146. Monkey Ticket

Thinking of Lu Jinke and Lu Jinhao, Lu Yun's mind extended a lot in an instant.

Back then, the two brothers, who were spoiled by their parents and severely disciplined by their grandparents, did not grow crooked. Most people thought it was their grandfather and grandma's credit. Even they themselves, Lu Aibing and Zhang Cai agreed.

But Lu Yun privately thought that Lu Jinke and Lu Jinhao were actually more like fathers because of their nature, they were both affectionate and grateful.

That's why she thinks highly of them, and devotes a lot of energy to them. It's a pity that she left too suddenly in her previous life, and she was reborn inexplicably before she took out a few simple recipes that she planned to keep for the two of them.

Alas, the most profitable businesses without those recipes are doomed to be lost. But fortunately, she was involved in a wide range of industries back then, and the profitability was still good. The operation of the group company does not depend on those incomes to support it.

Even wills and equity certificates were not directly stored in the space for precaution, but were entrusted to lawyers to keep them early.

So as long as the brothers Lu Jinke and Lu Jinhao work together, it will not be difficult to overcome the difficulties. Moreover, these are just to sharpen them. If you can get through the past safely, the road ahead will definitely be more open. If they can't make it through, they are still young and have the capital to start over. Even if they are in a downturn, with the large amount of insurance she bought them early in the morning, it will not be a problem to be a rich family.

"Then it's over."

Seeing that Lu Yun's expression was constantly changing, Shi Shi knew that she had thought of going elsewhere, and he was not in a hurry. She will naturally tell him what she is willing to say, and if she doesn't want to say it, he will never try to force her again as he did when we first met.

"It's me who thinks too much, and they all say that if you care, it makes sense. It really makes sense."

Lu Yun laughed and laughed at herself. What a wise old man, grandpa and grandma, their life wisdom is far higher than hers. "One old man in a family is like a treasure" is an old man like them.

In the face of such an old man, her worries are really unnecessary.

Besides, my grandparents are wise, and my mother is not bad either. Dad himself is not the kind of man who has no idea. Lu Yun's heart finally let go.

Without this scruple, Lu Yun's mentality immediately calmed down. It's almost New Year's Eve, and by the beginning of February, she will start selling vegetables and return to her hometown after earning a fortune. After 1980, the crackdown seems to be in 1982, right? But that doesn't seem to have anything to do with them.

In 80 years, what did she seem to forget?

Lu Yun thought hard and couldn't remember what she had forgotten.

Until breakfast the next morning, when the mother and aunt at the dinner table were talking about the younger brother she was thinking about, the aunt smiled and said, "Whether it's a boy or a girl, it's a little monkey anyway. "

Monkey--

how did she forget the monkey ticket?

Lu Yun patted her head. Isn't 1980 the time when the first zodiac "Monkey Ticket", known as the "myth in the history of stamp collecting", was issued? Everyone on earth knows that at this time, there are 80 full-page 8 cents each, and the monkey ticket, which is only 6.4 yuan in total, will be much exaggerated later.

"Auntie is right, Mom, why don't we buy more monkey tickets and put them away, it's too valuable for memorabilia." Lu Yun suggested enthusiastically.

"What is a monkey ticket?" Everyone was at a loss.

"Stamps. This year is not the Year of the Monkey? Of course, the stamps for the Year of the Monkey are called monkey tickets. Shitou Don't forget to buy from the post office."

Lu Yun stuck out her tongue, why did she accidentally call out the monkey tickets. Turning her head, she kindly suggested to everyone, "This year will definitely be a good day, why don't everyone buy a version of monkey tickets and collect them. If you want to buy them, buy a full version of 80 stamps, which are big and look different. Comfortable and festive."

"How much?" Shishi asked.

"Whatever you want, you can buy as many as you want. But it needs to be a complete page. Don't fold the edges. It's better to buy this stamp album and put it away. If you have other stamps, buy a few and put them in." Lu Yun replied. I have no interest in philately, but I don't know anything about it. If it weren't for the fact that the monkey ticket was too famous, she wouldn't be able to remember it.

"Okay." The stone should come down with a mouthful.

"Monkey ticket, it sounds really festive." Xia Yuan did not object.

"It's enough to buy a few of them. There are so many 80? When will the letters be sent before they are used up?" Lu Aijiao was a little disapproving.

"That's right, I can't eat it." Wu Tan was also a little reluctant to spend the extra six yuan to buy 80 stamps just for celebration, so he strongly agreed, "I just want to buy ten stamps."

