Chapter 92
Grandma Lin, who followed them out, didn’t expect that the second wife was going to buy a house in the county town, but she soon realized that this must be the granddaughter’s idea. The granddaughter’s family already has a house in the county town, and the second wife’s going to the county town to buy a house can help build relationships, which is also a good thing for Lu Ming. As long as Lu Ming doesn’t become bad, he will have a capable sister and brother-in-law, and he won’t have to worry about anything in the future. Look, the granddaughter is now considering buying a house for her brother, so no matter what, siblings are different.
“Do you have enough money to buy a house in the county town?” Grandma Lin asked. The eldest and third sons have borrowed money, and she also knows how much money the second wife can have. If the money is not enough, she, as a mother, can also take it out.
However, as smart as Grandma Lin was, she immediately thought of another thing. If it was her granddaughter who proposed to buy a house in the county, then she also knew that the second son had no money. So since she proposed it, she would definitely lend money to the second son. But the second son also asked the eldest and third sons to borrow money... Grandma Lin's eyes rolled, and she knew the trick in the middle.
Father Lin said: "We have 350 yuan, the eldest brother borrowed 250, the third son borrowed 500, a total of 1100, and we still need 500 yuan. Ask Qingqing and Lu Cheng to borrow." He didn't ask his parents to borrow money. His parents had money for retirement, and he wouldn't think of borrowing. His daughter had money, so he borrowed from his daughter first.
Father Lin also had his own ideas. If he borrowed from his daughter, they would buy a house, and the first and third wives might have other ideas. Although they can buy a house now, the money is borrowed, so the ideas of the first and third bedrooms are different.
Grandma Lin nodded: "Okay, after we buy the house, do you want to move your household registration?"
Father Lin said: "We have discussed it and will move my wife and Lu Ming's household registration. This way, she can get commercial grain every month, as well as meat coupons, cloth coupons, soap coupons and many other tickets. In the future, the meat coupons she gets every month can be used to buy meat for my parents to replenish their health. But my wife will not live in the county town. She will work at home. The work points are recorded in mother's account. At that time, our second branch will give mother food every month as a filial tribute."
Grandma Lin heard it and said: "Each of you will get 50 kilograms of food per household per year. I will return the extra food from the second family's work points to you in time. As for the money exchanged for work points, I will also return it to you at the end of each year." She did not take advantage of the second branch. "You don't have to refuse, treat them all equally."
Father Lin didn't say anything when he saw Grandma Lin said this: "Then listen to mother."
Lin said softly: "Lu Cheng, there is nothing to do in the afternoon, why don't you take your father to see the house we saw this morning, if Dad likes it, we can decide first."
Lu Cheng said: "Well, it depends on what Dad thinks, I have no objection."
Mother Lin said: "Boss, you go with Lu Cheng."
Father Lin certainly had no objection: "Then I listen to you."
Then, Lu Cheng took his father Lin on a bicycle to the county town to look at houses. The other members of the Lin family also went to work one after another, but Lin Aojun and Su Fen did not go to work because it was the first day after their marriage. At this time, the two were talking about what happened today in the house.
"Brother Aojun, it's my fault. I came up with this bad idea, and it caused grandma and the others to have opinions about brother Aojun." Su Fen really felt sorry for Lin Aojun, but she didn't regret it. If she didn't do this, could she marry Lin Aojun? But she also remembered Grandma Lin's warning. Now that she has married Lin Aojun, as long as she lives a good life with Lin Aojun, her life will definitely be better than working hard alone in the educated youth dormitory.
Although Lin Aojun was also sad that he had disappointed his family, he was also somewhat satisfied thinking that he had married Su Fen. "It's okay, we will be filial to them in the future."
Su Fen leaned into his arms: "Yes, we will be filial to them in the future."
Everyone was busy, and Lin Aojun and Su Fen were embarrassed to come out, so there were only Grandpa Lin, Grandma Lin and Lin Qingqing in the yard, and the three of them sat in the yard chatting.
