"Are uncle and aunt okay?" Lu Qin felt the atmosphere in the car was a bit depressing and started to make small talk.
"Well, everything is fine." Xiao Xu sat in the car, feeling a little uneasy. He actually didn't want Lu Qin to go.
Not only was it a bit disgraceful for their family to travel all the way here, sleeping in the open air, but more importantly...
Lu Qi is also there.
Because of her pregnancy, Lu Qi basically stayed at his house. If she was not satisfied with something, she would cry and say that she was pregnant with his child. Xiao's mother was helpless and could not do anything to the child, so she could only let her do what she wanted.
He didn't want Lu Qin to see Lu Qi in his house.
However, due to Qu Dongbo's stubborn request, Xiao Xu finally got into Qu Dongbo's car and headed towards the shelter.
The geographical locations of the refuge, Jinxiu Community, and Sheshan are almost in the shape of a triangle, and the largest road in and out of Antu County is located between the refuge and Sheshan.
The troops are now stationed here. All refugees who want to enter Antu County need to come down and verify their identities one by one. They can only enter after being screened.
Xiao Xu's family drove more than a thousand kilometers to get here. Now, the family is still living in the car until they find a suitable place to stay.
The car was parked on the side of the road not far from the shelter.
There are a lot of vehicles parked in a crooked manner there. Most of them are passers-by from other places. They park their cars here and form a circle, and call it "home".
Qu Dongbo's car was parked outside the area. Xiao Xu got out of the car and said that he would go and tidy up first and drive the car over later to go together.
Lu Qin nodded and didn't force herself to go forward to help. She could see that Xiao Xu was avoiding her.
Looking at his back as he walked away, Qu Dongbo asked, "Why, you still have to watch him go after he's gone?"
Lu Qin turned her head and looked at him with a smile: "But I saw you said to look at the front."
When Qu Dongbo heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle, then reached out and took out a small box from somewhere.
Lu Qin blinked, not knowing what he was trying to say.
"Open it."
Lu Qin stretched out her hand: "Ah, you're not going to give me a ring, are you?"
"What are you thinking about?" Qu Dongbo slapped him on the head.
The box was very small, only the size of a palm, but it looked very nice. When Lu Qin opened it, there were two chocolates inside.
“Hahahahaha…” Lu Qin finally realized, aren’t these usually boxes for wedding candies or something like that?
Did Qu Dongbo treat her as a child?
"What are you laughing at?" Qu Dongbo was a little embarrassed. He was also on duty outside and brought it back by chance. He thought it was very cute and gave it to Lu Qin.
Lu Qin opened a chocolate and put it in his mouth.
Sweet.
Although the gift Qu Dongbo gave her for the first time was very special, she was still very happy. At least when they were out, she would be the first person he thought of when he had something, wasn't that right?
…
Xiao Xu just sat in the car, watching Lu Qin and Qu Dongbo flirting from a distance.
His heart was like the frost hanging outside the car, which would shatter with the slightest touch.
"Oh, who are we waiting for?" Lu Qi sat in the back seat, holding his waist with one hand, complaining, "Where are we going in this freezing weather? My parents aren't here either. Why don't you bring them and my brother over? I've been vomiting all day long, and I can't even have a bowl of hot soup."
Although Lu Fenghua's family depended on Xiao Xu for their livelihood, one car could not accommodate so many people, so they had to drive their own small, broken car all the way.
But Lu Qi always followed Xiao Xu's family's car. It was a high-end car, and she felt comfortable sitting in it.
"What are you arguing about?" Father Xiao knew that his son went out to take back his house. If he didn't say anything now, it must be because he had something to say, so he interrupted.
Lu Qi didn't dare to complain anymore.
Normally, if it was Xiao Xu's mother who spoke, she would make a fuss using the excuse of having a stomachache, but once Xiao's father spoke, she generally did not dare to refute.
"Mom and Dad, the person who will have dinner with us later is the current direct leader of Antu County. He should be from the military." Xiao Xu rolled up the car window and said to his father.
Father Xiao looked solemn.