He didn't know what happened next. For many years, recalling that, he regretted his own "stinginess" at the moment, and beat his chest. Even at that time, he actually had no shortage of money to sell stamps. On the contrary, it was precisely because of this miss that he aroused a strong interest in collecting stamps because of his regret, so he poured a lot of silver into it.

Human thinking is really strange, it seems to be changing every moment.

"Let's buy it, how much can I get? Let's buy a big one, just let it go, don't say anything to send a letter." But Xie Jiang was interested, and then he bought a full version and came back .

However, she couldn't bear it until Lu Aijiao was still short of stamps when she sent a letter, so she tore off one of the monkey stamps he had hidden. Years later, I also regret that my intestines are green.

After sending Shi Shi, Xie Jiang and Wu Tan out, Lu Yun also went to school by herself. When there were only Xia Yuan and Lu Aijiao left at home, Xia Yuan hesitated a few times, but Lu Aijiao saw the clue, and after holding back a few times, she finally couldn't help but wonder, "Xia Yuan, do you have something to say? "

...Well, you can see it." Xia Yuan looked at Lu Aijiao with a little embarrassment.

"Well, I see."

Can I not see it? You almost didn't say it. I've been looking at me all morning with the expression that I want to talk about. If she didn't ask again, Xia Yuan probably didn't suffocate herself, she would die of anxiety.

Lu Aijiao rolled her eyes at Xia Yuan while complaining in her heart, "Hurry up and say." The two have been together for a long time all day, and they get together every day to either do things or chat together. After so long, the original strangers can have feelings for each other, let alone between them.

To say that both of them are very fond of each other. So now the relationship is even more unusual, it has already become five or six points closer, and talking together will not be polite at all.

"Eldest sister--Is Aiguo the son of the second aunt?" Xia Yuan finally summoned up the courage to ask.

147. Fear

"How did you know?" Lu Aijiao almost dropped the vegetable plate in her hand.

really.

"Sister, you really know. You also said that we are better than other sisters, but for so long, you have kept such an important matter from me, without revealing the slightest hint?" Xia Yuan looked at Lu Aijiao accusingly. .

That's not what I'm asking about!

Lu Aijiao looked at Xia Yuan with a dry smile, put down the dish in her hand in embarrassment, and looked at her eagerly, "...Xia Yuan, I, I didn't mean to hide it from you, this is not, this is No... I actually wanted to tell you in my heart."

"I know, it's the agreement of the older generation, isn't it?" Xia Yuan sighed and took Lu Aijiao's hand, "Eldest sister, it's not me talking about you, but you too. It's too sincere. Even if the older generation had an agreement, did they say it to the death, and said that the descendants of the next generation are not allowed to say it?"

Lu Aijiao was dumbfounded, "That's not true.

" Can't say it? You are a few years older than Aiguo. Did someone tell you what happened back then? After so many years, can your parents feel better? It's Patriotic, he told me that when he was a child, he was in his heart more than once. He wish he was actually a child of the second room."

Xia Yuan's eyes were red, and she changed the names of Lu Erbo and Lu Erbo Niang.

"He really said that?" Lu Aijiao looked at Xia Yuan and nodded, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault that I didn't think of this level earlier. I actually already remembered at that time, my brother was suddenly carried into the hands of the third aunt and became a cousin, the parents sighed and cried all day long. The third aunt hugged her brother to death and refused to let go easily. I secretly ran to look at it, but I couldn't see it. Later, I was told not to say it."

Lu Aijiao wiped away her tears and blamed herself, "Why do you think I'm just like that? Stupid?"

"Eldest sister..." Xia Yuan sighed deeply, finally holding back what Lu Aiguo's adoptive mother, Aunt Lu, did. The deceased has passed away, besides, even if you want to say, you have to ask Lu Aiguo what he meant?

Her tears fell like beads, and the two hugged their heads and cried for a long time, and then remembered that everyone would be back for dinner soon, so they held back the idea of ​​​​talking to each other, and hurriedly started to make lunch.

When everyone came back and stepped into the door, they felt that the atmosphere at home was obviously different. Both Xia Yuan and Lu Aijiao's eyes were red.

Shitou and Lu Yun knew it well, but Xie Jiang and Wu Tan didn't know it.

