As noon approaches, there is no shade on the construction site under the scorching sun.

The workers who worked for a whole morning were tired and had already stopped their work and waited anxiously. The workers with quick hands and feet did not wait for Fu Sheng, who was in charge of the shift to give orders, sneaked off the scaffolding. They followed suit slowly and naturally did not want to fall behind.

Fusheng knew this as well as the mirror in his heart, but as the person in charge of the class, he did not deliberately ask them. He knew that everyone had worked hard all morning. At this time, as long as they did not perform too much and paid attention to their own safety, there was no need to ask them too much. One reason was that they were neighbors, and the other was that they were responsible for the work they were all in charge.

In this way, seeing that people were all off the shelves and landed on the ground, Fusheng put away the tools at hand, and then walked carefully while checking the places he thought were prone to safety hazards along the way. He knew that as long as the chef Lao Su from other places did not issue the order to start a meal, the rice would not be able to be in the bowl. This order was usually very accurate, just when everyone was in the long queue in front of the kitchen door. Finally, just when Fusheng was carrying the bowls and chopsticks at the end of the line, the bald Lao Su also happened to leave the kitchen.

Everything was as Fusheng knew. It happened to be that point. Lao Su came out. He stood on the low brick pile at the door of the kitchen, like a rooster, covering his abdomen with his hands, taking a deep breath, then shook his thick body, stretched his neck, and shouted loudly, "Premium---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I heard it clearly, it was "filled" not a meal! It seemed that people could not help laughing out loud when they heard the words clearly, but when they came back, some people couldn't help but curse. Everyone knew that the reason why Lao Su dared to make fun of everyone as animals was because he was not a local, and he had no concerns about seniority when scolding him, and because of this, everyone was ruthless when scolding him. People were fighting with Lao Su in turn, and Lao Su was naturally not polite. While fighting back with a verbal battle, he used a fork to pull braised noodles into the bowl in his hand to make food for everyone. When he was too busy, he used the fork in his hand to knock the edge of the pot and urged the people behind him to move forward. It was not until Fusheng's meal that the battle came to an end.

The open space in front of the kitchen door was not big, and people had to spread around the kitchen with their food, squatting, or sitting, and treating the ground as a dining table. When Fusheng held the noodles with one hand and turned his head to find a place to eat, there was no place to go. Helplessly, Fusheng took the food and squatted under a tall poplar tree on the side of the road.

By chance, when Fusheng put down two bowls and focused on peeling the garlic brought from his home from his hands, a large piece of white bird shit fell from the tree, just like the prepared garlic juice was silently spread in the middle of a bowl of braised noodles in Fusheng.

Fusheng didn't pay attention, but was clearly seen by the neighbor Haishui on the side. He came over and squatted in front of Fusheng, pretended to examine Fusheng's rice seriously, and then pointed with chopsticks and laughed and joked: "Uncle Fusheng, the yellow grinding oil on this bowl is made of garlic and white garlic foam, which looks a bit like a gold plaster! But, uncle! You don't need to peel garlic, you have scooped the garlic juice into the bowl!" Fusheng heard that, when he lowered his head and saw the bird shit in the bowl, he picked it up and looked at it carefully, but he didn't tell it for a moment. So he asked what the sea water was going on.

The sea water smiled and pointed to the tree.

Fusheng looked up and saw two magpies lying just above the position where he had just squatted, and suddenly became white. What was going on? He was angry and wanted to drive him away, but he was surrendered by the height of the tree. He had no choice but to pour out the noodles and wash the dishes again. When he returned to the noodles, he only filled half a bowl of them. He could only take a bottom when he ate it. He had no choice but to serve a bowl of sour soup and pour it into his stomach to keep hunger.

Unexpectedly, people have a topic of conversation, and they originally started to talk about it during a short rest in the afternoon. Some say that this bowl of noodles is a happy noodle, and it should be eaten by a lucky student. That will definitely come true and bring good luck; some say that they only heard that they are lucky to have good luck in love, but they don’t hear that they are lucky to have good luck in birds. Everyone argues that this is shit pulled by a magpies, symbolizing good luck in the end. As for whether it can be fulfilled, the key lies in this bowl of shit noodles, whether you eat it in person or as shit. If you eat it in person, it is a bowl of noodles; if you eat it as shit, you will definitely get lucky in birds.