It was almost time for dinner, and Father Lin and Lu Cheng came back. As soon as he came back, Father Lin talked about buying a house. Lu Cheng had seen these houses in the morning, so when they went to see them in the afternoon, they didn't need Du Wei to take them, Lu Cheng knew where the location was by himself.
Father Lin is a man who doesn't waste time, or rather, he doesn't like to come to the county town again and again to look at houses, so after seeing the house that Lu Cheng took him to see, he immediately decided on it, without even considering the location. He only saw that the house was closest to Lin Qingqing's home, and he made his choice.
When work was over, Mother Lin came back and was very happy to learn about the house. Because starting tomorrow, she would be a resident of the county town. So
the next day, Mother Lin took a leave and went to the county town to handle the formalities.
Another two days later, Lin Qingqing and Lu Cheng's home in the county town was ready. The yard was not big, with a total of four rooms, but the independent house had a small yard, which looked quite large, so Lin Qingqing was very satisfied.
Moreover, this courtyard has a different meaning. To Lin Qingqing, this is her real home, so she is not only satisfied, but also very happy.
Now that they have a home, Lu Cheng and Lin Qingqing's wedding banquet is also on the agenda.
The wedding banquet was held at the Lin family. On the day of the wedding banquet, the Lin family was very lively, which was completely different from the scene when Lin Aojun got married. However, no one in the Lin family thought it was strange, because the status of granddaughters in the Lin family has always been different.
The most lively thing was when Lu Cheng came to pick up the bride. He came on a bicycle with a red cloth tied to it. Lu Cheng also brought another bicycle tied with red cloth and pushed it in front of Lin Qingqing: "Qingqing, I'm here to take you home."
Lin Qingqing smiled brightly at her, then rode the bicycle: "I'll go home with you."
The two rode the bicycle out of the Lin family together.
Lu Haici shouted from behind: "Mom and Dad, when are you coming back?"
Lin Luming: "They definitely won't come back."
Lu Haici was puzzled: "Why not come back? Aren't they coming back for dinner?"
Lin Luming said: "The bride went to the groom's house and will have a wedding night at night, so they won't come back."
"Bridal chamber?" Lu Haici's eyes lit up, "That's great, I really want brothers and sisters."
Lin Luming blinked: "Why do you like brothers and sisters?" There are many brothers in their family, so he is not obsessed with brothers and sisters.
Lu Haici: "I like brothers and sisters who can play with me. I can also take them to play, take them to play football, teach them to read and write, and tell them stories. If I have brothers and sisters, my uncle will have other nephews and nieces."
Lin Luming said: "If it is a nephew or niece born by my sister, I will definitely like it. No, no, no... I mean, I like you very much too."
Lu Haici is not a glass-hearted person. In the past three years, he was brought up by Lin Qingqing. He knows how good his mother is to him, so he will not be sad because of what others say. Children who grow up in a happy environment are born with a cheerful and confident heart and will not be easily hurt. "I know." Lu Haici laughed heartlessly.
Seeing that Lu Haici didn't cry, Lin Luming breathed a sigh of relief: "Come on, let's go eat. Grandpa and grandma made a lot of delicious food today."
Lu Haici followed: "It's ready."
Aunt Lu Cheng was very pleased to see Lu Haici and Lin Luming getting along. She said to her husband beside her: "Lu Cheng's marriage is perfect. It's his blessing that Lu Cheng can marry Qingqing."
Uncle Lu Cheng is an honest man. When he pursued Aunt Lu Cheng, he used up all his courage in his life. Otherwise, how could a country boy marry a lady like Aunt Lu Cheng? Aunt Lu Cheng was moved by his sincerity and honesty, so she chose a marriage that was not suitable for him.
