Chapter 215 The Desolation of the Great Northwest
For today's students, what is more exciting than substantial rewards?
Seeing everyone's efforts in class, Li Wen nodded with satisfaction.
The same thing happened in the first class of Grade 2.
When she came home from school in the afternoon, Gu Sheng suggested that she take this reward to invite her family to a state-owned restaurant for dinner.
"We are too lazy to cook, so let's go to a state-owned restaurant to eat. Lu Jintang, call Aunt Fu!"
Xia Qiuyue agreed with this proposal, and she didn't want to cook either.
Gu Jiu doesn't want to cook either.
Lu Jintang nodded, "I'll go back and see if my mother has time."
My mother didn't know if she went to a private restaurant today.
"Okay, if Aunt Fu has time, you can come together. If you don't have time, come by yourself and we'll wait for you at home."
"good."
Then, the four separated at the entrance of No. 67 Xingfu Street, and the mother and daughter returned home.
"It will get colder and colder in the future." Gu Sheng quickly ran to the coal stove and opened the lid.
"Luckily, we have prepared thick cotton jackets and thick quilts." It is warm and warm.
"Your classmate Wang Yuwen's family is quite powerful, and you can get cotton." Xia Qiuyue said.
Gu Sheng paused, "If someone can get so many jobs in the provincial capital, there must be some connections at home. It's not surprising that we can get it. Anyway, we'll get it cheap."
"That's right. You can't go into this kind of thing in depth. If you have to know everything so clearly, it will be very tiring." Xia Qiuyue said.
Gu Sheng smiled and said nothing.
She noticed that Xiaojiu glanced at her.
But she didn't care. She also guessed Xiaojiu's secret, right?
The two sisters are tacitly aware of it.
Lu Jintang came here at this time. Sure enough, Fu Mingxiu had no time.
She seems to have been very busy all the time.
Gu Sheng even felt that sometimes she opened a private restaurant just a means of concealing her.
"Take the fire first and then go through, it's only past five o'clock now." Gu Sheng said.
It's a bit early to have supper after five o'clock.
Lu Jintang nodded and put down the lunch box, "It's the sugar rice cake I made, and tomorrow will be used as breakfast."
Gu Sheng likes soft and glutinous white sugar rice cake the most.
"Thanks."
"Are you still polite?" Lu Jintang looked at her squintly.
Gu Sheng: "...It seems so rude to me."
"Abao, Mai Lucidum." Xia Qiuyue brought Mai Lucidum in. Now they didn't drink sugar water anymore, so they drank Mai Lucidum directly.
The water at home was potted with Lingquan water by Xiaojiu, so Lu Jintang, who often eats here, is in good health. He went out to exercise in the summer and was not tanned.
The boys in their class are so jealous.
"Thank you Aunt Xia." Lu Jintang took the wheat milk and said in an up-to-earth manner.
"No thanks."
After drinking the squid, they roasted the heat for a while. They set off to the state-owned hotel at six o'clock.
The two of them held an umbrella.
"This rain doesn't seem to stop yet," Gu Sheng said.
A drop of cold raindrops fell on the back of her hand, and she suddenly felt a cool air.
Lu Jintang and she were under the same umbrella and heard this, "After this rain, they may completely enter the cold winter."
Today is December 1st of the Gregorian calendar, and Yin Li is about to enter November.
It's the coldest time.
"By the way, the holiday will take place in about a month. You start saying that you want to go to Yanjing, are you still going?" Lu Jintang asked casually.
He remembered it too.
"I don't know, it depends on what my dad and my mom mean, but if the weather has been bad, it may not be easy to go." Their trip to Yanjing was mainly because her mom hadn't been home for more than ten years.
"But with my dad's attitude towards my mom, I think it's very likely to go." Even if the weather is bad, her dad will definitely not care.
"What about you? Are you going back to celebrate the New Year this year?"
Lu Jintang was silent for a moment before saying, "If you don't go back, there will be no one if you go."
His family was divided and there was no one there.
The original house was also assigned to others.
Lu Jintang thought of his grandfather.
It must be difficult to bear in the winter in the northwest, and I don’t know if the old man is sick.
"Sorry." Gu Sheng found that his face was not very good and realized that he shouldn't mention it.
"It's okay, I just... forget it." Lu Jintang even knew what to say.
The two of them were silent next until they entered the state-owned hotel.
At the same time, Mr. Lu, who was mentioned by them, was in a remote production brigade in the northwest.
The winter in the northwest came earlier, and the cowshed where the old guys lived was not at all warm.
Mr. Lu wore the wool sweater and cotton jacket that Fu Mingxiu brought him inside, and put on a shabby cotton jacket and linen clothes on the outside.
Because he has lost a lot of weight and does not look very bloated, he has not attracted the attention of others.
"Brother Lu, what are you thinking? It's almost time to eat, and I'm going to herd cattle today." There was also an old man in his fifties living with Mr. Lu.
He has to be stronger.
"Here you come." Old Master Lu sighed and walked over.
Although he is old and his spine is a little hunched, his eyes are vigorous and his aura is very powerful, which is beyond the reach of ordinary old people.
The food they ate was very bad, it was just porridge and served with black pickled lumps.
No oil or water at all.
Even such food is not something you can eat often.
Mr. Lu was eating with a plain look.
After eating, the two of them took the cow and set off.
At this moment, his back was a little hunched.
It's also the other side of the Great Northwest.
Lu Minghuai's situation was much worse. He was just dragged away and was sent back after some education.
In the bullpen with air leakage on all sides, Lu Minghuai was covered in wounds. Unlike others, he was still in good spirits.
In fact, for people like them, the most heart-wrenching thing is mental blows and torture.
This is also the reason why most people can't stand it and commit suicide.
A person is mentally tortured and given up, what else can he expect to live?
"Brother Lu..." Next to Lu Minghuai, a more serious injury lay.
He was a university professor. On the first day he was sent to him, all his family broke off relations with him.
Now he is a real lonely person.
Lu Minghuai noticed the despair in his voice and felt a little sad, "Brother, you have to hold on, we will definitely wait until the day when the dawn comes..."
"Brother Lu, it's not that I don't want to persist, cough cough... I really feel that living so lingeringly is better than... to die happily. cough cough..."
He was already sick, and the torture took away half of his life.
Lu Minghuai struggled to sit up. Seeing that he was already confused and did not have much will to survive, he felt anxious and quickly set fire to boil water, and then turned over the anti-inflammatory medicine he had hidden.
