The fuck is selling the house
This thought flashed through his mind, and Lu Chen's first reaction was that Lu Yao was asking for money again.
He installed the keys, entered the door and changed his shoes, and after the intermediaries who took pictures had left, he looked up at Zhuo Lin, and asked coldly, "Is he not finished?"
Zhuo Lin was taken aback, "What did you say?"
Lu Chen sneered, "How much more this time?"
He walked towards the living room, exuding a bored and cold breath all over his body.
Only then did Zhuo Lin realize that she was misunderstood by him.
In the early years, the family situation was actually good. Lu Jianmin had a salary, and she made a lot of money selling clothes in the commercial street. But since the eldest son got married and bought a house in Beijing, the family's life has gone from bad to worse.
Now, her husband is gone, and she is nearly 60. Due to the impact of e-commerce, the clothing retail industry is not as easy to do as before, and the family still has hundreds of thousands of foreign debts that have not been repaid. She couldn't sleep all day and all night, and when she opened the account book today, she was shocked to find that over the past few years, more than half of the family's income has been paid to the eldest brother.
Buying a car for more than 100,000 yuan, buying a house for nearly a million yuan, giving the wife a bride price of 100,000 yuan, plus decoration, travel, confinement, etc. A bunch of other things, he alone has dragged down the life of this big family.
Lu Jianmin went to the hospital after feeling unwell for a long time, and was diagnosed with terminal cancer; she went to the vegetable market and began to shop around, thinking of saving a few dollars; Lu Chen, because serving Lu Jianmin in the hospital delayed his training and retired from the school team, the university After graduating to now, she finally got a girlfriend, and even let the girl's mother slap her face in front of so many people...
As a mother, she felt worried when she thought about it.
Withdrawing her thoughts, Zhuo Lin sighed, and said, "It's not for raising money for your brother. Mom is thinking that you are working in city A. It's not a problem to always rent a house outside. Let's sell this house at home Yes, I can get almost one million. I owe more than 100,000 foreign debts to others, and I will pay them back. The rest will be given to you, not to mention the full amount. It is still no problem to pay the down payment to buy a three-bedroom house and add decorations in City A. Yes. You are too old, if you want to get married in a few years, you can't have nothing. "
"..."
Lu Chen was silent for several seconds, and asked her, "Where do you live after the house is sold?"
Zhuo Lin sighed, "I can handle anything by myself. Anyway, your brother can't count on you. If you feel sorry for your mother, leave me a vacant room at home. You can stay if you don't want to. I'll rent a house outside."
Lu Chen was laughed at by the angry words, "I don't want people poking my spine yet."
"Then it's settled."
Zhuo Lin said, "Anyway, I've already asked the agent to list the house. Although our house is not new, the overall conditions are still very good. I also asked, like you can directly settle in city A to buy a house after graduating from a bachelor's degree. Go back and transfer your account first."
After speaking, she walked to the kitchen.
The burden of life in the past few years has been heavy. She is not yet sixty, and her hair is already half white. It is loosely tied up and drooping behind her head, and her back looks listless.
Lu Chen followed to the kitchen, stood beside her and said, "Go and rest, I'll do it."
After Lu Jianmin's death, he occasionally cooks, and the food he cooks is not good, but it is edible.
Zhuo Lin also let him go.
Half an hour later, the two sat down in the restaurant.
While eating, Zhuo Lin looked up at his face, and suddenly asked: "That girl, should she be discharged from the hospital?"
"Um."
Lu Chen responded.
"It'll be fine once you get out of the hospital."
Zhuo Lin sighed, "Don't blame other mothers for beating you, no mother can calm down when encountering such a thing. Not to mention a divorced woman like her, she must regard her daughter as her heart."
"… divorce?"
Lu Chen froze for a moment.
"you do not know?"
Zhuo Lin stared at him unexpectedly, "You live with the girl? Didn't you hear her mention? I also found out about it inadvertently in the hospital. But even if the parents divorce, it's not something we can do under this condition." I climbed up. It’s good for you to separate like this, we will work hard, and in two years we can find a girl who is down-to-earth, and we can live well.”
