Chapter 0058: The First Year
Su Xiaoran's relatives came at an inopportune time, and Ma Yifan still failed after all, because the New Year was gradual, he had to help Lu Guihua buy New Year's goods together, so he didn't have time to be with Su Xiaoran all day long.
Lao Ma's family has no relatives, and Ma Donghong has been an orphan since he was a child. Unlike the Lao Ma family, the Lu family is prosperous.
Lu Guihua's hometown is in Dawan Town, Beijiang County, a real mountain person. Since Ma Donghong left, Lu Guihua has returned to his hometown every Spring Festival. Although the conditions are relatively poor, it is lively.
Lu Guihua has six brothers and sisters, and she is the fifth. The Lu family only has the eldest and the second male, both of whom are authentic farmers who have been digging in the fields all their lives. Starting from Lu Guihua, the last four of the Lu family are all daughters. Except for Lu Guihua, the rest of the marriages are also farmers.
The third generation of the Lu family is also not promising, and Ma Yifan has read it out, and the rest of them either dropped out of school early to work, or studied in a junior college or something. Before Ma Yifan, there was not a single undergraduate.
This year, Ma Yifan was admitted to a good university, Lu Guihua's face was bright, and he was much more active in the Spring Festival than in previous years, and took Ma Yifan to Ma Donghong's grave a day in advance, and then returned to his hometown.
Dawan Town is located in a deep mountain forest, and at the foot of the mountain is the Dawan Reservoir, the people's big water tank of Beijiang County.
It is said that the reservoir was dug up by the people of several nearby towns with a spade and shovel, but that was decades before the days of the Grand Commune.
The old house of the Lu family is at the foot of Lingang Mountain in Wutou Village, Dawan Town, where the scenery is extremely beautiful, but it is not open to traffic. Take the bus from the village to the county road 174KM, and you have to walk more than half an hour on the mountain road to get there. The third generation of the Lu family who can start a family basically settles their homes outside the mountain, and no matter how bad they are, they are still on the edge of the county road, and several older generations of the Lu family are still guarding this row of old houses and are reluctant to leave. Although the transportation here is inconvenient and entertainment is lacking, there are mountains and rivers and pleasant scenery, but it is a paradise-like place.
The Spring Festival is a day for family reunions, no matter how difficult the mountain road is and how underdeveloped the traffic is, the old cousins outside have returned, and the old house of the Lu family has never been more lively.
In the second generation of the Lu family, even if Lu Guihua is a little promising, he was admitted to the secondary school and assigned a job that year. found a husband who also ate imperial food, although Ma Donghong died early. But when Ma Donghong was alive, they were definitely the backbone of the Lu family, and they had to discuss big and small things with them.
Although Ma Donghong is gone, everyone's respect for Lu Guihua has not changed. This is also where Ma Yifan likes these poor relatives, who are particularly simple and not mixed with any snobbery.
Ma Yifan still remembers that when Ma Donghong was sick, his uncle and uncle also heard out of nowhere that eating yellow eel was good for his condition and would help him recover. So the two of them went to the reservoir every day to net loaches, and then went to Ma Yifan's house with great effort. The same is true for several aunts, they have no money, so they can only give out some of their own things, family vegetables, eggs, and old geese, and they didn't go to Ma Yifan's house to get them during that time.
Ma Yifan still remembers this kindness, so he was quite touched when he went home this time, and he was thinking about how to repay the kindness of several uncles and aunts after he became developed.
The third generation of the Lu family has a huge number, a total of more than a dozen people, the male is not prosperous, and Ma Yifan has a better relationship with a few old cousins of the eldest uncle's family. The remaining cousins and cousins, because they married early, have less back and forth, and their feelings are a little rusty.
Uncle Lu Bowen's two sons, Lu Jilong and Lu Jihu. Uncle Lu Boli's family has a son, Lu Jiwei. Among the three of them, Ji Long and Ji Hu didn't go to school much, and they mixed in society after graduating from junior high school, and now they are all working in an optical factory in Wenhai City, Zhe Province. Ji Wei re-studied for three or four years and took a junior college to study civil engineering, and now he works in a private enterprise and is stationed at the construction site all year round. In terms of personality, Ji Long is the most honest, while Ji Hu and Ji Wei are more active.
It's rare to see a few old watches once a year, so it's extra lively to get together.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, three tables were set up inside and outside the old house, and after eating lively, everyone began to play cards.
Lu Jilong didn't fight, not because he didn't want to fight, but his wife Ye Sanling was too strict, and he had to hand over every amount of money he paid for working outside. Although he doesn't play, he likes to participate in this excitement, so he stands behind Lu Jihu and watches his younger brother play cards, and occasionally if anyone pees or something, he goes up and touches two.
Ma Yifan didn't play cards either, he is now a 211 college student, and he is definitely wise in the old Lu family. A few cousins who are still in school are now gathering around to ask for advice on how to study.
Ma Yifan was teaching his little cousins how to learn while tinkering on his mobile phone.
In the 18 investment class group, Zhou Jian launched a red envelope game, he sent the first red envelope, everyone came to grab it, and the one with the worst luck sent the second one, and so on until Zhou Jian grabbed the worst luck again.
After playing for several rounds in a row, the girls were not happy, and a group of girls led by Li Yan, a senior official of the regiment, jointly criticized the boys for not being gentlemen enough. In the end, under the call of Zhou Jian and others, the rules of the game were changed, if the girl grabbed the worst luck, she could choose any boy in the class to distribute it on her behalf, and the boy could not refuse.
Everyone had a lot of fun, Ma Yifan also took the time to grab a few red envelopes, and the rest of the time was busy communicating with Liu Shiyu and Su Xiaoran on WeChat.
From morning to night today, he received a lot of text messages with Spring Festival blessings. People such as Xia Dongdong, Li Can'er and others sent him text messages, and he was not too surprised. To his surprise, Liu Xiao, who was in the same class, also sent him a text message.
When he saw the text message, Ma Yifan was stunned for a long time before remembering that this Liu Xiao was Li Yan's roommate, and because of the relationship between Zhou Jian and Li Yan, the two bedrooms had a meal together. At that time, Lu Kai and Zhang Bangcheng had a hot fight with Hu Jia and Fang Yingying in each other's bedrooms, but he and Liu Xiao didn't have any common language and almost didn't chat much.
A text message was not enough to make Ma Yifan think about anything, and after a simple reply, Ma Yifan didn't take it seriously.
What he didn't expect was that in the red envelope game session, Liu Xiao grabbed a person with the worst luck but asked him to send it by name.
Now the class group was lively, and the 315 dormitory headed by Zhou Jian and Lu Kai took the lead in coaxing. Ma Yifan secretly scolded for being naïve, silently sent out the red envelope, and directly blocked the group information.
At 9 o'clock, the popular idol group TFMAN appeared at the Spring Festival Gala, and several little cousins dispersed in a hurry.
Ma Yifan was rarely quiet, walked outside, looked at the stars in the sky, recalled the great changes brought to his life by the system this year, and was full of emotion.
