Leaving the alley,
Lu Qingzhou hailed a taxi at the intersection.
After the driver stopped the car,
Turning to Lu Qingzhou, he asked, "Young man, where are you going?"
"Driver, to Jiangbei District!"
After fastening his seatbelt, Lu Qingzhou looked at the taxi driver and replied,
"It's about 20 kilometers from here to Jiangbei District. I'll use the meter for you!"
The taxi driver continued to inquire!
Lu Qingzhou thought for a moment,
"Okay, take the shortest route for me!"
"no problem,"
The two reached an agreement, and the taxi headed towards Jiangbei District!
...
Jiangbei District is considered a suburban area of Jiangcheng.
Although it is in the suburbs,
Fortunately, transportation is relatively convenient.
Lu Qingzhou got out of the car.
Carrying the bag of Chinese medicine, he headed towards the place where Zhang Ruoshui rented a house.
After passing through several alleys,
Lu Qingzhou stopped in front of a house!
The three-story house standing in front of us...
It's his nanny's old house!
The nanny's family has now moved to the urban area of Jiangcheng.
The old house has remained vacant and uninhabited ever since.
The nanny learned that the mother and son had returned from the north and had not yet found a place to stay.
He then warmly invited them to stay temporarily at his new home in Jiangcheng.
However, Lu Qingzhou's mother politely declined.
His mother wanted to find a quieter house.
Finally, guided by the nanny, they arrived here.
Lu's mother was quite satisfied with this place.
at first,
The nanny's family generously offered to let them stay for free, but Zhang Ruoshui insisted...
They still paid 1,000 yuan in rent each month as a token gesture.
that's all,
Lu Qingzhou's mother stayed here for more than a year.
There are very few people to bother you here!
Peace and quiet!
Lu Qingzhou glanced at it.
The iron gate to the courtyard of the house was tightly closed.
He searched his body for a moment,
Finally, I pulled out a key!
Unlock the courtyard gate.
Lu Qingzhou gently pushed open the iron gate, stepped inside, and casually closed the gate behind him.
Lu Qingzhou knocked on the vermilion wooden door.
moment,
Creak!
Zhang Ruoshui gently opened the door.
He glanced towards the door!
Upon catching a glimpse of Lu Qingzhou's figure,
Overjoyed, he quickly pulled Lu Qingzhou into the house.
"Son, don't you have to work today?"
Lu Qingzhou's gaze quietly fell on Zhang Ruoshui's face.
It seemed that she had a few more strands of silver hair.
The wrinkles around my eyes have gotten deeper!
A wave of guilt washed over Lu Qingzhou.
It is said that raising children is for old age security.
But he, as a son, didn't do a good enough job!
His mother has gone through many hardships with him over the years!
My nose feels a little sore!
Gradually,
His eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of mist!
Zhang Ruoshui turned around and chuckled softly.
"You little rascal, your eyes are so sentimental!"
She quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and a gentle look appeared on her face!
Lu Qingzhou grinned.
"I came here to handle some business matters, and I just happened to be passing by, so I brought you the medicine. I'll put it in the refrigerator."
Lu Qingzhou turned around.
Put the medicine in the refrigerator in the kitchen!
He pulled up his collar and wiped the corner of his eye.
Take a few deep breaths,
Then they returned to the living room.
Zhang Ruoshui poured Lu Qingzhou a glass of water.
Lu Qingzhou hurriedly stood up and held it in her hands.
"I'm your son, why are you being so polite with me?"
Zhang Ruoshui sat back on the sofa.
His gaze remained fixed on Lu Qingzhou.
Lu Qingzhou felt extremely uncomfortable under her mother's gaze.
He was all too familiar with that look in his eyes!
She hurriedly asked, "Mom, what's wrong with your eyes? You keep staring at me. Is there something dirty on my face?"
Zhang Ruoshui sighed softly.
As if talking to himself, he said, "My son isn't bad-looking either, so why is he still single? Is it because our Lu family's ancestral graves weren't properly buried?"
Lu Qingzhou, "..."
I felt that his mother's words were loaded with hidden meanings and were all sarcastic remarks about him.
But he had no evidence!
Lu Qingzhou felt quite helpless!
They were already prepared to make their escape.
After Zhang Ruoshui finished speaking,
It seems like something has come to mind?
Pulling Lu Qingzhou aside, he asked, "Have you added that girl on WeChat?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingzhou looked somewhat embarrassed.
With a slightly unfocused look in her eyes, she said, "I've already added them, and we've even chatted a bit."
Lu Qingzhou blurted out a lie!
"Really? What did you talk about?"
Zhang Ruoshui stared at Lu Qingzhou and asked suspiciously!
As the saying goes, no child is better than their mother.
Lu Qingzhou's shifty gaze,
It's obvious he's lying.
Meeting Zhang Ruoshui's shrewd eyes,
to be honest,
Lu Qingzhou felt a little guilty!
He hurriedly avoided Zhang Ruoshui's gaze and forced an explanation,
Anyway...we talked a lot!
"Let me see your phone,"
Zhang Ruoshui didn't believe it at all!
She reached out to snatch the phone from Lu Qingzhou's hand.
Lu Qingzhou quickly stepped aside.
Dodge Zhang Ruoshui's outstretched hand.
"I have some private information on my phone that I can't show you."
Lu Qingzhou gripped her phone tightly.
We will defend to the death the last fragment of the lie!
Zhang Ruoshui sat up straight.