Lu Chen lowered his head to pick up the rice, without saying a word.
Zhuo Lin hesitated for a moment, "Don't tell me you haven't given up yet?"
"knew."
Responding indiscriminately, Lu Chen took the empty bowl and went to the kitchen.
The mobile phone in his trouser pocket "buzzed" and there was an earthquake.
He took it out and saw that it was Li Shiyu who sent a voice request.
After clicking on the connection, he chatted with him casually. Lu Chen walked out of the kitchen and said to Zhuo Lin, "Mom, I'm going out for a while."
…
It was a rare meeting, and the two made an appointment at the billiard hall.
Lu Chen had been in this billiard hall for many years, and when he appeared, he was recognized by a few regular customers, who dragged him to ask for a two-set bet.
Li Shiyu arrived later than him. When he saw someone, a man was scanning his WeChat to transfer money, and said, "I'm not going to play anymore? Come a few more games, brother is not short of money."
Lu Chen glanced at Li Shiyu from the corner of his eye and smiled, "My friend is here."
"Fine."
The man's face was rather regretful.
Li Shiyu approached and teased, "You can do it, you've made money in such a short time."
"Just play around."
Lu Chen asked him, "How are you doing recently?"
"What else can I do? Read a book and vomit."
Like him, Li Shiyu was a sports student, but his grades in cultural subjects in the first year of the college entrance examination were too low, so he had to repeat it for another year.
I just graduated from a sports school this year, and was ordered by my parents to take the public exam. I failed the exam for the first time, and now I am still devoting myself to reviewing, preparing to fight again in the spring.
The two played a few rounds of billiards, went downstairs to eat barbecue together on the street, and drank two cans of beer. Li Shiyu urged Lu Chen, "I said Brother Shen, if you pass the exam with me, as long as your physical fitness Xiang passed it with his eyes closed, it’s still early, buy a book to study for a while, and then apply for an online class, next year we brothers will take the exam together, isn’t that beautiful.”
"Can you compare with someone who graduated from a police academy?"
Li Shiyu laughed, "Then there will be fewer places. Wouldn't it still be the same to climb from the bottom after being admitted? Otherwise, you say that our major is, what can we do if we don't go professional? At most, we can be a coach in the gym, or go to the gym?" Being a physical education teacher in school is not as good as being a police officer in the long run."
As Lu pondered, the phone on the table vibrated.
He picked it up and saw that it was Ruan Yue who sent a WeChat message: [What are you doing tomorrow?]
[Go home. There is no arrangement at the moment.]
Li Shiyu smiled and asked him, "Who is it?"
Because he was one level lower than Lu Chen, he had been preparing for the exam for nearly a year, so he didn't know about Lu Chen and Ruan Yue being together.
Lu Chen didn't say much, he just said: [A friend.]
After changing the subject, he asked him again: "How much did you fail in the test last year?"
"Passed the written test, and the card interview."
Li Shiyu sighed, "It's the first time, I was too nervous. When it was my turn, I forgot everything and didn't say a few words."
[My mother and I said that we would go to the bookstore to buy books tomorrow, and she agreed, so she probably wouldn't go with me. Can you come out with me?]
Ruan Yue asked again in WeChat.
[Can.]
Lu Chen simply replied two words.
Whether it's Zhao Bingzhi or Zhuo Lin, he understands what he said. But if Ruan Yue speaks, as long as he uses this tone, it is almost impossible for him not to be led away by her.
After dinner with Li Shiyu, we chatted for a while, and when the two separated, Li Shiyu also asked him what his plans were for tomorrow, and Lu Chen said that he might go to the bookstore to buy some books with his friends.
Li Shiyu was a thief, so he guessed it was a girl, and immediately said that he would go to the bookstore to buy some more books.
Unable to refuse him to go with him, Lu Chen sent a WeChat message to Ruan Yue.
It surprised him.
Ruan Yue didn't object, and said, "Li Shiyu, I haven't seen him for a long time."
Ten o'clock the next morning.
Lu Chen and Li Shiyu took the subway to the agreed meeting place.
