If Lu Miao hadn't gone to the pier to pick up Luo Xuan, I would have called Lu Miao and asked for the specific location of her home.
Luo Xuan then followed the path to find it, asking random passers-by if he wanted to find out the specific location of the courtyard.
I definitely can't figure out why.
As for the location of this compound, Lu Miao could only say that it was in the middle of Dongfang Street, but he really couldn't tell Luo Xuan its house number.
Because this compound has no house number at all!
Even the postman who delivers letters to this compound is a dedicated person.
People in the society don't even know where the Lu Miao family is. What exactly is it?
However, the environment around Lu Miao's house is quite good, with tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle and winding roads leading to secluded areas.
There are lush forests and gurgling rivers.
Luo Xuan followed Lu Miao and walked a long way through the lush street trees on the wide and quiet Dongfang Street.
Then in the middle of the street.
Here, on the river passing through the city, there will be a small bridge that is not wide.
Under the cover of trees, most people would not pay much attention to this bridge that seems to lead to nowhere.
When Luo Xuan pushed his bicycle onto the bridge, there were rows of tall and neat cypress trees in front of him.
Because of the obstruction of this row of trees, no one can clearly see what kind of scene is behind the cypress trees.
Luo Xuan followed Lu Miao and walked through the path lined with evergreen bushes on both sides.
The road is winding and winding.
From time to time, behind the evergreen bushes, there are rows of tall shrubs, which obscure the surrounding scenery.
Covered up tightly.
After walking into the trail for a few hundred meters, there was a sign in front of you.
It says, "Area not open to the public, no visitors allowed."
After walking a few dozen meters further, another small or medium-sized notice board appeared.
This time, the tone of what was written above was obviously much harsher: "This is a restricted area, no entry is allowed except by invitation. You will be responsible for the consequences!"
Walking further inside, there are twists and turns.
Luo Xuan and Lu Miao finally arrived at the entrance of a courtyard with mottled lime.
This gate,
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary factory gate that has been built for a long time and is now dilapidated. There is nothing surprising about it.
Standing outside the gate and looking in,
All that can be seen is a very wide stone wall with slogans that were very common during this period carved in cement.
Everything seems to be nothing surprising.
only,
When Luo Xuan walked into this courtyard, he immediately noticed that it was different: the person on duty in the concierge was not the most common gray-haired old man at the door of the factory dormitory building.
Instead, they were three young men in casual clothes with straight backs!
From their words, deeds, and actions, there is a hint of martial arts style.
This is my current brother!
When Lu Miao took Luo Xuan, he registered his name, place of origin, age, and purpose of visit with the concierge.
and the person you want to visit.
The concierge on duty also made two special phone calls: one was to report to their superiors.
Secondly, you have to call Lu Gang’s home to confirm again.
Then Luo Xuan was issued a "XX Temporary Pass".
"This is home?"
Luo Xuan stuffed his pass into his pocket, and while pushing his bicycle, he muttered: "It feels about the same as being in jail!"
Lu Miao chuckled: "Brother Luo Xuan, do you understand my pain now? It's better to be in your Xiaolaojun Mountain! You can be free.
You can shout if you want to, and make a noise if you want to.
You want to roll two balls on the grass on the hillside, but no one will tell you: Oops, it’s dirty here, Oops, there are bacteria there... It’s really annoying!”
"Ah, Miaomiao is back?"
Standing on the balcony, the aunt of Lu Miao's family, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Lu Miao and a young man walking over talking and laughing, and quickly said hello.
Then he ran all the way downstairs.
When he left the foyer, two young staff members, a man and a woman, came to greet him enthusiastically.
Help Luo Xuan unload the luggage under the bicycle.
"Is this Comrade Luo Xuan?"
While helping to get some groceries, the aunt greeted Luo Xuan with a smile: "Comrade Lu Gang told me a long time ago that Comrade Luo will come from the countryside today.
Let me prepare some hot water in advance so that Comrade Luo can take a good wash.... Come on, please come inside."
He crossed his legs and just stepped on the floor tiles in front of the hall.
"Comrade Luo, please be careful."
The aunt turned her head and reminded Luo Xuan softly: "The floor under your feet is slippery, so don't fall."
