Lu Yong was withdrawn when he was young. When he was studying, he never took the initiative to play around wildly after school. He preferred to go home and play alone. He could sit there and spend half a day dismantling an abandoned refrigerator or TV. Curious about every part that makes it up.
Dad always spoiled him, let him play, never scolded him for ruining things, and next time he saw some new electrical appliances, he would buy them back and disassemble them for him to play with. Lu Yong thought it was much more interesting than other boys collecting game cards, playing basketball, and roller skating.
So he indulged in this aspect more and more. After he picked up more and more "babies" from the waste, he said he wanted a room to put things, and then he had the prototype of the studio.
He will not participate in games that he is not interested in in order to fit in with the group.
When I came back to my senses, I realized that I missed a good time to make friends and lacked the ability to make friends.
It was only after he met Shen Wenqiu that he met the hobbies of ordinary boys.
The reason Lu's father likes Shen Wenqiu is not only because Shen Wenqiu is a beautiful child, he is also polite, has good grades, and is a standard good friend, but also because he made friends for the first time in his life.
At that time, Lu Yong was full of his beloved young boy, and besides his ten-year-long hobby, he added "little baa" to his daily topic. Whenever Dad asked about the school, within three sentences, Lu Yong couldn't help but talk about Shen Wenqiu, chattering endlessly and full of interest.
Later, when Lu Yong recalled it together, he suddenly realized how flawed it was.
When the two of them didn't get along at the beginning, my father didn't have much doubts. After all, the third year of high school was too busy with studies and there was no time to play around.
But one time, his father came to deliver something to him. He was not in the classroom, and his father didn't know that they had broken up, so he called Shen Wenqiu out with ease.
When Lu Yong returned to the classroom, what he saw was this scene——
Shen Wenqiu was chatting with his father, as usual, obedient and warm, saying "uncle": "... Well, thank you uncle, I will work hard, just give me the things, and I will pass them on to Lu Yong. Yes, yes , thank you uncle."
It doesn't look like they've broken up at all.
Shen Wenqiu was smiling, and the lingering rhyme of this smiling face caught sight of Lu Yong, and he quickly cooled down.
Lu Yong didn't even dare to go forward, and silently avoided it. After a few minutes, seeing that his father had also left, he returned to the classroom. The things that Dad asked to help have been placed in his desk drawer, including a handmade nougat.
Lu Yong picked up the candy wrapped in beautiful candy paper, thinking, if his father was around, he would definitely tell him to give half of it to Shen Wenqiu. Because Shen Wenqiu went to their house many times, his father regarded Shen Wenqiu as his half son.
Then at the dinner table, my father asked abruptly: "I went to your school to look for you on Wednesday, and you obviously walked over, why did you run away when you saw Xiaobaa?"
Lu Yong: "..."
Both the father and son stopped their dishes, and the father took a long and calm glance at him, then sighed slowly, and patted his shoulder: "Dad knows."
Know? Know what
At first Lu Yong thought that he knew they were not friends anymore, but later he felt that something was wrong, or maybe he knew that he liked Shen Wenqiu and me.
Until so many years later, he didn't figure out what his father meant.
The day before yesterday, he asked his father for help because of Shen Wenqiu, and his father agreed without saying a word. Later, when he heard that he had found it, he came to ask him: "When did you get in touch again? Why didn't you tell me?"
Lu Yong talked about it and said, "I can't finish talking in one or two sentences. I will talk to Dad carefully in another day."
—— After visiting Shen Wenqiu, Lu Yong sent his father out of the ward.
The father and son stood at the door of the ward. Just as the door was closed, the father asked in a low voice, "What about now? Do you have time to talk to me about the cause and effect?"
Lu Yong was afraid of being heard, so he just walked a few steps away. He took his father to the end of the corridor and found a good place. When he stood here, he could see the door of Shen Wenqiu's ward when he looked up. Slowly talk about the reunion between him and Shen Wenqiu during these days.
Father Lu frowned when he heard the beginning, and he didn't let go when he heard the end. After a while, he said, "Little Baa, it's been hard these years...why didn't you come to us earlier? He was such a healthy boy before, Now he looks skinny and sick... Well, I've heard about his family's bankruptcy, but I didn't expect it to be this bad."
"Take good care of him, and help him if you can. He and his father are good people. They have helped us so much before. You can't be ungrateful."
After finishing speaking, Father Lu glanced at him meaningfully, patted him on the shoulder, and said speciously: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, he has not worked for a long time, and adjusting his life status is not like pressing a button to change modes, 'shua' If the ground is changed, that’s impossible. Just be patient and wait until you pull him up.”
Lu Yongcai wanted to nod his head, and Lu's father asked: "But he has been living in your place for a month? Doesn't your place only have one bed
Lu Yong's mind went blank, and he said, "We don't sleep on the same bed, he sleeps on the sofa."
Father Lu was stunned for a moment, then fell silent: "..."
Lu Yong's neck was red, and he fell silent: "..."
Lu Yong always felt that his father meant something, and then wondered if he had a guilty conscience, so he shouldn't just open his mouth and explain? Doesn't this become the standard three hundred taels of silver here
Father Lu raised his head first, and said abruptly: "You don't need the money to buy a new bed! Clean up the side sleeper, or let people sleep on the sofa all the time?"
