Chapter 241
"Director Lou." Lou Wanzhi's secretary came rushing in behind Lou Guoqing, and she didn't dare to stop Lou Guoqing. The secretary looked at the father and daughter, "Boss Lou..."
Lou Wanzhi said, "Go down."
The secretary went down.
Lou Guoqing sat on the sofa in the office.
Lou Wanzhi walked to the water dispenser and poured Lou Guoqing a glass of warm water. Lou Guoqing stared at her steps, and when she turned around, he looked away as if nothing had happened.
Lou Wanzhi was pounding in his heart, wondering if Lou Guoqing had picked up a handy thing and hit her on her body, but he didn't. Lou Guoqing took the water glass she handed over and said, "What's the matter with you? The small building is handed over to you, and you let her be bullied at home like this?"
Lou Wanzhi lowered her head and said, "I know I was wrong, and I'm already dealing with it."
Lou Guoqing let out an "oh" and said, "How did you deal with it?"
Lou Wanzhi reported to Lou Guoqing exactly what she had done in the past two days, and Lou Guoqing raised his eyes in dissatisfaction and said, "That's it?"
Lou Wanzhi: "No, Ning Chan's mother has some background, I don't want to influence her father's influence, and the Ning family still cooperates with us, if we recklessly break the contract, we will bear the cost of breaking the contract."
Lou Guoqing: "Can't the Ning family take the initiative to break the contract?"
Lou Wanzhi: "Dad, didn't you teach me how to be a businessman? Those who break their promises will be abandoned by others in the future."
Lou Guoqing took a sip of water, with a calm expression.
Lou Guoqing: "Your leg..."
Lou Wanzhi: "My mother..."
Lou Guoqing closed his mouth.
When Lou Wanzhi heard the two words that came out of his lips, he couldn't help laughing, and jumped up for him twice on the spot. Lou Guoqing really showed a very nervous expression, and scolded: "Nonsense! This is someone who can jump around like crazy!" Is it?"
Lou Wanzhi said with a smile, "My legs are already big, and I can run and jump now."
The old father showed his majesty: "Is this what you said it was all right? You are jumping around like this now, if your muscles and bones haven't grown well, you will be cracked once you jump." .”
Lou Wanzhi smiled even wider.
Lou Guoqing turned his head: "Your mother is at home, I didn't let her come with me, I promised her not to beat you."
"Ganqing was planning to fight?"
"..." Lou Guoqing didn't dare to hit him, he was scared last time, now seeing Lou Wanzhi is like looking at a fragile porcelain vase.
Lou Guoqing finished his glass of water, and finally brought up the main topic of his visit: "Is the story about Xiaolou and the girl surnamed Zhuang that was uploaded on the Internet true or false?"
Lou Wanzhi's heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, he knew.
Lou Guoqing said: "I'm thinking about it, Xiaolou doesn't look like someone who has the kind of brains to play with and support. It's almost the same if you replace the protagonist. You have a lot of troubles."
Lou Wanzhi: "..."
She was wronged, she just came out of the closet, how come her father's image has become a playful person, she is very affectionate and extremely attentive.
Lou Guoqing sighed inwardly, it would have been better if Lou Wanzhi had taken care of him, and it would be better than trying his best to be with Lou Anzhi.
Lou Guoqing asked: "What is the relationship between the two of them?"
Lou Wanzhi's mind is spinning fast, is it good or bad for Lou Ningzhi to come out now?Should she tell Lou Guoqing the whole thing, or hide half and tell half, or what?
Lou Wanzhi hesitated for a moment, and said, "This is Xiaolou's private matter, I don't know it very well."
Lou Guoqing: "You really don't know?"
His sharp eyes seemed to have seen through Lou Wanzhi's thoughts.
Lou Wanzhi said firmly, "I don't know."
Lou Guoqing: "Oh, where is the small building now?"
Lou Wanzhi said, "I'll call her and ask her."
Lou Ningzhi really listened to Lou Wanzhi's words and played games in Lou Anzhi's office. Lou Anzhi just got off work and took off his work clothes.
