Chapter 53 Chapter 53 (4 more) Our Mother
Lu Qinghe knew his son too well.
It is possible that others would pick a fight with Lu Yang, but Lu Yang would never cause trouble for others.
Although Zhuang Xiaohu apologized yesterday, the child seemed to have a bad temper. Moreover, he was under Yu Lili's high-pressure education. It was possible that he would get angry and seek revenge on Lu Yang.
But this is a matter involving children after all, and it is difficult to guard against it.
Along the way, she felt very distressed when she saw the scratches on the back of Lu Yang's hands, but she waited until now because she didn't want to ruin the children's good mood.
"Mom, we were about to come back, but Zhuang Xiaohu suddenly called Lu Yang."
Lu Yao took the initiative to step forward, feeling a little cautious and distressed. "Lu Yang, did he really capture you? If I had known earlier, I would have waited for you to come back together. I failed to protect you..."
Even though the twins always quarrel when they get together, they have always had a good relationship. They can criticize each other, but they will never allow the other to be bullied by others!
Lu Yang shook his head. "Even if you hadn't left, I would have agreed to his request and gone with him alone. I don't blame you."
"What request?" Lu Qinghe's tone became more serious. "What did Zhuang Xiaohu tell you?"
Lu Yang gave a brief account of the situation. After listening to it, Lu Qinghe did not feel relaxed, but instead felt a wave of fear.
Fortunately, I had reminded Lu Yang several times in advance to make sure he took care of his own safety first.
Otherwise, if I were really dragged to that desolate place by Zhuang Xiaohu, who knows what would happen.
If Lu Yang really had an accident, Lu Qinghe couldn't even imagine what she would do...
"How could you agree to this?" Zhao Zimo spoke first, his face filled with disbelief. "Lu Yao wasn't wrong when he called you stupid. He clearly had a purpose!"
Lu Yao pushed Zhao Zimo's arm and said, "Lu Yang is injured, don't talk about Lu Yang anymore!"
"..." Zhao Zimo snorted, "I just don't understand."
Lu Qinghe suppressed her emotions and cleaned up Lu Yang's wound. She looked at the still-deep mark and asked, "Did anyone else hear Zhuang Xiaohu tell you he was going to the back of the middle school?"
"Yes." Lu Yang recalled, "Sister Sun Sanni from Aunt Wang's family said hello to me after school, and there were a few classmates passing by, but when we went over later, it was just me and Zhuang Xiaohu."
"Yeah." Lu Qinghe wrapped the remaining gauze around Lu Yang's wound. "That's it for now. Let's go to the clinic after dinner."
Due to drug control, we are not allowed to buy too many Band-Aids at home, so we can only deal with it simply for the time being.
Zhao Zirui held Lu Yang's hand and blew on it carefully. "Does it still hurt, Brother Lu Yang? You are so brave. You actually insisted on playing the game."
"It was a little painful when I washed my hands just now, but I actually forgot about it when I was playing basketball. I didn't feel it at all." Lu Yang comforted Zhao Zirui in return.
"Are there any other wounds elsewhere?" Lu Qinghe carefully checked Lu Yang's upper body again.
Lu Yang shook his head: "No, he's not as strong as me, he just grabbed the back of my hand, that's all. Don't worry too much, Mom."
How can I not worry?
Lu Qinghe looked at her son, who was still as warm as the little sun, and picked him up helplessly and with heartache.
Lu Yang and Lu Yao are already seven and a half years old, and it has been a long time since they last held a child like this.
After such a sudden hug, my arms still felt a little weak.
Fortunately, it was only a few steps away. She carried Lu Yang to the sofa, found a towel to wrap him up and wipe him, and changed him into clean clothes. Only then did the emotions in her heart completely subside.
Lu Qinghe: "Don't ask Lu Yang why. You are not him, and your choices will definitely be different from his. He is soft-hearted. When he saw the child crying, he had to go with him just to comfort her."
Her tone was quite helpless.
There's nothing you can do about it, that's just the child's nature.
In addition, when the child was in the Wu family, the Wu family often pua this child to take care of others, so his personality has become a little bit flattering.
Fortunately, things have improved a lot now. When I get older and can distinguish right from wrong, I will definitely become more mature.
Zhao Zimo nodded silently.
Lu Yao, who knew Lu Yang well, also said, "When other children were in trouble at home, Lu Yang was always the first to help. Without my protection, Lu Yang would definitely be bullied. It's still my fault. Next time, I will definitely not leave Lu Yang alone."
"Zhuang Xiaohu is so cunning!" Zhao Zimo clenched his fists and cracked his joints. "He actually pretended to be pitiful and deceived people. How mean! I don't know what he wanted to do to trick Lu Yang over there. Auntie, why don't we go find him and ask him clearly now!"
Lu Yang: "He was either trying to delay me so I couldn't compete, or he simply wanted to beat me, but ended up losing."
Lu Yang was optimistic and happily took a leek and egg bun and started eating it.
"Eat first." Lu Qinghe arranged, "You've been running and jumping all day, let's eat first."
"Um."
"good."
