The pastoral life of the grass tribe chief

Lu Yao's two brothers-in-law and sister went home with the children, and the house was less lively.

It was only a few points less, and there were still five wild horses that made noise from morning till night, and from night till late at night. Add to that the other kids in the village, and it was hard to find any peace and quiet.

But that's what makes it feel like the New Year, and that's what makes the village vibrant.

After lunch, Lu Yao cut some wheatgrass to make juice when a video call rang.

It was Xie Wenjun, my high school deskmate, calling.

"Brother Yao, what are you doing?"

Xie Wenjun asked.

"The house by my pond."

Lu Yaodao.

"Why are you on vacation so early this year?"

Xie Wenjun went fishing at Wumutang.

"I was laid off, but I'll be back before the Winter Solstice."

Lu Yao used to only get a holiday around the 27th of the lunar year.

"You're a long-time employee, and your skills are so good, how could this be?"

Xie Wenjun was very surprised.

"The economy is bad. My boss's cousin was fired from his company and is coming to work in my department. Everyone else has connections or connections, but I have no background, so I have to pack up and leave."

Lu Yao initially harbored resentment towards his boss, but now he was somewhat glad that his boss had fired him, allowing him to enjoy this free life.

"Then their company is going to be in big trouble."

Xie Wenjun was somewhat gloating.

Some people are born with bad luck; whoever gets close to them will suffer.

Some people are born with good luck and can bring good fortune wherever they go.

Lu Yao belongs to the latter category.

He went to a restaurant to eat. When he arrived, the restaurant was empty, but after he sat down, more and more people started eating.

When he goes to the store, it's deserted when he first goes in, but after a while, more and more customers come in.

Whichever company he works for thrives, and the moment he leaves, the company's business either plummets or goes bankrupt.

Some things are just so mysterious and inexplicable that they cannot be explained by science.

This is also why Xie Wenjun was so gloating.

"Maybe."

Lu Yao smiled too.

"You're home?"

Lu Yao asked.

"No, I just moved stores, so I won't be going back this year."

Xie Wenjun said.

"Where to move to?"

"Huacheng, I was just about to ask if you have time to come over and visit since you're on holiday."

"When can we eat your wedding candy?"

Xie Wenjun said.

We broke up.

Lu Yaodao.

"What a pity."

"Forget about her, you can definitely find someone better."

Xie Wenjun was taken aback and could only offer this consolation to his old classmate.

He knew Lu Yao; the breakup definitely wasn't his fault.

Although he and Lu Yao didn't go to the same university, they were in the same university town and often hung out together on weekends and holidays, so he naturally got to know Lu Yao's girlfriend.

Lu Yao's girlfriend was also from the countryside. She didn't have the worldliness and prejudice that city people usually have. She was the one who took the initiative to pursue Lu Yao back then. I never expected that she would completely change after only a few years of working.

"I don't know, only time will tell."

We officially started dating in the second semester of our sophomore year, and for the first three years after we started working, we lived in the same city.

Later, in order to earn money to get married, Lu Yao changed jobs and went to work in another city. She also went to work for a company with a better future. Although they couldn't see each other every day, they could still see each other every week. They spent seven years together like this.

Seven years! How many seven-year periods are there in a lifetime? How can you forget them so easily?

Will you come to Guangzhou again in the future?

Xie Wenjun asked.

"I don't plan to go out; I'll stay home, raise fish, and farm."

Lu Yaodao.

"what?"

Xie Wenjun was stunned again, thinking he had misheard.

"I'm fine." Lu Yao knew his old classmate was worried about him. "I raise grass carp at home, and I've already achieved some success, earning about 100,000 to 200,000 yuan a year."

"From the moment I met you, I was either envying you or on my way to envying you."

"Indeed, those who can stay in the village are the true kings."

Xie Wenjun looked on with envy.

"Let me know you're back in advance, and I'll treat you to a whole fish feast."

