Chapter 135: Hometown
The comments on the Internet and the fryer after the news was released, Lu Yuan also took the time to look at it, and it was indeed not so unexpected to him. In the following week, he was stationed in the foundry, working with a number of engineers to solve various problems of the engineering machine, such as antennas and signals, and battery layout requirements to become more reasonable. On the one hand, it is also adapting to the ArkOS system, hoping to solve all kinds of bugs in the engineering machine system.
To be honest, even if his brain potential was temporarily developed after taking drugs, and he had much stronger brain power than ordinary people, it would be difficult and difficult to complete such a large project in a short period of time, but fortunately, with Sonny, he only needed to let Sonny assist remotely, and call some resources of some large quantum computing hosts in the South Pacific submarine base to help solve the problem of system adaptation, and it took less than half an hour to perfectly adapt the engineering machine. It was only in order to avoid frightening others that he spent a week gradually fixing the bugs in the OS system.
Even so, many software engineers were surprised by the overseas technical departments that Lu Yuan said.
That night, Lu Yuan was busy with the adaptation of the last batch of engineering prototypes, a total of five batches of verification machines, and he finally chose the third of them as the final prototype.
"Huhu...... So be it. ”
Picking up the teacup on the table and taking a sip slightly, Lu Yuan's gaze suddenly stopped on the time next to him. Then he stretched out his hand and clicked on the date, his face changed slightly, and he suddenly sighed: "It's almost there." ”
One more day, it's the death day of my parents. Thinking about the time he has been working hard in the East China Sea for several years, he has never gone home to sweep the grave, and he is considered an unfilial son.
Thinking of this, he simply booked tomorrow's plane ticket in advance, went to the airport early the next morning to get on the plane, and flew two and a half hours to arrive at an airport in the Midwest. Then I rented a car and drove towards my familiar hometown.
After years of economic development, the local roads are no longer as dilapidated as in previous years, but now urbanization is accelerating, and many young people in these places like the countryside have moved to the city to develop, leaving only children and elderly parents in their hometowns.
He drove into his hometown. I didn't see a few people along the way, so I parked the car at the bottom of the mountain, closed the door and walked up the hill with paper money.
After walking a few laps along the mountain road, Lu Yuan's eyes moved, in front of his parents' graves, there was actually a person squatting there burning paper money.
"Uncle Hong?"
Lu Yuan hesitated a little, looking at the back of the man, he was almost unrecognizable. I haven't seen each other for a few years, but I didn't expect this old man, who was quite healthy in his impression, to be so old. The body is no longer as stiff and straight as before, but bent and unable to stand up.
Hearing the voice behind him, the old man slowly turned his head with a puzzled look on his face, as if he didn't recognize who the young man in front of him was.
Compared with the changes of the old man, Lu Yuan's changes are actually much greater.
"It's me, Lu Yuan, Uncle Hong."
"Xiao Yuan, ah......" the old man remembered. Surprised and delighted: "Why are you back?" Hey, I feel like I'm getting taller again. I almost didn't recognize it. ”
"Uncle Hong, are you okay?" Lu Yuan stepped forward, held the old man's trembling hands, looked at the paper money on the ground, and said guiltily: "I've troubled you all these years." ”
"Hey, what is the family talking about?"
The old man smiled and said, "I was thinking about it just now." I don't know when you'll be able to make a trip...... Hey, people are old, and the phone number you left before can't be found, so it's hard to contact you. ”
"Uncle Hong, it's all my fault."
For this man who has taken care of him a lot since he was a child. and the old man who cleaned his grave for him all the year round after the death of his parents, Lu Yuan always felt that he owed a lot.
"I don't blame you, I don't blame you...... Young people always have to struggle, and we can all understand that you are busy with work and have no time, especially if you are still working in a big city, you must be very busy and tired. ”
While talking, Lu Yuan burned some paper money for his parents, and kowtowed a few times in front of the tombstone, and then helped the old man down the mountain and came to the house where the old man had lived for half his life. This house has a history of almost 30 years, it has long been old, and the wall skin has peeled off, but unfortunately Uncle Hong, the old man, has long been accustomed to living here, and his children want him to move to the city, but the old man insists on not going, and insists on living in his hometown, so that his children are helpless.
