With Lu Nan's help, Fusheng felt a lot more relaxed. Think about it, there are many people, and now there are more people, and the family can indeed be turned around. Thinking like this in his heart, he thought about going back to help Xinlan. So when Xinlan came over, he said his thoughts. Xinlan was worried that Lu Nan would not be able to take care of her father alone, so when she heard that she didn't think about it, she directly refused: "During the Spring Festival, you don't have to care about anything." If there are more people, you can rest for a while, and if there are fewer people, you will bother to have a little bit. ”

When Fusheng heard about it, he had to stop mentioning it. Come over, Xinjun and Da Ling took time to accompany their father, and the manpower was even richer. But Fusheng remembered Xinlan's words in his heart, worried that they were inexperienced and couldn't take care of their father, so they still took care of themselves and didn't let them stretch out their hands.

After the Spring Festival in this way, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, Lu Dong returned to the city by car early in the morning. Xinlan was cooking, and when she heard the door shouting outside, she knew that it was Lu Dong, so she hurriedly opened the door, and saw that he was the only one who came in, Xinlan was suddenly stunned, and hurriedly asked: "Why are you alone, where is Liuqin and the child?" ”

"Liuqin's parents asked her to take the child to stay at home for a few days and come back later." Lu Dongdao.

"Oh, I said, it scared me. But also, for a few years, it should be. Xinlan said, she didn't care, and when she turned back, she suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned around and said, "You came back just in time today, Lu Nan is ready to leave in the evening, and your brothers can still meet each other." ”

"Where is Lu Nan?" Lu Dong asked.

"Serve your grandfather with your father."

"Oh! Then I'll wash my face for a while. Lu Dong said, put the bag on the stool on the side, and this side began to act.

said: "Don't worry, let's eat something first, and then bring them something to eat." ”

Lu Dong was busy while agreeing. Xinlan went here to prepare. After Lu Dong was eating, Xinlan only then remembered to ask Lu Dong about going home, so Lu Dong simply told him about the New Year in his hometown. When everything was over, he went over and went to Lu Nan with the things his mother had prepared.

Along the way, the cool breeze was blowing, and I no longer felt how cold it was. Maybe it's just the New Year, and there aren't many pedestrians in the morning. The atmosphere of the New Year on both sides of the road is still the same, and the couplets posted on the doors of the factories and the businesses on both sides reveal the joy of the New Year. Lu Dong shook off and strode away, and arrived at his grandfather's house after a while. When he knocked on the door and came in, he saw that his father was also cooking in the house, so Lu Dong handed over the things he brought to his father. I saw if I saw Lu Nan, so I asked.

Fusheng said: "He stayed up late last night and hasn't gotten up yet." After speaking, he asked Lu Dongdao again: "Where are you?" When did you come back? ”

"I also just arrived, and I came over after dinner at home."

"Where's the child? Isn't it lively to celebrate the New Year in your hometown? ”

"The child didn't come back, and he followed Liuqin to come back after a while at home. I haven't been back for so many years, if you want to say that our rural New Year is still lively and popular, the city can't catch up with this time. ”

"It's not like that, I always have that feeling, as if I haven't integrated into the city since I came back this time, and I always feel that my hometown is simple and simple." Fusheng said and stirred the pot, seeing that the porridge was almost boiled, he asked Lu Dong to go back to the house to rest, and he was ready to feed the old man after it was cooled.

At this time, Lu Nan came out of the side room. When he saw Lu Dong, he hurriedly said hello. Lu Dong replied, and then said, "I heard our mother say that you are going to leave tonight?" ”

"Well, the unit will go to work tomorrow, and I'll go back just in time. What time do you come to work? ”

"I'm tomorrow too." After Lu Dong agreed, he asked Lu Nan to wash his face first, and he went into the house to take care of his grandfather.

After a while, Fusheng brought the food in. Lu Dong went over to help his father help the old man up, and tightened it with a quilt behind him, and when he watched his father feed the old man, Lu Nan also came in. Seeing this, he said: "Dad, as soon as I leave, my brother will go to work again, and you will be left alone here." ”

"What about a person? I'm used to it. With you here, I will save some effort; Without you here, I'd just have to make a little effort, but your mom and she should run on both sides when the time comes. Fusheng didn't think about it so much, and said casually.

