Chapter 153
At the same time, in the old mansion of the Lu family.
Originally, the house where the Lu family lived had long been used as a brigade office and warehouse, and now the so-called old mansion was where the long-term workers of the Lu family lived.
Who would have thought that Old Man Lu would put most of the Lu family's property in the place where Changgong lived?
Looking at the dilapidated house in front of him, Old Man Lu sighed deeply, and there were people who happened to be working around him, and after seeing this, he hurriedly persuaded him.
"Old man, don't be too sad, I heard from the people in the county, according to your situation, you have to return all the things you stole back then!"
"If you say donate, you have to donate." Old Man Lu waved his hand, "I didn't want to continue taking it." ”
"Oops!" The person who spoke was more anxious than Old Man Lu, "Don't be arrogant!" You are a big family, and there are two small ones, how can you live if you don't leave some money! ”
"No way!" Old Man Lu refused even more firmly, "We have hands and feet, and we don't need this money!" ”
"Someone needs this money more than we do!" Old Man Lu is righteous and stern, no matter how others persuade him, his attitude will always remain the same.
Seeing this, the persuader had no more words, and could only sigh: "It's good if you're happy." ”
The person walked away, and Old Man Lu still looked worried.
Lu Jing cleared his throat: "Grandpa, everyone is far away." ”
"I'm not worried that there are still people staring at us!" Old Man Lu gave Lu Jing a roll of his eyes angrily, "Don't you know that the people in the brigade have several pairs of eyes?" If one is not careful, what we have done today will be revealed. ”
"Grandpa is right!" Lu Qinghe immediately spoke up, lest Old Man Lu continue to scold Lu Jing, "Let's go and see the house first, so as to prepare for the later repairs." ”
Such a big house is not easy to repair.
Lu Jing snorted lightly, followed behind Old Man Lu, and said coldly: "Grandpa, have you already arrived?" ”
He didn't realize it before, and he usually doesn't come to this house.
But now, except for the fact that this house is broken, the materials are good, and even the ground is paved with green bricks, unlike the small courtyard where they live now is still muddy, and it will not look like it when it rains, he has heard Xia Yao complain many times.
Old Man Lu didn't speak, but when Lu Jing looked at it like this, he understood: "It seems that you did keep a hand." ”
"Stinky boy!" Old Man Lu raised his hand and gave Lu Jing a violent shudder, "If I don't leave a hand, where will we live?" ”
"I made a special renovation of this house at the beginning." When Old Man Lu said this, he admired his foresight, "At that time, your grandmother said that I didn't need to do this, she didn't expect it, and now we will use it." ”
At that time, repairing such a courtyard was a breeze for the Lu family, and the money used was also a drop in the bucket.
Unexpectedly, the eyes he kept back then really have an effect now.
He sighed at the thought of this.
"Let's go, see if it's still there."
The three of them pushed the door open, and after three years, the yard was overgrown with weeds and dilapidated.
But the green bricks on the ground are intact, and the walls are not damaged, but there are weeds growing on the tiles, which looks really desolate.
Old Man Lu didn't go directly to the place where he was hiding things, but now took a turn in the yard.
There are eight rooms in this courtyard, as well as two kitchens, which is more than enough for their family.
"Clean up all these weeds." Old Man Lu said this, but he glanced at Lu Jing and Lu Qinghe.
As soon as the two brothers saw it, they knew what Old Man Lu was planning.
"Okay."
The two immediately agreed, and Old Man Lu walked slowly under an osmanthus tree.
He patted the osmanthus tree, and a smile appeared in his eyes, especially after discovering that the weeds here were particularly dense, and it was obvious that no one had touched them.
"Give me a shovel." Old Man Lu said angrily, "The stones in here should also be taken care of." ”
Lu Jing knew that he said these words to hide people's eyes, but he still threw the shovel to him.
Old Man Lu bowed down and carefully dug up under the osmanthus tree.
After digging from morning to afternoon, Old Man Lu finally dug out the box hidden underneath.
A half-human-tall box appeared in front of the three of them.
"Luckily, I was prepared." Old Man Lu looked at this box and sighed with emotion.
The locks on the boxes are still intact, apparently no one has touched them.
He patted the box and said to the two: "Back then, the situation was turbulent, and I was always worried about whether it would endanger our own family, so I deliberately put away some important things. ”
"This harvest is more than ten years." Old Man Lu sighed with emotion.
More than ten years later, the box finally saw the light of day.
