Back to the Years When My Father Was in School
Chapter 42:
During the winter vacation, Lu Yan's interest in studying was very high. She didn't go to relatives for New Year's greetings, and she didn't need the New Year's money, so she locked herself in the room to read and study.
Lu Zhen worked hard for almost half a semester, and his grades improved a lot, at least not at the bottom of his grade.
But everything has a rush, decay, and exhaustion. Slowly, someone started to be a little bit lazy. If there was no Lu Yan's supervision, maybe this guy would return to the salted fish life again.
That night, Lu Yan received a text message with no content, only a punctuation mark:.
She replied a text message: "Who are you?"
"it's me."
"Shen Kuo?"
"Um."
Lu Yan immediately became energetic, and sat up on the sofa, trying to call him back, but watched Lu Zhen, wearing headphones, humming a melody, twisting his 1.8-meter-eight man, from the handrail of the stairs. Slide down.
Lu Yan cut off the call decisively and changed it to a text message——
"You bought a mobile phone!"
"Well, I don't know how to use it yet."
Lu Yan saw that he could not use it anymore, and it took him five minutes to edit and send these words.
She smiled at the corner of her mouth and asked, "Is it to contact me to buy a mobile phone?"
"think too much."
She hummed softly and was editing the text message, and Shen Kuo added another: "It's for you to contact me."
Lu Yan looked at the message, rolled around on the sofa, buried her face in the pillow, and was excited for a while.
Lu Zhen took off the earphones, frowned and looked at her: "Nervous."
Lu Yan stretched out his legs and kicked him, Lu Zhen took a backhand to dodging, grabbing her feet with her backhand, and pulling her closer to herself: "Who are you texting?"
"No one!"
"Give me the phone."
"No!" Lu Yan kicked him away and rolled to the other end of the sofa: "This is my privacy, you can't invade my privacy!"
Lu Zhen didn't care about three or seventy-one. He pressed her on the sofa and reached out to **** her mobile phone: "I am your father. With me, you have no privacy."
"Ah, you are too domineering!"
Lu Yan struggled to get up. Lu Zhen grabbed her foot and dragged her back: "Are you having a short break with Ye Jiaqi? I knew it was him! The stinky boy...don't die!"
At this time, Lu Jian came out of the study: "What's the noise?"
As if seeing a savior, Lu Yan kicked her father away and ran behind her grandfather to seek asylum: "Lu and Lu Zhen are going to grab my phone and read my text messages! It's too much!"
Lu Zhen ran over and pointed to Lu Yan and said, "She...she fell in love early! I'll take care of her."
Of course, Lu Jian wanted to protect her little daughter, and immediately took off her slippers and pointed at him: "Just like this, you are still taking care of your sister. Take care of yourself!"
"I... she..."
Lu Zhen was too anxious to speak.
After all, the elder brother and the father are still different. As a brother, he can ignore his sister, but as a father, he doesn’t care about it.
Lu Zhen had an old father's sense of responsibility, and he absolutely couldn't let his daughter be deceived by a bad man at such a young age.
Lu Yan stuck her head out from behind her grandfather, and stuck her tongue out at Lu Zhen, making Lu Zhen flush with anger, but helpless.
"Don't you want to take a key university?" Lu Jianhu Lu Yan walked to the sofa in the living room and rushed to Lu Zhen, "Go back to your room and read a book."
Lu Zhen said angrily: "Then she doesn't care about her early love?"
"I don't have a puppy love, he's talking nonsense!"
Lu Jian is really a mad demon guardian girl, rushing to Lu Zhen: "If you can get your sister's score, I don't care if you fall in love early!"
Lu Zhen was finally discouraged, turned upstairs, and kept turning around to threaten Lu Yan with his eyes, indicating that the matter was endless.
After he returned to the room, Lu Jian turned around and said solemnly to Lu Yan: "Puppy love is not allowed."
"No no, no premature love!"
Lu Yan was afraid of her grandpa asking more questions, and hurriedly slid back to the room.
Lying on the soft big bed, holding the phone, a smile oozes from the corner of her mouth.
In the past, there were only two people in the house, she and dad. Although they always played cat-and-mouse scenes and had a lively life, they always...something was missing.
Lu Zhen is both a father and a mother, taking care of Lu Yan in every possible way, but... after all, there is still no family, no mother, and no grandparents.
Lu Yan made up her mind secretly, this time she must protect her family, especially...mother.
She will never let her mother have any more accidents.