"I can't eat anymore." Zhao Zimo took two bites of the bun and didn't want to eat anymore. "Hmph, you dare to touch my brother? I have to teach him a lesson. I'm going to find him."
"Come back first, don't rush."
Lu Qinghe frowned and pulled Zhao Zimo aside, "You don't want to eat the chicken legs anymore?"
“…”
Forgot the chicken legs.
Lu Qinghe's chicken legs were marinated and braised for two hours, becoming shiny, smooth, and fragrant. After Zhao Zimo was called, he sat down obediently and ate the chicken legs, but he looked a little depressed.
After dinner, Zhao Zimo went to wash the dishes, and Lu Yao followed him quietly.
"Don't be impatient." Lu Yao said.
Zhao Zimo was stunned, a little surprised: "What?"
"Anyway, just don't worry."
"...Are you looking for Zhuang Xiaohu?"
"Yeah." Lu Yao tilted her head and looked at the water in the pool. "Lu Yang is being bullied. Mom won't let us be bullied in vain. If Mom doesn't let you go, there must be a reason for not letting you go."
Zhao Zimo revealed a hint of sarcasm, "You're trying to teach me a lesson, little carrot head!"
"We have to trust our mother. Our mother is very smart, powerful, and great. She said she would protect us well."
we?
Our mother?
Zhao Zimo opened his mouth and wanted to say who is talking to you and us, but he burped first and couldn't say the words.
Lu Yao only said this subconsciously. After all, she and the other kids all said the same thing, and she didn't realize there was anything wrong with it.
Lu Yao: "Look, brother Zirui isn't worried at all. He just knows how to trust Mom. He was bullied back home before, and when Mom found out, she took him to seek justice."
"What about this?"
"yes."
Lu Yao chattered and told the whole story of what had happened before.
After listening to this, Zhao Zimo instantly sympathized with Zhao Zirui.
"I used to think Zhao Zirui..."
"What?"
Zhao Zimo was silent for a moment. "Nothing. I always thought that Dad stayed with me all year round and never mentioned going home because of Zhao Zirui. I thought he was living a good life at home."
"What else can I do without my mother?" Lu Yao blinked in confusion.
Zhao Zimo hummed.
Yes, but he doesn’t even have a father or a mother anymore…
Lu Yao: "Luckily, we have our parents here, so we are happy every day!"
Zhao Zimo: “…”
That’s true.
He lost his parents, but now he has a new father and mother... aunt.
"Zhao Zimo."
There was still a bit of a cool breeze at night, so Lu Qinghe put a coat on Lu Yang and prepared to go out.
"Ah?" Zhao Zimo poked his head out from the kitchen.
Lu Qinghe: "I'll take Lu Yang to the clinic to get some medicine, and then go to the family meeting. You stay home and look after your younger brother and sister."
Zhao Zimo heard something and asked, "Are you going to file a complaint?"
"Yeah." Lu Qinghe nodded lightly.
"Why don't you just go to her family and seek justice?"
Just now, Zhao Zimo heard what Lu Yao said and knew that Lu Qinghe had gone straight to her grandparents to seek justice for Zhao Zirui, so he was very confused.
"How do I find it?" Lu Qinghe looked over with the same confusion.
"There were only four or five scratches, and the two kids didn't really fight. And they were out in the open. Zhuang Xiaohu clearly wanted to embarrass Lu Yang. If he lied once, he could lie a second time. We didn't catch him red-handed, so what can we use to seek justice at her house?"
After these questions, Zhao Zimo was speechless.
Yes, he was just venting his anger and didn't think about these things at all.
"That seems to make sense." Zhao Zimo said blankly, "If we go there and he refuses to admit it, and we had a fight in the street yesterday, it's like we're looking for trouble. Then no one will know whose child lied."
"Well, do you understand?"
"I understand. But... what now? What if I complain to the family and they don't believe me?"
"Let's take it one step at a time. How about you come with me?" "Then I'll go too!" Lu Yao jumped three feet high and grabbed Lu Qinghe's hand without letting go.
“Wuwuwu…”
Zhao Zirui put on his shoes, jumped off the sofa, and trotted to the yard. "I don't want to be home alone. It's so scary!"
Lu Qinghe laughed, "Let's all go, Zhao Zimo, you started it, you'll be responsible for taking care of the remaining two later, let's go."
"Know!"
Now the whole family went out, attracting a lot of attention along the way.
The weather was getting a little warmer, and it didn't get dark so early. When they went out, there was still some faint afterglow in the sky.
The clinic of the Military Family Hospital is near the entrance. As I walked past, I couldn't help but ask questions when I saw people I knew and those I didn't.
"Qinghe, what are you doing?"
"Sister Lu, are you and your family out for a walk?"
"No, it's my Lu Yang who is injured." Lu Qinghe greeted everyone one by one.
"What? Is the injury serious?"
Lu Qinghe: "It's just a fight between kids. We can just go to the clinic and buy some band-aids. The other kids didn't want to be at home, so we followed them out. It's a good time to help them digest their food after dinner."
"Lu Yang got into a fight? Isn't your Lu Yang the most well-behaved and sensible kid? My son is in the same class as Lu Yang, and the teacher praises him for being smart and sensible every day. How could he get into a fight? Could he be being bullied by another kid?"
