Chapter 42: Leaving Home (End of Volume 1)

A person, when you have the strength yourself, whether it is poisonous chicken soup or chicken soup for the soul, there will always be people who praise it. On the contrary, when you don't have the strength, no matter what you say right or wrong, there will always be people stepping on it.

Some people often fantasize that if they have as much money as Jack Ma, do they just say what industry will make money, and there will be a bunch of people rushing to that industry. Lu Tao is now in such a state in the eyes of his relatives.

When it comes to reading, no one present may be as good as him, but if he really wants to buy a house in the provincial capital within a year, no one believes it, and he will only think that he is stupid and out of reality.

"Lu Tao, your breath is not small, do you know how much more than 100,000 is money?" When Lu Tao came out of the house with a pot of stewed vermicelli with pig's trotters, the eldest uncle looked at Lu Tao with a smile.

Seeing everyone's disbelief and slight mockery, Lu Tao didn't bother to argue with these people, and waited until next year to earn money, and then let them take a look. It's not necessary to pretend to be a prisoner, and there's no need to slap your face. After all, these people belong to the category where you rush to praise you when you are rich, do superficial work when you are poor, and secretly don't know how to arrange you. Of course, it doesn't mean that family affection doesn't exist, it's just that in the face of money, people who are poor and afraid are always weaker for family affection.

The house is very dilapidated, and there is no entertainment, after a meal, sit and chat for a while, and basically plan to leave.

Usually at this time, if a family has a child studying, they will give some money, which can be regarded as a help.

This kind of thing is naturally more suitable to be an aunt, there is no blood relationship, and it is up to her to show that she does not treat Lu Tao's family as an outsider, and secondly, it is also a hidden symbol of being in charge of family finances.

"Lu Tao, my aunt hasn't made any money outside with your uncle in the past two years, so you can use the 50 yuan to buy some fruit and drinks on the road. Zhang Ju took out 50 from his pocket and stuffed it into Lu Tao's arms.

Lu Dayou has always been strict with his son's education, this is all human affection, no matter what, he will have to pay it back in the future, and he looks uncomfortable.

"What money to give, really, every year. ”

"Second brother, this is all for my nephew as an aunt, don't speak. Zhang Ju glared at Lu Dayou directly.

Lu Tao didn't want it either, so he excused himself, but he still couldn't accept it.

"Thank you, aunt. ”

Talking is just a matter of face, eating people with short mouths, taking people with short hands, and thanking a few times can be regarded as making favors in advance.

Several uncles also gave 20 yuan each, and then left one after another.

Since Lu Tao is going to leave early tomorrow morning, he has to be busy preparing.

"Tao'er, you can take these crispy meats with you on the road to eat. Mother kept stuffing things into Lu Tao's backpack.

"There are also these salted duck eggs, I heard that it is more expensive to buy things on the train, these duck eggs do not contain feed or anything, healthy and nutritious. ”

"I also brought this grapefruit, and I was thirsty on the road to quench my thirst, all of which were my own, and they were not heavy. ”

Mom kept saying that Lu Tao in his previous life had also experienced it, he was not very old at the time, he had a very strange temper, he always didn't like his mother like this, he felt too troublesome and too verbose, and now that he thinks about it, he only feels how ignorant he was at that time.

"Okay, Mom, don't bring too much, it's not very convenient to transfer cars on the road. Lu Tao said.

"That's just a lot of things, anyway, if you take the car, you don't need to carry it. Tomorrow to the town this mountain road, let your dad send you, he has the strength. “

Lu Tao had a smile on his face, and his heart was warm.

Early the next morning, Lu Tao got up, and after cleaning up, his mother had already made a table of dishes, and he couldn't even see some vegetables except meat.

Lu Tao watched his sister get up too, and couldn't help but say, "Sister, you have to study hard at school, and tell my brother if you have no money." “

My sister pouted: "Brother, you are still studying, can you give it to me if you have no money?" “

"You girl, you will raise the bar with your brother. Lu Tao patted her head lightly.

