Good Luck in the Year of the Pig - Chapter 13

    In the middle of the night, Lu Ying woke up from the bed, staring blankly. The ceiling is white, unclean, peeled and stained with dust, and debris is piled up in every corner. The house cooks all the year round, and the walls are yellow and dark from smoke.

    Maybe their clothes and quilts also smelled of fireworks.

    I don’t know how much truth lies beneath Mrs. Qin’s kind smile yesterday.

    ‘I’m not embarrassing you, I’m for your own good, I’m not forcing you to go, I’m thinking about your future’

    ‘I hope you have a good life in the future, use the money, go back and be filial to your grandfather’

    ‘I know you may think I’m bad, so it doesn’t matter if you scold me. But after ten or eight years, you will surely thank me. ’

    ‘You can’t be in love at such a young age, you have to study and think more, and being with your grandfather is the most important’

    ‘I know you are a good boy, I actually like you very much, otherwise people would have arrested you long ago’…

    Really.

    Mrs. Qin is very good, the words she said are still in my ears, every sentence is in my heart, and every word is reasonable. Let him deeply understand what is “being a man with one’s tail between his tails”, what is “fear” and “despair”. He was still shivering when he ran to the airport with tears in his eyes. He thought that although he was very reluctant to have the little lover there, the little lover’s mother was really terrible. Oh, if the little lover has a conscience, he will definitely go to the mountains to find him.

    When he arrived at his site, with his grandfather around, he was not afraid of Mrs. Qin.

    …

    “Huh…” At this moment, the clearer it is, the more amusing it becomes, laughing at myself for being naive and stupid back then, and being easily scared away by others, ╭(╯^╰)╮. I am afraid that Mrs. Qin still does not understand her inexplicable deterrent power.

    It’s just that Mrs. Qin is still the same Mrs. Qin. He is no longer the Lu Ying who only hahaha. Mrs. Qin’s skin looks old, while his heart grows.

    As for the little lover who I have never seen again…I can’t force it.

    Oh no, it was the ex…

    Today is January 1st, the first day of the new year.

    Lu Ying walked to the window and quietly opened the curtain, the world outside the house was snow-white overnight.

    Snow covered the dilapidated streets and eaves as white as frost.

    It looks like a star is falling from the sky.

    He wanted to reach out and catch it.

    The cold glass blocked his intentions.

    Drip, drip.

    The alarm clock goes off at 3:30, it’s time to go to work.

      I ate too quickly and couldn’t bear it, so I coughed a few times and swallowed hard.

    “Dad…” Lu Zizai sat up sleepily on the bed, seeing his father eating steamed buns in the kitchen, his sleepiness suddenly disappeared.

    The child blinked ignorantly.

    “Dad, are the buns hard to eat?”

    Snorted in panic, watching her son running towards him with bare feet, Lu Ying took a few steps forward and mentioned him, “A surprise for you.”

    “Really?” Lu Zizai’s slap touched Lu Ying’s slightly warm face, Lu Ying smiled: “You close your eyes first.”

    “Hmmmm!”

    He picked up his son and came to the window, raised the curtains, “Open your eyes and take a look.”

    The snow-white world greets the child’s eyes.

    “Look how beautiful it is outside.”

    “Wow, a lot of snow!” Lu Zizai was attracted by the world in front of him, and his face was almost pressed to the window glass: “Dad, can we make a snowman and have a snowball fight?”

    “Of course you can. This year’s snow is very heavy, and we rarely have such heavy snow in Caifeng City. The first day of the new year is really a good sign.”

    “Right wow, it snowed last year, but no snowman was built. It also snowed before, but it melted quickly.” Lu Zizai asked annoyed: “Dad, then we still have today. Going to the amusement park?”

    Lu Ying told him regretfully: “If the snow is too heavy, the open-air projects of the amusement park will be suspended. Can we go again next time?”

    Lu Zizai was not disappointed, instead he smiled and hugged his father’s neck: “Then father will take me to play in the snow today!”

    “No problem. You’ll sleep a little longer, and Daddy’s going to clean the streets.”

    Lu Zaizai hurriedly shook his head and strongly refused: “No! I don’t want to be at home alone. I want to go out with dad.”