Facts have proved that her choice was not wrong. Although her husband's family was a little poor, she had been married to him for more than 20 years and had never been bullied. Also because of her good conditions, her in-laws were very good to her. Even though she knew that her in-laws were good to her because of money, she was willing to be treated well and politely for the sake of money. What is money for? Money can buy happiness, which is the basis of money's value.
"Yeah." Uncle Lu Cheng nodded.
The Lin family yard was very lively. Lin Qingqing and Lu Cheng had already left the Gaoshanao Production Brigade on bicycles. The two rode bicycles and crossed the country roads. They rode slowly, side by side.
"Lu Cheng, we have to hurry up, otherwise after we get to the county town, we won't be able to catch up with lunch when we come back." Lin Qingqing said.
Lu Cheng: "Okay, then you hurry up."
Lin Qingqing increased the speed and rode in front, while Lu Cheng rode behind.
After the two arrived at the county town, they went back home and started riding bicycles from the county town back to Gaoshanao.
Lu Haici was surprised to see his parents come back. He ran over and asked, "Mom and Dad, why are you back?"
Lin Qingqing said, "We came back for lunch? What's the matter?"
Lu Haici didn't understand, "But my uncle said that you will have the wedding night after you go back and won't come back."
Lin Qingqing immediately looked at Lin Luming. Lin Luming felt a chill on his neck. He didn't expect his sister and brother-in-law to come back. Lin Luming stared at his sister's warning eyes and explained, "I... I've drunk wedding wine. After the bride and groom leave, they won't come back. They have the wedding night at night. It's always like this."
Lin Qingqing tapped Lin Luming's forehead, "Go have your meal. Children shouldn't worry about adult matters." How could she say this?
Lu Cheng heard what they said, smiled, and then whispered in her ear: "We will have the wedding night tonight?"
Lin Qingqing rolled her eyes, then reached out and pinched his waist hard. Even if she couldn't pinch the flesh, it would be fine to pinch the skin.
After lunch, Lu Cheng, Lin Qingqing, and Lu Cheng's aunt's family returned to the county town. The Lin family went to work in the afternoon, but Lu Haici didn't want to go back to the county town. He had been running around the mountains with Lin Luming these two days, or playing football with other boys in the production team. There was no place to play in the county town, so he liked the countryside more.
Lin Qingqing let him do what he wanted. Lin Luming grew up in Gaoshanao, which was also the "old nest" of the Lin family, so Lin Qingqing didn't worry about him.
Lin Qingqing and Lu Cheng didn't have much vacation time, only half a month, and it took six days to go back and forth. It took four days to buy and modify the house, and another day to get married, so the remaining three or four days, the two stayed at home in the county town. The two were like a couple in love. During these days, they visited many places in the county town, department stores during the day, parks at night, and movie theaters.
Because there was no Lu Hai in the middle, they just wandered around, and Lu Cheng was in a particularly good mood.
However, the happy time was short-lived, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for them to leave. The day before leaving, Lin Qingqing and Lu Cheng went to Gaoshan'ao Production Brigade to pick up Lu Haici. Lu Haici suddenly asked: "Mom and Dad, can we take our uncle to play in the army? It's summer vacation now, and our uncle doesn't have to go to school. Let's take him to play." He had so much fun that he didn't want to leave Gaoshan'ao Production Brigade.
"This..." Lin Qingqing didn't have any objection. Although she was not the original owner, she didn't think about avoiding the Lin family. She took over the original owner's body, which was equivalent to accepting her kindness, and this friendship would eventually be held by her relatives. Among her relatives, parents are the first, and her younger brother and grandparents are the second. "If your uncle goes back with us, we won't have time to send him back when the holiday is over."
Lu Cheng said, "How about this, let's just let your parents-in-law go to the army and live with us for a few days?"
Father Lin hurriedly said, "I can't, I have to go to work tomorrow."
Mother Lin's eyes lit up: "I can go." She has a county hukou and doesn't have to go to work.
Aunt Lin also hurriedly asked, "Can I go? I also want to see Yiyang and the others."
