3. A new life
When Lu Li woke up, he found that something was licking his face.
It tastes weird.
When I opened my eyes, it was a pink tongue. And the owner of the tongue is a yellow dog. The one holding the dog was the little boy who asked him last night, and Lu Li remembered that Qi Ji called him Xuanxuan.
The little boy called out to Qi Ji's father.
The child's big eyes and the yellow dog's small eyes were staring at him like they were looking at aliens.
Lu Li sat up and found that his body was greasy and uncomfortable after not taking a bath for a few days, and he didn't know what to say to the child.
"Dad said, you are Uncle Lu, are you the uncle who came to our town to work?" Xuan Xuan said curiously: "Uncle Lu, this is Xiao Huang, my father and I picked it up at the beach last year, he seems to like you very much, he hasn't licked me." ”
Lu Li recognized Xiao Huang as a Chinese pastoral dog, which is what many people call a soil dog: "He is very cute." Lu Li smiled rarely. Xiao Huang was very cleanly groomed, looked less than a year old, had round eyes, and looked at him with his tongue out.
"Uncle Lu, have you ever had a dog, Xiao Huang always barks when he sees strangers coming to my house, but he doesn't call you yes. My dad said that people who have ever owned a dog will have a special smell on their body, and the dog will know that it is their best friend. Xuan Xuan's eyes narrowed, touching Xiao Huang's head, Xiao Huang also looked up at him, and he kissed Xiao Huang's little nose of the black tide.
"I have two sheepdogs. Lu Li said. It's just that he quickly thought of his current situation and changed his words: "I used to have two sheepdogs. ”
"Ah, really, where are they, can you bring them to be friends with Xiao Huang? Xiao Huang only likes to play with me, and he is not good with other people's dogs. Xuan Xuan was excited when he heard this, and asked anxiously.
Lu Li smiled: "He's not with me now, they already have a new master." ”
"Then they'll be very sad. Dad said that dogs are the most loyal, and they will cry if their owners treat them badly or don't want them. So I obediently play with Xiao Huang every day. “
Lu Li smiled bitterly and didn't know how to answer.
Fortunately, children always want to come out of the way: "So Uncle Lu, what is the name of your sheepdog? My little yellow is called Xiao Huang, hehe." ”
"One of them is called Fifi and the other is called Snickers. ”
"Snickers, is that delicious peanut chocolate sold in Qin's mother's store?"
"Well, yes. ”
Xuan Xuan was already holding his face and thinking about the deliciousness of Snickers.
At this time, Qi Ji took a tray of breakfast, came in from outside, and saw a big and a small dog chatting cordially, and he was happy. glanced at Lu Li, who had obviously slept and still had no blood on his face, but his face was much better than yesterday: "Come up and eat when you wake up." ”
When the son and the yellow dog saw the food, they followed Qi Ji up the stairs with a snort.
Lu Li hurriedly called out to the people: "Qi ...... Boss, can I take a shower at your place?"
"Come on. ”
"I didn't have a change of clothes. Lu Li whispered.
At this time, Xuan Xuan, who had climbed half of the stairs, suddenly lowered his head and said to Lu Li very seriously from the railing of the stairs: "It's okay, my dad has 7 pairs of underwear, it's no problem to borrow one from you." I'll get it for you!"
Lu Li was said to be blushing all of a sudden.
Qi Ji's hearty laughter came from upstairs.
The little ghost took two steps and turned his head and said, "Uncle Lu, we still have a big pool for bathing at home, hehehe, it's comfortable......
The second floor of the garage is where the husband and son live, and a large terrace. Because it is connected by three shops, the second floor is particularly spacious, and it is a large room with direct access to the window, so the light is very good. Only the bathroom in the room is separated, there is a large bed, some cabinets and bookshelves with paint off, but Xuan Xuan's small desk for homework is colorful and new. Xuan Xuan packed his things very well, a small schoolbag with a kettle, and a small bag. Looks like I'm going to need it for school later.
