407. Notice of Admission
The last time Lu Mingfei saw his aunt was before he moved out, and now that he thinks about it, it has been almost more than half a year.
Auntie is the same as always, nothing has changed.
As usual, he has coiled hair, a slightly fat figure, a round face like a big round plate, his arms are thicker than Lu Mingfei's thighs, and his body is surrounded by the red checkered circumference that he bought for a few years.
The standard middle-aged woman of the Celestial Empire is not at all as beautiful as the wedding photo on the bedroom wall.
This is also the aunt in Lu Mingfei's memory.
In half a year, for young people like Lu Mingze and Lu Mingfei, in the end, they underwent a earth-shaking change, Lu Mingfei could not say that he had a successful career, but he could be regarded as having a head and a face, and Lu Mingze also changed from a bitter little fat man to a male god reserve of Shilan Middle School.
It's just that for middle-aged people like uncles and aunts, half a year has passed in just a blink of an eye.
For middle-aged couples of their age, a stable life will not change because of some small things, and what it should be is what it should be.
The only thing that has changed is probably the aunt's attitude towards Lu Mingfei.
"Oh, Mingfei, it's been a long time, how are you okay this time?" The aunt put the Sixi balls and boiled pork pieces in her hand on the dining table, then turned around and took out a few large bags of things from the cabinet, "Come, eat sugar, melon seeds and oranges, you can eat whatever you like."
The aunt enthusiastically grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into Lu Mingfei's hand, Lu Mingfei didn't refuse, and took it and said, "It's been good lately, and the family is okay?"
"Good, all right." Auntie smiled, "Your uncle has solved several big customers this year, and a lot of year-end bonuses have been issued this year, and there is also Naruzawa, this year's results are very good, and what else did you participate in...... What kind of contest ......?"
"Olympiad." Lu Gu Cheng on the side prompted.
"Yes, Olympiad!" The smile on my aunt's face was like a chrysanthemum blooming, "I won the first place in the Olympiad competition."
Auntie's enthusiasm is not unfounded.
This is probably a common problem of all middle-aged women in the Tiantian Dynasty, as long as their husbands and children make some achievements, they can't help but show off to others, and they can't wait for the whole world to know.
And for the aunt, the one who should know about this matter the most should be Lu Mingfei.
I don't know what kind of psychology my aunt has, maybe she simply wants Lu Mingfei to know the good news, or she wants to use this news to let Lu Mingze crush Lu Mingfei.
In fact, Lu Mingfei didn't care much about it, after all, if he wanted to now, he could not only win the first place in the Olympiad competition, but also the first place in the strongest brain - the thinking ability of the hybrid is enough to crush the genius among ordinary people.
It turns out that when a person can fly, then he doesn't care how fast others run.
But then again, with Lu Mingze's ability, he was able to win the first place in the Olympiad, although I don't know whether it is the provincial Olympics or the national Olympics, but this achievement is worthy of recognition.
At this time, Lu Mingze came over with stewed pig's trotters and sweet and sour pork ribs, just in time for his aunt to say this.
Lu Mingfei smiled and gave Lu Mingze a thumbs up.
Lu Mingze grabbed his hair and changed the subject, "Mom, the dish is almost over, let's make dumplings."
Huicheng's small year custom continues to the north, and dumplings are eaten on Chinese New Year's Eve.
The aunt slapped her thigh: "Oh, I'm chatting with Ming Fei, wait, I'll go and make dumplings."
The aunt hurried back to the kitchen, and as soon as she left, the three men in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Gucheng comforted Lu Mingfei and said, "Your aunt's words, don't take it to heart."
In fact, Lu Mingfei didn't think much about it.
He probably understood his aunt's purpose, it was nothing more than wanting to use Lu Mingze's excellence to set off Lu Mingfei's incompetence, if it was Lu Mingfei before, he would probably really feel inferior because of these two sentences, but the current Lu Mingfei is just a deaf ear.
A person's position determines a person's thoughts, as the saying goes: if you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, it is more likely that the one who was hit will be called.
Lu Mingfei was not hit again, why should he be angry because of this?
Moreover, the current relationship between Lu Mingze and Lu Mingfei is good, Lu Mingze has made some achievements, and in a sense, there is also a part of Lu Mingfei's contributions.
So Lu Mingfei only felt happy.
As for what his aunt said, he didn't care.
In my aunt's life, that's probably all there is to it.
"Lu Mingze, come here to help!" Auntie's loud voice sounded again, Lu Mingze looked bitter and ran to the kitchen.
Since Lu Mingfei moved out, all these chores have been pressed on Lu Mingze, and Lu Mingze has also experienced for the first time what is called "Lu Mingfei" treatment, which is also an important part of his change in Lu Mingfei's opinion.