???
Damn it!
When I really have no knowledge and have never seen a frog in a well with a bigger dustpan,
right?
The anti-slip floor tiles with a size of 30 x 30 will be lost if I look at them for posterity!
Staring at the aunt who seemed to have good intentions but actually had an inexplicable sense of superiority, Luo Xuan did not have a seizure.
these people,
They also have units and establishments.
When you enter the house, you will see a stained wooden floor, which has been polished with wax. I am afraid that even a mouse would fall over if it ran on it.
"Be careful, the floor is slippery. And this kind of solid wood floor is difficult to maintain. You need to change into slippers when entering the house."
Before the aunt could speak,
Luo Xuan sat in the dressing room in the foyer and began to take off his shoes, minding his own business.
He muttered: "You can't spit anywhere at home. If you want to spit, you need to pull a piece of toilet paper, spit it into it and put it in the trash can."
Or spit it into a special spittoon. After using the toilet, you need a toilet. The flushing device is a string next to the water tank above the toilet..."
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
“Wash your hands after using the toilet and dry them with the special towel on the rack.
You also need to wash your hands before eating and rinse your mouth after eating.”
As Luo Xuan changed his slippers, he muttered: "Don't cough at the table while eating. In principle, try not to talk.
If you need to speak, try to lower your voice and avoid spitting.
When picking up dishes, don’t pick and choose, and don’t stretch your arms to pick up dishes on distant plates.
In that case, it will give others a bad impression that he has never eaten good food and looks like a starving ghost reincarnated..."
After changing his shoes, Luo Xuan went straight into the house.
As for the pair of cloth shoes that he had replaced, Luo Xuan didn't care about them.
That's the job of the aunts and the others. You can't ruin their jobs, right?
Lu Miao's house is antique-looking, with shoulder-high solid wood walls all over the walls.
In the living room, there is a circle of light gray canvas sofa, showing luxury in a low-key manner.
Only those wealthy people in the old days liked to use large leather sofas.
The place where Lu Gang lives seems to be quite large. It has a living room, study room, washroom and bathroom.
It just lacks the atmosphere of human fireworks.
After taking a shower, Lu Gang also came back from get off work.
Lunch for 3 people, 6 dishes and 1 soup.
The appearance of these dishes is quite beautiful, and the preparation is also very exquisite. It's a pity that I can't eat it, let alone satisfy my craving.
Lu Gang, who lives a simple life, pays more attention to health, and eats plain food, is coming today at noon because of Luo Xuan.
Then I specifically asked the cooking aunt to add 3 more dishes.
In fact, strictly speaking, the aunt who helps with cooking and cleaning at Lu Gang's house cannot be called an aunt.
It's called a life worker.
As for those who run errands and help with some chores, there are also staff responsible, which are called orderlies.
Lu Gang gave Luo Xuan a piece of vegetables, then asked with a smile: "How is it? You should get used to being here with me, right?"
Luo Xuan nodded and said nothing.
"Your attitude is not honest enough."
Lu Gang said with a smile: "We all encourage everyone to say what they want and tell the truth. Just say whatever you think in your heart. The speaker is not guilty."
Luo Xuan was still very indifferent: "It's good, really."
Lu Gang smiled and said, "What's wrong? Isn't my family good?"
Luo Xuan chuckled: "Okay, it's like a state guesthouse."
This time,
Lu Gang heard the smell: Luo Xuan secretly said that there is no smell of home in this house...
Since this place cannot be called a "home", there is no way to talk about whether it is good or bad.
There is no way, since this topic cannot be discussed, we can only start dinner.
"Luo Xuan, is there anything you need to explain to me?"
Lu Gang asked while eating, "For example, your choice of future path. What are you determined to do, where do you want to develop, etc."
Luo Xuan replied: "Uncle, my ambition is very simple: learn a skill and don't have to worry about food in this life."
"That's it?"
Lu Gang knew that he needed to use some tricks to talk to the guy in front of him.
then,
Lu Gang asked again: "The definition of technology is too broad. Repairing airplanes and launching rockets are technologies;
Cultivating new varieties of crops and studying how to increase grain yield per acre are also within the scope of technical research."
Luo Xuan said: "I want to learn animal husbandry and breeding techniques."
