Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 47 Entering Modernization

Lao Lu went home a little early today.

The son said on the phone that he would be back today.

The younger son's behavior in the past two years has long ceased to be that of a child, and Lao Lu is very happy.

At the beginning, the reason why he was sent to the maintenance team was to let him learn a trade and have the ability to settle down and make a living in the future.

Who knows what reservoir he will contract.

The fish was sold and some money was made.

But when he thought about it, his family had a lot of wealth, and the hairy ones didn't count.Although the fish has no hair, it is still not safe.

A serious illness or disaster can lead to bankruptcy.

He thought to himself that while he was making some money, he might as well change his career.

After working for three years, a craftsman will not starve to death. Learning a craft is better than anything else.

He didn't want his son to learn his cooking skills.What's the point of learning to be a chef?Let’s talk about oil fumes all day long. My lungs are bad now because of the oil fumes. Don’t let my son learn to be a chef.

Mother Lu prepared meals early, and the old couple sat at home in the dark and waited.

Why doesn't this kid come back?

"Wang Wang~"

Bao Xiong under the table suddenly let out a cry.

With a creak, the door was pushed open.

Hu Dagui came in carelessly.

"Uncle, aunt, Changhua hasn't come back yet?"

Hu Dagui took a quick glance and found that Lu Changhua was nowhere to be seen, and he couldn't help but be disappointed.

"Not yet, maybe the bus is delayed."

Lao Lu said something that he didn't even believe.

When Xiong Bao saw it was Hu Dagui, he opened his mouth and yawned, then lay down and closed his eyes.

There are frequent power outages at night during this time.

"Let's light the wax. It's shameful that it's dark when Dagui comes."

Lao Lu said something.

Mother Lu stood up and picked up the white candle on the cabinet.

Hu Dagui took out the match from his body, struck it with a click.

A small bean-sized orange flame danced on the matchstick, stretching the figures of the three people in the room and reflecting them on the wall.

"Dagui, have you eaten?"

"Hey, eat some."

Hu Dagui stretched out the match to the candle twister, and the white cotton wick burned brightly.

He took the white wax, found an upside-down can bottle on the side, dropped the wax oil on the bottom of the bottle, and quickly sat on the white wax before it solidified, and the candle stuck tightly to the bottom of the can bottle.

Mother Lu found scissors, and carefully cut off the excessively long candle wick. The flame on the candle suddenly rose a lot, and the room became much brighter.

"I'd better feed the pig first."

Mother Lu muttered to herself, then got up and went to the kitchen.

The big fat pig in the pig pen is already howling with hunger.

Lao Lu and Hu Dagui were the only ones left in the room.

The two chatted for a few words and then began to sit there.

The clock on the wall rang loudly.

Hu Dagui took a glance and saw that it was already 06:30.

"Uncle, I'm going back first."

"Sit a little longer?"

"No, I have to get up early tomorrow."

Hu Dagui stood up, said hello, opened the door and left.

Lao Lu sighed, feeling a little anxious.

What happened to this kid? !
He took off his shoes, put on his clothes and lay on the kang, with his head on a roll of mat. The heat from the hot kang beneath him made him feel even hotter.

Mother Lu poured the pig food into the pig trough, washed the pot when she came back, and finished cleaning the kitchen before she came in to wash her hands.

"What's going on with this kid? He's not here yet."

Mother Lu said worriedly.

Lao Lu, who was lying on the kang, didn't respond and just covered his forehead with his arm.

Suddenly, the light bulb flashed suddenly, and the room lit up with yellow lights. There was a call.

Lao Lu suddenly sat up from the kang.

"Oops, there's a call."

Mother Lu was very happy.

Poof~ Lao Lu blew out the candle in one breath, and a stream of green smoke rose straight from the candle wick.

chug chug~
drip~
There was a roar of a locomotive, and the bright light shone on the window for a few moments.

The horn sounded twice more.

"Wang Wang~ Wang Wang~"

Xiong Bao stood up suddenly, barked a few times, and ran towards the door.

Mother Lu glanced at Lao Lu, quickly opened the door and walked into the yard.

Lao Lu also followed closely.

Outside the courtyard gate, a bright light was facing the courtyard gate.

The locomotive was still on fire and humming loudly.

Xiong Bao barked a few times, then lowered his head, twisted his waist and moved towards the gate of the courtyard.

Lu Changhua put out the fire and took off his helmet.

"Mom, I'm back."

"Ah? It's Changhua!"

When Mother Lu heard that her son was back, she hurriedly opened the door.

Xiong Bao whimpered and felt aggrieved, swinging his butt left and right as if it was equipped with a motor, and his tail swept the ground clean.

Lao Lu walked forward.

"What did you drive back here?"

Motorcycle Lao Lu had seen it before. With the light in the room, he could vaguely see it, but he wasn't sure yet.

"Dad, motorcycle, our family needs this, otherwise walking back and forth will delay things."

As he spoke, Lu Changhua opened the courtyard door completely, turned around and hung the helmet in his hand on the handlebar.

With all his strength, he pushed it into the yard.

Seeing that his son was struggling to push, Lao Lu took a few steps and put a hand on the back of the car.

The two of them worked hard, and the car pushed smoothly into the yard.

"Ouch, what are you pulling behind me?"

Lao Lu found that there was something behind the car, no wonder it was so heavy.

"Something to buy."

After the car ladder was set up, Lu Changhua used the indoor light to untie the rope.

"what is this?"

"Mom and Dad, this is TV!"

"Huh? TV?!"

Both Lao Lu and Mother Lu were overjoyed.

"This kid is spending money in vain. Why did you buy this thing?"

Mother Lu complained, but she took the initiative to turn around and hold the door.Lu Changhua picked up his travel bag in one hand and walked in first.