The more people talked, the more they became more and more outrageous they became. They all felt sorry for Fusheng not eating this piece of shit, and they destroyed the dignity accumulated by Fusheng in the past.

Fusheng was worried that this incident would become a joke for him. He didn't want to say too much, but he couldn't stop the workers' mouths. He had to talk to everyone for a while and then used the excuse to let everyone rest and drive everyone to disperse. But although this person had dispersed, the matter did not disperse. It not only made the workers remember it in his heart, but also put it in Fusheng's heart, making him constantly ponder it. The reason was that Wan Feng, a team a few days ago, had inquired about the situation of his child Lu Dong, as if he was asking for a matchmaker for another girl, but later he heard that the girl was unwilling to do anything. Fusheng looked puzzled. He was not sure whether the so-called bird shit luck that he said today would be related to this matter, and laughed in his heart that he had not eaten this bowl of noodles!

The afternoon work is still busy. Fusheng only ate a little lunch and drank a lot of sour soup, so his stomach turned "gurgling" early! He wanted to persist until he got off work, but the energy in his stomach was so swollen by sour soup that he couldn't twist it out. Seeing that the afternoon was almost over, Fusheng couldn't support it. He thought that instead of consuming it like this, it would be better to go out and buy some food to supplement his energy and come back. Thinking of this, he went to the office on the construction site and found the captain Liu Haijun to take leave. Liu Haijun and Fusheng were old friends who had been on the construction team for many years. Hearing Fusheng say this, he laughed and said, "What's wrong, can't hold on! It seems that it's wrong to not eat that bowl of noodles! Besides, I can't stand it anymore. Let's go quickly, I'll stare first!"

Fusheng heard him say this, and knew that the Navy was also making a joke. But he was so frustrated that he was too tired to carry it with him, so he pushed the car and prepared to leave, but was stopped by the Navy and said, "Lao Lu, you go to the market for dinner, which is a bit far from this. I want me to say that it's all at this point, you can't hold it after you go and then turn it back. I'll keep an eye on here, you can't go back after you finish your meal!"

Fusheng's surname is Lu, and he has worked with the Navy for many years. The Navy always calls him "Lao Lu". At this moment, Fusheng heard him say this and knew that the Navy had good intentions. He thought about it. He thought about it. So he agreed while taking off his work clothes, shaking off the dust on it, and stomping his feet while slashing his trouser legs with his hands. Then he went to the water pipe and washed his face with two big eyes and a big mouth with a tanned face. He went to clean up every few days and said goodbye to the Navy, and rode his bike out of the yard of the construction site.

The construction site is in the east of the city, and Fusheng's home is in the south of the city. If you want to eat at the free market in the city, and then go home, you have to take a detour. However, this distance is not a big deal for Fusheng, who is 46 or 7. He is 1.78 meters tall and struggling on the construction site all day long. Although he didn't have enough food at noon and was hungry, he was still the same.

Fusheng was riding his bike, walking calmly, thinking about what to eat. While riding, he suddenly had a new idea. He thought of his wife Xinlan and his son Lu Dong, who worked at home. He used to be busy with work and had a rare opportunity to go back early if it was raining. Now he could buy some food to go back to gather with them! Thinking of this, Fusheng went to the deli restaurant in the market to choose a pork elbow, asked the waiter to pack it, put it in his pocket, and bought two bottles of Du Kang wine together, so he rushed home.

The Zhongyuan village where Fusheng's family is located is an ancient village. Before liberation, it was because the Li family in the village was very popular, so it was originally called Lizhai, but because the Tianwang Hall in the village was incense, it was also called Tianwang Temple by pilgrims. It was also named Yonghong Village when Posi was Posi. However, it has been changed several times, perhaps for the convenience of management, or because it was used to being called, it was changed back to the name of Lizhai. As a landmark, Tianwang Temple is still known by people in the local area.

