MTL - Rebirth 1983: Starting From Taking Back the Family Property-Chapter 40 On the train

Chapter 40 On the train

Lu Jiajie saw General Tie holding the door and knew that the two men were out. Recently, a large number of street gangsters have been cleared, and the public security in Sijiu City is now very good. Xue Mao would accompany Lu Jiaxin when she went out, so he wasn't worried.

 Lu Jiajie is afraid of heat and sweats easily. After running outside all afternoon, his clothes have already become wet. There happened to be clothes stored here, so he fetched water and took a shower in the yard.

When changing clothes, he found a new set of clothes on the bed. Thinking of what Lu Jiaxin said before, he smiled and picked up the clothes to change into. But he didn't expect that there was a piece of paper underneath his clothes. When he read the contents on the paper, his expression changed drastically.

Lu Jiaguang received his call and asked in surprise: "What did you say? Xinxin went to the ancient capital. What was she doing in the ancient capital?"

Lu Jiajie had already recovered from the shock: "She left a message saying that she was going to the ancient capital to find the trafficker, otherwise she would not be able to sleep well for the rest of her life."

Lu Jiaguang was angry and anxious and asked: "Hurry up and ask the neighbors to see if they left yesterday or today. If you encounter someone with bad intentions again, you will not be so lucky."

He regretted supporting Lu Jiaxin to move out, otherwise he would have discovered it quickly if someone at home suddenly disappeared.

Lu Jiajie hurriedly comforted him: "Brother, you don't have to worry. In addition to Xue Mao, she also found two people to accompany her to the ancient capital. Those two people were introduced by Mrs. Xie, and they are good at protecting them."

When Lu Jiaguang heard this, he finally let go of his worries: "You first go to Su Heming to understand the situation, and then come to my side."

"good."

After the two brothers met, Lu Jiajie handed him the letter.

Lu Jiaguang took it and read it carefully. She wrote on it that she was going to the ancient capital and the reason why she hid it from them. She also said that she would be back within two months, so they should not worry.

Lu Jiajie leaned on the chair and said, "Brother, I see that Third Uncle really makes Xinxin feel chilled. She didn't even say hello for such a big thing as going to the ancient capital."

 Normally, when encountering difficulties, one would seek help from their parents, but Jia Xin didn’t even mention it. Even if I asked for a bodyguard, I would ask for help from my family, not my third uncle.

Lu Jiaguang said: "If you were replaced by Xinxin, wouldn't you be disappointed?"

　　Previously, I was slightly partial to Ding Jing and her daughter. It can be said that it was for the sake of family harmony. But it had been so long since Xinxin had been back, Ding Jingan was peacefully being Mrs. Lu, and Zhao Siyi was happily going to college. On the other hand, Xinxin moved out from home after suffering so much grievance. If Jiajie hadn't lived there, the two and a half-year-old children would definitely have been bullied.

Lu Jiajie said: "Brother, why don't you tell him about Xinxin?"

 Lu Jiaguang was also angry. He felt that Lu Hongjun was close to him, but no matter how angry he was, he couldn't hide it. So I immediately dialed the number, but unfortunately no one answered.

 The Xie family arranged for someone to follow Lu Jiaxin to the ancient capital. Safety was guaranteed, so he was not worried. As for the human trafficker, he didn't think Lu Jiaxin could catch him.

The Public Security Bureau in her hometown searched for her based on the clues provided by Lu Jiaxin, but could not find the person who matched her description. It was expected that she couldn't be found. After all, traffickers know how to disguise themselves. There have been young women who have made up to look like old women before.

Lu Jiajie couldn't help but complained: "It was so good when the third aunt was here in the past. We went to have dinner on weekends, and the whole family and Lele started to have love and confidence. Who wouldn't be envious when we saw it? It's not like now, you can only go to the work to find something." Third uncle."

 In the past, going to my third uncle’s house was just like going back to my own home. Ever since Ding Jing walked in, he always felt like a poor relative coming to enjoy the autumn breeze. It's also for Xinxin, otherwise he wouldn't come to the door! Now that my sister has moved out, she will never go to the family home of the department store if there is nothing important.

Lu Jiaguang doesn’t want to discuss Lu Hongjun, no matter how much he is, he is still his elder. He changed the subject: "Since your father-in-law and mother-in-law want to adopt your aunt's child, you and Lili should buy a house and move out. If the money is not enough, I still have some here."

Lu Jiajie would not be polite to his brothers. If he didn't have enough money, he would definitely ask Lu Jiaguang to borrow it: "Brother, I am looking for a house recently. If I find a suitable one, I will move out."

 Lu Jiaguang thinks this is good news. In fact, he had long wanted Lu Jiajie to move out. A man lived in his mother-in-law's house, and he couldn't straighten his waist: "As long as you can convince her. But after moving out, you will be the head of the family and you have to take on the responsibility of the head of the family. "

“I know, brother. Alas, I don’t know what Xinxin is doing now?”

Lu Jiaxin, whom he was thinking about, was having dinner on the train. People nowadays are more frugal, and many people prepare dry food when traveling far away. Xue Maolao's cakes can only last for one meal, and the rest can only be bought on the train.

Lu Jiaxin bought two meat dishes and one vegetable dish. Lu Jiaxin thought the taste was pretty good and the price was acceptable. Unlike later generations, it was expensive and unpalatable.

Gu Wenfeng had a big appetite and ordered two extra portions of white rice. Seeing him eating so deliciously, Lu Jiaxin felt like she had an appetite.

