Rebirth of a virtuous wife and man

Chapter 20 Why are you here

After Lu Xijie and Fang Jing got home, they didn't catch up on sleep immediately.Along the way, Jing Jing didn't seem to think about anything, but also seemed to think a lot.Her eyes were red and her voice was a little hoarse.She said, "Son, when did you know?"

Lu Xijie helped his mother into the house and poured her a glass of water, before saying, "It was probably around May [-]st, it was quite 'accidental', when I heard that Fang Xian asked Lu Shengtian to take her to Jiuzhaigou, Lu Shengtian agreed, and when he came back, he Why don't we just ask you for money? At that time, I thought, we can't make them cheaper, let alone let Lu Shengtian buy the house and leave us alone."

Fang Jing nodded after listening, looking very calm.She is indeed not the kind of person who would die in hysteria, but it is undeniable that this incident still hit her hard.She said: "The house won't come down until the end of September, but if your father and I divorce him, we will have two places to buy a house. The money in my mother's hand can buy a small house. In this way, our mother and I will be able to buy a house in the future." and a place to live.”

Lu Xijie said: "Mom, when you two get divorced, Lu Shengtian will definitely ask you for money. Don't give him the money. I'll tell you how to do it later. You should also pay attention to the factory, and then start to collect the house When payment is due, we will buy your house first."

Fang Jing felt that his son seemed to have other plans, so he asked, "What other plans do you have?"

Lu Xijie showed a comforting smile, "I can't explain clearly in a few words, anyway, we will get better. Mom, don't be sad, you are not yet forty, and I will find someone better than him in the future!"

Fang Jing curled the corners of her mouth almost imperceptibly, "You child, what are you talking about. Go to sleep, mom wants to rest too."

Lu Xijie then went back, but instead of going to sleep, he went to Lin Fangjing's.After picking up the list today, there is still work to do, so it is impossible to sleep.It's a little late to go now, because today's job is for a big family, and the installation area should be the largest job he has done after his rebirth.

Lin Fangjing was receiving customers, so Lu Xijie rummaged through the folder under her gaze.He found the drawing and the customer's contact address, held it up for Lin Fangjing to confirm, and then went out with the toolbox.

The place to go is a new community, a group of villas that have just been built in the city. Although it is a bit far from the city, the environment is quieter.Lu Xijie took two buses to get there, and only after entering the client's yard did he realize that there are still some things to be happy about. People who have helped people can't help but feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.

That's right, Chen Yuan is in this small yard right now, staring at a tree in a daze.

Lu Xijie didn't see anything special about the tree, but because Chen Yuan looked too seriously, he also stood over and looked carefully, but he still didn't see anything special after watching it for a minute, so he asked Chen Yuan, "What's up there?" Are you concerned about your wife? What are you doing so seriously?"

Chen Yuan still maintained that posture and said: "My wife is not hanging on it, but there is a kind of moth hanging on it, which will make this tree face death." Speed ​​lowered his head.

Lu Xijie still didn't see where the bug was, but when he turned around, he saw Chen Yuan's side face, which was extremely clear under the sun, so clear that he could even see every eyelash.Chen Yuan has a pair of impressive eyes, like a dark deep pool, you can't see the bottom, but they are always attractive.For some reason, Lu Xijie's heart flickered, as if shaking.But he didn't understand what kind of emotion it was at this time, so he picked up the toolbox on the ground again and said, "Then take your time, I still have work to do, so I'll get busy first."

Chen Yuan turned around at this time, and he unexpectedly found that Lu Xijie's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and his face looked very pale. Compared with the few times he saw it before, his complexion was not a bit worse.He vaguely guessed that Lu Xijie worked two jobs a day, and at the same time remembered that his elder brother had worked so hard before, so he said in a strange way: "You should pay more attention to your health, your complexion is not very good."

Lu Xijie smiled, "Well, thank you very much." After speaking, he walked a few steps towards the client's house, then came back and asked, "Do you have any cigarettes?"

Chen Yuan took out one and held it in his hand, and asked with a half-smile, "Are you an adult?"

Lu Xijie sighed, turned around and continued walking towards the client's house.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan stopped him again at this time, "Lu Xijie, come back!"

Then Lu Xijie came back again, "What?"

Chen Yuan handed a cigarette to Lu Xijie, "Are you really underage?"

Lu Xijie put the cigarette under his nose, smelled it and said, "Fifteen."

Chen Yuan: "..."

Chen Yuan felt a little surprised.Lu Xijie was tall, but his face was young, he really looked like a middle school student, but seeing how steady Lu Xijie was doing things, he thought he was at least an adult.

