Chapter 14: Gifts
Lu Wuyuan's eyelids twitched, and he saw the curious eyes of countless classmates and parents falling on the two of them, but Lu Xiaomao didn't notice the way he desperately held back his tears, so he couldn't help but ignore him.
He directly carried the package in Lu Xiaomao's hand, then took him to a nearby dessert shop, ordered him a strawberry ice cream, and looked at the tearful Lu Xiaomao without speaking.
When he was with Lu Xiaomao, Lu Xiaomao kept chattering on the side, Lu Wuyuan was not good at getting along with children, so he had to put on a posture of listening.
The two of them were silent until the ice cream on the table melted, and Lu Xiaomao sobbed and spoke: "My dad and my mom divorced, and my dad and his ...... There's another woman out there, and he doesn't want me and my mother anymore...... Woowoo woo ......"
Lu Wuyuan was stunned when he heard this, he had seen Lu Xiaomao's mother a few times, who opened a clothing store in the county seat, and was a more enterprising woman, but she was relatively negligent in disciplining her son; But I haven't seen Lu Xiaomao's father, Lu Xiaomao's father works as a construction worker at the construction site, and the work place follows the contractor, and he is away all the year round, and he comes back two or three times a year. So the two of them threw Lu Xiaomao to their hometown and let his grandmother and aunt take him, there are no men in his hometown, all of them are women's army, and Lu Xiaomao's temperament is a little girly.
Lu Xiaomao's father didn't go home after going out after the Spring Festival this year, he didn't think that he suddenly came back a few days ago, and brought a woman with a big belly, saying that he wanted to divorce Lu Xiaomao's mother, but his mother was hot and quarreled with his father on the spot, she scolded the woman, and finally pushed the woman out of the house, the woman accidentally fell and saw red, his father was so angry that he slapped his mother on the spot, and said that the marriage must be divorced, if Xiaomin's child can't keep him, he will make her look good!
Lu Xiaomao only found out about the news two days ago, and his father came to him directly to the school, telling him that his father was going to divorce his mother, and asked him who he wanted to talk to.
Later, his mother somehow found out about his father coming to school to find him, and hurried to the school, and the two had a big fight at the school gate, when the students in their class happened to be in physical education class, and the playground was not far from the school gate, and the students in the class knew that Lu Xiaomao's father had cheated and wanted to divorce his mother.
At that time, Lu Xiaomao was so frightened by this bombshell news that his head was dizzy, and he looked at his parents with hideous expressions in a trance, and his mind was full of why his parents wanted to divorce.
The two quarreled halfway, Lu Xiaomao's father received a call from the People's Hospital saying that his wife was born, he immediately gave up arguing with Lu Xiaomao's mother, turned around and took a taxi away.
Lu's mother was so angry that she didn't care about Lu Xiaomao, and also took a taxi and left.
Lu Xiaomao didn't go to the classroom at all in the past two days, he hid in the dormitory wrapped in a quilt every day in a daze, he couldn't stand the sympathetic or sarcastic glances of his classmates, their head teacher only sighed when he knew the situation, comforted him a few words and didn't force him to go to class.
……
After hearing the whole thing, Lu Wuyuan frowned slightly.
He knows that the laws of this world follow monogamy, whether it is a man or a woman, if you mess around after marriage, you will be crusaded against and discriminated against by public opinion, but couples in this world can divorce lightly, and even if two people have incompatible personalities, they can divorce as long as both parties agree.
Lu Wuyuan didn't marry a wife in his previous life, but he didn't have a good impression of people with three wives and four concubines, he just wanted to find someone who could know and rely on him until he grew old, how could a person who really loved his wife wronged his wife to endure other women sharing himself?
But now the people of this world follow monogamy, the maintenance of the relationship between men and women is very fragile, divorce is as common as drinking water and eating, Lu Xun's mother divorced Lu Yecheng after meeting other men, left her children, and resolutely left Lizigou.
Lu Wuyuan didn't know if he would marry a wife in the future, and the ups and downs in his previous life made him not trust others lightly, but once he identified the other party, he would never allow himself and the other party to betray each other.
Lu Xun...... What am I going to do...... Woo woo woo woo ......" Lu Xiaomao sobbed and looked at Lu Wuyuan.
Lu Xiaomao was brought up by his grandmother since he was a child, and he always hoped that he could live with his parents, and this semester his mother finally took him out to junior high school, he thought that it would be good if his father could come back to work, so that he could live with his parents.
When his dad came to look for him at school, he was still thinking that when his dad was coming back from the winter vacation, he would have to work hard to get a good score in the exam.
Lu Wuyuan didn't talk well about their family affairs, so he just touched Lu Xiaomao's head, lowered his head and sighed.
It was almost seven o'clock when Lu Wuyuan sent Lu Xiaomao home and then returned home, during which he called Lu Yecheng to tell him that he was going home later, Lu Yecheng also sighed after knowing the news, and said that if there was no one at Xiaomao's house, he would bring him to the teahouse for dinner.
