# The Man Who Married into a Wealthy Family(Side Story:"Ordinary World")

In 1990,a high-ranking official came to the Lu family inLujiawan,a poor village in a poor county in Shaanxi Province.

The villagers gathered in twos and threes at the entrance ofLao Lu's house,watching the black car that had traveled a longand bumpy way to Lao Lu's mud-brick house.

At that time,for ordinary people,a four-wheeled car was asymbol of status,because in those days,only two kinds ofpeople owned four-wheeled cars—bosses and officials.

"He's a high-ranking official in Beijing!"said the womanfrom the Feng family,who lived next door to Old Lu's family,having gotten inside information.

The villagers gasped.Since the reform and opening up,even county leaders rarely visited the countryside anymore.They never expected that a high-ranking official from Beijingwould come to Old Lu's house.The villagers stirred withexcitement,their eyes filled with envy,wondering how such adistinguished guest had suddenly fallen from the sky to Old Lu'shouse.

Actually,Mr.Lu was also puzzled,because the person thisdistinguished guest knew was not him,but his father who haddied fighting against the Japanese shortly after his birth.

"Comrade Lu sacrificed himself heroically to protect usback then.I have always wanted to visit Comrade Lu's family torepay his revolutionary friendship with us,but for variousreasons,I have been delayed until today."In front of Mr.Lu wasa man in a suit.It was hard to guess his age.He had a full headof silver hair,but his face looked very young.He was also talland thin,and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.He lookedvery elegant and did not look like an official at all.He lookedmore like a scholar.

Lu's father was a little confused,a little confused about thisfriendship that had lasted for more than forty years.

Bei Mosha adjusted her glasses and said,"It's like this.Back then,I made an agreement with your father that if I hadany children in the future,we would become in-laws.As forme...I got married rather late,not until I was over forty,so I hadto postpone fulfilling my agreement with Comrade Lu untiltoday."

Mr.Lu,who had only worked as a coal miner for a fewdays,quickly stood up and said,"No,no!"
