Chen Xiuqing and Chen Xiuyu had no good feelings towards their uncle at all.
Seeing people is like seeing air, just ignore them.
Chen Xiuqing even directly pulled Lu Lu aside: "This is my uncle, Ma Jinlong, don't worry about him, I didn't even bother to invite him!"
"What's wrong?" Lu Lu asked with a smile.
"This kind of person is not worth it!"
Chen Xiuqing shook her head: "When my father was still there, he would always give them meat for hunting and other things. When he came to borrow money, he would never be vague as long as he had it at home. It was all a confusing account.
See him again.
After my father passed away, life at home plummeted. At the most difficult time, we didn’t even have any corn at home. My mother led us. There was a time when we couldn’t even eat wild vegetables, and we couldn’t even see any wild vegetables.
.
But having no food is not enough. I led my sister and walked for most of the day to borrow some corn and money from their house. But when we got there, we couldn't get through the door. Especially the aunt, who directly told me where she came from.
Beggar, drive away quickly.
As a result, my uncle really told us to get out. Not to mention the money, we didn’t even see a grain of corn. He was in good condition. He was an employee of Weiling Forest Farm. For this job, my father gave him two sables.
Pi helped him find it, but he came back and treated us like this.
Since that time, my sister and I have never been to their home again, and we don't have this uncle in our hearts.
Fortunately, there are a lot of fish in the rivers and puddles in the mountains, and there are a lot of wild vegetables on the mountains. My mother also borrowed some grain from the production team. We, brother and sister, will not starve..."
In fact, Lu Lu also heard Chen Xiuyu say this in his previous life.
After Lu Lu got married, he had been doing business for two or three years and had some savings. The family's life also improved, and they started to buy mountain goods. Chen Xiuyu led the people in the village and worked hard day and night.
He lived a life that was one of the best in the village.
At that time, Ma Jinlong, who had not walked around for many years, also started to come to the door. He opened his mouth to ask for this and kept silent to ask for that, but he really dared to speak.
For the sake of Chen Xiuyu's few relatives, Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu also made some money. Even if Chen Xiuyu disagreed, as long as it was not excessive, Lu Lu would help him appropriately.
Lu Lu eventually went bankrupt, and when he came to ask for money, he was always rejected. Only then did he truly see Ma Jinlong's shamelessness.
The saying that disaster lasts for thousands of years is absolutely true.
Lu Lu died in the end, and Ma Jinlong was still alive and well.
Thinking of this, Lu Lu couldn't help but teach him a lesson. If you treat him as a relative, he may not take you seriously. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. On the contrary, it is the people who come and go in the village who usually help the family in the end.
Be less busy.
Lu Lu resurrected his life and chose to return to Xiushan Village again, mainly because of Chen Xiuyu. The rest were probably the pretty good people in the village.
In this life, I will never recognize this uncle again.
So Lu Lu turned a blind eye to his uncle while holding the child and greeting the guests.
But Ma Jinlong came over to talk to Lu Lu: "Are you Lu Lu? I am Xiuyu and Xiuqing's uncle, their biological uncle."
On a festive day, it's hard to say unpleasant things. Lu Lu just smiled slightly and said, "I've never seen him before. I don't recognize him. Uncle, come and sit in the room. We are all a family. You can do whatever you want. I'll go greet the others."
Lu Lu pulled away and left, busy talking to the old and young men in the village who were guests for a wedding banquet.
Seeing Lu Lu and others talking and laughing, Ma Jinlong could only go to the door angrily to look for Zhang Shaofeng and Wang Demin, who were warming up the brazier and responsible for collecting gifts and paying bills, hung up the gift money, and then entered the house.
He walked around and looked at everything in the house, and finally went to find Ma Jinlan, who was full of joy and chatty.
In any case, they are brothers and sisters. Although Ma Jinlan also talked to him, her attitude was obviously much colder than that of others.
After he entered the house, Lu Lu made a point of looking at the gift money Ma Jinlong had posted. It was quite a lot, and he paid ten yuan.
Chen Xiuqing's wedding was going on in a lively manner. It was noisy all day long, until it got dark and the guests had dispersed. Lu Lu also called Chen Xiuyu, took the children, and rode Zhui Feng back home.
The next morning, helpers had to be invited to dinner. Zhang Shaofeng and a large group of people arrived at Chen Xiuqing's house early, and there was a lot of noise again.
