Pastoral Daily Life

Chapter 9: conflict

When Lu Lingxi was discharged from the hospital, she left the spider plant she kept to Sister Tian. He has raised this pot of Chlorophytum so well, the branches and leaves are stretched and green, and in the words of Sister Tian, ​​I feel good at a glance. Sister Tian likes it, and Lu Lingxi is also happy. This pot of spider orchid is the first pot of green plants he raised. As a major contributor to helping him discover the white panel, this pot of spider orchid has a very special meaning in Lu Lingxi's heart. If it weren't for the fact that he had too many bits and pieces, he and Wang Shuxiu would not be able to take it back with him and Wang Shuxiu, and Lu Lingxi was reluctant to keep it.

Seeing Lu Lingxi's reluctance towards Chlorophytum, Sister Tian smiled and joked: "Xiao Lu, don't worry, Sister Tian will help you raise this pot of Chlorophytum first, to ensure the spirit of raising it, someday Come to the hospital and bring it back."

Sister Tian said this, and Lu Lingxi laughed embarrassedly.

Farewell to Sister Tian and everyone in the ward, Lu Lingxi followed Wang Shuxiu out of the hospital. The two hired a car, Wang Shuxiu reported the address, and then repeated it to Lu Lingxi, asking him to remember the name of the community. Lu Lingxi nodded and looked outside through the car window.

Fengcheng is located in the north of China, not far from the capital of China, Zhongjing. It is a large-scale heavy industry city. Because it was summer, the streets were very lively, there was a lot of traffic and people, men and women, young and old, either walking in a hurry or looking leisurely, the whole city was full of vitality, and Lu Lingxi was fascinated by it for a while. In the past, he seldom went out in the Lu family. Even if he went out, most of the time he went to the hospital. Under the depressed and tense atmosphere at that time, he was not in the mood to look at the outside world at all. This is the first time he has seriously observed a city, so vivid, not through video and text, but through his own eyes.

The taxi stopped at a red light, and on the sidewalk not far away, a white puppy was struggling to get out of the owner's arms. The owner seemed to be unable to bear the tossing of the puppy, so he squatted down and put it on the ground, and at the same time stretched out his hand to carefully protect the surroundings. The little puppy looked around curiously with its big wet eyes, and tentatively stretched out its front paws and took a step. No danger. The little puppy was about to take the second step, when a little girl happened to pass by, and she barked in surprise when she saw it. The little milk dog was frightened by the barking, and stumbled around and threw itself into the owner's arms, never coming out again.

Lu Lingxi couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, but after laughing, he felt that his current mood was somewhat similar to that of the little milk dog. Maybe it was because he was locked in a small world for too long in the past, Lu Lingxi was full of yearning for the outside world. But when he could really come out, he was faintly afraid. He doesn't understand anything and has absolutely no experience in social life. Can he adapt to a new life? This question hovered in Lu Lingxi's mind, replacing the joy he had just discharged from the hospital, giving birth to a trace of anxiety about the unknown life. The little milk dog will have its owner to bring it to know the world. If it is afraid, it can throw itself back into its owner's arms. What about him?

"What are you looking at?"

Wang Shuxiu came over, the taxi just walked away, Wang Shuxiu didn't see the dog outside, but saw a square in the middle of the street not far away, and immediately pointed it to Lu Lingxi.

"See? Your mother and I work there, Star Plaza, remember."

"Hmm."

Wang Shuxiu excitedly pointed to the building outside the window to introduce Lu Lingxi. Maybe it was about to get home, and the surrounding area was basically the scope of Lu Lingxi's activities before. Where he used to go, where he used to go to school, the park where he last got into a fight. At the end, Wang Shuxiu patted Lu Lingxi on the head and concluded: "You can think of these places as long as you can, and it doesn't matter if you can't remember them, just treat them as a new place. Your mother and I came to Fengcheng from the countryside. I don’t know a few of them, so I’m not living well here. I’m fine these days, let that kid Yi Hang accompany you around and familiarize yourself with the surrounding situation.”

"En." Lu Lingxi's anxiety was slapped away by Wang Shuxiu's slap. With Wang Shuxiu's introduction, the whole heart gradually calmed down.

The taxi turned east and west on the road, and soon stopped in front of an old community near the city center of Fengcheng.

Lu Lingxi followed her and got out of the car. The first thing she saw was a row of crooked small sheds at the entrance of the community, and a figure pointing at them inside the small shed.

"Who did you bring back, Wang Xiaohua, doesn't he look like your son?"

A slightly mocking remark came out of the small shed, and the people inside suddenly laughed.

Wang Xiaohua is Wang Shuxiu's original name. When Wang Shuxiu was born, her parents were poor and had no culture. The girl was not worth much at that time, so she was named Xiaohua casually. After Wang Shuxiu left her hometown to explore the world, she felt that the name Xiaohua was very powerful, so she changed her name to Wang Shuxiu.

