Chapter 12 Can't Go to Kyoto
It is now 1987, and people's living conditions are much better than before.
Even for the impoverished Luo family, they had enough rice and flour to eat, so they would not starve to death. The only thing they had was a lack of money.
If you want to survive, you can.
It's just that life is a bit hard.
For example, Luo Luo wants to eat meat every day, and Grandpa wants to drink a little wine every day...
These are not easy to achieve.
It is no exaggeration to say that one pound of pork belly can be eaten for more than half a month.
Shen Qianfei didn't think that she would live the same hard life as in her previous life if she were to go back in time, so she asked her to make steamed dumplings with the oil sticks that her grandmother had put in the jar of meat oil.
Not to mention how fresh and fragrant it is when you take a bite, just looking at it makes you feel greedy.
Therefore, the returning Luo family members, including the village chief, couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Gu Cui was even more surprised.
Who made this meal? Was there anyone who helped? Everyone looked at Shen Qianfei in shock.
When she found out that it was indeed Shen Qianfei who did it, Gu Cui was so moved that she choked up with tears. On the one hand, she was relieved, but on the other hand, she felt heartbroken.
This is why children from poor families have to grow up early.
But this is too good, she never taught her.
You know, this kid probably doesn’t even know how to cook porridge, let alone make dumplings.
It’s more like Lolo did it.
Luo Luo said: "My sister is really amazing. She can sing an English song word for word just by listening to it once. What's the big deal about cooking a little..."
Village Chief Yu nodded repeatedly: "That's the truth. A stupid person may not learn even if you teach him a hundred times, but a smart person will understand it immediately..."
Shen Qianfei didn't want to discuss this matter too much. It was just cooking, so she just accepted it: "Although I haven't made it myself, I've seen it so many times that I've remembered it naturally. Grandpa, go wash your hands."
Luo Feng took Village Chief Yu, who was also helping with the work, to the pond, while Shen Qianfei and Luo Luo set up the stools and bowls and chopsticks. The little girl had just eaten a steamed dumpling and kept saying it was delicious, delicious, too delicious: "Sister, you are amazing, you can learn it in no time..."
Shen Qianfei smiled bitterly in her heart. During the days of wandering in her previous life, she had learned much more than just cooking.
Village Chief Yu stayed without any hesitation.
Shen Qianfei naturally told everyone, including Village Chief Yu, what happened this afternoon.
Luo Feng and Village Chief Yu looked at each other, thinking that they had met a noble person by chance.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be that easy.
Before leaving, Village Chief Yu whispered to Luo Feng: "Director Zhang is narrow-minded. He still holds a grudge against me for what happened back then. You have to be careful that he may take revenge on you behind your back."
Luo Feng patted Village Chief Yu on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "I understand. You should go back and rest early as well."
Village Chief Yu sighed and walked away staggeringly.
In the night, Luo Feng stood there in silence for a moment before walking back.
When he got to the cherry tree in the yard, he sat on the bench. It was hot in the house, and it was much cooler outside at this time.
As soon as I lit my pipe, I saw Feifei coming towards me with a bundle of wormwood.
The days are long in summer, and after dinner, the sky is still gray.
Shen Qianfei first lit the wormwood, then sat opposite Luo Feng, fanning herself with a cattail leaf fan and said, "Grandpa, can I ask you something?"
Luo Feng was in a good mood. He first praised Shen Qianfei's craftsmanship, and then said, "Fei Fei, when we sell potatoes in the fall, grandpa will buy you a tape recorder." He paused and said, "Ah, if you want to ask me something, go ahead."
"Today you told your uncle that you were going to Kyoto. There's an old friend there. Who is it? How come I don't know him?"
Luo Feng was afraid of choking his granddaughter, so he put out his pipe, sighed, and said, "Alas, it's normal that you don't know. That man was a friend of grandpa when he was young. We begged for food together. I saved his life, and then he joined the army... Now, although he is retired, he was a famous figure a few years ago. We haven't been in touch for a long time."
Shen Qianfei understood and said, "So, later on, due to the disparity in your status, you didn't interact much, so how did you get in touch now?"
"He asked an old comrade to find me, and I just wanted to take your mother to Kyoto for medical treatment." Luo Feng looked at Shen Qianfei and said with a smile: "As for school, don't worry. Your grandfather Lu said that his little grandson is a sophomore at Kyoto No. 1 High School. We will go to Kyoto during the summer vacation, and we can go to school together when school starts. Then you can be arranged in the same class to avoid being bullied by your classmates..."
Shen Qianfei frowned: "Housing in Kyoto is in short supply."
And going to school is not that easy.
Luo Feng smiled bitterly. This child still didn't understand many things. If he hadn't had no other choice, how could he have the nerve to bother Old Lu?
You have to know that things are different now. The two of them are no longer as poor as they were in the past. If he goes there now, it would be like taking advantage of others and currying favor with them.
"Don't worry about these things. Besides, we have no money for the trip now. Let's wait and see." Luo Feng felt a little annoyed and waved his hand to let Shen Qianfei go back to the room and sleep.
Shen Qianfei got up reluctantly. There were still many things she didn't understand, but it was obvious that her grandfather didn't want to say more about Grandpa Lu.
Grandpa Lu, there was no such person in my previous life.
However, during the time when she was working with Aunt Yun, a young man named Lu Wei pursued her for three years. It was not that she felt she was not worthy of him, but that she did not like him.
Moreover, she was an orphan whose family was broken up and she had not even finished high school. In her mother's words, the nanny in the family had a higher level of education than her.
So, she has always refused.
Later, she followed Aunt Yun to another city and never saw him again.
That man was also from Kyoto and had a good family background.
And this Grandpa Lu...
Come to think of it, it’s not a big deal. Maybe he found my grandfather on a whim. Otherwise, how could he not know about such a big thing happening in my grandfather’s family?
But even though he knew it, he didn't care about it, which shows that he is a cold-hearted person.
It is better not to have any contact with such a person.
I can’t go to Kyoto.
My mother’s illness cannot be cured by taking medicine or getting an injection.
There is always a way.
It seems that the broken bracelet is not entirely a bad thing.
Shen Qianfei was lying on the kang, next to Luo Yufen. Although her mother closed her eyes and didn't speak, she felt very at ease in her heart. Luo Luo, who was lying on the other side, had already fallen asleep.
As the night deepened, the silvery moon rose into the deep blue sky.
The lights in the village went out one by one, and in the darkness, only the frogs in the river pond were croaking.
Meanwhile, the distant Kyoto was ablaze with lights, especially in the city center, where neon lights were flickering.
Looking down from the air, it looks like a sea of lights.
In a house at the northernmost corner of a residential compound in the northern part of the city, the retired Mr. Lu now lives.
And he is the Grandpa Lu that Luo Feng mentioned.
He was also Luo Feng's childhood companion...
