What is temperament?
This is a mysterious yet real existence that exists within every gesture.
My aunt used to not believe in this thing, but then she met the thing called Giovanni, and her eyes were deeply hurt by this thing.
There are only two daughters-in-law in the Lao Lu family. Qiao Weini gives everyone the impression that she is a social elite, dignified and classy. Her aunt gives people the impression that she is a housewife. Although she wears the same style but different colors, everyone praises Lu Ming for not being her. My mother has a temperament, and she always smiles politely.
Smile, smile, laugh at your size!
After not seeing her for so many years, her aunt thought she had forgotten the crisis that Lu Mingfei's mother had brought to her, until Lu Mingfei came back recently.
The guy who hadn't been back since last summer suddenly knocked on her door with big and small bags. As soon as he opened the door, there was a "surprise" that echoed throughout the corridor. Before he even walked in, he gave her a warm hug, and then he barged in unceremoniously. He came in, put down his backpack and started looking for gifts.
I gave my uncle a Montblanc watch, and told my uncle in a low voice that the high-quality imitation watch should be retired. Then I took out a set of cosmetics and kept saying that people should not forget to dress themselves up in middle age, and so on, and continued to take out a set of cosmetics. Several pairs of clothes that looked expensive at first glance were put on the uncle and aunt, without giving them a chance to speak or react.
It can be called an overwhelming control of the entire field.
Even the middle-aged woman, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, was a little confused by his operation, and her original hostility disappeared.
She stared blankly at this familiar yet unfamiliar nephew.
To be honest, she doesn't like Lu Mingfei very much, but she doesn't dislike him either. Although there is an extra person in the family, alimony payments are sent from overseas every month. In addition to Lu Mingfei's expenses, there are also Yi Cheng, even though this little guy is not lovable, she doesn't think there is any need to get into a tense situation with such a little brat. It's just that she is a little dissatisfied with Lu Mingfei's mother, or that there are a lot of discussions around her. It made her dissatisfied with Qiao Weni...
What she was most dissatisfied with about Lu Mingfei was his character.
This little guy has always been depressed since he arrived at his house, like a boring gourd. He keeps everything in his heart and never tells anyone. When something happens, he just goes to the rooftop.
That's all. The most outrageous thing is that this kid is very good at "observing words and emotions".
Once someone came to visit her home and asked Lu Mingfei jokingly how she was doing here. The little guy glanced at her secretly, forced a smile and said it was fine, and that her uncle and aunt took good care of her...
Everyone was stunned at that time, the situation became awkward for a time, and she almost died of anger.
If she hadn't been worried about the presence of the guests, she would have really wanted to grab this guy by the collar and ask herself whether she had wronged him or abused him. It's fine for you to "secretly" look at yourself and then say so reluctantly with a smile, don't let others put it in perspective. What will others think?!
Afterwards, you asked Master Lu with a cold face what you wanted to eat. He was stunned for a moment and said anything would be fine, as if you would kick him out of the house in the next second.
If you ask him what he is dissatisfied with, he will look blank, then shake his head vigorously and say no.
She has nothing to do, never communicates with others, and tries hard to please others. Her contradictory and awkward smile makes her really sick.
When she got older, she started to quarrel. She often wandered outside after leaving home. Then someone asked her why your nephew went to the Internet cafe every day and stopped reading this book? She thought about how to stop being together for so many years.
He couldn't get into any college. What would others say when word got out? Then he and his husband started to limit his pocket money. As a result, he quarreled with her over that little pocket money. When he had a quarrel, he still ran to the Internet cafe...
The Lu Mingfei in her memory seemed to have always been like that, with his head drooped and a smile on his face, but that smile was so fake.
He lives in this family, but he is independent from this family. He has never really integrated in, and has always been separated from their family.
But at this moment...
The boy seemed to have grown up suddenly.
She was sure that she could feel a completely different temperament from the past in Lu Mingfei's eyes and demeanor.
When he smiles, he really smiles, bright and clear, no longer the false echo and reluctance of the past, simple and sincere.
His eyes are pure and natural, he no longer subconsciously avoids looking at others, he is gentle and reserved, and his words are neither humble nor overbearing.
He was obviously doing the same thing as before to please people, but everything was so natural. This naturalness was not because he was observing people's emotions, nor because he had learned acting or disguise, but because of a complex and deep emotion.
From the heart, without any reluctance, that is——
like.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back? I didn't buy groceries. Your uncle and I ate very simply at home. Don't tell me later that I did it on purpose..."
"I'm treating you to a meal!" Lu Mingfei bared his teeth and said, "Uncle, let's have a drink later."
"Okay, okay!" The uncle couldn't put it down admiring the real watch given to him by his nephew. He had already begun to wonder where there was a dinner party recently and how he could be "low-key and subtle" during the chat. He casually rolled up his sleeves and exposed the wrist watch.
watch……
It seems there is no dinner party?
