Chapter 8: The Old Mansion in the Dream

A touch of sunlight penetrated into the house through the gap in the curtains, Lu Xi stretched it a few times, there was something to do, even if he couldn't sleep enough, he wouldn't lie in bed, dressed and washed up, went downstairs for breakfast, put away his things and prepared to check out and leave. Passing by Shu Wei's door, Lu Xi paused, remembering that she ran over to tease herself last night, shook her head and smiled, and still rang the doorbell.

After a long time, a lazy voice came from inside the house: "Who?" Then the girl named Bingbing came over and opened the door, and saw Lu Xi standing at the door and subconsciously wanted to cover her chest, only to find that after the weather cooled, she had changed into cotton long-sleeved pants pajamas.

"I'll come over and say hello to Shu Wei." Lu Xi turned a blind eye to her movements and said with a smile.

"Vivi hasn't woken up yet, you can come in and sit down." Bingbing embarrassed to get out of the way.

"In a hurry, she wakes up, you just talk to her." After Lu Xi finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Bingbing stood at the door and watched for a while, until Lu Xi disappeared at the elevator entrance, she closed the door and turned around and climbed onto Shu Wei's bed and said, "Your little man is gone." ”

"I hate it, people haven't slept enough." Shu Wei didn't open her eyes and complained.

"Hey, your little man is gone." Bingbing reached out and brushed Shu Wei's itchy flesh, and Shu Wei couldn't help laughing twice.

"Let's go, can I still tie someone to my waist?" Shu Wei rubbed her eyes and pouted, her expression made Bingbing unable to tell whether she was woken up or unhappy because Lu Xi was gone.

Bingbing pursed her lips and said with a smile: "That little man of yours is quite tasteful, he is so popular with girls at the age of eighteen, I don't know if he will chase a group of girls in two years." If you had changed into sexy pajamas last night, would he have pushed you down? Some men just like this tune ......"

"Wave again, do you think everyone is like those stinky men you know?" Thinking of Lu Xi's charming smile, Shu Wei couldn't help but stretch out her hands and waved twice in the air and complained, "It's over, this girl's image has been ruined by you, and I really won't be able to see people in the future!" ”

"Men are all virtuous, I don't believe that he doesn't eat this! Isn't he going back to Newport today? Maybe he will catch our flight, I will help you make an appointment with him, and give you a chance to create zĂ o, there is nothing to be ashamed of when a girl makes waves in front of the man she likes, and if you miss it, you will regret it for a lifetime. Some men think that what they can't get is the best, and we women are the same, I don't want you to be emotional, so you will ruthlessly abandon ......, give the first time to a man you like, and then find a rich person who likes you to live in the future, and there will be no regrets......" Bingbing sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, and her slender fingers pinched lightly on Weiwei's fair face, saying like a preacher.

Coming out of the hotel, Lu Xi booked a return ticket first, and went straight to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Lu Xi doesn't have to worry about the next thing, he just needs to wait.

The flight was at noon, Lu Xi was not in a hurry to go to the airport to sit down, went around Zhongguancun twice, bought the latest IBM laptop, and signed a computer purchase contract with a computer company.

**********************************

At a quarter past two o'clock off the plane, Lu Xi went straight to the electronic technology market to purchase servers, at this time, the domestic telecommunications bureau has not launched a server rental service, only provides server hosting services, and now a good server costs tens of thousands of yuan, Lu Xi turned around a few times, bought two servers with the highest configuration in one go, and sent them to the telecommunications bureau for hosting.

After I bought a ticket to return to Lucheng, I planned to go home and get the WeChat client program, and then go back to Xingang and put it on the server.

Lu Xi remembered that in his previous life, before he went abroad, his father had a very poor relationship with his uncle Lu Quanyou and his aunt Lu Xiaoping, just because his father was afraid of delaying the future of his nephew and niece, so he refused to work in his own factory, but the uncle and aunt didn't think so, saying that his father didn't recognize his relatives when he made money, saying that he was wolf-hearted, plus some small things before, and took the initiative to break off the relationship. Dad didn't forget about JĂŹ and his brother and sister, and at the end of every year, he would send money to the two families, and the uncle and aunt said that they would break off the relationship, and they didn't return the money.

In fact, my cousin and cousin didn't want to go to my father's factory to work, and they didn't want to nest in this small place in Lucheng at all, both of them graduated from famous universities, although the university was no longer assigned from 95 years, but it was easy for the two to find a job in Xingang, and the development was really good.

At that time, my cousin and cousin were still talking to my father, and I scolded my uncle and aunt, so I didn't dare to say anything more. Uncle and aunt have a temper with their grandmother, but the aunt is a typical Jiangnan woman, just in charge of housework, the uncle is a northerner, in the early years to work in the river, and later to the Lu family, a big man was trained by his wife all day long and did not dare to look up, the two were not used to seeing but dared not speak.

And the parents and little sister were killed, the uncle and aunt did not appear, only the aunt and uncle-in-law took the little cousin Chen Danying to help take care of the funeral, cousin Lu Bing and cousin Lu Xue still secretly hid from their families to help, Lu Xi in order to avenge his parents and little sister, he also went to beg the uncle who was the secretary of the Lutang Party Committee, but he didn't even meet in person.

