Chapter 69 The feeling of home
"What's the matter, Xiaoyu?" Lu Zhenzhong asked with a smile.

I remember that Xiaoyu's trouble was that her mother refused to give her money, so she couldn't buy headgear so that she could maintain a unified image with her sisters.Although the debt is helping my father to see a doctor, it is more than enough to meet the little girl's small money.Lu Zhenzhong was ready for the little girl to ask for money.

What Xiaoyu wants to talk about has nothing to do with asking for pocket money.

Knowing Xiaoyu's eloquence and eloquence like today, Lu Zhenzhong was very surprised.

Xiaoyu said that his hemiplegic grandfather's condition worsened, and he developed polychondrosis again, and suddenly he could not speak.Without language communication, there will be a lot of trouble.

Grandpa pointed to an unknown place, and said um, ah, ah, I don’t know if he wants water or something to eat, what he wants people to do or not to do, he keeps probing back and forth in the middle, wasting a lot of time and accumulating a lot of resentment .

Once, my mother (Lu Mei) served my grandfather mung bean and rice porridge, and my grandfather raised his movable arm and knocked over the bowl.The porridge flowed to my mother and the ground; the porridge bowl was broken on the ground.Mom tried not to have an attack, covered her mouth and ran into the bedroom crying.

Xiaoyu chased after her and saw her mother biting the quilt and crying, so she tried her best to avoid crying.

Mom used to love to laugh, but since grandpa couldn't speak, she couldn't laugh at all.In the past, when my mother went to my grandmother's house, she would talk about her lazy bed, brother Daewoo secretly playing games, grandma saving food and money, and grandpa losing his temper.

When grandpa really loses his temper, my mother doesn't say anything, but becomes depressed, and her spirit gradually becomes trance.Xiaoyu felt that she had to do something.

She had the courage to find her grandpa, hoping that grandpa would treat her mother better.But grandpa threw a water glass at her directly.The water glass fell halfway to the ground.Fortunately, it is a plastic cup.

She begged grandma to persuade grandpa, but grandma just cried, or didn't speak, saying that even grandpa felt bitter.She has been looking forward to her grandparents coming back from Shanghai, hoping that her grandparents can save her mother.

After her grandparents came back from Shanghai, Xiaoyu took the opportunity to tell her grandparents about her mother's current situation.She thinks simply, she thinks that she is a child, she is soft-spoken, as long as an adult is willing to intercede for mother in front of grandpa, grandpa will not make things difficult for mother again.

What Xiaoyu didn't expect was that the grandfather listened halfway and couldn't take it any longer, so he lay down on the bed with a cough.That night, I didn't even want to get up for dinner.After hearing this, grandma, just like grandma, just wiped her tears and refused to make any promises.

The more frustrated Xiaoyu became, the more courageous she became, and she secretly made up her mind to make persistent efforts.So there was this phone call.

After listening to Xiaoyu's narration, Lu Zhenzhong had mixed feelings in his heart.Knowing that my sister's life is difficult, I didn't expect it to be so difficult.Lu Zhenzhong quickly promised Xiaoyu on the phone that he would go home on the weekend and intercede in front of Xiaoyu's grandfather on behalf of Xiaoyu's mother.

After the call ended, Lu Zhenzhong's mood was not as calm as before.

The burden of life should be borne by husband and wife together, but the burden of life is mostly on the shoulders of my sister.But I can't blame my brother-in-law.In order to earn more money, the brother-in-law left his hometown and was alone, living a life of separation from husband and wife at a young age.

In the past, when money was still abundant, he never supported his sister financially because he lacked a detailed understanding of her sister's life.When Lu Zhenzhong was in the worst financial situation, he came up with the idea of ​​giving money to his sister instead.

Lu Zhenzhong originally wanted to call his father and ask if he had returned the money he put under the mattress to his sister, but then he thought that he would go home in two days, so it would be better to talk about it when he got home.

After work on Friday, Lu Zhenzhong took the subway back to Yilin.

He bought two cartons of milk and two cartons of beef at the train station, each for his parents and sister's in-laws.

That night, Lu Zhenzhong took the gift he had prepared for his sister's in-laws and wanted to "visit" his sister's in-laws.When Xiaoyu heard that her uncle was coming to her house, she yelled directly at Lu Zhenzhong on the phone, "Uncle is the best uncle in the world".

Father Lu obviously didn't want Lu Zhenzhong to go into troubled waters, but unfortunately he couldn't find any reason to refute, so he put himself on the air bed again.Mother Lu hesitated a little, but finally, she took off the apron around her waist and decided to go with Lu Zhenzhong.

Lu Mei opened the door and saw her natal family, her nose soured and her vision blurred.Tears welled up in her eyes as the light shone.

No matter how dull she was, everyone present would understand that it was Lu Mei's mother's family who came to support her.

Lu Mei quickly wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, and explained in a low voice embarrassingly: "Grandpa is not bad, it's just hemiplegia and cerebral infarction..." Lu Mei couldn't continue.

Mother Lu touched Lu Mei's hand, and sighed, "You have suffered." Mother Lu had a lot to say, and what she wanted to say the most was that she was too cowardly as a mother before, which made her daughter follow the habit of swallowing her anger.

Lu Mei wanted to say something, but Xiaoyu hugged her from behind.

Xiaoyu made a fuss and dragged her mother to prevent her from going to her grandparents' room with her grandmother and uncle.Daewoo has a tacit understanding, and he also pesters his mother to talk about it.

Only grandma and uncle entered the room of grandparents.Xiaoyu's imagined tit-for-tat confrontation with Maimang didn't happen, and there was no accusation in the grandparents' room.

When Lu Zhenzhong and the others returned home and Lu Mei went out to see them off, Da Yu said to his younger sister Xiao Yu with a proud face, "Don't you understand? This is called hiding needles in the cotton."

"What do you mean?"

"Mom will still live in this house in the future, right? The whole family bows their heads and doesn't look up. No one looks good when they tear their faces. As long as grandma and uncle come, even if they don't say anything, they have already expressed their opinions. Grandpa will restrain himself as appropriate. You Just wait and see."

In the future, as Da Yu said, Grandpa Xiaoyu restrained himself a lot, and Lu Mei's life was relatively easier.

Returning to Yilin this Friday boosted Lu Zhenzhong's mood very well.The strong sense of home exuded by his native family gave him great confidence and supplemented his courage to continue to fight against Sang Baiyue.

It's not easy for anyone, but you still have to fight for what you should fight for.

The next day, Lu Zhenzhong woke up after a good night's sleep. He asked his father if he had returned the money that his father put under the mattress to his sister.

Lu Zhenzhong and Lu's mother persuaded Lu's father to return the money to his sister, but Lu's father became angry and coughed at the two of them.In the end, he didn't let go.Mother Lu was so angry that she cursed for the first time.

Father Lu fought back violently.It was obvious that only two people were arguing, but there was a huge noise.Lu Zhenzhong had no choice but to give up his original idea, and both sides persuaded each other with good words.

The sense of home that was united and supported disappeared again.Lu Zhenzhong was a little dumbfounded.