When Lu Gang heard this answer, the tachyon in his hand paused slightly: "As far as I know, if you study this major, you will eventually have to go back to work in the commune.
First, he became a livestock herder.
Or they go from house to house in the countryside to treat and prevent diseases for poultry and livestock such as piglets and chickens in the breeding rooms of the production teams.
Or, be responsible for animal quarantine and other tasks in the slaughterhouse of the supply and marketing cooperative's food station."
"It also includes grooming pigs, capons, and piercing the noses of cows."
Luo Xuan added seriously: "Artificial insemination technology has now begun to be popularized in the production team. Therefore, the daily work of livestock workers may also include breeding sows."
"puff--"
Lu Miao almost couldn't hold back her laughter and quickly covered her mouth.
He just suppressed his pretty face and turned it red!
"Pfft——"
The aunt who was standing in the corner of the dining room, ready to serve soup and rice to the three people on the dining table.
At this moment, she really couldn't hold back her laughter!
Lu Gang had a humble temperament, and he didn't care about that aunt.
But facing Luo Xuan, Lu Gang was not so polite: "Play the piano randomly!"
Lu Gang slapped the kuaizi in his hand on the table, "Other people learn a skill or study more in order to get away from the countryside as much as possible.
Just to integrate into the city as quickly as possible.
Even if he is not doing it for himself, he is just doing it for his future children so that they can receive a better education and have a broader knowledge base.
They all need to leave the countryside and integrate into the city as soon as possible so that they can enjoy better educational resources and come into contact with more people and things."
Lu Gang glared at Luo Xuan and corrected what Luo Xuan had just called him: "Don't call me uncle, I am your uncle."
"save?"
Luo Xuan shook his head: "I was so hungry that I couldn't sleep all night long, while I was tossing and turning on the hard bed.
I could only get up and drink a bowl of cold water by myself.
Then go to the firewood pile and look inside the soybean straw to see if there are any soybeans left.
Sometimes you are lucky enough to find a few shriveled soybeans. You put them into the stove and roast them for a while. They are still half-cooked and drink them with cold water.
At that time, I was trying to save myself."
Luo Xuan still ate leisurely, "During the day, when I went to cut grass for the production team, I was so hungry that I fainted several times in the wasteland.
When I finally woke up, I grabbed a few handfuls of grass and chewed them in my mouth.
Wait until you have some strength.
I would find a few crabs the size of fingernails, or small fish and shrimps as thick as tachyons, and fill my stomach with these things.
Whenever that happens, I tell myself: Don’t count on anyone, I can only save myself.”
Lu Gang said, ‘I am your uncle’.
Luo Xuan suddenly said, "I can only save myself."
The implication is: I have no other uncle except to save myself.
"Well, it seems you have a knot in your mind."
Lu Gang sighed slightly.
Then he put down the tachyon and stood up: "I have nothing to do at my work this afternoon. I won't go to work in the afternoon. I will just stay at home and chat with you."
Said,
Lu Gang turned around and walked into his study, "I'll wait for you in the study."
Lu Miao looked at her father's back, then at Luo Xuan: "Brother Luo Xuan..."
"It's fine."
Luo Xuan replied: "All the hardships I suffered yesterday were not caused by my uncle. So in my heart, I don't blame him at all."
"I just don't want anyone to interfere in my affairs. No matter if he says it's for my own good or something else."
Luo Xuan explained: "If I don't talk to your dad today, let's talk openly and clearly.
I'm worried that tomorrow, he will secretly use the connections he has to transfer me from the technical secondary school to Gangnei City No. 1 High School."
In a few years, I’m afraid no one will be able to study.
Follow the path Lu Gang arranged for himself: first go to a key high school in the city, and then wait to be admitted to college?
Go ahead and dream!
By then, everyone will have to go to the countryside to repair the earth.
Instead of learning nothing in an ordinary high school, it is better to go to a vocational secondary school and learn a skill!
At least in technical secondary schools, in normal study and life, because you have to do experiments, you have to go to the grassroots level for training.
In that case, your study career will be more colorful.
It's not like ordinary high schools, where you open your eyes every day and just memorize by rote, just study hard and practice hard.