Lou Ningzhi glanced at the caller ID and said to Lou Anzhi, "Sister."
Lou Anzhi said, "Take it, what are you waiting for?"
Lou Ningzhi picked it up and said with a smile: "We are going home now, are you off work? I am with my second sister, if you are not off work, we will go shopping."
Under Lou Guoqing's watchful eyes, Lou Wanzhi said calmly, "Xiaolou, are you still playing at classmate x's house? You said you were going to spend the night at her house before. My parents read the news and knew that something happened here. It's something, I'm back now, do you want to consider going home tonight?"
Lou Wanzhi tried her best to convey all the key information. She had worked very hard, and she only hoped that Lou Ningzhi could understand.
Lou Guoqing raised his eyebrows, with his shrewdness, how could he fail to guess that Lou Wanzhi was tipping her third sister.
Lou Ningzhi blinked and said, "Sister, what are you talking about, are you out of your mind?"
Lou Wanzhi: "You're so smart—"
It's over, she really shouldn't have any hope for Lou Ningzhi's IQ.
Lou Anzhi asked, "What did she say?"
Lou Ningzhi repeated from her memory: "It said that I was playing at a classmate's house, and I wanted to spend the night at the classmate's house, or something, and then said that my parents came back, and asked me to go home tonight instead of staying overnight at the classmate's house."
Lou Anzhi's expression changed, he took her mobile phone and said to Lou Wanzhi, "Parents are back?"
Lou Wanzhi seemed to have found a savior, his despair turned into hope, and he said, "Yes."
Lou Anzhi: "Did they know about the news uploaded on the Internet?"
Lou Wanzhi: "What, did your classmate's parents ask you to have dinner? I guess you won't be able to come back tonight?"
Lou Anzhi: "This time I came back to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, did you get beaten again?"
Lou Wanzhi: "Little heartless, then you should go home after playing. If you don't come back today, you will come back tomorrow. Parents don't come back often, just to see you."
Lou Anzhi: "Okay, I understand."
Lou Wanzhi: "Go eat, eat more, I'll see how thin you are."
The two miraculously finished the conversation. Lou Wanzhi put down the phone, shook her head helplessly and smiled, "Xiaolou is still young and has a serious interest in playing. I told her that her parents are back, and she still wants to play games at her classmate's house."
Lou Guoqing pretended not to notice, stood up and said, "Is it time to get off work? Then let's go home first. Where is Yinhua? Do you want to work overtime today?"
"No, she's off work too."
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Lou Guoqing's face after asking, he hadn't gotten used to their new relationship yet.When he first returned to his hometown, he really had a big lump in his heart. Later, because of this incident, Lou's mother was depressed and fell ill in bed. In order to make her happy, Lou Guoqing tried his best to comfort her, saying beautiful words one after another. To put it bluntly, everything is my own daughter, and she has a good character. It is better to know the bottom line than to be afraid of encountering bad people in the future; what kind of fat and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, no one in our family is worthy of it, and it will be a waste for anyone. It's better to take care of each other; if other people's daughters are married, our family is at home, and we don't have to worry about how to go home during the holidays.
He also searched the Internet, and the technology is advanced. The big deal is to go abroad to surrogate a child, and the incense at home can also be kept. There are other technologies such as freezing eggs and combining eggs. Maybe they can give birth to a baby belonging to the two of them. There are concerns about genetic diseases, and there is no blood relationship in the first place.
If you talk too much, you will be brainwashed.After Lou's mother recovered, Lou Guoqing was almost moved by what he said, and the balance in his heart was always biased towards Lou Wanzhi.During the Chinese New Year, he was beaten hard, and he always felt guilty. As time passed, he was a little more open than Lou's mother.
After Lou Wanzhi answered, he also glanced at his father, only to see that Lou Guoqing just turned his head away, and didn't say anything else.
A subtle feeling rose in her heart, shouldn't it?
On the other side, Lou Anzhi took out the key from the bag, gave it to Lou Ningzhi, and said, "You go home alone, to your eldest sister's house, and I'll go back to our house."
