Soul knot

In early November, the weather is getting colder and colder.

Taking advantage of the weekend daytime, Manzhu took Lu Yudong to the supermarket to pick out some winter clothes.

Thermal underwear, sweaters, coats, and shoes and socks for cold weather, all need to be bought new, which is a lot of money when you think about it.

From Lu Yudong's point of view, school uniforms are required anyway, the clothes inside are just for keeping warm, the brand and style are not important, just pick two of them and they can be changed and washed.

The child knew how to be sensible and wanted to save money, but Manzhu didn't want to wrong her, so she took her around with a firm attitude for half an afternoon and bought a lot of new clothes for her inside and out.

Manzhu originally wanted to buy the most suitable size for Lu Yudong, but Lu Yudong insisted on buying a bigger one.

She said, "I'm growing taller. The clothes are pretty and comfortable to wear. It would be a pity if I can only wear them for a year!"

Manzhu knew that the child wanted to save her some money, and she still owed a lot of money. After much deliberation, she followed Lu Yudong's unspoken good intentions.

On the way home, what Lu Yudong was holding in his arms and carrying in his hands were all the newly bought clothes for her by Man Zhu.

In the cold wind of early winter, she followed closely beside Manzhu who was also carrying a lot of things, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, earnestly keeping pace with Manzhu.

Back home, Lu Yudong rubbed his red hands, turned on the fan heater in the room, squatted beside him, and packed up the new bags he bought today.

Manzhu turned on the TV and sat down on the sofa.

After a while, Lu Yudong squatted and jumped in front of her with a pair of brown furry slippers with bear ears, like a little frog, and asked her to try them on.

The little girl's eyes were full of anticipation, Manzhu would not hurt her heart, immediately took off the pair of clean cloth shoes specially kept at home, and put on the cute and warm bear slippers.

"Is it warm?" Lu Yudong raised his head and asked.

"Yeah." Manzhu nodded.

Lu Yudong smiled happily: "Then I will wear this from now on, okay? Don't freeze yourself!"

"Okay." Manzhu reached out and rubbed the broken hair on Lu Yudong's forehead, his eyes were full of doting.

I have to say that a person who even wears pajamas in ancient styles suddenly wears that kind of furry slippers with small ears, which is unexpectedly cute.

In the past three months, Lu Yudong hadn't seen Manzhu wear a modern outfit, so he didn't like it very much.

It's just that now people outside are starting to wear down jackets, but Manzhu still hasn't bought some thicker clothes for herself. She is always worried that Manzhu will be cold, but she doesn't know how to remind her.

At this moment, seeing Manzhu put on the slippers she had chosen, she suddenly had the courage to stand up and sit on the sofa, took Manzhu's slender arm, stretched out her hand to straighten the thin front, and said softly like a kitten: "It's cold, you can't wait!" Now, you bought me so many thick clothes, so you can’t get cold, okay?”

Hearing this, Manzhu frowned, and tapped Lu Yudong's brow with his cold and soft fingertips.

"Ah!" Lu Yudong tilted his head back a little, subconsciously closed his eyes, and it took him a long time to dare to open his right eye.

The hands holding Manzhu still did not let go.

"You!" Manzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment, and it took a long time to say, "I don't know if I'm cold, but now you still care about me?"

She is a goblin, she has practiced for so long, and has her own spiritual power to balance her body temperature. If she hadn't seen more and more people adding clothes recently, she would not have remembered to buy new clothes for Lu Yudong.

Such absurd negligence caused Lu Yudong to suffer from the cold for a while, luckily he didn't have a cold, otherwise she would regret it to death.

Lu Yudong saw that although Manzhu's words were somewhat condemning, but not half angry, he bit his lower lip and snickered for a while.

She leaned her head lightly on Manzhu's arm, humming softly and coquettishly.

Man Zhu had nothing to do with her, she just shook her head silently and smiled, and replied: "I just need to wear more, you, you, you, you have to tell me as soon as you need anything in the future, do you hear me?"

"I heard it!" Lu Yudong said happily.

"Is there any money in the meal card?" Manzhu asked.

"There are more!" Lu Yudong replied.

"Did you finish your homework last night?" Manzhu asked again.

"I wrote it!" Lu Yudong nodded.

Manzhu nodded: "Let's watch TV for a while."

"Yeah!" Lu Yudong let go of Manzhu's arm, and sat upright, with happiness written all over his face.

A few days later, a few thicker jackets and cloaks were added to the closet at home.

Manzhu finally stopped wearing such thin clothes, Lu Yudong looked at it, and his heart warmed up along with it.

***

Because of Lu Yudong's insistence, recently, Manzhu no longer gets up early every day to make breakfast for her, and no longer takes her to and from school on time.

During the day, Lu Yudong was at school, and at night, Manzhu had to go to work again.

The time the two spend together is only on Saturday afternoons and Sunday daytimes, and the rest of the time, at most, they are people who go out early or come back late, looking at the peaceful sleeping face by the bedside.

Whether the two were going home or going out, they acted lightly, trying not to quarrel with each other.

Because of this, Lu Yudong learned to make breakfast for himself, and kept in mind Manzhu's instructions to make a glass of milk for himself every night.

In school, she studied and memorized every class carefully, and with the help of her teacher and Zhang Ziyun, she slowly made up for the lessons she missed.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-November, and the results of the school's midterm exam were released.

During the big class break, teacher Mo, the teacher in charge, posted the report card on the place closest to the door, and solemnly notified the parent-teacher meeting on Saturday afternoon, emphasizing again and again that every student's parents are not allowed to be absent.

