6. Allergies
Three days. Lu Li is used to the life of working for Qi Ji.
He would be woken up once a day by the sound of Qi Ji opening the rolling door, having breakfast with Xuan Xuan and Yellow Dog, Qi Ji started working, and he was driven upstairs. Qi Ji shouted to him to sleep for a while, but Lu Li couldn't sleep, so he woke up.
He found that it was always sunny here, and for a long time he sat on the terrace and watched the house across the bay bask in the sun, hugging Xiao Huang in a daze. Many times I fell asleep lying there.
And he also deeply understood the reason why his father wanted to install ultrasound to expel seagulls - it was not the first time he was hit by the droppings of seagulls that suddenly flew overhead.
Qi Ji had seen his wolf appearance, and just said sarcastically: "The seagull recognizes people, probably because he knows that you are the owner of the ultrasound on the other side, so he is angry with you?"
Lu Li glared at him, and Qi Ji just held his hands and long legs and casually fiddled out a very handsome posture and said: "You see that Xuan Xuan and I have never been attacked, the seagulls are smart, don't underestimate them." ”
Lu Li could only admit that he was unlucky.
It's really like what Grandpa Hong said, every day when he goes to work, he hears Uncle Guang and Mama Qin arguing downstairs.
The two of them were full of neutrality, and they could probably be heard in a radius of several hundred meters. Lu Li also changed into the clothes he wore for work and went downstairs to help.
After three days of study, I still learned how to set the table, cook rice, wash vegetables without wasting water, and I was familiar with the dishes on the menu, and I knew what each dish looked like.
It's close to the sea, so almost every meal and dish is seafood. It is rare to see other meats, and there are only a few varieties of vegetables.
In the first few days, Qi Ji also said that he was so thin that he didn't eat a few leaves like a rabbit, and he didn't have the strength to work.
Lu Li himself also found that it was not good to be hungry at night, so he forced himself to eat seafood.
On Saturday, the food stall business was particularly good, and Lu Li couldn't care about the hot plates when he served the food, his movements were much faster, and the spilling of most of the soup happened less and less.
From 7 o'clock to 12 o'clock, the last guest left, Lu Li didn't even drink a sip of water, he was tired and collapsed on the chair, he just felt that his body was very hot, he rolled up his sleeves, and heard Uncle Guang call him to go outside to collect the table and sweep the floor. When he went out, he saw that Qi Ji had already helped him collect almost: "Why is your face so red? Am I so handsome?" Qi Ji would not let go of any opportunity for narcissism. "You go and put away the empty bowl inside and help Uncle Guang sweep the floor. ”
Qi Ji drove him in with a cigarette butt and a wave of his hand, and Old Man Hong took a bag to Qi Ji and waved goodbye to everyone.
The day is finally coming to an end.
At night, Lu Li took a shower and lay on the sofa still feeling hot and panicked, so he lifted the quilt before falling asleep groggily.
He didn't sleep long before he was suddenly woken up by Qi Ji.
I thought I was sleeping on the ground again, but I wasn't.
Qi Ji frowned and looked at him: "Hey, what's wrong with you?"
"Huh?" Lu Li was uncomfortable, his body was itchy again, he scratched his face and wanted to continue sleeping, but he was pulled up by Qi Ji.
"You're blushing. Qi Ji frowned.
"Oh. Lu Li looked at his arm, where pieces of something like mosquitoes had grown. He knew he was allergic to seafood: "It's okay, it's just a seafood allergy, just get some sleep." ”
He wanted to sleep, but Qi Ji still pulled him: "An hour ago, it was one by one, but now it has become one by one, are you sure it's okay? ”
"I don't have any money to waste on going to a hospital. ”
"I have to go to the doctor if I don't have money. Get up, there's no doctor here to go to the next town at night. "Qi Jila people.
"I really don't need to, just take some antihistamine medicine. Lu Li still refused.
"What's that?"
"Do you have a medicine box at home?"
