"Mom, we all know that this job is not easy to come by, so we will work hard every day and will not embarrass my little sister." Lu Qinglin heard his mother's words and quickly expressed his position, fearing that if he was late, his mother would say

"Yes, mother, we will all work hard in the future. You know, all the city people want to go to our countryside. Besides, it's rare for us countryside people to come to the city. Those who don't work hard are fools." After his second brother finished speaking, Lu Qingshan sat aside and echoed.

"Just know it, work hard in the future. If you embarrass your little sister, I will break your legs and send you back home, so that no one will care about you in the future." Father Lu saw his wife nagging him endlessly, so he said a few harsh words, then looked at his wife and said: "Go get the bowls and chopsticks, go out after dinner to see if there is anything else to buy, and don't worry about it when you go back tomorrow."

When Mother Lu heard the old man say this, she knew that he didn't want her nagging anymore.

She didn't care and turned to go to the kitchen to get dishes and chopsticks, and told the children to wash their hands and prepare to eat.

When Father Lu saw that his wife had gone to the kitchen and only his two sons and daughter were left in the yard, he whispered, "I don't know what the third son did when you went back this time, but don't tell your mother about it, so that she won't get angry again and get sick. Did you hear me?"

"Got it, don't worry, Dad. We won't tell anyone." When Lu Qingyan and the others heard what her father said, they nodded and agreed.

Then Lu Qingshan sat next to his father and whispered everything that the third brother had done. He looked at his father and said, "I don't know if the third brother will come to the city to find us in the future. Don't come over when the time comes and cause trouble, and embarrass my younger sister and brother-in-law."

"Then I will write a letter to your uncle and ask him not to give the third son a letter of introduction. That way, he won't be able to come to the city." Father Lu was afraid that his eldest son's words would come true, so he went to the post office to write a letter.

Fortunately, everyone in the Lu family, young and old, can read and write, otherwise he would have to trouble his daughter.

As for why the Lu family could read and write, it was because when their grandfather was a landlord, he let them all go to school.

Later, when it came to his father's generation, the family was divided, and gradually they became addicted to gambling and smoking opium, and all the family wealth was squandered.

That's why their generation has become so miserable.

Otherwise, he would not have been classified as a poor peasant by now when the villagers unanimously concealed the truth.

Let them have the quiet and beautiful life they have now.

Forget it, it’s all in the past, just a passing cloud, don’t think about it anymore.

Father Lu came to the door of the post office, shook his head, and shook out all the emotions that suddenly popped up in his head. Then he walked into the post office to mail a letter to his cousin.

When Lu's father left, Lu's mother came out with her bowl and chopsticks. Seeing that her father was not in the yard, she asked her daughter, "Where is your father? It's already dinner time, what is he doing now?"

"I don't know either. Let's wait. I think they'll be back soon." When Lu Qingyan heard her mother asking her, she lied and said she didn't know.

"Okay, then let's wait for him. Anyway, there's no rush to eat at noon." Hearing this, Mother Lu nodded, sent the dishes and chopsticks to the main room, then came out and sat on the bench, waiting for her old man to come back.

Only after Mr. Lu came back did everyone go into the main room to eat.

After dinner, Lu Qingshan looked at his parents and said, "Mom and Dad, when I came back just now, Xiaofang and I discussed that after paying the monthly expenses, I will give you two 5 yuan each as your retirement allowance."

After Lu Qingshan finished speaking, he looked at his younger sister and said, "Little sister, your sister-in-law and I have discussed this. We will give you 5 yuan a month as a favor for helping us find jobs. Don't refuse. If you didn't find us jobs, we would still be working in the brigade every day."

Section 118

Father and Mother Lu were very pleased when they saw their eldest son's sincere expression.

But they couldn't refuse this and could only listen to what his daughter said.

"Brother, sister-in-law, no need. Just now, my second brother and sister-in-law also offered me money, but I didn't take it. I won't take it from you either. Don't mention it in the future. As long as you work hard in the future, it will be better than anything else." After hearing what her eldest brother said, Lu Qingyan raised her eyebrows and shook her head to refuse.

"Yes, you should work hard in the future and don't embarrass your younger sister. That's better than anything else. As for the pension, we agree." When Father Lu saw his daughter refuse, he said with a look of relief: "Just now, the second brother also said that he would give me and your mother pension every month in the future, and we agreed. Now that I see that you brothers are so united, your mother and I will be happy even if we don't want the money."

"Dad, we will work hard to earn money and save money to have a home in this city as soon as possible. Then you and mom can come and stay with us from time to time. But if you want us to take care of you in your old age, we will not refuse and will agree with both hands raised." Seeing that his father had said so, Lu Qingshan no longer mentioned giving money to his younger sister.

But he still said to Lu Qingyan sincerely: "Little sister, no matter what, you can get us to the city, which is the greatest favor to us. Don't worry, if there is anything in your family in the future, just tell us, we can do what we can."

"Okay, big brother, I'll remember this. If there's anything wrong with my family in the future, just come to you." Lu Qingyan nodded solemnly and said

But I felt very warm in my heart. After all, my efforts were rewarded and it didn't make her feel disappointed, which was very good.

"Little sister, my eldest brother has said all the good and bad things, so I won't say anything else. I'll just say the same thing. From now on, as long as you ask, you can take whatever you want from my second brother's house. Your second sister-in-law and I will never say no." Lu Qinglin looked at his eldest brother, who had said everything he wanted to say. He could only rack his brains and say

"Yes, yes, yes, what your second brother said is what I said. From now on, everything in my house belongs to my younger sister. If you need anything, just come and get it. If you don't have it, tell my second sister-in-law and she will buy it for you." After her husband finished speaking, Zhao Xiaohua quickly followed suit.

"Okay, I know everything. I've taken your words to heart. If I have any problems in the future, I'll come to you." Lu Qingyan was really happy for such a good elder brother, second brother, and second sister-in-law.

If this family and this family relationship remain unchanged in the future, I will do my best to help them live a better life.