Old Lu bent down, picked up the cardboard box, and followed inside.

Both father and father entered the house, and then Mother Lu closed the courtyard door.

Lu Changhua put the travel bag on the table. Lao Lu hugged the TV and walked around the room without letting go, and finally put it on the kang.

Lu Changhua opened the travel bag and took out all the clothes and shoes inside.

"Oh, these are...new clothes!"

Mother Lu took the clothes and looked through them.

He looked at it and praised it.

"Isn't this clothes expensive? It would be great if you buy a few feet of cloth and make it. It will also save money."

"Mom, ready-made clothes are in fashion now. Buying cloth to make clothes is out of date."

"Hey, whatever is outdated but not outdated, as long as it can be worn."

Although he said this, he still picked up the clothes and measured them on his body.

"Dad, here are your clothes, trousers, and shoes."

"Hey, I wear a chef's uniform all day long, so I don't have time to wear this. You can keep it."

Although Lao Lu was happy that his son was filial, he felt really sad when he looked at the table full of new clothes and shoes. How much does it cost? !
"Dad, our family used to be poor and didn't have the financial conditions. Now that we have money, we have to buy what we should buy and wear what we should wear. Dad, just feel free to wear it boldly. They say that if you don't have enough food, you won't have enough clothes. We only suffer from poverty if we fail to calculate. As long as we have a way to make money, life will get better and better."

"I said the child's father, just take it. Your son is filial, why are you so polite?"

Mother Lu's mentality has also changed now. The main reason is that the clothes are really good, with good materials, good workmanship, and good styles. They are really good.

Mother Lu felt as if she had eaten honey. She had not raised her son in vain.

When Lao Lu saw that his wife was happily trying on clothes, he followed suit and said, "Let's stop holding it."

Lao Lu looked at his three sets of clothes, feeling satisfied and his eyes shining.

Ahem, what, let’s try leather shoes first.

Three-jointed leather shoes, shiny and with a half-inch heel.

Nowadays, men’s leather shoes with heels are also popular.

Lao Lu put on his new leather shoes and walked around the house a few times. The soles of his feet were so soft.

Xiong Bao saw Lao Lu walking around the house like a revolving lantern, and he followed him around, as if he had something to do with him.

Lao Lu felt that he seemed to be a little taller.

Haha, isn't this just right for my name? No matter how tall Lu is, he is still taller.

"Mom and Dad, this belongs to my eldest brother, I bought it for him too."

Mother Lu put down the clothes in her hands, picked up her eldest son's clothes, looked through them for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, your eldest brother will be back in two days, and I will give it to him then."

"Eh."

Lu Changhua took out his clothes and put them aside before opening the carton.

"Okay, let's eat first, the food is cold."

Mother Lu complained, got up and went to the kitchen to serve food.

Lao Lu and his son quickly moved all the travel bags and clothes on the table to the kang.

Lu Changhua also went to the kitchen to get dishes and chopsticks.

Soon the family was eating.

The dishes have been hot and cold, back and forth many times, and have long lost their proper freshness.

However, Lu's food is heavy on oil and salt, so this time it tastes even stronger.

After dinner, Mother Lu cleared away the dishes, while Lu Changhua turned around and picked up the TV set on the kang.

Lao Lu felt itchy in his heart when he saw it, and he reluctantly stretched out his hand.

After opening the box, Lu Changhua turned to greet him.

"Dad, come and help."

"Eh."

The two men carried the TV out together.

I put my hands on the kang and took off the bubble wrap and plastic bags outside.

A brand new red TV was revealed.

"Wow, this is TV?!"

Mother Lu came into the house and saw it, and exclaimed in surprise.

Lao Lu couldn't help but reached out and touched it, then reluctantly retracted his hand, turned around and looked around, looking for a place to put it.

"Dad, just put it on the cabinet."

The Lu family really has no place to put this thing except the cabinet on the west side.

"Okay, let's put it here for now."

The two men lifted the TV and placed it on the cabinet, then moved it left and right.

Lao Lu was still standing at the door to check the angle.

"Dad, you don't have to go so far, it's nice to sit on the kang and watch."

"Isn't that right? Just sit on the kang and watch."

Mother Lu sat down on the kang, leaning against the fire wall, just in time to see the TV on the cabinet.

"That's fine too."

Lao Lu thought about it for a moment, then sat on the kang with his wife and watched his son playing with the TV.

"Mom and Dad, how are you doing this time?"

"Okay, it's straight this time."

Lu Changhua found an outlet and plugged in the TV power cord.

Press the switch and the screen slowly lights up.

There was a burst of snowflakes and a rustling noise came from the speakers.

After adjusting the channel, a figure appeared in the snowflakes, and there was the sound of music among the rustling.

The image is also distorted like a twist.

"Is this TV?"

Lu's mother opened her mouth in surprise and didn't close it for a long time.

"Mom, don't worry, it's not healed yet."

Lu Changhua took out several round metal rods from the cardboard box.

Like magic, after a while of assembly, it turned into a tree branch.

I took out the signal cable again, and after a while of tinkering, I connected the cable.

Another round of debugging.

"The waves run, the waves flow, the river flows endlessly for thousands of miles..."

The colorful picture appeared on the TV, and the sound became clear and natural.

"There's someone in there!"

Mother Lu exclaimed.

"If someone is there, it's a photo taken."

Lao Lu said proudly.

"As far as you know."

Mother Lu leaned against the fire wall with a smile on her face.

Lao Lu stared at the picture without blinking.

Lu Changhua watched his parents watching TV attentively, and he sighed secretly. His family had finally entered modernization. Although it was still early to say this, wasn't it a good start?
