Pastoral Daily Life - Chapter 168

    The primary school that Lu Lingxi attended was located in Jing’an District of Zhongjing. It was the summer vacation and there were no students in the school, so it was very quiet.

    The two were stopped by the old man who was the gatekeeper at the gate of the school. Lu Lingxi came forward to say hello obediently, saying that he was a student here before and came back to have a look. He and Yan Yue were both good looking, and they didn’t look like bad people at that station. The old man glanced at them vigilantly, asked Lu Lingxi’s name again, and waved them in.

    “Thank you uncle.” Lu Lingxi thanked with a smile, dragged Yan Yue and ran in.

    Looking at Lu Lingxi’s smile, the old man couldn’t help laughing too. He thought this child was quite likable, but the name seemed a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere. Where is it? When people get old, their memory is not good. The old man seriously wrote down the words of visitor Lu Lingxi on the blackboard at the door, turned his head and went back to the hut to read the newspaper.

    A few minutes later, the principal of the school personally sent Lu Guangjing to the school gate. Lu Guangjing contacted the school some time ago and planned to donate to build an indoor stadium here. The school welcomes donations from the outside world. The principal personally accompanied Lu Guangjing to visit the school several times. The school is not clear about the Lu family, but I vaguely heard that the children of the Lu family went to school here 11 years ago, and then dropped out due to physical reasons. Now that the child has passed away, the family hopes to do something to commemorate the child.

    “Mr. Lu, don’t worry about the stadium, I’ll call you when I make arrangements here…”

    The principal suddenly closed his mouth in the middle of speaking. He found that Lu Guangjing seemed to have seen something, and was staring at the small blackboard hanging on one side of the wall, his expression was a little wrong. The principal followed and looked over, and the words “Lu Lingxi” came into view. He was slightly taken aback, isn’t that the name of the child who died in the Lu family?

    The principal was stunned, Lu Guangjing turned around in despair, and said in a low voice, “I’ll go first.”

    The principal wanted to ask what happened to Lu Lingxi, but he felt that Lu Guangjing’s son had passed away, and it was a bit ugly for him to be on the pole like this. , signaling the driver to go first.

    Sending off Lu Guangjing, the principal couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked the old man at the door, who is this Lu Lingxi? As soon as the old man described it, the age was right, and the experience of going to school here before, not to mention the same name and surname, the principal’s face immediately turned white.

      In recent days, the name Lu Lingxi has appeared very frequently in the Lu family’s old house. Even when he lived outside, he heard rumors in the old house about his father’s other son and grandson. Lu Guangjing doesn’t care about business matters. He just occasionally thinks of the child with the same name as Xiaoxi. He can’t help but wonder what would happen now if nothing happened to Xiaoxi a year ago? Too bad there is no if in this world.

     Halfway through the car, Lu Guangjing opened his eyes and said, “Let’s go to Li’s house.”

    The driver simply turned a corner, took advantage of Lu Guangjing to give him a sympathetic look, and the servants at home were saying that Mrs. Lu was crazy and was mad at the eldest young master. Now Taken home by her mother. The driver thought about it, if the little brat in the family dares to be so unfilial in the future, let’s see if he doesn’t break the brat’s legs. The driver thought he was hiding, but Lu Guangjing noticed it. Lu Guangjing laughed at himself, this driver just came to the Lu family, and he didn’t know what happened to the Lu family.

    All the way to Li’s house, Li Caiying’s eldest brother Li Yao happened to be there. He was not polite to Lu Guangjing, “What are you doing here? I have arranged for a lawyer to send you a lawyer’s letter. Caiying wants to divorce you. Prepare yourself.”

    Lu Guangjing whispered: “I won’t divorce, it’s my responsibility that Caiying becomes like this, I…”

    “Whose responsibility is irrelevant now.” Li Yao interrupted him, “I know my sister, she has a problem with her own personality and is too paranoid. It was a happy life outside, so I persuaded her to get a divorce, but she insisted on having a child to tie you up. Later, Wei An was born prematurely, and her spirit was not right. When Wei An fell ill, Caiying felt even more right. Living in Wei’an, all the mother’s love is invested in Wei’an. Over the years, the Li family has only watched Caiying around Wei’an, but did not realize that her spirit has become more and more paranoid. late.”

    He glanced at Lu Guangjing a bit meanly when he said this, “Now don’t say you want to take care of Caiying, to be honest, I don’t trust you. No matter how many mistakes Caiying has done over the years, back then When I married you, I always ran to live a good life with you. But what about you? I won’t talk about what happened in the past. Later, if you pay attention to Caiying’s emotions, she will not become what she is now. “

    “I…”

    “You don’t need to explain.” Li Yao followed closely: “Xiaoxi died, I know you are very sad.” He paused, and said: “…Xiaoxi is a good boy, and now he can be regarded as a good boy. Ying’s retribution.”

    Li Yao sighed, Lu Guangjing trembled in his heart, “Wei An…”

    “Don’t talk to me about Wei’an.” Li Yao’s face froze, “Caiying is sorry for Xiaoxi, but there is nothing wrong with Wei’an. Since Wei’an thinks that his life after so many years is better than death, It was Caiying’s obsession that forced him to live, so the Li family and him have nothing to say.”