Shen Kuo sat at the desk, under the warm yellow lamp, and the black-and-white screen of the phone showed a short message of "good night" sent by the girl.
He is more accustomed to writing more content in a text message, which will be more cost-effective.
"I still owe you a movie. When will I be free? Although your family has a movie theater, this time, I will buy tickets."
When Lu Yan received this long message, an unconscious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she rolled around on the bed excitedly.
He still remembered the slogan "Her family opened a movie theater".
She edited the short channel-
"See when you are free? I can do it. It's up to you."
After writing this message and preparing to send it, Lu Yan suddenly remembered the warning her grandma Meng Zhining had given her, saying that girls should never lose themselves in love.
She paused for a moment with her fingertips, and then replied, "Tomorrow night."
"Okay, rest early."
"You are not allowed to stay up late to read."
Everyone said that Shen Kuo had a smart brain and a high IQ, but only Lu Yan knew that Shen Kuo's ability to maintain such a score was absolutely inseparable from his diligence.
No one can easily achieve success, but he is desperate when others are working hard.
"Don't stay up late! Don't stay up late! Don't stay up late!"
Shen Kuo received three "Don't stay up late" short messages in succession, and the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed.
He closed the page obediently, got up and walked out of the room.
His father, Shen Jianxun, was not asleep yet, and was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
Zhao Benshan’s comedy sketches are being shown on TV.
Shen Jianxun likes to watch sketches. He always picks up the jokes in the sketches and mixes them into jokes to tell Shen Kuo, sometimes he has a sense of humor.
He likes to tease Shen Kuo, but Shen Kuo doesn't like to laugh.
In his growing years, his son, laughed and laughed... The burden of life made him silent and reticent, and his whole temperament was sinking.
Shen Kuo posted the homework paper with the mobile phone number on the wall of the landline, and said back, "Dad, I bought a mobile phone. You feel uncomfortable at home in the future, so you must call me in time."
"Hey, what are you wasting this money for, I have been doing this for a while...cough cough, I feel better, so don't worry." He said distressedly: "Is the phone expensive? Don't spend money for me in the future, look at you. This dress has been worn for several years, so I bought myself new clothes to wear during the New Year."
Shen Kuo explained: "It's not all because of Dad."
Shen Jianxun looked at him, under the light, his eyebrows were narrow, overflowing with gentle tenderness——
"I have a girlfriend."
Shen Jianxun was taken aback for a moment, and he actually laughed: "Okay, stinky boy."
Shen Kuo Zaohui has learned to behave like an adult when he was very young, so Shen Jianxun rarely sees such a gentle expression on his son's face.
"Is it the girl who came to the house that day?"
"Um."
"That girl looks very good." Shen Jianxun's adjectives are not many, very good has covered all his praise of Lu Yan: "It's just...looks that the little girl has a good family."
No matter how simple the dress is, the children of wealthy people can still be felt the calmness of their bodies.
Shen Jianxun walked to the cabinet, took out a few wrapped tickets from the inside and handed them to Shen Kuo: "Everything is uncertain in the future, you are still young, but when you are with a girl, you can't be too stingy."
Shen Kuo smiled: "Dad, I know, I also have money."
"Take it."
Shen Kuo knew that this was his father's heart, so he didn't just stop rejecting it. Anyway, his family was also in charge of his family, and it would be used to buy medicine for his father.
"Dad, it will be okay." He said confidently, "I will make everything okay."
You have to wait.
On the afternoon of the 20th of the year, Lu Yan was waiting at the entrance of the cinema in her new pink and white cotton jacket.
Twenty minutes before the agreed time, she was a late-stage cancer patient in her last life. Every time she went on a date with a girlfriend, being late became commonplace.
When the accident happened, she played back scenes from the past. The time she wasted, the friendship and kindness she consumed... all became her most unforgettable regrets.
If there is another chance, she will never waste her life in meaningless consumption.
She wants to be a better self, and only this kind of self is worthy of the efforts of her thousands of beloved family members, and is worthy of...that outstanding and hardworking teenager.
On the way, Shen Kuo kept lowering his head and texting her, and when he learned that she had arrived, he asked her to enter the cinema and wait. Don't be silly, stand outside and blow the cold wind.
The cold winter wind in Beicheng engulfed the bones, and it scraped on his body like a knife cutting meat. Shen Kuo raised his eyes and looked at the clouds. The black and heavy clouds came over from a distance, as if it was about to rain.
He was looking for a store selling umbrellas around, but then he received a call from Zhong Kai——
"Brother Shen, where are you now?"
