Chapter 2 The Most Authentic Feelings
"Hey, I'm going to play a few red police games later?
It was already the last class, and the social teacher was reading the answers to yesterday's exam weakly on the podium, while Lu Yuan was absentmindedly looking at the blackboard in a daze, Chen Mingjian bumped his hand and said softly.
For the whole afternoon, Lu Yuan looked like he was so unrelenting, although he firmly said that he was fine, Chen Mingjian was still a little relieved, and wanted to pull him to play a game.
In 2001, Internet cafes were not everywhere, and at that time they were called computer rooms, and four yuan an hour was already an extremely luxurious consumption for the vast majority of junior high school students who had only one or two yuan a day in pocket money.
Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "Next time, I'm really a little uncomfortable today......
"Okay, then you pay attention to yourself!"
Chen Mingjian sighed.
"Bell bell bell ......"
The bell for school finally rang, Lu Yuan packed his schoolbag indiscriminately, said hello to Chen Mingjian, and walked outside as if he was running away.
"Lu Yuan, you are on duty today!"
Squad leader Li Jiajia suddenly thought about this, and hurriedly shouted at Lu Yuan who was not far away.
But Lu Yuan didn't seem to hear it, but walked faster and faster.
"Okay, okay, squad leader Li, Lu Yuan is not in good health today, I'll help him with it!"
Chen Mingjian hurriedly took Li Jiajia's hand and said urgently.
A few kilometers from the school, Lu Yuan's home passes a children's park, where a row of plane trees is planted on the side of the road, and most of the leaves are yellowed and withered, leaving only the branches that stretch freely.
In the past, it only took ten minutes to go, but Lu Yuan felt that it was extremely long, he didn't know what he would see the moment he walked in the door, Zhuang Sheng Dream Butterfly, what he experienced was not also a dream.
No matter how long the road is, when the outer wall of the front is pasted with mosaics, seventy or eighty percent of the new houses are where Lu Yuan's family rents.
The door was half-hidden, and the sound of cooking could be faintly heard in the kitchen inside, Lu Yuan took a deep breath, pushed open the door and walked in, and said loudly: "Mom, I'm back!"
The people in the kitchen heard the noise, stretched out half of their bodies, looked at Lu Yuan, and nodded, "Well, wash your hands, you can eat soon!"
Seeing his mother's much younger face, Lu Yuan suddenly felt a burst of red heat in his eyes, and seemed to be about to cry.
Huang Xiuzhen was just about to return to the kitchen, when she suddenly saw Lu Yuan's strange expression, and hurriedly pushed open the kitchen door, didn't even have time to untie her apron, walked quickly to Lu Yuan, and said softly: "Yuan'er, what's wrong with you, someone at school bullied you?"
Although the sixteen-year-old Lu Yuan is already 1.72 meters, much taller than Huang Xiuzhen, in her mind, Lu Yuan will always be her own little child.
Lu Yuan hurriedly sniffed, forced himself to hold back the excitement in his heart, and said with a smile: "Mom, I'm fine, how can anyone bully me, it's just that the wind and sand were a little big when I came, and I was blinded......"
Huang Xiuzhen looked at Lu Yuan with some suspicion and asked, "Is it really okay?" If there is really something, you tell your mother, and your mother will report to your school!"
Lu Yuan hurriedly shook his head and said, "Mom, it's really okay, you don't go back to the kitchen yet, the food will be burnt later!"
Huang Xiuzhen screamed, and hurriedly turned around and rushed towards the kitchen, she was making braised pork!
Seeing his mother, who was still flexible, Lu Yuan couldn't help but wipe his slightly moist eyes, in the time and space when he was not reborn, although his mother was in her early fifties just now, but the problems all over her body, especially the herniated disc in her waist, made it difficult for her to even walk.
Lu Yuan's family, originally in a town in Jidong City, Lu Yuan in elementary school, had very good grades, originally he could only go to the town's junior high school, but because of his excellent graduation test scores, he was directly admitted to Jidong Junior High School with Lu Qing.