"Xiaojing." Old Man Lu beckoned to Lu Jing, "Look at our family background, don't do those things in the future, it's dangerous!" Don't forget, you still have a daughter-in-law! ”
Lu Jing didn't answer, but Old Man Lu saw from his eyes that he still hadn't dispelled the idea of speculation, and patted his head angrily: "What are you thinking in your head?" ”
Seeing that Old Man Lu was about to open his mouth to scold, Lu Qinghe hurriedly said, "Grandpa, it's not good for us to bring back such a big box, let's stay here first." ”
"I always feel that there are still a lot of people staring at our house, although the county is chaotic, but there are still some people who listen to the rumors before and want to find something from our house?"
Lu Qinghe's words were exactly what Old Man Lu was worried about.
He snorted coldly: "How long have those rumors been circulating?" There are still people who believe it! ”
However, he still nodded: "Then you take out some things that are good to sell, and then bury the box back, at least these years, we won't need the contents anymore." ”
"If you want to hide it, you have to hide it deeper." Lu Jing spoke, "If our family suddenly has money, those people don't have to guess to know that we have good things at home." ”
"It's still buried in the same way." Lu Jing proposed, "As for the past few years...... Just ......"
Old Man Lu didn't wait for Lu Jing to finish speaking, and guessed his next words.
"Do you want us to eat Yaoyao like you?" Old Man Lu narrowed his eyes and stared at Lu Jing deadly, "Aren't you afraid that others will poke you in the back?" You're embarrassed to eat soft rice! ”
"It's a very good time." Lu Jing didn't move at all, "Grandpa, instead of taking the risk to sell these things, it's not a big deal to recite a name." ”
As soon as Old Man Lu wanted to speak, he saw that his eldest grandson, who had always been steady, also nodded, and echoed: "Grandpa, don't worry, when we are completely rested, I will also go to work, and I will definitely not shorten your eating and drinking, etc., these things should be buried here first." ”
Both of them had such a thought, and Old Man Lu had to give up.
"Okay, okay!" He waved his hand, "Bury the box, don't be discovered." ”
Inside such a big box, it is his future capital.
Lu Jing and Lu Qinghe's movements were much faster, they not only buried the box again, but also carried the green bricks into it intact, plus the weeds in the entire yard were pulled out, and the color of the soil under the osmanthus tree was different and nothing abrupt, except for the people who knew that something was buried, no one could see that there was another mystery here.
Old Man Lu sighed: "Repair and renovate again, and come back tomorrow." ”
Although life is a little hard, it is more important for the family to be together than anything else.
At home, Xia Yao and Yang Sisi have been busy in the kitchen for a long time.
Originally, Yang Sisi thought that having a chicken was enough, but who knew that Xia Yao also rode a bicycle to the county seat, and he didn't know where to buy three catties of pork belly back.
There were crockpots on top of the two small iron stoves, and the aroma of chicken soup wafted out, Lu Tiantian and Lu Changbai had already squatted at the door of the kitchen and refused to leave, and even Lu Wan smelled the fragrance and walked out.
The three of them looked at the two crockpots with blank eyes, and their saliva was about to flow out.
Seeing this, Yang Sisi laughed: "It's really a little gluttonous cat." ”
"Come on, come on." Xia Yao opened the crockpot, took out a bowl, and filled three pieces of braised pork, "You taste salty." ”
Lu Tiantian immediately picked up a piece, Lu Changbai was also used to Xia Yao doing this, and after saying thank you to his aunt, he also ate a piece, only Lu Wan, her eyes showed longing, but she didn't dare to stretch out her hand.
"Open your mouth." Xia Yao's voice was gentle, "I'll feed you." ”
Lu Wan looked at Xia Yao, and finally slowly opened her mouth.
Maybe she was saved by Xia Yao that day, she was always special to Xia Yao.
Yang Sisi looked at this scene, his eyes were a little moist.
At this moment, the three people who had gone out came back.
Old Man Lu smelled the fragrance from a distance, and he was still thinking on the way, who has this craft at home? Who knows that the closer you are to home, the stronger this aroma will be.
He was a little suspicious: "This is Sisi's craft?" ”
It shouldn't be!
"It's Xia Yao." Lu Jing corrected.
Lu Qinghe also smiled and said: "Sisi Ke doesn't have this skill, she can only make white water stew." ”
What's more, their conditions on the farm are difficult, in the past three years, they have eaten cabbage every meal, and only when they catch hares and pheasants can they fight tooth sacrifices, Yang Sisi is impossible to practice such a good craft.
Old Man Lu came back to his senses, even though he was over sixty years old, under the temptation of food, he still quickly quickened his pace, and said: "I didn't expect Yao Yao to be so powerful!" As soon as you smell it, you know it's delicious! ”
The domineering aroma of braised pork swept through the neighborhood, and anyone passing by could smell it.
But everyone also understands the reunion of the Lu family and has no opinion on it.
Only the gloomy eyes of Old Lady Tian swept the dilapidated courtyard wall of the Lu family.
Her son is suffering, and this group is doing well!
