Chapter 21: Defection
Not only that, Lu Yu's mind could even leave his body and extend far away, and as he practiced every day, the distance extended out became longer and longer. Now even if Lu Yu is sitting in his own home, he can "see" everything in Sun Daqing's house, which is the farthest away from his house. Lu Yu knew that these were the effects of practicing kitchen knife formulas, magic kitchen knives, and magic formulas.
However, Lu Yu thought that he didn't have the habit of voyeurism, so he could see far away.
Lu Yu still carries water with others every day, he doesn't want to be different from other villagers, he is a farmer, and since he is farming, he shouldn't be tricky. Well, Lu Yu knew that he was still a little tendoned, and he was willing to carry water every day anyway.
Because of the need to carry water, the work in the field was busy for a whole month. March and April are supposed to be lukewarm seasons, but this year, as if it was early to summer, the sun was scorching every day, so the men and women of the whole village were dark after the busy work. It doesn't matter if the black spots are hot, the important thing is that this autumn's harvest will definitely not be good.
In June, there was news that there was no food in the city. Lu Yu went to the town to ask Lu Ming, and he said that there was no such problem in the town, and the county seat of Jinhua was indeed out of grain, and several larger grain stores were empty. Lu Yu felt that this had something to do with the drought this spring, and those who planted the land knew that the harvest would not be good in the autumn, so they didn't dare to sell the grain from the previous year. Before going home, Lu Yu told Lu Ming that there was still food at home, and he didn't sell it last year, so if he couldn't buy it in the town, he would go back and get it. Lu Yu asked him to pay attention to his father again, and he was a little worried.
On the way back, Lu Yu remembered Yan Xi'an again, she lived in Jinhua, and I don't know if she was also out of food. I thought of the plague before the drought, and hoped that she was all right.
But soon Lu Yu was able to confirm that she was fine, because her family and the aunt of the third grandfather's family came to Yangshan Village again.
Aunt Lu Yu is not the first group to come back from the city, nor is it the last group, and many people living in the city have recently defected to relatives in the countryside. It is indeed difficult to buy food in the city, and the lack of food has led to a series of problems. The government officials could not buy food even if they had money, and they did not take care of things much when they were on errands, and some ill-intentioned people gathered together to do some smashing and stealing, and the city was quite chaotic.
Yan Xi'an's family of four came, and she had a younger brother. In fact, their family and the third grandfather's family are actually not related, but they have no other relatives in the countryside, so they can only follow the aunt here. Lu Yujue definitely didn't come empty-handed, otherwise even if the third grandfather agreed to raise their family of four, his daughters-in-law would not be willing. But this has nothing to do with Lu Yu, all he cares about is Yan Xi'an.
Not long after Yan Xi'an and the others came, Uncle Mingde came to find Lu Yu and said that the third grandfather had something to discuss with him. When he arrived at the third grandfather's house, Lu Yu met Yan Xi'an and her family.
The third grandfather asked Lu Yu to sit down, and then talked to him about some miscellaneous things, and finally he asked him, "Da Yu, is your father back?" ”
Except for Lu Yu and Lu Ming, there may be no one in this world who cares about their father anymore. Lu Yu didn't know why the third grandfather asked like this, so he said, "No, I looked for him a few times, and I don't know where he went." ”
The third grandfather then introduced Yan Xi'an's family to Lu Yu, Yan Xi'an's father's name is Yan Jibai, who should be less than fifty years old, very tall and thin, very white and gentle, and at first glance he is a scholar; Yan Xi'an's mother's surname is Lin, a very kind middle-aged woman, Yan Xi'an is very similar to her; Yan Xi'an's younger brother is twelve or thirteen years old, and he is a Sven boy with clear eyebrows. In the end, the third grandfather introduced Yan Xi'an to Lu Yu, and he told Yan Xi'an that the two sisters and brothers should call him cousin, and then Yan Xi'an pulled his younger brother and shouted "Uncle Da Yu" together, and Lu Yu's heart trembled. Yan Xi'an's parents just nodded politely with Lu Yu and didn't say anything.
Lu Yu didn't know why the third grandfather wanted to introduce himself to Yan Xi'an's family, it wouldn't be ...... But as soon as the idea came to him, he knew it was impossible. When Lu Yu was ignoring the thoughts, the third grandfather spoke again: "Da Yu, do you have two houses in your house, can you vacate two rooms for your cousin's house of the Yan family for a few days?" Yan Xi'an's father is a generation lower than Aunt Lu Yu, and he is barely his cousin.
"Huh?" Lu Yu was a little confused, did Yan Xi'an want to go to his own house to live? If I heard it right, of course he was more than happy to do so.
Seeing the strange expression on Lu Yu's face, the third grandfather thought that he was unwilling, and said, "I will pay you rent according to the market in the town, how about it?" ”
How could Lu Yu ask for their rent? Joke! He hurriedly said: "If you don't use it, you don't need it, the house is empty and it's empty, just go and live in it, you don't need to rent it." Lu Yu's heart blossomed, but he didn't say it, and he didn't show it.
In fact, Lu Yu is not stupid, the third grandfather's family may not really be able to live, in fact, he is still afraid of trouble, in addition to living and eating, even if Yan Xi'an's family is really rich, no one may be willing to exchange food for him. If you live in Lu Yu's house, then Lu Yu will naturally have to solve the matter of eating. Lu Yu is very happy to solve it, as for how to solve it, just go back and think about it.