"What is the medicine box?" Qi Ji frowned, quickly patted his head and went upstairs, and then took down a small box.
Lu Li wrapped himself in the quilt and rummaged through a plastic box given to him by Qi Ji, which contained children's cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, scald medicine, and some bandage bandages.
He found an anti-allergy medicine for children, flipped through the date, and there was still a month to go.
"That's fine. Lu Li pointed to the medicine. Qi Ji brought him a glass of water: "Are you sure it works?"
"Sure. ”
Wait for Lu Li to take twice the amount of medicine. Lying down and preparing to continue sleeping, thinking that Qi Ji was gone, the man brought a stool over and sat on the edge of the sofa looking at him.
"Hey, what are you doing. Lu Li poked his head out and asked.
"You sleep on yours, get up and go to the hospital without going back for an hour. Qi Ji looked at him fiercely.
Lu Li covered his face in the quilt and smiled: "Hey, you're making too much of a fuss." ”
"You can't eat seafood and don't say?"
"When I was a child, I couldn't eat at all, but now it's better, and I eat too much. Allergies are like this, if you keep using antigens to stimulate, your immune system will become stronger and stronger, and you won't have allergies in the future. Lu Li looked at Qi Ji's black and white eyes.
But those eyes obviously didn't understand what he said: "Speak human words." ”
"If you eat more, you may never have allergies again. Lu Li sighed.
"Really, fake?" Qi Ji didn't believe it. "You have a lot of money. ”
"You go to sleep, it's all right. It's not too itchy. And I'm going to live here, I can't be a rabbit eating a few leaves every day, right?" Lu Li turned over and turned to the back of the sofa and prepared to sleep.
"You sleep on yours, I'll see you're better before leaving. Qi Ji said it very gently.
Lu Li didn't know when he fell asleep.
In the end, what he heard was Qi Ji's very gentle care, but he quickly added: "Xuan Xuan and I are both ready to knock your father for a sum of money in the future, you have to give us a good one." ”
That's what this person is.
Lu Li curled up, sleeping on the sofa was not very comfortable, but he was used to sleeping for a few days.
But when he woke up, he found himself sleeping on a large bed on the second floor.
It was already past twelve o'clock in the afternoon. The sliding doors were closed, and there was silence everywhere, save for the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks and the sound of seagulls flying over the rooftops and the rubbing of their wings against the air.
Lu Li touched his face and found that the red bumps on his face had receded, and he was refreshed, but he was hungry.
opened the sliding door, and Lu Li was blown all over his face by a puff of smoke.
But the tangy fragrance also came.
"Dad, Uncle Lu is awake, we can talk loudly!" It was Xuan Xuan who was the first to run over, Lala Luli's legs turned his head to look at the other side of the terrace, Xuan Xuan was very happy: "Xiao Huang, you can also call yo!"
Xiao Huang then called out twice in response to the situation.
The sea breeze suddenly changed direction, and the smoke drifted in other directions.
When Lu Li saw the other side of the terrace, Qi Ji wore knee-high pants and stood in front of a grill with a plastic fan to fan the fire, and on the grill was corn, green peppers, chicken wings and meat skewers.
"Yo, wake up and go brush your teeth, wash your face and eat, Xuan Xuan is going to call you Uncle Qin's mother, your Qin's mother bought a few melons yesterday, don't forget to deceive, and then trick some Coke Sprite over, call your Grandpa Hong too, and say I'll roast stinky tofu for him so that he won't be lazy." Qi Ji wiped a thin layer of sweat on his face, wiped it with a towel on his shoulder, the sun shone on his body as if it could reflect a special brilliance, and Lu Li was a little dazzling.
"Okay, Dad, I'm going to eat ten chicken wings! Keep them for me!" Xuan Xuan responded loudly, and went downstairs with a sigh, Xiao Huang was obviously squatting next to the grill and sticking out his tongue and drooling, and turned his head to see Xuan Xuan gone, as if he couldn't choose between the grill and the little master.