When I was studying Dazhai in agriculture, the walls of the village were no longer as contoured as before because of the flat land, but the traces were still there. Two straight roads that directly lead to the four village gates in the east, west, south and north, crossed to form a cross street. The two-story shops with old brick and wood structures mixed on both sides of the street are old and still highlight the glory of the village. Fusheng's home is on the east and west streets, and the north of the west side of the cross center is only more than 100 meters away from the center.

At home, Xinlan had already prepared dinner. She was busy in the yard while waiting for Fusheng to come back.

Xinlan's surname is Li, and is a woman brought back from Xijing. She is one year younger than Fusheng. She is medium-sized and has a slim figure. She is wearing a clean-washed blue-soled white floral jacket with a slightly desolate color, light gray polyester trousers on the lower body, and a pair of black velvet open-mouth cloth shoes on the feet, and her body is neat and vigorous. Her fair face, a pair of calm eyes under her curved willow eyebrows, a delicate and small nose, and a pointed chin. Although she has been eroded by years and crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, her beautiful appearance is still the same. Braided with long black hair, braided with long black hair, tied with a hairpin behind her head, which is fashionable.

The sky gradually became dark. People working outside rode their bikes by the door from time to time. Suddenly, a familiar car ringtone came from a distance. Xinlan heard that it was Fusheng's car ringtone. Knowing that Fusheng would arrive soon, she shouted to her son who was doing wooden work under the shed: "Lu Dong, stop doing it. Your father is back. Getting ready for dinner."

"Okay!" As Xinlan shouted, a young man walked out of the shed. He was 1.7.8 meters tall, had a slim figure, a white disc face, a small mouth, a firm nose, a slightly curly short hair, a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was bright and energetic. He was wearing a white vest on the upper body, a pair of green army pants on the lower body, and a pair of fashionable white sneakers on his feet. His outfit seemed meticulous but actually casual. This was Xinlan's son Lu Dong.

Lu Dong agreed to prepare to clean up. When he was speaking, Fusheng had already turned into the yard. When Lu Dong saw it, he hurriedly took the car and pushed it straight into the house. He smelled the aroma of the meat in the pocket and knew it was the braised pork bought by his father, so he took the bag out of the handlebar and said, "Mom, there is something delicious!" As he said that, he went to fetch water and wash his face. Xinlan took the bag and started working hard. When the father and the two of them washed it clean, they cleaned up. Xinlan had already pulled the small table and put the dishes on the table. Everyone saw that everything was ready, and they sat down around the table.

Here Lu Dong went to get the wine bottle, slapped the bottle cap on the corner of the table, and filled the cup in front of the three of them with wine.

Xinlan didn't drink wine, but seeing that Lu Dong had poured the wine glass in front of him, she didn't wait for everyone to take the chopsticks and put it in front of Fusheng and said, "You must be exhausted after working for a day! You have also drunk my wine, which can just relieve your fatigue."

Fusheng heard that he did not rush to hold the cup, but picked up the chopsticks first. While he was asking everyone to eat, he went straight to the plate and put a large piece of meat into his mouth. He said while chewing: "I said it was not for luck or luck at noon. Anyway, it was so bad that I didn't eat. If I want me to drink more, I had to let me eat more rice and cushion the bottom, otherwise I would knock it down in a while!"

Xinlan and Lu Dong had never seen Fusheng eat like this without caring about people. When they heard Fusheng say this, they were a little puzzled, so they asked Fusheng at the same time what happened and why they didn't eat at noon.

Fusheng took his mouth and did not rush to answer. He swallowed the flesh in his mouth and then went to serve the wine glass on the table. Seeing this, Lu Dong hurriedly picked up his cup to drink with his father, and then added wine to the cup. Then he heard his father slowly telling the matter of noon to both mother and mother, and it was so painful that Xinlan and Lu Dongniang felt sorry for each other and laughed.

Lu Dong was concerned about his father and knew in his heart what it would be like to be hungry for those who did physical work. So he said, "Dad, it's not me that I'm talking about you, why don't you take your body seriously? We are all physical work. When it comes to this situation, I will definitely go to have a full meal first. I dare not do this in the future!" Lu Dong's tone was blaming. Fusheng knew that Lu Dong was concerned about him, and it was not good to be too hungry today, so he hurriedly agreed to pay attention in the future.

