Chapter Forty-Nine: The Two Men Who Suddenly Visited
Gao Shu's house has a courtyard of 50 square meters, a backyard of more than 30 square meters, three houses, and a kitchen outside.
Charlene knew that in another seven or eight years, there would be demolition here, and the demolition at that time was divided into houses according to area and population, although it was not like the later demolition that could be divided into several suites, and the resettlement houses were not in the city center.
It's a pity that at that time, she had already divorced Gao Shu.
Her two children fell into the house, she raised her by herself, and the place that her son arranged for her was there, thinking of her two sons in her previous life, Charlene's face was stunned.
"Ah Shu, the house next to us doesn't seem to be inhabited, whose house?"
Gao Shu shook his head: "I don't remember, I just remember that when I was a child, the osmanthus trees in his yard were very fragrant, the orange trees were full of oranges, and there was an old Chinese medicine doctor couple living there, I haven't been here for many years, and I don't know where they have moved."
They have two children and should have moved in with them. ”
"Oh" Charlene thought thoughtfully, thinking about how to find someone to buy the house.
Of course, this is just a plan, although she sold some clothes in her hometown, she didn't save much money, five or six hundred.
According to the current price, it should be worth two or three thousand, although the house is not inhabited, but it is well built, and it can be seen from them that the house is deeper than theirs.
Two or three thousand? For her, it can be earned back in two or three months.
The solemn fool, let him help sell the goods, and let him help him bring back a batch of cloth that time, and he actually made up cotton, which was so soft that it was easy to see when transporting the goods, and now I can't count on him, but it's good for him to go in, so as to save her trouble.
Now in the big city, I'm not afraid that her clothes won't sell.
Once she was stable here, she thought about exploring the fabric factory here, and it would be better if she could buy a sewing machine.
The biggest reason why she chose to move out was to make it easier for her to earn money.
The school Gao Shu applied for was far away from here, and she couldn't come back at night, but she could.
In March, the notices came down one after another, and there were many students in the compound who applied for the exam.
Some people are happy, some people are sad.
It was Gao Shu and Xia Lin, both husband and wife were admitted to university, Gao Shu was admitted to Xicheng University of Political Science and Law, and Xia Lin was admitted to Xicheng Normal University.
When Lu Jingqiu heard Aunt Cuihua's publicity, she was shocked and surprised, and she was not very convinced: "Auntie, you said that Charlene was really admitted to university?" ”
Aunt Cuihua said: "No, people's daughter-in-law is promising, and she was also admitted to university with Gao Shu, and now the Gao family is happy, why do you say that Gao Shu is so visionary, and he found such a good daughter-in-law to come back." ”
Lu Jingqiu secretly rolled her eyes, and she didn't know who said that Gao Shu had found a rural person.
She felt that her rebirth had a butterfly effect, and in this life, Charlene was not only not pregnant, but also admitted to college, and even took the initiative to move to the old house of Gao Shu's family.
Against the doubts in his heart, he observed the situation in the compound these days.
Some families saw that their children were admitted to college, and even invited relatives and friends to dinner.
Uncle Gao also invited two tables, and Dad came over. She didn't really want to get involved in Charlene and Gao Shu's affairs.
After the university notices came down one after another, many candidates began to prepare for returning to school.
Lu Jingqiu is relatively quiet these days, this day is Sunday, the weather is gradually getting warmer, you can take off the heavy coat and wear it thinner. She was wearing the trench coat that her mother bought for her today, and underneath was the thick skirt she made of the gray and white checkered, and moved a chair to sit in the yard, basking in the sun with Huahua.
Xiaoshun and Xiaoyin came to her house with two little hens.
"Sister Xiaoqiu, this is the chick my mother prepared for you."
Lu Jingqiu looked at the two chicks in good condition, and was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Xiaoshun to help her put them in the wooden cage prepared by her father.
"What do they eat?"
"Bugs, leftovers, Xiaoyin and I will dig earthworms in the yard for my chickens when we have nothing to do."
Lu Jingqiu said bitterly: "Ah, then I have time to dig with you." ”
Xiaoyin said: "Sister Xiaoqiu, we will help you." ”
"Okay, how about Sunday."
Xiao Shun said: "No problem. ”
Lu Jingqiu knew that Aunt Liu would not ask for her money, so she deliberately took out a pound of meat tickets from the house, half a pound of brown sugar, and four white rabbit toffees and gave them to Xiaoshun.
Xiaoshun took it with a smile, for fear that she would regret it, so she ran away with Xiaoyin, and said while running: "Sister Xiaoqiu, I'll send a few worms to your house at night." ”
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Lu Jingqiu sat back in the chair in a good mood, picked up the paintbrush in his hand, touched the flowers, and drew a few strokes on the paper from time to time.
Because Lu Jingqiu saw the contribution of Xicheng Daily, he was soliciting illustrations for Arbor Day.
Lu Jingqiu was composing at this moment.
It was such a leisurely afternoon, and before I had time to enjoy it, my father suddenly brought two guests.
The two people who followed behind his father, the pen in Lu Jingqiu's hand was messed up, and the painting just now was ruined.