Lu Gucheng and Lu Mingfei sat at the dining table, and the two talked for a while, but Lu Gucheng's eyes always glanced at the bedroom unconsciously.
Lu Gucheng usually doesn't have any hobbies, he likes to tinker with some mobile phones and watches and other things, Lu Mingfei brought him a piece of Montblanc, this middle-aged man probably has his whole heart hanging on it, and he is not even chatting absent-mindedly.
Lu Mingfei excused himself by saying that he wanted to see the bedroom, Lu Gucheng nodded quickly, and as soon as Lu Mingfei entered the bedroom, he went to the master bedroom.
Lu Mingfei watched his uncle enter the master bedroom through the crack in the door, snickered and shook his head, then turned his head and looked at the environment in the room.
The layout is the same as it was at the beginning, with cramped space and a tall desk, and a familiar computer on the table.
What Lu Mingfei didn't expect was that Lu Mingze's bed was still the bunk bed, and the top bunk was neatly covered with bedding, which was the same set that Lu Mingfei slept on before he moved away.
When Lu Mingfei moved out, he didn't take anything except his own clothes, and when he arrived at the apartment, he bought a new one, but he didn't expect that the bed at home and his aunt didn't remove it for him.
Lu Mingfei's heart warmed.
He didn't actually hate his aunt that much, and there was one thing he only figured out after he moved out, that is, without his aunt, he would probably have starved to death.
He was fostered at his uncle and aunt's house when he was very young, Lu Mingze was still a little kid at that time, and his uncle worked overtime every day and night for milk powder money, and the family finally relied on the money from Lu Mingfei's parents to get through the difficulties.
But at that time, if there were no uncles, aunts and Lu Mingze, only Lu Mingfei himself, a little kid who was only about ten years old, even if the money sent by his parents, what could he do?
Renting, tuition, daily life......
After such a careful calculation, there is not much money left from Lu Mingfei's parents.
And Lu Mingfei can only grow up like an orphan.
When you think about it, it's actually quite scary.
Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei didn't have so much rejection of his aunt's exclusion, of course, if you want to say that there is not much favor, at most it is out of sight and out of mind.
Sometimes Lu Mingfei felt that what his uncle said was quite right.
The person who understands my aunt the most in the world is my uncle, who said that this woman is spicy and greedy for money, self-esteem and inferiority, but she is an ordinary housewife, and her heart is still quite soft.
Lu Mingfei sat at the desk, looking at the computer in front of him, this feeling was quite like those summer nights before the year before last, with no money in his pocket and nothing to do, pointing to kill time on the old computer.
But Lu Mingze always dominates the computer, Lu Mingfei just sat next to him and waited, until Lu Mingze talked about the girls on the penguins and went to take a bath, Lu Mingfei could touch the keyboard and play a few "StarCraft".
And that life, two years have passed since now.
Now that I think about it, if it wasn't for the scene where he accidentally bumped into Gu Bei hunting and killing the waiter, if he hadn't run to Gu Bei to question him, what if he ......
Then I am probably still like two years ago, squatting on the side and waiting for Lu Mingze to empty the computer, and then have two games of StarCraft with Lao Tang.
It's really impermanent.
Lu Mingfei opened the desk drawer and found a pair of headphones, buckled them on his head, turned on the computer and played them randomly, and the first song he came up with was Xiong Tianping's "Fool's Wharf":
"Where are you drifting/Who are you staying with/My world and dreams want you to save/I can't turn back."
The lyrics rolled back and forth in his heart, Lu Mingfei subconsciously hummed them, and as soon as he sang two sentences, he felt that something was wrong, and when he turned his head, he saw Lu Mingze standing at the door, holding back a smile.
"Poof...... Ahem, it's time to eat." Lu Mingze finally held back his laughter, greeted Lu Mingfei and disappeared at the door.
Lu Mingfei was embarrassed for a long time, then turned off the music and left the bedroom.
At the table, everyone was seated.
The uncle sat on the main seat, the aunt sat on the uncle's side, Lu Mingze sat next to the aunt, and the vacant seat was between the uncle and Lu Mingze.
Lu Mingfei stepped forward and sat down.
The family has a meal.
In front of his aunt, his uncle's mind was finally taken back from the Montblanc in the small vault, and while eating, he talked about his affairs in the company, which was not a serious matter, but some interesting gossip, but the aunt loved to listen very much, and interjected to discuss while listening, Lu Mingze occasionally said a few sentences, and Lu Mingfei listened while eating.
Dumplings are his favorite three-fresh filling, and his aunt's craftsmanship is speechless, and the three-fresh dumplings in many restaurants that Lu Mingfei eats are not as delicious as those made by his aunt.