The door of the house faced the terrace, and when the sliding door opened, the house and the terrace were connected. Exceptionally bright.
Lu Li saw Qi Ji set up the folding table on the terrace and put breakfast on it, and he didn't know where to conjure up three folding small stools.
Xuan Xuan took off his slippers and entered the room, pulling out a few plastic boxes from under the bed with his head down, rummaging through them. Xiao Huang squatted at the door of the sliding door very obediently, watching the movement here. When the wind blew, and a simple shell wind chime hanging at the door jingled, Xiao Huang looked up very seriously, stuck out his tongue to look at the wind chime, and then looked at the little master in the house.
"Uncle Lu, this is for you. Xuan Xuan didn't know when he was standing in front of Lu Li, holding a pile of clothes in his hands, as well as a new toothbrush and towel.
"You...... Really capable. Lu Li rubbed Xuan Xuan's head, his heart was soft.
Lu Li looked around on the terrace. It's very, very beautiful. From the terrace, you can see the fishing boats and the sea, and you can see the other side of the bay, where he used to be home.
……
Lu Li finally took a comfortable hot bath.
Qi Ji's bathroom had a tiled pool, which was broken in a few places, and a few tiles fell off. The edge of the pool is full of children's toys, and I think Xuanxuan should like it very much.
After Lu Li took a bath, he was wearing some big sweatpants and a thin sweater, hugging his dirty clothes, and found that only Qi Ji was on the terrace, smoking a cigarette with Erlang's legs crossed, looking in the direction of the sea in a daze.
Hearing that he came out, he turned his head and looked back and forth twice, and said, "Just throw the clothes in the bucket in the bathroom, and Mother Qin will help us wash them." ”
"Uh, my clothes aren't machine washable. Lu Li looked down at the dirty clothes he was holding.
I only saw Qi Ji raise his head and said lightly: "We don't have such a thing as a washing machine here." ”
When Lu Li was eating breakfast, his hair was comfortably dried by the sun. When he looked up, he saw Qi Ji looking at him with a smile in his eyes.
"You are really Lu Jingyun's son. ”
"......" Lu Li stuffed buns into his mouth.
"What do you plan to do in the future? are you going to hide here for the rest of your life?" Qi Ji asked.
"Helping my dad find a lawyer, I borrowed 1 million loan sharks. Sooner or later, they will find me. Lu Li confessed: "I can't hide here, I'll go somewhere else." ”
Qi Ji's face turned cold when he heard this: "What do you mean by borrowing usury?"
“…… I won't bother you, you're right, you can't go to the market to sell, the money will come quickly. Lu Li smiled bitterly. He felt that Qi Ji's family was good people, and he didn't want to burden them and was ready to be driven away.
It's just that Qi Ji's face was cold for a while, and he suddenly looked at him informally: "Tut, you said that you can't repair the car, and it's useless to ask you, but my son lacks a mother, if you are his mother, I can still consider it......"
Chi Guoguo's teasing, Lu Li glared, knowing that Qi Ji was joking, and said casually: "Okay, the dowry is 1 million." ”
Qi Ji slowly spit out the cigarette in his mouth, and Lu Li had already lowered his head and continued to drink seafood porridge.
"At night, you go next door to be a helper, things will be done slowly learned, Uncle Guang is a cook, loud but very good, cooking is delicious, at the door Mr. Hong helps me sell lottery tickets and collects money by the way is the mascot of our store, no matter how old you used to be, you must respect him. Also, we have a small place here, and you have to go if you bring in some kind of underworld loan sharks. Understood?" Qi Ji finished smoking a cigarette and was about to light the next one.
He was about to go downstairs to work, and he couldn't smoke in the garage, and he couldn't smoke in front of his son.
"Ahem, cough, cough," Lu Li on the other side covered his mouth and coughed.
Qi Ji thought that he had eaten and grabbed a cigarette, so he continued to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog. It's just that after a long time, I found that the person on the other side was still coughing with his mouth covered.