After chatting with the old man in the house for an hour and satisfying the old man's curiosity, Lu Yuan took out two envelopes, each containing more than 10,000 yuan, and stuffed the envelopes into the old man's hands.
"Uncle Hong, thanks to your care over the years, this money is not much, please accept it."
"No, this won't work......"
The old man naturally would not accept this money, and Lu Yuan persuaded him many times to no avail, so he had to take it back. With the old man's stubborn temper, he said that he would definitely not accept it if he didn't accept it, so he had to sigh in his heart and give up persuasion.
Just as Lu Yuan was thinking about saying goodbye and leaving, the old man seemed to remember something: "By the way, I have something to tell you." ”
"Well, what's the matter?" Lu Yuan was stunned.
"That...... Hey, Obuchi, let the past pass. Lu Ze's family is now also ruined......"
Hearing the name "Lu Ze", Lu Yuan couldn't help frowning, but now his mind is not comparable to ordinary people, no matter how much he hated Lu Ze's dirty things about his own family before, but after all, more than ten years have passed, and he has gradually forgotten it. What's more, Lu Ze is not having a good time, because of drug abuse, his wife left, and he went to prison because of drug abuse and injured others, the two are no longer people of the same world.
"Uncle Hong, just tell me straight, what is the matter?"
Seeing that Uncle Hong didn't seem to be able to open his mouth, Lu Yuan stretched his brows, saying that he was fine.
"Actually, in fact, this matter shouldn't have bothered you, then Lu Ze is also a bastard, he owes your father......"
The old man recalled the past, sighing and hesitating: "But Lu Ze is a bastard, and his daughter is innocent......"
Hearing the old man's explanation, Lu Yuan understood, it turned out that Lu Ze had an accident in prison half a year ago, and when he fell to the ground, he was seriously injured and died with a sharp object on his head, as for whether this was the case or not, no one could hold him accountable.
But his daughter, at the age of 14, will face the situation of having no parents, leaving school alone at home, living alone for three years, and no one cares. Although the old man also hated Lu Ze, his daughter was innocent after all, and she usually took care of her, but his body and bones were not good this year, and his children would have to take him to the city to live after the year, so that as soon as he left, the girl really had no one to take care of her.
"Xiao Yuan, don't blame Uncle Hong for being nosy, in terms of seniority, she is your niece...... She is also your only relative now, so if you have the ability now, help her, she lost her parents at the age of fourteen, which is also a sin. ”
After listening to the old man's words, Lu Yuan was silent, he already understood what the old man meant, but even though he didn't hate Lu Ze as much as he used to, he still hated this person psychologically, and he definitely didn't have much affection for his daughter. Although the old man was right, in terms of generation and blood, this was his niece, but because of this, he couldn't forget the bad things Lu Ze did to his family.
"Uncle Hong, take me to have a look."
For a long time, just when the old man thought that Lu Yuan was unwilling to interfere, he didn't expect to hear Lu Yuan suddenly open his mouth, and couldn't help but say happily: "Okay, let's go." ”
Lu Ze's home is also two miles away from the old man's house, the old man walked slowly, and said as he walked: "Lu Ze, that bastard, used to beat his daughter when he was drunk, and he didn't care that this was his daughter, but fortunately, the government arrested him in time, otherwise 'Xiao Yi' would have to suffer a lot of crimes......"
Out of disgust for Lu Ze, it was impossible for Lu Yuan to go to Lu Ze's house even if he went home to sweep the grave, so for this niece in his name, the memory was still stuck in when she was a few years old, and when she heard the old man chattering, she couldn't help but feel a little less disgusted. This niece is actually a victim, how can a person who is addicted to drugs and alcohol take more care of his daughter? If you weren't killed when you were drunk, it's okay.
After walking two miles, Lu Ze's home appeared in front of Lu Yuan. (To be continued.) )
