Chapter 206 The Gloom of Lu Guosheng's Family
The car suddenly passed by, and Meng Qiuju couldn't catch up even if she tried to call out to it. And what could she have said? Ai Xiaoxia was now like a spirit, completely out of control.
Meng Qiuju is now ten years older than she was six months ago, and most of her hair is white. Her eldest son's wife has never been able to get pregnant, her youngest son's marriage has fallen through, her daughter's face has been disfigured, and her house has been sold. If it weren't for her children, she would have really wanted to die.
Watching the car disappear from her sight, she could only sigh. The only thing she was thankful for was that she now had a daughter who could go to school, and she could still find a way to exchange some money.
Ai Zhu has been very calm these days. She wants to take good care of her health. After the New Year, before they move to the dilapidated house, she will return to her own world. The city is her home.
Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen returned home, and the cheerful atmosphere at home already had the flavor of the New Year.
In the afternoon, Lu Jingshen received a call from Lu Jingxin. According to the gossip, their family would not return to the village for the New Year this year. They would come back on the first day of the New Year, but would not stay here. Their family is still in a mess, and Wang Jinfeng did not want the villagers to know about their family affairs for fear of being laughed at. Of course, Wang Jinfeng still hoped that her youngest son would not divorce, and she had been trying to reconcile them in the past few days, but Lu Jingxin and his mother had already made up their minds to divorce.
Lu Jingxin has his own ideas. He feels that his parents have not been happy these years, so it is better to let them separate. If they think of each other's good points after separation and can reconcile, it will also allow them to have a new way of getting along with each other. If they leave and are happy on their own, there is no need to force it.
As for Wang Jinfeng's opinion, Lu Jingxin did not take it into consideration, because he was also used to seeing Wang Jinfeng instigating the relationship between his parents. Although he was a boy, he was actually quite thoughtful. Wang Jinfeng had said a lot of bad things about his mother to him before.
When he was young, Lu Jingxin was often instigated by Wang Jinfeng to disobey Jiang Zhi. At that time, Lu Jingxin was young and ignorant, and often went against his mother, which made Jiang Zhi sad. Now that he has grown up, he understands that he is more sympathetic to his mother in his heart.
Naturally, Lu Jingxin made the call today from a public phone, so he talked a lot. He chatted with the Lu Jingshen brothers for more than half an hour. Lu Jingxin had no place to say what was in his heart, so he could only confide in Lu Jingshen.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Jingshen sighed repeatedly and told Ai Xiaoxia and the others this.
Lu Guojiu shook his head. "Hey, I always thought your uncle had the smoothest life. He was a good student when he was young, passed the college entrance examination, stayed in the city to work, married a city woman, and even brought your grandmother over. He was the pride of the Lu family. How could I have imagined that he would become like this?"
Ai Xiaoxia said, "Maybe his life has been too smooth, so he thinks everything will go smoothly for him. In fact, there's nothing wrong with a little ups and downs in life. Some people have sweetness first and then bitterness, while others have bitterness first and then sweetness."
Li Shaofen said: "Those who have never experienced sweetness are not afraid of bitterness, but if bitterness comes after sweetness, it is hard to accept."
Lu Jingyuan said quickly from the side: "Then I am willing to suffer first and then enjoy the sweetness."
Ai Xiaoxia looked at him and said, "You also lack training. When you get into high school next year, you can start working part-time during your free time to earn your own tuition. The more experience and hardships you endure when you are young, the more stable your path will be in the future."
Lu Jingshen strongly agreed with Ai Xiaoxia's proposal: "I think Xiaoxia is right. Although our family is not rich, Jingyuan has always been too well protected. He is more immature than his peers. He is not two years older than Jingxin, but his thinking is much different. He really needs to be tempered."
Li Shaofen nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, you are absolutely right. Jingyuan was weak and grew up slowly when he was young, so his family always treated him like a child. In fact, he is not a child anymore and even has an ID card. Others, Wensong and Jingxin, are like adults, but Jingyuan is just like a child."
Lu Jingyuan looked at everyone. He didn't know why they suddenly started to criticize him. However, what everyone said made sense and was for his own good, so he could only listen and accept it humbly.
Finally, when Uncle Dong from the East Courtyard came to change the title, everyone's teachings to Lu Jingyuan were interrupted, and Lu Jingyuan felt refreshed.
Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen also bought a lot of things from Uncle Dong's family in the East Courtyard. They always used their phone number before, and when Lu Guojiu was sick, they helped a lot, so it was only right that they bought some things.
They had originally planned to send it over later, but it was just right to give it directly to Uncle Dong, as it was a bag of food and daily necessities.
The good thing about Uncle Dong is that he is not polite when you give him anything. He is willing to give you anything he has at home. He smiles all day long and is very warm-hearted. You will feel that he is a good person as soon as you meet him.
After Uncle Dong left, Lu Jingyuan came to Ai Xiaoxia and urged her, "Sister-in-law, Dad didn't buy many fireworks for the New Year, but he bought some firecrackers and double-kick firecrackers. You're a girl, so I'm sure you like watching fireworks. Why don't you buy some more?"
Ai Xiaoxia looked at Lu Jingyuan: "Oh, you've learned to save the country in a roundabout way. If you want to buy it, just tell me. When did I have a job and you still play this trick on me, letting me see your little tricks. Isn't it embarrassing?"
"Sister-in-law, it's boring like this. Can't you give me some face?"
"You still have face? How come I don't know?"
"Sister-in-law, this time I'm begging you, okay? Buy me some fireworks."
Ai Xiaoxia looked at Lu Jingshen who was sitting on the edge of the kang and asked, "Shall we go to the supply and marketing cooperative again?"
Lu Jingshen asked Ai Xiaoxia: "What did Jingyuan trick you into doing again?"
Lu Jingyuan curled his lips: "You guys are really too boring. You can guess everything. It's boring."
Lu Jingshen looked at Lu Jingyuan and said, "It's boring. Forget it. Anyway, we will buy whatever we want. If you want to buy something, then you can figure it out yourself."
Lu Jingyuan said to Ai Xiaoxia, "Sister-in-law, I'm begging you, please help me."
Ai Xiaoxia looked at Lu Jingshen with a smile: "I'm going to buy some fireworks, let's go."
Lu Jingshen couldn't help but understand, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let's drive over and buy more so that someone can have a good time."
The three of them said goodbye to their parents and drove to the supply and marketing cooperative. The firecracker seller was in a separate room on the side. Because everyone else had stoves in the winter, and fireworks were afraid of fire, so he was in a separate room without a fire.
There are quite a variety of fireworks. Because there is still the fifteenth day of the first lunar month after the Chinese New Year, there is a sufficient stock of fireworks and firecrackers at this time.
Ai Xiaoxia looked at the little flying saucer, the sky-piercing monkey, the little bee, the woodpecker, the magic bullet, the flash bomb...
The salesperson told her that the ones without sound were small squeaking flowers. If she didn't dare to play those noisy ones, she could buy these small things, which were suitable for girls.
Ai Xiaoxia looked at Lu Jingshen. She was not afraid of anything else, but she didn't dare to set off firecrackers.
Lu Jingshen said, "Buy whichever one you like, and I'll show it to you."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled and started to pick the ones she liked.
Lu Jingshen smiled. It was rare for this little girl to be afraid of something.
Lu Jingyuan gave Ai Xiaoxia two boxes of firecrackers: "Sister-in-law, these don't need to be lit, just throw them on the ground and they will go off."
Ai Xiaoxia had an impression of this, as she had played with it as a child, so she quickly bought a few more boxes.