    “But it’s cold outside.”

    “I’m not afraid, I’m going to be with my father, you see my hand was hurt yesterday, I’m so pitiful.”

    “Who said he was a big brother?”

    Lu Zaizai shook his head and emphasized loudly: “I’m not, I’m still a kindergarten baby!”

    Hey, how can it become so sticky after a little injury!

    I know that I can’t beat my son, it’s better than the little guy running out alone after he goes out. Lu Ying pulled out the cotton-padded jacket and trousers at the bottom of the press box, wrapped her son layer by layer, and finally put on a down jacket.

    Lu Ying’s work clothes are luminous, very eye-catching when walking on the street at three or four in the morning. Lu Zizai felt that the clothes were very cool, like a glittering animation hero.

    “Dad, I want something that glows.”

    “This is work clothes, not available.”

    “Then when I grow up and work with my dad, I can be just like you.”

    “Really? It’s not an easy job.”

    “I’m not afraid~”

    “That will make you suffer.”

    Cub Lu jumped and followed behind, stomping on the snow from time to time and making squeaking noises, hardly any vehicles and pedestrians could be seen on the road, the father and son walked hand in hand in the snow, laughing and smashing the snow all the way Ball, cheerful laughter drifted for a long time in the white night.

    I came to the work place unknowingly. The elderly captain was earlier than Lu Ying. The tough old man in his fifties was driving a tricycle to transport salt bags, and he was sweating profusely. The appearance, I am afraid that it has been working for at least more than an hour.

    “Captain Yuan, why are you so early?” Lu Ying hurriedly stepped forward to help him unload the salt bag. The salt bag was 100 jin, and it was heavy on the old man’s shoulders.

    Captain Yuan wiped the sweat from his face: “Why did you bring the child out? It’s such a cold weather, don’t make the child cold and sick. What should I do? I have been paying attention to the heavy snow today, Sure enough, the road was covered with snow. What if I didn’t come out earlier to transport salt bags to melt the snow.”

    “Then you should have informed us earlier, what can you do alone.”

    “Hmph, young man, you still look down on me, well, Uncle Yuan is not convinced by others, so I will obey you.”

    Lu Ying smiled, took out two bags of salt in one hand, and threw them on the cart with ease, not forgetting to tell the curious son next to her, “Cub, this is Grandpa Yuan.”

    “Grandpa Yuan is early.” Lu Zaizai said obediently.

    “That’s good. You hurry to the station on the side of the road. It’s clean and safe. Don’t play on the road.”

    “Cubs go over there, you can build a snowman on the station chairs.”

    Lu Zizai hesitated: “But I still want to help Dad with his work.”

    “Little fool, if you use child labor like you, Dad will be scolded.”

    “Okay then, I’ll go build a snowman. If Dad needs help, call me, and I’ll definitely help you.”

    “Be careful not to get your injured hand.”

    Captain Yuan laughed: “Your boy is really strong and sensible.”

    “Well, he was well-behaved since he was a child.”

    After a while, other employees arrived one after another, and everyone worked together to transport a truckload of salt bags to the road to be sprinkled, causing the snow on the street to melt quickly. It’s been cold these few days, and there is less garbage on the street than usual, but today’s heavy snow accumulation greatly increased the workload. Usually, Lu Ying can finish work in four hours at the slowest. Today, there is still a lot of work to do until almost nine o’clock in the morning. Vehicles are already speeding on the road, and pedestrians are like weaving.

    Lu Ying shook her head, continued to shovel snow with a shovel, and looked at her son who was playing next to her from time to time. The spirit of this kid is really good, he got up in the middle of the night and still plays with enthusiasm and tireless.

    “Aren’t you afraid of being late and deducting money?” Captain Yuan was anxious for him.

    Lu Ying stopped, rested with a shovel with one hand, and tugged at the clothes behind her with the other hand, and dried them for several hours.

    “No. Was fired yesterday.”

    “What? How can I be fired?” Captain Yuan exclaimed.