When Lu Dong heard this, he continued: "Don't worry, during this time, since Liuqin is not at home, I will be fine when I go back, and I will come over after work and live here, if I have one to bring by the way, you can replace you when you are tired." ”

"Work first, it's okay when you have time, don't force yourself to come over if you don't have time." Fusheng admonished.

"Don't worry, I know."

Lu Dong agreed, so the matter was settled.

Since then, the days have passed, and the weather has become warmer as the festive atmosphere has faded away little by little. Lu Dong came to help his father every day after work, and it was not until Liu Qin came back from his hometown with Peng Peng three months later that his life returned to before.

Xinlan is in charge of three places by herself, running non-stop for life, although it is hard, she never shows a little compassion in front of Fusheng. She knew in her heart that only by working hard could Fusheng calm down and serve her father who was lying on the hospital bed.

In fact, why don't she know this mentality? He knew that the reason why Xinlan took care of all the big and small things of the family on one person was to let him serve the old man well. Although he is just a son-in-law, he occasionally lingers about Xinjun and Da Ling's attitude towards his two people, but thinking about the friendship between the old couple and Xinlan's dedication to his family, what else can he say? Only do your best. Thinking like this, Fusheng devoted all his heart to the old man. But because of this, Fusheng's dedication has been highly praised in the family home, and people have seen it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts, saying that it is the blessing of the old couple to have such a good son-in-law as him.

In this way, the cold and the summer passed, day by day, and unconsciously it was the autumn season, and the old man had been lying on the hospital bed for nearly two years. However, after all, there is no banquet in the world, even if the Fusheng service is good, but the old man has been sick and bedridden for a long time, and the organs of the body will inevitably fail, and finally one day, the weather suddenly turned cold, and the old man felt unwell, so he lay down early to sleep, but who knew that after lying down, he never woke up.

The old man is gone. Fusheng is sad, and everyone is equally sad. After dealing with the aftermath, returning home, and sorting out the old man's relics, Xinmei's family left in advance, leaving only Xinjun and Xinlan's families here. Seeing that it was about to break up, Fusheng privately gave the key to the house to Xinlan, and said, "Our dad is gone, my task is completed, this is the key to the door, do you see if it's for Xinjun or what?" ”

Xinlan knew what Fusheng meant by asking this. She looked at the key in her hand, and thought in her heart: "Fusheng, I think it's better to give the key to Xinjun and Da Ling, and leave it in our hands, it's boring to wait for them to open their mouths again." ”

"Why do you say that? Do you know that we are still living in Sun Wei's house now?! Fusheng reminded.

"Of course I do!"

"I know you still say that? Do you remember that when your parents were there, they said that anyone can live in this room? ”

"Of course I remember, but you also have to think about it, this house should have been for Xinjun and his family. Now that we're back, it's ours, don't you think it's reasonable? Besides, the water spilled by the married girl can't be our turn to come back and fight! ”

"Why can't it be your turn? Could it be that your parents didn't serve you? Fusheng was a little unconvinced.

Xinlan looked at it and hurriedly explained: "That's not what it means, Fusheng!" I know my parents here, you have done your best in the past two years, but this is not the same thing, I don't want to make everyone unhappy because of this matter, have you forgotten what Da Ling said at the beginning, so don't mention this again, besides, we are not without long hands, it's a big deal to save some money for a few more years, and seize the opportunity to buy a second-hand house. ”

"It's easy to say, I don't want to think about what age we are, and we don't have a job or anything!" Fusheng Road.

"How old? It's early! In the countryside, is it different to be older than this, do you have to climb high and low? Rest assured, just rely on my store and run it well, I promise that it will be done in a few years! ”

"Hey, forget it, I won't tell you anymore, you can make up your own mind, you won't tell me anyway! I'm just thinking about asking you to mention it, and if you don't mention it, forget it. Fusheng saw that Xinlan couldn't change his mind, so he walked away and ignored Xinlan after speaking.