Xinlan looked around and knew that Lu Dong was filial and was even more happy for the child. In addition to being happy, she suddenly remembered the fact that Wanfeng's mother asked about the child's age and birthday a few days ago in the village of the south side of the brigade. She said casually: "If you want me to say that this is not necessarily a blessing, maybe you should be lucky!" So she said what she was thinking about and asked Fusheng if he knew about this.

Fusheng was thinking about this in his heart, and was about to verify it with Xinlan. When Xinlan asked, he hurriedly replied, "Why don't you know! Wanfeng is working with me. He asked me, but he didn't say anything again in the past two days." Fusheng paused and said, "I asked indirectly that this girl might be Wanfeng's cousin, but it seems that the girl is a girl who has many children and is all in school. She has a heavy burden. She came over and was afraid that her daughter would suffer losses because she was not willing to do so. Speaking of this incident today, after the workers joked, she reminded me. Could it be that the appearance of this magpie means that there is a turning point in the matter!?"

Xinlan asked Fusheng about it here, and she wished that the magpies would bring good luck. Now that Fusheng thought so, she became more determined in her mind. Just as she was about to answer, Lu Dong, who was standing aside, continued: "Dad, mom, don't guess randomly like this! Don't say it's either true, or true. Once she has the idea of ​​being afraid of filling in the black, she may not be willing to ask me to the other way around! Besides, I don't want my dad to worry about my marriage when he is hungry! I don't believe that with my skills and talent, I can't find a better one! Don't talk about this anymore, eat now! It's hungry!" Lu Dong said seriously, but his tone was a little naughty and conceited.

After hearing this, Fusheng and Xinlan thought about it, they would be cold if they didn't eat it, so they stopped talking and turned around to eat seriously. When they were full of wine, Xinlan saw that there were still a few pieces of meat on the plate, so she went to use chopsticks to pick it into Lu Dong's bowl.

Seeing this, Lu Dong hurriedly stopped him and said, "Mom, don't snatch it into my bowl. I'm full. My dad didn't eat at noon. Let's give it to my dad!"

Fusheng was already full, and when he heard Lu Dong say this, he took the talk and said in an orderly tone: "Eat it! Lu Dong. Don't argue with your mother. I know you care about your father, but your father is full and I have enough wine. You can eat the rest of the pieces with wine! Although the conditions are good now, our family doesn't have meat every day. Besides, if this is put in Xijing, you just want to eat it if you don't have meat tickets, and you can't buy it! Don't believe it? Ask your mother!"

Xinlan was waiting to clean up the dishes, and when she heard Fusheng say it, she continued: "No! At that time, everything was lacking in life, and everything was required! There were many brothers in our family, but we suffered a lot! If we were like this, we would not have moved back from Xijing no matter what we said, nor would we have thrown your brother Lu Bei there alone. I have pity for my child!" Xinlan said, and a sour expression was beyond words.

Xinlan gave birth to five children for Fusheng. Lu Bei was Xinlan's eldest child. When he returned to his hometown, he settled in Xijing. He followed his parents as a teacher. He wanted to keep a root there, but he later lost his life in sports. Lu Dong was the second child. He was only over six years old when he moved back in 1967 and had just caught up in elementary school. After graduating from primary school, he was recommended to go to agricultural university in 1975 and stayed at home after graduation. His third son Lu Nan was two years younger than Lu Dong. After resuming the college entrance examination the year before, he was admitted to a technical secondary school. He could only come back once a semester. His two twin daughters, Xiaocun and Xiaohua, were also 15 years old and lived in high school in the city.

When Xinlan saw the bitterness of Fusheng, he knew that Xinlan felt uncomfortable when she mentioned Lu Bei, and he felt pain in his heart, but when he mentioned the past, he was afraid of arousing Xinlan's sadness, but every time Xinlan mentioned it. Thinking of this, Fusheng blamed himself and didn't say it, but he still blamed Xinlan's parents a little for not taking good care of his children. But no matter how much he thought about it, he never dared to express his feelings in front of Xinlan. He loved Xinlan, and he knew that Xinlan could leave his parents and take the children back to his hometown with him. It was so difficult for him to suffer with him in this unfamiliar place. He always believed that Xinlan could marry him was a gift from God.