"Outside, something?"
Zhong Kai was impatient, and even yelled on the phone: "That **** Tang Fengpei, he said he would rent firecrackers to our warehouse before, and now the goods have come in and piled up outside the warehouse, he said he would increase the price! Mom... really hit a ghost!"
Shen Kuo looked at the dark clouded sky and asked in a deep voice, "How much to add?"
"Fifty percent! He is simply grabbing!"
"If you add 50%, we won't make any money."
"No, I didn't agree. I'm keeping the goods outside the warehouse right now! Brother Shen, if you have nothing important, just come over. Tang Fengpei's old fox is going to eat me. Come and tell him. Say, maybe there will be a turnaround."
Shen Kuo frowned: "I...no time now."
Zhong Kai didn't believe his ears. For Shen Kuo, besides his father, making money is the most important thing.
"Shen Kuo, we have paid a lot of money for this batch of goods. It will rain soon. If the warehouse issues are not resolved, the money will be...failed."
Shen Kuo didn't know the importance of this batch of goods, but the appointment he was going to now...is equally important.
"I made an appointment with Lu Yan."
Zhong Kai knew in his heart and stopped insisting.
Shen Kuo never loses faith in others, this is his principle of living in the world. What's more, that person is still his beloved girl.
"All right, I'll bargain with that old fox again, you...don't think too much, date it, this is how you grow up, hey, it's the first time you date a girl."
Shen Kuo smiled lightly, hung up the phone, and quickened his pace.
Lu Yan stood at the entrance of the movie theater, and when she saw Shen Kuo approaching, she waved at him unceasingly.
Shen Kuo quickened his pace and walked over, took off the scarf from her neck, and put it around her slender white neck.
He lowered his eyes, his dark eyes were extremely gentle, and he wrapped the scarf around her neck twice, then tied a knot seriously and dropped it on his chest.
The texture of the scarf is soft, bringing his body temperature, warm.
Lu Yan looked down at the light gray scarf, smiled and asked him, "Give it to me."
"This is men's style. I borrowed you to wear it."
Lu Yan lied: "No matter, it's mine on my neck."
Shen Kuo patted the back of her head, and walked her into the movie theater with her: "I'll go buy tickets first."
"Okay."
Lu Yan looked at Shen Kuo's back and felt that his condition today seemed not quite right. Although his face was calm and unwavering, the sixth sense of girls was generally very accurate.
From time to time, he would unconsciously look at the sky outside the window, and then look down at his phone.
Zhong Kai has no news, so he probably doesn't want to disturb his appointment. Shen Kuo turned the phone on silent, and then waited for admission with her.
Lu Yan asked him tentatively, "Did something happen?"
"Um."
He didn't conceal: "The new batch of goods has some minor problems and can't be put into the warehouse. It doesn't matter, Zhong Kai can handle it."
Hope he can handle it.
The movie began to enter the scene, and Shen Kuo's hand fell on her shoulder, leading her into the theater.
Lu Yan suddenly said, "Shen Kuo, I remember, I still have something to do this afternoon. I made an appointment with Qi Yuhuan to go shopping."
Shen Kuo's hand fell on the top of her forehead and shook: "Stop talking nonsense."
"Really." Lu Yan looked at her watch and said eagerly: "It's over, Qi Yuhuan must be waiting for me at the door of Century Department Store."
"Lu Yan, today is our first date."
"Yes, the first date, not the last time, I don't want Qi Yuhuan to say that I value **** over friends."
While talking, the little girl had already grabbed his sleeves, pulled him out of the movie hall against the flow of people, and came to the side of the road. She couldn't help but stopped a taxi and stuffed Shen Kuo in.
"Sorry, girlfriends are more important, bye bye!"
Shen Kuo suddenly held her wrist, Lu Yan was a little guilty, and stepped back: "What are you doing."
Shen Kuo didn't answer, but looked at her deeply.
"I'm really going to be late, bye!"
Shen Kuo released her hand and said to the taxi driver, "Master, go to Warehouse No. 4."
Lu Yan closed the car door and waved at him.
The taxi drove out and disappeared at the end of the road. There was a gust of wind, and Lu Yan stood alone on the side of the road and sighed softly.
Meng Zhening's text message came in and asked Lu Yan: "Baby, has the date started?"
Lu Yan liked the things about Shen Kuo. She concealed everyone, but she did not conceal Meng Zhining.
Meng Zhining studied abroad in his early years. He was very open-minded and would not treat his children's love as a scourge like the current parents. Moreover, she is intellectual and mature, and can give Lu Yan a lot of advice.
