"Dad, it seems that a high-ranking official has arrived at home, and there is also a beautiful sister who is as beautiful as the picture."
Luo Xiaoxin was uneasy along the way, but also a little excited and a little expectant. He said to Luo Tiezhu, who was sweating profusely and smelling of sweat, "Dad, I see that the official is not very happy. Are you okay?"
Be careful.
Don't let others catch you and eat peanuts.
My mother said, if you die, we will hardly survive..."
Luo Tiezhu braved the scorching sun and just hurried on the rugged mountain road.
Hearing this, Luo Tiezhu just glanced at Luo Xiaoxin lightly.
Didn't say anything.
"Dad, Mom was already frightened. She actually took out the little brown sugar at home and made two bowls of poached eggs for the official and the fairy sister!"
Luo Xiaoxin has long been accustomed to Luo Tiezhu, who is as lumpy as a stone.
Anyway, it was difficult for Luo Tiezhu to say a word on weekdays.
I just heard Luo Xiaoxin say to himself, "Dad, do you think my mother is stupid? That high official came to our house and didn't bring anything with him.
You still show off your face as soon as you enter the door, Dad, you don’t know, that high official is so scary...
Our family didn't get anything good, so why did we stick in 4 eggs and a big piece of brown sugar?"
"Oh, Xiaoxin."
Luo Tiezhu finally spoke, "We are just a poor family, and dad doesn't expect you and Xiaozhong to have any big future.
However, you have a good brother by your side. You should learn how he behaves. In the future, you two brothers may at least not have to worry about eating and drinking.
In that case, dad and I will feel relieved.
You, don’t stare at those three melons and two dates all day long, okay? You won’t gain weight even if you eat them..."
Since Wang brought Luo Xiaoxin and Luo Xiaozhong remarried, this was the first time Luo Tiezhu had said so many words to Luo Xiaoxin.
This is the first time for me to have such a high-level and in-depth heart-to-heart talk.
However, Luo Xiaoxin did not buy Luo Tiezhu's fault, causing all his affection to go down the drain...
Luo Xiaoxin's mouth dropped, "Dad, what are you talking about? I don't have a brother. Whatever good things Luo Xuan had, they were all given to Xiaocao. How can Xiaozhong and I have any influence?"
Last time, I took a piece of candy from Xiaocao and licked it a few times... Huh, that boss Zhou, the second and third brothers...
Wuwuwu, you are blocking me and beating me every day!
Dad, you don’t know that Boss Zhou beat me and Xiaozhong three times in one day! Oh, oh, oh, if it wasn’t for that bastard Luo Xuan, who was instructing the three brothers from behind..."
"Snapped--"
Luo Tiezhu slapped Luo Xiaoxin on the head and shouted, "Get out!"
After saying that, Luo Tiezhu gritted his teeth, buried his head and ran forward!
Luo Xiaoxin was left alone with a confused look on his face, stunned on the spot: What...did Dad get into trouble today?
Did this offend the "swallowing" stone carving at the entrance of the village?
You actually hit, hit me?!
This is the first time that Luo Xiaoxin has followed the Wang family and lived in Luo Tiezhu's house for so many years.
"Wow--"
Luo Xiaoxin suddenly squatted on the ground, probably because the ground was too hot. Shocked, Luo Xiaoxin quickly rolled around in the grass next to him.
Then he burst into tears all of a sudden: "Mom, that man of yours hit me! Woo hoo hoo, I just said something about Luo Xuan, that bitch..."
As soon as the word ‘dog’ is spoken,
Luo Xiaoxin was really not sure whether Luo Tiezhu would turn around and beat him again?
So he quickly changed his words, "I just said something about that person, and he hit me... Mom, you are such a nasty man..."
Luo Tiezhu ignored Luo Xiaoxin who was rolling around and just hurried home.
After a while, Luo Tiezhu returned home.
When he had just put one foot into the threshold, a big hand grabbed his shoulder, "Are you Luo Tiezhu?"
Luo Tiezhu nodded.
"Let's go, take me to my sister's grave."
Lu Gang's face was ashen and he grabbed Luo Tiezhu's forearm with one hand.
