Pastoral Daily Life - Chapter 168

[Chapter 168]

The primary school that Lu Lingxi attended was located in Jing’an District of Zhongjing. At this time, it was summer vacation. There were no students in the school, and it was very quiet.

The two were stopped by the old man who was the gatekeeper at the gate of the school. Lu Lingxi came forward to greet them obediently, saying that he used to be a student here, and he came back to check it out. He and Yan Yue were both good looking, and they didn’t look like bad people at that station. The old man glanced at them vigilantly, asked Lu Lingxi’s name again, and waved them in.

“Thank you uncle.” Lu Lingxi thanked with a smile, dragged Yan Yue and ran in.

The old man couldn’t help laughing when he saw Lu Lingxi’s smile. He felt that this child was very likable, but the name seemed a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere. Where is it? When people get old, their memory is not good. The old man seriously wrote down the words of visitor Lu Lingxi on the blackboard at the door, turned his head and went back to the hut to read the newspaper.

A few minutes later, the principal of the school personally sent Lu Guangjing to the school gate. Lu Guangjing contacted the school some time ago and planned to donate to build an indoor stadium here. The school welcomes donations from the outside world. The principal personally accompanied Lu Guangjing to visit the school several times. The school is not clear about the Lu family, but I vaguely heard that the children of the Lu family went to school here 11 years ago, and then dropped out due to physical reasons. Now that the child has passed away, the family hopes to do something to commemorate the child.

“Mr. Lu, don’t worry about the stadium. I’ll call you when I make arrangements here…” The

principal suddenly closed his mouth in the middle of speaking. He found that Lu Guangjing seemed to have seen something, and was staring at the hanging wall hanging on the side of the wall. The small blackboard he was holding on, his expression was a little wrong. The principal followed and looked over, and the words “Lu Lingxi” came into view. He was slightly taken aback, isn’t that the name of the child who died in the Lu family?

The principal was stunned, Lu Guangjing turned around in despair, and said in a low voice, “I’ll go first.” The

principal asked what happened to Lu Lingxi, but he felt that Lu Guangjing’s son had passed away, so he was a little bit on the pole. Ugly, after hesitating in his heart, Lu Guangjing got into the car parked on the side of the road and signaled the driver to leave first.

After seeing Lu Guangjing away, the principal couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked the old man at the door, who is this Lu Lingxi? As soon as the old man described it, the age was right, and the experience of going to school here before, not to mention the same name and surname, the principal’s face immediately turned white.

The headmaster was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he muttered in his heart that he would see a ghost in the daytime. On the other side, Lu Guangjing closed his eyes, feeling that God was reminding him to remember to atone for his sins all the time. In recent days, the name Lu Lingxi has appeared very frequently in the Lu family’s old house. Even when he lived outside, he heard rumors in the old house about his father’s other son and grandson. Lu Guangjing doesn’t care about business matters. He just occasionally thinks of the child with the same name as Xiaoxi. He can’t help but wonder what would have happened if Xiaoxi hadn’t had an accident a year ago? Too bad there is no if in this world.

Halfway through the car, Lu Guangjing opened his eyes and said, “Let’s go to Li’s house.” The

driver simply turned a corner and gave Lu Guangjing a sympathetic look while the servants at home were calling Mrs. Lu crazy. Yes, he was mad at the eldest young master, and now he has been taken back by his parents’ family. The driver thought about it, if the little brat in the family dares to be so unfilial in the future, let’s see if he doesn’t break the brat’s legs. The driver thought he was hiding, but Lu Guangjing noticed it. Lu Guangjing laughed at himself, this driver just came to the Lu family, and he still doesn’t know what happened to the Lu family.

All the way to Li’s house, Li Caiying’s eldest brother Li Yao happened to be there. He was not polite to Lu Guangjing, “What are you doing here? I have arranged for a lawyer to send you a lawyer’s letter. Caiying wants to divorce you, so prepare for it.”

Lu Guangjing whispered, “I won’t get a divorce. , it is my responsibility for Caiying to become what it is now, I…”

“Who’s responsibility is irrelevant now.” Li Yao interrupted him, “I know my sister, she has a personality problem and is too paranoid. When you were happy outside, I persuaded her She wanted to get a divorce, but she insisted on having a child to tie you up. Later, Wei An was born prematurely, and her spirit was not right. When Wei An fell ill, Caiying felt sorry for Wei An, who was full of maternal love. The bet is on Weian. In recent years, the Li family has only watched Caiying around Weian, but did not realize that her spirit has become more and more paranoid. When it breaks out now, everything is too late.”

He said here He glanced at Lu Guangjing slightly meanly, “Don’t say you want to take care of Caiying now, to be honest, I don’t trust you. No matter how many mistakes Caiying has done over the years, when she married you, she always ran to live with you. I went. But what about you? I won’t talk about what happened back then. Later, if you pay attention to Caiying’s emotions, she will not become what she is now.”

“I…”

“You don’t need to explain.” Li Yao followed closely. He said, “I know you’re sad when Xiaoxi died.” He paused and said, “…Xiaoxi is a good boy, so now it can be regarded as Caiying’s retribution.”

