Society owes me a brother

The four members of the Lu family spent most of the night dreaming at home, but it was not until the next day when Dad Lu went to the lottery center to redeem the prizes that they realized that everyone had a big oolong-they couldn't get the complete second prize at all. Bonuses, because there are still taxes to pay.

After excluding the various taxes that should be paid, the Lu family's bonus was only more than 16 yuan.

Having lost so much money all of a sudden, before everyone in the Lu family had time to feel distressed, they remembered another embarrassing thing-the issue of donating for most of the night was discussed last night.

"Shall we still donate 10 yuan?" It's easy to say when you don't see the money, but now the vain money is lying in front of you—even though it has become a thin passbook, Mother Lu still can't help it My flesh hurts.

Lu's father and Lu Chi were also silent.

Although Lu Chi bought the lottery ticket, he also earned the money.But now Lu Chi is only a 16-year-old high school student, and basically has no concept of making decisions about my money.He could only look at Papa Lu helplessly.

Fortunately, Papa Lu never disappoints.After hesitating for a moment, Father Lu said, "The idea at the beginning was to donate half and keep the other half. Since we didn't get that much money, we don't have to donate [-] yuan. As a compromise, we can donate [-] yuan."

Lu Chi hooked the corner of his mouth involuntarily.He looked at his father with joy and admiration.

Father Lu subconsciously straightened his back.

Seeing the silent interaction between father and son, Lu's mother moved her lips, but said nothing in the end.She is not an unreasonable person. Father Lu has already broken down the reasons for donating money and explained it to her. Even if Mother Lu is reluctant to part with the money, she knows that it is the most appropriate thing to do.

Lu's father put his arms around his wife and comforted him: "Don't worry, the good life of our family has just begun."

you do not say!The son is promising and the daughter is well-behaved, and the family business is booming. If you want to make money, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Thinking of this, Mother Lu felt much better.

Only the seven-year-old Xiao Miaomiao was not very sensible. She shook her head and looked at her parents and elder brother who had been serious since receiving the award, and asked in a daze, "Would you like to invite me to eat barbecue?"

When everyone came back to their senses, Lu Chi said with a smile: "Please, of course I will. When people from our old Lu family speak, it doesn't count."

So at noon that day, the four members of the Lu family happily ate a self-service barbecue.

The cafeteria greeters and bar staff remember the basketball team's disc action.Seeing Lu Chi's familiar face, everyone immediately remembered the fear of being dominated by inventory at noon that day.

The lobby manager's expression almost froze. Fortunately, at an emergency, he saw Lu's father, mother, and younger sister who came with Lu Chi.

A woman and a child, no matter how they can eat, the amount of food is limited.

The lobby manager blinked, and swallowed the heart that almost jumped out of his throat.Instead, he warmly and thoughtfully led everyone to their seats, and by the way warmly reminded: "Today is a working day, and our meal time is three hours. I hope you all have a good meal."

As soon as the service staff left, Lu Miaomiao couldn't wait to stand up and said loudly: "I want to eat ice cream, and I also want to eat small cakes."

When she came from the door, she noticed that there are a lot of delicious food here.

It was also the first time for Lu's father and Lu's mother to come to this kind of place. They looked at the environment of the restaurant with novel eyes, saw the dazzling array of ingredients on the dining table, and various meats in the two rows of large freezers. He couldn't help but say: "There are so many things, there are everything."

"And you can eat whatever you want."

As Lu Chi said, he took his parents and sister to the self-service area to pick up meals.

Although Xing Yuan once taught Lu Chi the material selection skills of "eating beef, oysters, and seafood, what is expensive and what to eat" when eating buffet, the four members of the Lu family are obviously not interested in some strange and weird seafood ingredients, especially those that need to be eaten raw .

Lu Chi, who has a particularly down-to-earth taste, strongly recommended Brazilian barbecue to his parents and younger sister, and then returned to his seat with dozens of plates of beef from the fresh food area, and volunteered to help everyone barbecue.

Father Lu was very pleased with his son's sensibleness, but he couldn't trust his son's cooking skills, so he took the barbecue tongs from Lu Chi's hand with a strong attitude, determined to carry out the role of cook to the end.

