A wonderful life through the 1970s
Chapter 6: Past Events in the Compound
Soon it was the third day, and Lan Xiyue left the space and went to the black market.
When they arrived at the entrance of the black market, there were still the two sentinels. One of them saw Lan Xiyue and hurried over.
"Comrade Lan, you are here. Our boss is waiting for you inside. I will take you in."
Lan Xiyue nodded and followed him into the black market and came to the small courtyard they were in last time.
Lu Xiangbei and Zhao Guoliang were both there. When they saw Lan Xiyue stand up, they welcomed her into the living room.
Zhao Guoliang smiled and said, "Comrade Lan finally got you here. The two watches you provided are very popular. Can you get more?"
Lan Xiyue smiled and said, "I only have 50 yuan at the moment. I have to go to the countryside the day after tomorrow, so I can't help you."
"Comrade Lan is going to the countryside?" Lu Xiangbei asked at this time.
"Yes, the train the day after tomorrow morning."
"With Comrade Lan's ability, it shouldn't be difficult for him to stay in Beijing, right? Why does he want to go to the countryside?" Lu Xiangbei asked puzzled.
"Respond to the country's call and go to the countryside to support rural construction." Lan Xiyue replied halfheartedly.
Lu Xiangbei raised his eyebrows and looked at Lan Xiyue thoughtfully.
Lan Xiyue's five senses were so sharp, "Is there something on my face?"
Lu Xiangbei: "No, I just think you look a lot like a friend of mine."
"There are many similar people in the world, so why bother with this question. By the way, do you have any thick quilts? If you do, bring me two."
"Yes," Lu Xiangbei ordered the people outside to get it.
"Okay, thank you very much."
At this time, Zhao Guoliang handed the prepared banknotes to Lan Xiyue, "Here is 9,000 yuan, and some nationally accepted tickets."
Lan Xiyue looked at the extra tickets and raised her eyebrows. "Okay, thank you very much."
"No need to thank me. We made a lot of money from these watches of yours. Although there are risks, people die for money and birds die for food." Lu Xiangbei said nonchalantly.
"That's right. Okay, I'll take my leave now. I still have things to prepare."
The next morning, Lu Xiangbei ran into Lan Jingchen who was jogging as soon as he entered the military compound. He went up to him and said hello, "Brother Jingchen, are you jogging?"
Lan Jingchen saw that it was Lu Xiangbei, "Xiaobei, did you just come back from outside?"
"I was busy with something last night and stayed up late, so I didn't come back."
Lan Jingchen didn't ask any more questions. Few of the family members like theirs were really stupid. They all knew when to act.
"Well, then go back and rest early." He waved his hand and continued running.
Lu Xiangbei also waved at him and walked towards his home, but he stopped a few steps after walking out. Lan Xiyue's face flashed through his mind. When he saw Lan Jingchen, he remembered that they were at least 60% similar. Could they be related? I haven't heard that there are girls in their family? Is he overthinking?
When I got home, my family was preparing to eat.
When Mr. Lu saw him come back, he hurriedly called him over for dinner.
Father Lu came down from upstairs. "Xiao Si, have you been busy recently? I didn't see you come back to sleep last night?"
"We received a batch of watches yesterday. I arranged for someone to handle it." Lu Xiangbei replied.
"The situation is unstable now, so be careful and don't let anyone catch you. Although our several major families have their own industries, remember not to touch what you shouldn't touch." Father Lu reminded.
"I know, Dad. By the way, I know a girl who looks 60% like Brother Jingchen. I haven't heard that there is a girl in his family? Could she be Uncle Lan's illegitimate daughter? I ran into Brother Jingchen when I just came back. The more I think about it, the more they look alike." Lu Xiangbei said jokingly.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Mr. Lu and Dad Lu looked at each other and thought of the girl who was lost in the Lan family eighteen years ago.
At that time, the Lan and Li families almost fought to the death because of this matter. That was the only girl in the Lan family for several generations. In the end, it was the chief who came forward to mediate because Mr. Li had made many contributions to the country.
Only then did he have a chance to save the young lady's life from the angry Lan Jinwei and Ye Linghua. However, although his life was saved, his limbs were broken and now he is like a disabled person and can only sit in a wheelchair.
Until now, the relationship between the two families is incompatible. Over the years, the Lan family has never given up looking for this child, and the older generation knows it.
"Where did you see her, Xiao Si? Do you know that girl?"
Lu Xiangbei looked up at Lu's father's serious face and felt something was wrong.
"What's wrong? Is there something I don't know?"
"If she is as similar as you said, she may very well be the daughter that your uncle Lan lost." Father Lu said seriously.
Lu Xiangbei was stunned for a moment, "Is there really a girl from the Lan family wandering around?"
"Well, back then, Li Ling, the eldest daughter of the Li family, admired your Uncle Lan. But your Uncle Lan and your Aunt Lan had been a couple for a long time and had a good relationship, so how could they fall for her? After your Aunt Lan gave birth to a daughter, her jealousy reached its peak. Because your Aunt Lan is also a master of ancient martial arts, Li Ling couldn't do anything with her. In the end, she bribed the Lan family's nanny to steal the little girl, who was only a few months old, and sent her out of Beijing. I heard that she was sold to human traffickers from other places. When the Lan family found out, they were furious and almost took Li Ling's life. The old man of the Li family had to beg the chief to save Li Ling."
"But not long after, Li Ling was thrown in front of the Li family with her limbs crippled. Everyone knew who did it, but no one said anything. The Li family couldn't really fight the Lan family to death for Li Ling, because they were in the wrong. The situation has been turbulent in recent years. Although the Lan family didn't do anything to the Li family openly, they still suppressed them secretly. In the past two years, the Li family had a martial arts genius, Li Liangyu, who became a disciple of a martial arts master from a hidden family. Only then could they breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise they would have been destroyed by the Lan family long ago."
"Your Uncle Lan and Aunt Lan rarely come back to the compound. On the one hand, they don't want to see the Li family, and on the other hand, they are still looking for their daughter."
"I heard that he was sent out of Beijing, so how come he appeared in Beijing? Could it be a mistake?" Mr. Lu interrupted.
"Whether it is true or not, I'll give Jinwei a call and ask him to check it out and we'll know." Father Lu said directly.
"Xiao Si, how much do you know about that girl? Can you find her now?" asked Mr. Lu.
"I only know that her name is Lan Xiyue, and she will go to the countryside to work as an educated youth tomorrow. After all, we have only done two transactions, so it is not easy to ask too much, but I can't see through her." Lu Xiangbei replied thoughtfully.
Also surnamed Lan? What a coincidence?
"Dad, we're not sure if she's Uncle Lan's daughter. Can you call him now? What if she's not?" Lu Xiangbei asked worriedly.
"Should we let him check it himself? It's better than searching for a needle in a haystack for all these years." Father Lu felt very sorry for this brother.
"That's fine, go ahead."
Mr. Lu said to his family: "Don't talk about this outside until the matter is thoroughly investigated."
Because Lu Xiangbei's mother died early, he and his father Lu live with the old man. His eldest uncle and second uncle live in houses allocated by their units and only return to the old house on weekends. So besides the three of them, there is only an aunt who helps with cooking and the old man's bodyguard at home, so there is no need to worry about anyone going out and talking nonsense.
"I understand, old man."
