world of planes

Chapter 67

Barefoot in the hot summer, I went to catch the 'Cicada' on the big tree, and went to the back mountain to pick wild grapes with my friends, wearing shorts and short sleeves, walking on the country road in the early morning with cattle.
This may be Luo Chen's childhood memory, there are many happy scenes, but also hard scenes, washing clothes, helping with farm work, cooking
Grandpa and grandma, even with Luo Chen's strengthened brain, have no impression, because he has never seen the two old people before, and they passed away unexpectedly, without leaving a single photo!
Luo Chen's parents lacked the help of the old man, so they had to work harder and harder, and the two brothers had suffered the hardships of life since they were young.

Luo Chen remembered the most profound sentence his mother said, "When I married your father, there was only 100 yuan in cash at home. I washed clothes at the door the next day, and I was charged for electricity bills for several months. What is owed but not paid!"

I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it!
In Luo Chen's memory, it seems that not only his own family is poor, but in the entire small village, there are no wealthy families in a dozen or so households.

When I was young, my father went out to work and rarely came back. My mother planted the fields at home, and brought the two young brothers!
Throughout the year, my father was always owed wages because of his honesty, and my mother at home could barely grow enough food for the family.

Luo Chen still remembered being led by his mother to ask for debts at the contractor's house.

A tall, lanky middle-aged man with a handsome appearance, with a big back comb and polished leather shoes, a brand new Qianjiang motorcycle was parked at the door, and the mother and son struggled for a long time to get 800 yuan.

Luo Chen and his mother didn't return to their home until late at night!
It wasn't until Luo Chen started to go to school that the family began to change.

The city began to develop, and the nearby mountains began to explode and quarry rocks. My father ended his wandering life and went up to the mountains to help people move rocks. One year later, he took all his belongings and bought a second-hand tractor!
Tow a car of stones for 30, move it into the car and drive it by yourself!

Gradually, the family bought a black and white TV, built a two-story building, and the food at home became better.

A few years later, the quarry was closed down due to frequent safety accidents.

Parents are no longer engaged in that high-risk job.

In addition to growing grain, the family also began to grow some high value-added cash crops, lotus seeds. The family borrowed money to buy a small rice hulling machine. The local name is "Jiami Factory". Earn more than in the quarry!

The younger brother Luo Xing was in high school, and Luo Chen's mother began to accompany him to study. After the younger brother was admitted to university, the mother had a plan to settle down in the county.

Later, at the request of his mother, Luo Chen's father came out of his hometown in the countryside and embarked on the road of being a worker again!
The development of society has been improving. Luo Chen's parents can save [-] yuan a month. The factory also pays social security, and the income is guaranteed in drought and flood. At this time, the two also hope that the next generation will be urbanites.

Luo Chen drove home from the factory, recalling bits and pieces of the family!

If it wasn't for his parents, maybe Luo Chen wouldn't have a house in the county.

Uncle, the cousins ​​of the second uncle's family are still working outside, and they live in their hometown in the countryside when they go home!

This time, I just took the opportunity of my brother to talk about friends. They all came back during the Chinese New Year. Let them go to work for me next year.

It's not that Luo Chen doesn't pay attention to his relatives. The situation in the factory has stabilized. Whether it is to let them take a simple position or arrange them to be grassroots managers, it's easy to arrange now, isn't it?
If they take the initiative to learn and are willing to go further, Luo Chen will naturally be happier!

There is nothing wrong with nepotism, but those who are capable live, this is also Luo Chen's bottom line.

"Mother Luo Chen, you are blessed. Luo Chen has made a fortune, and now I want you to retire and go home to take care of yourselves. Now that little Luo Xing has made friends again, you want to pick us up for a drink!" The aunt in the village is taking Luo Chen's Mom joked.

"Yes, you are so lucky, the two sons in the family are now promising!"

This is Luo Chen's third grandmother.

"Accept, definitely accept, aunt, sister-in-law, you will help check it when the time comes!"

This one couldn't help but laugh when he spoke, of course it was Luo Chen's mother.

There were a few people sitting in front of the house, chatting with Luo Chen's mother.

They don't mean to be jealous or flattering either!
The village is very small, and most of them are from the family surnamed Luo. The atmosphere is also very simple, and they usually help each other and live in harmony!

From a long distance, Luo Chen's super hearing can feel the envy and blessings between the lines.

Luo Chen's car just came out of the concrete road next to the yard, revealing the side of the car!
"Ah, Luo Chen's mother, this car belongs to Luo Chen, right? Luo Chen is back!"

My aunt was sitting facing the road, and she could see the passing vehicles very clearly.

Following everyone's gaze, Luo Chen parked the car, stepped forward and began to say hello.

"Hello third grandma, hello auntie!"

"Chen Zi came back so early, did he come back to see your mother, or did he check on your brother?"

"Chenzi, come here specially, you are not busy with things outside, you drive such a good car, isn't the business doing well?"

Fortunately, there are only two people sitting now, if three aunts and six wives go up together, Luo Chen might not be able to stand up to himself.

"Not busy, not busy, I will come back often when I have time in the future, mom, where is my dad?"

36 meter, go first!

Luo Chen changed the subject, ready to escape.

"He brought a pig back from your second uncle's house today, and he is bleeding the back, saying it is for Chinese New Year to make bacon!"

Naturally, it is impossible for the parents to take it for nothing from the second uncle's family, and the family does not lack this money now!

And Luo Chen felt that his mother's words seemed to mean something, it doesn't seem so early to make bacon at home, right?
And there is no need for a whole pig, so exaggerated!
"Chenzi, your parents must have prepared it for their future daughter-in-law. Hurry up and talk to a friend. Your mother will probably kill two pigs, haha."

The aunt was half joking and told the reason!
"Oh, Mom, I'll go and see if I need help!"

Luo Chen's spiritual sense had seen the specific situation at home long ago, but it was just to match his mother's performance. His mother has a personality that is stronger than others when things happen, and she doesn't have any bad intentions, just to save face.

Now that Luo Chen is back home, for his relatives, he decides that it is better not to look around with his spiritual sense as much as possible, because there is always a sense of voyeuristic uneasiness!
Luo Chen's house has two floors, and the front is an open field with a concrete floor, which is even with the road in front of the door.

Thanks for the country's village-to-village construction!
A kitchen was built on the left side of the house, and the back yard was larger than the front. There were five rooms in a row, all of which were former pig houses, and now they are empty to store sundries. The entire area of ​​his house is about 350 square meters. Not too small!

When Luo Chen came to the yard, the open space where the weeds had regenerated before had been tidied up and quiet, just like the inside of the house.

"My parents are indeed much more diligent than me. If it weren't for the wrong season, I'm afraid there would be no chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, or any of the vegetable fields in a panic now!"

When I looked up, there was still a little gray puppy tied to the yard with an iron chain as thick as a finger, the kind of little dirt dog that had just been weaned.

It saw Luo Chen wagging its tail, looking like it still wanted to jump up and down, but unfortunately it couldn't, the iron chain let it bear the weight it shouldn't have to bear with its physique!
Luo Chen released it from the iron chain, "Don't think about it, my dad must have done it!"
