Rebirth 1983: Starting from taking back the family property

A group of people walked and talked, and soon arrived at Lujiacun.

Arriving outside Uncle Lu's house, Lu Jiajie shouted loudly: Auntie, Second Sister-in-law, Xiaoqiu, we are back.

As soon as he finished speaking, more than ten people poured out of the courtyard. All these people were talking around Lu Jiaxin, but Lu Jiaxin didn't understand and looked confused.

Uncle Lu shouted loudly: What are you doing standing around outside? Go inside quickly.

The eldest aunt was cooking in the kitchen and was a step slower than the others. When she saw Lu Jiaxin, her eyes immediately turned red: How come you are so thin and your face is so pale? How much sin have you suffered?

After saying that, tears fell down.

Lu Jiaxin couldn't understand what she said, but she knew the situation of the Lu family. Uncle Lu has been a party secretary for many years and has great prestige, and he is always consistent at home; the eldest aunt is a typical good Chinese wife, she listens to Uncle Lu in everything, she is also tolerant, busy from morning to night and never complains. The couple has three sons. The eldest son, Lu Jiaguang, is upright and kind. The next two sons are also down-to-earth and hard-working. The three daughters-in-law who have married into the family are also diligent and filial.

Second Uncle Lu could never stand while lying down, while Second Auntie was very calculating. They have three sons and two daughters. The eldest son is also very hard-working. The second son was adopted by Aunt Lu’s natal brother. The two daughters are also caught both inside and outside. The laziest is Lu Jiajie. He can always find various reasons to escape from working at home. Fortunately, in the beginning I worked hard to get into high school and moved to the city after graduation.

Uncle Lu scolded: What are you crying for? Xinxin's return is a happy event. Quickly wipe away your tears and bring food to the child. The child is so sick that he vomited bile, and now his stomach is empty.

Lu Jiajie said from the side: Xinxin just vomited, so she can't eat greasy things. Auntie, give her a bowl of chicken noodle soup. The oil must be wiped off, otherwise she may vomit after eating it.

The eldest aunt gently patted Lu Jiaxin's hand, told her to go inside to rest, and then went into the kitchen.

Everyone gathered around Lu Jiaxin and entered a spacious room, which was the bedroom of Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu. It's said to be a room, but it's actually a cave dwelling.

People here still live in cave dwellings, unlike later when economic conditions improved and many people moved into buildings. However, cave dwellings also have their advantages. They do not occupy cultivated land, do not damage the topography, and are conducive to ecological balance. Cave dwellings also have the advantage of being warm in winter and cool in summer.

There are three types of cave dwellings, namely earth kilns, stone kilns and brick kilns. The earth kiln is made by manually cutting a section of the cliff according to the terrain, or on a natural vertical cliff, or on a steep slope, and then digs it out. In brick kilns, clay is first fired into bricks, and then cave dwellings are built on soft loess soil. Stone kilns are mostly made according to the texture, texture and color of local stone kilns.

The uncle of the Lu family lives in a brick kiln, an eight-hole cave dwelling with a large yard outside. The cave house where the old couple lived was the largest. The bed was next to the window and the light was bright. There is an Eight Immortals table and four benches placed in the room, where Uncle Lu used to talk when he was party secretary.

Walking inside, Lu Jiaxin was quite novel. When she traveled to the ancient capital, she even visited cave dwellings. She visited the earthen kiln. Because of the poor lighting, the room was very dark and the walls were colorful and dilapidated. But the inner walls of this cave are flat and smooth, with plenty of light and bright and clean windows.

Lu Jiajie said with a smile: Jiaxin, your room is next to it. It was originally the room of the second brother and the second sister-in-law. The uncle said that you like a spacious house, so he asked the second brother to clean up the room.

Uncle Lu felt that Lu Jiajie was only tall but not smart. He said this as if Xinxin was occupying the second child's room: Jiaxin, don't listen to his nonsense. You stayed in that room last time. I wanted you to live in another room. I'm not used to cave dwellings, so I asked your second brother and second sister-in-law to free up the house for you to live in.

Lu Jiaxin is a good person, so she naturally knows why he wants to explain: Uncle, I'm sorry for causing you trouble.

Uncle Lu scolded Lu Jiaxin with a straight face: If a family is too polite, it won't be like a family. Girl, don't say such things again in the future.

Lu Jiaxin responded obediently, and then waved to the little girl holding two little tweets: Come, come to my sister-in-law.

Lu Jiajie laughed loudly after hearing this and said, This is Niuniu, Niuniu, please call me aunt.

Old Dalu Iemitsu married late and had children late because he was in the army. Lu Jiazong got married early while working as a farmer. He became a father at the age of eighteen. His first two sons also became fathers at the age of eighteen. Now he has three grandchildren.

Lu Jiaxin was embarrassed. She was still a child herself, but she didn't expect to be an aunt. This seniority is really big enough.

The third child, Lu Jiayao, smiled and said, Jiaxin, the last time you came here, Niu Niu was just born, and you hugged her, don't you remember?

Lu Jiaxin said sheepishly: Third brother, I'm sorry, I had a head injury and forgot something.

Uncle Lu told everyone about her injury and amnesia, and then introduced her to the family members again.

The Lu family are all tall and good-looking, and their skin has been tanned bronze from working in the fields all year round. It's just that Lu Jiazong and Lu Jiayao look alike. If they don't live with them all year round, they will suddenly admit their mistakes.

Before Lu Jiaxin came, she not only bought snacks, but also bought gifts for the children. The little girl's is a rag doll, and the little boy's is a green frog.

Niuniu was holding a pink and tender little bunny doll, and her two pockets were also filled with snacks such as White Rabbit toffee and peeled pills. She was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

Lu Jiajie thought Lu Jiaxin was too generous, and the tin frog cost a few dollars a piece. In order to save money, Lili was reluctant to buy them for Qiangqiang. This girl bought four of them.

Uncle Lu's eyes twitched when he saw her buying so many things. This girl spent too much money. It's just that this is for great-grandchildren, so it's not easy to blame: How much these things cost, I will let your aunt give them to you later.

Lu Jiaxin touched Niuniu's head and said with a smile: Niuniu, do you like this doll?

It was the first time for Niuniu to receive a doll at this age. She was so excited: I like it, I like it so much. Thank you, great aunt.

Lu Jiaxin looked up at Uncle Lu and said with a smile: Uncle, every time my mother came back, she would bring gifts for everyone. Now that my mother is gone, I don't know what to buy, so I just buy some small things for the children.

Uncle Lu sighed when he heard this. Such a good sister-in-law died so early. God is really unhappy.

Lu Jiajie changed the topic with a smile: Jiaxin, do you know how to play with this frog?

Of course Lu Jiaxin knew this. As long as this green frog with patterns was tightened, it would flop on the floor for a long time.

Niu Niu found it very interesting and shouted: Aunt, fourth uncle, I want to play too.

Lu Jiaxin took a green-skinned frog and was about to teach her how to play, when Aunt Lu came in with noodles.

There are two fried eggs lying on the noodles, and there are also shredded cucumbers, because the chicken broth used as the soup base is fragrant. Lu Jiaxin's appetite whetted her appetite as soon as she saw it. She finished the noodles in three gulps.