Xinlan knew that he hadn't figured it out in his heart, but she couldn't convince him for a while. She was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so she thought about cutting the mess quickly, and dealt with this matter as soon as possible, so she saved the regeneration of branches, so she came back and saw that Xinjun was not busy, so she took out the key and said generously: "Xinjun, this is the key to this house, you can take it, our father is gone, and it is useless to stay with your brother." ”

"You can live in the house, what are you doing for me?" Xinjun didn't care at all.

Hearing Xinjun say this, Xinlan thought that Xinjun was saying it casually, and she didn't care, so she said casually: "How can it work, our parents are just you a boy, and the house should belong to you and Daling, and neither of us as girls is qualified to live in this place." ”

"Hey! Sister, don't say that, what boys and girls, whoever lives is the same! ”

Xinlan has never thought about it, she knows Da Ling's temper, and she also knows her brother's status in the family, at this time, hearing Xin Jun still say this, she smiled lightly and said: "Xinjun, sister, thank you for your kindness, but there are still Da Ling and the children in this family, you have to think about it!" ”

"You don't have to worry about this! Whoever doesn't have a house lives in it. Xinjun said, turned his head and said to Da Ling in the outer room: "Da Ling, come!" Come! ”

"What's the matter?" Da Ling replied and walked in.

Seeing Da Ling coming, Xin Jun said: "Da Ling, our sister gave me the key to the house at home, do you say we will take it or not?" Xinjun said.

"What?! Didn't we talk about the house a long time ago, let our sister and their family live for miles, what do you mean, it won't be another hexagram, right? Da Ling wondered.

"That's it! I called you here just to let our sister hear it and prove that I didn't lie to her, otherwise she wouldn't believe it. Xinjun said.

"What's not to believe in that? Eldest sister. We sisters all have houses to live in at the moment, and only you and my brother-in-law and two nieces live in someone else's house. There is no fixed place to live, and Xinjun and I are uncomfortable when we look at it. You said that our parents lived in this house, and everyone was powerless and couldn't help you. Now that they're gone, they're free, and it's natural to give you a place to live, and don't say anything, and put the keys away! Da Ling said simply, without a pause.

"Then your eldest child is not too young, where will you live when you get married in the future?"

"You don't have to worry about this, he and his partner are far away from here, and they are both working in the same unit, so you don't have to worry about not being able to get a room in the future." Da Ling didn't care about Dao.

Hearing Da Ling say this, Xinlan let go of her excitement. In her impression, Da Ling has always been a mercenary person. Although there have been some changes in the past few years, Xinlan thinks that she will not let it out of this house no matter what. Now she can say this generously, which shows that they still have their own sister in their hearts. Xinlan thought like this, and her heart became excited, completely changing Da Ling's impression in her heart. She was excited, thinking of what Fusheng said about herself just now, so she hurriedly called Fusheng over and told Fusheng about it.

When Fusheng heard this, he knew that everyone would not joke about this matter, and what he said must be true, so he was naturally even happier in his heart. He knew that he would not change anything when things were decided, so he joked, "You can think about it, this is not a matter of regret." ”

"Regret what?! Don't say anything! Just after you have worked hard to serve our father for the past few years, Da Ling and I feel that this house must be lived in by you. ”

"Did you hear that, Fusheng, listen, what our brother said, it seems that everyone didn't do anything, and it was all your credit, and we all followed suit." Xinlan is also in line with the Tao.

"Oh yes, it's all my credit, and you're all gone." Fusheng didn't expect that things would take a big turn after a while, and he just sent his father away, and the family was sad, and his face couldn't help but overflow with a happy smile.

The matter of the house was decided like this, it seemed to be an inadvertent thing, but this incident made Xinlan feel her family affection, which not only invisibly brought everyone's feelings closer, but also made the prejudice against her younger siblings that had been pressed in Fusheng and Xinlan's hearts disappear without a trace. Turning around, when they were talking, the tone seemed more intimate, and everyone talked happily, no longer arguing about the house, but discussing the matter of painting and living for a while, until they parted and said goodbye.