Lu Yong pretended to be calm: "Well, I, I will buy it when I get back."
Having said that, Lu Yong was not in a hurry to take Shen Wenqiu back.
He simply absented himself from work for a few more days. Since he started his business, he has been very dedicated to his work, so it is not a problem for him to be a shopkeeper for a few days.
Now that they were all admitted to the hospital and checked for their physical problems, Lu Yong took Shen Wenqiu to the best local psychiatric hospital for treatment.
Shen Wenqiu refused to agree at first, saying: "I couldn't think about it before, but I'm fine now, I'm fine, I'll adjust it myself, why are you wasting that money?"
Lu Yong said: "It's not much money, you go and have a look."
"Are you saying I'm crazy?"
"I didn't mean that... But I think you need to see a professional doctor for your emotions."
"I'm fine, don't go, take me back to City H."
Lu Yong still drove the car to the entrance of the hospital. Shen Wenqiu sat on the passenger seat like a nail, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm just a little depressed. Anyone who owes so much money and dies will feel depressed. Bar?"
"Isn't this kind of thing usually said to be too hypocritical? ... Why bother to mobilize so many teachers?"
In fact, Shen Wenqiu has a vague understanding of his former classmates' attitudes, and it's not that he has never heard of it. Anyway, it is a negative case. He can't help but think about how others talk about him. It must be that he is weak and incompetent. Poor quality, if you suffer setbacks, you will be defeated...
Lu Yong coaxed him and said, "It's better to see a doctor first, I've got your number on the phone. You haven't been to see me and I've been thinking about it all the time."
Is he unconsciously causing trouble for Lu Yong again? Shen Wenqiu had no choice but to agree, but said: "If the doctor sends me to the hospital, I won't be able to stay."
The results of the inspection did not surprise them.
depression. major depressive disorder.
The doctor prescribed medicine and told me to take medicine on time, live a regular life, and try to avoid sources of stress.
Shen Wenqiu was very depressed. When taking the questionnaire test, he had tried his best to choose the optimistic side, but he still didn’t hide it. The doctor said with a smile: “Depression is a disease with a basis for success. It is not a weakness that can be easily overcome and concealed. The current scientific theory is that there is a lack of serotonin in the brain, so it makes you unhappy. Of course it is important for you to adjust yourself, but you have to take medicine.”
Shen Wenqiu didn't speak, his expression was not good, Lu Yong said: "Thank you doctor, I will tell him to take medicine well."
Another toss for a long time.
Lu Yong followed half a step behind him, carrying a plastic bag of medicine.
Even if he didn't say a word, even if he didn't look back, Shen Wenqiu could still know that there was Lu Yong supporting him behind him. Shen Wenqiu asked solemnly and self-blamingly: "I really don't want to be sick. I can still go to work at your place when I am sick." ?"
Lu Yong replied: "Do you want to go right away? Go if you want. If you don't want to go, just take medicine and rest at home. Let's take care of your mood and body first. Don't worry."
He even tried to make a joke: "Anyway, you owe so much money, it's almost a day or two away, what's the rush? Isn't it?"
After speaking, he immediately added rigorously: "I'm just joking."
Shen Wenqiu was really amused by him, he was always amused by Lu Yong's serious attempt to be humorous.
The hospital was on the hillside, and the road was very steep. They walked down the long steps, and the afterglow of the setting sun stretched their shadows long and long, leaning in front of them.
Shen Wenqiu thought, fortunately there was a sunset today, so Lu Yong would not notice him blushing.
Lu Yong was still calm and down-to-earth, and said to him: "I don't think this is hypocritical, sickness is sickness. If you are sick, you should treat the disease, not be accused and forced. If you want to pay back the money, you have to pay it back." Take care of your health first, right?"
"It's really not good, I can help you pay back... don't put too much pressure on you."
Shen Wenqiu gritted his teeth and said, "You are putting pressure on me by saying that, so stop talking."
Lu Yong hurriedly agreed: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything."
The two haven't chatted so happily for a long time, suddenly it's like returning to their school days, but it's different, how could Shen Wenqiu be so fierce when he was a child? Beat him at every turn.
But it's also good to hate him.
A little alive, not like before, lifeless. A few more words, he is rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so he is not afraid of being scolded.
Shen Wenqiu looked at his own shadow and said suddenly: "But I haven't worked for so many years, I don't know if I can do it."
Lu Yong felt the phone vibrate in his pocket, he took it out and saw that it was a text message from someone from the furniture city, saying that the bed he bought would be delivered to the door tomorrow.
so happy. Lu Yong thought.
Lu Yong silently put the phone back, and asked gently and peacefully: "Do you remember Town Y?"
Y-town? When this strange-sounding name appeared, Shen Wenqiu immediately retrieved his memories.
In the winter vacation of the freshman year of high school, he traveled there with Lu Yong, and experienced many unforgettable things there.
Shen Wenqiu replied: "I remember."
Lu Yong nodded and said, "I plan to build a new factory in town y. I think you are the person who understands me best. It would be best if you could help me."
