60s Splendid Life

Chapter 341 The Death of Mrs. Lu

"That's the end of our meeting this morning. For the time being, let's follow the two plans discussed earlier. The person in charge of each of your regions is responsible for follow-up. If you have any questions, please report to me."

"Ok."

The morning meeting lasted for several hours, and it was already noon after the meeting.Lu Jin asked everyone to eat first, and went back to his office. Lu Bocheng followed him into his office, and went to the cafeteria for dinner after he packed up his things.

After lunch, Lu Jin took a few children home. Not long after he got home, his lobby brother Lu Songguang hurried over, saying that something had happened in the old house.

It turned out that Mrs. Lu died in the house, or that Lu Jianguo, who came back from work at noon the next day, went to the old house. He didn't see the old lady coming out to eat, so he knocked on the door and called for someone. After knocking for a long time, he didn't hear anyone answering inside. He felt that something was wrong, and after breaking the door, he found that the old lady had died in the house. He didn't know when she died, and the body was a little smelly.

This is not the most disgusting thing, the most disgusting thing is that the old lady died on the bed, and there were a group of mice crawling around on the bed, Lu Jianguo's face turned pale with fright.

When Lu Jin and his eldest brother arrived at the old house, they saw many people from the village standing at the door of their old house.

At this moment, the team leader is organizing people to go into the house to clean up the rats, and the food that has been brought out has filled half of the yard. Only then did the people in the village know that Mrs. Lu had hidden so much food in the house, and many of the bags of food were destroyed. The mouse was bitten, and someone beat the mouse all over the place outside.

"This amount of food is enough to feed a family for a year." Someone said.

Chen Aihong from the second room scolded at the door: "I told her a long time ago that if you hide so much food in the house, wouldn't the mice worry about it? On weekdays, I see a lot of mice in the house, all from her room." I have told her many times that I came out, but she just doesn't listen to me, what can I do?"

"I can't see it. He died in the house right now. Who knows if it was a mouse bite or something."

Chen Aihong still thinks it's bad luck for her mother-in-law to die at home, so how dare they live in this house in the future?

On the way, Lu Jin had already heard what was going on from his big brother, and now he was looking at so many grains piled up in the yard, and when the pockets leaked out, he could see that the grains inside were moldy.

Seeing his aunt standing here, Lu Jin came over to say hello to his aunt.

"Xiao Jin, you are here too, don't go in, your second uncle and the others are cleaning up inside." Wang Meili saw that the eldest son went to find his nephew, and asked the eldest son to get a shovel to guard the mice, but he did not let him go. The nephew went to help and asked the nephew and them to wait outside.Since her husband opened the door and went in to see the scene of the old lady's death, he hasn't recovered yet and is still lying on the bed at home.

Some children in the village came to watch the fun, but they were all driven away by the adults at home.

Not seeing the other little nephews coming, Wang Meili asked, "Chenchen and the others didn't come with you, did they?"

"No, I didn't let them come." Lu Jin shook his head and said.

Fortunately, he didn't let the little ones in the family follow, otherwise he was afraid that he would scare the little ones in the family.

Standing here, Wang Meili can hear the second aunt talking about their mother-in-law. It is true that their mother-in-law has not done very well these years. She has occupied so much food by herself and raised mice in the house. Now she is dead Well, the food moved out like this is probably not edible.

On this day, more than a dozen people caught two large baskets of rats, killed them all and buried them in the back mountain.

When something like this happened in the village, Captain Lu and Secretary Lu didn't look very well, so they reported the matter to the relevant departments in the town that day, and they immediately sent doctors and people from the Epidemic Prevention Bureau over.

After a doctor's examination, Mrs. Lu was indeed killed by a rat. Therefore, Mrs. Lu's body could not be kept at home. It was buried on the same day, and the old house of the Lu family was thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.

Chen Aihong and Lu Jianqun's family of six moved out of the Lu family's old house that day and borrowed an old house from someone else's in the village.Even Lu Jiankang, who still wanted to live in the old house, was arranged by the captain to live elsewhere, and he was not allowed to continue living in the old house.

As for the grain brought out from the old lady's house, it was either moldy or bitten by rats. Both Lu Jianguo and Lu Jianqun brothers didn't want it, and no one in the village wanted it.So in the end, after getting the consent of the Lu Jianguo brothers, Captain Lu ordered people to move the food to the fields of their village, set a fire to burn them to ashes, and took them to the fields to accumulate manure.

In the early years, there were many villages where the plague occurred in the countryside and many people died. Therefore, people from the Epidemic Prevention Bureau paid great attention to the occurrence of rats biting people to death, so they sent professionals to stay in Lujia Village to direct Lujia Village The staff carried out a comprehensive deratization and disinfection.

Their factory also had a two-day holiday. Lu Jin organized all the employees to clean the factory and warehouse, and once the mice were found, they would all be exterminated.But probably there are a group of cats, big and small, in their factory, and they didn't find any trace of mice after cleaning them all.

