Chapter 86 Chapter 86 1st update
Yu Jiajia didn't know that as their family was rushing to the countryside with their bags.
On the way back to the countryside, Lu Yaoyao stayed close to her sister-in-law the whole time.
Because my grandparents were with me, I was lucky enough to ride in their special car.
Except for being a bit crowded, everything else was fine.
Yu Jiajia looked out the window to kill time.
But no matter how skilled the driver was, the shaking still made her want to sleep, and she fell asleep unknowingly.
The rest of the people were about the same, except for two old people who slept less.
She had a deep sleep and was still a little dazed when Yu Jiajia was called.
"Sister-in-law, wake up, we're almost there." Lu Yaoyao gently pulled her.
Yu Jiajia shook her head to indicate that she was awake.
When I looked around, I found that the scene outside had changed.
She had previously imagined what the Lu family’s house in the village would be like, and thought it might be in good condition.
But I didn’t expect it to be so good!
There were houses where she had just seen, and they were brick houses.
At first she was just surprised, but as the car got closer, she saw more and more houses and the road seemed to be smoother, so she began to understand.
At least daily life wouldn't be so troublesome, and she wasn't being pretentious. After all, everyone has their own living habits.
The people in this place must be living a good life.
As expected, when they got off the bus, she was surprised by the surroundings.
Some people in the village had been waiting for a long time, especially those who drove here by car.
The second grandfather of the Lu family and his family, young and old, stood at the entrance of the village to greet them.
Mother Lu supported her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and greeted them while not forgetting her daughter-in-law.
"Jia Jia, come quickly and meet the other elders in our family."
Yu Jiajia was suddenly surrounded by gazes, and saw strangers on several floors looking at her.
There are people who are curious, surprised, and want to watch the fun.
She kept her demeanor as a young wife, stepped forward a few steps, and smiled shyly at everyone.
She just called out whatever Mother Lu asked her to call her, and she was smiling with a stiff face the whole time.
Fortunately, they were not surrounded for long, as Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu led the way and no one in the village dared to stop them.
So she had a chance to slip away with them.
When we arrived at the Lu family's old house, we saw a two-story blue brick and tile house covering a large area.
At first glance, it's very eye-catching!
Look carefully, it is still very eye-catching!
In particular, there is a very high wall surrounding the courtyard, which blocks the view of outsiders to a great extent.
Yu Jiajia looked around and sighed that the village was still noisy.
What Yu Jiajia didn't know was that no one in the village was making trouble. Apart from the friendship between them as people from the same village and with the same surname, they knew the capabilities of the Lu family, especially the old man. The village owed a lot to him in the early years. And it had been a few years since this room was built, especially since 1980, when the villagers went to Chengdu by chance, and since then Lujia Village started to make a fortune.
It was only when Lu Yaoyao noticed that her sister-in-law hadn't caught up that she turned around and looked for her, only to find her at the same place.
"Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?"
Lu Yaoyao followed her and looked over there, but didn't see anything.
"Ah, I just think this house is beautifully built."
Lu Yaoyao nodded immediately, "It's really good. Since grandpa and grandma built this, many people in our village have learned it."
"Yeah?"
Yu Jiajia was curious. This was not simple. Compared to the house built with red bricks, the house with blue bricks, white walls and tiles had the architectural tradition of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
The person who made this suggestion must be no simple person to appear in an inland mountain city.
The more Yu Jiajia thought about it, the heavier her head nodded.
Seeing that she had a gloomy face, Lu Yaoyao didn't know what to say, so she just pulled her.
As soon as we entered, Mother Lu's words came over with a smile.
The place where the Lu family lived was called Lujia Village, which is the place we are visiting today.
The most promising branch of the Lu family belongs to Grandpa Lu's branch. In addition to the achievements made by Grandpa Lu in his early years in the army, their branch has developed rapidly.
Grandpa Lu doesn’t have many brothers and sisters.
In fact, not many people survived. In the early years, there were two older brothers and two older sisters. Grandpa Lu was the youngest son. His parents died of illness, so the eldest brother and two older sisters took over the family.
With the marriage of the elder sister, the eldest brother also got married, and the only two younger brothers-in-law stayed at home.
During those years, the brothers had a good relationship, except that they lived in poverty. It was not until the year when the war broke out that Grandpa Lu found an opportunity to join the army, and things at home gradually got better.
But it was fate that the eldest brother of the Lu family died of illness a few years ago, and by the time Grandpa Lu went to look for him, he was already dead.
The people sitting in the room now are from the eldest brother's family and the second brother's family.
The widowed sister-in-law of the Lu family seldom goes out and has almost no contact with outsiders. The people they have the most contact with are Second Grandpa Lu and his family, but Grandpa Lu also takes good care of the children of his eldest brother, and they also find jobs for his children.
As he gets older, the old man wants to live in the countryside every year and talk to his brother.
Otherwise you might go there one day without knowing it.
"Hey, Yaoyao, call your sister-in-law." It was the chubby sister-in-law who spoke, and then looked at her with a smile.
Lu Yaoyao nodded and introduced them to the two of them.
"Second cousin, this is my sister-in-law."
Yu Jiajia saw her kindness and greeted her with a smile.
One by one, the eldest, second, third and other cousins came to greet her. She didn't see her eldest aunt and second aunt, as they should be with Lu's mother. She breathed a sigh of relief and understood what these sisters-in-law meant. They all wanted to get to know each other.