At that time, Lu Yuan's parents simply decided to work in the city, on the one hand, they could earn more money, and on the other hand, they could take care of Lu Yuan.
With the situation of Lu Yuan's family, it is basically impossible to buy a house in Jidong City, so he can only rent a small house near Jidong Junior High School, Huang Xiuzhen cooks for Lu Yuan during the day, and goes out to set up a food stall at night to subsidize the family, and it is precisely because of this more than ten Chinese New Year's Eve of hard work that Huang Xiuzhen has been sick in her fifties.
Not long after, Huang Xiuzhen brought out a few bowls of steaming food, and she took off her apron while hurriedly packing up her things.
"You eat first, your dad will come back soon, and mom will go out of the stall first!"
Lu Yuan suddenly put down his chopsticks and said, "Mom, I'll go with you later!"
At that time, Lu Yuan had always felt inferior because of his family background, Huang Xiuzhen's food stall had been placed at the intersection not far from Jidong Junior High School, with many students and a large flow of people, but Lu Yuan subconsciously avoided it every time, he was afraid that his classmates would laugh at him if they knew.
But at this time, Lu Yuan, who was already in a thirty-year-old state of mind, only had a pain in his heart, on a winter night in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, the outdoor temperature was also below zero, and the cold wind was cold, but Huang Xiuzhen had to set up a stall until nearly the early hours of the morning.
Lu Yuan looked at the frostbite on his mother's hands and face, which had already been somewhat cracked, and his mood that had calmed down was a little excited.
"You kid, what's there to go to when it's so cold outside, you just study hard at home, next year you will take the high school entrance examination, you take a good high school exam, your mother is happier than anything else, eat quickly!"
Huang Xiuzhen patted the back of Lu Yuan's hand, and then rode the modified tricycle full of dried tofu tea leaves and eggs, and staggered outside.
Not long after Huang Xiuzhen went out, there was a sound of an electric car moving at the door, Lu Yuan hurriedly stood up, and just saw his father Lu Tianming walking in from outside.
Compared with more than ten years later, Lu Tianming is also much younger and energetic at this time, but he is covered with dust and has a trace of tiredness on his face.
Lu Tianming walked in the door, saw Lu Yuan standing, frowned, and said, "Why haven't you eaten well, the dishes are going to be cold!"
Lu Tianming used to be a soldier, and after he retired from the army, he learned carpentry, his temper was a little short-tempered, and he did not educate Lu Yuan with sticks, so in the past, Lu Yuan finished eating early, and slipped into his room before Lu Tianming arrived home.
Lu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Dad, I'll wait for you to eat together!"
Lu Tianming was a little unaccustomed to his son's strange appearance, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "The school has to pay money again?"
Hearing his father's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, because he loved games before, and often lied that the school wanted to pay money and ask his family to get it, so he quickly shook his head at this time.
Lu Tianming sighed, took off the dirty clothes on his body, sat down to eat, looked at his father who was immersed in eating, Lu Yuan didn't know what to say for a while, usually at home, Lu Yuan had some words with Huang Xiuzhen, and he didn't have much communication with Lu Tianming.
In less than two minutes, Lu Tianming finished eating, and he didn't move much of the bowl of braised pork, but just ate most of the tofu in front of him.
"Finish eating early and do your homework, the high school entrance exam is coming soon!"
Lu Tianming admonished, and walked towards the small shed outside the door. Living in the city, he needs money everywhere, and Lu Yuan's grades are not good, and he is likely to pay a lot of money in high school next year, so Lu Tian understands that he will decorate for people every day, make some furniture at home at night, and prepare to sell it when he is in the town to catch the market.
Looking at his father's back who was less than forty years old but was already a little hunched, Lu Yuan held the chopsticks in his hand tightly, if anything else could be doubted, but his parents' feelings for him were the most real things he could feel.
