371 Adulthood

"Lu Ke, are you sure you don't want to bring these summer clothes over?"

"Lu Ke, this set of tea sets, otherwise, you can bring it over, your father and I rarely drink tea now, just plain water." It's good that you drink tea once in a while, so you can calm down. ”

"Lu Ke, otherwise, you can bring the quilt and blanket over, I have washed all of them, there is no problem. You are in your new home, using brand new quilts and blankets, which have not been washed, what if you have allergies? ”

"Lu Ke, the bottle of bone-setting bone water that your grandmother sent from China, let's bring it with you. This bone water, just for external application, should be no problem, you have to suffer so many impacts every week, after you go home, wipe it yourself, activate your muscles and bones, this is still good, or do you need to ask the team doctor? Check out these recipes? However, these Western doctors don't know anything about our Chinese medicine, and their opinions are not necessarily accurate. This is for external application, otherwise, you would have brought it over, right? ”

……

Turning his head, Lu Ke saw Jiang Youning standing at the door of the room, holding the incomparably large glass bottle in his arms, looking as if he was holding a baby in his arms, falling heavily in Jiang Youning's arms, looking precarious, in danger of falling at any time.

"Just put it in the pantry, and you can move it out." Lu Ke said with a smile, hurriedly stepped forward a few times, took over such a heavy burden from his mother's hands, freed Jiang Youning's hands, and then carefully placed the glass bottle in the corner next to the bookcase to avoid the danger of being kicked when coming and going.

This large bottle of bone-setting bone water can be said to be full of stories.

This is a potion personally picked by Lu Ke's grandmother, brewed and blended by herself, using the earthwork handed down from the folk, although it is earthwork, but the effect is very good, suitable for all kinds of sprains, bruises, strains and other symptoms.

When I learned that Lu Ke was in the school's rugby, he often suffered collisions, and he would encounter sprains and strains every once in a while; So, my grandmother worked hard to complete the production, and it took nearly two years to confirm the efficacy of the medicine, and then it was sent to San Francisco by sea.

However, the customs has always been very strict in its scrutiny of such herbs. There was no doubt that the potion was seized at the customs office and refused to be released. For this reason, Lu Ke, Jiang Youning and Lu Zhengze took turns to go to the customs to go through the formalities, fill in the application, and even submit an application to be sent to the laboratory for composition analysis, and finally tossed back and forth for three years before the large bottle of potion was rescued.

It is precisely because the whole process is ups and downs and protracted that at one point, they almost thought that they would never be able to take it out, but in the end it was returned to its original owner; Lu Ke half-jokingly said that this bottle of potion must be left behind and passed down from generation to generation in their family in the form of a family heirloom in the future.

"It's a family heirloom, so stay at home. If I need it, just take a bottle of mineral water in a plastic bottle and bring it with me. Lu Ke said with a smile on his face.

Jiang Youning rolled his eyes and glared at his son, "What a family heirloom, jokes are also serious." This is what grandma made especially for you, you can move there now, you may need it at any time, it is better to bring it whole, so as not to have a situation, you want to use it and you can't find it. ”

Today is the day when Lu Ke officially moved.

After entering the professional league, Lu Ke has actually been thinking about moving.

Not only because he has grown up and wants to have his own space, but also because he has left his parents with their own space; also because of the life of professional players, the pursuit and interception of reporters and paparazzi really affected the daily life of parents; Not to mention the weekly gathering of rookie players, where a group of young athletes come together, it's nothing short of lawless.

After all consideration, Lu Ke decided to move out and rent an apartment of his own outside.

However, after entering the team through the trial, Lu Ke's life has shown a high-speed situation, in addition to basic training, in order to keep up with the progress of the tactical manual, Lu Ke has used almost all his spare time, and there is no time to look for an apartment or move. It has been dragging on until now.

With the help of Ryan Steinberg, Lu Ke found a brand new apartment, and this week was an offseason week, which was just the right time to take advantage of this break to complete the move.

For Lu Ke, moving is not a fuss, just a change of place to live; But for Jiang Youning, this is a major event in his life, since a few days ago, he has been packing his luggage for Lu Ke one after another, looking at that posture, he almost wants to move the whole family directly - the literal one.

Now, even the heirlooms have moved out.

Without waiting for Lu Ke to argue further, Jiang Youning glanced around and said with a surprised face, "You just pack a suitcase?" Is this a move, or a trip? ”

"It's not just a suitcase, it's my training backpack, and everything in that backpack." Lu Ke argued.