When Lu Wuyuan sent Lu Xiaomao to his door, he saw his mother walking out anxiously, and his mother saw Lu Xiaomao standing at the door with a guilty face, saying that something happened in his store, and he forgot that he was going to pick him up today.
Lu Wuyuan returned to the teahouse, and the clerk at the door was a little girl in her twenties, and her eyes narrowed with a smile when she saw him.
"Lu Xun, are you on vacation?"
"It's coming, it's time for a holiday after the exam." Lu Wuyuan was very patient with the staff at the teahouse, not only because this group of people were neat and dedicated, but also very kind to him, often bringing him snacks and knick-knacks.
"By the way, your grandfather is here?" The clerk reminded.
Because it is almost the end of the year, the business of the Lu family teahouse is relatively busy, and it will be closed almost the day before the Chinese New Year's Eve, and when I go back to my hometown, I have to clean and worship my ancestors, so it is too late for Chinese New Year's Eve day; Therefore, Lu Yecheng planned to spend the New Year in the county, so he took Lu Lianggui from his hometown; On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I directly found someone to drive back, and spent two or three days to visit relatives and friends' homes for the New Year, and the teahouse was almost open.
In order to purchase goods, the store is also equipped with a small van, and Lu Yecheng has not yet taken the driver's license test because of his arm, so he has to ask Xiao Chen, the shopper in the store, to send it down.
Lu Yecheng's arm has been massaged and dredged by Lu Wuyuan for half a year, and it is almost better, but he can't lift anything too heavy for a long time, Lu Wuyuan now presses it for him once a week, and Lu Yecheng feels much lighter after pressing it every time. He plans to wait for next year to get a driver's license, and he will have to buy medicinal herbs himself in the future, and he is really not at ease for those who don't know how to do it.
"Follow-by, I'm back, I just had a delivery of yours." The store manager is an aunt in her forties, straightforward and generous, and gets along well with Lu Yecheng, often giving Lu Yecheng some advice on the management level, but she has a bottom in her heart and never crosses the line.
"Courier?" Lu Wuyuan didn't know what a courier was at all......
"It seems to be an international courier." The store manager's aunt gestured the size, "Just now your dad helped you get it." ”
"Your dad told you to hurry up and have dinner, and give you a hot pot to eat." The store manager's aunt reminded with a smile.
Lu Wuyuan walked upstairs in a daze, opened the door and saw Lu Lianggui pounding medicinal powder with a small stone mortar, and Lu Lianggui was standing on the side to pick up medicinal materials and sort them.
"Follow by, why did my good grandson come back so late." As soon as Lu Lianggui saw him come back, he immediately put down the work in his hand and wanted to hug Lu Wuyuan.
Lu Wuyuan was not used to being close to others, so he blocked it with his schoolbag without a trace.
Lu Lianggui thought that his grandson had grown up and was shy, and he didn't care about his resistance.
"Follow, you're hungry, let's go eat." Lu Yecheng pointed to a cardboard box on the table, "This thing seems to have been sent to you by the child of the Jiang family." ”
Is this the express delivery, Lu Wuyuan suddenly realized, it turns out that the express delivery is something similar to a letter, but modern transportation is more developed, and sending a domestic express delivery can be as short as a day or as long as three or four days to reach the other party's hands, which is like in ancient times It takes two or three months to send a letter, and it is easy to lose.
Lu Wuyuan ate and took the courier back to his room, a little surprised that Jiang Linhuai would send something to himself, and a little curious about what the other party would send him.
Opening the layers of packages, a box slightly larger than an adult's palm was exposed in front of him, the box was rectangular, and the front of the simple and heavy texture was tattooed with ancient patterns, Lu Wuyuan's eyelids jumped when he saw the patterns, but his heart was shocked.
He hesitated slightly, but his hand was uncontrollable and quickly opened the box.
The contents of the box were exposed to him-
Lu Wuyuan's face was expressionless, his chest rose and fell sharply, his lips moved, the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained when he saw the contents of the box, and what flashed in his eyes was disbelief, the pain when he was betrayed by someone he trusted, and the severe pain before death.
Why, Jiang Linhuai would send this thing to him!?
Where did Jiang Linhuai get this thing from?
The dynasty in which he lived in his previous life obviously did not exist in the history of this world, why does this thing still exist?
In an instant, Lu Wuyuan had too many doubts in his heart, he couldn't wait to go abroad now to catch Jiang Linhuai and ask questions!
……
The fluorescent lamp overhead flickered and then went out suddenly.
There was a sound outside, and then Lu Yecheng's voice sounded outside: "Why is there a power outage, follow you to light the candles at home, and I'll go down to the store to take a look." ”
The noise outside gradually became quieter, and it seemed that Lu Lianggui also followed.
