Chapter 331
"Thank you for sending me back, Mr. Lu, where do you live? Far from here? or...... You can drive the car first, I'm not in a hurry to use it, if you need it, just pick a time to return it to me. ”
After coming out of the movie theater, there was a light snow in the sky, the wipers turned on the slowest gear, sweeping the windshield that had slightly condensed some fog due to the excessive temperature difference, and after the car turned off, two yellow lights lit up, illuminating the small space in the car, the two looked at each other, she looked at Lu Ze's eyes, and said this sentence not reluctantly.
The two chatted quite well all the way, found some familiarity with each other, and it was not embarrassing to get along, after watching the movie, she asked Lu Ze to drive her back to her residence in a vehicle on the grounds that she didn't dare to drive in the snow.
"Jingle bell...... Jingle Bell ....... The car doesn't have to bother, I live not far from here, sorry, I'll answer the phone first, hey? Director Liu...... Long time no see. ”
I don't know if it's a coincidence, here Lu Ze and Gao Peiling just finished watching Liu Ying's new New Year movie, but the director, who should have cut off contact with Lu Ze, unexpectedly took the initiative to contact Lu Ze, which made him feel a little surprised.
"Aze, what are you doing? How have you been resting these past few months?"
"Fortunately, I eat and sleep every day, sleep and eat, I don't have to worry about anything, yesterday I found that I gained five pounds, it's all good, how to ......"
"Have you seen my new movie?The results are good.,It's ideal.,But this film has actually been filmed at the end of September.,It's been delayed until the New Year.,Recently I took a book.,It's very good.,It's itchy to watch.,It's the lack of an assistant director.,You see...... When you've rested enough, get back to work. ”
Everyone knows that Lu Ze is having a hard time now, which everyone in the circle knows, but Liu Ying is still the first one who is really willing to pull Lu Ze along, yes, let Lu Ze act now...... It's more difficult, but it's not impossible to do some chores behind the scenes, at least so that Lu Ze can have a considerable source of income.
Liu Ying's call was completely well-intentioned, and Lu Ze also understood it, but you asked him to return to the crew and not film, and be an assistant director who may only need to train actors, which is still a little difficult for Lu Ze.
After all, when he was filming before, he was just a sapper of the crew, and the director said that he would shoot how he wanted, and rarely expressed his opinions, to put it bluntly, the assistant director's job was slightly beyond his ability, in addition, he has joined the crew for so many years, but whenever the assistant director has an idea to discuss with the director, none of them will not hurt his feelings, and there will definitely be quarrels.
You let Lu Ze enter the group but didn't make some suggestions, he was uncomfortable, and only trained actors, now it is estimated that those actors will not obey him, and they will not stay in the crew smoothly, think about it...... Forget it.
"I appreciate Director Liu with good intentions, I just finished watching the film you made, it's really good, I think there is no problem with you in mastering the crew, I ...... May be a bit redundant. ”
The mobile phone will inevitably leak a little sound, and secondly, the car is quiet, she can clearly hear what the person on the other side of the phone said, she didn't look at Lu Ze, just looked at Lu Ze's eyes from the rearview mirror, these "windows" show not decadence, but a kind of indifference after thinking, but comparing her heart to her heart, let her give up this matter, it will definitely not be an easy decision.
An emotion gradually spreads in the heart, not pity or sympathy, let's say it is distressed...... With the relationship between the two, it hasn't reached that point yet.
In short, this kind of relationship is complex but straightforward, after all, men with stories are always much more attractive than those who are smooth sailing.
Lu Ze's story...... It's not a legend, but it's not that simple, if you let Lu Ze tell the stories that have been recorded on the Internet and have not been recorded, it is estimated that he will not be able to finish it in three days and three nights, he is not a man shrouded in fog, but he has exposed himself all, as if he is saying to people, my story is here, if you want to understand, then come over and listen to me slowly.
Liu Ying's help was rejected by Lu Ze, saying that whether Lu Ze was arrogant or didn't know how to lift, this was something that Gao Peiling now had no right to judge, but she thought in her heart that this man would definitely work hard after coming over the years.
If there was really one word to describe her current inner feelings, maybe she could be called ...... Mother's love is overflowing, for this man who is four years older than her.
After that, the communication on the phone was not listened to by her, but she gently curled the hair with the index finger of her right hand, pulled it twice a little harder, and then let go, and the cycle continued, but her eyes stayed on him in the rearview mirror.
"I'm sorry, I answered the phone, I don't need the car, you're too polite, let's go, I'll send you into the unit, and then I'll leave, and the car will stop here?"
"Uh-oh, that'......"
The two unbuckled their seat belts, Lu Ze handed the key back to her, and walked side by side with her into one of Lu Hua's most upscale residences so far, until it was delivered to the door of the unit, Lu Ze said goodbye and prepared to leave.
"Or ...... It's so cold, thank you for sending me back and come in for a cup of tea?"
Lu Ze glanced at her and saw that her face was slightly red, and he didn't know if it was frozen, but Lu Ze was sure that what she said about going up for a cup of tea was only literal, so he didn't plan to go up, of course, if it wasn't just literal, then he couldn't go up.
"There's no need to drink tea, it's late, I have to go, you go upstairs, goodbye." ”
"Wait a minute, bring a scarf, at least you can withstand the cold, take it, then...... Thank you today, Mr. Lu. ”
Holding the scarf that she had just taken off her neck and still had residual warmth, Lu Ze grinned at the corner of his mouth, nodded at her, and saw her enter the lobby before turning around and leaving.
