Fifty-Three. Past
"Uncle, uncle." Big girl Erniu was playing in the yard, and from time to time she grabbed some snacks from her pocket and stuffed it into her mouth. Her clothes were dirty, but when she saw Zheng Shan coming over, she immediately cheered. ran over.
Zheng Shan squatted down quickly, hugged the two little guys in his arms, and wiped the dirty corners of the two little guys' mouths.
"Uncle, eat it." The eldest girl took out a piece of honey from her pocket and stuck it on her dirty little hands.
Zheng Shan smiled bitterly in his heart, but he still opened his mouth to eat one. Er Niu also followed suit, and Zheng Shan was able to open his mouth again.
"My name is Grandpa Lu." Zheng Shan said.
The two little guys let out a sweet cry, which made Uncle Lu suddenly happy.
"Uncle, it's fine, I'll make it up next time." Zheng Shan said with a smile.
It's not a good thing to be polite at this time. Uncle Lu's expression really relaxed a little when he heard the words.
The arrival of Uncle Lu was warmly received by the Zheng family. Even the stingy mother, who was always stingy, killed chickens and ducks without hesitation, and made a lot of beef and mutton.
"Brother, I will live here in the future. There is nothing else in the house. There are many things to do in the house. In the future, let Xiaoshan give you the care of you." Zheng Jianguo said with a big tongue.
After Zheng Jianguo came back, when he saw Uncle Lu, he was also enthusiastic, and he didn't hesitate at all when drinking. Basically, Uncle Lu had a cup, and he did it.
"Don't be so troublesome, I'll just go out and live. Although I'm old, I can still take care of myself." Master Lu didn't drink too much, just a little drunk.
"That doesn't work, how can this work, brother, don't look outside, just treat this as your home." Zheng Jianguo said sternly.
Zhong Huixiu also said, "Yeah, anyway, there are so many houses in the family, and living together is still lively."
Uncle Lu was a little moved by the Zheng family's manipulation, but he still politely refused.
Zheng Jianguo was drinking openly this time, but after just over an hour, he was a little drunk, and his words became more and more frequent.
Zheng Jianguo and Uncle Lu were chatting about things from the previous era. Zheng Jianguo really drank too much and started to sing.
Zheng Shan was a little surprised. Dad seemed to be able to sing very well. He sang some minor tunes. Uncle Lu would also echo a sentence or two from time to time. Not to mention, it was really enjoyable.
"Mom, why didn't I know Dad had this skill?" Zheng Shan said unexpectedly.
Zhong Huixiu looked at her husband with soft eyes, "What do you know? Your dad knows a lot of things, before..."
Talking and talking, Zhong Huixiu fell into memory, thinking about her own affairs, and said no more.
Zheng Shan looked at his mother speechlessly, but did not disturb the sweet memory of his mother.
He didn't know much about his father.
Zheng Shan only knew that his father used to be just a rural child. As for how he came to the city, settled down, and was assigned to a unit, he did not know.
When I was young, I didn't understand what it meant. After all, I was too young to understand the inner truth.
But now that I think about it, there seems to be some story in there.
This story should be inseparable from my mother. After all, Zheng Shan's grandmother and grandfather are in the capital, but their family has basically no connection with the grandfather's family.
Even if it is a New Year's holiday, it is only the parents who go there, and they don't take their children with them. They go in the morning and come back before noon, and they never stay there for dinner.
However, Zheng Shan doesn't care much about these things, and now he can live his own life well.
.............
The next morning when Zheng Shan came together, he saw that Uncle Lu was already busy with his work, sweeping the yard and tidying up some stray things.
"Master, why do you get up so early?" Zheng Shan said with a smile.
"I'm old and sleep lightly, so I just get up in the morning to do more exercise." Master Lu was working while talking.
"Don't be too busy, I'll do it." Zheng Shan said.
But Uncle Lu didn't let him go, and Zheng Shan didn't fight anymore.
After the meal, the mother went to send the two children to school first, and now they are all picked up by the mother.
There used to be no one to pick up and drop off at all, but now it's far away, and my mother can't bear the bus fare every day, so she will pick it up.
Two children, two children, one sits in the front and the other sits in the back, riding on the big carry that Zheng Shan bought for his father.
So the lady's bike was ridden by Dad.
It will be fine after this semester is over. When the fourth child goes to school and the fifth child goes to school alone, Zheng Shan can just buy a bicycle.
Now that the semester is about to end, Zheng Shan is actually thinking about the fourth child.
Although the fourth is only fifteen years old, at this time, it is almost time to start a family and start a business.
In the end, Zheng Shan did not plan to find another job for the fourth child at this time. The auto repair shop is very good.
When the time comes to learn a craft, if you have the craft, when the fourth is the fourth, when Zheng Shan helps, there will also be a direction.
"Master, go out with me?" Zheng Shan invited.
"Where are you going?" Uncle Lu actually wanted to visit the capital again. In the past five years, he has only come back a few times, but every time he has no face to meet those old neighbors and old friends.
Especially in the past two years, he has not come once, and he also wants to take a good look at the current capital.
"Just wander around, it just so happens that you help me too, and I'll buy some shops." Zheng Shan thought about letting Uncle Lu see his financial resources, so that Uncle Lu could live in peace, and don't think about dragging him down.
Uncle Lv's mind, Zheng Shan also understands that others are so old, coupled with their poor health, maybe they will leave at any time.
Staying on Zheng Shan's side, in the eyes of Uncle Lu, is purely to cause trouble to Zheng Shan. He is shameless to do such a thing.
"Buy a shop? What? You want to do business? What do you think you are doing wrong? Do you want to be a self-employed person?" Uncle Lu said with a hatred of iron.
Self-employed?
That is only done by people who have nowhere to go, and there is still a lot of risk. Who knows what the future will be like?
Therefore, Uncle Lu is firmly opposed to Zheng Shan's desire to become a self-employed person. This is not another problem. In fact, it is caused by his vision and confusion about the future.
Of course, the most important thing is the past experience and the current social form.
Zheng Shan knew that this would be the case, so he didn't dare to tell his parents about this, otherwise the whole family would not be peaceful.
Zheng Shan explained: "No, I'm buying some shops. One is for Dayuan's business use, and the other is to wait for the price to rise."