    Lu Ying said simply: “Yesterday afternoon, the supervisor called me to tell me that the resignation letter was rejected by the manager, and in turn dismissed me. The reason is that I was absent from work yesterday and my salary was not paid last month. “

    “It’s unreasonable, what kind of manager is this, if you don’t get paid for your work, you go to the labor department to apply for that kind of arbitration to sue him! A month’s hard work is only two or three thousand fast, why not a penny Give it. Don’t be afraid, the big deal is that we old people will help you to ask for it, and I don’t believe that she dares not give it. “

    “If you don’t pay for work, it will be struck by lightning!”

    This group of colleagues who sweep the streets was outraged and helped Lu Ying come up with ideas.

    Lu Ying reassured: “Thank you, I will definitely get my salary back. I can do it alone.”

    “Don’t take everything by yourself, if you can’t, just call us!”

    “Definitely.”

    “Dad, I’ll help you sweep the floor.”

      Everyone laughed and praised him for his ability, Lu Ying let him go, rubbed his hands, and the father and son worked together.

    Around 1:00 noon, the snow on the street was finally swept away, and everyone was so tired that they could not straighten their backs, and went back to their homes after get off work in grief. Lu Ying was terribly hungry, and Lu Zizai was even more listless and pitiful, who could fall asleep at any time.

    After going home for dinner, Lu Ying dragged her dozing son to take a bath in the outside bathhouse. The winter clothes are not easy to dry. He usually only washes it once every two or three days. Washing in the bathroom was a bit unpleasant, and every time Lu Zizai was done with a whimper.

    There is a hidden bathhouse next to the community, and tenants who are reluctant to use household electricity and water choose to go to the bathhouse. Five yuan for adults and three yuan for children, all of which are separate compartments. When the boss saw Lu Ying bringing the child, he arranged a slightly larger bathroom.

    Lu Ying is fully equipped, including large and small towels, travel-sized shampoo, shower gel, children’s cream, and a large plastic tub.

    “Wow wow wow it’s so hot, so hot, I’m about to cook it!” After spraying the shower, Lu Zizai began to perform the loach dance with a loud voice.

    …

    Lu Ying rolled her eyes and poured water into the basin: “It’s hot where it’s hot! It’s better to wash with cold water if it’s cooler.”

& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; “Woohoo, I have to wash it with Ultraman pot.” Lu Cuba shrunk in the corner and slowly scrubbed.

    Lu Ying ignores him: “Whatever you want.”

    Lu Zaizai slowly grumbled, splashing water for a while and Biubiu waving a towel to transform, and almost fell on his back. Lu Ying gasped for breath, and gently pinched his ears: “Every time you take you out for a bath, you’re skinny. If you get your wound wet, you deserve it.”

     “Don’t be angry, Dad, I won’t move.” Lu Zizai immediately pretended to be good: “Dad, I’ll help you take a bath.”

    “Take you down.”

    “Dad, the mark on your belly has turned red.” Lu Zizai was very miraculous and reached out to touch Lu Ying’s lower abdomen. Usually the scar is pale pink, but now the hot water runs He deepened the color, “It feels slippery to the touch, like a small fish, hehe, it’s fun.” The little hand poked around.

    Lu Ying pushed away her son’s little hand and hummed softly.

    “The little fish has grown into you.”

    The big pig’s hoof made me ugly, and I was born at an early age!

    Thinking of Mrs. Qin yesterday and the past, the hot water ruthlessly washed her body, causing Lu Ying’s eyes to turn red.

    Lu Ying’s emotions were still tense when she walked out of the bathroom, and her blushing son followed behind with the Ultraman bathtub.

    “Dad, my socks are disobedient and tucked into my shoes, help me fix them.”

    Lu Ying bowed her head and bent over to help him pull out the edge of his socks. The moment he got up, he seemed to feel something. Someone was following him in the dark, but the feeling disappeared when he looked up.

    Lu Ying took her son and raised her vigilance.

    In the office, the assistant made Qin Zhuopu a cup of oolong tea. Qin Zhuopu didn’t even look at it, and only stared at the computer screen.

    High-definition photos flashed across the screen, and the protagonists were all alone.

    When it’s not too long, there will be a bang.

    The assistant came in tremblingly and saw that the teacup was broken into several pieces.

    The boss turned his back to the person and stood by the window smoking a cigarette.
