Chapter 15 The cute little girl doesn't fit well with their family
After Ma Xialan and Lu Dongjin left, Yan Yiyi quickly went out to close the courtyard door and asked in a low voice:
"Second brother, where did you hide the rabbit meat?"
Lu Sen almost only went out for a short while.
Lu Sen walked to the pile of firewood behind the kitchen, opened the bundle on top, and saw a rabbit with a missing leg inside.
Immediately, Yan Yiyi burst out laughing. The second brother is so smart and nimble!
Just when Lu Sen was about to pick up the rabbit meat, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the courtyard.
Immediately, Yan Yiyi, Lu Sen, and Lu Miao breathed heavily. Ma Xialan was back again??
"Second brother, third brother, fifth brother, I'm back!"
Lu Xin's familiar voice sounded outside the hospital. Immediately, Lu Sen and Lu Miao both laughed!
Lu Sen quickly walked over and opened the door: "Brother, you are back!!"
The eldest brother only comes back on the first and fifteenth day of every month. These two days are the happiest days for their family.
Because the eldest brother will bring them brown rice!
But this time Lu Sen couldn't help but smile when he saw Lu Xin.
Lu Sen looked at the burnt wound on Lu Xin's arm and asked:
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Four years ago, after Xu Xiangning also collapsed, Lu Xin, who was only seven years old, wanted to become an apprentice.
Being an apprentice not only allows you to learn a craft, take care of the food, but also earns you wages.
Generally starting from the third month of apprenticeship, you will be paid one penny a day.
The longer the apprenticeship, the higher the wages.
But Lu Xin had a red and black scar as big as a fist on the left side of his face. It was so ugly that he was chased away wherever he went.
"You are so ugly that you scare away all my guests, get out of here!"
After hitting a wall one after another, finally a place was willing to take him.
However, Huang Liqing had a very bad temper and would beat and scold people at every turn. Sometimes, he would even hit someone with a red-hot iron!
Gradually, no one followed Huang Liqing as an apprentice.
Finally one came, and even though it was a bit ugly, Huang Liqing didn't pick it and let Lu Xin stay.
However, Lu Xin only earned one penny per day as an apprentice for one year. Now, after four years of apprenticeship, Lu Xin has only earned two pence per day.
In the past four years, Lu Xin had been beaten countless times by Huang Liqing.
This time, the injury on the arm was caused by Huang Liqing pulling out the red iron from the iron furnace!
"I didn't hold the thing securely and accidentally dropped it on my arm. It's okay. It doesn't hurt anymore."
Lu Xin said calmly.
Lu Sen saw that the water had grown so big that the skin was gone, and the meat inside looked like it was cooked!!
When Lu Sen saw that Lu Xin didn't use his dominant right hand to carry things, he knew that his elder brother was lying. It was obviously in pain!
Lu Sen looked at the pretending Lu Xin, without saying anything, he took the things in Lu Xin's hands and walked silently to the kitchen.
Lu Xin walked behind: "Second brother, this is five kilograms of brown rice. You can cook it for everyone to eat!"
"Um."
Although five kilograms is only enough to last for two days at most, for this family, little is better than nothing.
The third brother, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother will definitely be very happy!
"Brother, you are back!"
Lu Miao heard the sound of Lu Xin walking and rushed in Lu Xin's direction, with a hint of unnoticeable joy in her voice.
This was the first time Yan Yiyi saw a slight smile on Lu Miao's face.
"Brother brought you some brown rice and will cook it later."
Lu Xin stepped forward and helped Lu Miao go to the kitchen, and Lu Miao obediently let him lead her.
Yan Yiyi was puzzled.
Lu Miao can obviously walk from the west room to the kitchen by herself, but now she looks like a person who can't take care of herself?
When he walked to the kitchen door, Lu Xin found an unfamiliar face.
Why did this little girl show up at his house?
"Who are you?"
She is wearing a new suit, a pinkish-brown short, black trousers, and pink shoes, which make her whole body pink and tender.
A face with baby fat and cute pink and jade carvings. Such a cute little girl is extremely incompatible with their family.
Lu Miao heard the voice and said: "Brother, she is mother's distant niece. Everyone in the family died and she came to seek refuge with mother."
"???"
Lu Xin was shocked. With the conditions of their family, could others take refuge?
"Mother agreed?" Lu Xin asked.
After hearing Lu Miao's answer, Lu Xin said bluntly: "Mom, is she crazy?"
As soon as Lu Xin finished speaking, Lu Yao brought Lu Yan back.
When they saw Lu Xin, Lu Yan, and Lu Yao brothers, they immediately hugged them.
"Brother, you are finally back!"
"Brother, we have rabbit meat to eat tonight and steamed buns to eat!" Lu Yao said excitedly.
Lu Xin could understand the rabbit meat, maybe his second brother caught it, but what happened to the buns?