Then create a dinner party!
"How unhealthy are the things outside? If you have the spare money, you can save it to find a wife. Don't spread the word that you are poor by paying us to eat." Auntie glared and cursed as she changed her shoes, "I'm going to buy groceries, you guys give it to me.
I washed and cut the vegetables in the refrigerator..."
Lu Mingfei and his uncle looked at each other and shrugged.

On July 16, 2011, it was a sunny morning, it was very hot and muggy, and the cicadas screamed desperately outside the window.
The sound of ding ding dong dong came from the kitchen. It was auntie chopping stuffing.
At this moment, the great Lord of Heaven was sitting in front of his notebook, wearing a three-piece suit of vest, shorts, slippers, scratching his shaggy head with one hand, and flicking away the flower mosquitoes that almost completed the jump in life levels by absorbing the dragon's blood.
He quickly entered a string of URLs, and with the brisk overture of "A Midsummer Night's Dream", the website popped up with a landing page, a 3D composite image that looked like a French farm, and next to it was an erotic and lousy real estate advertisement.
word--
"The famous midsummer residence in Kassel, a pure French vineyard 120 kilometers west of Tiananmen, will fulfill your dream of a water-view villa, and we are now booking rooms!"
As soon as the password is entered and the Enter key is pressed, the beautiful music is instantly interrupted. The interface is refreshed at high speed from top to bottom. The dark green operation page, countless thin frames with simple lines, buttons that cannot be seen at a glance, are extremely rigid.
Tech style.
Lu Mingfei directly entered the Night Watch forum.
At this moment, the author who has been missing for more than half a year has returned, destined to cause a bloody storm on the Night Watch forum.
On this beautiful morning, Lu Mingfei dedicated himself to the Chinese cultural influence at Kassel College.
Saying goodbye to the "warm and friendly" alumni, Lu Mingfei went out in his slippers to help make dumplings. After finishing the dumplings, his aunt asked him to wash the dishes. Lu Mingfei finished washing the dishes while humming a ditty and went out for a walk.
Could it be that it was summer vacation again, but unfortunately no one asked him to play with him? Thinking about it, his high school life was really a failure.
He walked out of the community and walked in the direction of Shilan Middle School. When he arrived at Shilan Middle School, he rubbed his eyes and felt that he had come to the wrong place.
In front of us was a two-way eight-lane road. All the sycamore trees in front had been cut down. All kinds of luxury cars were coming and going at high speed. There were countless construction sites on both sides of the road that were under construction at the same time, and excavators were rumbling.
Lu Mingfei couldn't see the eye-catching red brick wall of Shilan Middle School at all.
He almost wondered if he was right next to Shilan Middle School. This was the road he used to walk to and from school every day, but except for the alley behind them, everything else looked so unfamiliar.
At that time, this city could only be regarded as a second-tier city. It was relatively prosperous because it was located in the Yangtze River Delta and was a member of the "Yangtze River Delta Economic Development Belt." The main road in the city was a two-way six-lane with a speed limit of 70 kilometers.
Drivers of luxury cars often complain that no matter how good the car is, it is just a decoration and cannot run at all.
The CBD area had just been established at that time. People used to go shopping in the CBD area, where skyscrapers with glass curtain walls stood. However, my uncle’s neighborhood was still dusty, and the exterior walls were covered with wall-mounted air conditioners. In summer,
There was crackling water dripping down.
Lu Mingfei scratched his head. Although time is like a butcher's knife, this knife is too sharp.
He bought a pack of cigarettes from the nearby store and chatted with the guard at Shilan Middle School. He said that he was the first on the red list two years ago, beating the city's number one scholar Zhao Menghua who was admitted to Peking University's Department of Management. Now he has returned from abroad.
, prepare to visit the former campus and reminisce about the mood of the past.
The doorman stared at his slippers for a long time, then looked at the cigarette in his hand, and finally let him in.
Lu Mingfei walked into the campus, and the school full of sycamore trees in his memory disappeared, replaced by the magnificent Pantheon...
White "Corinthian" marble columns hold up the pyramid-shaped roof. On the left and right sides is a four- to five-meter-high sculpture. The wide white stone steps are covered with scarlet carpets. Dozens of construction workers are using impact drills.
Drill holes in the newly paved and dusty ground, and there is no water in the newly built fountain.
Lu Mingfei stared at the Pantheon for a long time, then crossed out Shilan Middle School in his notebook.
Eri Yi will arrive in this city tonight. He is thinking about where to take Eri Yi for a walk. The first place that comes to mind is the school full of sycamore trees in his memory, but he looks at the situation in front of him.
…
Withdraw, withdraw.
He went to a black Internet cafe near the school, but he searched several of them and found that none of them were still open. There were only a few new regular Internet cafes that had just opened. They were no longer filled with smoke, and a group of people were watching from behind while playing games.
The scene of waiting for the plane.
