Chapter 163 The Same Secret

A person who claims that he will never lie unless it is absolutely necessary does not deny it immediately.Does this mean... Sang Baiyue sat in the driver's seat, lost in thought.

"What are you thinking about?" Lu Zhenzhong helped the children fasten the belts on the safety seats and sat in the driver's seat.Turning around, she saw Sang Baiyue holding her phone in a daze, and asked casually.

There are only 2 days left before the Chinese New Year, and they are going to move from Gingko Garden in the urban area to Anting Xinyuan for a short stay.Also going there is Anting native Huasao.Sister-in-law Hua is determined, determined to punish her husband and son, and does not plan to go home during the Chinese New Year.

Although Anting Xinyuan only has two bedrooms, Lu Zhenzhong and Sang Baiyue still welcome Mrs. Hua very much.In addition to Mrs. Hua's hard work, she has also developed feelings for her after being together for a long time.

"A small problem happened in the group." Sang Baiyue put down her phone.

"The secret exchange group?"

Sang Baiyue smiled at Lu Zhenzhong.No affirmation nor denial.

"What small problem?" Lu Zhenzhong asked casually.He's not really interested, just expressing concern.

"There is a sister in the group who is the founder of a start-up company, and she often publishes some words about business management and employment. At the beginning, she and your colleague Bingbulin called them workaholics, but Ruolin was an employee-style workaholic. Boss workaholic."

Lu Zhenxin thought, he might as well not tell Sang Baiyue that Bingbulin has also transferred departments now, and has become his boss again.

After Bingbulin went to the Ministry of New Energy to take charge of peripheral procurement, she effortlessly gathered together the scattered sands that Mr. Xiao was in.Lu Zhenzhong regards it as the power of appearance.

The department manager is handsome and sassy, ​​and the employees naturally have strong solidarity and a high sense of honor.

"There is also a sister in the group who is an art teacher in elementary school. She suggested that we get together during the Chinese New Year this year. After all, Ruolin and I have met offline. But, the sisters who start businesses just refuse to let go. What do you think? "

Being asked out of the blue, Lu Zhenzhong had no choice but to focus his energy on thinking.

The road is a familiar road, and with the Chinese New Year approaching, the number of vehicles on the road has been greatly reduced.It does not prevent Lu Zhenzhong from freeing up a minute or two of energy.

"Maybe it's because you don't want to complicate the simple relationship?"

Sang Baiyue slapped: "It makes sense." After finishing speaking, she posted the reasoning from Lu Zhenzhong in the group.This move can be regarded as breaking Ruoxi's siege, and at the same time giving Ruomeng a step.The act of killing two birds with one stone won Ruolin's appreciation.

The stagnant 48-hour exchange group began to come alive again.However, Ruoxi does not deny the impression that she is a man, so she has left a impression on everyone.

When they arrived in Anting, Lu Zhenzhong took his little treasure to put up Spring Festival couplets and window grilles.Sang Baiyue was walking around busy with Sang Ziqi, Mrs. Hua was cooking in the kitchen, and Mother Lu was sitting behind the dining table, looking back and forth at everyone in the family.Her expression, sometimes sober, sometimes confused.

In the evening, a table full of food is served on the table, full of color, fragrance and taste.Lu's mother stopped suddenly while she was eating.She peeled a shrimp with her hands, stretched her arms, and put it into Little Rare's bowl.

Sang Baiyue stiffened her neck in an instant.

Lu Zhenzhong hastily cleared his throat.He knows Sang Baiyue too well, and Sang Baiyue will definitely dislike his mother for peeling shrimp offal with her hands.He kept winking, wanting Sang Baiyue to avoid irritating his mother.

Following the sound of clearing her throat, Sang Baiyue met Lu Zhenzhong's wink, struggled for a while, and lowered her eyes.