Xuan Xuan ran down with a snort, and suddenly poked his little head back and shouted at Xiao Huang: "Xiao Huang, if you don't go with me, do you want to accompany your father here?"
There was still a bit of grievance in his tone.
So Xiao Huang waved his tail and followed Xuan Xuan step by step.
Lu Li smelled the fragrance and leaned against the door for a long time.
I've only been here for a few days, but I always feel like I belong here.
Every day when I wake up, the sky is blue, the sun is always sprinkled everywhere, and the people in front of me are always looking at themselves mentally, and a child and a yellow dog always love each other and are happy.
"I knew I was handsome, and the men and women of the village loved me. Lu Li stared at Qi Ji in a daze. The man had already opened up: "When Xuanxuan comes back later, you won't be able to eat, he is a big stomach, go brush your teeth and come over to eat chicken wings." ”
Qi Ji sprinkled a layer of powder on the grill, and then the smell of cumin spread.
Half of Lu Li's body stood in the sun, and for the first time in these days, he smiled from the bottom of his heart.
At noon, there was a barbecue, but Mr. Hong still didn't come, and Xuan Xuan said that his grandfather was playing mahjong in the chess and card room and refused to come. Mother Qin really brought a melon up, and Uncle Guang brought half a bucket of water, which was large and small with squid, pipi shrimp, and prawns. In the end, they were all roasted by Qi Ji, but Lu Li didn't eat a bite.
So at noon, I heard that Qin's mother and Uncle Guang were noisy, and it was very lively.
The little one was full of food and drink and ran back to the house to watch TV, and the yellow dog happily squatted in front of a pile of chicken bones and gnawed until he forgot himself. Qi Ji and Uncle Guang called the owner of the barber shop next door and the owner of the oil and rice shop downstairs to play mahjong. And Lu Li helped Qin's mother to clean up the mess upstairs.
Qin's mother kept chattering with him all the time about the shortcomings of his parents.
In fact, Lu Li was also curious.
For example, Xuan Xuan's big name is An Zexuan, but he is Qi Ji's son.
Before Lu Li asked, Qin's mother went straight to Qi Ji's bathroom, took out the basket where they put their dirty clothes, and thought: "Tsk, it's okay now, there used to be an old man, a child, and two adults, but now there are three adults." ”
"Aunt Qin also helps Uncle Guang and Grandpa Hong do laundry?" Lu Li was sweeping the floor.
"Isn't it, Qi Ji has a water heater here, your Uncle Guang and Master Hong are both bathing here comfortably, and their clothes are all thrown here, where will men take care of themselves? It's annoying to look dirty all day long, at that time, Qi Ji bought a water heater for my house, and he didn't want my money, so he gave them a few laundry. Mother Qin threw the basket of clothes aside and cleaned up the meat and vegetables that had not been eaten.
"Actually, you are very lucky, although Qi Ji is a kid who has no face and no skin all day long, but he is really good, at that time, our mother and son were driven away and didn't know where to go, so I followed Qi Ji here, I took the compensation and my own savings and followed him to buy the shop here, at that time others still laughed at me for being stupid, you see I live now there is also a small shop, and my daughter's college tuition is earned by this small shop. Fortunately, Qi Ji helped me. “
Lu Li asked curiously, "Old Man Hong and Uncle Guang are from Red Sea Town?"
"Yes, they are all surnamed Hong, half of the villagers here are surnamed Hong, and I only met them when I moved here. ”
"Well, why do they hate -- well, I mean the rich people on the other side? I thought they were just as ...... as you."