Finally, I was a little tired from stepping on my slippers, so when I passed by a bicycle shop, Lu Mingfei bought a white bicycle with a rear seat.
The clerk watched from behind as the man in slippers swung his butt and hummed while riding his bicycle and disappeared at the end of the road.
Lu Mingfei rode his bicycle through the straight shade of the trees, and the bright and hot sunlight penetrated the branches and leaves of the sycamore trees and fell on his face.
He rode his bicycle to many familiar places, but they only felt strange. Just a year after not seeing them, the city seemed to have been turned upside down.
He sighed, stopped the car and sat on the roadside, with the tall sycamore trees above his head spreading cool shade all over the ground.
He snapped his fingers casually.
"Here he is!"
A flattering voice came, and Lu Mingfei squinted his eyes, enjoying the massage from the person behind him, and groaned: "Press harder."
"Okay!" Lu Mingze pressed the button vigorously for three seconds, clapped his hands and said with satisfaction: "This free service ends here. If you like it, please remember to order me. The fee is not expensive, and a quarter of your soul is ok.
!”
"It's lonely." Lu Mingfei sighed.
"No, why are you lonely?" Lu Mingze said in shock, "Why don't you just be separated from your wife for a day, brother, and you will be lonely? If you have been lonely so easily before, shouldn't we settle this deal early?
?”
"Stop talking nonsense, it's my birthday after midnight, where's my gift?"
"We have already prepared it. You are a big customer. How dare we miss your birthday."
"Very good." Lu Mingfei nodded with satisfaction, and then sighed, "How come this city has changed so fast? Before I had time to walk on the old paths and remember the past, everything changed suddenly. I still can't.
I’m going to take Eri with me to visit every place I’ve ever visited.”
"Human beings are so hateful. They like the new and hate the old. They even dug up the hiding place where my brother used to be!" Lu Mingze said angrily.
Lu Mingfei said speechlessly: "Are you causing trouble?"
"No." Lu Mingze said aggrievedly, "Didn't we follow your direction?"
"By the way, where do you plan to let your wife live?" Lu Mingze suddenly asked.
"Let's find a hotel. It's not convenient to stay at home." Lu Mingfei scratched his head.
"Why don't you go take a look near your senior brother's house?" Lu Mingze said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.
He knew that his senior brother bought a small villa last year. He originally planned to buy one next door to his senior brother, but he had not yet taken action.
"Is there a surprise?" Lu Mingfei rubbed his hands and asked in anticipation.
"The duplex building, the wooden stairs connecting to the second floor, fluffy slippers, ivy... everything you want is prepared for you. Do you want to go take a look?" Lu Mingze turned a key ring on his finger.
A brand new silver key.
Lu Mingfei grabbed it with a reserved smile and said politely: "You're too polite, don't do this again."
"By the way, brother, it's almost four o'clock, why don't you go to the airport?" Lu Mingze suddenly asked curiously.
Lu Mingfei said blankly: "Why are you going so early? Isn't Eliyi's flight at seven o'clock in the evening?"
"Hey, didn't I tell you?" Lu Mingze glared, "My birthday gift to you is to advance the flight three hours so that you two losers can get together as soon as possible."
Lu Mingfei looked at him silently.
Lu Mingze blinked innocently.
He looked down at the time, three-twenty...
"Brother, I won't call a taxi for you. Why don't you ride your bicycle to pick up your girl? How romantic."
"ha?!
…
…
The plane landed smoothly.
The girl in a knee-length skirt walked out of the airport gate with her suitcase in hand, and her two round and shapely white legs were exposed from under the skirt.
She raised her head slightly and squinted her eyes to look at the vast and deep blue sky in a foreign country. The twilight sunlight fell on her delicate face.
In the magnificent sunshine, her figure is tall and slender, with pretty cheeks. She is looking for a familiar figure in the vast sea of people, and her clear and dustless eyes seem to be able to penetrate the bustling world.
The sun slowly set, half hidden under the horizon. When the crowds of people gradually thinned out, the girl still stood in front of the airport, looking at the direction in which the sun was setting.
It seemed that she still couldn't wait for the person she was waiting for.
Everyone passing by looked at her curiously.
I'm not only curious about who such a beautiful girl is waiting for, but also curious about what bastard actually let such a beautiful girl stand here and wait, so I have to wait an hour in advance for the girl to come.
You should say "It's okay, I just arrived" in a personable manner...
The summer breeze approaching night kissed the girl's waist-length dark red hair.
The girl suddenly smiled brightly.
Under the gradually darkening twilight sky in the distance, a boy was riding a bicycle hard, with his back to the setting sun that was almost completely setting the horizon. He stood up, took his hands off the handlebars, and waved to the girl from a distance while riding the bicycle, shouting to give way to pedestrians.
I couldn't help laughing, but I couldn't help but wish them well in my heart.
"Daughter-in-law, here I come!"