Lou Ningzhi: "No, why?"
Lou Anzhi touched her forehead: "So stupid, so stupid, my parents are back, I must have seen the news on the Internet, you are about to come out of the closet, if you are still here, don't be stupid and follow home, you want to be beaten too Broken leg?"
Lou Ningzhi muttered, "Dad won't break my leg."
Lou Anzhi said forcefully: "I don't care if it will happen or not, you should avoid the limelight and wait for Lou Wanzhi and I to discuss a perfect solution."
When Lou Ning got into the car, he turned his head three times at a step, and Lou Anzhi looked at her behind her: "Hurry up, why are you dawdling, you will be arrested by Dad later."
Lou Ningzhi trotted into the car and drove away.
But what does she have for dinner?The three sisters agreed to have dinner together, but now she has to face Lou Wanzhi's big house of two to three hundred square meters alone, she is afraid.
It’s okay to buy such a big one, and you have to pretend to live alone.
Lou Anzhi also got into his own car and drove home.
Lou Guoqing and Lou Wanzhi arrived first, and Lou's mother was sitting in the living room. When she saw Lou Wanzhi, she just gave her a half-hearted look, and Lou Wanzhi called out, "Mom."
Mother Lou turned a deaf ear.
Lou Guoqing: "The child called you."
Lou's mother glanced at him, Lou Guoqing kept silent, and whispered to Lou Wanzhi: "Your mother has recently undergone menopause, please be more patient."
Lou Wanzhi: "!!!"
Is this still his grumpy dad?Why did it seem like a different person came back this time?
What she didn't know was that in a traditional family, sometimes the roles of parents would be ingeniously neutralized. Strict father and mother, strict mother and father are nothing more than the same. With the purpose of regulating the relationship between family members, Lou Guoqing unconsciously played a relatively benevolent role.
Lou Wanzhi sat on another sofa, "Mom, do you want some fruit? I'll get it for you."
Lou's mother stared at the TV intently.
Lou Wanzhi: "Mom, I brought some coffee beans back from Honduras last time. Don't you like it? Shall I brew some for you?"
Lou's mother tilted her head and asked, "Lao Lou, which episode did you watch on the TV last time? I've been watching it for a long time, so it feels familiar."
Lou Wanzhi: "Nowadays, TVs are flooded with water, so it doesn't matter if you skip and watch a few episodes."
Lou Guoqing: "It seems to be 32."
Lou's mother: "Come and tune it for me."
Lou Wanzhi: "I'll come, Mom."
Instead of handing the remote control to Lou Wanzhi who was within reach, Lou's mother stood up, walked around in a circle, and handed it to Lou Guoqing.
Lou Wanzhi: "Mom, I'll go upstairs."
After that, she held on to the railing, hoisted her "injured" leg, and jumped upstairs with only her other good leg. There was a lot of noise.
Lou's mother's calm expression finally cracked, and she winked wildly at Lou Guoqing. Lou Guoqing slipped into the kitchen, and Lou's mother yelled: "Lou Jinhua, stop!"
The corner of Lou Wanzhi's mouth twitched into a triumphant smile.
Lou's mother: "Sit back!"
Lou Wanzhi walked back slowly, this time without hanging his legs, but walked back normally.
Lou's mother: "You, what happened to your leg?" Didn't you leave the hospital a few months ago?I heard from people in the company that I was fine at work, no different from normal people.The doctor also asked about it, and he recovered very well.
Lou Wanzhi lied a little and said, "It's nothing wrong, it's just that it's not easy to go upstairs, you can usually walk."
Lou's mother: "Then you still go upstairs, why can't you talk? What do you eat with a long mouth?"
Lou Wanzhi smiled, looked at her with bright eyes, and said, "Mom."
No other words are needed, no words are needed, everything is in a tender call full of attachment.
Mother's heart was so soft down.
They are all debts owed in the previous life.
Mother Lou sighed inwardly, and opened her arms towards her.
Lou Wan stepped forward, squatted at her feet, and hugged her waist.
