Chapter 10: Confessing the Wrong Man
This sentence almost choked Chen Luyao to death, walked to the table and put Xuan Xuan's boxes of strawberries into the refrigerator: "Xuan Xuan go to bed first, and Mother Strawberry will put it in your schoolbag tomorrow." ”
"Hmm." Xuanxuan obediently jumped off the bench, her little short legs fluttered in a panic, and she rushed to the room to lie down: "Mom! I'm lying down! ”
"Okay, close your eyes and count."
"It's closed."
"Then don't speak." When I went to the room to see Xuan Xuan covered the quilt and turned off the light, Chen Luyao returned to the living room and squatted beside his mother with peace of mind.
Mom's gray hair was curled into a bun at the back of her head, and she was fascinated by watching the people on TV. Chen Luyao asked softly, "Mom, let's go back to sleep, shall we?" ”
"Don't sleep, Lu Yao hasn't come back yet."
"Do you have to wait for Lu Yao to come back every day?" Chen Luyao sat next to her mother and asked, she had long been accustomed to her mother's state.
"Lu Yao is very hard." Mom said with a loving smile on her face, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes didn't know when they crawled out.
I heard my mother continue: "Her father is long gone, she didn't even graduate from college and lived alone with her children, and I was sick again." So she always goes out early and returns late, don't look at her smiling and pretending all day long! It's all pretended! ”
"Really? So what does Lu Yao do? ”
When it comes to her profession, her mother is instantly happy like a child: "My daughter is a photographer. can take a lot of beautiful photos, and the photos of her family are all taken by her. When I was in school, I liked to tinker with this, you come, I'll show you. ”
With that, my mother took her hand and went back to the room to look through the old photo albums and listen to my mother tell the old stories witnessed by each photo.
Although he had heard these stories hundreds of times, Chen Luyao still listened carefully to his mother until she fell asleep while she was talking.
helped her fold the quilt and turn off the light, and then went to the living room to help her aunt turn over half of the cuffs.
In order to make money while taking care of her mother, my aunt bought an electric sewing machine. Take the clothes on the assembly line of the small garment factory to make them at home, and several people in the factory work together, pick them up in the morning and send them back after they are finished in the evening.
Chen Luyao was afraid that his aunt would suddenly mention the last blind date, so he took the lead in speaking: "Xiaojun will come back tomorrow and I ordered some river crabs from the aunt who sells fish, didn't you shout to eat them last week?" ”
"The current river crab is not fat and so expensive, he said he would eat it?"
"It's a lot of pressure in the third year of high school."
"You're used to him."
The Xiaojun in his mouth is the cousin of Chen Luyao's uncle's family, and the family is tightly saving him for college tuition, because Chen Luyao feels that it is his regret that he did not finish college, so he must ask his younger brother to finish college.
A younger brother and a son, Chen Luyao adheres to these two beliefs every day and works full of vitality.
The next morning, she sent her son to kindergarten early. Running to the studio with soy milk and buns in hand: "Everyone, morning!" ”
"Lu Yao is early."
"Didn't you come?"
"There is a company that wants to hold an exchange meeting, and it needs a group of follow-up photographers, and she went to negotiate."
"There's money to be made." Chen Luyao sat in front of the computer and stuffed the bun into his mouth, waiting for Jiang Xiangyan to come back with good news.
Finally when she drove back to the studio in a car, carrying the new bag that her brother bought for her, holding a pile of materials in her hand, she took off her sunglasses and pushed open the door of the studio with high spirits: "The big project bag is back!" ”
Chen Luyao turned to look at Jiang Xiangyan, the sand-golden ball head was particularly eye-catching, and her pink little mouth continued: "Datang Culture is going to hold a business exchange meeting next Monday, and it needs twenty-five photographers. In addition to those who have appointments in our studio, all the photographers are on the battlefield, so don't make an appointment with customers next Monday, you know? ”
"Then we don't have enough photographers." Chen Luyao asked.
"yes, so this work is done in collaboration with other studios, and I'm not going to discuss matters with another studio in the afternoon, you ......."
Jiang Xiangyan pointed to everyone in the room and drew a circle: "Be obedient at home, don't feel that you are relaxed in the later stage, you will have a lot of work, do you know?" When the name of our studio appears on the back of this magazine, that's when you receive your prize. ”
Saying that, Jiang Xiangyan shook the business magazine founded by Datang Culture in front of everyone, and the information captured by Chen Luyao was: Bonus!
Zhang Beicheng, who indirectly sent the bonus to her, was leaning on a chair in the office, and when he heard that Jiang Xiangyan had signed the contract, he showed a weird smile. Suddenly asked the person in front of him, "Where's Axie?" Why didn't you come back? ”
"He's gone to Lyon to see that French girlfriend."
"Death doesn't change."
Tang Rui, who had just spoken, pushed his eyes and smiled a little helplessly. Tang Rui and Axy are both roommates at Zhang Beichen University, and they developed projects together after graduation.
But the good times didn't last long, after Zhang Beichen had a car accident, the two of them thought he was dead, who knew that he would find the two of them back as soon as he entered Huayu.
"I'll go back first if it's nothing."
"Hmm." Zhang Beichen nodded, and after Tang Rui left, Zhang Beichen asked someone to drive downstairs to Chen Luyao's house.
I saw a boy in a school uniform helping Chen Luyao's mother to walk in the direction of the small square, and I didn't know if Chen Luyao had come back.
Pushing the car door, Zhang Beichen also went in the direction of the small square, standing aside to watch the old lady dancing with the group of people with headphones.
The look on his face and his innate temperament made him look out of place in this square. People couldn't help but look at him, and even a few aunts wanted to come and ask him, 'Are you married?'
Until Chen Luyao's mother saw him and happily took off her headphones: "Lu Yao!" ”
"Where?" Gao Xiaojun also followed and looked around, but he didn't see where his sister was: "Auntie, did you recognize the wrong person again?" ”
Chen Luyao's mother ran directly in front of Zhang Beichen and took his hand: "Lu Yao! When did you get back? ”
"Auntie, this is a man!" Gao Xiaojun took back his aunt's hand and said to Zhang Beichen: "I'm sorry, my aunt has Alzheimer's disease and often recognizes the wrong person. ”
"It's okay." Zhang Beichen took Chen Luyao's mother's hand and replied in a low voice: "Mom, I'm back." ”
"Let's go! Go home, mom will make you pies! Your favorite sauerkraut pork pie! The old lady actually took someone's hand and walked back.
"Aunt Eh! You can't ......."
Zhang Beichen waved his hand at him and motioned for him to stop talking. Neither Gao Xiaojun nor Zhang Beichen had seen each other, but Zhang Beichen knew that Chen Luyao had a little cousin who should be in high school now.
Along the way, Chen Luyao's mother held Zhang Beichen's hand and chatted very happily, Xiaojun followed behind him and wondered, can Alzheimer's mistake a man of 1.83 meters for a woman?
