60s researcher

Usually, there are at most two meat dishes in the rural wine list, or the kind with less meat and more side dishes. Sometimes there may be only a few pieces of meat in a bowl of dishes.This time, Mother Lu also prepared two meat dishes, one with roasted pork with potatoes and one with fried pork with fungus. The meat was quite a lot.

Most people in the Lu family are workers now, everyone will take money home, life is easier than many people in the city, but Lu's father and mother are very careful.Lu's father is still busy with team affairs every day, and Lu's mother and several daughter-in-laws in the family also go to work as usual.There were some acid words before, but then the establishment of the primary school and the sugar factory attracted everyone's attention there.

After talking with Lu's mother, Lu Jian went out, ready to see if there was anything he could help with, but as soon as he went out, he saw his grandparents and his uncle and his family coming over.Lu's father arranged them to sit on the chairs in the fourth brother's room. When he saw Lu Jian, he called Lu Jian to entertain them, and then went out by himself. There were still many things to arrange outside.

"Lu Jian, you're back. I've been here several times, but this is the first time I've seen you." As soon as Aunt Jiang saw Lu Jian, she ran over very affectionately.

"Grandma, grandpa, uncle and aunt." Lu Jian greeted them politely.

"Come on, Yuanzheng Yuancheng, this is your fifth cousin. He is amazing. You should study hard with him and become a technician in the future." Seeing that his attitude was still so good, Aunt Jiang quickly followed behind her. His two sons pulled out and pushed them in front of Lu Mian.

"Hello Fifth Cousin." The two little ones are about 12 years old, and they seem to be well-raised, chubby, and haven't suffered much.

"Hello." Lu Jian took out four candies from his pocket, and gave each of them two. These were the ones his mother stuffed in his pocket just now, for fear that some children would call him.

"Thank you, cousin five." The two little guys took the candy and thanked them. They seemed quite polite, and there was a big change from last time.

"Good!" Lu Jian smiled and patted the heads of the two children.

"No, these two children have been very sensible since they went to your elementary school here, and they come to your place for dinner from time to time." Grandma laughed, and since the two grandchildren came to school, they have also been affectionate to them a lot , The son and daughter-in-law did not go back to their natal homes at all times. The old couple has been in a good mood recently.

"?" Lu Jian was a little surprised.

"That's right, Lu sees you, don't you take a break during Chinese New Year? Just teach the two children some skills, and you don't have to be as good as you. Just wait a few years and help them find a factory." Before Lu saw After continuing to say something, Aunt Jiang looked at Lu Jian eagerly and began to speak.

"..."

"Your aunt is right, see Lu, they are all your cousins, you must help!" Uncle Jiang also said.

"Uncle and aunt, you think highly of me. The factory belongs to the state, and I didn't open it. If I let me in, I will let in." Lu Jian smiled helplessly, and was not in a good mood because of this family.

"Lu Jian, I heard them talk nonsense, help if you can, and forget it if you can't." At this time, grandpa finally spoke, and it seemed that he was helping Lu Jian, but the more Lu Jian heard it, the more he felt that the meaning was wrong.

"I can't help here. Didn't Lu Jian get Fenfen and her sisters into it before?" Hearing this, Lu Jian's aunt disagreed, and immediately yelled. Fortunately, all the guests are outside now, and the voices from outside are also loud. bigger.The uncle's family also knew that what they said was not good for others to know, so their voices were relatively quiet.

"If you can't help, you can't help." Suddenly there was a voice behind Lu Jian, but it was Lu's mother who heard the sound, and Lu Jian could hear the suppressed anger in her voice all at once.

"Why?" Aunt Jiang was not convinced.

"Just because I gave birth to the elder sister and the second sister, and you gave birth to these two, they just don't have that fate." Lu's mother said this mercilessly, and everyone's faces were very ugly except Lu Jian.

"What are you talking about? You were born to me." The grandma couldn't sit still, and immediately talked about her grandson. Her grandson's life is very good.

"Mother, I was born by you, but Lu Jian was not born by you. You have been kind to me, and you are qualified to ask me to do things for you, but Lu Jian is only related to you because of me. You are not qualified. Ask him." Mother Lu's words shocked Lu Jian too.

"He is filial to you because of me, and he is with you because of me. Father and mother, I only have so much ability, I can do what I can, but I can't let my son bear my responsibilities." Lu Jian felt that Lu's mother Although these remarks are somewhat biased, I have to say that there are many things that can move people.

The relationship between relatives is first of all the fetters of blood, and then the feelings of mutual dedication and mutual support in getting along day and night.

"Eldest sister, they are all relatives. This is not a big deal, and it has no effect on Lu Jian." Seeing the ugly scene, the uncle finally spoke.

"It doesn't matter why, I thought that the factory was opened by Lu Jian, who would be responsible if something happened, my eldest and second child didn't go!"

