156 relatives

The Lu family is surrounded by several mountains, and the mountains are bare and have no greenery.

Not far from the door, there is a small river four or five meters wide, and on the opposite side of the river is a large ridge. Due to the winter, the ridges are bare, and the wind here is not strong, blowing and shaking the bare trunks slowly.

Li Zheng's family of three is like a rare animal, surrounded by the whole village, and people who are about the same age as Li's father know the Li family, and the younger ones are purely lively to watch.

Many people greeted Dad Li, using the local dialect, Li Zheng couldn't understand it, so they simply took Mama Li's hand and followed behind Dad Li, listening to Dad Li and these people.

Compared with these people in the countryside who are dressed in monotonous clothes and have a single color, the three of them seem out of place, as if they have strayed into different worlds.

Thirty years have passed, and Li's father's memory of Xiaohe Village has been baptized by time and gradually dissipated in the long river of time.

As soon as he walked to Lujia Village, Li's father pointed to the scattered families across the river and said that it was where he grew up.

"Where's Daddy's house?" Li Zheng looked across the river and asked, and Dad Li nodded.

Li Si led the family into Lujia Village, where most of the people were surnamed Lu, and only a few of the people who moved in were foreign surnames.

Most of the houses in this village are tiled houses, and only a few have one-story bungalows, which can be regarded as a relatively happy family.

Along the way, people passing by stopped and watched the threesome monkey. When I met someone who knew Dad Li and said a few words, it was already about three o'clock in the afternoon when I entered Lu's house.

Li Zheng walked such a long way without the slightest complaint, her body was very good, and walking on the mountain road for an hour was nothing. But Li's mother doesn't have such a good body as Li Zheng, and she almost fell down halfway through, if Li Zheng hadn't been holding her hand, she might not have been able to walk to Lujia Village.

The Lu family has a large courtyard surrounded by several tiled houses. In front of the door is a vegetable garden, in which often eaten vegetables are grown.

The front of the door was cleaned very clean, and not far away was a well, covered with a square plank.

There was a big yellow dog tied to the outside of the pigsty, and when he heard the footsteps of strangers barking loudly, he was yelled several times by the Lu family before retracting into the nest.

Li Zheng has been very familiar with his nephew Lu Jianshan all the way, mainly because Lu Jianshan can talk to her, and the two can talk about many topics together, unlike Lu Weiwei and the third cousin who can't say a few words.

When she arrived at Lu's house, she asked him if there was water there, and she went to wash her shoes first.

Lu Jianshan took her to the well and enthusiastically brought a bucket of water up for her, Li Zheng looked into the well curiously, and the deep well water could not see the bottom.

Lu Jianshan enthusiastically explained to her the purpose of well water, and personally scooped water for her with a scoop to wash off the sludge on her shoes.

Li Si has three sons and two daughters, the eldest son and the second son are married and have children, and the two daughters are also married. The youngest son is the cousin who went to pick up Li Zheng, and when he heard that his uncle, who had not been seen for many years, came back, Li Si's eldest daughter and second daughter also rushed back to their parents' house with their children to see this legendary uncle.

The mother and daughter washed off the sludge outside their shoes, and Lu Jianshan took the two into the house.

There was no TV at home, not even a sofa, sitting on a bench large enough to sit two or three people, and everyone under the age of 30 could speak Mandarin. Li's mother chatted with her aunt and uncle with Li's father.

Most of the time, Li's father answered, and Li's mother, like Li Zheng, had black eyes and couldn't understand a word of the dialect of this place.

Li Zheng smiled lightly and chatted with these juniors, talking about things in the city. Like the daughters of my cousin's family, they are all studying in the town, and they have never even been to the county seat, so they are very curious about the qiē outside.

Li Zheng came from the world outside the mountains again, and more than a dozen juniors gathered around Li Zheng, shouting enthusiastically and generously from his cousin, and Li Zheng also answered their questions one by one kindly.

Li Zheng asked them to teach her the dialect of the place, and by the time they ate, Li Zheng could already speak a simple dialect.

It took three tables to sit the room full of people, and Li Zheng really experienced rural life.

There is no gas here, there is no induction cooker and microwave oven, there is only firewood and coal, the weather is cold, there is a charcoal fire burning in the house, filling the cold room with a trace of heat, and because there are many people talking about this, I don't feel cold at all.

When it was time to eat, the juniors and cousins and sisters-in-law enthusiastically served Li Zheng vegetables, and the dishes were piled up all over the bowl. However, looking at the large piece of fat in the bowl, Li Zheng squirmed the corners of his lips, and he didn't dare to put down his chopsticks for a while. She is not a picky eater and can eat anything, just the difference between loving and not liking. However, when looking at this large piece of fat meat, if she wants to eat it without any scruples, Li Zheng feels that she would rather not eat.

She smiled awkwardly, Dad doesn't like to eat fatty meat, and Mom can't do it.

Li Zheng fixed his eyes on Lu Jianshan, who was sitting next to her, leaned over and asked in a low voice. "Little mountain, do you want to eat meat? I don't like this? Li Zheng awkwardly pointed to the fat in his bowl and smiled flatteringly at Lu Jianshan.