Lu's mother took Lu Miaomiao to choose things in the self-service area.Lu Miaomiao clamored for ice cream, but during the lunch rush hour and in summer, the ice cream was consumed very quickly, and there was only the bottom of the ice cream tub in the freezer.

Mother Lu didn't know that these ingredients were always available.Seeing that there was not much ice cream left in the freezer, I dug out half a scoop as well, and gave it to my daughter to try something new.

Even so, seven or eight kinds of ice cream also piled up more than half of the plate.During the period, Lu Miaomiao was particularly greedy and picked up four or five pieces of Western-style cream cakes, and seven or eight pieces of southern pastries that were shaped into petals of little goldfish and monkeys.

Children have a childlike innocence and fun, and they always like this kind of colorful snacks.Even Lu's mother is rare.When the mother and daughter were about to take it back to show off to the father and son who were barbecued, they saw a well-dressed professional woman with a bad complexion and a girl who was about the same age as Lu Miaomiao walking over.

The girl walked to the freezer with the plate in her hand, seeing that the ice cream in the freezer was almost empty, she quit immediately and shouted loudly: "Mom, I want to eat ice cream."

The professional woman frowned, with a hint of impatience flashing across her face, she reprimanded in a low voice: "What did mom tell you, don't make a lot of noise outside, it looks like you have no family education."

"But I want to eat ice cream." The girl pouted to express her dissatisfaction.

The professional woman glanced at the bucket of ice cream in the freezer, not wanting to scrape the bottom of the bucket for her daughter, and immediately said, "It's gone. Wait a little longer."

"But I want to eat it now. I want to eat it now." The girl grabbed her mother's sleeve and acted like a baby.She glanced at the dinner plates in Lu's mother and Lu Miaomiao's hands, and said immediately: "I want to eat ice cream, and I also want to eat small cakes, little goldfish and little monkeys. I also want to eat that much."

Mother Lu is a person who likes children very much. Seeing this, she also wanted to give Miaomiao's ice cream to this little girl, and she would scrape the bottom of the bucket herself—she had estimated just now that the ice cream bucket in the freezer was at least as good as it could be. Scrape out two plates.

The professional woman glanced at Lu's mother, and saw that she was dressed in rustic clothes, and Lu Miaomiao was also tanned into a black ball. The mother and daughter stood there as a pair of village flowers.Immediately, I felt a little restless, and immediately refused lightly: "No need. The waiter will bring a new barrel later. You can keep it for yourself."

Lu's mother was keenly aware of the indifference of the person in front of her, and she was not a character with a hot face and a cold butt, so she stopped talking.Holding my daughter's hand, I was about to leave.

But he didn't expect that when he turned around, he suddenly heard a sneer. Although the voice was subtle, it pierced into the ears of Mother Lu and Lu Miaomiao

"...What a pair of bumpkins. I haven't seen them in my eight hundred lives."

Mother Lu was stunned for a moment.Lu Miaomiao snorted unconvinced, turned around and retorted loudly: "I want you to mind your own business and eat your rice?"

"Hey, you child, why are you talking to adults like this?" The woman didn't expect a child to speak so impolitely, and she sneered and accused: "Didn't your parents teach you to be polite? You are so young, so Uneducated."

"Do you still know how to write the word "education?" Lu's mother protected the child behind her, and said unceremoniously: "Before talking about my daughter, let's take a look at yourself, what kind of virtue!"

"Hey, why are you like this?"

"At first glance, it looks like a foreigner who came here to work, and he has no quality at all."

"Do you have quality? Can you tell me what your quality is? You are so big and care about a seven-year-old child, and your words are worse than farting..."

Father Lu and Lu Chi were concentrating on the barbecue when they heard a commotion from the buffet area.

Father Lu, who had strong investigative skills, moved his ears and said suddenly: "Why do I seem to hear your mother's voice?"

"Huh?" Lu Chi heard the words, and listened for a while, and immediately got up and said, "Mom seems to be fighting with someone."

Thanks to the stick in Xia Tian, ​​Lu Chi's five senses are very sharp now.