"It's different, none of them have ever studied, but my son is very smart, and he will graduate from elementary school in one year." Aunt Jiang immediately disagreed, feeling that no one else could compare to her son.

"Your sons are so capable, let them pass the exam by themselves."

All the voices were quiet for a while, and grandma and grandpa didn't speak any more.

"Father and mother, today is my daughter's big day, just like when I got married, you once hoped that I would live well, and I hope so now, so if you come to drink wedding wine, stay here, if you come to ask for trouble Yes, then please go back, I'm not filial." Lu's mother said this with difficulty, looking at grandma and grandpa, it seemed that tears were about to come out.

"Okay. Leave the things, let's go!" Grandpa stood up with the back of the chair, and then walked out slowly by himself. His face was not very good-looking, and it seemed that there was some remorse and some hard-to-see emotions in it.

"This is for you." Grandma also walked out, and put a cloth bag in Mother Lu's hand as she passed by.

"Lu Jian, we are all relatives anyway, so we can help if we can." Before leaving, my aunt pulled Lu Jian and said a few words, but Lu Jian didn't make a sound.

After everyone left, Mother Lu sat on the chair all of a sudden, holding the things in her hands tightly.Lu Jian was startled, and quickly sat next to him.

"Do you think parents always have a more preferred child?" Lu's mother knew that her parents loved her younger brother more. Because of the birth of her younger brother, their family is no longer an extinct family, but she said that was the hope that her parents had been looking forward to for many years. .It's not that the parents don't love her, it's just that the only person they can rely on is their son.

"Of course, my parents have always favored me." Lu Jian thought it was a bit funny, and Lu's mother was also a partial person.

"You." Mother Lu laughed out loud, and tapped his forehead with her finger.

"Although he is biased, he has never treated the elder brothers badly. He has never said who should pay for whom." Lu Jian felt that Lu's mother was not easy. When he was young, he was looked down upon by everyone because he had no brothers in the family. When he was young, Lu's father was a soldier. , not at home all year round, mother Lu supported everything by herself, and raised all the children safely.When Lu's father retired from the army and returned home, he became the captain again, and there were many things to do every day. In a blink of an eye, the children were all grown up, and it was time for An Xiang's old age, when the younger brother and sister-in-law got involved again.

"Even though fingers have different lengths, how can we cut off all the others for one of them, it will hurt to death." He even laughed to himself while speaking.

"Meihua, come out soon, my uncle is here." Suddenly there was a burst of firecrackers outside.

Lu Jian and Lu's mother hurriedly opened the door and went out. Just as they walked into the yard, they saw Qin Hui leading a group of young people riding bicycles and being blocked outside the yard. A large group of children surrounded them and refused to let them in.

"It's a candy grab! It's a candy grab!" Several young people took out a lot of candy from their pockets and threw it outside. Suddenly, a group of children and some adults ran out.

Qin Hui and the others ran in quickly, but were stopped at the gate again, but it was Lu Jian, his fourth brother and his cousin who held the door together.

"Haha, it's not so easy to get my sister." The fourth brother Lu is tall and tall. After going out for so long in the sports car, he should have built up his muscles. Even his cousin is a tall man, so he immediately blocked the door You have to die.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I will definitely treat Fenfen well, so please let me in!" Qin Hui stood there, also in military uniform with a red flower on his chest, and secretly winked at Lu Jian.

"What kind of winks did Qin Hui show? I didn't see you tell me even though I came to the door. How dare you ask me to help you." Lu Jian didn't buy it at all.

"Lu Jian, that's because you are too busy and I can't find anyone." Qin Hui felt wronged, not because he didn't want to tell Lu Jian, but because he was too busy to find anyone.

"How can you not find it if you have the heart?" Before Lu Jian could reply, someone had already made a fuss.Xu Yan and Zhao Lei stood behind and watched the show.

"Put people in quickly, time is running out." Suddenly Mother Lu's voice came from inside the room.Seeing the opportunity, Qin Hui rushed over immediately, followed by a group of young men who were picking up the marriage. After a while, Lu saw them and was rushed away.

Not long after, Qin Hui took Lu Fenfen's hand and came out. After saying goodbye to his parents, he was picked up by Qin Hui on a bicycle. When they set off, more than a dozen bicycles rang their bells, and it was very lively.

Although the bride has been picked up, the Lu family has to continue to be busy. They all have dinner after the bride has left, and the yard is full of people after a while. Those who come to have a wedding usually give a dime or two, but the family will at most Come two people.

Lu Jian also saw a lot of educated youths at the table, even Qi Changzheng was there, sitting at the table drinking with Lu's father, they seemed to have a good relationship.

During the meal, Lu Jian brought a copy directly to his room.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when they sent everyone away. Father Lu was happy to drink some wine with Second Uncle and the others, and he was already lying on the bed.