Lou's mother stroked her long hair quietly, and occasionally pinched the back of her neck hard, causing her pain.Lou's mother felt the hot and humid liquid around her waist through the thin fabric, and she patted her back gently, just like a child.
When Lou Anzhi came back, he saw a family of three sitting on the sofa, talking and laughing, the scene seemed familiar yet unfamiliar.Familiar because it was a scene she was used to in the past 29 years, strange because she thought she would never see it again in this life.
When Lou Guoqing heard the door knock, he turned his head and said, "I'm back, I'm waiting for you."
"Dad, Mom." Lou Anzhi was a little at a loss, and sat on another empty sofa.
Lou Guoqing stood up and said, "I'm going to cook, let's take a look at the refrigerator, your mother bought a bunch of vegetables, what do you two want to eat?"
Lou Anzhi pointed at himself, then at Lou Wanzhi, and said in shock, "The two of us?"
Lou Guoqing: "Then why not? Xiaolou isn't here, so you two are the only ones left."
The two little ones each took their favorite food from the refrigerator, carried vegetables and Lou Guoqing into the kitchen, Lou Anzhi and Lou Wanzhi walked behind, and whispered: "Dad didn't call us two in to silence him, did he?" ?”
Lou Wanzhi couldn't laugh or cry: "I'll tell you later."
Lou Guoqing pretended that he didn't hear the two of them whispering.
Putting down the dishes, the two of them wanted to stay here to fight, but Lou Guoqing refused, but stopped them before they went out, and said in a cautious and begging tone: "Can you be careful when you are outside? "
"Outside?"
Lou Guoqing: "Just in front of your mother, don't be too intimate. She hasn't been in good health since the last time. I'm worried that she'll have another problem." He showed a man's greatest sincerity and concession , It looked a little pitiful, "You have your love, and I also have mine. I hope you will be considerate and considerate of me, and you can restrain your involuntary feelings, is that okay?"
Lou Wanzhi pulled Lou Anzhi and bowed to Lou Guoqing: "We will."
Even if he doesn't say it, they will.
Lou Guoqing: "Thank you."
Lou Anzhi glanced at Lou Wanzhi with reddish eyes, and Lou Wanzhi took her out.The two returned to the living room, standing next to Lou's mother, each holding her hand.
Lou's mother held the backs of their hands and patted them. Both shoulders sank at the same time, and two heavy heads leaned up. Lou's mother closed her eyes, tears oozing from the corners of her eyes.
"It's time to eat!" Lou Guoqing shouted angrily as he opened the kitchen door.
"coming."
The two daughters jumped up from the sofa and rushed to serve the dishes. Lou Guoqing said to them from behind: "Slow down...the soup is hot, use a rag to put it on...there is still one in the pot, I will It's not full yet, don't grab it, don't grab it..."
"Still grabbing it?" Lou Guoqing held on to the last dish, "Can you save one for me, I'm your father!"
Lou Anzhi pointed out the window: "Dad, look at Xiaolou!"
Small building?Lou Guoqing looked back in the direction she pointed, and Lou Wanzhi secretly took away the vegetables under his hands.
Lou Guoqing held up a spatula: "You guys!"
"Eat, eat, eat."
"Drink the soup first." Lou Anzhi poured four bowls of soup out of the soup bowl, gave them to Lou Guoqing, Lou Mama, and Lou Wanzhi respectively, and kept the last bowl for himself.Lou Wanzhi sat down and stood up again, saying, "I'm going to get some wine."
It's such a beautiful day, you can't justify it without a little wine.
Since Lou's mother retreated behind the scenes on Lou's National Day, she didn't have to go out to socialize, so she stopped drinking: "I drink juice."
Lou Wanzhi refused: "Red wine is beautiful and nourishing, I think you don't look very good today, you must have not had a good rest, drink some red wine to sleep at night, and you will definitely look rosy when you wake up tomorrow."
Lou's mother: "I..."
She still refused, and Lao Lou Guoqing appeared again: "I haven't been home for so long, let's have some wine to celebrate."
