Chapter 19 The Origin of the Old House



The Lu family, early in the morning, felt refreshed and were waiting to watch He Xiaoyu being paraded through the streets. Cao Guizhi was standing in the kitchen and became angry.

"Oh, the steamed buns and fried dough sticks are delicious, but they are only good for one meal. Today we have something exciting to watch."

Maybe I feel like I can vent all the grievances I've suffered today.

Cao Guizhi also boiled an egg for the first time.

This was a rare moment of generosity from her.

The eggs in the supply and marketing department are 5 yuan each, and you don't need a ticket to buy eggs in the black market.

Many families in the village simply cannot afford to raise hens, although chickens and ducks are not livestock like geese, and each family can raise a few.

However, people are not even able to eat enough at this time, so how can we raise these poultry?

"Come and eat some eggs to celebrate, I'll let you take a bigger bite this time."

Inside the house, He Xiaoxue curled her lips slightly as she looked at the dirty water that she and Xinglin had just washed away, and she opened the door and poured it out.

"Hey, sister-in-law, why are you standing here? Oh, I forgot this is not my home. I'm so sorry."

Cao Guizhi was splashed with dirty water, and her newly-changed red jacket became soaked instantly.

She was so angry that she jumped up and down. "You little brat, I think you did it on purpose! You are just like your sister."

Several people in the room were stunned when they saw this scene.

Especially chatting with He Xiaoxue and Lu Xinglin all night.

The two slept together for two days in a row. Because they were both of the same age, their daily life was equally hard.

The cat was in bed, and the two had endless things to talk about.

Lu Xinglin also told He Xiaoxue about the situation at home.

But I didn't expect that He Xiaoxue, who seemed so weak, would dare to do such a thing.

"Sister-in-law, please don't say that. I really didn't mean it." He Xiaoxue continued with a hint of grievance, "Sister-in-law, Xinglin and I also want to eat eggs."

He Xiaoxue really wanted to disgust Cao Guizhi, but she also really wanted to eat eggs.

She saw Cao Guizhi bullying her elder sister yesterday, and also learned about the family situation from Xiaoxue.

I used to be restrained because I was unfamiliar with the place, couldn't do farm work, and didn't have enough food to eat.

Now that she has found such a capable brother-in-law, her originally rebellious nature has been completely liberated.

"There's just one egg, without any of you! The remaining egg is for my younger brother who is studying!" As she said that, Cao Guizhi handed the egg to Lu Xingkong.

Just as Lu Xingkong took the egg with an embarrassed look on his face, He Xiaoxue directly took Lu's mother's arm:

"My biological mother can't eat it, my biological sister can't eat it, but my wife and my younger brother can eat it. If you know that it's a man marrying a wife, you might think it's marrying into the man's family.

Brother, I'm not saying this to you, if you think you can swallow the egg, then just eat it. ”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingkong was stunned and clenched the egg in his hand. After a moment, he stiffly handed the egg to Lu's mother.

"Mom, this egg is for you to eat."

Mother Lu was worried that her eldest son would be upset if she did this, so she refused to take the responsibility.

He Xiaoxue, who was standing nearby, was quick to take it and pass it to Lu Xinglin, who was holding out her hand. "Auntie, it's okay. Give it to Xinglin. It's only natural for a brother to give to his sister!"

At this time, Lu Xinghe, who had already come out of Yan Laosan's house, touched his chin and looked at He Xiaoxue's appearance in amazement.

In his previous life, Lu Xinghe had seen He Xiaoxue being tenacious and unyielding.

At the beginning of the complaint, he was not afraid even when he was kicked out by the Youth League Office and threatened by Shen Dazhuang's family.

It was just that his body was too weak, and he had been drinking porridge made from oyster shells for several months, so he couldn't speak a few words without suffering from unbearable abdominal pain.

I didn't expect that when He Xiaoxue was in good health, her fighting power would be so strong.

"Brother-in-law, you are here to take us home for dinner!"

