() In order to save time, Lu Yang and Wei Zhixiu did not take the bus to transfer to Central District Street, but planned to take the bus directly from Shangming Temple and return to Yudeng Town through the ferry.
The commercial street near Shangming Temple does not yet have the New Era Department Store, a commercial landmark in Chongshan. Lu Yang and Wei Zhixiu first went to a cleaner place to have lunch, and then went to the Bank of China to deposit money.
Chongshan Department Store.
The outlets here are still built in the 1980s, so naturally they are old and shabby, but the prices of goods in Chongshan Department Store are much more affordable than those in New Era Department Store.
Of course, this is only relative. In these days, it would be great for an average family to go shopping once or twice a year and buy some things.
Lu Yang first compared his figure and bought a more formal-looking set of summer trousers and a dark-colored shirt, and a pair of leather shoes. Then he bought a midi skirt for Zhang Shufen, and a belt for Liu Qiuhua, and then
Bought some snacks for Wen Xiaoli.
Lu Yang finally bought Wei Zhixiu a set of more fashionable casual pants and a shirt. Naturally, he explained in advance that he was giving Wei Zhixiu a dress as replacement clothes.
Wei Zhixiu didn't say much this time. After all, Lu Yang earned all the money, and she wasn't really his little wife.
Thinking of this, although her face was calm, her heart was filled with shyness.
After coming out of Zhongshan Department Store, Lu Yang took Wei Zhixiu to the bus. Passing by Xinzhong Bookstore, he saw the "Interior Design and Decoration" magazine of that month, so he bought a copy.
The bus swayed slowly and slowly towards Yudeng Town. When crossing the river, you had to take a ferry, and everyone on the bus had to get off.
Wei Zhixiu went down first. She saw the rolling river water and the wide surface of the river for the first time. She seemed to be quite interested, so she got closer and wanted to take a closer look.
The ferry suddenly started to shake after it started moving. Wei Zhixiu almost slipped due to the sway, but was hugged tightly by Lu Yang, who had always been very wary.
Then Lu Yang refused to let go and kept hugging Wei Zhixiu in front of him. The two stood at the corner of the ferry and looked at the river view together.
As the sun sets in the west, the sun shines on the river, and when blown by the river wind, it creates waves that look like golden fish scales.
This scene made me happy. Lu Yang's mood became more and more relaxed. He put his arms around Wei Zhixiu's waist, put his forehead on the beauty's shoulder, and looked sideways at that beautiful face.
"sister."
Lu Yang suddenly spoke and called softly into Wei Zhixiu's ear.
"Um?"
Lu Yang's breathing came to her ears, Wei Zhixiu felt itchy, and she didn't know whether it was comfortable or uncomfortable. Her voice at the moment was like a meow.
"We will all be like this in the future..."
Lu Yang took a deep breath, looked at the river rolling eastward, and seemed to make a promise from heaven and earth, saying: "Be happy together, and be happy."
"..."
After hearing that Lu Yang was not joking, Wei Zhixiu seemed to be hit by these words. She no longer thought too much, just let the river wind blow over her face, letting her hair and the words quietly come out of her mouth.
Words, passing by in the wind together.
"good……"
It wasn't until the ferry reached the other side that Lu Yang let go of Wei Zhixiu's arm and pulled her onto the bus.
Today, Lu Yang is wearing trousers, shirt and leather shoes. He looks a little more mature and does not look so small. Although Wei Zhixiu still looks a lot older, the two of them together are not too eye-catching.
At this time, the folk customs in Yue Chongshan were still quite conservative, and it was very rare for men and women to be that intimate in public. After all, more than ten years ago, some people were severely beaten just for kissing their girlfriends on the street.
When getting on the bus, there will inevitably be older middle-aged and elderly people glaring at the two of them with scolding eyes, and from time to time they will mutter something about being shameless. Of course, there are also some young men and women who laugh and talk about how loving they are.
words.
Being noticed by a group of people in the car, Wei Zhixiu had nowhere to focus her eyes, so she could only look out the window with a rosy face. Lu Yang didn't care at all, he just smiled and held her hand, paying no attention to the eyes around him.
The bus quickly passed the ferry and arrived at the lively Yudeng Town Market. The two got off the bus. It only took a few minutes to walk to the Education Bureau.
Lu Yang and Wei Zhixiu returned to the family building of the Education Bureau. Wen Xiaoli was the only one in the room, reading and reviewing her homework. She planned to perform well in the placement test.
Wei Zhixiu loves to be clean, so she went to take a shower first. Lu Yang put down his luggage and took the belt for Liu Qiuhua and the snacks for Wen Xiaoli to give to her. He received a lot of surprise looks on this little girl's face.
Seeing these unfamiliar foods, Wen Xiaoli's mouth watered, and she had no intention of reading. She took a piece of chocolate and started eating, and happily gave half of it to Lu Yang.
He hadn't eaten dinner yet and Lu Yang was hungry. He swallowed it all and asked casually: "Where have everyone gone?"
Lu Yang felt a little strange. It was already night, why was Wen Xiaoli the only one at home?
"I...my mother...she went back to Yao...quan."
Wen Xiaoli seemed to be very hungry. She had a small piece in her mouth and swallowed the second piece without chewing it a few times.
This kind of square chocolate is so delicious, unlike the ones I had before that tasted like white sugar.
"Why did your mother go back?"
