City S is not too far from City X, nor is it very close. After driving to the airport and taking a plane, you can reach City X in three hours. From the airport in City X to Longtao Village where the ancestral home is located, it takes two more rides. hours by car.
Longtao Village is a typical small town with a slow life. The folk customs are simple and the villagers are friendly to others. When a family has a difficult problem on weekdays, other families will lend a helping hand to help. In this small town, there are three More than a hundred people,
Among them, more than fifty people are all surnamed Lu, and they are all relatives of the Lu family, and they are all brothers in their ancestors. It has been passed down to the current generation, although the theory of blood has probably faded a lot, but the human touch is still there.
Longtao Village has a beautiful scenery with mountains on its back and water in front, and the trees are shady. There is an illusion that people who live here must have good eyesight...
When Lu Jianhao, Lu Anran and others arrived at Longtao Village, members of the Lu clan had already greeted them at the entrance of the village. When they saw Lu Anran getting off the car, many of them had amazed expressions, but most of them were somewhat disdainful. What do you do with a baby girl
Lu Jianhao exchanged a few words with the elders in charge, and Lu Anran arranged for someone to take down the presents from the car and distribute them. The group hurriedly returned to the ancestral house.
The ancestral house has been around for some years. Although it has been renovated and maintained regularly, it can still see the vicissitudes of time.
Returning to this place again, Lu Anran stretched out his hand to touch the vermilion lacquered red door, and an inappropriate fake cough came from behind, as if reminding Lu Anran that he should not do this. Lu Anran didn't hear it either.
Stopped, raised the corners of his mouth, looked at Lu Jianhao who had entered the door, and said: "Grandpa, this door seems to have some spiritual feeling." When Lu Anran came here in the previous life, he only felt that the place was a bit eerie and empty, but this time it was not.
Of course. The cold touch came from between the fingers, a little rough and a little prickly, but not annoying. The old houses that have been around for a long time are generally somewhat spiritual, not to mention that there are special rooms in this house dedicated to the spirits of ancestors.
bit.
"This house has a history of hundreds of years." Lu Jianhao's eyes were full of relief, and it is already very good that the house is still standing here in his generation: "An Ran, this house needs to be repaired every fifteen years. It will be refurbished every ten years or so, and before the refurbishment, a Fengshui master should be invited to take a look and calculate the exact date and time. You have to remember it.”
"I've made a note." Lu Anran nodded and withdrew her hand from the gate. Lu Anran raised her foot to step over the 3-inch-6-fen high threshold, and as soon as she stepped on the ground, a gust of wind blew towards her. Lu Anran closed her eyes and entered the door and the wind stopped, and then looked at the other people who didn't seem to feel the wind blowing just now, Lu Anran raised her head and looked around but felt that there was nothing strange about it.
"Miss, what's the matter? Is something wrong?" Chuyi asked.
"Miss, what's the matter?" Fifteen asked afterward.
"Did you feel a gust of wind just now?" Lu Anran asked.
"Miss, I didn't feel it, did Fifteen feel it?" Chuyi shook his head and asked Fifteen.
"Miss, I didn't feel it either." Fifteen shook his head.
"An Ran, why are you in a daze, follow up!" Lu Jianhao called back.
"Oh! Good grandpa." Lu Anran followed immediately, and followed closely on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.
After entering the house, the next thing is to have a meal. Although it can't be said how luxurious it is, it can be seen that everyone entertained with heart. There is no shortage of chicken, duck and fish, eight large bowls, four small plates and two soups. The taste is not so good, but it is passable.
Lu Anran picked up the chopsticks and only took a few mouthfuls of vegetarian dishes before putting them down. She tossed all the way, although she didn't get motion sickness, she lost her appetite.
"Why don't you eat more?" A broad-faced, thick-browed man at the dining table saw that Lu Anran had eaten just a few mouthfuls, and then he put a large rib in Lu Anran's bowl: "Eat more, we are poorer." It’s not as good as in your city.”
"You're welcome, Uncle Chai." Lu Anran quickly waved his hand. He still has an impression of this man, a relative who lives far away, the third eldest, and the villager's name is San Zhuang. He has a strong personality. Honest, he was one of the few people who hadn't ridiculed her in the previous life.
"How do you know my name?" Lu Junchai was also taken aback, rubbing the back of his head and smiling shyly. People in the village have been calling him "three strong and three strong", but he rarely hears others really calling him As for the name, it's quite nice to be called by this girl.
"This came after I did my homework!" The woman who spoke was a woman who had just brought a plate of cold dishes to the table. She was not in her thirties, and her appearance could not be described as beautiful, but she could be considered delicate. Wearing an embroidered T-shirt plus denim trousers, a pair
The legs are slender and beautiful. She looked Lu Anran up and down, and looked at Lu Anran's clothes with envy in her eyes, she liked Lu Anran's clothes more and more: "The girls in this city are different from us, they are so handsome."
"Yes, this little face is fair and clean." A middle-aged woman brought a large bowl of fish soup to the table, rubbed her hands on the apron around her waist and said with a smile: "It's so beautiful." ah!"
Lu Anran smiled politely, and didn't say much. The two people who spoke were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and they were not easy-going lamps. It's better to avoid getting involved with them.
"Cough!" The man sitting on the table on Lu Jianhao's right coughed, and the two of them stopped talking and retreated.
There were men at the whole table, only a girl named Lu Anran, she was reluctantly allowed to sit on the table because she was a guest, and the seat was also at the bottom, with Lu Anran and Lu Anran standing behind her on the left and right look steadily forward. there is another table next door
The boys who were sitting were all boys who were about the same age as Lu Anran or a little younger, one by one peeking at Lu Anran and the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, while the women gathered together in a small shed not far away. Eating in the circle, the dishes are the same as this
The table is about the same.
The men at the table were drinking and chatting and flattering each other, and it was not right for Lu Anran to leave, or not to leave. When none of the elders left the table, it was really difficult for her as a junior to move first, and she had to sit still even if she didn’t eat. Only then will it work.
"Why don't you eat it?" Lu Junchai was a little strange seeing that Lu Anran didn't eat the spare ribs he picked up: "Is it not to your taste?"
"I don't eat meat." Lu Anran waved his hand and said truthfully: "I have been driving for so long today, and I really can't eat it." Originally, she didn't have a big appetite, but she really wanted to be with people who eat a lot Let's be friends, so I can help her try it out, Lu Anming and the others are too weak in combat.
"What? Don't you eat meat?" The other men on the table were also stunned.
