice fields, the summer wind blows, and the rice waves are surging.

Because it had just rained for a long time, and the river was still a little muddy, the terrain of Daoxiang Village was quite undulating, and Lu Xi could hear the sound of the river flowing by.

And between the mountains and the water, the buildings of three or five floors or high or low are irregularly embellished, presenting a peaceful landscape and idyllic scenery.

Lu Xi didn't have time to take a few more looks, and the car drove to a beautiful and stylish country house.

A combination of Chinese and Western, the two-and-a-half-storey villa with red bricks and green tiles is built next to a two-meter-wide stream, surrounded by mountains and rivers, which is very meaningful.

As soon as the car approached the villa, and before it stopped, a Wang Xingren screamed from the villa, rushed over quickly, and shouted and jumped with joy in front of the car.

The car stopped, Lu Xi opened the door, just got down and stood still, without saying hello, Wang Xingren ran over by himself.

It has a slightly darkened short beak, a flat forehead, tall, straight ears, and fluffy yellow fur, more than 30 centimeters tall, very similar to the appearance of a wolf.

There is no doubt that this is a smart, family-loving, guardian-of-the-Lord, very territorial, typical Chinese pastoral dog.

Dog meat!

Don't get me wrong, it's not a black, two yellow, three flowers and four white, but when the predecessor Lu Xi named her puppy, he didn't take the usual path and took what Ah Huang Wangcai, but the sword went sideways, and he came to a "dog meat" very willfully.

The average Chinese pastoral dog has not undergone special training, and its obedience will be relatively poor. However, Dog Meat looked very obedient, and seemed to remember that Lu Xi had a slight cleanliness habit, so he did not stand in front of him, but surrounded her while shaking his head and waving his tail with joy.

It's so cute, Lu Xi couldn't help but stretch out his left hand.

Then Dog Meat also raised its "right hand" and shook it happily with Lu Xi.

Then Lu Xi finally remembered more about dog meat, which she picked up by the river when she was in the sixth grade of elementary school.

At that time, the one-month-old puppy was already dying, and after Lu Xi's careful care, it did not die. Because she was raised by Lu Xi, Dog Meat has a deep affection for her, and she knows everything about the orders she gave to shake hands, sit down, lie down, pretend to be dead, turn in circles, and pick up things.

Of course, it was only her order, and the others were even the words of the third brother Lu Jichen, because Lu Jichen often scolded and threatened to eat its meat, and it always ignored it and didn't take it seriously.

For example, now, Lu Jichen scolded it: "Dog meat, don't make trouble." ”

It assumed that it did not hear, and only circled around the landing.

It wasn't until an old woman in her seventies came out of the house that it became a little more honest.

The old woman's hair is half white, her spirit is strong, and she has a kindness that makes people intended, it is Lu Xi's mother Deng Yufang.

She smiled and looked Lu Xi up and down a few times, before she said with some distress: "It's good to come back, but I've lost a lot of weight." ”

"Mom." At this moment, Lu Xi's mood is very complicated, but it is natural to call this sound, like an instinctive reaction and conditioned reflex from the body.

Lu Xi, who was born as an orphan in his previous life, has longed for family affection and family happiness since he was a child, but God's will has made him unable to realize this wish. Now, she has inherited a piece of this body, and with a loving mother, she naturally has to open her heart to accept this new family.

"Little sister, you and your mother go in, and I'll carry the luggage." Lu Jichen said, and then he saw that Lu Xi's expression seemed to be a little wooden, so he smiled, "Could it be that he hasn't come back for a while, and he is cowardly in his hometown, right?" ”

"As long as you talk a lot, let's go in, don't pay attention to your third brother." Deng Yufang said lovingly, took Lu Xi's hand, and walked into the house.

The house is a duplex structure, the entrance is the hall, clean and tidy, and it looks very comfortable.

Deng Yufang pulled Lu Xi to sit down, and then said, "After more than two hours of driving, if you are thirsty, I will go get you water." ”

Lu Xi listened, and suddenly bounced up from the sofa that was not yet hot, where could she let her mother pour water for herself: "I'll just go, Mom, you sit." ”

Saying that, she pressed Deng Yufang back to the sofa, and hurriedly went to the kitchen with her memory, which made Deng Yufang laugh.

In the open kitchen, next to the refrigerator, there were two kettles on the countertop, she tried them, and they were both full. I took out three clean cups from the sterilizer, poured most of the cups, put them in a tray, and served them out.

When she took the water, Dogmeat happily walked in and out, and when she poured the water and sat down, Dogmeat was also accompanied, lying on the floor next to her feet.

"Mom, you drink water." Lu Xi brought the water in front of Deng Yufang and said, "It's not hot." ”

Deng Yufang was very pleased to pick up the cup and take a sip, and said, "It's better to raise a daughter, I know that I feel sorry for my mother." Your brothers, if you are half careful, I will be Amitabha. ”

Deng Yufang's casual emotion made Lu Xi almost cover her face in shame, but fortunately, the temperature of the boiling water was really not enough, she drank a few big sips before lowering the temperature of her body, and she did not die of fever and overheating.

"Mom, I don't agree with what you say, this brother can't be more careful than his sister, why don't you say that you carry bags and bricks?" Lu Jichen, who was carrying a large cardboard box of books, passed by and happened to hear Deng Yufang's words.

"People are tall and big rough embryos, don't carry bags and move bricks, do you still want to learn embroidery from other girls?" Deng Yufang is old and spicy.

When Lu Jichen heard about embroidery, he gasped: "Forget it, the embroidery still lets the little sister come, and I still carry my bag to carry my bricks." ”

After speaking, he didn't dare to say more, so he silently carried the cardboard box upstairs.

Lu Xi on the side complained bitterly in her heart, if she could, she would really rather carry her bag and move bricks, embroidery or something, or let other girls come.