She did not have a mother when she was growing up, and the appearance of Meng Zhining filled her desire for maternal love.
Although Meng Zhening is enlightened, she still can't rest assured after all. She knows that Lu Yan likes Shen Kuo, and sometimes likes a person, many things can't be controlled.
So I can't help but send text messages to ask her about the progress of the date.
Lu Yan squatted on the side of the road to edit the text messages, and briefly recounted what had just happened.
"Mom, I'm too sensible, you let me love myself more, but I can't seem to do it."
In the past, Lu Yan had always been a squeamish rich second-generation who was held in the palm of his hand by her father.
But now...she finds that the price of thinking about others is wronging herself, and she feels a little sad in her heart.
As Shen Kuo said, this is their first date. For this date, she was so excited last night that she didn't fall asleep, rehearsing today's scene in her mind.
Lu Yan rarely has negative emotions, because many people love her. She has been growing up in the sun and has plenty of nutrients. Because of this, she was afraid that she could not understand Shen Kuo's difficulties, and she was also afraid that she did not deserve his likes.
After a long time, Meng Zhining replied to her: "Baby, although mother warned you not to lose yourself in love, mother has never done it. The way of getting along with each other with reservations is smart, but not at all. Cool. If you like him, treat him from the bottom of your heart so that you won’t have any regrets even if you separate."
"The person who will never forget for the rest of his life must be the person who owes something in the relationship."
...
When Shen Kuo hurried back to Warehouse No. 4, Zhong Kai was arguing with the owner of the warehouse.
"It's been said before, now our goods have arrived, and the price will increase at this time. You are too dark!"
"Oh, prices have generally risen this year, and there is nothing we can do about it."
Shen Kuo knew that it was not the first time that the warehouse owner, Tang Fengpei, did this. The curve inside was very deep, and the price was raised when the goods arrived. If you disagree, you must agree.
Zhong Kai was also impatient, and he almost got into a fight with Tang Fengpei. Shen Kuo walked over and pulled him away, saying: "It's going to rain soon. The goods must be put into storage today."
Seeing Shen Kuo coming, Tang Fengpei smiled indifferently: "The price increase is not what we meant. Go and find out. The prices in the surrounding warehouses No. 3 and No. 5 have all risen, and you are still fireworks. The risk is better. Other goods are large, and my price increase is reasonable."
Zhong Kai cursed: "Why didn't you say that you want to increase the price? Now that our goods are here, you just said."
Tang Fengpei knew that they had no way to advance or retreat, and apart from accepting his conditions, they had no choice of a second way, so he was confident and said: "You love to let go, don't let go."
Shen Kuo looked back at the fireworks and firecrackers piled high in the yard, and said to Zhong Kai: "Go and find a car. Let's move things away."
"Move away, where do you move to?"
"My Home."
Zhong Kai was stunned, lowered his voice and said to Shen Kuo: "Your family? Is there any mistake? How can your family pile up so many things."
Shen Kuo glanced at Tang Fengpei lightly, and said, "Go find a car and move."
Zhong Kai hesitated for a moment, and finally took out his eldest brother and called his friends.
Seeing that Shen Kuo seemed determined to move away, Tang Fengpei felt a little flustered, and said, "Is there any mistake? These are all fireworks and firecrackers. How can I keep them at home? This is too dangerous."
Shen Kuo turned a deaf ear to what he said.
After Zhong Kai finished the call, he said to Shen Kuo: "The car will come soon."
At this moment, the sky was already floating in the sky. Tang Fengpei saw that Shen Kuo was determined to leave, and he was a little anxious. If their goods cannot enter his warehouse, it will not be easy to find another home at this time.
"Then everything, it's already raining. You can wait for the car, but you can't wait for these goods."
Shen Kuo said calmly: "I can't use it if it gets wet. I think it's unlucky, but Shen Kuo is the first one to do business, and I will never be threatened by anyone."
Tang Fengpei is an old fried dough stick who has been in business for many years. He has dealt with all kinds of guys. He originally looked at the young people of Shen Kuo and Zhong Kai. The courage to break the boat.
The rain was getting a little bigger, and Zhong Kai was a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help pulling Shen Kuo's sleeves.
These fireworks and firecrackers are not water-resistant.
Shen Kuo said: "All losses are counted on me."
Of course Tang Fengpei is more anxious than Zhong Kai. If these goods get wet, not only will he not receive a penny of the warehouse fee, but this matter will be spread. I am afraid that no one will rent his warehouse in the future.