The father and son looked at each other, immediately put down what they were doing, and hurried to the self-service area.

I saw Lu's mother and Lu Miaomiao arguing with another mother and daughter.

Father Lu was relieved to see that his wife and children did not suffer, and was about to go up to fight, when his son asked in surprise, "Why are you?"

The professional woman who was arguing with Lu's mother also saw Lu Chi, and her face froze.

Lu Chi frowned, glanced at the little girl who was about the same age as Lu Miaomiao standing next to the professional woman, and said, "This is my aunt's daughter, right? A little girl this big has just had appendicitis surgery. Why did Auntie bring her here for barbecue?"

The expression of the professional woman in front of her who had been arguing with Lu's mother for a long time changed again.He smiled unnaturally: "Are you Lu Chi's classmate? Why don't you go to school?"

"My parents came to see me. They came out to eat at noon." Lu Chi didn't mention the lottery winning thing, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Qiao, how is it?"

"Mr. Qiao?" Lu's father and mother were taken aback when they heard the words, and immediately thought of one person - anyway, they knew only one Mr. Qiao.

"Why are you so unlucky!" Lu's mother curled her lips: "One dog sees people as inferior, and the other knows how to throw money at people. It really doesn't mean that the whole family does not enter the house."

Lu's mother spoke harshly, but An Wenhui didn't quarrel with Lu's mother like before. She just glanced at Lu Chi anxiously, grabbed her daughter's hand and said, "Since you are Qiao Shiyu's classmate, auntie will I don't care about it with you. I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

Everyone in the Lu family looked at An Wenhui's back in a hurry, dragging her daughter away.

Lu's mother couldn't help complaining: "Whoever uses her doesn't care! I think she just said that she can't beat me, and she left without face. She came here to find fault for no reason. It's like eating gunpowder. Who is afraid of her!"

Father Lu nodded in agreement, and seconded: "That's right, let's not talk about her. Counting our ten miles and eight villages, who are you afraid of!"

Mother Lu: "..."

Lu's mother, who was a village flower when she was young, couldn't help asking: "How do you talk? Am I not gentle, am I not a good wife and mother?"

"Who said that?" Father Lu looked around solemnly, and saw that the master had left, and the people who had been watching the excitement had also dispersed.

Lu's mother saw that Lu's father was pretending, she couldn't help laughing and said: "Morality."

When Lu's father and Lu's mother went back to Beijing to visit the beaten Lu Chi last time, they only saw Qiao Shiyu and her father, Mr. Qiao, but not An Wenhui.

When she returned to her seat to eat barbecue, Lu's mother couldn't help but said: "She is your classmate's mother? She doesn't look like one at all."

Lu Chi smiled and said, "Stepmother."

"No wonder!" Lu's mother suddenly realized, and commented with tinted glasses: "I think she is not a fuel-efficient lamp if she stings like a scorpion. You classmates are often bullied, right?"

Lu Chi thought about the bad things about Qiao Shiyu, and nodded with sympathy.

Lu Miaomiao has a particularly good memory to defend her pretty little sister: "I know her too...but it's bad. When the pretty little sister celebrates her birthday, she always hugs the pretty little sister's father and doesn't let him come to give the pretty little sister a hug. Sister’s birthday celebration. The beautiful little sister’s father came only at night, and he scared the big brother and the others.”

Lu Miaomiao unceremoniously told the frustration of a group of boys and girls watching ghost movies and scaring themselves.

Lu Chi looked at his sister helplessly—this was his own sister, and she didn't save any face.

After lunch, Lu's father and Lu's mother took Miao Miao home, and Lu Chi had to go back to school.By the way, discuss with Zhang Yang about purchasing notes.It just so happened that Qiao Shiyu also came to find two novels.Lu Chi talked about meeting An Wenhui and her daughter by chance in the cafeteria.

Qiao Shiyu's complexion suddenly changed: "An Wenhui only has one daughter, Lin Lili, who is the same age as me, and is in the third year of high school in Yanjing Foreign Language Middle School. Are you sure that what you saw today is her daughter?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