 Sitting opposite them was an old man with half-grey hair. He also bought a lunch box and had little appetite. But seeing Gu Wenfeng eating so deliciously, he suddenly developed an appetite.

 After eating, the old man sighed: "It's better to be young! Like when I was thirty years old, I ate two aluminum boxes of rice, but I was hungry again before it was time to eat."

Lu Jiaxin didn’t say anything, but secretly said in her heart that it was because everyone had no money in their stomachs. It requires so much oil and water that I can't even finish an aluminum lunch box.

 Gu Wenfeng is not a person who likes to chat, but the old man talked to him with kindness, and he responded: "We will all grow old one day, and no one can escape it."

Lu Jiaxin looked at him with some surprise. Zhao Dajun couldn't hide anything in his heart and revealed his secrets within a day, but Gu Wenfeng didn't say anything. She felt that Gu Wenfeng was a man with a story. The berths they bought have one on the lower berth and one in the middle. The positions are very good. When they first got on the bus, someone wanted to change with them, but Lu Jiaxin refused.

 Sleeping on the lower bunk is convenient for doing anything. If she is an elderly person with inconvenient legs or has children, she will carry forward the spirit of Lei Feng. The other party saw that she was in her prime of life in her forties, and she didn't want to feel wronged.

Gu Wenfeng's positioning is very clear. He is only responsible for protecting Lu Jiaxin's safety during this trip. He will remind you of dangerous things and won't talk much about anything else.

 After dinner, the old man and Lu Jiaxin chatted. People like to talk about ancient times when they get older, and this old man is no exception. She wouldn't be willing to listen to it if she was in Sijiu City, but it was idle time on the train, and listening to it could be regarded as killing boring time.

It was getting dark, and the lights in the carriage came on. The old man was tired of talking and went to the water boiling room to get water by himself.

Gu Wenfeng and Lu Jiaxin said: "Shall we change? You sleep in the middle bunk."

He felt that it was not safe to sleep on the lower bunk. Many people who took the train lost their valuables and money at night. The hard-seat compartment is the hardest hit area, and the sleeper compartment is slightly better, but it is not unheard of. Lu Jiaxin said before that she had brought valuable things. Judging from the weight of the luggage and the several banks she had visited before, she concluded that she should have brought a large amount of cash this time.

"good."

 After the lights in the carriage went out, a few people were still talking. There was a strange smell in the carriage, and Lu Jiaxin tossed and turned in bed until midnight.

"ah…"

 A scream startled her awake, and when she sat up, her head hit the iron frame. But at this time, she could no longer care about her forehead, because Gu Wenfeng was holding someone backhand.

 Lu Jiaxin asked: "Brother, what's going on?"

Gu Wenfeng said loudly: "He wanted to steal our luggage, but I caught him."

Lu Jiaxin's heart skipped a beat when she saw the army green bag on the ground in the dim light, but she didn't show it on her face: "Brother, did we lose anything?"

 She put two thousand in her canvas bag and put the rest of the money in her duffel bag. This money is used to buy a house. If you lose the house and can't buy it, you will run away in vain.

Gu Wenfeng glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, nothing is lost.

The people in the carriage heard that a thief had been caught and quickly checked their belongings. Among them, a passenger near the door was stolen, and more than 500 yuan in his bag was missing.

The police came soon, handcuffed the thief and took him away. The more than five hundred yuan was also found on the thief.

 The passenger who lost his money even came over to thank Gu Wenfeng. If he hadn't been vigilant and caught the thief, the money would never have been recovered.

Lu Jiajie and Lu Jiaguang had dinner at the Railway Bureau and went home after dinner. I met a candied haws seller on the road and bought three skewers.

Even though I don’t have a good relationship with my eldest sister, I won’t argue with a child. More importantly, he didn't want to get into another argument over such a trivial matter. But when he got home and saw Sister Ma coming again, he took the candied haws directly into the house.

Lu Jiajie didn’t want to look at his aunt’s ugly face, and was just about to say that he wouldn’t have dinner at home that night when Ma Mu came out of the kitchen.

As soon as she saw Lu Jiajie, Ma Mu stared at his clothes and asked, "Jiajie, you didn't wear these clothes when you went out at noon. Where did you go?"

Sister Ma was like a cat smelling the fishy smell, so she let out a cry and said, "Jiajie, your clothes are brand new and they fit you well. Who bought them for you?"

If told nicely, he would explain it, but he was acting strangely, as if he had done something shady. Lu Jiajie said with a cold face: "Does it have anything to do with you who bought it? If you have such leisure, you should take care of your children and don't always take duck eggs home."

Sister Ma’s face turned blue and white. Her two sons’ inability to study was her Achilles’ heel: “My Xiaogang is not good at studying, but he is an upright person, unlike some people who are sneaky.”

Lu Jiajie was furious: "What do you mean by that? Your man likes to steal, do you think all men in the world are the same? I'm really sorry, I have mysophobia, unlike your man who is dirty and smelly. Reject."

I learned the term mysophobia from Lu Jiaxin.

Sister Ma was extremely angry: "Lu Jiajie, what are you talking about? My man is innocent, and you slandered him."

If you ridicule him for eating soft food, you will tolerate it, but if you slander him for having a woman outside, you must fight back. Otherwise tomorrow the whole building will be rumored to be messing around outside.

Lu Jiajie said: "You know in your heart whether he is innocent or not, and we all know it too."