The bride Wang Yan came out to greet the guests with a shy face, but everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw her walking with a slight limp.
When Chen Xiuqing came over to toast, he arrived at the table with Brother Lu Lu and others. Chen Xiuqing was pulled by Zhang Shaofeng to sit down. He looked around and no one was paying attention, and said in a low voice: "Lao Wu told you the day before yesterday, let me
Just take it easy...Tsk, tsk...Look, what do you do to people? If you get the chance, just hit him hard!"
"Qingzi, you are really ruthless!" Zhao Yongke also made a rare joke with him.
"Lao Liu has been looking forward to this day for I don't know how long!" Liang Kangbo also said with a smile.
Raymond was the oldest and seemed to think it was inappropriate to make this joke, so he just smiled.
Lu Lu had no intention of letting Chen Xiuqing go, and joked: "Be honest, how many times?"
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiuqing chuckled and scratched his head: "Three times!"
As soon as these words came out, a group of elders burst into laughter.
This is so silly and so sincere.
In exchange, several people said in unison: "Just take it easy!"
Chen Xiuqing felt embarrassed all of a sudden, blushed and quickly found an excuse to escape.
Seeing him like that, several people laughed again.
After finishing the meal, there were snowflakes falling outside again, and I couldn't do anything. I helped put away the food, washed the dishes, and the helpers brought back their respective dishes, chopsticks, tables and stools, and we were almost done in no time.
.
Wang Yan blushed and made tea for Lu Lu and others, and they chatted on the kang.
"With this heavy snow, it's easier to hunt in the mountains." Lu Lu said while looking out the window at the snowflakes that were falling and showing no signs of stopping.
"What should we do next?" Raymond asked.
"There are still more than two months before the Chinese New Year. Before that, let's choose better weather, take care of the matter of keeping the beehives warm in the beehive, and then consider going into the mountains." Lu Lu thought for a while and said: "It's better.
It’s the same as usual, mainly hunting fur and bear bile.”
"Still in Xiaoxinganling?" Zhang Shaofeng was more concerned about where to go: "I feel like there are too many people in Xiaoxinganling."
"There are indeed many, probably because the terrain is mostly flat, with forest farms and villages scattered throughout it. In winter, more people enter the mountains... This time we go to Daxinganling. There are fewer people there and there are more wild animals!"
Lu Lu made a decision: "We will go hunting here for a few months of the year. At the beginning of the new year, we will mainly catch sika deer. There are still too few sika deer in the breeding farm. It will be money to raise them."
Several people nodded slightly.
Lu Lu emphasized: "The situation in the Greater Khingan Mountains is much more complicated than that in the Lesser Khingan Mountains. This time, you have to be even more careful and make adequate preparations when entering. Trojan horses, snow poles, hunting gear, clothes, food, guns and bullets are all needed.
Get ready... By the way, the eldest brother doesn't have a wooden horse and snow pole yet. The third brother can help me make a short wooden horse. In the past two days, I went to ask my eldest brother to practice skiing. Among the brothers, I and the eldest brother are the most stupid at skiing.
"
"When do you start practicing? I'll go too!" Zhang Shaofeng asked with a smile.
"Starting tomorrow, we will practice around our family farm. If we encounter wild animals or something, we can clean them up."
I also practiced skiing and cleared away wild animals, killing two birds with one stone.
Things have been settled for now.
The few of them chatted briefly for a while and then went home.
Chen Xiuyu and Wang Yan were chatting in the bedroom, and Lu Lu held the child and played with it on the kang, waiting for her.
Ma Jinlong, who didn't go back yesterday and stayed at Chen Xiuqing's place for the whole night, saw that most of the people had dispersed. He ended his chat with Ma Jinlan about "the deep brother-sister relationship" and turned to look for someone who was busy cooking on the kang stove outside.
Chen Xiuqing who adds firewood.
Ma Jinlan also went out to feed the two pigs he was raising.
Lu Lu tilted his head and looked through the window at Ma Jinlong and Chen Xiuqing who were talking outside.
Ma Jinlong spoke quietly, and Lu Lu couldn't hear clearly from inside. After a while, Ma Jinlong happily followed Chen Xiuqing into the house. Then he brought a cup of tea, got on the kang, and followed him wordlessly.
Lu Lulao.
Lu Lu responded with a nonchalant yes, and more often than not, he was teasing the infant child who could make him grin with just a little movement.