"Comrade Li?"
She stood up in a panic and hurriedly said hello, and of course, she also saw the man standing behind her father.
I just don't know what to call it.
"Qiu'er, let me introduce you, this is Jiang Nanzhou, this is Li Huakun, you have seen it in Beijing, your mother is hospitalized in Beijing, thanks to the two of you."
"So you are Comrade Jiang Nanzhou? It's a coincidence. ”
Lu Xianrun was stunned for a moment, looked at Jiang Nanzhou behind him, then looked at his daughter, and said, "You know?" ”
"Well, Comrade Jiang Nanzhou acted bravely a few days ago, and I happened to be there."
"Oh, that's right, as a soldier, it should be. Qiu'er, today Dad is going to leave two guests for dinner, you look at what is at home, and get ready. ”
"Yes, I said in the hospital that I wanted to invite the two of you to dinner, but I didn't expect to meet here today, so please sit in the room."
Jiang Nanzhou pursed his lips and smiled, and nodded at Lu Jingqiu.
Li Huakun stepped forward with a smile and said, "Comrade Lu will have a chance in the future, the two of us have now been transferred to Xicheng, and we are stationed." ”
"That's great."
Lu Xianrun took the two to chat in the living room, and Lu Jingqiu was busy in the kitchen.
Fortunately, yesterday my aunt brought her back a piece of meat.
There are also dried vegetables and mushrooms at home.
When cooking, Lu Jingqiu was thinking about other things in her heart, she thought about it carefully, she had never met two people in her previous life, and she didn't know these two people with her father.
No, Dad knew Jiang Nanzhou's grandfather, and he should also know Jiang Nanzhou, but in his previous life, Jiang Nanzhou didn't seem to be in this military region.
Maybe it's after Dad was transferred? Or perhaps, my ten years in a nursing home.
After she was reborn, many things changed, especially the people and things around her.
For example, Gao Shu and Charlene.
Although I was a little apprehensive about these changes, it didn't make a difference.
Lu Jingqiu made mushroom rice noodle soup, a plate of back to the pot meat, and a plate of scrambled eggs.
"Don't mind if you come here suddenly, you're not well prepared."
Jiang Nanzhou looked at the plate full of meat and said, "It's already good." ”
Li Huakun said with a smile: "I didn't expect Comrade Lu's craftsmanship to be so good, it smells so good." ”
"I learned it all from my aunt, who is the chef of a state-run restaurant."
Li Huakun praised: "Amazing." ”
Lu Xianrun beckoned the two of them to eat: "There will be time in the future, Uncle Lu welcomes you to come often." ”
"Dad, do you want to drink today? Do you want me to fry peanuts? ”
As soon as Lu Jingqiu's words fell, Jiang Nanzhou hurriedly said: "Don't drink, we will have something to do in a while." ”
Seeing this, Lu Jingqiu also sat down, and hurriedly sandwiched meat between them with chopsticks: "Then you eat more, you're welcome." Thank you for your care when you are in Beijing. ”
Jiang Nanzhou looked at the meat and eggs that came over, and was a little embarrassed: "It should be." ”
They go to other people's houses, but they don't have such meat and eggs to eat.
I can feel Lu Jingqiu's enthusiasm.
At the dinner table, most of the things they talked about were work, and Lu Jingqiu was not easy to interject, so he ate silently like that, while listening, and through their conversations, he knew that Jiang Nanzhou was at the level of battalion commander as soon as he took office.
Lu Jingqiu was surprised and said, "Seeing that Comrade Jiang is very young, he is so young and promising." ”
Li Huakun said with a smile: "Jiang Nanzhou has been a soldier for eight years, and the year before last, he was recommended by the army to go to a junior college for two years before he transferred here, but this kid is not young, he is already twenty-six years old, and he is not married yet." ”
Jiang Nanzhou glanced at Li Huakun, turned his head and corrected: "Don't listen to her nonsense, I'm only twenty-five." ”
"Twenty-five." It's not small, it's not small to be unmarried in this era, but people are really attractive, tsk, if he puts it in the future, he will be designated as a male star.
When the words came to this, Lu Xianrun took the opportunity to talk about when he was twenty-five, when he had been married for three years, but at that time, there was no Qiu'er in his family: "Your generation is different from us, and you are not in a hurry to get married." Many young men in our team are waiting to fight for their careers, and I also said to the political commissar that when will I prepare a sorority party for you. ”
"Dad, it's good to fight for a career, with a career you have money, with money can the family be stable, and a stable family can be happy."
Lu Xianrun was stunned for a moment, realized something, and said, "What's the reason?" Where do you think so? ”
"Our unit is full of literati."
"Men fight for their careers, but women don't. Your aunt told me a few days ago that the son of a colleague of hers works in a motor factory, and he is a good person, and she wants you to "have not been in a hurry for a year since your wife died, but there is a good thing to meet."
"Dad, you're done eating, I'll clean it up." Lu Jingqiu secretly scolded herself, and without waiting for Lu Xianrun to finish speaking, she picked up the dishes beside her and ran to the kitchen.