He was also an official, although only a small local official. However, he knew that in today's society, anyone who could help him go home with just a few words must be no ordinary person.
But he didn't expect that he was the actual person in charge of the entire Antu County.
He is not a fool.
Ever since entering Antu County, he could sense the difference of this place.
Although the place is not very big, Antu County shows absolute advantages compared to the towns they passed through during their escape.
It's not just order and stability, even the refugees you pass by don't look as pale as those in other cities.
It is obvious that Antu County must have done a very good job in disaster relief.
He immediately realized that the leaders of Antu County were probably not ordinary people.
"How did you get to know this person?" Xiao Xu's mother also asked.
"Dad, you don't have to think too much." Xiao Xu glanced at Lu Qi: "It's my former colleague."
Father Xiao seemed to be thinking about something.
Lu Qi couldn't understand all this and just kept complaining about being hungry.
"Let's go, get off the car." Xiao Xu shook off the thoughts in his mind and said with determination.
…
"Hello, uncle and aunt." Lu Qin held Qu Dongbo's arm intimately and greeted Xiao Xu's parents: "Let's go. The conditions don't allow it right now, and there's nothing to treat you. We can only make do in the nearby cafeteria. Please understand."
Father Xiao was fine, as he was a smart man and had already noticed something unusual in his son's words, so he wasn't surprised. Mother Xiao was visibly taken aback when she saw Lu Qin. She had never expected that the benefactor who helped her family was actually a girl.
"...Are you Lu Qin?" Xiao's mother was stunned, and then she thought of something and asked tentatively.
"So Xiao Xu introduced me to you. That's perfect. I don't have to make any effort." Lu Qin was very open and didn't feel embarrassed to come.
Mother Xiao was a little bit incredulous and looked at her son, only to see that he was staring at Lu Qin holding Qu Dongbo's hand intimately in a daze, and then he understood something.
"Ah... yes, yes." Mother Xiao regretted her hasty words and could only change her words, praising: "I just didn't expect that Miss Lu is so beautiful."
Lu Qi, who was standing behind, also heard Lu Qin's name. As if he couldn't believe it, he pushed aside Xiao's father and mother and stood in front of Lu Qin.
"Lu Qin! Why are you here?" Lu Qi's face was a little distorted.
It's not that she is narrow-minded, she has never believed that what happened to Lu Qin and her daughter in Rongcheng was true. In addition, more than three months have passed, and she has long forgotten that her family originally wanted to seek refuge with Lu Qin and her daughter.
She only knew that as long as she caught Xiao Xu, her life would not be miserable.
But now...
Lu Qin was standing right in front of her.
She was like a luminous body, out of tune with the surrounding environment.
Actually, there is no difference.
But they were surrounded by slum dwellers and refugees who lived in cars, and they didn't look like glamorous people.
Even though Lu Qin was wearing a hat due to the severe cold, with only half of her face exposed, one could still feel the superiority of her life, as if this devastating disaster had no effect on her.
In addition, the man standing next to her had a tall and straight figure. Although he was silent, he had his own majesty.
In comparison, she hadn't been able to take a shower for several days. Although her hair was combed smoothly and neatly, she couldn't help but smell.
She didn't think much of it at first, as everyone around her, including Xiao Xu's family, experienced the same thing. But people can't be compared.
In comparison, Lu Qin looked like a rich princess, while she was a gray Cinderella.
Lu Qi has liked comparing himself with his cousin since he was a child.
In just a moment, I felt unbalanced.
"Lu Qin, you shameless woman, how dare you come back to seduce my husband?" Lu Qi cursed without thinking, straightening her waist and tightly holding Xiao Xu to assert her sovereignty: "I'm telling you, I'm pregnant with the Xiao family's child! You want to destroy the relationship between me and Xiao Xu, no way!"
Lu Qi inherited his mother's voice, loud and sharp. With just a few words, he attracted many passers-by to stop and look over here.
Lu Qin almost laughed out loud.
Mother and daughter are mother and daughter, even the way they speak to each other is the same.