"Look at Lao Mo's expression, it's really scary." Zhang Ziyun leaned close to Lu Yudong's ear and whispered, "This time his grades in class are not good, especially in math, he is at the bottom of the grade, which makes him mad."

"Anyway, you can't scold me. Compared with the last monthly exam, my ranking has improved." Lu Yudong lowered his head, held a pen, and compared the papers one by one, taking his test scores in each subject seriously. I really copied it on a sticky note and wrote a line at the end.

——Saturday at [-]:[-] p.m., the homeroom teacher will hold a parent-teacher meeting, and parents of any student cannot be absent

"I'm miserable, my grade rank is more than 60, and I'm going to be scolded to death..." Zhang Ziyun didn't notice what Lu Yudong was writing, and while talking to himself, he sighed melancholy, and poked Lu Yudong with his finger "Hey, when the time comes, will your father or your mother come?"

Lu Yudong was absent-minded for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he smiled slightly: "Neither, my parents...can't come."

"Ah? It can't be the old man, right? Teacher Mo hates coming to the old man's house when parents are invited the most!" Zhang Ziyun said, "Before Zhang Hao cheated and was invited by parents, it was grandma who came, and Teacher Mo was so angry that he was kindly sending him away. After grandma, he scolded him head and face."

"It's not an old man." Lu Yudong shrugged, "It's my sister."

"Sister... sister?" Zhang Ziyun looked surprised, "How old is it?"

Lu Yudong didn't know how to answer for a moment. She had never asked Manzhu's age, but when she was asked by her deskmate, she could only stammer and reply: "Adults, those who have a job."

Zhang Ziyun breathed a sigh of relief for Lu Yudong: "That's okay, if you don't say she is your sister, no one will know."

Lu Yudong nodded and said nothing more.

The boy named Zhang Hao came to talk to Zhang Ziyun again, Lu Yudong simply lay down on the table, closed his eyes and pretended to be a transparent person.

After returning home that night, Lu Yudong pasted the written note on the door.

From Monday to Saturday before school, she and Manzhu's time is staggered. If there is anything, just write a note in advance and stick it here. Manzhu will definitely see it when she comes back.

After posting the sticky notes and drinking the milk, Lu Yudong washed himself up and lay down on the bed to feel sleepy.

In the early morning of the second day, the sky was still dark outside the window, she cut off the alarm clock the first second it rang, carefully walked over the sleeping Man Zhu, got out of bed and put on her cotton mop.

Manzhu left a response by the door-really great progress, don't relax.I remember the matter of the parent meeting.

Lu Yudong stretched out his fingers and caressed the graceful handwriting, the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised slightly.

Parent meeting, parents...

Manzhu and her are a family.

***

On weekdays, Zhang Ziyun and Lu Yudong went to the cafeteria together.

At noon, the two of them ate together, and in the afternoon, she ate alone, and Lu Yudong accompanied her to eat the leftovers at noon, wishing to spend the 250 yuan on the meal card for two months.

Lu Yudong didn't have a mobile phone, so he used stationery sparingly on weekdays, ate well, never bought snacks, and couldn't even spend a dollar on his body.Such a classmate, who is well dressed and well used, doesn't look like a child from a poor family.

Zhang Ziyun thought, Lu Yudong's family conditions should not be bad, the reason for this should be that the family members are not responsible.

Because of this, every time they eat together, she will give some of her own food to Lu Yudong before the meal.

He said he wanted to lose weight, but he was actually afraid that Lu Yudong would not be able to eat enough if he divided his meal into two meals.

Since getting to know this tablemate, Zhang Ziyun couldn't help feeling a few words with his family when he returned home every weekend——Lu Yudong is so pitiful, her family doesn't seem to care much about her.

Even if she was beaten to death, she would never have imagined that before the parents' meeting, Lu Yudong would lead her back to her seat. It would be a young woman in Hanfu, with long hair like black ink, and impeccably exquisite facial features. Once she appeared, she would attract all eyes in the classroom.

Feeling frightened, Zhang Ziyun hurriedly dragged Lu Yudong into the women's room, started a round of questioning, and finally found out that Manzhu and Lu Yudong were not related by blood, and he was relieved.

It turned out that she was neither her own sister nor her stepmother, but someone who was very kind to Lu Yudong and a friend of Lu Yudong's parents.

It's okay, it's okay, such a beautiful big sister, if it is really Lu Yudong's irresponsible family members, it would be so disillusioning.

Soon, the classroom was full of parents, and the students were urged to leave by the class teacher.

Zhang Ziyun's mother took advantage of the time when the teachers were preparing the materials for the meeting, and started a conversation with Manzhu.

"Aren't you Lu Yudong's mother?"

Manzhu kept smiling politely, and replied, "Her parents are not here, so let me replace them."

Mother Zhang nodded and said with emotion: "I think so, you are so young and beautiful, you don't look like Lu Yudong's relatives. Hey, do you know her relatives?"

"It's considered acquaintance." At any rate, it's considered the end of the day, and it's not too much to seek friendship, right?

Zhang's mother rolled her eyes: "Acquaintance? It means that you are not familiar with her. If you are not familiar with her, you are asked to help hold the parent-teacher meeting? Ziyun is right. Lu Yudong's parents just don't care about her. After giving birth, they have no sense of responsibility. None."

Manzhu frowned: "Why do you say that?"

Mother Zhang closed her eyes and shook her head: "Hey, you don't know, poor Lu Yudong..."

She said: "But any parents with a little conscience, how can they make their children reluctant to eat well?"