When Wang Shuxiu married Lu Yishui and moved to this community, she had already changed her name. No one knew her original name was Wang Xiaohua, but one time she fought with Lu Yishui, Lu Yishui called out this name in a hurry, and it happened to be heard by the neighbors who were bored watching. From then on, everyone likes to joke about her name when they have something to do.

Wang Shuxiu listened to their ridicule, sneered, and responded sternly: "Who am I to bring back to take care of your business, why is it not like my son is like your son, okay, you bring the money Keep it up."

Lu Lingxi: "…"

Wang Shuxiu said a word back, and the person who spoke before didn't dare to speak again.

I heard someone laughing and scolding: "Ma Laosan, can you do it, is it really your son?"

"Go away! If my son can grow up like this, he will not be able to marry a wife."

"Hey, what did Lu Lingxi look like before? I don't remember at all."

"Just look at the little brat of Yi Hang, it's exactly the same."

The people in the small shed seem to be very interested in Lu Lingxi. They have heard about Lu Lingxi's amnesia. For this kind of plot that often appears on TV to appear around, people are more curious than a lively mentality.

Wang Shuxiu pouted, too lazy to pay attention to them, and dragged Lu Lingxi into the community.

This community has been around for more than 20 years. After decades of wind and rain and poor maintenance, the entire community looks very dilapidated. Some of the external walls have begun to peel off, and more are black and covered with moss. Although there are flowers and grass in the community, it feels very messy. After walking two steps, you can see garbage accumulations everywhere, and more of them are small sheds randomly built by residents.

These are things Lu Lingxi had never seen before, and he followed Wang Shuxiu a little uncomfortable. Wang Shuxiu turned a blind eye to everything around her, and kept pointing to Lu Lingxi which building was passing by.

Their home is in the innermost part of the community, Building No.

"Coming soon."

After turning a corner, Wang Shuxiu turned her head to indicate that Lu Lingxi was ahead. Lu Lingxi looked at the front and suddenly froze for a moment, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Who are those?"

Wang Shuxiu followed his line of sight, threw the thing in her hand and rushed up.

"Lu Yishui, you bastard, what are you doing?"

Not far in front, Lu Yishui, with a bandage on his head, one arm hanging from his chest, was instructing several men of five sizes and three thick men to carry things out of 101. A green pickup was parked outside 101, and a thin man sat behind the pickup, languidly smoking a cigarette and shouting from time to time.

"You guys hurry up, you didn't eat in the morning."

Wang Shuxiu's voice attracted everyone's attention, the lean man glanced at Wang Shuxiu, Lu Yishui trotted two steps to block Wang Shuxiu.

"Wang Xiaohua, I warn you not to make trouble, Brother Feng is not a good negotiator."

Before Lu Yishui finished speaking, Wang Shuxiu slapped him on the head. "I'm making trouble? You can't live anymore. You asked them to remove everything. What about our mothers?"

Lu Yishui was slapped short by her slap, and shouted loudly with his arms in his hands. "It's not that you didn't give Lao Tzu money last time. Look at how Lao Tzu was beaten. If there were no such things, Lao Tzu would have lost his arm."

Wang Shu was so delicate that she was going to die. "I make you gamble, I make you gamble."

The man in the pickup sneered at Lu Yishui's cowardly look.

With a "dong", Lu Yishui's slap didn't hit Wang Shuxiu, but hit a pile of odds and ends.

Lu Lingxi's face was stern, he blocked the thing in his hand, and stopped in front of Wang Shuxiu.

"You little bastard..." Lu Yishui scolded.

Lu Yishui felt guilty, and his scolding gradually became lower.

The man on the pickup truck next to him looked at this scene with cold eyes and greeted loudly, "Okay, leave the rest for them." While speaking, the man looked over without looking at Lu Yishui Looking at Wang Shuxiu at a glance, he said to Wang Shuxiu, "It's only natural to pay off debts. Lu Yishui lost a lot of money to me, so don't blame me for moving things to pay off the debts. How much this thing can be worth is a bonus. I'm in a good mood today. , the rest will not be moved. The money Lu Yishui owes will be postponed for another week, and you can decide for yourself."

"Hey, hey, Brother Feng!" Lu Yishui pulled the man tightly and wanted to say something.

The man pushed him away impatiently and motioned for his subordinates to drive.

Pika swayed out of the community, Lu Yishui turned to meet Wang Shuxiu's gaze, and laughed dryly, "What..."

Wang Shuxiu spat at him, pulled Lu Lingxi into the house, locked the door and shut Lu Yishui out.

The house was a mess, and the refrigerator, color TV, and several large appliances were gone. Wang Shuxiu held back her anger and smiled at Lu Lingxi pretending to be okay, "If you don't go to the old one, you won't come to the new one. These things have long been used up. Mom will bring you tomorrow to buy new ones."

Lu Lingxi stretched out her hand to support her, she could feel Wang Shuxiu's body trembling slightly. He was afraid that Wang Shuxiu would be cruel and bad for his health, so he said softly, "I want to find a job, and I will support you in the future."

"Little bastard."

Wang Shuxiu cursed in a low voice, her eyes slowly turning red.