"That's too little." Jiang Youning frowned, "There's nothing in your new home, are you sure you don't need to bring things over?" Also, what about your clothes? Just autumn and winter? And what about the others? When you train every day, you have to change at least three sets of sportswear, don't you bring it? ”

"Mom......" Lu Ke had to open his mouth and called, trying to interrupt his mother's words.

But Jiang Youning didn't give it a chance at all, and his eyes fell on the rose bowl trophy on the bookcase. It was a palm-sized replica of the Rose Bowl, and at the end of the year, every player on the team was given a replica model as a memento to commemorate UCLA's second win in 25 years.

"You don't bring this trophy with you?" Jiang Youning said with a surprised face, "Isn't this the best memory of you and Logan, why don't you bring it over?" ”

"Mom, Mom, calm down." Lu Ke kept waving his hands in front of Jiang Youning's eyes, attracting his mother's attention, and then he spoke, "I'm just moving, and I'm not going to come back forever, my room is still my room, and occasionally I will come back, isn't it good that my things stay here." ”

Jiang Youning was stunned, looked Lu Ke up and down, then showed a disgusted expression, and said, "What do you say, after you moved, I was about to tidy up this room and rent it out." When you come back, go sleep in the guest room, or sleep on the sofa, where is your room? ”

“…… Mom, isn't it? Lu Ke opened his mouth in surprise, with a stunned expression, "I, a bachelor, moved out specifically, but I don't want to stay at home as a light bulb; Now you're hiring new tenants, what's going on? In that case, I won't move. ”

"How can this work!" Jiang Youning's eyes widened, and he said with great disgust, "I've been waiting for you to move out, and it's finally time for this day, I don't care, you move out today, hurry up, it's really annoying you." ”

"Mom, to be honest, I gave it to you by scratching the prize, right?" Lu Ke said solemnly, looking at Jiang Youning pitifully.

Jiang Youning endured and endured, but he didn't hold back after all, his smile gradually overflowed, and he put his finger on Lu Ke's head, "Yes, you just scratched the prize." So, hurry, hurry, your dad and I can finally be quiet. As he spoke, he waved his right hand and made a gesture to rush people, "These things are all sorted out, move them quickly, and it is best to empty them." ”

As he spoke, he left Lu Ke's room and walked down the stairs, but when he came to the last step, he suddenly stopped in place, his smile gradually stiffened, and his expression became dazed.

Room for rent or something, that's just a joke. Reluctant, after all, reluctant.

Lu Zhengze, who was sitting on the sofa in the hall, heard the footsteps, but didn't see his wife's figure, he couldn't help but turn his head, and then saw Jiang Youning standing at the top of the stairs stunned, the loneliness and reluctance wet his eyes, he quickly stood up and walked over, "Xiao Ke just moved, he didn't give up when he went to Los Angeles to study in college before, why is he suddenly reluctant today?" ”

"It's different, that's different." Jiang Youning's voice couldn't help choking, dyed with a hint of nasality.

University, that's just studying, even in another city, Lu Ke is still a child; But this move means that Lu Ke has really grown up, begun to have his own life, began to break away from his parents' wings, and grew up, even if they are in the same city, they have to learn to let go, so that Lu Ke can really grow up.

The meaning, after all, is still different; The mood is naturally very different.

Parents are always so conflicted. When children are young, I hope they can grow up quickly, go out independently quickly, and get rid of heavy burdens; But when the children grow up, they begin to be reluctant again, hoping that time can be slowed down and slowed down, and they always can't help but worry about their future and prospects.

If they can, they are willing to spread their wings and protect their children for the rest of their lives.

Lu Zhengze sighed lightly, then hugged his wife into his arms, and said comfortingly in a low voice, "Xiao Ke is still in San Francisco, and the apartment is not far away, and it can be reached in twenty minutes by car." We can go over at any time, he can come back at any time, and now, he doesn't need our protection, but we can still accompany him and move forward together. ”

The encounter between parents and children is a fate, and at the beginning, parents protect their children and create a future for them; Then, parents and children walk side by side in the journey of life. In the end, the child takes care of the parents and escorts them to the end of this long life with a smile.

This encounter, this companionship, is fate.

Lu Zhengze gently patted his wife's shoulder and said softly, "Do you remember?" Every week's game, Xiao Ke is waiting for us to cheer, he can't fight on the field alone, we need to work together. As he spoke, Lu Zhengze inevitably became sad.

Lu Ke of their family has finally grown up.
