Chapter 34 Telephone calls
A slightly sentimental, melodic and brisk music sounded.
It was set by Lu Xi as the ringtone for mobile phone calls, the background music of the Thai Pantene advertisement, and the violin solo of John Pachelbel's "Canon in D major".
Lu Xi glanced at a string of numbers displayed on the screen, this was the first call she received, an unfamiliar number.
can know the number of this mobile phone in such a short period of time, I think it should be a familiar person, Lu Xi connected.
"Is it embarrassing?"
Familiar and unfamiliar voices, she couldn't remember who it was for a moment.
Lu Xi hesitated for a moment and said, "It's me, you are ......"
"Second brother, can't you hear me?"
Hearing the words "second brother", Lu Xi's disconnected memory was finally connected all at once.
The second brother, Lu Gongcheng, the second eldest of the Lu family, has the highest education in the Lu family, has a master's degree, is a power engineer, and works at the Huaneng Thermal Power Plant in Huacheng.
The distance between Hwaseong and Nanming is more than 400 kilometers, Lu Gongcheng is very busy with work, and his home is located in Hwaseong, so it is rare for him to go back to Nanming's hometown all year round.
So slowly, the relationship with my hometown became a little more estranged and cold.
"I hear it now." Lu Xi said with a smile, in her memory, her relationship with her second brother Lu Gongcheng was quite good.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I haven't been back to see my mother and you for so long." Lu Gongcheng said, apologetically, "Some time ago, I went abroad to help African brothers in the third world build power plants, and it was difficult to make phone calls there, so I didn't even have a phone call. ”
In the past, Lu Xi was still studying in elementary school in his hometown, but Lu Gongcheng was not transferred to Huacheng, and he was still working in a power plant in Yunjiang City, which was close to home, and often went back several times a week, and the relationship was very close.
Among the three elder brothers, the relationship between Lu Gongcheng and Lu Xi is second only to Lu Jichen and better than the eldest Lu Pingsheng.
"I understand." Lu Xi replied, African brothers in the third world, she felt a little funny inexplicably.
"I only returned to China yesterday, and I heard the third child say that I injured my hand some time ago, and now I am okay?" Lu Gongcheng asked with concern.
"It's just a little injury, it's almost better." It's just that in the face of these family members, Lu Xi has become a lot more speechless.
"How did you do in the high school entrance examination, right?"
"Personally, I feel pretty good, but I don't know what the results will be when they come out."
"The one-armed girl battle must be very exciting, but it's a pity that I couldn't witness the peerless demeanor of my Lu family's little overlord."
Because Lu Xi was picked up by Deng Yufang when his three sons had grown up, he was old and lonely, and there was a big age gap with his three elder brothers. She is young, and she is a girl, the most favored, domineering, and absolutely a little bully at home, except for her mother Deng Yufang, almost no one can disobey her.
Later, when I grew up, went to junior high school, and became sensible, the title of Xiaobawang was not called much. However, when the family remembers it, they still occasionally take it out and brush it.
Lu Xi was helpless about this, but also felt very cordial.
"I heard my mother say that you want to take the Huafu exam here, yes, you deserve to be the overlord of my Lu family's generation, domineering enough." There was a joking, hearty laugh from the other side.
What kind of school is Huafu, Lu Gongcheng is close to the water, and he is naturally very clear.
"I hope to be able to get in."
"It's definitely no problem, I'll live in the second brother's house when the time comes, and by the way, help the second brother discipline and discipline your little niece who doesn't like to study."
Like Lu Jichen, Lu Gongcheng is full of confidence in Lu Xi Kaohua.
"Thinking of finding a free tutor so soon?"
"No way, your little niece hasn't inherited the intelligence of our Lu family at all, and she belongs to the crane tail ...... class"
"Dad, who did you say was the tail of the crane?"
Before Lu Gongcheng finished speaking, there was a rush cry from there.
No doubt it was her little niece who was upset to hear her dad speak ill of her.
"Don't move, I'm talking to your aunt."
"Auntie, is she coming to our house? Great, when is it? ”
When the little niece heard that it was her aunt, she immediately left behind her the bad things her father had said about her.
"Soon, it's estimated that by mid-August, she'll come here to study in high school."
"It's going to be August for so long, people want to see my aunt now, Dad, what do you say?"
The little niece was coquettish.
"Go, go, don't bother me, you can't make a phone call. You're going to talk to my aunt, and you're going to fight yourself later, it's time for me and my sister. ”
"Oops, goosebumps, I can't stand it."
Dropping such a sentence, Lu Xi's little niece's voice gradually faded away.
"Xixi, I heard it, your second brother and I have a headache for your little niece."
"If you don't teach, it's your father's fault."
"In the future, you will be her teacher, you should not be strict in teaching, and the teacher will be lazy."
……
Lu Xi and the third brother Lu Jichen can talk about everything, and they have a good chat with the second brother Lu Gongcheng. This was said for more than half an hour, until a call came in.
Lu Xi looked at the phone number, which showed the word "mother", which was the phone number of the third brother Lu Jichen's hometown that he had saved in advance in his mobile phone.
"Second brother, mom called."
"Okay, you and Mom will talk first, and we'll talk about Dashan when we have time."
Lu Xi then said goodbye, cut off the conversation with the second brother, and cut his mother's phone in.
"Just talked to the second child, right?"
"yes, Mom, what's the matter?"
"It's okay, I just heard from the third child that you have a mobile phone, let's talk together."
Listening to his mother's words, Lu Xi thought that his father died early, the third brother was busy with the company's affairs, and his mother was alone at home with no one to accompany him, except for watching TV, there was no entertainment activities, he must be very lonely, and he suddenly felt ashamed in his heart.
I was busy with studies before, and I didn't have a mobile phone, so I could barely talk about it if I didn't call home. Now that the high school entrance examination is over, I am free, and I have kidney six, but I didn't think about calling back to say hello, it's really heartless.
So, Lu Xi patiently chatted with his mother, chatting until the phone was about to run out of power, turned on the power and continued, chatting for more than two hours before giving up.
Rao is like this, Lu Xi can still say goodbye from his mother at the end, and the tone is very reluctant.
"It seems that I will call back more when I have time in the future." Lu Xi muttered.
Then the phone rang again, and it was the third brother calling.
There is nothing wrong with this third brother's phone call, just to tell her that he has returned to his hometown safely, don't worry.
After a brief call with the third brother and putting the phone down, Lu Xi glanced at the time and found that she had spent the afternoon on the phone with her family.
"Lu Xi, your phone."
It's just that before Lu Xi could sigh, she heard the voice of Lu Zichuan calling her to answer the phone from outside.
