(1960s + No Rural Assignment + Spirit Spring + Space) After her biological mother died, her father remarried just a month later, abandoning her in the countryside for over a decade, never asking ab...
She didn't care at all about Lu Jiangtao's inquiring look at her. She originally thought that his daughter in the countryside would have the air of a country girl, but today she saw that it was completely different.
She sat straight with fair skin, and her hair was tied in a way that looked very pretty. She wasn't in a hurry while eating and was rather elegant.
The clothes she wears are no different from those of today's fashionable girls, and her appearance and manners are both top-notch.
It seems that what his wife proposed before will definitely work, he thought to himself.
His gaze was too obvious. Lu Xiangxiang raised his eyes and asked, "What's the matter with looking at me like that?"
Lu Jiangtao came back to his senses and shook his head: "No, I just think you are too thin. Eat more."
thin?
She looked down at herself. She was thin, but not particularly thin, right?
Compared to today's era where most people are thin, her figure is not considered thin.
Lu Jiangtao picked up some dishes for her with concern. When Lu Xiangxiang saw the dishes coming, she turned her bowl away.
Lu Jiangtao paused, not expecting her to do this.
Lu Xiangxiang said, "No need to clip it for me, I can do it myself."
Lu Jiangtao smiled awkwardly: "Well, it's not good for dad to give you this when you grow up."
After saying that, he put the dishes in his bowl and said nothing more. The two of them had a normal meal.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Aunt Niu took away the dishes and chopsticks. Lu Jiangtao took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and said, "You must be tired after all this travel, right? Go back and rest for a while. After you're done, let Aunt Niu take you out for a walk and buy some clothes you like. Take these tickets and buy whatever you want."
Now a steamed bun costs only one cent, and a meat bun costs two cents, so these two hundred yuan can be said to be a huge sum of money.
She didn't refuse and took the money along with the ticket. Lu Jiangtao looked at her. Facing his daughter's indifference, he didn't know what to say. He scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, and told her that he was going to rest.
Lu Xiangxiang watched him go upstairs and followed him upstairs to rest.
She was indeed a little tired from the morning car ride and didn't know how long she had slept. When she got up and looked at her watch, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
Since there is nothing to do here, why not go out shopping? After getting up, she tidied up her messy hair and put some cold cream on her face to moisturize it.
She took out a lipstick and put it on. She had a beautiful face and was in her youth. She had no dark circles, no wrinkles, and no flaws on her face. Therefore, it would be nice to use a lipstick to improve her complexion.
After doing all this, she picked up her bag and went downstairs. The bag was made by her grandmother. It was a cross-body bag of the same color as her sweater. The bag was quite big and could hold a lot of necessities. Of course, she put all the money Lu Jiangtao gave her into the bag.
Aunt Niu was cleaning downstairs when she saw Lu Xiangxiang coming down and quickly asked, "Miss Lu, are you going out?"
"Well, I'm going out for a walk."
"Do you want me to accompany you?"
Lu Xiangxiang shook his head: "No need, I remember the way back, but the security guard may need to check it out. I'll ask them to call you when the time comes."
Aunt Niu didn't insist on taking her out. After all, she was such a grown-up and she couldn't get lost.
After going out, she walked outside and wandered around the courtyard. Since she would be living here for a while, it would be better to get familiar with the place.
While strolling around, a breeze suddenly blew, lifting the leaves from the trees, and some yellow leaves actually fell on her head.
She reached out and took the thing above her head down. Oh, it turned out to be a maple leaf.
Maple leaf?
He raised his head and his pupils shrank suddenly, his eyes full of shock.
This, this, this is so beautiful, isn’t it?
There are tall maple forests on both sides of the road, and the red leaves on the trees seem to have turned the sky and the earth red.
I didn’t expect that there would be such a beautiful place in this compound. It’s nice.
She held the leaf in her hand. The leaf was very beautiful and had no flaws. She could take it back and use it as a bookmark or something.
Thinking of this, she put the leaves into her bag. Although the scenery was beautiful, there would be many opportunities in the future.
What Lu Xiangxiang didn't see was that on the other side of the street corner, a pair of deep eyes were staring at her, with amazement in their eyes.
It took her a while to reach the door, and she smiled at the soldiers on guard as she went out.
Although the soldiers were standing, they were still amazed by the sweet smile.
Good, good, what a beautiful girl.
Lu Xiangxiang didn't know what kind of commotion he had caused, so he turned around and went outside.
…
There weren't many people on the street, most of them were going to work or working, but there were still some people there.
The capital is a very desirable place. It is more prosperous than other places. In particular, the department store is four stories high and very large, not smaller than modern department stores.
There are a lot of things displayed inside, including men's clothing, women's clothing, cloth for making clothes, watches, bicycles, etc.
She had no shortage of clothes, as her grandmother had made them for her, and the styles were even more beautiful than these.
But she didn't come here to shop without buying anything. She just bought something when she saw something that interested her.
When she came out of the department store, her hands were full of food.
Just as she was about to get on the bus to go back, she suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from behind. She couldn't avoid it in time and was knocked to the ground, and the pastries in her hands scattered all over the floor.
The person who knocked her down quickly got up and ran away without even saying a word of apology. Lu Xiangxiang looked surprised.
"Catch the thief, catch the thief." A woman behind me shouted.
Lu Xiangxiang realized that it was a thief, and she quickly stood up and rushed forward.
The thief was a very fast runner when stealing things, but he never expected that there was someone who could run faster than him and caught up with him in no time.
She rushed forward quickly, jumped up and kicked the thief down.
The thief fell to the ground and looked at Lu Xiangxiang fiercely: "You bitch."
As he spoke, he raised a knife in his hand and wanted to stab her. Lu Xiangxiang dodged sideways, but she didn't expect that the thief was just feinting and turned around and left.
Lu Xiangxiang was stunned, and when she came to her senses, she immediately chased after him.
But she didn't expect a figure to pass by her from behind, and then the thief was kicked down again.
Lu Xiangxiang looked up and saw a man in army green clothes with his back to her. He was pressing on the man with a pair of handcuffs in his hands.
"Thief, thief, give me back my things." The person who had just shouted to catch the thief caught up.
She was a middle-aged woman in her thirties or forties, and she was out of breath at the moment.
Seeing that the police officer subdued the man, she breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward: "Thank you so much, police officer. I don't know what I would do without you." She said with tears in her voice.
