Views:

The old man of the Lu family is young but still full of energy. He does not live with them on weekdays. He lives in a suburban house with a babysitter, and has nothing to do with the old neighbors. , the days are not moisturizing.

It took more than an hour to drive from the city. It was almost two o'clock when Lu Jiaheng arrived. As soon as he pushed the door of the small courtyard and entered, he saw the old man playing with birds in the garden.

It was a budgerigar, and it looked like it was well-raised, with brightly colored fur, and round black bean-like eyes, looking at him very arrogantly.

Maybe animals are really spiritual. Lu Jiaheng has no patience for small animals, so he didn't attract small animals very much since he was a child. The budgerigar, Mr. Lu, has been raised for many years. When Lu Jiaheng was in high school I often play with it, but when I saw him at this time, I was fluttering happily, but I shut up all of a sudden, flapped my wings and hid behind Mr. Lu: "Come! Come!"

Lu Jiaheng looked at the green little thing desperately trying to hide back, and deliberately hummed and laughed twice: "Er dog, do you miss me?"

The budgerigar known as Ergou stood on the shoulders of the old man Lu, hiding his head behind the old man's hair, and didn't look at him at all, he looked extremely frightened.

Lu Jiaheng continued to hum, and when he hummed, the bird shook.

The old man Lu laughed and scolded: "You stinky boy, is it so easy for you to come here?"

Lu Jiaheng stopped teasing the bird, walked to the old man's side, bowed his head obediently and called out to his grandfather, "It's easy, I'll be here if you don't need a phone call."

Old Man Lu gave him a sideways look: "Then why is your dad's phone useless?"

The corners of Lu Jiaheng's lips twitched, and he said softly, "It's useless."

Ergou's head stuck out from behind to take a peek, Lu Jiaheng stood by the stone table in the small garden, leaning casually: "He came to complain to you again?"

The old man stretched out a hand: "Say you haven't been home for two months, and you won't answer the phone if you don't answer the phone."

Lu Jiaheng raised his eyebrows: "He called that home? That's right, it's his home."

Mr. Lu stopped talking.

Lu Jiaheng didn't speak. After a while of silence, the old man asked again, "Are you used to living in a house?"

Lu Jiaheng smiled: "I can't hide anything from you."

"Didn't you want to hide it from me," Old Man Lu also smiled, looking down at his small garden that was bare in winter, fiddling with dead branches, "I'm a junior."

Lu Jiaheng made a "hmm".

"What do you plan to do?"

Lu Jiaheng was quiet and said in a low voice, "No plans."

Old Man Lu sighed.

"A-Heng, Grandpa can't wait for you for long."

The door of the house was suddenly opened, and Lu Hongsheng came out: "Dad, come in quickly, it's cold outside." He saw Lu Jiaheng next to him, his face sank: "You still know how to come back?"

Lu Jiaheng smiled but not smiled: "Where are you going? This is Boss Lu's house?"

Lu Hongsheng sternly said: "You just talk to your dad like this! Look at what you're like! Every day you hang out with your friends, you don't go home for months or months, you don't go to class, you don't have anything to do, eat and drink. Prostitutes and gambling take all of it, just like you are now—"

Lu Jiaheng was so annoyed by his roar that his head hurt. He frowned and interrupted him impatiently: "I'm going back to the company for an internship during the winter vacation."

Lu Hongsheng was choked for a moment, and quickly reacted: "What did you say? Don't think it's so simple to come for an internship, what do you know? Do you understand the company's affairs? I'll let you come if you say it?"

"I don't understand, aren't you ready to learn about it?" Lu Jiaheng couldn't help but laugh, "The company isn't yours, why are you so proud?"

Mr. Lu didn't participate, and calmly touched Ergou's green little head.

Ergou immediately said sharply: "No! No!"

Lu Hongsheng blushed with anger, and after holding it for a long time, he looked at the silent old man, his eyes a little flustered: "Dad, that's not what I meant—"

Mr. Lu didn't speak, and looked sideways at Lu Jiaheng: "Winter vacation?"

Lu Jiaheng hummed.

The old man Lu laughed: "Why don't you suddenly stop being lazy?"

Lu Jiaheng lowered his eyes and said nothing.

He suddenly remembered that you guessed that all the big heads that were covered with black face were stuffed into the can, and after a while, the wind and the clouds were a can, and there was not enough to eat.

He curled the corners of his lips: "I want to keep a cat, it's too good to eat, I can't afford it without money."

On the way back, Lu Jiaheng took Grand Theft Auto all the way, and he shortened the time a lot.

Even so, it was almost dusk when he got home. He parked the car and went upstairs, stood at the door, stared at the button of the doorbell for a few seconds, a little hesitant.

After a few seconds, Lu Jiaheng took out the key and opened the door.

As soon as I looked up, I saw Chu Zhi lying on the sofa, holding the armrest of the sofa, and resting her chin on it, only showing a pair of big eyes, blinking at him: "Senior, what do you have for dinner?"

Lu Jiaheng was taken aback.

He didn't speak, watched her silent for a while, then suddenly leaned against the door and smiled.

The lights were not turned on in the room, and the warm red light of the setting sun was reflected one by one through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

The entrance was very dark, Lu Jiaheng lowered his head slightly, his eyebrows and eyes were half hidden by the shadow, only the curvature of the corners of his lips and the low laughter that overflowed.

