Thinking like this, Gou'er looked at his father and asked: "Dad, uncle Fugui is crying so sadly, why don't you comfort him?"

His father:...

He didn’t expect that his cousin would suddenly cry like this, and even lead others to cry too.

How can I be comforted by this?

He subconsciously looked at He Jiuniang. He Jiuniang pretended not to hear anything and silently gnawed on the chicken drumstick in her hand.

If it was Lu Baichuan who was crying in tears now, she would probably drag him back immediately.

But now it was Lu Fugui who was crying like this, and there was no mistress in the house to make the decision, so naturally no one could hold him back.

"Then let him cry for a while. When a person is sad, it will be very uncomfortable if he doesn't cry."

Seeing that his wife ignored him, Lu Baichuan could only act nonsense. Lilie.

They are all grown men, and he has no experience in persuading people to cry.

The dog tilted his head and thought for a while, feeling that what his father said made sense.

If you want to cry but can’t, it might really upset you, so let your rich uncle cry for a while.

Lu Xiaoyang kept his head down and said nothing the whole time. He still felt that the reason why everyone was so sad was all caused by himself, but no one present blamed him, which made him blame himself even more.

Mrs. Sun felt that this was not good. The weather was already cold. If she cried like this for a while, the food would be cold and she would get sick from eating. Wouldn’t she have to suffer again?

She stood up immediately and said: "Okay, okay, why are you still crying! Today I will open an ancestral hall and set up memorial tablets for our ancestors. That is a good thing. Everyone must smile at me. , there is nothing to cry about!”

Sun and Old Man Lu are now considered the oldest elders in the Lu family, and they still have a lot of say. As soon as she opened her mouth, Lu Fugui immediately became confused. Dare to speak out.

He also knew that today was a happy event, but he just couldn't control his emotions.

His son is still young. Sometimes he goes out to work and is worried about his son being alone at home. He often takes his son with him, but it is inconvenient to do things with his son.

Whenever this time, he would think about how great it would be if the child’s mother was still alive, how great it would be if his parents were still alive, and their whole family would get together, with the male leading the household and the female. How great would it be if the Lord's house was as happy and harmonious as the third uncle's house?

But all that was his fantasy. All his family members were gone, and not even their bones could be found.

“Hug, sorry...”

He took a breathNose, wiped a handful of tears, raised the wine glass on the table, and drank another sip of strong wine.

"Daddy, don't cry, I will always be with you!"

His son Xiao Chengzi suddenly handed over a small handkerchief and awkwardly put it on his face Wipe away tears.

Xiao Chengzi is still younger than a dog, but he is also a sensible child. He knows that it is not easy for his father to take care of him. He is usually very well-behaved. When his father goes to work, he can stay where his father works. Sit there all day without crying or fussing or distracting daddy.

Seeing that his son was so sensible, Lu Fugui couldn't help but held his son in his arms and burst into tears again.

Those who finally stopped, their eyes became wet again when they saw the interaction between father and son.

Mrs. Sun: ...

Lu Xiaoyang got up, ran back to his room, and took something out from under the pillow.

Walked up to Xiao Chengzi and said, "Don't be sad, Chengzi. Let's see what gift my brother brought you when he came back this time."

As he said that, he spread his hands Open it, and a safety lock made of jade is displayed in front of the little guy.

The little guy was stunned and didn't reach out for it for a while.

Lu Xiaoyang explained: "This is a safety lock I bought with my own savings. Wearing it on my body can keep me safe."

The little guy turned his head and looked at his father. He glanced at Lu Fugui and asked what he meant. Lu Fugui nodded and said, "If you like the gift my brother gave you, accept it."

The little guy then turned his head, Tiantian He smiled and said: "Thank you, brother!"

Lu Xiaoyang put the safety lock on the little guy's neck, rubbed his head and said: "Chengzi is so good, I will bring it to you next time I come back." Gifts."

"Don't waste money all the time. You are not young anymore. It's time to plan for yourself. It's time to start a family in a few years."

"Being like this to Lu Xiaoban Once interrupted, Lu Fugui stopped crying and began to educate Lu Xiaoyang.

Lu Xiaoyang was a little embarrassed and said, "It's still early to start a family!"

He still had to atone for what he had done before, so he couldn't get married so soon. I don’t want to find a girl to redeem my sins with me.

A man in the Lu family must love his wife. He must be responsible and cannot harm other girls like this.

What's more, the girl he likes now won't like him, and he will be even further away from starting a family.

"Why is it so early? Your parents are gone, and you still have me as your uncle! Anyway, if you have money, keep it for yourself, don't spend it randomly!"

Lu Fugui immediately gave up the idea of ​​crying. After talking for a long time, he realized that everyone was looking at him. He also thought about how he had just kept howling. He was really embarrassed and his expression was a little embarrassing.

　“Okay, okay, let’s eat quickly, the food will be cold in a while! ”

Old man Lu waved his hand and took the lead in eating.

After such an episode, Lu Fugui did not plan to drink anymore, for fear that he would get drunk after drinking too much and would not be able to control it. I felt like crying.

Lu Baichuan then spoke to Lu Fugui while eating: "Cousin, Xiao Chengzi is not young anymore. If you can't handle it by yourself, why not send him to school? Well, no matter whether I take part in the imperial examination or not, it is always good to know a few more words. Our generation has suffered the consequences of being uneducated, but we cannot allow our children to be uneducated as well. "

Before Lu Fugui could say anything, Cui'er spoke first: "Yes, we ourselves are uneducated. Nowadays, it is really difficult to encounter some things in the workshop, so I also I plan to send my little bamboo to study after the Chinese New Year! It's just a pity that Mr. Kang no longer teaches, and I don't know which school teaches better. "

Mrs. Qin answered: "Oh, isn't this a coincidence? The younger sister of the Zhang family also said that she would send Xiao Liangzi to study after the New Year, so these three children would be able to have a companion! ”

Everyone said this, but Lu Fugui didn’t say anything.

He also wanted his son to study, but he also knew that it was expensive to study, so he could do it according to his current ability. Said, basically it is impossible to send children to school.

The sister of the Zhang family mentioned by Ms. Qin is Ms. Shen. Their family has made money from doing business with the Lu family, so it is not a problem to send their children to school.

Cui'er's family got some money from the bandits' den, and later borrowed some from their third uncle's family. Overall, they don't owe much. Although they live in a thatched house now, they still have some money. His own house.

But he is different. Both father and son met the third uncle’s family in Fucheng, and all the money was borrowed from the third uncle’s family.

During this period of time, he worked hard and managed to repay the debt. The father and son still rented an old dilapidated house in the village.

Next, he also planned to build his own house, not to mention how spacious it would be. , then you have to have your own land, which requires a lot of money to buy land and build a house.

If a child wants to study, in addition to the cost of book repairs, he also needs to be provided with books, paper and pens. He really It’s because I don’t have the ability...