"Hey......" Qi Ji didn't take the cigarette to shoot someone, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he quickly extinguished the cigarette.
When the smoke cleared, he saw that Lu Li's face was coughing red.
"Hey, young master, don't scare me, your life is a hundred times more valuable than me and my son combined, I can wait for your father to release it, so I can tie you up and ask for ransom to make a fortune and become a local tyrant." ”
Lu Li gasped for a while, his eyes coughed up tears, and he finally felt better.
"You can't smell the smoke? "Qi Ji is cowardly.
Lu Li thought about it and just shook his hand: "It's not so delicate, it's just that I'm choking on food." “
Qi Ji frowned, and at first glance, it was that person who was reckless.
Lu Li had already pointed to a seagull standing on the railing behind him, with a curious look and some surprise on his face: "Seagull ...... It's the first time I've seen him so close. “
"They smell the fragrance and come. You didn't see it when you lived across the street?"
"My dad hated that they were too noisy, so he installed ultrasound ...... to repel birds at home."
Qi Ji froze, and suddenly didn't know whether to say that rich people really hurt when they have too much money, or whether to think they were ridiculous and pathetic.
……
During the long days, Qi Ji let him sleep for a while and feel that his body was all hard work at night. Then I went downstairs to get busy.
Lu Li just sat on the terrace, basking in the sun for a day and facing the sea all day.
Qi Ji came up a few times in the middle, once calling him to eat, and once going to the toilet.
Seeing Lu Li's stunned appearance, he didn't bother to care. Fortunately, Xiao Huang is very well-behaved, and has been going around Lu Li all the time, silently accompanying him.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xuan Xuan returned. Xiao Huang rushed downstairs for the first time.
Lu Li knew that it was time to go to work, and when he went downstairs, he saw Xuan Xuan looking up and chatting with a middle-aged woman in her forties and fifties.
Lu Li heard his name from afar, and Lu Li saw Qi Ji lying under a car in the garage and was busy with something. Out of the garage, the woman saw him and her voice stopped at once.
"Mother Qin, this is Uncle Lu, he is very good-looking. Do you think Sister Shui will like him?" Xuan Xuan was holding a ham sausage in his hand, holding one hand to the side, and Xiao Huang sat there obediently and ate happily.
The woman was wearing a floral sweater, fat pants, and her hair was the kind of short curls that middle-aged women like the most everywhere, and her face was flushed, and she looked very good and full of energy.
"Qin ...... Hello Auntie. Lu Li pondered for a while and felt that he couldn't follow him to call his mother, so he called Auntie.
"Oh, you're just the new one to help, where are you from, how old are you, what do your parents do, why did you come to our little place?"
Lu Lizheng was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
Qi Ji didn't know when he was standing behind him.
"Mother Qin, didn't I tell you last time that I knew Brother Lu when I was in the city before, who was in the tire business, this is his cousin, he was only in junior high school at that time, you see that they are all so old now. ”
Qi Ji was covered in dirty oil, and he didn't know if it was engine oil or his sweat on his body.
The smile on Qin's mother's face was half less when she heard this: "Oh, it's the one who later said that you couldn't do business and opened a noodle shop next to the train station?"
Qi Ji nodded: "It's him, that Lu San'er." This is Lu Li, this kid is good-looking, but he has no ability, this Brother Lu can't stand it, so send me here to exercise, you just call him Xiaolu. Ouch, Qin's mother eats ham sausages for Xiaohuang again, this dog is more expensive than humans, no wonder it is not delicious to feed him during the day, it seems that he is thinking about Qin's mother's ham sausage every day. ”
Qi Ji saw the disappointment on Qin's mother's face, and hurriedly said something nice.
gave Lu Li a look, and Lu Li went back with him.