Mother Qin packed up her things, rested on the low stool for a while, and said, "Can you not hate? At that time, the person surnamed Lu wanted to buy Honghai Village here instead of Ernst & Young Village opposite. At that time, it was a big commotion, and many fishermen went to the government gate with explosives to sit in peace, and it took more than a year to keep this place. As a result, it was our Ernst & Young village that suffered. Those rich people don't know how to protect the ocean at all, they have been demolished and rebuilt, the garbage is poured directly into the sea, the fishermen are all relying on the sea to eat, he tossed like this, the harvest has not been good for several years, your uncle Guang said that it has only been a little better in the past two years, I tell you, there are one and there are two, with the example of Ernst & Young Village, maybe one day this side will be razed to the ground for those rich man-made villas with a lot of money and no place to spend!"
Qin's mother muttered.
Lu Li was afraid that she would attack his father again next. Hurriedly changed the topic: "What about Xuan Xuan, Xuan Xuan is from Anyong Village, his surname is An." ”
When Qin's mother heard this, her eyes flickered: "Heh, Qi Ji is not from Anyong Village, my neighbors were a pair of brothers and sisters at that time. Let me tell you, their family is miserable, their parents are gone very early, my brother took my sister out when he was a smart teenager, and then I heard that my brother died in a car accident outside, and my sister heard that it was gone, and then Qi Ji took Xuanxuan to Anyong Village, only saying that it was a friend of that brother. Xuan Xuan is not surnamed Qi An, and he doesn't say anything when he asks him, we all guess that Xuan Xuan may be the son of that brother or his sister. But Qi Ji is very popular, an outsider is very likable in our place, and it's the same here, he loves to help people, but he always loves to spend money indiscriminately, I have a small shop over the years, and my daughter has been supplied, you see him, the villagers are reluctant to make more money, and when they make money, they go to buy a bunch of some and no to load his baby car, I see him tinkering for so many years, and I haven't seen him drive out. It's almost thirty years old and not serious, you say that he wants to have good looks, and he wants to be capable and capable, but he just refuses to find a good partner, and it's annoying to look at. ”
The woman pressed her cheeks against her cheeks, and her tone was like an old mother who was looking forward to her son giving birth to a grandson as soon as possible.
Lu Li listened and reminded lightly: "Mother Qin, your daughter is in her early twenties this year......
Qin's mother was a lot stricter at once, and shook her head: "The biggest success in my life is to cultivate my family's Xiaoshui, she will marry a rich man in the future! I don't want her to live in this small place like me in this life, it is best to marry in the city and live a good life." “
Lu Li smiled secretly when he heard this: "Just now you said that Qi Ji is good." ”
Qin's mother was a little flustered and hurriedly made excuses: "The person is good, but you see that he is busy from morning to night every day, and when he is free, he circles around his son, my daughter can't be a stepmother, Xuanxuan is a good child, I just can't bear my daughter's hardship, hey, pity the hearts of parents all over the world." ”
Mother Qin looked at Xuan Xuan, who was asleep on the bed in the room, and shook her head. Let Lu Li hold the leftover vegetables, and she took the basket of dirty clothes downstairs.
Walking downstairs, Qin's mother asked Lu Li: "Hey, by the way, Qi Ji said that you have lived in the city, will you repair the computer?" My computer has been slow to death recently, and I can't hear the video clearly with my daughter, and the TV series is so slow that I am dying." ”
"Well, I'll try it, it should work. Lu Li responded.
A few words were heard by Uncle Guang, who was playing mahjong, and the uncle's loud voice was torn open: "I told you to watch less Korean dramas, less Korean dramas, you see that you are so slow to make the computer, I haven't seen Xiao Kai for two weeks!"
"What's the matter with me, my daughter has helped me get it done, it's been okay for so long, it's just that last time you chatted with Xiao Kai for more than an hour, so I didn't talk to Xiao Shui, and then it slowed down, do you still blame me?" Qin's mother said fiercely.
"Hey, you pay for the Internet from the computer, what's wrong with me talking to my son for a while? Slow, touch-" Uncle Guang is arguing here, and the mahjong over there is still slipping away.
Lu Li was afraid that the quarrel between the two would be endless, so he hurriedly put the food in the refrigerator of the food stall and left it cold, and dragged Qin's mother to repair the computer.