Lu Jianshan looked at her in a daze, his face suddenly turned red, and he replied in a whisper in Li Zheng's ear. "Give it to me!" Li Zheng suddenly felt relieved when he heard his words, and gave all the meat in the bowl to Lu Jianshan.

In the last two years of her life, she has endured all kinds of hardships and hardships. When I helped people wipe the dishes in the restaurant, I ate a big pot of rice, and the dishes in it were not as hearty as the meal prepared today, although Li Zheng, who had a light taste, was not used to eating, but she was not as picky as in her previous life, and she lost her temper. Dad Li was also surprised by her quietness and adaptation to a strange place, and kept whispering to ask her if she had any questions.

"Xiaozheng, aren't you used to eating rural food?" As soon as Li Zheng gave all the meat clips to Lu Jianshan, Lu Weiwei gritted her teeth and asked loudly from the opposite side.

Li Zheng raised her head suddenly, and the people at several tables turned their heads to look at her, especially the adults, with displeased looks in their eyes.

Li Zheng looked at Lu Weiwei's play-like eyes and obvious words, smiled elegantly, and her voice was cold and indifferent. "It's not used to eating! My family never eats these things. ”

Li Zheng indifferently took a bite of the rice in the bowl, and admitted Lu Weiwei's words naturally. She never wronged herself, and she could feel that others were good to her and bad to her. Lu Weiwei on the opposite side raised her expression and looked at her and asked curiously. "Is my cousin's family rich?"

Li Zheng looked at her fixedly, she asked this question many times, and looked at the few cousins who pricked up their ears and listened at the table, Li Zheng's expression changed. Everyone understands the truth that wealth is not exposed, but Lu Weiwei asked this question because she was curious to ask? There are still people who instigate it. Li Zheng was betrayed miserably by the people around him in his previous life, and he didn't trust anyone, so he couldn't help but think about the problem deeply.

On the way, Li Zheng already knew that Dad Li never told his aunt if his family had any money, but only helped his aunt pay 300,000 yuan for medical expenses. She really wanted to see what the Lu family thought and what they wanted to do? Many thoughts flashed through Li Zheng's mind, would she be afraid of trouble?

Li Zheng raised his head and showed a serious look. "Hmmm! It's not particularly rich, is it? Dad is the richest man in Shanyuan City, but there are not even a hundred people in the Celestial Empire. ”

Li Zheng's words fell, and the sound of several pairs of chopsticks falling to the ground, Lu Weiwei's mouth opened wide in surprise.

"Isn't that rich?" The second cousin suddenly let out an exclamation and turned his head to look at Li Zheng. He has been working in other provinces for the past few years, and he has also been to many big cities, so he knows what the richest man is. That's very rich people.

His eyes lit up red and excited, revealing greed. He has such a rich uncle, how can his mother never say that he has made these brothers suffer for so many years.

Dad Li held Li Zheng's hand from under the table, he hadn't seen this sister for many years, and he hadn't met a few times suddenly, so he couldn't talk about good feelings. It's just that blood is thicker than water, and he can't bear to refuse his sister's request, so he will bring his wife and daughter to celebrate the New Year this time.

My sister also asked him many times how he was doing outside, and asked him many times if he was very rich now, Dad Li was a businessman, what kind of person he was like, and he was actually afraid that his sister would not find him because of family relations but because of foreign conditions. Every time he turns around and diverges from this topic, or he just says that he is average, and there is no problem with food and clothing.

But now I didn't expect to be stabbed out by my daughter all at once, he is the richest man in Shanyuan City, yes, but he is not as rich as Xiaozheng said, right?

Li Huo looked at his daughter in confusion, and Li Zheng glanced at Li's father indifferently and turned his gaze back.

She heard her aunt say something to Dad Li in dialect, and her father's face suddenly became a little ugly, although Li Zheng didn't know dialect. But she can still read the expressions on other people's faces, and she can still see the greedy gaze and desire. My aunt thought that she had said something that disgusted her father, so that she would make her show that expression.

At first, they were just enthusiastic cousins and cousins, and they immediately asked about the situation at Li Zheng's family. The enthusiasm made Li Zheng unable to resist.

"Xiao Zheng has a few houses in his family! How many sedans are there? ”

All kinds of questions were preliminary, and Dad Li's face was even more ugly, but he didn't say a word, and Mama Li's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.

"There are more than a dozen! In the case of houses, there are several real estate properties in the company, and they are also worth billions. However, there are tens of thousands of employees in the company owned by my father, and there is not much left in the salary. Li Zheng smiled shyly, and showed a simple and unrhymed smile to the people at the table.

Looking at the ignorant expressions of the children, and the greedy and yearning looks of the adults, it seems that all the money is in their pockets.

"Wow, my uncle has opened such a big company! I know a little bit about big companies. The company can't find outsiders to take care of it, the money has been embezzled, and you must let your own people do it. The second cousin looked happy, his face was red, and he was slightly drunk because he drank some wine. Dad Li began to talk about his own experience, and what he said was extravagant and unique.

The Lu family and the others were chatting and began to discuss how many things they could do for the company.

Dad Li lowered his head in confusion, held Mama Li's hand tightly and didn't say a word. R1152