"In this way, you first move the goods into the warehouse." Tang Fengpei said: "We can negotiate the price."
Shen Kuo refused him: "No need."
"Oh, you young people, you haven't suffered setbacks. It's really too impulsive." Tang Fengpei speeded up his words: "This way, it's the original price. How about the original price?"
Shen Kuo raised his dark eyes and looked at him, and said in a deep voice, "Twenty percent off and put in the warehouse."
"Hey, you guy, don't have to make an inch!"
Shen Kuo asked Zhong Kai: "When will the truck arrive?"
"Almost." Zhong Kai said: "It's nearby."
When Tang Fengpei saw the heavy rain falling steadily, he finally compromised.
"Fine, 20% off and put in the warehouse, move things in quickly..."
Zhong Kai hurriedly said: "Then say it! No more changes!"
"It doesn't change, hey, a few people come here to help move things in!" Tang Fengpei greeted a few workers to come over and help move things together.
The rain is getting worse and worse, the cargo above is almost damp, and only the cargo below can be rescued. Shen Kuo got the cart, and Zhong Kai loaded the goods into the cart, and trot into the warehouse.
The rain is pouring down.
"It's over, it's too late." Sitting on the ground with soaked body, Zhong Kai said embarrassedly: "It's all wet."
Shen Kuo didn't say a word, but was carrying the salvageable goods in a muffled voice.
He will not give up until the last moment.
Even the few workers around have already given up. There are too many things to carry, and now it’s raining heavily, and they don’t want to get wet and cold in this cold winter.
The rain fell down Shen Kuo's hair, his face tense, and he continued to carry the goods in his hand.
"Shen Kuo, forget the rest." Zhong Kai grabbed him and persuaded: "It's too cold."
"The following can still be used." Shen Kuo finished speaking, and rushed into the rain again.
Zhong Kai knew that Shen Kuo was stubborn and could only continue to carry the remaining goods with him.
At this moment, a white figure rushed over, took a entangled round firecracker in his hand, and protected it in his arms.
"How did you come."
The rain drenched the little girl's hair in an instant, and she almost couldn't open her eyes: "I'll give you an umbrella."
"Give me an umbrella and go quickly."
"Oh!"
Lu Yan ran into the warehouse holding the firecrackers. After putting them away, she turned back, picked up as many goods as possible, and ran towards the warehouse.
She worked very hard and didn't mind if her clothes got wet or stained with mud.
Shen Kuo couldn't stop her, it was useless to be anxious, so he could only give up, and moved the remaining goods into the warehouse in one go.
Zhong Kai and the remaining workers counted the remaining usable goods in the warehouse. Lu Yan squatted beside the goods and watched nervously as Zhong Kai counted——
"Can this be used?"
"what about this?"
"What about this one?"
Zhong Kai said: "It still works, but fortunately there is water-proof plastic outside."
The little girl breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Shen Kuo finally couldn't stand it anymore, he walked over with a calm face, and carried Lu Yan's collar, like a rabbit, to the corner of the shelter.
"Who asked you to come." His face was not so good, and he looked slightly angry.
The little girl said grievously: "I'm here to give you an umbrella."
Shen Kuo looked down at her. The little pink quilted jacket on her body was completely drenched and stained with a lot of mud. Her hair was wet on her face, her contour was smooth, her eyelids were stained with water, and she looked pitiful. The look is so beautiful.
The reproach stalked in his throat, and he couldn't speak anymore. He swept her into his arms, rubbing her back and arms with his hands to warm her up and keep warm.
The little girl leaned docilely in his arms and nuzzled his sweater obediently.
Shen Kuo turned aside, and murmured reproachfully: "Add chaos."
Lu Yan was still full of thoughts about the goods, and kept turning back to ask Zhong Kai: "How much can I use? How much is the loss?"
"Hey, they all have waterproof plastic. We are lucky and saved most of it."
"That's great."
Lu Yan sneezed, and Shen Kuo took her hand and walked out of the warehouse.
Just in time for Zhong Kai's friend to drive over, he couldn't help but push Lu Yan into the car.
"Where to go, Shen Kuo."
"Go to my house for a hot bath and change clothes."
Lu Yan said worriedly, "Ah, will it be too convenient?"
Shen Kuo said casually: "My dad is going to the hospital tonight and will not be back."
Lu Yan blinked, and suddenly a strange blush was hung on her cheeks.
Is the parent away? It seems... even more inconvenient.
