big city small home

Chapter 5

The night I slept in my hometown, I couldn't sleep more than I slept in Anting's house two nights ago.

After Yilin developed and expanded, a vocational and technical school was built.Dad works in a vocational technical school, but he is not a teacher, but a logistics staff.

In his life, Dad has been a farmer, a small peddler, a school logistics warehouse manager, a school cashier, a representative of Party A of school infrastructure, and a school gatekeeper.

Lu Zhenzhong has always believed that the highlight of his father's life was when the school expanded the teaching building. He was appointed as the representative of Party A of the school. For this reason, he went to Nanjing to study construction cost budgeting.

But his father later told him personally that there were two highlight moments in his father's life: one was when he was born, and the other was when he was admitted to graduate school. "If you have a son, you will have three." At that time, the second child was not allowed, and my father regretted that he did not have a son.

Dad has always had an unabashed preference for him.When my sister was in the second year of junior high school, he was in the fifth grade and already remembered things.More than once, he saw and heard his father express on various occasions that girls don't need to study more.

My sister graduated from the third year of junior high school and did not go to school again; but he went to the best boarding junior high school in Yilin Town.

When he was in his sophomore year of high school, his sister was about 20 years old, so she said she would leave the family and wait to marry in 2 years.The reason turned out to be that he needed to prepare money for his college studies in advance.

Because Dad was so undisguised that he kept feeling guilty about his sister.

When my father built the two-story building before the demolition, there were 9 rooms upstairs and downstairs, but he never thought of leaving one room for my sister.

Lu Zhenzhong frowned slightly in the night.Dad treated my sister so harshly, but my sister never thought of taking the opportunity to retaliate.

Wait, Lu Zhenzhong frowned a little bit, did my sister really not think about taking the opportunity to take revenge, or did he not understand her hidden thoughts?
Lu Zhenzhong seemed to see a glimmer of light in the thick fog: tomorrow, he will have a good talk with his sister.

Turned over and fell asleep.

The next day, Lu Zhenzhong was woken up by the biological clock.Lift your wrist and look, it's 06:30 in the morning.

Pushing open the door, following the scent, I reached the kitchen.

Lu's mother is cooking big pancakes.The smell of noodles and the smell of oil and salt rushed to his face, Lu Zhenzhong woke up for a second, and his stomach started to growl.Mother Lu turned her head and saw her tall and burly son with a smile on her face: "I know you like to eat leek boxes, so I called your sister early in the morning and asked her to buy leeks. But your sister said it was still early, There are no leeks on the market. I can only give you kang oil and salt pancakes for breakfast."

Lu Zhenzhong pinched his mother's shoulders and nodded, "I'm satisfied with big pancakes."

The whole breakfast of Lu's family was completed while my father coughed.

"Dad, why hasn't your medical report come out yet? Why don't we go to another place and try again! This time, find someone who can get the report out soon." Lu Zhenzhong took the opportunity to persuade.

"Waste of money!" Papa Lu flatly refused.

"It's not a problem to cough all the time."

"I know my body. It's okay. Whooping cough, just cough and cough." Father Lu said bravely.

"The youngest son of Zhisheng's family got whooping cough last spring, and he coughed for three months before he recovered... His father, did you have more than three months before and after?" Mother Lu interjected.

"You can calculate the exact date, the solar energy comes out from the west!" Papa Lu scolded.

Lu's mother has always been submissive, and she kept silent when she was scolded. She lowered her eyebrows and put away the family's leftover pancakes and empty bowls.

Lu Zhenzhong looked up at his father, feeling sour in his heart.This is a savage, patriarchal father, eager to win and get ahead, always staring ahead, never reflecting on the harm he has caused his family.But it was such a father who gave him all the love a father could give his son.

Lu Zhenzhong quickly lowered his head.It is said that a scholar dies for a confidant, and it is for this point. In the matter of seeing a doctor, I should be more persistent than my sister.

After nine o'clock in the morning, my sister Lu Mei came.

Pulling back the hooded knitted hat, revealing her sloppy hair, Lu Mei showed her brother a warm smile.

"Last night..." Lu Mei hurriedly covered her mouth, noticing that her parents didn't hear anything unusual, she changed her words, "Daewoo mentioned uncle last night, I didn't expect to see you today."

Lu Zhenzhong echoed with a smile.

The street lights were dim last night, and I didn't realize that my sister was so haggard under the natural light!
"I bought meat and some vegetables!" My sister walked to the kitchen with several plastic bags of different sizes.

Lu Zhenzhong grabbed her arm: "Sister, don't be too busy. Let's eat out at noon today. Call Daewoo and Xiaoyu, and call your in-laws."

"Waste of money!" Papa Lu said.The tone was not critical at all, on the contrary, there was a smile.

Jinyi never walks at night.

When he came home, the old father didn't want to take him out for a walk?Now, after moving into the elevator room, the neighbors have no time to go shopping; with a heavy cough, the park is not in the mood, so all that is left is to have a meal in public.

Not only Lu Zhenzhong knew his father's frightening thoughts, but also his mother and sister.That's it for lunch.

Lu's mother was busy washing in the kitchen, while her elder sister Lu Mei cleaned up the clothes familiarly, rubbed them with her hands and put them into the washing machine.Lu Zhenzhong sat on the sofa with his father, drinking tea and chatting.

Father Lu asked Lu Zhenzhong how his work was and how he got along with his colleagues.Hearing Lu Zhenzhong say that everything is fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your woman doesn't usually go home to live?"

Knowing that Dad couldn't get around this topic, Lu Zhenzhong cleared his throat in embarrassment: "She has to take care of Zhenqi. Zhenqi is studying near grandma's house."

Father Lu looked at his son angrily, and shook his head: "How do you live without a woman to take care of you?!"

"Dad, I eat three meals a day at the company; there is a washing machine for laundry, and a sweeping robot for mopping the floor. I have video calls with my daughter every day. I live a good life."

The old father stared at his son without saying a word.Lu Zhenzhong was keenly aware of the unspeakable part, and had to force himself to explain it: "Bai Yue and I are together every weekend."

Khan, it's short of saying that we sleep together for 7 nights every 2 days.

I was afraid that my father would be entangled, so I quickly changed the subject: "My brother-in-law went to work in Shenzhen and came back every year during the Spring Festival. Isn't my sister and brother-in-law on good terms?"

"I feel sorry for you."

"Got it, Dad. I'm having a good time, so don't worry about it. I think we should look at the cough in another place?"

Lu Mei had just come out of the bathroom, when she heard the second half of the sentence, she hurriedly persuaded her.

Father Lu glanced at his daughter: "Hurry up and give me the medical report."

Lu Mei uncomfortably squeezed her right hand with her left hand: "I'm reminding you."

Father Lu looked angry: "I said I was going to the Chinese Medicine Hospital, but I told me that her classmate's father is in the People's Hospital. Cough, he is an expert in watching films. I can ask her classmate's father to help me watch the medical examination films. Cough cough , An expert in watching movies? I think he is an expert in scammers!"

Lu Zhenzhong bowed his head and remained silent.

"Her classmate? Cough, I forgot. How many days did she go to school? I asked myself to be fooled." Father Lu coughed and shook his head, wheezing audibly.

Lu Zhenzhong suddenly raised his head.

He wanted to take a closer look at his sister, and wanted to know what kind of expression her sister would have after being ridiculed in this way?