Chu Zhi heaved a sigh of relief.

It looks like nothing bad happened this time.

Maybe reconciliation! - Chuzhi thought optimistically.

But looking at the previous posture, it seems that it is not so easy to have a good relationship. - Chuzhi wilted again.

She tilted her head, leaned her head on the back of the sofa, watched Lu Jiaheng walk in, and threw the keychain in her hand on the coffee table: "What do you want to eat?"

Chu Zhi didn't speak, looked at the bunch of keys for a few seconds, and suddenly asked, "Senior, did you drive there?"

Lu Jiaheng gave a "hmm", leaned over and took a bottle of mineral water from the box next to the sofa, raised his head to drink water.

The black eyelashes are slightly drooping, and the jawline is thin and beautiful.

Chu Zhi stared at his Adam's apple that rolled up and down as he drank water. He peeked at him for a while, looked away, quietly raised his hand and pinched his earlobe: "Aren't you motion sickness..."

Lu Jiaheng paused, turned his head and said calmly, "You can also drive with motion sickness."

"Can?"

"Well, it doesn't matter, and it's mainly because Lin Boyang's car was too unstable last time." Lu Jiaheng said solemnly.

Chu Zhi recalled it for a while, but she didn't remember whether the car was driving steadily or not, but she slept really well at that time.

She slid back into the sofa with her head sideways, a little guilty and a little annoyed.

Her current posture is really not very elegant. She is kneeling on the sofa, her arms are stretched forward and clawed on the armrest of the sofa.

Chu Zhi didn't realize this problem too much, because this position was actually very comfortable, and she was used to it. She buried her head in her knees and felt her heartbeat secretly.

kinda fast.

But she didn't run another 200 meters today, and tumbled on the sofa all afternoon.

She frowned, just thinking about it, when she felt the collar of her dress being pulled up by a force, Chu Zhi raised her head, Lu Jiaheng pulled her with one hand, stood beside the sofa and raised her eyebrows and looked at her: "You What pose is this?"

Chuzhi raised her head and said dumbly, "Do you want to learn? I can teach you, it's very comfortable."

"… "

Lu Jiaheng's eyelids jumped: "Get up, it's dinner time."

She hadn't gone out all day, Chuzhi was still wearing fluffy pink coral fleece bunny socks, the kind she wore at home, with her long ears hanging down on the sofa.

She went home and changed her socks. Ms. Deng and Mr. Chu were cooking in the kitchen. Chu Zhi cautiously crept back to the room, lying on the edge of the bed. Hearing her coming in, she raised her noble head and glanced at her lightly. At a glance, he fell down again.

Chu Zhi was about to touch him, but you guessed it, he let out an unhappy cry, and jumped out of bed lightly and ran out.

Don't let her touch it.

Chu Zhi was amused, and changed her clothes to say hello. Chu father held a carrot in his hand: "What about curry rice at night, aren't you at home?"

Chuzhi carried her schoolbag: "I'm going back to school, let's eat."

"Dad sent you?"

"No need." Chu Zhi put on her shoes and opened the door, "Then I'm leaving!"

The security door was slammed shut, and the first father frowned, looking a little melancholy: "My daughter doesn't let me send her to school now, and she was not happy if I didn't send her when she was a child."

Ms. Deng held a kitchen knife in her hand and cut potatoes neatly, without raising her head, and said, "You are old, so ugly, shameful."

First Father: "..."

When Chuzhi went downstairs, Lu Jiaheng was already sitting in the car and waiting. Lu Jiaheng also had several cars. He specially chose a mature and stable SUV. Although there was no sports car style, it was low-key and luxurious with connotation, and it was not exaggerated.

Sure enough, Chu Zhi saw "Huh" and said, "Senior, you are a little mature."

Lu Jiaheng's face was calm and calm: "Well, it's alright."

As soon as they left the community, Lu Jiaheng's phone rang.

Cheng Yi's loud voice could be vaguely heard by Chu Zhi, Lu Jiaheng frowned a little in disgust, put on a Bluetooth headset and listened, answering twice from time to time.

After the other party talked for a while, Lu Jiaheng said "ah", turned his head and looked at Chuzhi: "Some friends called."

"Then you go, it's fine, I can do it myself." Chu Zhi said quickly.

"I mean, do you want to come along?"

"Eh?"

Cheng Yi was still shouting something, but Lu Jiaheng ignored her and looked at her patiently: "Let's go together."

Chu Zhi blinked slowly: "Okay."

Lu Jiaheng turned around and held the steering wheel with one hand loosely: "Eat first, I'll take someone."

Not knowing what Cheng Yi said, Lu Jiaheng slowly raised the corner of his lips.

The red light came on, the car stopped in front of the sidewalk, he suddenly turned around, facing Chu Zhi, looking at her with dark eyes, leaning closer.

"Don't move," he said in a low voice, his arms stretched out closely, his fingertips reached through his hair to reach her ears, and his two hands reached her ears and covered her ears tightly.

Chuzhi's world was instantly quiet, and all the voices were separated by his hands.

Lu Jiaheng lowered his eyes and looked at a small black head in front of him, his sense of joy kept rising and rising.

He tilted his head and said lazily, "Who? Of course it's my wife."

The author has something to say:

Young Master: I want to raise my daughter-in-law, but I can't afford it without making money

Lu Jiaheng, you have the ability to let people hear you! You dare! Dare! ! !
