Chapter 73
Chapter 60 All over the house
“Brother, I will help you carry things, I’m hungry, so I go home quickly, Mom has done the meal.”
Lu Ze didn’t refuse, and directly handed over the luggage to Lu Nan. It would be meaningless to stop his sister from working, and even the schoolbag he was carrying was thrown to Lu Nan.
“Dad, it’s so cold, why are you coming out, let’s go, I will help you and go home.”
stretched out his hand to embrace Lu Weiguo’s arm, Lu Ze saw the two missing fingers on his father’s hand hurt in his heart, and helped Lu Weiguo walk slowly home.
“It’s good to get a little fatter when you go out.”
Lu Weiguo did not refuse Lu Ze’s support because he had arthritis in both legs. When it snowed, his legs would hurt and he couldn’t move. Usually, no one was supporting him and he had to take crutches.
Lu Weiguo is forty-eight this year, but his appearance looks like fifty-eight. Only by taking photos of him when he was young can he be handsome and handsome at the time, more handsome than Lu Ze now.
It’s just that his fate is more rough than his looks. He dropped out of school at the age of fourteen and began to go to the battlefield to fill the truck with sand. He used a shovel to load a large trailer.
I got married at the age of 20, so I went to the logging yard to fight against trees from the mountain. The wood with a diameter of 30 upwards resisted with the two front and back feet, and the 30 downwards were carried by Lu Weiguo alone. Loading and pulling away.
Lu Ze still remembers that his father wore a hood when he was working, and he was tired of sweat while carrying a large piece of wood. Until now, Lu Weiguo’s shoulders have thicker calluses than normal heels.
At the age of thirty-eight, he quit his job as a wood-carrying worker. At that time, his two knees were already suffering from a lot of problems. There was no alternative but to take Li Yumei away from the country to work as a migrant worker in the city and find a job at a construction site Lu Ze and Lu Nan became left-behind children.
Although working as a migrant worker all day long, the income is really good, but the good times are not long. When Lu Weiguo used steel bars for two years, he made a mistake in his operation. The ring finger and little finger of his right hand were cut off. This is not the most terrible thing. He got up and poke Lu Weiguo’s left eye.
The critical illness notice was issued four times, and even when I first arrived at the hospital, I almost didn’t get rescued. It was really the darkest moment of the old Lu family. Although the compensation on the construction site solved most of the treatment costs, it was a corner. This family cannot afford it.
emptied the family, the family’s ten acres of land was handed over to the brigade and the seven acres in exchange for the money had not been warmed up, so it was directly given to the hospital and owed more than 100,000 foreign debts.
Fortunately, when the family was about to die, Lu Weiguo finally survived, except that part of the tissue between the **** that were cut off was lost due to the sawtooth cut, and it was no longer sutured, and his left eye was also blind.
It was also because of this change that Lu Ze had to drop out of school to work to fill the family. It took four years to finally plug the hole in the foreign debt even with capital and profit.
But now it’s getting better. I bought two machines with my spare money, one for rice production and one for noodle milling. When harvesting food, I can make a thousand or eight hundred handicraft money in one month. The money returned can barely be maintained.
“I bought the plaster in my box. Go back and put it on to see if it works. If it works, I will mail it back to you monthly.”
helped Lu Weiguo and chatted about the housework. The three of them returned home. The snow in the large yard of the house had been swept clean, and the chimney on the roof was emitting smoke.
“Mom, my brother is back!”
Pushed open the iron gate of the yard. When Lu Nan was not honest, he started shouting when he entered the yard.
“Can you be like a girl? Are you owed to clean up you?”
Trained Lu Nan, the girl squashed her mouth, and deliberately stamped her feet on the ground. Lu Ze was not used to her problem, so she got stuffy on her butt.
Pushing open the door, the room is much warmer than the outside. Both stoves in the east and west rooms are burning. The temperature should be 25 or 6 degrees, and it will not be cold even with half sleeves.
“Mom, I’m back.”
took the broom to clean the snow from the shoes, and Lu Ze greeted Li Yumei when he saw Li Yumei busy in the kitchen.
“It’s just finished cooking, just serve it directly, Xiaonan, hurry up and serve your rice bowl, Daze, do you have sweet potatoes? Mom will bake two for you? The yellow sweet potatoes are fresh from the ground, but sweet.”
“Okay, let’s warm up.”
When I went home, I didn’t have that gloomy energy. The whole family were people who didn’t express their feelings very much. Lu Ze didn’t say much, but felt that he was at home a lot.
I took off the jacket and the long sleeves inside, opened the closet and looked for two old clothes to put on. It was strange to say that Lu Ze was 1.83 meters old in the third year of junior high. The old man guessed that Lu Ze could grow to two meters, but In three years of high school, Lu Ze only grew one centimeter, and after graduating from high school, he never grew one centimeter.