At the same time, Lu Gang's thumb was like a steel bar, pinching into Luo Tiezhu's "Shou Sanli" acupoint!
This time,
The muscles in Luo Tiezhu's arm were originally as stiff as iron, but the entire left arm was like an electric current flowing through it, unable to exert any strength at all!
Lu Gang pulled Luo Tiezhu out of the door and threw the pendant he was holding in his other hand violently!
This pendant,
Originally, Wang used brown sugar to "exchange" it from Luo Xuan.
As soon as Lu Gang entered the house, Mrs. Wang was so frightened when she saw a big cadre coming to the house that she quickly stepped forward and greeted Lu Gang and his daughter to sit down with a smile on their faces.
But Lu Gang, who originally had a gloomy expression, saw the brass pendant around Wang's neck when she bent down.
Lu Gang stretched out his hand, not shying away from the difference between men and women, and pulled off the pendant!
"Dad, what are you...?"
His father was so rude today. Lu Miao was deeply surprised and said, "Dad, you have to calm down."
"I'm afraid this is the only thing your aunt has left in this world."
Lu Gang held the pendant in his hands without opening the cover to look at it.
No need to guess: this pendant that I personally gave to my sister Zhao Mei is now hanging openly on the neck of the dry woman in front of me.
The photos inside must have been replaced by those of Wang.
Seeing it will only make you more disgusted!
Lu Gang gritted his teeth and said, "This kid Luo Xuan may seem naughty, but he is kindhearted in his heart.
Previously, he never mentioned the reason why he separated and lived alone at a young age.
There was no mention of the pendant.
Huh, now it seems that Luo Xuan was bullied a lot in this family before!"
The muscles on Lu Gang's face twitched suddenly: "My only sister's child has been bullied. As an uncle, I have to stand up for him today!"
Lu Gang has experienced countless battles on the battlefield and faced countless life and death situations.
Once he gets angry, the murderous aura emanating from him is truly terrifying!
Wang was so frightened on the spot that she clamped her legs together, trembling so much, and turned around to get some poached eggs...
Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend!
This man is so vicious!
It's countless times scarier than when the old party secretary gets angry.
Wang didn’t know who Lu Gang was, and she couldn’t figure out why she got into trouble with him inexplicably.
only,
In Wang's extremely limited knowledge, is there any hatred or resentment that cannot be resolved with a bowl of poached eggs?
Poached eggs with brown sugar!
Eat until you sip the sweetness in your mouth...
Eat some candy and your mood will feel better.
So, Mrs. Wang quickly slipped away to make poached eggs.
Lu Miao saw her father, who had not hesitated to fight with a woman's family to grab the pendant.
And now,
As soon as his uncle, whom he had never met before, entered the house, Lu Gang threw the pendant without a trace again?!
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Lu Miao was confused and asked Lu Gang, "This is the only thought left by my aunt. How could you throw it away?"
Lu Gang let out a fierce breath, "It's better to save people than to keep things.
This pendant is... dirty, and there is no use keeping it. Your aunt also left behind a cousin, Luo Xuan, so just have him."
Zhao Mei's cemetery is quite far from Luo Tiezhu's home, and the place is also very remote.
The grass is luxuriant and there are no paths for wild flowers.
The three of them walked for a while and finally arrived at Zhao Mei's grave.
only...
When she saw the scene in front of her, Lu Miao was still new to the world, so she didn't feel anything was wrong.
But Lu Gang was stunned on the spot!
"Sister...you, you repaired this grave?"
Lu Gang originally had a surge of anger hidden in his heart, but when he saw that his sister Zhao Mei's grave had been built with brand new red bricks and small strips of stone, it had a completely new look and was neatly built.
Seeing this scene, the anger in Lu Gang's heart immediately disappeared without a trace...
He originally wanted to open his mouth and call Luo Tiezhu "brother-in-law", but he only called half of it, and he still couldn't say it out after all.
My sister, what a good person she is...
Beautiful, gentle, kind and generous.
Read books and be educated.
When Zhao Mei was a child, she had been living in the city. She was knowledgeable, well-informed and reasonable in dealing with people and things, and she was generous and not stingy in her behavior.