The elbows are soft and delicious, the ribs melt in the mouth, the meat is strong and springy, and the meatballs are full of aroma.
From the past, Lu Mingfei felt that even if his aunt's skills were taken out, it would be more than enough to be the chef of a big hotel.
Eating and chatting, the topic unconsciously ran to the news during this time, Lu Mingze remembered the news that he had just seen that Japan was flooded, and took it out and said a few words, and then his aunt remembered: "I heard that Fei Fei traveled to Japan some time ago, right?"
Lu Mingfei nodded: "Well, the classmates from the Literature Club went together."
"It's okay," Auntie slapped her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you came back early, if you catch the tsunami, it will be really bad luck."
Lu Gucheng smiled: "We are blessed with a great fate, God will wait for him to come back before sending water, it will be fine."
The corner of Lu Mingfei's eyes twitched: Can I say that I was in Tokyo at the time of the tsunami?
The aunt didn't answer, but said, "A lot of people are going to die in this scene, right?"
Lu Gucheng shook his head: "It's all Japanese, and if you die, you die."
Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows: I didn't expect my uncle to be an angry young man.
Lu Mingfei hadn't finished sighing here, and Lu Gucheng spoke again: "I heard that some time ago, these devils were planning to discharge sewage into the Pacific Ocean, this wave is not a natural disaster, this is retribution."
Lu Mingfei: Hey, the co-author of the White King was woken up by a box of sewage, if Herzog had known that this thing would work, he would have poured it into the sea?
Wait a minute, the White King can be awakened by the box of sewage, then the name of the White King should not be Heras, it should be called Godzilla.
Of course, the above is just a thought, and Lu Mingfei, as a first-hand experiencer, knows very well the causes and consequences of the tsunami.
But in the eyes of those who don't know, it's not bad to take it as retribution.
So the family began to criticize a certain country that polluted the environment, and then extended the relationship between countries and countries, and the real mastermind behind the indiscriminate drainage incident.
After the emotional catharsis, the topic returned to daily life, and the aunt looked at Lu Mingfei: "How does Mingfei feel like living outside, are you still used to it?"
"It's okay, it's good."
Lu Mingfei's answer was ambiguous.
He can't say he doesn't live alone, can he?
The aunt didn't react to Lu Mingfei's words, but just said to herself: "This person lives alone, the most exercise of people's independent ability, auntie I think about whether to let Ming Ze out to exercise, what are the difficulties in this personal life? You tell your aunt about it, and let her refer to it."
Hearing this, Lu Mingfei looked at Lu Mingze: "Do you want to go out to live?"
Lu Mingze was nibbling on ribs, and when he heard Lu Mingfei's words, he nodded.
Lu Mingze didn't know, Lu Mingze probably saw it
After going out to live on my own, I have more freedom than at home, so I want to go out and live too.
You must know that Lu Mingze was strictly controlled by his aunt when he was a little fat man, and there was basically no other time except for studying and extracurricular interest classes, and the whole person lived like a machine, probably in Lu Mingze's eyesight, moving out was equivalent to a ticket to freedom.
I just don't know how he persuaded his aunt, who is really thinking about this matter seriously.
Lu Mingfei felt a little incredible, but he didn't say anything, and began to give his aunt the problem of alienating herself and living alone.
Time passed little by little, the family was full of food and drink, the guests and hosts were happy, and Lu Mingfei did not go home, but stayed overnight.
still slept in a room with Lu Mingze, bunk beds.
Lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling close at hand, Lu Mingze didn't know who he was chatting with, and the keyboard made a crackling sound.
Lu Mingfei felt very relaxed, then turned over and met a pair of big eyes in the dark.
"Minato!"
Lu Mingfei was startled, and when he looked at it, he realized that it was Lu Mingze, who didn't know when he came to the window: "What are you doing?"
"Don't sleep yet, I'll give you something."
After Lu Mingze finished speaking, the whole person got under the bed, Lu Mingfei watched him grope under the bed for a while, and took out a package.
"What is this?"
Lu Mingfei took the package from Lu Mingze and asked puzzledly.
"What I sent you is like an admission letter from a foreign school." Lu Mingze patted the ash on his hands, "I got it back from the courier a few days ago, and I have been hiding it since I got it back, and I didn't dare to let my mother see it."
If my aunt saw that Lu Mingfei had received an admission notice from a foreign school, it would be a big deal.
Lu Mingfei smiled knowingly, and at the same time wondered a little in his heart, he didn't seem to have sent an application to any foreign school...... Wait a minute!
Lu Mingfei had a flash of inspiration in his mind, took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight, and looked at the shipping address.
Chicago ......, Illinois, USA Kassel Academy!?