Before Cao Guizhi could speak, He Xiaoxue saw Lu Xinghe outside the door, and she took Lu's mother and Xinglin's hands and ran out.

He Xiaoxue hugged Lu Xinghe's arm and raised her neck high, revealing an inch of her neck, which was extremely fair.

She even twisted her body and rubbed Lu Xinghe's arm, acting like a spoiled child!

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that He Xiaoxue was continuing to anger Cao Guizhi.

But Lu Xinghe shrank his neck awkwardly, feeling the pressure.

I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, they are sisters, why is there such a big difference in age?

"Well, go home and eat. I have prepared everything this morning."

"I guessed you were coming soon, so I brought all the leftover fried dough sticks from yesterday. They are so delicious. Xinglin and I secretly ate one this morning, and it became even more delicious after being left overnight."

He Xiaoxue made faces at Cao Guizhi as she spoke.

However, at this time, Cao Guizhi had no time to pay attention to He Xiaoxue. She looked at Lu Xinghe with surprise.

"You...didn't anyone come to see you today?"

Even if she reported it without any evidence, since it involved a serious matter of promiscuous relationships between men and women, Chunhua had to find out the situation.

"What does it have to do with you!" He Xiaoxue completely took advantage of Lu Xingkong's desire. She took out fried dough sticks and eggs, and waved them in front of Cao Guizhi in a show-off manner.

"Okay, let's stop making trouble and go back to eat."

When Lu Xingkong heard this, he immediately thought of the time when he got up early and swept the snow in the yard.

The row of footprints by the window, judging from the size of the shoes, should be a woman's. However, whether it is a man or a woman, they cannot climb into other people's windows at night!

He didn't think much about it at the time, until he heard what Cao Guizhi said.

It seems like I understand something.

He squinted his eyes and looked at Cao Guizhi who was jumping up and down in anger in the room. He curled his lips and looked at his mother beside him.

Although my mother has been caught between Lu Xingkong and me these past two days.

But every time I walk out of the house, I can see my mother's long-lost smiling face.

It can also be seen that the mother also likes this little girl He Xiaoxue.

"Mom, well...if I want, our whole family can move to where Xiaoyu lives.

Is it okay to wait until next spring when the new house is built before moving into the new house? ”

The place where He Xiaoyu lived was the house of the old Ge family, a family that had passed away and had no descendants in the village.

Many elderly people in the village don't mind this aspect.

After all, the older generation doesn't want to be without children at home, and they don't want the family to be extinct.

So no one wants to be contaminated by this kind of bad luck.

"Son, Mom doesn't mind. I'll follow your instructions. Before Lao Ge left, I had the best relationship with your dad.

Besides, your father helped build that house. ”

Mother Lu showed a relieved smile. It had been a long time since anyone asked for her opinion.

“Besides, no matter what house you build, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. The village will not take the house away. It is not useless.

Old Ge gave the house deed to our family more than ten years ago, and there is also a certificate from the village chief on it.

that is. . . Now that it has grown so big and the old village chief has been arrested, I have never dared to take it out. ”

The mother looked at the adobe house not far away and lamented about her deceased friend.

Lu Xinghe listened to this with a look of shock.

Before 1985, there was no such thing as a real estate certificate, only a property deed.

In my previous life, my mother mentioned that she wanted to burn a piece of paper before she died.

Lu Xinghe obediently burned it without even reading what was in it.

At this point he completely understood that the old village chief was arrested because his family members were classified as "seven black categories".

This is a serious crime at this time.

That's why my mother didn't dare to take out the land deed certified by the village chief and kept this secret until her death.

Now seeing him getting married and starting a family, he seems to be becoming more capable.

I told him this because I was worried that he was too tired from making money to build a house.

But this is a great thing for Lu Xinghe.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Lu Xinghe smiled and looked at his mother: "Mom, let's work harder these few days and clean up this house.

After the family moves out, we can keep our house as well, which will be a great opportunity for us to raise chickens and ducks! I'll boil eggs for you every day! ”