Lou's mother: "...well, just drink a little."
Lou Wanzhi poured it for her.
Lou's mother: "Enough is enough, enough, hey, so much more."
Lou Guoqing said cheerfully, "Give me a drink if you can't finish it."
Lou's mother glared at him and said, "You can!"
Lou Guoqing lowered his head and touched his nose.
Lou Wanzhi toasted: "I hope our family will be harmonious and beautiful from now on, and everything will be successful."
The four clinked glasses and took a sip each.
Lou Anzhi stood up, looked at the parents, her heart was full of whirling, her throat stopped before she opened her mouth, without saying a word, she silently raised her glass, raised her head and drank it down in one gulp.
She drank too fast and choked on her eyes, as if someone had sprayed her with pepper water, tears came out along with her.
Lou Anzhi wiped away his tears and broke down in tears: "Thank you, and I'm sorry."
During the Chinese New Year, everything was shouldered by Lou Wanzhi. Lou's parents and Lou's mother never said a word to her. Lou Guoqing still felt sorry for her. It was she who kept resenting each other. The phone is not answered.
They raised her, and they really didn't feel sorry for her at all. This sentence of sorry was not only for her and Lou Wanzhi, but also for herself.
"It's all a family, so I'm sorry if I have anything to say." Lou's mother lowered her head and picked up a chopstick dish for her with wet eyes, "Let's eat, you work so hard, you seem to have lost weight again."
Lou Anzhi choked up and defended, "I've gained weight recently." Lou Wanzhi fed her like a pig every day.
Lou's mother: "Anyway, I look thin, don't you know that in the eyes of mothers, children are always thin? Unless you are fat enough to be like your father, then you are fat."
Lou Guoqing yelled at the injustice: "What's the matter with me? Didn't you raise me when I gained weight?"
Lou's mother: "It was you who cooked every day, so you have the nerve to say that I put on weight?"
Lou Guoqing: "We both eat the same food every day!"
Lou's mother: "That's right, so why are you fat and I'm not fat? Isn't it because you eat too much?"
Lou Guoqing: "That's because you don't get fat, is it my fault?"
Lou Anzhi burst into laughter.
Lou Wanzhi: "Okay, okay, stop bickering, the food will be cold."
The two stopped talking and started eating quietly.
After the meal, Lou Guoqing took care of cleaning the tables and chopsticks and cleaning the kitchen. He drove away anyone who wanted to help, and the two sisters of the Lou family had to watch TV with Lou's mother in the living room.
Lou's mother suddenly asked: "How many episodes did your dad say just now?" The TV was turned off once before, and the play record could not be found.
"32." Lou Wanzhi said.
"Oh oh oh," Lou's mother used the remote control to select the number of episodes, and said with a casual smile, "When people are old, their memory is not very good. I can't even remember such trivial things."
Hearing this, Lou Wanzhi's heart felt sour again.
Lou's mother tuned to episode 32. Lou Wanzhi took the remote control and fast-forwarded to the place she saw before, and then looked down.
After cleaning up the kitchen, Lou Guoqing came out and sat on the sofa to watch. After watching one episode, the clock on the wall just passed nine o'clock, and Lou's mother yawned. She used to watch episodes after ten o'clock.
Lou Guoqing immediately asked softly, "Sleepy?"
"kind of."
"Then shall we go back to take a shower and sleep?"
"it is good."
Lou Guoqing got up and helped Lou's mother go back, then turned to signal the people left behind to turn off the TV: "Go to bed early, too."
"Good night, Mom and Dad."
"Good night."
The door of the parents' room was gently closed and locked.Lou Wanzhi lay on the back of the sofa in a daze for a long time, while Lou Anzhi was beside her, following her in a trance.Its voice was played on the TV, but no one paid attention to it.
"Lou Wanzhi."
"Ok?"
Lou Anzhi raised his head, exhaled heavily, and said, "Do you feel that your parents are getting older? I just saw white hair on my mother's head. She never had white hair before."
Lou Wanzhi raised his hand and pressed his eyes.