    “I…”

    “Okay, you can go.”

    Li Yao interrupted Lu Guangjing again and ordered the housekeeper to send Lu Guangjing out. The Li family no longer wanted to have anything to do with the Lu family. After sending Lu Guangjing away, Li Yao turned around and went to Li Caiying’s room. The doctor said that Caiying had just taken a sedative and fell asleep. Li Yao looked at his sister’s pale and thin face and sighed deeply. He didn’t know how Caiying made life like this. The eldest son, who took heart and lungs, was a white-eyed wolf, and the younger son, who was well-behaved and sensible, died early. The man she has captured all her life is a useless person, and she has become paranoid and crazy since she was middle-aged. If she had known that this day would come, would she still look at Lu Guangjing and insist on marrying into the Lu family?

    No one can answer Li Yao’s question.

    Lu Guangjing stood at the door of Li’s house and took a last look, then hunched over and got into the car again. Caiying went crazy, Xiaoxi died, and Wei An was sacrificed by the Lu family as an abandoned child. He originally wanted to come to Li Yao to see if he could find a way to get Wei’an out, but Li Yao… Lu Guangjing couldn’t blame Li Yao for being ruthless, after all Caiying was stimulated by Wei’an. The previous quarrel between Wei’an and Caiying flashed through his mind, Lu Guangjing shrunk in the chair tiredly, he really didn’t know that Wei’an lived with resentment for so many years.

    He and Caiying put so much thought into Wei An, in the end, they selfishly forced Wei An to live, and they were sorry for him. Lu Guangjing really didn’t know what went wrong? Why did Wei An become like this? He still remembered how well-behaved Wei An was when he was a child, and how good his relationship with Caiying was, but in the blink of an eye, everything was not what he remembered.

    After Lu Guangjing got home, there was no one in the house, and even the helper didn’t know where he went. He sat hunched on the sofa and looked at the family portrait hanging on the opposite wall… Soon he would be the only one left in the family.

    On the street not far from the Lu family, Lu Lingxi looked at the Lu family’s house from a distance. He had lived there for eighteen years, and still felt that the house was strangely unfamiliar.

    Yan Yue bought a cup of lemon tea from the cold drink shop on the roadside and handed it to Lu Lingxi, Lu Lingxi took back the lemon tea and said suddenly, “Brother Yan, let’s go back to Fengcheng, I miss Mom already.”

    Yan Yue raised his hand and touched Lu Lingxi’s hair, and said softly, “Okay.”

    The two talked to Ye Kang, went home and simply packed up, and drove away from Zhongjing that afternoon. The expressway from Zhongjing to Fengcheng was full of cars, and the traffic jam was severe. Yan Yue said casually, “I should have come back by high-speed train.”

    Da Hei called out immediately, reminding him of his existence.

    Lu Lingxi laughed, scratched Dahei’s chin soothingly, and called Wang Shuxiu.

    “Mom, Big Brother Yan and I are on our way home. There is a bit of traffic jam on the expressway, and it will probably be evening when we get home.”

    “Why so fast? Didn’t you spend a few more days in Zhongjing?” Wang Shuxiu was a little surprised.

    Lu Lingxi held the phone seriously and said, “I miss my mother.”

    “Little bastard.” Wang Shuxiu laughed and scolded, “What do you want to eat when you come back tonight? I’ll make it for you first.”

    “…want to eat glutinous rice ribs.”

    “OK.”

    Hang up the phone, Wang Shuxiu greeted Xiao Feng with a big belly and went out to buy ribs, if it was too late, there would be no better ribs. Xiao Feng took his wallet and was about to go out. Before leaving, he instructed Wang Shuxiu, “Xiaohua, don’t worry about anything, wait for me to come back to wash rice and clean up.”

    “I know.” Wang Shuxiu gave him an angry look. Xiao Feng smiled and touched Wang Shuxiu’s belly, feeling the movement of the child under his palm, and looked at Wang Shuxiu very tenderly, “Xiaohua, what do you want to eat? I’ll buy it back together.”

    “The refrigerator is full of food, don’t buy it.” Wang Shuxiu stopped.

    Xiao Feng smiled and went out the door, thinking that Xiaohua likes to eat the sauce elbow in front of the street, but Da Hei also came back, and I will buy a few elbows to eat at night. Xiaoxi likes glutinous rice and lotus root, Yan Yue seems to like the braised pork sold in the same store, and also weighs them together, and… He is thinking about what to buy as he walks, all of which are liked by the family.

    Family? Xiao Feng laughed silently. When the child in Xiaohua’s belly was born, he just went to take a family photo again. This time, he also called Yan Yue, yes, and that little black who lost his teeth.

    As if having a tacit understanding, Lu Lingxi was also talking to Yan Yue about taking a family portrait again. “When the little brother is born, we will take pictures. Big Brother Yan, Da Hei, Xiao Hei, we will all be together.”

    “Good.”

    Yan Yue must be fine, Xiao Hei poked his head out of Lu Lingxi’s bag when he heard his name, and tied a knot around Lu Lingxi’s wrist with satisfaction.

    The traffic flow in front restarted, the corners of Yan Yue’s lips curled up, she glanced at Lu Lingxi with a smile, stepped on the accelerator, and drove towards home.