Grandpa Lu is the third son of the Lu family and has only two sons. Father Lu is the youngest son. The eldest grandfather of the Lu family has two sons and one daughter, which means there are three cousins and one younger cousin. Including the three married cousins, there are five or six nephews, which makes a big family. The same is true for the second grandfather of the Lu family. Even a smart brain like hers can't work anymore.
Fortunately, her younger sister reminded her and helped her to distinguish the members of her family.
After saying hello, Yu Jiajia sat down to rest and listened to their gossip the whole time.
The main thing is that she hasn't even finished recognizing herself, so just listen to her gossip!
Not to mention, all the sisters-in-law in the Lu family are experts in gossip, and their gossip is so fascinating that Yu Jiajia was even brought in.
Not only did he empty the teacup in his hand, he also ate a lot of the melon seeds and peanuts next to it.
Eating snacks and listening to gossip at the same time is a perfect match.
"Hey, have you heard? There's a commotion in the neighboring village again."
"Ah, why are you still making a fuss? Isn't it all over?"
"How can this be over? The woman's family came directly and beat up the family, and threatened that this matter will not end unless they give them an explanation."
"This place is great, but this mother's house is also OK."
Yu Jiajia saw many of her cousins’ wives showing envy on their faces, and her heart was moved.
We had a very filling meal at the welcoming banquet that day.
In addition to authentic farm dishes, there were also many meat dishes they brought back. When it was time to eat, she knew how many people were in the Lu family.
There were five tables filled with people of all ages, big and small.
There were dozens of people there.
Fortunately, the Lu family shared it, otherwise I would be exhausted every time I cooked like this.
Only after seeing off the two families did they get a break.
The two elders had gone to rest a long time ago. Mother Lu was also very tired, so she patted her waist and asked them to rest.
Because of Grandpa Lu, the house was built into two floors, with the first floor used to store things and entertain guests, and the second floor for living.
The Chinese courtyard structure makes the room layout symmetrical. The best place is reserved for the two foreigners, and the rest of the things on both sides belong to the two sons. Grandma Lu usually likes quietness, so they can be more comfortable if they separate.
After saying this, Mother Lu went to rest, while Lu Yaoyao took her sister-in-law to her brother's room.
"Sister-in-law, please go in and rest. See if you need anything. I'm in the back room. You can come find me."
Yu Jiajia nodded and pushed open the door curiously.
She was originally planning to make some preparations, but was stunned. Although the room was not as comfortable as home.
But it was extremely clean and tidy, with the wooden window on one side open.
The afternoon sun filtered through, allowing her to see the Tyndall effect.
She suddenly felt very happy, especially when she saw the continuous mountains outside.
There is a wooden cabinet as soon as you enter the door, with a teapot and cups on it. Inside is a wooden table, which seems to be used for office work, and further inside is a wooden bed.
She looked around the room almost immediately; it was too shabby.
However, after thinking about it, she understood that it must be Lu Junhua's fault.
Just as I was thinking about it, someone knocked on the door.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law."
The sound was neither loud nor soft, coming through the wooden door.
Yu Jiajia touched the bedding, it was not damp but had a smell from being exposed to the sun.
She nodded and went to open the rest of the windows.
Then he turned and opened the door.
"Oh, sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you with your rest. I just remembered that you were coming to stay here. Your room may not have enough things. We don't know what to do, so we'll just bring some for you."
Yu Jiajia smiled shyly, probably knowing who she was, called her sister-in-law, and then looked at what she was in her hand.
Seeing this, the sister-in-law hurriedly said, "I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the first house, you can just call me the eldest sister-in-law. This is the stove, you can use it to warm yourself up. Put some firewood in it to keep warm."
Yu Jiajia took a look and saw that it was used for warming oneself by the fire.
She thought about it, called her eldest sister-in-law, and smiled as she asked her to come in and sit down.
The eldest cousin's wife smiled more sincerely, and when she saw the sister-in-law in front of her, a flash of envy flashed through her heart.
Look at other people who are also married and don’t have to work in the fields. She feels embarrassed standing next to her.
"No, no, I have to go home. You take it. The firewood is in the woodroom at the back. Just be careful when you use it." After saying that, he put down the things and left.
Yu Jiajia tried to stop her but failed. She chased her to the door and watched her walk away.
He stood there and watched for a long time before closing the door.
Back in the room, she tried to make a fire properly, and it took her a long time to light the wood.
At this time, Yu Jiajia discovered that there was a special place for it in the room.
I saw a round hole on the ground not far from the window, surrounded by cement paint.
She didn't notice it at first because it was blocked by the stool.
This time when I moved it open, I saw that it really fits.
This afternoon, she sat on a bench, warming herself by the fire, looking outside.
In the next city, one county away from her, a midnight murderer appeared.
Yes, this name was spread by everyone.
Ever since the incident of Li the Butcher was exposed, their city and county were shaken, and no one in their county even dared to go out after 8 o'clock in the evening.
Since the beginning of this year, the mountain city has changed a lot.
With the start of the Shancheng economic system reform plan issued by the central government at the beginning of the year, Shancheng City's policies have been intentionally or unintentionally delegating power.
The economy was decentralized in terms of policies, slogans, and means. The people were not stupid. No one stopped hawkers buying things on the street. Gradually, small stalls and markets appeared one after another. Until the case occurred, there were night markets in this county for everyone to visit.
However, because of this incident, the county's budding economy once again fell into decline.
But just as the county police were searching for the suspect overnight, a murder occurred again!
The case developed one county away from them.