Lu's mother took a few daughters-in-law to clean up the dishes in the kitchen, while Lu Jian and his brothers returned all the borrowed tables and chairs.

When Lu Jian went back, Mother Lu and the others were still busy in the kitchen. Lu Jian thought for a while and went back to his room. The sky was a little dark, and Jian Mingyuan was still staring at a book.Lu Jian walked over and put his hand on his book.

"Aren't you looking for your son? Take you to the village."

"Go." Hearing these words, Jian Mingyuan immediately put down the book in his hand and stood up, his eyes fell on Lu Jian.

Lu Jian talked to Lu's mother and took him out.The temperature in Hu'an City in the twelfth lunar month is only a few degrees. In the few days before the Chinese New Year, most people in the brigade choose to stay at home, and only some children who are not afraid of the cold run around outside.

Lu Jian had inquired with the fourth brother before, and now there are a few orphans in their brigade.Three of them are a pair of sisters with a seven-year-old brother. Their father passed away due to illness, and their mother remarried. No one on the uncle’s side is willing to take care of them. They are self-supporting. They are usually supported by the brigade. The oldest is almost fifteen up.

There is also a pair of brothers and sisters, who escaped from the disaster before. I heard that in order for them to survive, the family gave them all the food. When they arrived in Nanshan Town, only the elder brother and the younger sister were left.The boy is 11 years old this year. He is very independent in life and has a sunny personality. It is logical that he is very suitable for Jian Mingyuan's requirements, but it is a pity that he has a five-year-old sister.I heard from the fourth brother that the boy has always taken care of his younger sister, and it is impossible for the two to separate.

The other two are brought by the widowed mother, almost the only seedling in the family, it is impossible to think about it.

At the beginning, Lu Jian also thought that Jian Mingyuan's idea was very irresponsible. Adopting a child requires not only money, but also feelings. Given his situation, he can easily provide money, but for feelings, it is a kind of Extravagant.

But it didn't take long for Lu Jian to realize that his thinking was wrong. The need for emotion is based on the fact that material can meet the needs of survival.If survival cannot be met, what are the emotional needs?

In this day and age, one year of hard work is all about food and clothing, and even getting married is through a blind date, and you can live for a lifetime just by meeting a couple of times.

For those orphans who have no family and face the danger of death all the time, how lucky to have someone to adopt.

Lu Jian took Jian Mingyuan directly to the brother and sister. After all, this boy was the only one who met Jian Mingyuan's needs. Maybe Jian Mingyuan would take his sister away.The two brothers and sisters are not from the same village, but live at the foot of the mountain at the end of the village. There is a dilapidated house there, which belonged to a previous family, but they moved out later.It has been unoccupied for many years.It's very remote there, and there are no people.

Lu saw that the boy named Xue Yang had just come back from the outside when they passed by. He was carrying a bundle of materials on his back. He was only wearing a thin cotton padded jacket. His face and hands were red. It's not easy.

"Fifth brother Lu, what's the matter?" Seeing that Lu saw them coming, he quickly put down the material on his back.

"Xue Yang, this comrade wants to adopt you, are you willing?" Lu Jian looked at Xue Yang's appearance as a young adult, and directly expressed his intention.

"Then what about my sister?" Xue Yang's eyes lit up when he heard that someone was going to adopt him. He thought of his sister again, and asked cautiously, his eyes fell on Jian Mingyuan with pleading eyes.

"Only one." Jian Mingyuan remained expressionless, not relenting for the boy's prayer.

"Can that take my sister away?" The boy's eyes were full of sadness, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, and looked at Jian Mingyuan with hope.

"As long as a boy." Jian Mingyuan shook his head and refused very simply.

"Thank you, I want to be with my sister." The boy looked away, bowed to the two, and went back to the house to see his sister.

Seeing that he shook his head helplessly, Lu took Jian Mingyuan back the same way, going to see the little boy brought by his two older sisters.

"Help! Come quickly! Help!"

The two of them hadn't gone far when a boy's shrill cry came from behind.

Lu Jian hurriedly turned his head and found that the boy who had just returned to the room was running all the way with a little girl on his back. His slender legs seemed unable to support his body, and he wobbled but did not fall down. His clothes were soaked, and his eyes were filled with tears.

The girl lying on his back seemed to have lost consciousness, her eyes were closed tightly, her head was resting on the boy's shoulder, motionless.

Lu Jian's heart tightened and he ran over quickly, but the people around him were faster than him. Jian Mingyuan rushed over quickly and hugged the girl in his arms. The temperature of her body almost burned him.

"High fever, temperature at least 39, must be sent to the hospital." Jian Mingyuan frowned.

"Go directly to the hospital in the town." Lu Jian didn't expect the temperature to be so high. There was only one barefoot doctor in their place, and it was useless to find them in such a high temperature.