On the first day of October, the weather in city A was still scorching hot. The two of them were wearing short T trousers. After standing on the side of the road for a while, they felt dry. Li Shiyu looked at the time with his mobile phone and asked, "Brother Shen, how old is your friend?" Ah, come to the bookstore on a date?"
Lu Chen glanced at him, "She is taking the postgraduate entrance examination."
While talking, a taxi stopped on the side of the road.
Ruan Yue was still the same as yesterday, wearing a baseball cap. After getting out of the car, she saw two people, walked over quickly, and said with a smile, "The road is too congested, I'm sorry."
"Ruan... Ruan Yue?"
Li Shiyu stared at her face for a long while, then laughed incredulously, and drew one hand between the two of them, then slapped Lu Chen on the arm, "Damn, what's going on?"
His shocked appearance made Ruan Yue laugh, put one arm around Lu Chen's arm, raised her head and asked him, "Didn't you tell him that you want to see me?"
Before Lu Chen could answer, Li Shiyu gave another "reply", accusing Lu Chen with envy and jealousy, "Brother Shen, you are going too far!"
Lu Chen smiled, "I invite you to dinner at noon."
"That's about the same."
Li Shiyu muttered, leaned up to Ruan Yue and asked, "What's the matter with you, big beauty, you were taken down by my brother Shen so easily? I haven't seen you for a few years, and I don't dare to recognize you now. Just now At first glance, I thought my eyes were dazzled."
Ruan Yue asked him, "Didn't you talk about a girlfriend?"
"No ah."
Li Shiyu was pitiful, "Being forced by my parents to take the public examination, don't mention how miserable it is, how can I have the time and energy to talk about a girlfriend."
After finishing speaking, he asked her again, "Brother Shen said you took the postgraduate entrance examination?"
Ruan Yue said "hmm", "My mother thinks that my undergraduate school is not very competitive, and she has been asking me to take the postgraduate entrance examination. I didn't really want to take the exam, but something happened recently, and I can't continue to work for the time being, so I wanted to come here to buy books. Prepare for a test."
"Very good very good."
Li Shiyu nodded again and again, glanced at her holding Lu Chen's hand, and felt infinite emotion in his heart. While she was not paying attention, he raised his hand and gave Lu Chen a thumbs up.
The three entered the bookstore together.
Li Shiyu didn't want to follow the dog food, so he went to read a book by himself.
Lu Chen stayed with Ruan Yue all the time.
She was taking the Chinese language and literature exam, and wrote down the bibliography of the professional direction of S University in the memo on her mobile phone, and used the computer in the bookstore to search for it one by one. There are a few books that are too low in stock and are still in the classical literature collection area. Ruan Yue is not tall enough, so she looked up for a long time, her eyes hurt, but she couldn't find them.
Lu Chen has better eyesight than her, and has an advantage in height. When he saw it, he took out the book, handed it to her and asked, "Is it this one?"
"right."
Ruan Yue breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at him again, feeling an inexplicable itch in her heart, and there was no one around, so she simply grabbed his clothes with one hand, stood on tiptoe, and pecked at the corner of his lips.
The soft touch made Lu Chen's eyes darken a little.
After kissing, Ruan Yue somehow looked at him and blushed for no reason.
When her shoulders were embraced by the boy's hand, she hesitated for a moment, then raised her face, stood on tiptoe, closed her eyes and kissed him.
"Shen—"
When Li Shiyu came over, he was so stimulated by the scene in front of him that he lost his voice.
The two people who were embracing each other immediately separated, Lu Chen still held Ruan Yue's shoulder with one hand, his heartstrings were shaken by the kiss just now.
It took a long time to calm down. He saw Li Shiyu hiding away, and he didn't have the heart to think about his stimulated mood. He looked down at Ruan Yue, and his slender fingers were pinching the soft spot on the back of her neck. Rou, asked in a low voice, "Why are you so obedient?"
Even when they were together at the beginning, Ruan Yue had never heard his tone so gentle.
Her heart was sore and soft, she hesitated, "I think you want to kiss me."