Wang Qiuyue said, "Mom can live in our house when she goes. Yiyang and I live in the army farm. There is an empty room for mom to live in." The
Lin family's eldest house was also divided, and Aunt Lin and Uncle Lin lived together, so she was also very free. If she went to work, Uncle Lin would be the only one at home, and he could eat no matter where he went.
Lin Qingqing said: "Why don't you let grandpa and grandma go together? We can come back together and feel more at ease with more people."
Grandpa Lin said: "I won't go. You can take your grandma and let her go out to play."
"I don't want to go out to play. It's not like I haven't gone out to play when I was young. The eldest and his wife, the second and his wife, the third and his wife, you can all go out to see the world." Go out and see, only then can you know the outside world. Grandma Lin didn't object to them going out.
This...
Everyone didn't expect Grandma Lin to say this, and they were all shocked.
"We still won't go." Aunt Lin said.
Father Lin said: "I won't go either, you go, wife." He also lived a good life in the Lin family, so he had no interest in the outside world.
Mother Lin was interested: "Okay, okay, I'll go."
Uncle Lin said: "I won't go either. If my wife wants to go, she can go."
Aunt Lin wanted to go, of course. She hadn't seen her eldest son for a long time and she missed him very much.
Grandma Lin said: "Then the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law should go. When you come back together, you can also keep each other company."
So, after several discussions, the Lin family decided that three people would go to the army, Aunt Lin, Mother Lin and Lin Luming.
The next day, Lin Qingqing and Lu Cheng led everyone to set off. It was
the first time for Aunt Lin, Mother Lin and Lin Luming to take a train. They were so excited on the train. Even when they arrived at the army, Aunt Lin and Mother Lin had a very happy time on the farm. But the happiness was short-lived. They stayed in the army farm for three days and then went back.
After the Lin family went back, the situation in the army became increasingly tense. With more and more people being transferred down, the ten-year difficult period officially began. The beginning of the ten-year difficult period also meant unrest in various places. But this matter did not affect Lin Qingqing and Lu Cheng.
On this day, the three members of the Lu family were having dinner at home, and Political Commissar Qu suddenly came. "Lu Cheng, come out for a moment, I have something to talk to you about."
Hearing the voice, Lu Cheng and Lin Qingqing walked out together. It was not only Political Commissar Qu who came, but also other military officers that Lu Cheng and Lin Qingqing knew.
This situation? Lin Qingqing was a little surprised.
Lu Cheng was also surprised: "Is there a sudden mission?" He saw that Political Commissar Qu and others looked unhappy, and realized that something had happened. What he thought of that could make them look like this was the mission.
Political Commissar Qu's expression was indeed very serious. He said, "Someone sent us a letter of denunciation, and it was you who was denounced, so you will have to bear with it for a while."
As soon as Political Commissar Qu said this, Lin Qingqing and Lu Cheng's expressions became strange. Lin Qingqing looked at Lu Cheng nervously. She knew what the letter of denunciation meant. Although she had not experienced these ten years, she had learned about them from various sources. Once someone was denounced, the outcome would probably not be good.
Lu Cheng held Lin Qingqing's hand: "Don't be afraid, I will go with them, nothing will happen."
Lin Qingqing asked Political Commissar Qu: "Political Commissar Qu, can you tell me who reported Lu Cheng? What is the reason for reporting Lu Cheng?"
Political Commissar Qu said: "Sorry,
I can't tell you." "Don't make it difficult for Political Commissar Qu, I will be fine." Lu Cheng said, "Go back and have dinner."
Lin Qingqing wanted to say something, but she also knew that the army has its own rules, and all she could do was wait. She didn't even know who reported it now, what could she do? However, in order not to let Lu Cheng worry about her, she could only say: "Well, then I will wait for you at home."
Lu Cheng: "Okay... Political Commissar Qu, I will go with you." Then, he turned and left.