Moreover, Zhao Mei has also been to the provincial capital.
She can be regarded as one of the more cultivated and knowledgeable women among the younger generation before liberation.
Such a good woman fell from the clouds to the ground because of her father's thought. She has been stuck in this poor mountain village and suffered a lot.
Until Zhao Mei ran out of oil and her lamp ran out, and finally died...
Luo Tiezhu, a rough man, a poor man who doesn't know how to pity his own women... Is he worthy of his sister?
Lu Gang had 10,000 dissatisfactions in his heart!!
However, this is not to blame for Lu Gang's understanding.
In fact, Lu Gang's father took Zhao Mei and moved his household registration from the county seat to before the arrival of the Zhengxing Brigade.
At that time, Lu Gang had already drifted away and had never returned to his hometown.
later,
Lu Gang only found out about Zhao Mei's marriage to Luo Tiezhu through letters.
At this time, it would be sheer nonsense to say that there is any affection between Lu Gang and his brother-in-law Luo Tiezhu.
"I don't."
Luo Tiezhu said three words carelessly, and then he remained silent as before.
"You didn't do it?!"
When Lu Gang heard this, the anger that had just dissipated began to rise again.
Lu Miao quickly stepped forward, gently pulled Lu Gang's sleeve, and said softly, "Dad, please control your emotions. Being angry will not help..."
As she spoke, Lu Miao pointed at Zhao Mei's grave and whispered, "Auntie, you are watching us over there."
When Lu Gang heard this, he took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.
Obviously, Lu Gang was trying his best to calm down the anger in his chest.
"Xiao Zhang, bring the things here."
Lu Gang said to the driver who was standing under the small altar in front of the grave, waiting quietly for instructions, "Be careful when you take the flowers, don't bump into them."
Lu Miao said, "I'd better do it. Dad, you said: Auntie loves flowers, likes to pursue perfection, and doesn't like things with imperfections."
After saying that, Lu Miao turned around lightly and gently, and followed Xiao Zhang to get the flowers in memory of Zhao Mei.
When the two of them walked away, Lu Gang turned around and stared at Luo Tiezhu, who was standing in front of the grave like a wooden stake and asked, "Is it true that you didn't repair this grave?"
Luo Tiezhu turned around slowly, glanced at Wang who was shrinking in the distance, and then said two words lightly: "No, I don't have money to buy these red bricks. Moreover, I can't get the approval slip to buy the bricks."
Hiss~
Lu Gang's eyes just now were fixed on Luo Tiezhu who was speaking.
Lu Gang had already seen it: when Luo Tiezhu was speaking just now, his eyes flickered and wandered... Luo Tiezhu, he was trying his best to hide something!
Luo Tiezhu's words are half true and half false.
He is just an idiot, the kind of person who will starve to death without asking for help.
Not to mention whether Luo Tiezhu had the ability to hide so much private money from the Wang family.
Lu Gang dared to conclude that he absolutely did not have the ability to get the approval slip for buying red bricks.
Of course Luo Tiezhu was hiding something when he spoke just now.
Because he had already promised Luo Xuan: He would never tell anyone about the fact that he and Luo Xuan worked together to renovate the tomb.
Some time ago, Luo Xuan would use a small cart to move bricks, lime, and small stones to the grave head bit by bit at night.
Luo Tiezhu, on the other hand, would run to Zhao Mei's grave after finishing work in the quarry and work piecemeal for a while.
The amount of bricks and stones required to repair the tomb is not too much.
But in Luo Tiezhu's eyes, transporting so many bricks and stones here was not an easy task for Luo Xuan.
What Luo Tiezhu didn't know was that Luo Xuan could use the space to carry things.
The reason why Luo Xuan wanted to build the grave was because he had no feelings for Zhao Mei, let alone any spiritual connection.
But Zhao Mei is her predecessor's adoptive mother after all, so she still has to repay her kindness.
This person has passed away.
Since he couldn't fulfill his filial piety at Zhao Mei's knees, repairing someone's grave was the only thing Luo Xuan could do.
For no other reason than Luo Xuan just wants peace of mind and a clear conscience.
