Although he was already mentally prepared, his expression changed suddenly when Teacher Xiaolu took out the thick envelope when he came to the mailbox. She just opened it a little and glanced at it, then closed it again immediately, and even gave a low voice in surprise.
Then she turned around and looked at Lu Xin warily and questioningly.
His voice was a little tight, and he lowered his voice and said, "You really didn't do anything bad?"
Lu Xin had no choice but to explain: "It's all legal income... and I've already paid taxes..."
"That's... too much!"
Teacher Xiaolu was holding the bag, and her voice was a little messy: "Actually... Actually, it's already very good here..."
"This group of... These little mythical beasts have enough to eat every day, and they wear warm clothes. Some kind people helped us find some school textbooks, and... And I've been running to the Executive Office, I hope to apply for a formal qualification, so that they can all get the identity, and they can enter the middle school in the future... Everything is going well, I really don't need so much money... "
Listening to Mr. Xiaolu's remarks, Lu Xin's mood also improved, especially when Mr. Xiaolu was nervous, he felt like he had won back for a while, so he explained with a smile: " It's always good to keep some more, buy them more meat to eat, it's cold in winter, and you have to think about adding clothes. In the future, we'll have to change to a bigger place, and also, your legs..."
He spoke slowly and looked at Teacher Xiaolu's legs.
She is actually a very tall girl, but unfortunately she has been sitting in a wheelchair.
At this time, small faces appeared on the side of the window, and they all stared at Lu Xin and Mr. Xiaolu, some were covering their mouths and laughing, some were whispering, and there was one skin, two They squeezed their hands together and gestured like a kiss.
Seeing these little guys, Lu Xin couldn't help blushing.
Teacher Xiaolu suddenly raised her head and glared at them.
"Wow", all the little faces disappeared, and honestly returned to the seat to copy.
Teacher Xiaolu was sitting in a wheelchair, still looking restless. She looked left and right, then like a thief, she quickly took out a roll of money from the paper bag, stuffed it under her clothes, and then put the bag Putting it into Lu Xin's hand, he said, "Don't leave it all here, give me too much, and my little cabinet can't hold it any more. Besides, what if you attract bad guys?"
"This… "
Lu Xin wanted to push it back, but after listening to her words, he had no choice but to hold the bag.
Teacher Xiaolu said seriously: "You keep it for yourself first, I will definitely find you when I need it!"
Lu Xin was silent for a while, then nodded lightly.
"And..."
Teacher Xiaolu looked at Lu Xin seriously and warned, "I don't know what exactly your job is, but if people give so much money, it must be very tiring or dangerous. At least you have to eat a little more every day, not every day All green vegetables and tofu…”
"I have it… "
Lu Xin took the money and said with a smile, "I eat chicken legs every day!"
"Those who can afford chicken drumsticks every day will not only eat drumsticks every day..."
Teacher Xiaolu ruthlessly exposed Lu Xin's lie, and then sighed softly.
Lu Xin didn't know how to answer this, so the two of them sat and stood by the window sill in front of the bare flower pond, a little silent.
Only the pale sunlight is coating the world with a dim light.
After a while, Lu Xin suddenly hesitated and said, "Sister Xiaolu, what happened back then..."
"what do you wish to ask?"
Teacher Xiaolu turned around and saw Lu Xin's confused and hesitant look.
She took a serious look at Lu Xin, then laughed, and said in a low tone, "Little Lu Xin, don't always think about the past, ask Jun how much you can worry about, some things, you Not remembering is also a blessing…”
"… "
Lu Xin was silent for a while and said, "Don't just memorize lines from old movies, okay? I've seen them at the time..."
"Bah, it's so boring!"
Teacher Xiaolu changed the subject and said, "Come over to eat dumplings in a few days? You can put eggs in it now!"
Lu Xin was also in a better mood, nodded and said, "Okay!"
…
…
"What happened in the Red Moon Orphanage back then?"
When he left Red Moon Elementary School, Lu Xin was still thinking about this question silently in his heart.
He still clearly remembered all the details of what happened in the orphanage, and also remembered an incident that happened after the accident at the Red Moon Orphanage, but the memories in the middle were always blurred. He always wanted to find out what happened that year. What is the matter, so she sometimes asks Zeng Xiaolu, but she refuses to tell herself, always diverting the question with lame jokes.
He even asked his family, but the family refused to say anything.
It's been a long time like this, and sometimes, he doesn't even want to think about it.
Many times, he just tried his best to help Mr. Xiaolu, because he felt that rebuilding the Red Moon Orphanage was a matter of two people.
I can't help here because I have my family to accompany me, so I can only make more money.
In the past, I always felt that this kind of life has been very depressing and has no end, but now, I finally see hope.
Is there anything better than being able to work and earn money on your own
Thinking of this, his mood gradually improved.
After a few stops, he got on the bus and tossed a coin.
When I was about to get home, I got off the bus one stop earlier and went to a vegetable market gathered in the streets.
Every night here, there will be many people who bring all kinds of vegetables and even game to sell. Many people from satellite cities will try their best to grow vegetables. Some of them have opened up vegetable gardens among the abandoned buildings. Filling up the soil on the roof, and even sneaking out of the city, outside the farm in Qinggang City, to open up wasteland by themselves, or to hunt some wild animals into the city to sell.
The Satellite City Administration Office generally turns a blind eye to this, and sometimes even protects it.
Lu Xin bought something at the vegetable market, carried a large bag and a small bag, and returned to the apartment building.
At this time, the night has completely fallen, the street lights are very long, and there will only be one after a long distance. The surrounding looks lonely and dark. When going upstairs, there is no movement or light in the corridor. This building is very old. In addition, the current No. 2 satellite city is still a situation of fewer people and more buildings, so no residents have moved in. There were a few before, and they all moved out slowly.
ranwen.la
The elevator was never repaired, so Lu Xin followed the stairs to the fourth floor.
Just after turning the corner, Lu Xin saw the warm lights in Room 401 and his father's scolding.
"Stinky girl, come back to me and see if I don't kill you alive!"
The father's face was ashen, his expression was furious, his expression was distorted, his eyes were blood red, and he stood at the door and cursed.
The younger sister was crawling on the ceiling of the corridor, arguing: "I don't, come out if you have the ability..."
"You come back and see if I don't chop you up..."
"Hehehehehe, come out and hit me if you have the ability..."
The father was furious: "roar..."
Not to be outdone, the younger sister said, "Hi..."
…
…
Lu Xin sighed, feeling the warm atmosphere of home, and walked over slowly.
