Chapter 124 Years Ago
After Lu Jiajie listened to Lu Jiaguang's analysis, he went to Ma Lili to ask about the matter. Under his questioning, Ma Lili admitted that she had told her parents about the incident.
Ma Lili said: "Jiajie, I only told my mother, but it was just a casual mention and I didn't tell him intentionally."
Lu Jiajie asked: "What did your parents do to us back then? They had money in their hands and were unwilling to lend it to us to buy a house. Yan Jixiang bullied Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng, but she still had to give in to the two children. Have you forgotten all this? Already?"
Ma Lili did not dare to look directly into his eyes and said, "They are my parents. How can I stay away from them for the rest of my life?"
"So, you still don't feel that you were wrong?"
Ma Lili said: "I made a mistake, I should have told you earlier."
After the two had a big fight, Lu Jiajie went home. It was getting dark and Lu Jiajie left but did not come back at night.
Ma Lili thought he was drinking with friends and staying at his friend's house when he was drunk, but she didn't smell the alcohol even when he was close to him. She looked stern: "Where did you go last night?"
Lu Jiajie ignored her and went back to the room.
Ma Lili knew that he was still angry, but she had to rush to work, so she gave the two children a few words and hurried out.
Lu Jiajie lived in the Ma family after getting married. He also felt a little guilty and did all the work at home except washing clothes. He is very good at carrying briquettes and rice, washing clothes and feeding children. The two children were also very close to him.
I asked my two children to help me pack the clothes, and then I went out to a restaurant for lunch, and then I took my two children out.
When Ma Lili came back, she saw a note left on the table, saying that he had taken his two children back to his hometown.
Looking at the note, Ma Lili was so angry that her head was smoking. It's just that the person has already boarded the train and cannot be chased back. No matter how angry he is, he can only endure it. I was just thinking about Zheng Panlan saying today that she was waiting for money to buy new year goods. Her head was as big as an ox.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, every household starts making snacks. Lu Jiaxin doesn't eat fried food, which is irritating and not nutritious, but she is a little greedy after smelling the fragrance every day. First, Xue Mao went to buy glutinous rice flour, sticky rice flour and other ingredients, and then called Lu Ping and asked the four brothers and sisters to come over the next day to make cakes together.
Lu Jiaxin is going to make two kinds of cakes, one is sugar rice cake, and the other is flower cake. Under Lu Jiaxin’s guidance, I quickly made a steamer.
Lu Zhenzhen smelled the fragrance and shouted to eat. Lu Jiaxin checked her watch and waited for five minutes before opening the steamer. After checking the color, she took out a piece.
After carefully taking a bite of the sugar rice cake, Lu Zhenzhen said it was delicious. After eating, she even shouted for more.
Lu Jiaxin picked up the steamer and put it on the table for everyone to help themselves. She also ate a piece herself. It was sweet and soft, and left people with endless aftertaste after eating it. Well, the craftsmanship has not been lost.
After Xue Mao finished eating, he said excitedly: "Sister Xin, please teach me how to make it! Once I learn how to make it, I will sell it. It will definitely be popular."
Lu Jiaxin felt that she was looking for money: "You have to go to class after the Lantern Festival. If you don't study hard then, don't set up an early stall."
"ah……"
Lu Jiaxin scolded: "Ah what, do you really want to be illiterate? If you want to set up a breakfast stall for the rest of your life, then I won't care about it anymore."
Xue Mao didn't want to go to school, but he was afraid that Lu Jiaxin would really ignore him in the future. The good life he has now is all because of Sister Xin. If Sister Xin doesn't care about him, Xue Mao is afraid that he will go back to the past: "Sister Xin, I practice calligraphy every day. If you don't believe it, I will show it to you now." look."
Lu Jiaxin said: "No, the book is for you to read and practice. If you want to fool me, you will fool yourself."
Xue Mao immediately said that he would study seriously and never fool around.
Lu Zhenzhen ate six pieces and was a little full: "Sister-in-law, I want to give some to mom. Mom works too hard every day."
Well, the little cotton-padded jacket is still considerate.
Lu Jiaxin prepared quite a lot this time. She smiled and said, "Your mother brought the stewed chicken in the kitchen this morning. Your parents work every day, so they should eat more good food to replenish their food."
After the chicken was stewed, Lu Jiaxin asked the two elders, Lu Ping and Lu An, to take Lu Zhang and Lu Zhenzhen to deliver food respectively.
The missions Lu Jiaguang went on back then were often dangerous, so Sister-in-law Lu gave them the names Pingping and An'an, hoping that her eldest brother would always be safe. The name is very ordinary, but it entrusts the most sincere feelings.
Lu Jiaguang was about to go to the cafeteria for lunch. He was surprised when his two sons came. When he heard that they were bringing cakes and chicken soup, he was surprised. This was the first time in so many years that a family member brought food to the work. It wasn't that Wang Xiaojie didn't care about him, but that she had to work and take care of her children and didn't have the time or energy.
Lu An said: "We made the cakes with my aunt, and Zhenzhen said we would give them to you and mom to eat. Mom bought the chicken and sent it to my sister-in-law, who said you and mom were busy all day and needed to eat more."
Lu Jiaguang thought to himself, he ate a piece of flower cake, and the taste was not inferior to the one bought in the pastry shop. He doesn't like sweets, so he ate a piece and didn't move.
Lu An was also a little hungry and wanted to go back as soon as the things were delivered: "Dad, let's go back first."
"Don't go back, just have lunch here."
The two brothers just didn't want to go to the cafeteria to eat. Lu Jiaxin is very willing to eat, Xue Mao is also good at cooking, and the food is very delicious, which cannot be compared with the canteen.
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Seeing the two brothers flying out of the office, Lu Jiaguang chuckled, then took the pastries and chicken soup to the cafeteria. After receiving a wave of praise and envy, he walked back to the office with a smile on his face.
“Ring, ring, ring…”
The call was from Lu Hongjun: “Jiaguang, I heard Jiajie went back to his hometown. Why didn’t you tell me about this?”
He only found out yesterday that Lu Jiajie had returned. He had originally asked him to come home to help, but his niece-in-law said that he had taken his two children back to his hometown for the New Year.
Lu Jiaguang knew that Lu Jiajie had gone back to celebrate the New Year, and he had bought two sleeper tickets for him, but he thought Lu Jiajie had told Lu Hongjun about it: “Jiajie has never been back to Beijing for the New Year. Now that he has a long vacation and has time, he should take his two children back for the New Year.”
It’s not that Lu Jiajie doesn’t want to go back, but that the unit and factory are closed on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month and go back to work on the third day of the first lunar month. At the end of the year, the factory is busy and does not allow leave. For someone like him, it’s too busy at the end of the year to take leave.
Lu Hongjun nodded and said, "This year, you come to my place for the New Year. Don't bring anything. Just come."
The year when Lu's mother passed away, Wang Xiaojie couldn't stand Ding Jing's face and spent the New Year at her own home. After that, Lu Hongjun would call the couple every New Year, and he went there for the sake of face. Last year, it was Lu Jiaguang's turn to work the night shift on New Year's Eve, so Wang Xiaojie spent the New Year at her own home with her children.
When Lu Jiaguang heard this, his good mood disappeared instantly: "Uncle San, we are going to Jiaxin's place for the New Year this year. This is the first year she moved to the new house, and the house cannot be empty during the New Year."
This is a custom, and Lu Jiaxin agreed to it as soon as she told them.