Now that the matter has been revealed, there is no need to hide it anymore. Xie Jiang and Wu Tan were shocked when they knew the truth of the matter. Wu Tan was okay, but Xie Jiang couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

In the afternoon, Xia Yuan and Lu Aijiao didn't have the heart to do anything else and spent the afternoon talking on the sofa in the living room. That night, Lu Aijiao sent a letter to Erbo Lu and Er Auntie Lu.

When Lu Aijiao's letter arrived at Yushu Village, Lu Aiguo had already taken Lin Weisheng and Zhang Ming on the way back to Haicheng.

Lu Aibing wanted to follow along, but was eventually persuaded to stay at the factory to help.

The factory building was in full swing, and Lu Aimei and Zhang Cai helped a group of people cook rice and vegetables. Lu Aimei's father-in-law, Xie Lao, had bad legs, so he helped look after the two children. Xie Changgen and Lu Aibing followed wherever they needed to, or did some errands.

The three-wheeled bicycle that Lu Aiguo brought back has been tried, and it is very easy to use on the way to and from Xiejia Village and Yushu Village, and even on the way to the countryside. Of course, these roads are smooth, and I also brought tools with them during the test ride and cleaned up all the places with obstacles.

After a few days of hard thinking, Lu Aiguo discussed with Lu Erbo several times, and decided to go back to Haicheng to apply for a license to open a shop and set up a stall first. Even though there are actually quite a few people who run factories and workshops secretly, we still have to be good citizens, right?

And how can you not want to give back to the society after making money?

Lu Aiguo decided to wait for the formalities to be completed. At least he had to go to the school and orphanage to donate a piece of love, donate some desks, books, toys and money, and then condolence to the staff. Shouldn't it be better to give some welfare?

There are also the neighborhood committees, police stations, and industry and commerce who are in charge of their jurisdictions... Usually they have accepted the care of others for so long, and now they have become the first group of people to get rich first, at least they have to come to express their gratitude during the festivals ...

After thinking about it, Lu Aiguo finally let go of most of the burden in his heart. "What did Aijiao say in the letter?" While feeding the chickens, Aunt Lu asked Lu Erbo, who was reading the letter from her eldest daughter, with a smile, "Shouldn't you also talk about Xia Yuan's pregnancy?"

Continue talking on your own.

"I didn't expect Xia Yuan to give birth so soon. It's January now. It's been two months, and it will probably be born in summer. Although summer is a little hotter, it's better than winter. Aijiao will come back after the year. Now, there is a lot of work outside the home. How about I go with them to help before the New Year's Eve?"

"And this year, our family will raise more chickens and one more pig. You are at home. Just work harder. Now, if you collect eggs every once in a while, don't use the supply and marketing agency to exchange money for things. When you have saved up, you can take all of them to Haicheng."

Er Auntie Lu paused after saying this, and thought again, In the end, I was afraid that Erbo Lu would be too tired. "With so much work, you are the only one who has to take care of the village. Don't really tire you out. Now that you are too old, you can't resist your old age. Now , let's see who can plant it, let others plant it, we don't need too much, there should be someone willing, or ask the big room first, do you think this will work?"

Er Auntie Lu talked for a long time, and the chickens were finished. She never saw Lu Erbo answer her, which is rare. She couldn't help looking at him with a little surprise, and she was shocked when she saw it, only to see Lu Erbo sitting there in a daze, obviously not paying attention to what she said.

Aunt Lu jumped in her heart and hurried over to shake him, "What's the matter with you, old man? What happened? Did she write something in Ai Jiao 's letter?" Looking at Lu Er Auntie with a low mood, he said something very lightly.

"Understood...?" Aunt Lu's face turned pale all of a sudden, "This dead girl, how come her mouth has become unreliable after going out for a few days?"

"It's not Aijiao, it's Xia Yuan. Ask her. Shito and Xiaoyun heard someone in the village whispering, so they lied to Wei Sheng." Lu Erbo murmured, "It's good to know."

Lu Erbo grabbed the letter in Lu Erbo's hand and read it quickly. It's very short, just one page. After reading it, she also sat down on the small stool with her buttocks, and asked in a trembling voice as if all her strength had been drained, "It's over. Old man, what do you think will Aiguo think? Did he blame us? Yes. Well , he must be blaming us. Why didn't he pretend to be the same when he came back this time?" The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became, and she burst into tears, "Old man, what should we do? When I think of aiguo who will resent us in my heart, and my heart is like a thousand cuts. What if he refuses to pay attention to us in the future..."