Lu Xijie shook the cigarette in his hand and said: "Thank you", and then walked to the customer's house again, so he didn't see that Chen Yuan didn't kill the harm today, but brought a few people wearing some garden clothes The technicians in the company's overalls dug up the moth-eaten tree and took it away, and replanted a tree of the same species in that location, and sprayed the surrounding area.Of course, Chen Yuan did not administer the medicine. From the beginning to the end, he just stood there directing the technicians to work. After the excavated area was basically restored to its original appearance, the technicians came over and asked, "Mr. Chen, aren't you going back?"

Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Go back first, I still have something to do here."

The technician left after hearing the words, Chen Yuan raised his wrist to check the time, and then resolutely walked out of the community.He remembered that there was a noodle shop just outside.

Recalling this day many years later, Chen Yuan also felt quite puzzled as to why he acted.Anyway, he was hungry and planned to eat some beef noodles, but because he thought of Lu Xijie, he packed two bowls of beef noodles and went to look for Lu Xijie again.He felt that it was fate to be able to meet again and again in a strange city. Although Lu Xijie, a little brother, was a little younger, his personality was still compatible with him.Most importantly, his eyes always make him feel particularly peaceful in his heart, which has never been done before.

Lu Xijie has already installed one-third of the cabinets, but he didn't sleep all night, didn't eat in the morning, and the hot weather made him a little dizzy.A lot of furniture has been newly installed in this house, and the wallpaper and paint should have just been finished, so the smell in the room is very strong.Lu Xijie was used to the smell of various decoration materials, but today he was really uncomfortable.

The landlord is an aunt in her 40s, and she is quite enthusiastic.Seeing that Lu Xijie's expression was not very good, she said, "Young man, why don't you take a rest first? It's a pity that Auntie doesn't even have any water here, why don't you go out and buy some by yourself?"

Lu Xijie shook his head, but unexpectedly, the doorbell rang.

The landlord went to open the door, and Chen Yuan said without thinking: "Hello, Auntie, I have a friend who installs cabinets here, and I will help him."

Lu Xijie didn't hear Chen Yuan's voice inside, he got off the stool, took off his gloves and rested for a while, and only when he looked up did he see Chen Yuan coming in.This made him stunned, "Why are you here?"

Chen Yuan passed the bag containing the food forward, "Do you feel your stomach growling? I heard it from outside."

Lu Xijie took the bag curiously, sniffed it, and couldn't hide his surprise and said, "The beef noodles look delicious."

Chen Yuan sat on the ground with him, took out the bowls from the bag and shared them with each other. The kitchen was full of the sound of eating for a while.The owner's aunt saw it and asked them to eat at the table, but they didn't go. After all, they haven't used the newly bought furniture much, so how easy are they to use it.They still have this self-awareness.

Lu Xijie felt much more comfortable in his stomach when he ate a third, and he didn't feel so dizzy, so he said with a smile: "I was thinking about whether to go out and buy something to eat before working, or to go out to eat after finishing, You are really in time to send charcoal in a timely manner. But this way, I seem to owe you another meal." And it seems that he owes it first every time (?)

Chen Yuan seemed to swallow his food whole, very quickly, when Lu Xijie only ate half of it, he had already finished his portion.He put the noodle bowl aside, took a bottle of mineral water for himself to drink, and then leaned against the wall leisurely and said, "It's all trivial things, and it's not really a debt. But why don't you study at such a young age?" gone?"

Lu Xijie didn't expect Chen Yuan to ask this question, but he didn't think there was anything wrong, and said very honestly: "It's not that material, why waste resources and time? It's better to do something you want to do. What about you? I feel that I should It's also the age to go to school."

Chen Yuan said: "I used to be a soldier, but then I got injured and retired."

Lu Xijie thought about it, and remembered that he walked well when he saw Chen Yuan a few times, without any abnormality, so he said, "I don't think there is anything wrong with your leg?"

Chen Yuan said: "The place I am in is special. As long as I have suffered serious injuries, I can no longer stay. I don't want to transfer to other arms, so I simply retired. In fact, I am fine in normal times, but I die when the sky is cloudy. It hurts, it’s more accurate than the weather forecast.”

Lu Xijie didn't know much about life in the army, and what he knew was only what he had seen on TV, but he could imagine that only a certain part of it was allowed to be disclosed.So he would not speculate about Chen Yuan's previous life, so he said at the end: "Then it seems better to be careful in the future."

Chen Yuan stared into Lu Xijie's eyes for a long while, and gave a soft "hmm".

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Lu Xijie: Chen Yuan, are you feeling inferior?

Chen Yuan: Where do you see that I look inferior?

Lu Xijie: Then why do you keep silent?I thought you were ashamed of yourself.

Chen Yuan: Do you want to hear me speak?

Lu Xijie: Yes.

Chen Yuan: As long as a man has a strong third leg, he has nothing to be ashamed of.

Lu Xijie: Thank you, you better shut up!