Li Yao sighed, and Lu Guangjing’s heart trembled, “Only An…”

“Don’t talk to me about Wei’an.” Li Yao’s face froze, “Caiying is sorry for Xiaoxi, but there is nothing wrong with Wei’an. Since Wei’an thinks that his life is better than death after so many years, it is Caiying. His obsession forced him to live, and the Li family and him had nothing to say.”

“I…”

“Okay, you can go.”

Li Yao interrupted Lu Guangjing again and ordered the housekeeper to send Lu Guangjing out. , the Li family no longer wants to have anything to do with the Lu family. After sending Lu Guangjing away, Li Yao turned around and went to Li Caiying’s room. The doctor said that Caiying had just taken a sedative and fell asleep. Li Yao looked at his sister’s pale and thin face and sighed deeply. He didn’t know how Caiying made life like this. The eldest son, who took heart and lungs, was a white-eyed wolf, and the younger son, who was well-behaved and sensible, died early. The man she has captured all her life is a useless person, and she has become paranoid and crazy since she was middle-aged. If she had known that this day would come, would she still look at Lu Guangjing and insist on marrying into the Lu family?

No one could answer Li Yao’s question.

Standing at the door of Li’s house, Lu Guangjing gave him one last look, then hunched over and got into the car again. Caiying went crazy, Xiaoxi died, and Wei An was sacrificed by the Lu family as an abandoned child. He originally wanted to come to Li Yao to see if he could find a way to get Wei’an out, but Li Yao… Lu Guangjing couldn’t blame Li Yao for being ruthless, after all Caiying was stimulated by Wei’an. The previous quarrel between Wei’an and Caiying flashed through his mind, Lu Guangjing shrunk in the chair tiredly, he really didn’t know that Wei’an lived with resentment for so many years.

He and Caiying put so much thought into Wei An, and in the end, they selfishly forced Wei An to live, and they were sorry for him. Lu Guangjing really didn’t know what went wrong? Why did Wei An become like this? He still remembered how well-behaved Wei An was when he was a child, and how good his relationship with Caiying was, but in the blink of an eye, everything was not what he remembered.

After Lu Guangjing got home, there was not a single person in the empty house, and even the maids didn’t know where they went. He sat hunched on the sofa and looked at the family portrait hanging on the opposite wall… Soon he would be the only one left in the family.

On the street not far from Lu’s house, Lu Lingxi looked at Lu’s house from a distance. He had lived there for eighteen years, and still felt that the house was strangely unfamiliar.

Yan Yue bought a cup of lemon tea from the cold drink shop on the road and handed it to Lu Lingxi. Lu Lingxi took back the lemon tea and suddenly said, “Brother Yan, let’s go back to Fengcheng, I miss my mother.”

Yan Yue raised his hand to touch it. Touching Lu Lingxi’s hair, he said softly, “Okay.” The

two said to Ye Kang, then went home and simply packed up their things, and drove away from Zhongjing that afternoon. The expressway from Zhongjing to Fengcheng was full of cars, and the traffic jam was severe. Yan Yue said casually, “I should have taken the high-speed train back.”

Da Hei called out immediately, reminding him of his existence.

Lu Lingxi laughed, scratched Da Hei’s chin soothingly, and called Wang Shuxiu.

“Mom, Big Brother Yan and I are on our way home. There is a traffic jam on the expressway, and it will probably be night when we get home.”

“Why so fast? Didn’t you spend a few more days in Zhongjing?” Wang Shuxiu was a little surprised.

Holding the phone, Lu Lingxi said seriously, “I miss my mother.”

“Little bastard.” Wang Shuxiu laughed and scolded, “What do you want to eat when you come back tonight? I’ll make it for you first.”

“…I want to eat pork ribs with glutinous rice.”

” Okay. .”

Hanging up the phone, Wang Shuxiu greeted Xiao Feng with a big belly and went out to buy ribs, if it’s too late, there will be no better ribs. Xiao Feng took his wallet and was ready to go out. Before leaving, he instructed Wang Shuxiu, “Xiaohua, don’t worry about anything, wait until I come back to wash rice.”

“I know.” Wang Shuxiu gave him an angry look. Xiao Feng smiled and touched Wang Shuxiu’s belly, feeling the movement of the child under his palm, and looked at Wang Shuxiu very tenderly, “Xiaohua, what do you want to eat? I’ll buy it back together.”

“The refrigerator is full of food, don’t buy it. That’s it.” Wang Shuxiu stopped her.

Xiao Feng smiled and went out the door, thinking that Xiaohua likes to eat the sauce elbow in the front of the street, just as Da Hei is back, he will buy a few elbows to eat at night. Xiaoxi likes glutinous rice and lotus root, Yan Yue seems to like the braised pork sold in the same store, and also weighs them together, and… he walks and thinks about what to buy, all of which are liked by the family.

family? Xiao Feng laughed silently, and when the child in Xiaohua’s belly was born, it was time to take a family photo again. This time, he also called Yan Yue, yes, and the little black with lost teeth.

As if he had a tacit understanding, Lu Lingxi was also talking to Yan Yue about taking the family portrait again. “We’ll take pictures when the little brother is born. Big Brother Yan, Da Hei, Xiao Hei, we will all be together .

”

Satisfied, he tied a knot around Lu Lingxi’s wrist.

The traffic flow in front restarted, the corners of Yan Yue’s lips curled up, she glanced at Lu Lingxi with a smile, stepped on the accelerator, and drove towards home.