"Yes, yes."
Wang Ningyu's family hadn't finished their meal yet. They overheard something on the second floor and looked down with their bowl in hand. "Qinghe, you're not seriously injured, are you? Who bullied Lu Yang?"
"It's just kids fighting, it's nothing serious..."
Lu Qinghe said a few perfunctory words, and by the time they reached the clinic, everyone on the street knew the general idea of the Military Family Courtyard.
"Apply some hydrogen peroxide."
After arriving, the clinic doctor looked at Lu Yang's wound and frowned, "Did something scratch it?"
"The kids are fighting."
"Oh my, whose child is this? He doesn't even know how to wash his hands. There's mud under his nails. He needs to clean it. Parents, hold the child. It will hurt if hydrogen peroxide is applied to them."
Lu Qinghe also noticed that there was a little black mud spot on Lu Yang's deepest wound. She couldn't clean it out at home at the time, and she didn't try hard because she was afraid of hurting Lu Yang.
"Mother……"
Lu Yang suddenly grabbed Lu Qinghe's clothes.
Lu Qinghe held the child on her lap and covered his eyes. "Don't be afraid, it will be fine soon."
Zhao Zirui looked at the doctor's actions and suddenly hid behind Zhao Zimo.
Lu Yao didn't avoid it and read it carefully, but her eyes were a little red.
Lu Qinghe had experienced hydrogen peroxide before, and it would cause a stinging sensation when applied, so she was prepared for Lu Yang to cry. However, she didn't expect the child to just bury his head in Lu Qinghe's arm, and let the doctor treat the wound without saying a word, and then apply medicine and bandage it.
After it was over, Lu Yang shook his arms, raised his head, and looked at Lu Qinghe with red eyes.
Lu Qinghe immediately understood and gave him a thumbs up: "Lu Yang is so brave! Lu Yang is the bravest kid today!"
"Brother Lu Yang is so awesome!"
Lu Yao also nodded, "Lu Yang, I'll carry your schoolbag for you tomorrow!"
Even though Zhao Zimo thought it was a minor injury, he still admired the fact that the child of his age applied the medicine without crying, and gave him a thumbs up.
Lu Yang chuckled, his eyes were no longer red, and he looked very satisfied.
"It's a minor wound. The cut in the middle is a bit deep. It might hurt for a while, but it will heal after it's disinfected and scabs form."
"Thanks."
After receiving the daily replacement medicine, Lu Qinghe rushed to the family meeting before 7 o'clock.
Ying Lu is on duty and hasn't left yet.
When Zhao Zimo thought Lu Qinghe was going to complain, he heard Lu Qinghe say something else.
Lu Qinghe: "Uncle Feng often gives speeches at schools near us, and he always mentions the lost medal. Director Ying, if it was really lost in our family compound, I think we should mobilize everyone to look for it together."
"Ever since my Lu Yang heard about it, he's been looking for a job on his own for almost two months. He only recently asked for leave from Uncle Feng to play basketball. After all, he's our senior, and we can't let him down."
Ying Lu understood the situation and nodded. "No one has mentioned this to me before. You're right. I should definitely help look for it. Don't worry, I'll make sure to post a notice in the yard later."
"Um."
After saying this, Lu Qinghe called Lu Yang to Ying Lu's table. She picked up Lu Yang, exposed the back of her hand, and showed it to Ying Lu.
Ying Lu: "What happened? Did Lu Yang have a fight with someone?"
Lu Qinghe explained it briefly.
"My husband, Lu Yang, is mainly worried about the basketball game. He has appointments with so many children, and if he's late, there will be quite a few people waiting. I was thinking that if Lu Yang goes home and Zhuang Xiaohu still doesn't dare to go there by himself, why don't we adults go find Zhuang Xiaohu and have him take him to look for him? We can also return him to Grandpa Feng at the same time. The weather forecast on the radio says it might rain tomorrow morning. Since we have a clue, we should find it quickly."
What Lu Qinghe said was reasonable. Although Ying Lu felt something was wrong after listening to it, she still nodded.
"Well, since I'm about to get off work, I'll go look for Sister-in-law Yu."
"Well, I won't go. Lu Yang is injured, Zi Rui has some indigestion, and Lao Zhao is not at home. I'm alone at home. I'll go back and coax them to sleep."
"become."
Only after leaving the family association's office building did Ying Lu realize that something was wrong.
"Qinghe, from what you said, Zhuang Xiaohu didn't do it on purpose, did he?"
Lu Qinghe shook her head. "We wouldn't dare to say he killed her on purpose. After all, there was no one else around when they were fighting. They were just kids, so let's not speculate."
"You are so reasonable. If Yu Lili's child did this, they would definitely go to your house to make a scene."
Lu Qinghe remained silent.
But even if their identities were swapped, Yu Lili would be ignored if she made a fuss. Just like Lu Qinghe said, it is never a good idea to make random suspicions about a child without any evidence.
"Director Ying!!"
I had just taken a few steps when I heard a commotion coming from the front.
"Director Ying, Zhuang Xiaohu is missing from Sister Yu's house!"
