60s researcher

"That's good, that's good." Lu's mother felt more relieved, and her son could take care of each other when they went with Jian Mingyuan this time.

Not wanting to make Mother Lu and the others too sad, Lu Jian hurriedly said, "Mother, when the time comes, I'll pick you up and go to the capital to play after I've settled down."

Lu's mother waved her hands quickly, her face full of resistance, "I can't go to this capital, besides, there are so many children at home for me to take care of, and your father is the captain of the brigade, so how can I go away?" In a panic, it would be great to go to the capital to see her son, but she is just a country woman, illiterate, and has little knowledge. How can she rush to the capital? What if she embarrasses her son?

Lu Jian didn't understand what she was thinking, so he just persuaded: "Big brother and second brother are separated, you can help if you have nothing to do, why do you need to be so busy, besides, even if my father doesn't have time, you can let the third brother and the fourth Brother, they will take you to the capital."

Lu's father, who had been silent for a while, was not convinced, "What? I just want your mother to go to the capital, so your father and I can't go, right?"

Lu Jian: "..."

"No, of course I really hope that Dad will go with me."

Father Lu: "Then why I don't have time, let it go, your mother finds a way to take her there when she doesn't have time, and asks your brothers to see her off."

"..."

Lu Jian was speechless, why didn't he know that his father still had such unreasonable troubles.

The veins on Lu's mother's forehead were about to explode, "Who said you won't be allowed to go, isn't it because you can't let go of the thankless position of captain?"

Father Lu: "Anyway, I don't care. I can't go if I don't have time, and you can't go either. Let's be fair."

Mother Lu was about to explode, "Who says I can't go if you don't go, anyway, I don't care, I must go to the capital."

Lu's father squinted at her, "What are you going to do? Can't you settle down there?"

Lu's mother: "So what if I just go to settle down? I've had enough of you, don't you think I take too much care every day? It's just right to leave."

Seeing the two of them, Lu Jian felt that something was wrong. Father Lu seemed to be helping him to lure Mother Lu to the capital.He was thinking about it when he heard Lu's father say, "Do you want to go or not?"

Mother Lu: "I'll go. I'll send Xiao Wu to the capital and I won't be back."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Lu's father laughing in satisfaction. She glanced at Lu Jian again, and she could clearly feel his good mood, and then she also felt that something was wrong. What did she say just now...

"Okay, you old man, did you deliberately dig a hole for me? Just tell me why you talk so much today!" Only then did she realize that she was determined not to go to the capital before, what should she do now.

Father Lu looked helpless, "I don't say that. If you are willing to go, you are already old. You can care about them growing up, marrying and having children, and you can care about them for the rest of their lives. You can go to the capital with Lao Wu to have a look. play for fun."

"Then why don't you go?" Mother Lu hesitated.

"There are so many things in the team, how can I get away." Father Lu shook his head.

Lu Jian said cautiously: "Father, you have to give up the position of the captain, and then move to the capital with me."

Father Lu frowned, "We are old, what are we going to do with you? Then we will eat and drink for nothing, and we will have no income at all. Isn't it causing you trouble?"

Lu Jian was a little anxious, "How come, you moved with my household registration, and you all have food, besides, the institute will arrange a house for us. My monthly salary is more than 100 now, plus I still have a lot of money with the previous bonus." Lu Jian is still a little worried about them, now they are separated, and the eldest brother and the second brother don't live with their parents, so they must not take good care of them. He went so far away , It's rare to come back if something happens.

Father Lu shook his head, "No, I'm in good health, and I haven't retired yet."

Mother Lu on the side snorted coldly, "Just your body..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but the implication was that Lu Jian also knew that Lu's father had injured his front leg, and his bones would always hurt when it rained, and he couldn't bear the damp and cold.This problem can't be eradicated, it can only be taken care of, but it's a pity that Lu's father is a restless person, and this problem has never improved.

Father Lu felt that he was in the wrong, and kept silent.

Seeing this, Lu's mother and Lu Jian had nothing to do.

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and finally Father Lu spoke, "Isn't Lu Jian leaving next year? Don't worry about this for now. I'll see if you have time. I will take you to the capital with your mother."

This is a compromise. Lu Jian also thinks that the future will be long, at least take them to the capital to have a look. Although Lu's mother said that she will go to the capital just now, Lu Jian knows that if Lu's father does not go, Lu's mother will definitely not go .

Mother Lu has no objection either, and it's getting late, "Xiao Wu, you go wash up first, and I'll make the bed for you."

Lu Jian: "I can do it myself."

"I'll come, you don't know where to put things." Lu's mother stood up without refusing, Lu saw that she had no choice but to let her go, maybe every mother is like this, always wanting to help when the child comes back do something about it.