Lin Qingqing watched Lu Cheng being taken away by them, and her smile gradually stiffened. Then, she went into the house. There was also a little boy named Lu Haici at home. She couldn't let Lu Haici worry, so she forced a smile.
Seeing her mother coming in but not her father, Lu Haici asked, "Mom, where is Dad?"
Lin said softly, "Your dad went out on an emergency mission."
Lu Haici didn't react much when he heard it. Lu Haici grew up in the army and had seen his father or other uncles in the army go on missions. So he didn't care much about his father going on a mission. "Then mom, should we prepare a lunch box for dad? Dad can take it with him on the road."
Lin Qingqing was confused just now, but when Lu Haici said that, she came back to her senses: "Yes, yes, your dad hasn't eaten much just now, I'll go prepare food for him now."
"I'll light the fire for mom." Lu Haici had almost finished eating.
Lin Qingqing said: "Then you go and boil some hot water first, and call me when the water boils. I'll eat first."
Lu Haici: "Okay."
Lin Qingqing ate the meal quickly, and then gave Lu Cheng some vegetable egg noodles. After making the noodles, she said to Lu Haici: "Haici, I'll take food to your father, you take a shower and go to bed."
Lu Haici: "I know."
Lin Qingqing took the noodles and immediately went to the home of the chief of staff of the independent regiment, but the chief of staff's wife told her that the chief of staff had gone to the army and had not returned yet. So Lin Qingqing went to the army building again, and she found the chief of staff in the office. The chief of staff was also worried about what happened to Lu Cheng, but because of his relationship with Lu Cheng, he could not participate in this inquiry, so he could only wait in the office worriedly. Seeing Lin Qingqing coming, the chief of staff said, "Comrade Lin is here? I will ask about Lu Cheng's affairs, don't worry."
Lin Qingqing said, "Thank you, chief of staff. By the way, chief of staff, Lu Cheng hadn't eaten dinner when he left. This is the noodles I made for him. Can you help me deliver it to him?"
The chief of staff said, "I was just worrying about how to find a reason. No problem, I will deliver it to him now. You... you wait for me outside." In his office, no one else is allowed to be in when he is not there. There are confidential things in the office.
Lin Qingqing naturally knew this: "Yes."
Lin Qingqing waited outside, and the staff officer took the noodles to find Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng was in the interrogation room at the moment.
Political Commissar Qu: "Comrade Lu Cheng, we received a report letter. The identity of the report is questionable. Your father is..."
Lu Cheng was a little surprised when he heard what Political Commissar Qu said. He never thought that he was reported because of this matter: "My father is called..." Lu Cheng recounted what happened 22 years ago. "At that time, Zhang Shilin and my mother's divorce was published in the newspaper. The newspaper also clarified that my father and I had severed our father-son relationship. I still have the newspaper at that time." Speaking of it, it was thanks to the customs at that time that many big families would publish their divorces in the newspaper. Moreover, because of the incident of Lu Haici's grandmother, her mother hated the Zhang family very much at that time, so when they divorced, it was clearly published in the newspaper, and at the same time, the fact that he and Zhang Shilin had severed their father-son relationship was also published in the newspaper.
Political Commissar Qu was worried about Lu Cheng. After all, the couple divorced, but he couldn't explain his son's affairs. Lu Cheng said that if he and Zhang Shilin broke up, would it be considered a divorce? But if Lu Cheng had the newspapers from that year, it would be different. "Where are the newspapers?"
Lu Cheng: "The newspapers are in the family courtyard." After his mother died, he packed up all her relics and took them to his aunt's house. Later, he graduated from the military academy and was assigned to the army. Because he was not married, he had no family housing until he got married and could apply for family housing. After he applied, he packed up his things from his aunt's house and took them back to the army. He was also glad that these things were now in the army. If they were in his hometown, he would have to go back to get them.
Political Commissar Qu discussed with several leaders, then stood up and said, "Then I'll go get it. Does Comrade Lin know where it is?"
Lu Cheng: "She knows."
