Reborn as a widow in the 70s

Lu Aiguo came back very late. When he got home, Song Xiuxiu and her two children had already had dinner.

Of course the meal was very quiet.

Song Xiuxiu was not in the mood. Although Yaya was young, she knew that her brother had caused trouble today and made her mother feel bad, so she did not dare to talk and make trouble as usual.

As for Zhao Xuewen, let alone talking, he didn't even take two bites of dinner.

After eating, Zhao Xuewen washed the dishes as usual and then went back to his room to pack his schoolbag and prepare to go to school tomorrow.

Not long after Lu Aiguo came back, Song Xiuxiu saw that he hadn't eaten yet, so she took out the food that was warm in the pot.

"You sit there and rest for a while, I can do it myself!" the man said while washing his hands.

After Song Xiuxiu set the meal for him, she moved a stool and sat next to him and watched him eat.

"Daughter-in-law, do you miss me? Why don't you stay here while you eat?"

The man pinched the woman's chin and said teasingly.

Song Xiuxiu pushed away his big hand and said seriously: "I have something to tell you!"

Then she told Lu Aiguo what happened to Zhao Xuewen today.

The man frowned slightly after hearing this, and couldn't help but slow down the chewing in his mouth.

"Don't worry about this, I'll talk to him!"

Song Xiuxiu said with some worry: "Don't be harsh on him, I should have known that he was wrong from the look on his face today!"

"Don't worry, I know what's going on!" After saying that, he started eating faster.

After finishing the meal, Lu Aiguo went directly to Zhao Xuewen's room.

At this moment, Zhao Xuewen was lying in front of his desk, thinking hard about the self-reflection letter.

In fact, he had been feeling very uneasy inside.

From the moment Lu Aiguo walked into the house, Zhao Xuewen felt as if he was a criminal waiting to be sentenced, and the torment was as long as seconds.

So when Lu Aiguo approached his house, Zhao Xuewen's heart immediately rose, and it even became difficult to breathe.

"Are you doing your homework?" The man asked in a deep voice standing at the door.

Zhao Xuewen shook his head and whispered: "It's a self-examination letter!"

"I'll write later, come out and stay with me for a while!"

After saying that, the man was about to leave. Before leaving, he did not forget to say: "Don't forget to wear some clothes!"

Zhao Xuewen responded softly, put down the pen in his hand, picked up the cotton-padded jacket beside him, and walked out.

The moon in the sky and the snow on the ground illuminated the yard much brighter than usual.

It was so bright that Zhao Xuewen could clearly see the slight stubble on Lu Aiguo's stern and serious face.

"Uncle Lu!"

The man seemed to be thinking about something, but his words brought him back to reality.

"sit down!"

Lu Aiguo took two small benches from the side and placed them behind him and Zhao Xuewen.

It's very cold after it snows, especially at night, it can get as low as [-] to [-] degrees below zero.

Although he was very cold, Lu Aiguo had no intention of entering the room to talk.

"What's going on today!" the man asked in a deep voice.

Zhao Xuewen paused and said: "We were having a snowball fight with the small landowners, and I accidentally hit Deng Erhu in the forehead with a snowball wrapped in stones, breaking his head!"

Zhao Xuewen's voice became smaller and smaller, until finally it was so quiet that only he could hear it.

Lu Aiguo knew clearly that what he was telling was not the truth, but he did not expose him and continued to ask.

"Remember what I taught you!"

"Remember!"

"Then why did you hit the other person on the head!"

"I did not mean it!"

"Do you think I will believe that you didn't mean it!"

Zhao Xuewen was silent. Uncle Lu knew his ability to throw stones, so the lie of accidentally throwing stones would not make sense to him at all!

When the man saw that he was silent, he stopped pursuing the issue and asked directly.

"Why should you take the blame for others!"

This sentence immediately stunned Zhao Xuewen, and he stammered: "I...I..."

Lu Aiguo teased: "Why, after playing with those boys for so long, have you even learned the habit of stumbling when talking!"

"I didn't!" Zhao Xuewen whispered.

Lu Aiguo: "Since you don't stutter when you speak, then you can speak happily like a man!"

Seeing that nothing could be hidden from him, Zhao Xuewen told the truth.

"It was the small landlords who provoked me first today. I remembered what you taught me. Don't be impulsive when faced with provocations from others. I didn't plan to fight, but I didn't want my brothers to be insulted, so I thought of a compromise. The solution is to have a snowball fight!"

"It was fine at first, but Deng Erhu suddenly got his head smashed. I was confused at the time and didn't know who did it."

"When I asked them outside the health center, they all confidently said it wasn't them!"

"Later the teacher called us and my aunt in, and I realized that the small landowner had identified me."

"I originally wanted to confront him, but then Shouhou suddenly stood up and looked at me imploringly. What else could I not understand?"

"He called me boss. As their leader, I can't betray my brother. That would be unloyal!"

"So I had no choice but to bite the bullet and admit it, causing both my aunt and Yaya to suffer the injustice along with me!"

After listening to Zhao Xuewen's story, Lu Aiguo asked curiously: "You have a grudge against the small landlord!"

Zhao Xuewen: "It's not really a grudge, just a bit of a festival!"

"He used to bully Qian Dasheng and Douzi. I just helped them out and offended the small landowner!"

Lu Aiguo: "Remember one sentence, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain!"

"This kind of person will try to kill you if he gets the chance. Before you are strong enough to make him afraid, the best way is to stay away!"

"I still say the same thing, life is long and beautiful, don't waste your time on people like this!"

Zhao Xuewen nodded and said, "Uncle Lu, I understand!"

Lu Aiguo continued to say seriously: "Now we are going to talk about you taking the blame for others!"

"Do you think you act like a boss in this way? It's great!"

Zhao Xuewen said cautiously: "As a boss, shouldn't you protect your brothers?"

Lu Aiguo: "As the boss, I have the responsibility to protect my brothers, not just blindly!"

"When they suffer injustice and are bullied, of course you have to stand up and seek justice for them."

“But what if they were bullies!”

"Are you also on their side? How is that different from the gangs and underworld in the old society!"

"You took the responsibility for stoning people for him today. If he is caught stealing something tomorrow, will you take the responsibility?"

"He broke the national law the day after tomorrow, are you responsible for it?"

"You think you are talking about brotherly loyalty, but you don't know that you are harming others and yourself!"

"You are a smart kid, you should be able to understand without me having to say anything!"

Zhao Xuewen looked at the snow not far away and nodded heavily, saying: "I understand, I understand everything!"
