Chapter 365 What Happened That Year



Of course Wang Qiufen also wanted to help her mother's family, but she knew in her heart that her nephew was not cut out for the job of a driver.

She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Old Five, you know your uncle's brothers are all so stupid they can't do the job of a driver. Do you have any other ideas?"

Not everyone can drive a car, and if you damage the car you won’t be able to afford the compensation.

Besides, her family can’t afford the 800 yuan, and she can’t buy a job on credit!

Lu Cheng spread his hands and said, "Mom, my job is a driver. If I quit, I can only sell my job. What else can I do?"

He understood what his mother meant and wanted him to change his cousin's job.

But he also had a lot to do. He had to find someone willing to take over the job, and there was also the price difference, which was quite troublesome.

And it might not be possible to find a suitable one in a short time, so he didn't plan to take care of it.

Although Wang Qiufen felt it was a pity, she didn't want to embarrass her son, so she said, "Forget it."

Seeing Wang Qiufen's gloomy look, Lu Cheng felt a little uncomfortable. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Why don't we ask Lu Wen if he's willing to take over the driver's job and let his cousin do the loading and unloading work?"

Lu Wen has been working in the loading and unloading team for such a long time and gets along well with everyone.

When you are free, you can also listen to how the driver teaches his apprentice. You should learn faster than if you know nothing.

If he sells this job to someone else, he can get more money and not have to worry about anything else. If he sells it to his family, he will have to worry about so many things and lose a lot of money.

"I think it's okay. I'll go to your uncle's house and ask him tomorrow." Wang Qiufen immediately became happy.

Although her nephew may not be good at other things, he is very strong and can definitely do the loading and unloading work.

Things could only be discussed like this for the time being. When Uncle Lu Er and Uncle Lu San came over, Lu Rongjiang told them about the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.

Since the work matter could not be decided for the time being, Lu Rongjiang did not say anything.

In the middle of the night, Qin An Ning went to see her grandparents and told them about going to school.

Lu Cheng stayed with her all the time. When he came back, he sent Qin An Ning home and then he was about to go out again.

"Ningning, go to sleep first. I'll go see the professor."

Qin Anning paused while changing her clothes, then looked up at him with sparkling eyes, "Did you get the professor to do it?"

"About the same. The professor has been hurt before, so it's not easy for him to open up. He never looks happy every time I go over to him.

But if I asked a question, he would ignore me, then turn his back and start talking to himself, all he said was the answer to the question."

Qin Anning couldn't help laughing when she heard this. "How can the professor be so cute and yet say one thing and mean another?"

Thinking of the professor's awkward look, Lu Cheng couldn't help but curl his lips, "Yes, although he has been hurt, he still has a pure heart, which is very worthy of respect.

So I have to tell him about going to school."

"Then go quickly and get some more rice, flour, etc. Oh, and give them two bottles of these health pills." Qin An Ning flipped his wrist, and two bottles of pills appeared in his palm.

The nights at the end of August were already a little chilly, so they didn't need to go back to the space to sleep.

Qin An Ning was lying on the kang. She originally wanted to wait for Lu Cheng to come back, but she fell asleep while waiting. She had no idea when Lu Cheng would come back.

After breakfast in the morning, Lu Cheng drove Wang Qiufen to his uncle's house.

Qin An Ning wanted to go see Meng Yu and Wu Yanli, so she didn't go with them. She never expected that she would miss such a good show.

Wang Qiufen has four siblings, including two sisters, an older brother and a younger brother.

Wang Qiufen had a falling out with her brother a few years ago and they haven't been in touch in recent years. Even her uncle didn't come to Lu Cheng's wedding.

Because of why?

This happened the year Lu Cheng fell from a tree and fell into a coma.

That was in 1961, and the Great Famine had not yet ended. Although the situation here was less severe than in the south, people were still not getting enough to eat.

The Lu family has five children, most of whom are half-grown. The grain production has been reduced due to disasters, so they have been tightening their belts to make ends meet.

Lu Cheng climbed the tree to get bird eggs to supplement food for his family, and no one expected that he would fall down.

He spent a lot of money on medical expenses after the fall, and he had no choice but to sell food.

At that time, Lu Rongjiang and Wang Qiufen only survived by drinking a bowl of porridge made of wild vegetables and countable rice grains a day.

Lu Cheng was in a coma. In order to save his life, Lu Rongjiang and Wang Qiufen made white flour porridge and fed it to him every day.

Unexpectedly, the little life-saving flour left for Lu Cheng was seen by Wang Qiufen, his younger brother who came to borrow food.

Although Wang Qiufen now has four siblings, her parents actually gave birth to eight children and only left four.

The youngest brother was spoiled and became very selfish.

Who didn't lack food at that time? He knew that the Lu family had sold a lot of food to pay for Lu Cheng's medical treatment, but he still came to borrow food.

Not only did he borrow food, he also set his eyes on Lu Cheng's life-saving food and insisted on taking it away, saying that he would take it back to honor his mother.

Lu Cheng was unconscious and couldn't eat anything, so he depended on this little bit of food to survive. How could Wang Qiufen let him take it away?

This little brother was no pushover either. He started snatching things from Wang Qiufen right away.

Lu Rongjiang and the children went out to find food, leaving only Wang Qiufen and an unconscious Lu Cheng at home.

No matter how powerful Wang Qiufen was, she couldn't beat a man. What's more, she ate little every day and had no strength at all. Besides, she couldn't bring herself to kill her own brother.

In this way, half a bag of sorghum rice and a small bag of flour in the house were snatched away by her younger brother.

This is all the food the Lu family has. If he takes it away, the whole family will starve to death.

Wang Qiufen tried her best to grab it. She was reluctant to attack her brother, but her brother was reluctant to attack her. He pushed her down and her head hit the wood and she passed out.

When she woke up, she was lying on the kang. She hurried to the fields to ask for food.

It was Lu Rongjiang who stopped her. Without saying anything, he handed her a small bag of flour.

But the wound on his head could not be hidden.

Wang Qiufen asked the children and found out that Lu Rongjiang and his friends came back from looking for food and found her unconscious in the yard. They carried her into the house and discovered that all the food was gone.

There was not enough food, so people usually stayed still if possible to save energy. After asking several families, I found out that they saw Wang Qiufen's younger brother leaving with a bag of food on his back.

Lu Rongjiang chased after him and got back the small bag of flour without knowing what he said, but he didn't get back half a bag of sorghum rice and he was still injured on the head.

Wang Qiufen was so angry that she broke off relations with this younger brother and only visited her mother during the holidays.

Within two years, her mother passed away, and she never visited her younger brother's house again. It seemed as if the two of them would never have any contact with each other again.

I didn't expect to meet her younger brother when I went to her eldest brother's house today.

Wang Qiufen was resentful of what happened that year, so when she saw him, she pretended not to know him and didn't even glance at him.

"Qiufen, Lu Cheng, why are you two here? Come in and sit down." Uncle Wang greeted them with a simple and honest look on his face.

"I came to see you, where's your sister-in-law?"

Wang Qiufen was quite polite when speaking to Uncle Wang.

Although her elder brother is easily influenced and has no opinions of his own, he is still a good person.