Not long after, Chen Xiuqing came out of the bedroom, got on the Kang, sat down next to Lu Lu, and looked at Ma Jinlong opposite, who was smoking a cigarette and drinking tea.
"Uncle, you talked a lot to me outside just now. You want to build a house and give my cousin money to prepare for a wife. This is really tight..."
Chen Xiuqing said, first he took out ten yuan from his pocket, put it on the Kang table, and pushed it to the opposite side of Ma Jinlong: "Look, your life is very tight, and you still have so much gift money. You should take this back first."
. We usually only pay three to five yuan here, but ten yuan is too much this time."
"That's a lot. You are my nephew. My eldest nephew is getting married. There won't be many happy events that day!" Ma Jinlong pushed the money back again.
"Well, I'll take the money and treat it as if it's yours to return to our family. When my dad was here, he also lent you a lot. I was still young at that time, so I don't know exactly how much I borrowed, but I'm sure,
Much more than ten bucks!”
Chen Xiuqing said, collecting the money and putting it in a bag.
When Ma Jinlong heard this, his expression changed again and again, and he was even more confused.
He turned his head and looked at Lu Lu beside him, and asked Chen Xiuqing awkwardly: "Why are you bringing up old scores now?"
"Brother Lu, Xiuyu, and my mother are all the closest people to me. Don't tell me otherwise, so I will tell you the truth. This old debt is also a debt. Since ancient times, the father's debt has been paid by the son. The debt owed by the father's generation must be paid by the son.
Is it not too much for a son to repay the money his father borrowed during his lifetime?" Chen Xiuqing asked Ma Jinlong with a smile: "They say debts are wiped out after death. No matter how you say this, it is wrong. My dad
Just because he passed away doesn't mean that I don't have to pay back the debts I owe, and I can't collect the debts I owed him."
"It should!" Ma Jinlong nodded with a strange look on his face.
"Then when are you going to repay the money you borrowed from my dad? It's easy to borrow and repay, and it won't be difficult to borrow again!" Chen Xiuqing looked at Ma Jinlong with a smile.
"Eldest nephew, if I can repay you now, would I still ask you to borrow money?" Ma Jinlong was a little overwhelmed by Chen Xiuqing's question, and there was a hint of anger in his words: "Just tell me, can I borrow money from you?"
Can’t I borrow it?”
"Borrow it, why don't you borrow it! You are my uncle. I heard you just said that you want to build a house, but you are short of six hundred. You also want to arrange a marriage for your cousin, and you need another four hundred, which is one thousand.
Yuan, this is not a small amount."
Chen Xiuqing weighed it and said with some embarrassment: "Uncle, you see, I have just built a house here, got married, my life has just started, and my money is a little tight..."
"I heard that the two accounts were totaled. Didn't they say they just received more than two thousand yuan in gift money?"
Ma Jinlong remembered this very clearly.
"As I said, gift money, that's gift money. When someone else has a wedding or a banquet, I have to pay it back, and I may have to pay back more. To put it bluntly, it's a gift and it's also a debt. You can't mess with it.
move."
Chen Xiuqing's shrewdness at this moment surprised Lu Lu.
"I heard that you have been hunting, carrying sticks, and running a family farm for a year, and you have made a lot of money... It shouldn't be a problem to borrow a thousand yuan!" Ma Jinlong frowned again.
"A thousand dollars is enough for a person to live without food or drink for two years... Besides, without Brother Lu taking care of me and helping me all the time, how could I have the ability to make this kind of money? It's not like I can just do it when the wind blows."
You can pick it up."
As Chen Xiuqing spoke, he reached into his pocket and touched it, then took out a one-cent note and put it on the table, pushing it in front of Ma Jinlong: "In this way, uncle, you finally opened your mouth, and you can't explain it without borrowing it. This is also the case."
Keep your hard-earned money!"
When the words reached this point, Ma Jinlong suddenly became angry: "If you don't want to borrow it, just say no, why do you have to use this penny to humiliate me? I really feel that I have made a fortune, and my relatives have disowned me, right? I'm not like you by sending me a beggar."
In this way, I am your uncle."
Chen Xiuqing chuckled and said: "Brother? Now you know he is my uncle? When I was a child, I came to your door to ask you to borrow food and money, but I couldn't even get in. Why don't you just call us brother and sister beggars?
Are you telling us to get lost? I didn’t even lend out a single corn seed, but I still borrowed it now... A penny is money!"