Lu Yang was puzzled, and Wen Xiaoli quickly swallowed the chocolate in her mouth and explained.
It turns out that since Zhang Shufen decided to rent a house to run a workshop nursery, she called Lu Jiangan early, and he agreed.
As for the funds, the workshop director at the main factory seemed to be willing to use the small treasury, so it was decided to start preparations in mid-August, and Liu Qiuhua was also confirmed as the person in charge of the nursery.
For this matter, Liu Qiuhua was so grateful that she took an empty truck from the Red Shipyard back to Yaoquan a few days ago and asked Wen Xiaoli to give Lu Yang a message, saying that she would take advantage of these days to run more often and bring more books.
come over.
"Your mother is too impatient."
Lu Yang shook his head helplessly.
In fact, after selecting them, most of the books left there are ordinary old books. Each book only costs a few yuan. He can only rely on quantity. He is not in a hurry.
Wen Xiaoli just smiled and didn't answer. Lu Yang found that only Liu Qiuhua's whereabouts were clear, so he continued to ask other questions.
"What about my mother and fifth brother?"
"Your house is being renovated today. Aunt Zhang went to watch it in the evening because she was worried, and Brother Wu also followed."
Then Wen Xiaoli continued to explain that it turned out that the house of Lu Yang's family was confirmed yesterday, and Zhang Shufen took the key and completed the handover. Zhang Shufen had already found a decorator a few days ago and was anxious to start the decoration this morning.
"Oh, my mother is more anxious than your mother!"
Hearing the news, Lu Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly. He suddenly became anxious.
Lu Yang insisted on coming back on the weekend. In addition to selling books, he also wanted to see the decoration of the house and provide some of his own opinions.
In the previous life, the location and floor of the house that Lu Yang's family chose were not good, and in order to save time, the decoration was so bad that the second-hand house price was much lower than other houses in the same building.
Not only does Zhang Shufen have no decoration experience at all, but the private housing market has just started to take off in these years. She is also short of talents and various supporting facilities in this field. Most of them are decoration guerrillas. It is not easy to achieve good decoration results.
Later, Lu Yang renovated it himself once in order to save money, so he was quite clear about the details here.
Lu Yang told Wen Xiaoli, then ran outside the bathroom with a smile, knocked on the door, said hello to Wei Zhixiu who was startled inside, and hurried out the door.
It was almost dark at this time, and there were no street lights past Chongxian Middle School. Although there were some faint lights from small buildings beside the road, it was still very gloomy to walk among them.
Lu Yang could only speed up his pace. Fortunately, the house was in the fifth group, so it was relatively safe to go there. Otherwise, if he were going to the first group, he would have to pass through the chaotic area of Xiaojianghu. He really didn't want to go alone at night.
Twenty minutes later, Lu Yang arrived at the fifth group. Compared with a week ago, the efficiency was really high. The peripheral greening had been completed, and only some finishing work in the distance was still going on.
Since the handover of houses has started one after another in the past few days, there are many lights on in several buildings at this time, and there are some figures who look like migrant workers walking around inside and outside from time to time. It is obvious that many houses have begun to be renovated.
Wen Xiaoli had mentioned the room number, and Lu Yang was familiar with this generation. Without much effort, he found his location, which was No. 6, Unit 2, Building 2, Group 5.
The second building is not as noisy as the first one, it is easy to get in and out, it has three floors, and the room number lottery is better. It seems that my mother is very lucky and has chosen a good house.
Seeing the familiar house number at the entrance of the stairs, Lu Yang realized what he was doing. He couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't expect that his family would live in this building this time.
On the second floor, Lu Yang saw a house under construction. He hurried to the third floor and locked door No. 5 opposite.
Lu Yang entered his house and was stunned when he saw it clearly.
At this time, the house was naturally a clear-water house. There were some building materials on the small inner corridor at the entrance, but there was no sign of construction at all.
Wei Zhiwu sat dejectedly on a wooden bench. Next to him stood an honest and humble young man, whose face looked a bit like Wei Zhiwu's. He also had a sad face at this time.
"Xiao Yang..."
Hearing the footsteps, Wei Zhiwu looked up and saw that it was Lu Yang, and asked listlessly: "Why are you here?"
"Fifth brother," Lu Yang was very puzzled. He walked to the wooden stool, patted Wei Zhiwu on the shoulder, and asked, "What's going on? Where is my mother?"
"Second Aunt and Aunt Xu went to find someone..."
Wei Zhiwu said it with a bitter look on his face.
"Looking for someone?"
Lu Yang was even more puzzled. Didn't he say that he had already found a decoration team?
"It's not my fault, Fifth Uncle, it's my fault..."
The honest middle-aged man next to me took the initiative to speak.
"Fifth brother, who is this?"
"My sixth nephew," Wei Zhiwu said carelessly, pointing at the middle-aged man, "Wei Xingguang."
The middle-aged man named Wei Xingguang grinned at Lu Yang, seemingly not caring about the title.
Lu Yang was not surprised. Although Wei Xingguang looked a few years older than Wei Zhiwu, seniority in rural areas was very important, especially in places like Yaoquan where clan power was very strong.
Wei Xingguang had obviously lived in Chongshan for a long time and was much more stable than Wei Zhiwu. Although he had an honest face, his speech was quite clear and he immediately explained the situation at hand.
"I see."
Lu Yang nodded understandingly after hearing this, then smiled and said something.