Lu Ze figured out why she went to the mall just now to buy this black, obviously men's scarf, in fact, she had already thought of what would happen after the movie, so she prepared this scarf for Lu Ze in advance to resist the wind and cold, maybe this is her own cleverness.
Following the children who were going out to set off firecrackers out of the community, Lu Ze lit a cigarette, and when he exhaled, he couldn't tell whether it was smoke or the fog that condensed when he breathed.
In the dim light, on this snowflake night, he tied a thick black scarf, pinched a cigarette butt in one hand, and carried it in the pocket of a down jacket in the other, occasionally like a child, stepping on the snowdrift that people had cleared when the snow had fallen, leaving his mark on the road surface that had already been covered with thin snow.
It wasn't until I met a new energy sharing car that was only popularized in Lvhua last year, scanned the code to unlock the lock, sat in the driver's seat, fastened the seat belt, lowered the window, flicked the cigarette ash, started the car, and drove slowly into the distance.
"Ding-dong......"
I didn't open it for the first time, until I stopped after encountering a red light, took out my mobile phone from my pocket and checked the text message sent by Gao Peiling.
"Mr. Lu, can we continue to contact ......?"
The thumb rubbed twice on the screen of the mobile phone, crossed out the fingerprints left on the screen under the illumination of the light, thought for a while, and only replied with one word.
"Good. ”
turned off his phone, then threw it in front of the windshield, looked at the red light that was counting the seconds, rubbed his stubble chin with his fingers, sighed, waited for the green light to come on, and went to the hotel he had just booked.
......
Of course, blind date is not the main theme of the beginning of a new life, finding a new source of income is, so Lu Ze signed a one-year housing lease contract with the owner of a store house four days later, that is, on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
Fortunately, a tenant in this house took this house of more than 70 square meters to open a café, and finally due to the recession of business, he could only choose to redeem in the end, according to Lu Ze's thinking, it is strange to open a café between large residences, and the business can be good, but it may also have a lot to do with the taste of coffee.
But this also fulfilled Lu Ze, the room generally does not need to be changed, only need to paint the white wall with dark blue latex paint, and then buy some refrigerators and wooden seats to get it all, it is very simple, just to save money, the work of painting latex paint has to be done by yourself.
"Brother, no, no, my hands are sore, you can help, I can't move. ”
Hearing Lu Nan's shout, Lu Ze hurriedly walked over, for fear that she would scratch the wall she had worked so hard to paint, took the roller, and dipped the paint in the latex paint bucket.
Lu Nan is still on vacation, and it just happens that he has just painted it here, which is very simple, Lu Ze asked his sister to do a hard job, the kind that does not pay a salary.
I don't feel tired at all when I fly up and down around the wall when I'm naughty, but I get strained as soon as I work, and Lu Nan, who brushes less than one meter in half a day, is not surprised.
"Brother, the paint fell off my head, ah!! sticky hair, can this thing be washed off? I only found out when it was dry, what should I do!"
"I should be able to, I cut my hair if I can't wash it off, it's okay. ”
"I ......"
Lu Nan glared at his own brother and swallowed the dirty words back, otherwise this big brother who had never practiced taekwondo might not kick out his two teeth with a whirlwind leg.
As if he hadn't heard, he shook his hands as if he had no bones, walked to the mirror left by the café owner, tore the newspaper stuck to it, and pulled at his hair, which had been dyed blue.
"Is the boss there? It's the plaque you ordered, right? You're Lu ...... Land..... Lu ......"
Lu Ze's fame in Lu Hua is bigger than anywhere else, from an eighty-year-old lady to a child in kindergarten, it is not a new thing to recognize Lu Ze, and Lu Ze is not surprised that this big brother who makes a plaque recognizes himself.
"Yes, big brother, come in and sit down, smoke a cigarette? ”
"Brother, did you make the plaque? I'll see if it looks good. ”
"Come back! The boss is still here, so you can't wait? Sit honestly, don't go, go to the supermarket next door to buy two bottles of water and buy a box of cigarettes. ”
Hearing Lu Ze's reprimand, Lu Nan didn't do anything, but was so frightened that the eldest brother who installed the plaque almost swallowed the cigarette butt, and hurriedly waved his hand, showing a somewhat nervous smile that was not good-looking.
"Out of the way...... My apprentice is cleaning up outside, go and see, it's okay, if you're not satisfied, I'll pull it back and change it, and I'll get it back for you tomorrow. ”
Lu Ze really didn't expect this big brother to be so polite, the two kept greetings, Lu Nan also controlled the desire to take a look first, or obeyed Lu Ze's words and bought something back.
may be nervous, the eldest brother finished smoking and said that he had to start working for everything, Lu Ze really couldn't stop it, so he could only help hold the ladder and watch the plaque fixed directly above the door little by little, about three hours later, it was completely completed, and then gently pulled it open, and the cloth covered on the plaque.
Lu Nan watched the words on the plaque reveal little by little, his mouth opened wider and wider, turned his head to look at Lu Ze with a satisfied face, and pointed to the plaque again.
"Brother...... The name is a little bit ticked, right?"
"Yes? I think it's good, it's quite relatable. ”
"Hmm..... Hehe...... Hehe. ”
Seeing that Lu Ze was so satisfied, Lu Nan didn't say much, just looked at the six bright big characters "Brother Lu Beer House" on the plaque, and showed a stiff smile