The third grandfather was very happy, probably because he was afraid that Lu Yu would regret it, and said, "Da Yu, you can help your cousin Yan move things over." He also pretended to tell him: "People are guests from afar, so be friendly when you live together." Lu Yu agreed again and again.
Then he thanked Lu Yu a few words in vain, and said that he would go with him to clean up the house first. The third grandfather had already told him about the situation of Lu Yu's family, so he thought that Lu Yu's family would be very chaotic.
Actually, no, although Lu Yu is a bachelor, he is a bachelor who loves cleanliness. But it's necessary to clean up. Doesn't Lu Yu's house have two rooms, the big one is where he lives now, a total of three, with a living room in the middle and bedrooms on both sides; The small one has only two rooms, one is the kitchen and the other is for farm tools and miscellaneous items. The four members of the Yan family have to live in at least two rooms, so the room with sundries must be cleaned up.
Yan Jibai's father and son went to clean up his house with Lu Yu, while Yan Xi'an's mother and daughter were packing up the things they had put at the third grandfather's house. On the way to Lu Yu's house, Yan Jibai thanked him again: "Brother Yu, thank you for your help, I'm sorry for your trouble." Lu Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's not troublesome." Yan Jibai nodded, and said that he would pay him rent, Lu Yu naturally said no, and said very seriously, Yan Jibai didn't speak again.
After arriving at Lu Yu's house, the three of them moved the farm tools and sundries in the room next to the kitchen together. In addition to the hoe and rake, there is also an old frame inside, I don't know how many years it has been in it, and Lu Yu also lifted it out. Although Yan Jibai is dressed very neatly and neatly, he is very reluctant to work hard when moving things, and he is not afraid that his clothes will be dirty, his son is responsible for putting aside the things that everyone moved out, although the young man is not skilled in work, but he is also very hardworking, which makes Lu Yu have a good impression of their father and son. Lu Yu planned to build a shed in the backyard, and these things that were vacated must not be kept outside all the time.
After the things were moved, Yan Jibai asked his son to clean up the inside, and then he and Lu Yu went to the third grandfather's house to move his things. When Lu Yu was on the way, he said to Yan Jibai that he would let his family of four live in a big house and move the firewood house by himself.
Yan Ji Bai frowned and couldn't even say well, his original intention was to let the family of four live in that firewood house. Lu Yu insisted that it didn't matter if he lived in a smaller room alone, and said that he didn't know how long the city would run out of food, and how would the four of them spend the summer together. Anyway, Lu Yu said it for a long time, and only then did he sigh and agree.
They brought a lot of things, and there were several boxes of clothes and quilts, and their family should have had a good life before. Looking at these things, knowing that they were going to live in Yangshan Village for a long time, Lu Yu was happy again.
Although there were a lot of things, the four of them still moved over in one trip. Lu Yu carried a large wooden box in one hand, and the rest of the things were not too difficult for the three of them to carry.
The things were first put in the hall of Lu Yu's main house, and then he told Mrs. Yan that he would move out and the family lived in this house. Mrs. Yan naturally excused herself again, and she only agreed after Lu Yu insisted repeatedly. Lu Yu could see that she was very embarrassed.
When moving his own things, Lu Yu found that there was a problem, that is, his family only had two beds, which was not enough. Yan Yubai said that the couple could just lay on the floor, but Lu Yu didn't agree, so he dismantled the frame, carried the wooden planks on the two benches, and made a simple bed.
After everything was cleaned up, it was already past noon, Lu Yu and the five of them had not eaten, and no one from the third grandfather's family had come to call the four members of the Yan family to eat. Lu Yu said that he would cook first and let them wait, the four members of the Yan family were very uneasy, and Lu Yu didn't know how to persuade them, so they went to cook first.
There are a lot of dried wild boar meat at home, but because of the dry weather, there are no other vegetables in the vegetable garden except for some wilted peppers. Lu Yu fried a large plate of wild boar meat with green peppers, steamed more than a dozen corn tortillas, and served them on the table together.
The four members of the Yan family were indeed hungry, and they ate without much excuse, of course Lu Yu didn't want them to be polite. The tortillas are very fragrant, and the fried pork with green peppers is also very fragrant, and the four members of the Yan family all ate it with relish after letting go. More than a dozen tortillas were eaten in the end, Lu Yu ate two, and he was already full, and he didn't know if the four of them were full, Lu Yu felt a little guilty, hoping that Yan Xi'an would not feel stingy.
After eating, he said in vain: "Xiding, you go and wash the dishes and chopsticks." "Yan Xi must be his son.
Where can Lu Yu let him wash the dishes, and hurriedly said I'll just come by myself. Yan Jibai pulled him and said that he couldn't just eat and not work, he had to let his son wash it, and finally Lu Yu said that he would go to fetch water, and then let Yan Xi wash it, and then he let go.
Because it has not rained for a long time, the water in the well is much shallower, and when he fetches water, Lu Yu is worried about whether the well will dry up one day.
The bowl was washed by Yan Xiding, he should have washed the dishes often before, this is not a pampered teenager, several dishes were washed by him.