Lu Yaodao.

"When you mention it, it reminds me of the porridge you make, and my mouth is watering."

"I got a call. Let's talk again when we have time."

Xie Wenjun hung up the phone.

Lu Yao put down his phone and continued juicing wheatgrass.

As more and more villagers, classmates, and friends returned, Lu Yao's busy pace slowed down considerably.

Lu Yao's second uncle, Lu Limin, and the others also returned. Lu Yao brought a five-pound grass carp and several cups of wheatgrass juice to have tea.

Of the five brothers, Lu Lide and Lu Limin had the best relationship, and their children were also close.

Lu Yao also admired Lu Limin the most.

Joining the army and making meritorious contributions is every man's dream, and going to the battlefield to kill the enemy is something every man longs for.

Many elders in Maoyuan Township participated in the self-defense counterattack war, but only Lu Limin and Lu Yimin's cousin actually went to the battlefield; the others were all logistics soldiers.

Tragically, Lu Limin returned wounded, while Lü Yimin's cousin remained forever on the battlefield, his body never to be found.

After the war, Lu Limin became a hero and went to Fengli County to take up his post as the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau.

He was originally the director, but he chose to become the deputy director and has been living in the county town since retirement.

He has four sons, two sets of twins.

The boss is also at the police station.

The second son originally worked at a branch of a county bank, but later went to work at a branch of a bank in Licheng. His wife and son also work and study in Licheng.

The third brother works at the Transportation Bureau.

The fourth brother originally worked in a government-affiliated institution, but later went into business and started a company with his classmates. Now he is considered a fairly successful boss.

As for his youngest daughter, she was spoiled by him and didn't want to get married, so she stayed at home and sponged off her parents.

"Your two older sisters and their husbands are here?"

Lu Limin asked his nephew while making tea.

"I'm here. I went back yesterday afternoon."

Lu Yaodao.

"Why aren't they spending the Lunar New Year here?"

Lu Limin put down the teapot and asked him to drink some tea.

"Their Chinese New Year celebrations are much more lively than ours. I'd like to take my parents there for the New Year, but my dad absolutely refuses."

"Second Uncle, your tea is as strong as ever."

Lu Yao picked up his teacup, took a sip, and couldn't help but frown.

"Hahaha, only you would dare to complain about your second uncle's tea."

"Your brothers drank it and couldn't stand it, but they didn't dare to say anything. They even flattered you, saying it was delicious, and then went back to secretly eat leftovers."

Lu Limin laughed heartily.

"Where is Sister Jun?"

Lu Yao drank two cups of tea, but still hadn't seen Lu Jijun.

Lu Jijun is two years younger than Lu Jiling and three years older than Lu Yao.

Young people share a common language, and Lu Yao wouldn't treat her as an oddball just because she stayed at home as a freeloader and didn't want to get married.

It's a person's freedom not to get married.

People who live off their parents don't say anything, so what right does an outsider like him have to criticize them?

He also wished he had parents like that so he could rely on them financially, but unfortunately he didn't.

"Upstairs, he's either on his phone or sleeping."

"These are Huaniu apples that your brother Can sent back. They're crisp, fragrant, and juicy. Try some."

My second aunt, Yang Meifen, came over carrying a plate of sliced ​​apples with toothpicks stuck in them.

"I have a way to get her to run down right away."

Lu Yao picked up a piece of apple, ate it while swiping the screen of his phone on the table, and quickly made a voice call to Lu Jijun.

"Speak quickly, I'm busy chopping people up."

Lu Jijun's voice came through the phone.

"I grabbed a few cups of wheatgrass juice. It's delicious, and it's also good for beauty and weight loss. If you come down any slower, there won't be any left for you."

Lu Yao could tell she was playing Honor of Kings.

There was no reply, then the sound of running footsteps came from the second-floor corridor and stairs, and a figure swept in like a whirlwind.

Who else could it be but Lu Jijun?