Whenever he came home, Lu Ze didn’t want anything, he just greeted Li Yumei’s cooking, which was more fragrant than fried outside. He washed his hands and sat on a stool. Lu Nan blanched Lu Weiguo and Lu Ze with white wine. When the chopsticks are brought up, eat directly.
“How was the exam? Did you fail?”
With a bit of food, Lu Ze asked about Lu Nan’s grades as usual. This topic has always been asked by Lu Ze. There is no need for the old couple to open their mouths. If the test is not good, without the parents, Lu Ze will squeeze Lu Nan’s hair. Pull out and have a fight.
“The exam is doing well! The scholarship is available this year, 6,000 yuan!”
“There is not a difference of 6,000 yuan at home now, you can take your own test, don’t spend it, come on, dad.”
Since Lu Nan’s academic performance was acceptable, the other Lu Ze didn’t ask any more questions. After all, he is a big girl, and it is necessary to have a little privacy.
After bumping into a cup with his father, Lu Ze thought about it, and then he talked about the next topic.
“When the spring starts next year, let’s push the house and build another one. I can make some money in the next year, enough to build a new house.”
These words surprised the three of them. Li Yumei was a little bit distressed about the money, and she really felt that the house at home was pretty good, so she raised an objection without repairs.
“Why are you building a house? My father and I live in the house. Both of you are outside now. This house is enough to live in. No need to build it.”
Lu Weiguo did not speak. Since the accident, he has become taciturn, but Lu Ze seems to have the same attitude.
took another sip of the white wine. The family paid for the food and craftsmanship, and looked for the pure grain wine made by the brewing master in the village. It is strong and looks like 56 or 7 degrees. It is delicious.
“I think so, either I will build a new house, or I will go to the city to buy you a flat. Anyone in the village who can afford it has moved out. I actually want you to live in the city, but I guess you can’t do it either. .”
Lu Ze thought about this question carefully, is it really good to go to the city? Although many relatives have moved to the city, they are too far apart and there are no close people around the old couple, so they will indeed be alone.
And the houses in the countryside are well built, living in it is no worse than the city, and even more comfortable than the city. After all, with Lu Ze’s financial resources, he can’t afford to buy a good house. Waiting for the pay of “Emperor Capital Youth”, according to Lu Hua’s house price of more than 5,000 square meters is actually enough to buy a house with a size of more than 100 square meters.
The most important thing is that the parents in the village still have many acquaintances. The neighbors on both sides have lived for decades. The relationship can’t be better. If something happens, you can have a caregiver and go to the city. They are all strangers, and few good neighbors will take care of you.
“I think this house is pretty good anyway.”
“Mom, believe me This house was built by my father, it should have been built long ago, listen to me, I will take the money.”
Now Li Yumei no longer speaks. Since Lu Weiguo lost the ability to work, the pillar of the family has been Lu Ze. Even if Lu Weiguo has something to do, he has to call her son to ask his opinion. Now Lu Ze is really determined to say something. If you build a house, then repair it. In other words, the child wants to be filial.
A meal was almost finished, and the father and son drank a lot. Lu Nan poured tea for the two, then picked up the table and washed the dishes.
“Xiao Nan, come out to play! Come out!”
“Brother, I didn’t go out to play with them, you know I bother them.”
Lu Nan panicked as soon as he heard someone shouting outside, fearing that her brother would beat her, so he quickly separated the relationship.
Hearing Lu Nan’s explanation, Lu Ze didn’t look pretty. He held a cigarette **** in his mouth and went out with a coat. He opened the door and there was a brick on the floor. Picking it up, no matter whether it hits someone or not, he slammed toward it. Throw it outside the courtyard.
“Come, come, let me see who loves to play so much, your mother, come over, I’ll go to your house and find you to play! I don’t want to let go of your leg, bastard.”
“Fuck, Daze is back, run quickly!”
A bunch of 18-year-old half-and-a-half boys dropped out of school and did not go out to work. They just stayed at home and worked as second-rate boys. Knowing that the Lu family’s second-born son is beautiful, he often verbalizes. Lu Ze used to carry a stick from house to house and beat him. Their parents are acquaintances, and they can climb relatives in the village. As long as they don’t break it, they sit on the kang head and eat sunflower seeds, and Lu Ze takes care of the unsatisfactory boy.
But just like that, these grandsons still have no skin and face, they always tease Lu Nan while Lu Ze is not at home.
Seeing Lu Ze coming back this time, the psychological shadow reappeared. He got on the electric car, quickly turned off the subwoofer, and drove away.