"Mom, Dad, you have to pay attention to your body at home, and don't take the work in the field too seriously. After finishing speaking, my sister told my parents again.

"I know, I know, what are you doing when you are a child worrying about the affairs of adults, just study your books well, find a good job in the future, and help Lan'er. ”

Lu Tao grinned and said, "Mom, I know." ”

"If you don't hurry up and eat, you won't be able to catch up with the car to the provincial capital for a while. Although Lu Dayou was also a little reluctant, he still urged on the side.

Because the town is not big, and remote, the bus to the provincial capital is only two times a day, one is ten o'clock in the morning, one is four o'clock in the afternoon, if you go late, you have to take other cars, the price is several times more expensive.

"You, one day, you know what you are used to your son, crying and crying. Seeing that Liu Zhihui's eyes were a little moist and there were faint teardrops, Lu Dayou shouted.

"What about me, didn't you also say last night that I should get more pocket money for Tao'er. “

Lu Dayou, who was pierced, smiled awkwardly, reached out and put the sausage from the plate directly into Lu Tao's bowl, and said, "If you go to the provincial capital, you have to go to your uncle to get a ticket, but you can't delay it any longer." ”

"Xiao Hei, take a good look at home at home. As if sensing that Lu Tao was leaving, Xiao Hei wagged his tail, whined in his mouth, and spread out four small hooves around Lu Tao's feet.

"Wang. ”

After eating, when Lu Tao followed his father to the back of the house, he looked at his mother who was leaning against the neem tree, and his sister next to him.

"Sister, go home on the weekend to help your parents do some work, and our family will be fine after this year." Mom, you should pay more attention to your body at home, remember to go to see it when you are sick, and don't be reluctant to spend money. “

"Mom doesn't know this yet, you, pay attention outside, people outside can be cunning, beware of being deceived. ”

After saying this, his eyes turned red again: "Tao'er, if you miss your mother in the future, call your mother more." “

As the footsteps went away, the figures of his mother and sister became shorter and shorter, and Lu Tao kept turning back, and the figure that was already a little rickety made him never forget it for a long time.

"Dad, you have to have a good relationship with your mother at home, but you can't quarrel. Along the way, Lu Tao kept talking.

When we arrived in town, it was about the same time, and the car was parked in front of the town's only postal savings office.

"Tao'er, study hard, in the future, the two of us will rely on you. After putting Lu Tao's bag in the car, Lu Dayou said a word.

"Dad, don't worry. Lu Tao watched his father standing outside the car, staring at him all the time.

The two told each other through the window, and seeing that the car was about to leave, Lu Dayou hurriedly touched it in his jacket pocket, took out two crumpled fifty yuan, and stuffed them directly from the outside window.

"Take it on the road, take the car to buy more water, food, and remember to talk to the family when you get to school. “

"Yes. Lu Tao waved his hand vigorously at his father: "Dad, go back." “

Parting is always a little sad, especially for two lives, Lu Tao's heart is even more emotional at this moment.

Looking at the father's gaze on himself in the back of the car, Lu Tao silently read in his heart: "Dad, Mom, thank you for your hard work." "It's also clearer about what to do when I go to school.

It took more than an hour to get to the provincial capital, and Lu Tao took a bus to his uncle Li Cheng's house to get a ticket. The time was 5:28 p.m., and after refusing the offer of his uncle and aunt to keep him for dinner, he went straight to the train station. In other people's homes, I always feel unaccustomed, although I am a relative, but in fact I am still my aunt's eldest brother, and this relationship is not close. It's better to do less to cause trouble for others.

The waiting room is still crowded with people, Lu Tao's Qing City belongs to a large labor export province, the eighth day of the new year is a good day to go out, and it is a peak period for those who go out to work and study and go to school.

Fortunately, the uncle is quite reliable this time, and I don't know if he took advantage of any relationship to buy a ticket to the imperial capital.
