In addition, Mr. and Mrs. Lu don't usually go out, and there's an open-air balcony on the eighth floor, which makes it convenient for them to come out and enjoy the sun.
We arrived at the kitchen.
Lu Wanqing started making lunch.
She started taking charge of the household at a very young age, and her cooking skills are quite good.
Although the dishes looked very ordinary and bland.
However, it is also very suitable for providing food and warmth for a family.
Of course, it's also because Lu's mother can't eat too much oily food, so their meals have rarely been oily over the years, except for the occasional luxury during the Lunar New Year.
That's how I dealt with it the rest of the time.
The father and daughter did not rush to eat, but took care of Lu's mother first. Due to what happened back then, Lu's mother suddenly suffered a cerebral infarction, resulting in hemiplegia and being bedridden for many years.
The family had spent almost all their savings on medical treatment for Lu's mother, but her condition still showed no improvement. However, they did not give up.
Lu's mother is Lu Wanqing's mother and also Lu's father's wife. They are a family, and as long as there is hope, they will seek treatment.
Although Lu's mother had given up, Lu's father's guilt prevented him from continuing down this path.
If it weren't for him, Lu's mother wouldn't be in this state now.
Although, he can't do anything right now.
Because of his leg problems, he even has difficulty going downstairs.
This family is entirely supported by Lu Wanqing, their daughter.
If anyone feels guilty about this, it should be towards Lu Wanqing.
Help Lu's mother with a simple wipe, and prop up the pillow so she can lean against it.
Mr. Lu lovingly fed him.
Mr. Lu only stopped eating when his mother could no longer eat.
The father and daughter then started eating.
We finished a simple lunch.
Lu Wanqing helped her father to the balcony.
From the edge, you can overlook the scenery below.
A trace of memory lingered on Lu's father's weathered face, before he gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Clearly, that memory wasn't very pleasant.
She turned her head to look at her daughter beside her.
Like him, Lu Wanqing gazed at the scenery below with a slightly dazed expression.
"Daughter, have you been having a hard time lately?"
Lu Wanqing shook her head slightly.
"Father, I'm fine."
"..."
Mr. Lu sighed. Although his daughter's expression didn't reveal her emotions, she had indeed suffered a lot over the years.
But Lu Wanqing didn't complain to him about anything, and her father didn't keep asking.
He simply asked, "So, is work going smoothly?"
Lu Wanqing paused for a moment, then fell silent; this topic was very sensitive for her.
This is also her biggest source of anxiety right now.
She inexplicably lost her job at the TV station due to some mistakes, and without any attempt to salvage the situation, she was simply fired.
At the 4S store, she was unable to stay there any longer because of the disturbance caused by that group.
Although, all wages were settled.
But losing their jobs resulted in huge losses.
If it weren't for that young man's large spending, those people probably wouldn't have given up yet.
However, this will only be a temporary pause.
After all, she had no background and was powerless. Even if she thought she had paid back the debt, the power of the argument still ultimately remained in the hands of the other party.
Such things leave one feeling powerless.
There was no way to resist.
But if it weren't for her, that kind of thing wouldn't have happened back then.
My happy family wouldn't have turned out like this.
Therefore, she doesn't complain.
Of course, I wouldn't tell my parents either.
Now.
Having lost their jobs, their need for support has been interrupted.
I really don't know how to bring this up.
"Don't worry, Father, work is going well, my colleagues are very kind to me, and I'm very happy with my job."
Lu Wanqing smiled and made up a lie, trying her best not to worry her father.
Mr. Lu nodded. If he weren't currently inconvenient, he wouldn't have let his daughter endure so much.
The parents had a brief conversation, and Mr. Lu did not ask any further questions.
Lu Wanqing did not say anything that would cause concern.
Mr. Lu did not ask any more questions and went back inside to continue keeping Mrs. Lu company.
Lu Wanqing, still on the balcony, looked up at the sky helplessly.
Now that I've lost my job, what am I going to do?
If it were an ordinary job, it would be fine; you could grit your teeth and get through it.
But she can't.
The burden is too heavy, and ordinary people simply cannot support it.
But……
Even if you give up what you love, it's really too difficult to find a job that you're satisfied with and can afford.
Lost in thought for a long time, she suddenly heard her phone ring.
Looking at the caller ID, Lu Wanqing felt conflicted.
Ultimately, I chose to connect.
She fell silent after hearing what the other person said.

"Hello, this is your takeout. Enjoy your meal."
A delivery driver smiled and handed the food to the customer, then said, "If you think the service is good, please give me a five-star review" before going downstairs.
I walked down from the eighth floor.
The delivery driver sat on his small electric stove, looking at the rearview mirror on his electric scooter, and casually wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Then he sighed helplessly.
Ten years have passed, and the memories of the past are gone and can never be relived.
Now, he is just one of many people struggling to make a living in the vast sea of humanity.
He took out a Hongtashan cigarette, lit it with a lighter, and took a melancholy drag.
He looked up at the sky, slowly exhaled, and then smiled and said, "The music has ended, the people have dispersed, the past love has become a dream, I wonder if they are doing well."
"Unfortunately... we can't go back anymore."
Where are my family members now...?
Just as he was reminiscing about the past, suddenly, the music of "tU vivi nellaria" came from afar.
He paused, his body suddenly trembled, and the familiar song made his pupils dilate. He turned his head to look in disbelief.
Before I even turned around, that familiar aristocratic aura was already wafting over me.
Upon seeing that familiar red hair and stylish outfit...
The cigarette he was holding fell to the ground.
Leng Shao carried the speaker and slowly walked towards him. Looking at the long-lost person in front of him, Leng Shao casually tossed his long hair.
"Snow Fairy, it's been a long time."
"Cold, Young Master Leng?"
"It's me. Come back. I need you."
"I……"
The delivery guy, who was called "Snow Demon," trembled, unsure how to respond.
Leng Shao smiled slightly and said seriously, "The music has ended, the people have dispersed, but the Burial of Love still exists. This time, I need you to revive Burial of Love with me."
[...]
"Dinner's ready! Dinner's ready!"
The cement factory foreman shouted something, and everyone stopped.
The young man, dressed in all black, dusted off the cement on his clothes, picked up his bowl to get his food without expression, and then squatted down to eat silently.
His eccentricities were something the others had long been used to.
Although this young man has been working here for some time.
However, they still weren't quite used to some of the other party's habits.
Every time after get off work...
The young man would put some cement in his pocket, then walk to the open space and start practicing his dance.
He said it sounded like some kind of ghost dance.
As cement flew everywhere, the ghost danced.