Here, Lu Dong felt very sad when he saw his mother feeling uncomfortable.

Lu Dong still has an impression of his brother, and he admires him very much. In his memory, his brother is tall and handsome. He takes him to evade tickets, fish and fight him. He is the hero in his mind. But after all, it has been more than ten years since he moved back, and his memory is a bit blurry.

At this moment, when his mother mentioned his brother, he knew that his mother would feel distressed when she mentioned his brother. She was afraid that her mother would be sad and couldn't stop her, so she hurriedly went to her mother's heart and said, "Mom! We're back all the time! The city is good now, but our countryside is not bad. It's great to have food and drink! Don't regret it anymore!"

When Xinlan heard this, she knew that her son was advising her, so she calmed down her emotions just now and said, "Although the situation is what you said, the conditions in the city are getting better and better now. Otherwise, people want to go to the city to be workers, and rural girls want to find someone to eat commercial food when they find partners. But think about it, if we didn't move back, it would be strange if we didn't hungry to you based on our living conditions at that time! Not to mention that we are all together. Your father and our family are back to save their lives!"

"Yes," Fusheng continued: "At that time, life in the city could not be mentioned. Everything you buy is fixed and ticketed. It is really not easy to support you children. But you had to know that the city is developing so fast, and you would not move back no matter what you say, but no one has any eyes on it! Besides, life improvement has been happening in the past few years. However, Lu Dong, think about it, life in the city is better, are we living in the countryside also better? What we eat and drink now is good! National policies are good

Now, we advocate reform and opening up and revitalize the economy. Even our rural areas have divided the households. If this continues, I am in our village construction team. You are doing wooden work at home and your mother is serving the farmland at home, and she is still worried about the bad life in the future!? As for finding a partner, don’t worry, the child!" After saying that, he said to Xinlan: "But that's true, the child is not young anymore. Teach more about finding a partner, and you will be a scholarly family! It's a pity that you don't need to have the skills of the ancestors."

"It's not your child! Should you teach me too? Besides, she doesn't want it. Maybe there's a better girl waiting for us Lu Dong." After Xinlan said that, she was afraid that Lu Dong would be embarrassed, so she hurriedly advised Lu Dong and said, "Lu Dong, don't worry, maybe that girl is like your mother, I didn't like you at first, but in the end she fell in love with your father."

Fusheng didn't care about Xinlan's confrontation. When she heard her talk about herself, he hurriedly continued: "No, if you don't say anything, you will still be unfamiliar with fate."

Obediently, Lu Dong ignored what his parents advised him, but saw that his father didn't hear his mother's meaning thoroughly, so he reminded his father: "Hey, Dad, you are old and have a lot of money. My mother meant that he didn't choose the first time, but in the end he chose yours."

When Fusheng heard this, he began to reminisce about Xinlan's words just now, but after drinking, he still glared at him, looking ignorant. Xinlan and her mother, who were already smiling, couldn't help but smile happily when they saw Fusheng's expression.

While talking, Lu Dong had cleaned the plate. Seeing that it was dark, he helped his mother clean up the dishes. Fusheng had already entered the house to rest without realizing it. After Xinlan finished her work, she returned to the inner room and saw Fusheng lying on the bed with his legs tilted, with his legs hanging on the edge of the bed.

In early spring, it was a little cold at night. Xinlan was afraid that the cold would make a problem, so she gently thought about covering the quilt with her legs. Fusheng squinted her eyes, but she didn't sleep well, so she hurriedly used her legs tightly. Xinlan didn't move, knowing that Fusheng was doing badly, so she pinched her legs lightly. Fusheng pretended to behave and sucked her breath with an exaggerated "官-官-" lightly. Xinlan said at the sight, "No one, do you think you are still a three-year-old child? It's getting late, I'm tired all day, go to bed early!" Fusheng didn't answer Xinlan's words, and still looked at Xinlan with a squinted smile on her lips. Xinlan knew that her husband was drunk, so she went straight to straighten her legs, helped to remove her coat, cover her thin quilt, and raise the pillow a little.
Chapter completed!