After taking two steps, Lu Li definitely heard Qin's mother complain to Xuan Xuan with a little sadness: "Hey, it's rare to see such a beautiful boy, exactly the same as the protagonist in the Korean drama I watched." Xuan Xuan, do you still remember the drama you watched with Qin's mother last time, that handsome guy? ”
Xuan Xuan thought for a while and said, "Are you talking about that Korean small-eyed uncle? I think Uncle Lu and my father are good-looking." ”
Children always tell the truth.
So the woman was even more distressed: "Oh, you said that the path is so good, it should be like the down-and-out prince who came to our town in the TV series, and then my daughter can fall in love with her at first sight, marry into a wealthy family, and turn a sparrow into a phoenix...... And then the handsome guy's dad happens to be single again......"
"Ouch, in broad daylight, you old woman can daydream with a child? Xuanxuan, let's go, Uncle Guang will make you something to eat, stay away from this woman, be careful that you will also be infected in the future." Suddenly, another middle-aged man's voice with a loud voice sounded.
The woman's previous nymphomaniac's tone came to an abrupt end, and suddenly became bitter: "Hmph, you bad old man said who is the old woman, my daughter is beautiful and good at studying, and she will definitely find me a golden beetle son-in-law in the future!
"Yo, it's good that your daughter in Red Sea Town is good-looking and can study, I don't know who went to my house every day to find my son to tutor your daughter, and without my son, your daughter could be admitted to X University?" The man was also mean, and his voice raised several degrees.
"Hmph, my daughter scored 630 points in the exam that year, X University, 211 in the country, do you know what 211 is? The best university, what about your son, and said that he was admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, but in the end he didn't even get into X University, and S University is an ordinary focus!" The woman was not to be outdone. Straight to the man's sore spot.
"I ...... I...... I sue you, if it weren't for your daughter pestering my son every day to ask this and that question, my son would have already been Tsinghua University, I didn't settle accounts with you, you would have said me first!" the man was unhappy, so his voice was a few degrees higher.
"Hmph, my son is incompetent, blame me? Come on, come on, let's judge ...... theory"
In the garage, Lu Li was curious and worried when he heard the noise of Uncle Guang and Qin's mother outside for the first time, he had never seen anyone make such a fuss on the street in his life.
Qi Ji beside him saw that his face was red and white for a while, and he casually touched the sweat on his face: "Get used to it, they are happy to be enemies, they have been arguing for seven or eight years, and the theme is different every day, but they have to quarrel every day." Basically, Uncle Qin's mother and uncle started to quarrel, and that is when you should go to work next door. Today, you listen to your Uncle Guang first, and I'll come over when I'm done with my work. "Oh. Lu Li nodded. But seeing that Qi Ji had just wiped it casually on his face, a black patch was rubbed on his forehead. Lu Li frowned, and instinctively raised his hand to help him wipe it off.
"Hey, what are you doing. Qi Ji raised his hand vigilantly to block the hand that suddenly stretched out.
"A black ...... on your head"
"Oh it's okay, it's dirty here, let him go. "Qi Ji doesn't care. The hand was put down, but Lu Li's hand still touched his forehead.
Lu Li was shorter than him, so he tilted his head slightly, his face was so close to him, Qi Ji only felt that this man's skin was whiter than a woman's, delicate and tender, that face was serious, his good-looking lips were slightly long, and his breath was sprayed on his face. Qi Ji held his breath and secretly swallowed his saliva.
Lu Li's soft white flowers swayed in front of him, and it took a while to finish wiping them.
Qi Ji couldn't move, and heard Lu Li look at the black stains wiped off his hands and say: "Our family believes in feng shui physiognomy very much in business, and the master said that the seal hall must not be black, there will be bad luck." Uh, I'm going to wash my hands. “
Qi Ji stopped the person and shouted: "Hey, when Uncle Guang asks them later, you will say what I just said." Everyone here is begging for ...... I don't like your dad, don't make trouble for yourself. It's the "road" of the road, not the "land" of the nasty. Understood?"
Qi Ji spoke rarely softly.