Uncle and aunt have strange and strict tempers, Lu Xi has not liked them since he was a child, and even if he is reading files in life now, he has no good impression of them. From studying abroad in his previous life to now, he hasn't seen each other for almost 20 years, and Lu Xi can't remember what they look like at this time, but he still remembers that the uncle said that the Lu family is the descendant of Lu Xun during the Three Kingdoms period, saying that there is a family tree, but no one in Lu Xi's generation has seen it.

Lu Xi didn't know when his father reconciled with his uncle and aunt, so he moved his eyes back from the car and asked, "Dad reconciled with uncle and aunt?" ”

Lu Quanzhong concentrated on driving, and didn't look back and said: "Lu Bing called me, can I, as an uncle, not go?" It's all a family. ”

Lu Xi smiled bitterly, I don't know if my cousin had greeted my uncle, so he notified their family to come to the wedding, if the uncle and aunt didn't know, I don't know what their expressions would be when they saw their family appear.

The wedding was tomorrow, and the family went straight to their old house when they returned to Lutang.

The old house was handed down by his mother Xu Youzhen's ancestors, Lu Quanzhong and Xu Youzhen moved in when they got married, grandpa and grandmother died early, and grandpa and uncle with a strange temper did not get along, so they also moved over.

Uncle Lu Quanyou often says that the Lu family is a descendant of Lu Xun, but there is no genealogy, and no one knows whether it is true or false, but Lu Xi's grandfather is a Jinshi of the Qing Dynasty, which is well documented. The Xu family used to be a big family, and the old house was also a big house in Lutang, with three entrances and three exits covering an area of more than three acres, facing the river before and after.

Originally, the Xu family was prosperous, but in Xu Youzhen's generation, she had only one daughter, Xu Youzhen was born in this house, Lu Xi and Xiaomei were also born in this house, when his grandfather did not pass away, Lu Xi also had the surname Xu with his mother, and he changed it back when he was in elementary school.

Lu Xi remembers that he lived here for ten years, and moved to Lucheng City because of his mother's job transfer, and after the family of four moved away, the house was lived in by his grandfather until his grandfather passed away in the second year of junior high school, which was empty. When the relationship between my father and uncle is not stiff, I will come back to live for a few days during the New Year's holidays, and only my mother can't bear to leave the house empty in the past two years, and she will come back to clean and clean every weekend vacation.

Back at the old house, Lu Quanzhong called his uncle, Xu Youzhen went to the second courtyard to clean up the house, even if she came back to clean every week, she had to clean carefully if she wanted to live in the house. Lu Xi didn't care what his uncle's attitude was when he received a call from his father, and walked up the wooden stairs to the second floor of the south room.

After turning around twice, Lu Xi went downstairs and saw his father's ugly face, and he didn't want to mention his uncle, so he asked with a smile: "Is there any news from Wanle over there?" Since I saw Zhou Jiahui in the hospital last week, my parents have been smiling more recently, and Lu Xi has not paid attention to this matter anymore.

"What?" Lu Quanzhong was still thinking about what his eldest brother Lu Quanyou said on the phone, but he didn't notice Lu Xi coming down, let alone what he asked.

Lu Xi pursed his lips and stopped asking, he didn't see Zhou Jiahui coming to him for the past few days, thinking that he should be secretly collecting evidence, and when the evidence is enough, it should be Liu Wenbiao's death.

Dad didn't mean to ask again, so Lu Xi didn't care about him and walked into the second courtyard. The second courtyard is a floor, with a main house and east and west wings, and a large courtyard in the middle. Mother was cleaning up the two side rooms for their brother and sister, Lu Xi was lying at the door with a hippie smile, asking her mother to be more careful, and drove her out with a sideways look.

Lu Xi smiled and walked into the back cover room from the small garden next to the ear room, when his grandfather moved in, Tu Qingjing has been living in the back cover room. Grandpa is kind, Lu Xi often sticks to grandpa, often sits on the window on the second floor, or listens to grandpa tell stories, or chats with neighbors who walk across the bridge, or throws stones into the dilapidated fishing boat rowed in the river, or makes faces with the little girl opposite.

The house is still the same house, the river is still the river, the stone bridge is still the stone bridge, but the once dilapidated fishing boats have been replaced with new ones, and the naughty little girl can no longer be seen in the window on the second floor on the other side of the river.

After the death of his parents and little sister in his previous life, in addition to them, Lu Xi missed the old mansion in Lutang the most, which carried many of his beautiful childhood memories, but it was a pity that his father mortgaged it to the bank, and the old mansion covering an area of three acres was only mortgaged for more than one million.

At the end of the ninety-eighth year, when the Golden Week had not yet formed, tourism was not thriving, and the water town was not yet well known to the Chinese people, the market value of the house with a history of hundreds of years far exceeded this price.

After Lu Xi returned to China to work, he came back once on vacation, and the house had been converted into an inn, and the pattern had changed beyond recognition. The appearance of the old house can only be recalled in dreams, and every time I dream of it, I will wet my pillow towel with tears.
