Generally speaking, He Fangmin was from the previous generation. If they wanted to come over to talk about things, Lu Linshan or He Hui would do it.

Lu Shanhe just sat in his seat, eating pancakes and drinking rice porridge without saying anything.

Since the door was open, Lu Shanhe could see Li Haiyan and others standing outside.

As soon as Li Haiyan's eyes touched Lu Shanhe's, she was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head, as if she had done something wrong.

This is what Lu Shanhe wants.

If the officers from the police station had been called in to accuse Li Haiyan of stealing, Li Haiyan might have gone to jail.

Rather than letting her go to jail completely, it is better to make her fear Lu Shanhe. When she looks at Lu Shanhe, she will think about the fact that she has stolen things, so she will retreat and not dare to look at Lu Shanhe at all.

He Hui asked politely: "Dad, Mom, have you eaten?"

The two of them must have eaten early. In the slack season in the countryside, as long as there is no farm work to do, everyone eats earlier.

And most rural areas have two meals a day.

I get up early in the morning to water the vegetable fields and remove weeds in the rice fields. I have one meal at ninety o'clock and a second meal at four or five o'clock in the afternoon.

It’s not that everyone is losing weight, but the living conditions are very poor. Many families have large families with many children and cannot afford three meals.

Three meals a day only became popular in rural areas on a large scale after the 90s.

Even in the era when Lu Shanhe was reborn, many rural people only ate two meals a day.

Wang Sufen couldn't help but swallow as she looked at the fragrant pancakes fried in rapeseed oil, the fragrant white rice porridge, and the delicious meat dishes stir-fried with leftover meat dregs eaten by the workers.

This simple meal is better than what you have at home.

Wang Sufen missed the time when He Hui was at home more and more.

He Hui is clever and can cook deliciously. She is much more capable than her two daughters-in-law.

Wang Sufen felt aggrieved when she thought of this matter.

She curled her lips and said matter-of-factly: "You know why, but you still ask."

He Hui gave Lu Linshan a wink, and Lu Linshan took out two pairs of bowls and chopsticks from the small room, and served a bowl of rice porridge to He Fangmin and Wang Sufen.

The two of them were not polite and just slurped the rice porridge with their mouths. After the rice porridge reached their mouths, they made a clicking sound.

He Fangmin also poured all the oily soup from the pretty meat dishes into the bowl, as if he wanted to eat all the leftover soup into his stomach to feel comfortable.

Seeing this scene, Lu Shanhe didn't say anything.

He had no feelings at all for He Fangmin and Wang Sufen, but he also understood He Hui.

Even if He Hui suffered such a great grievance, the family affection in her heart could not be broken off at once.

Lu Shanhe couldn't persuade him about the relationship that had lasted for decades.

So the top priority is to build the house quickly, and live in separate houses on both sides, each living in his own way. The old man and the old woman can do whatever they want.

As long as they dare to have evil ideas against He Hui and Lu Linshan, Lu Shanhe will fight against them.

The door was open, and after a gust of wind blew by, the smell of the pig pen next door came over.

Lu Shanhe finished the pancake in his hand and stopped eating.

One is that the smell of the pigsty is really unpleasant. Even though he has lived here for more than 20 years, the smell still makes Lu Shanhe feel uncomfortable.

But fortunately, if we wait a few more months, the new house will be built by the Spring Festival next year at the latest, and we can move.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Shanhe wants to see what the two old people are going to do when they come here today and bring their uncle and his family with them.

After He Fangmin and Wang Sufen finished eating, He Fangmin said: "You just separated your family as soon as you said we were going to separate, and you didn't even say hello."

Lu Shanhe smiled.

Oh, this attitude really makes you think of yourself as a parent.

Lu Shanhe's guess was not wrong at all.

He Fangmin said: "Ah Hui, Lin Shan, before the separation, you also lived in the He family for decades."

"Lin Shan, you used to be an educated youth. At this time, you were still being criticized. Your conditions were poor and you had no food. It was our He family who took you in. Do you think I am right or wrong?"

"You have also lived in our house for so many years. You eat and use our food. We are all one family. Over the years, I haven't said much."

Lu Linshan put down the bowls and chopsticks, staring at the empty plate without saying a word.

The sun has set, and the house is dark inside. The kerosene lamp next to the stove flickers with the wind blowing in from outside.

"We can understand why female students are not admitted to university, but if you don't tell me about such a big thing as building a house, it's your fault this time."

Lu Shanhe stood up and poured a glass of water. He was not pouring it for He Fangmin, but for himself.

He wanted to see what kind of chat He Fangmin was going to create.

He Fangmin was really thick-skinned. Lu Linshan's conditions were indeed so poor that he married He Hui and lived in the He family.

But in the past few decades, Lu Linshan has done all the big and small jobs of the He family. Lu Linshan not only helped He Fangmin with work, but also helped the two brothers of the He family.

If we ignore emotions at all and only rely on the employment relationship of capital, the value created by Lu Linshan is far higher than the treatment He Fangmin gave him.

He Fangmin is so shameless that he has the nerve to bring this matter up!

He Fangmin licked the rice porridge in the bowl clean, put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "I have two requirements for building a house."

"First, you, Dayong and Dazhi, are a family after all. It's a slack time for the farmers and they are not busy with the work at hand. Let them come and help!"

"I'm not in good health. You can help me, and I'll come and help!"

"We also come here to eat three meals a day. What outsiders eat is what our family eats."

Upon hearing that their father had made the decision for themselves, the brothers He Dayong and He Dazhi clenched their fists in excitement.

Especially He Dazhi, who is so greedy for that Jiangcheng Daqu, he wishes he could open a bottle right now to get over his alcohol addiction.

He Fangmin's words sounded nice. On the surface, he meant that the family was short of labor. He asked He Dayong and He Dazhi to come over and help build the house. This was a huge favor for Lu Linshan.

If you don't know the virtues of the two brothers He Dayong and He Dazhi, you would think that the two brothers are really coming to help.

But Lu Shanhe knew very well, where did these two brothers come to help?

I just came here to eat and drink.

Let them come to build a house. After all, they will not do anything and will find all kinds of excuses to be lazy. When it is time to eat, they will run over and eat more than anyone else.

Lu Linshan and He Hui, of course, knew what He Fangmin was planning, whether to help or not to do the work. Didn't they just want to have three meals a day here, and meat and wine every day?

Lu Shanhe did not have an attack, but continued to drink water with a smile. He wanted to see He Fangmin's next performance.

He Fangmin made his second request.

"Ah Hui, Lin Shan, even if you two separate, I will keep the place where you live. You have also lived in the He family for so many years, and we are all one family."

"Your mother and I are old now, and we have to consider the issue of retirement. In the new house you built, you have to leave one room and two rooms for our old couple. We still have to come and live in it."