"You carry the child to the entrance of the village, and I'll go home and push the bicycle." After Lu Jian finished speaking, he ran towards the house, and the boy wiped away his tears and hurried to the entrance of the village with Jian Mingyuan.

When Lu Jian returned home, his fourth brother was eating melon seeds in the yard. He went back to the room to get some money and tickets, and then kicked his fourth brother when he came out.

"Fourth brother, if you need help with something, hurry up and follow me on your bike." Lu Jian rode out on his bicycle after speaking.

"?" Brother Lu was still a little dazed, but he rode quickly and followed.

When Lu Jian rode his bike to the entrance of the village, Jian Mingyuan and the others hadn't come yet. Lu Jian rode for a while on the route to the boy's house, and soon saw someone, and the car stopped directly in front of them. Brother followed and stopped.

Seeing Jian Mingyuan hugging an unconscious little girl, he knew something had happened.

"Which one of you is holding the little girl in my car, hurry up and go to the town hospital?"

When Jian Mingyuan heard what he said, he quickly got into the back seat of his car, and Fourth Brother Lu set off immediately, pedaling quickly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Let's go, I'll take you." Lu Jian looked at Xue Yang who ran forward and chased him, hurriedly let him get into the car and rode the car very fast.

Although Lu Jian had traveled quickly all the way, he still didn't even see Jian Mingyuan's shadow.When they arrived at the entrance of the hospital, they saw a bicycle randomly on the steps at the entrance.

Lu Jian helped the car up and parked it aside, then took Xue Yang in, asked a few people, and the two quickly found the ward.The little girl was lying quietly on the bed with a hanging bottle, and it was obvious that the hot air exhaled by the girl was very hot, turning into white mist in the cold air.

"Sister." Xue Yang rushed to the edge of the hospital bed and grabbed the hand of his sister that was not needled.

"It's okay, the temperature is already cooling down." Brother Lu stroked his sweat-drenched hair. He seemed to be flying over, his clothes were already soaked, and Jian Mingyuan wanted to change with him halfway, but he didn't agree. It's time to laugh at him a bucket, and despise him for his small stature.

"Did the doctor say what's the reason?"

"Malnutrition, weak constitution, developmental delay, but this time he was cold and had a fever, and needs to be hospitalized for observation for a few days." Jian Mingyuan said everything the doctor said.

"The people inside go and pay the fee." Suddenly a middle-aged nurse came in.

"Okay, let's go now."

"Use this." Just as Lu Jian was about to go out to pay the money, Jian Mingyuan stopped him and handed him a stack of money.

Lu Jian didn't hesitate to take it directly, and followed the nurse to pay the money.

After paying the fee, Lu Jian looked at the money left in his hand, Jian Mingyuan gave him almost 20 yuan, and now it's still about 15 yuan.

He didn't go back to the ward, but rode directly to the state-run restaurant. It was time to eat, and Lu Jian bought a porridge and a few meat buns.I went to the supply and marketing agency to buy some fruit and a can of malted milk, and returned to the hospital when the money was almost exhausted.

When he went back, the fourth brother was sitting on a chair outside the ward in a daze.

"Why did you come back? You don't even know..." Seeing him coming, Fourth Brother Lu immediately stood up and seemed to have something to say to him, but at this moment, the door opened and Jian Mingyuan walked out. The fourth brother quickly shut up.

"I bought some food, is the little girl awake?" Lu Jian handed the things in his hand to Jian Mingyuan.

"En." Jian Mingyuan went in with his things, without asking how much he spent.

Lu Jian followed him in, the boy was sitting on the bed, the little girl was already awake, talking head to head with her brother.Seeing people coming in, she shyly hid behind her brother's shoulder, peeking at Jian Mingyuan from time to time with her small eyes.

"?" Lu Jian was a little strange and felt that something was wrong.Did Jian Mingyuan change his mind and really want to adopt this little girl?

"Eat." Jian Mingyuan put the things on the bedside table, took out two buns and put them directly in Xue Yang's hands.Then he moved the little girl closer to the bed and put a pillow behind her. The little girl was a little shy, but she didn't show any rejection.

Jian Ming looked at the little girl from a distance, took out the porridge and opened it, then took out a spoon, took a spoonful of porridge and was about to feed her.

"Blow it." Lu Jian saw that he was about to feed, so he hurriedly reminded him.

Jian Mingyuan took back the spoon in his hand, and blew clumsily, about a dozen times, then went to feed the little girl with stiff hands, but there was at least a fist away.The little girl quickly raised her head, bit the spoon with her small mouth, and drank.

"Thank you, Daddy." After finishing drinking, she showed a sweet smile, and said a word from her small mouth, which almost scared Lu Jian to death.

"Ahem, Jian Gong, what are you?"

"I want to adopt both of them." Jian Mingyuan continued to feed the little girl, but more skillfully than last time.