Households with cats in the village have almost no mice in their homes, and those with mice are mostly those without cats.

After this incident, those families who thought raising cats was a waste of food all went to the houses that had cats to ask if there were kittens, and the houses that went quickly took the kittens back to raise them. , The slow-moving kittens were taken away, and they had to wait until the next time the mother cat gave birth before going to adopt them.

"Fortunately, our family has cats, and there is not a single mouse in the house." Mrs. Qin has been preventing the women in the village from hunting mice these days, and the few houses they have cats have not a single mouse.

If you want to say who has the most cats in the whole village, it must be Lu Jin’s family. Their big cats give birth to kittens, and the kittens grow up and give birth to kittens. cat.But these five cats are already big cats, so someone later came to their house and asked to buy their cats, but they didn’t sell them. They only said that they would take them back and raise them when their mother cat gave birth to kittens. .

It turned out that there were still a few wild cats in their village, and people in the village would shout and kill them when they saw wild cats.After the rats killed people in their village, the people in the village would stop shouting and killing wild cats when they saw them, and would give these wild cats some food to eat.

However, after the entire village was exterminated, the rats in Lujia Village were almost wiped out.

Witnessing the scene of his mother's death, Lu Jianguo went back and had nightmares for a long time. From then on, he turned pale with fright when he heard the sound of the mouse, and the mouse became a shadow in his heart.In fact, not to mention Lu Jianguo, many people in the village who saw so many rats have been afraid of rats ever since.

Lu Jianqun and Chen Aihong felt that it was not a long-term solution to borrow other people's houses all the time, but their family didn't have that much money to buy land and build a house now, and there was a lot of land over the old house, so they pushed the old house down. It is no problem to build two new houses.After the husband and wife had a discussion, Lu Jianqun went to find his fourth brother Lu Jiankang, and they discussed pushing the old house down and dividing the land into two shares, and the two brothers each paid to build their own houses.

When Lu Jianqun came to find Lu Jiankang, he also said, "You are not too young. When you build a new house, you can find a matchmaker in the village to tell you about a marriage, and you will marry your wife." These years The relationship between Lu Jianqun and his brothers is neither too good nor too bad.Since the death of his mother, Lu Jianqun seems to have regained his original intention, and he will also think about his brother.

"Well, let's push it." Lu Jiankang thought for a while and agreed.

He came back to the village for a few years, and worked in the factory in Houshan for a year the year before. Later, the factory in Houshan was closed, so he went to other villages with the vendors in the village to sell tofu, and also sold some of the tofu in his village. Although the factory's food is not much, it is enough for him alone, and he has saved a little money.The year before last Liu San had married a wife, and Lu Jiankang felt envious in his heart. He thought that it was time for him to marry a wife. He thought his brother was right. When the new house was built, he would find someone to talk to him about the marriage and marry his wife to him. Have a good time.

Lu Jianqun and Chen Aihong were also very satisfied with the result of this discussion.

Within a few days, Lu Jianqun and Chen Aihong asked someone to watch it for a day, and found someone to help demolish their old house and build another house.

In the past few years, Lu Jianqun worked in the factory in Houshan and saved a lot of bricks and tiles, so they didn't need to spend extra money to buy bricks and tiles when building a house, they just had to spend all their money to hire people to help build the house.

Lu Jiankang also saved some bricks and tiles himself, but he didn't have much money, so he didn't ask anyone to help. From the foundation to the wall, he did it by himself.

Sometimes Lu Jianhui brought a few sons to help him, and the conflicts between the brothers in the early years were gradually eliminated in the past few years, and Lu Jianguo was also willing to help the youngest brother.

Wang Meili didn't say anything about it. After all, he was a real brother, and the bones were broken and the tendons were still connected. Her wife would not be that villain anymore.

As for Lu Jianhong, someone went to inform her when her mother died, and she didn't come back to see her off for the last time, as if she had nothing to do with Lujiacun and the people in Lujiacun from then on.

In fact, Lu Jiankang visited this sister several times after he came back. Once he went to see Lu Jianhong, he found that the man beat his sister. He wanted to take Lu Jianhong home, but Lu Jianhong did not go with him. He still wanted to live with that man. .At that time, the man scolded his sister for being a hen that couldn't lay eggs. Lu Jiankang got angry and got into a fight with him. Of course, he was the one who got beaten up.

When he came back, Lu Jiankang asked his sister-in-law, only to find out that his sister Lu Jianhong had a child not long after he went to the labor camp. No wonder his sister hated their mother so much all these years.As for who the child his sister was conceived, Lu Jiankang also asked, but no one in the village knew. He asked Lu Jianhong, but Lu Jianhong refused to say, so he still doesn't know what happened.

Lu Jiankang felt angry and sad about his younger sister Lu Jianhong's refusal to come back to deliver her mother even after her death. He even wanted to argue with Lu Jianhong, but he didn't do that in the end.