Little Rare, who has no concept of hygiene, picked up the shrimp in the bowl and started to eat.Mother Lu grinned.Lu Zhenzhong also smiled when he saw it.Only Sang Baiyue couldn't laugh.After gouging out Lu Zhenzhong's eyes, Sang Baiyue turned her head away and stopped staring at her daughter.It is equivalent to giving up blocking.

Lu's mother happily continued to peel the shrimp, peeling non-stop.Little Zhenqi had no choice but to stop it: "Grandma, it's too much. Don't give it to me anymore."

"Oh good." Lu's mother remonstrated relentlessly.

The family is so harmonious, the one in Lu Zhen's center is happy!

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, my elder sister Lu Mei brought her family to Anting by train.The last time I saw Daewoo and Xiaoyu was eight or nine months ago.Not seeing each other for more than half a year, the two children jumped up together.Dayu seems to be the same height as Lu Zhenzhong, but the shoulders are not thick enough; Xiaoyu is also about to be the same height as her mother.

This time, brother-in-law Kang, whom I had not seen for many years, also came together.

Sister-in-law Kang, who works in Shenzhen, insisted on staying away from home for three years in order to triple her salary during the Chinese New Year and to save travel expenses and holiday expenses.

In the past three years, the father-in-law passed away, the mother-in-law fell ill, the child entered school, and the old father was paralyzed...everything was separated from him by a layer of veil.He is out alone, loneliness is greater than hardship, and as time goes by, he develops a detachment of alienation.

Lu Zhenzhong opened the door, and the first thing he saw when he saw brother-in-law Kang standing side by side with his sister was: How young.

I used to work in a factory, and later worked as a security guard in a shopping mall.Living indoors all year round, regardless of the wind and sun, Brother Kang looks white and tender.It is said that brother-in-law Kang often received milk tea because he often used his power to let employees in and out.And because she worked as a dishwasher after closing hours for a high-end restaurant in the shopping mall, Brother-in-law Kang looked red-faced and white-toothed, and she was well-nourished.

In contrast, Lu Mei looked ashamed and old.

The husband and wife not only have a significant age difference, but also dress differently.Brother-in-law Kang wears trendy men's casual clothes, while Lu Mei wears country-style flower-oriented aunt clothes.

Lu Zhenzhong saw it in his eyes, smiled on his face, and felt a pang in his heart.

Sang Baiyue likes Daewoo and Xiaoyu very much, and is busy entertaining the children.

Mother Lu sat firmly on the sofa, looking at the children in the room with a smile on her face.Lu Mei sat down, took her mother's hand, and eagerly talked about the parents of the neighbors she had known in the past.

Brother-in-law Kang and Lu Zhenzhong chatted nonsense.There is a kind of high-spiritedness between the speeches.

Mrs. Hua stayed in the kitchen cooking.Being busy is her magic weapon to drive away sentimentality.

Lu Mei was chatting, and found out about Lu's mother's abnormality.She took a chance and pulled Lu Zhenzhong to the balcony: "What's wrong, mom?"

"Huh?" Lu Zhenzhong tried to be sloppy.

"She seems to be a different person. She looks smiling, but when talking to her, she has no enthusiasm for anything. She seems to have forgotten her former neighbors. It has only been more than a year since we separated. There is no reason to be so indifferent .It's not normal."

Lu Zhenzhong couldn't keep going, so he had to make it public: "Mom's thoughts were too stressful, and she was overwhelmed at one point. In the middle of a few months, she had hallucinations and kept talking to her dead father. I took her to the mental health center for treatment." , the doctor kept her in the hospital for two months. She was just discharged from the hospital not long ago."

Lu Mei quickly covered her mouth with her hand, before her face turned away, tears had already flowed out of her eyes.

The siblings stayed alone on the balcony, and the bustle in the room was like background sound, making the balcony even quieter.

Lu Mei didn't ask what kind of mental burden it was.This in itself is not normal.

Then Lu Zhenzhong knew that his sister also knew the secret.

A secret that cannot be told.

A secret with no hope of ever discussing it.

A secret that dragged down her mother and dragged her family down.