Lu Jian returned to his room after taking a shower. Mother Lu had already packed the room and went out. He closed the door and lay on the bed, and he could clearly smell the sunlight on the quilt.It seems that Lu's mother must often take out his quilt to dry.

After Lu Jian finished talking about this important event, he felt much more relieved, but before going to bed, he still thought about how to take Lu's father and mother to the capital, but the hope was too slim.

Lu Jian woke up early the next morning. After waking up, he went to the kitchen to have a look. Inside, Lu's mother was making breakfast. The breakfast was very simple, a pot of sweet potato porridge and three boiled eggs.

"Oh, why did you wake up? Breakfast isn't ready yet." Lu's mother was still a little surprised when she saw him.

"Wake up when you're full of sleep." Lu Jian smiled, it was already seven o'clock, not too early.

"Has my father gone out yet?" Lu Jian looked around, but he didn't find Father Lu.

"Yeah, I don't know what I'm busy with all day, I went out before dawn." There were some intimate complaints in her words.

"..."

Lu Jian didn't speak any more, looked around the kitchen, and found that there was not much firewood inside, thinking to himself, he went to the yard to look again, and there was no firewood outside, it seemed that there was really none.

He ran to the eaves of the yard to find the axe, and just as he found it, Lu's mother's voice sounded, "Breakfast is ready, Xiao Wu."

"Here we come." Lu Jian hurried in.

In the main room, Mother Lu had already brought two bowls of porridge and three boiled eggs on the table.

"Aren't you waiting for my dad?"

"No, just keep it for him. I don't know where he went early in the morning?"

Lu Jian nodded, sat down, picked up a bowl of porridge and drank it.

Lu's mother was very happy to see him like this. She took an egg from the table and peeled it. Every single white and tender egg came out. She put the eggs into Lu Jian's bowl, "Come on, eat eggs , these are fresh eggs this morning."

Lu Jian also quickly took an egg and peeled it and put it in Lu's mother's bowl, "Mom, you can eat too."

"It's rare for you to go home. These eggs are specially prepared for you. You can eat them yourself, and leave one for your father." Mother Lu picked up the eggs and wanted to return them to Lu Jian.

Lu Jian quickly turned around and put his bowl aside.

"There are three in total, one for each person is just right. Where can I eat two for myself?" Lu saw that he finished the porridge and eggs in the bowl without waiting for her to speak.

"Hey hey..."

"I've finished eating." There wasn't much breakfast, and the porridge was full of water. Lu Jian compared the empty bowl to Mother Lu.

Lu's mother was helpless, "There is still in the pot."

Lu Jian shook his head: "I ate late last night, and I'm not hungry now." After speaking, he took the empty bowl back to the kitchen, cleaned it up and put it back in place.

When he went out, Lu's mother was still eating slowly. Lu Jian walked over and sat down, "Mom, are you going to work today?"

Lu's mother: "I don't need to go to the fields, but I have to go to the mountains to collect some pigweed, and I also need to clean the pig pens in the brigade."

Hunting pigweed is okay, it's easier than going to work in the field, and it doesn't take much time, but it's hard to find pigweed at this time.

Thinking about the firewood, Lu Jian quickly said, "Mom, shall I go to the mountain with you? I don't think there is much firewood at home, so I just go up the mountain to get some."

Mother Lu shook her head quickly when she heard this, "It's hard for you to rest for two days. Why do you need to work? After two days, your eldest brother and second brother will go up the mountain to collect firewood."

Lu Jian held Lu's mother's hand, "Mother, you also said that it is rare for me to come back, so let me do something? The eldest brother and the second brother have always taken care of you, so you have to give me a chance to show it!"

Lu's mother was helpless by him, so she could only agree, "Okay."

After the two finished their meal, they packed up the house, one carried a basket on his back, took a sickle and an ax and went up the mountain. When they left, they just kept the gate ajar.Their folk customs are relatively simple, and no one dares to steal things from the captain's house.

The October sun here is relatively strong. Before going out, Mother Lu took two straw hats, one for each.

Almost all the villagers in the brigade got up at this point. Lu Jian and Lu's mother met many people on the way to the mountain. Everyone was very enthusiastic when they saw Lu Jian. They chased him to ask about the things in the city. People followed them, and they also went up the mountain to cut firewood.

Lu Jian is quite polite, and he will answer their questions, as long as it doesn't involve his work and some things that are hard to say.

A group of young people are all from their place, most of them are surnamed Lu, and they have the same ancestor as Lu Jian, so they can be regarded as relatives.Most of them haven't read much, and even if they read, they haven't graduated from elementary school.The farthest place they have been to is the town. They have never seen many things that Lu Jian said, and their eyes are shining.
