At noon the next day, I drove to Zha District by myself, that familiar place. I stood downstairs at Shen Lu's house and frowned. How come Shen Enci still lives here after so many years and hasn't changed rooms yet?
When I walked upstairs, I knocked on the door and the door opened. I saw Aunt Fang, "Auntie, it's me, Wang Li."
Aunt Fang is no longer in a wheelchair. When she saw me, she looked grateful. She quickly grabbed my wrist, called Shen Lu's name, and pulled me into the room. When Shen Lu came out, She was also quite decadent. She seemed to have lost a lot of weight and her complexion was quite ugly. It seemed that Aunt Fang still knew that I gave them money to get her back on her feet. She was particularly enthusiastic towards me. Shen Lu saw that When I looked at it, my expression was very awkward. Aunt Fang definitely knew part of our story, but she didn’t know everything about us. She cooked a lot of delicious food for me. She went downstairs and bought a lot of meals herself, as well as ribs, and There was meat, and I saw her buying a lot of it. Listening to her words, I came today and wanted to cook some delicious food for me, and then cook more and send it to Shen Enci and the others.
Shen Lu was lukewarm towards me. After helping Aunt Fang, she came out and started cleaning up the outside. Inside their home, it seemed that nothing had changed at all. It was like this many years ago and it is still like this now.
Shen Lu never talked to me much, nor did she ask me why I came. She no longer had the vigor she had when she was young, and even looked a little rustic. I saw calluses on her hands, which were thick and thick. dark circles
"Shen Enci has been managing the glory days for so many years, why is the house still like this?"
"The money was all put into those glorious years, and it was just a pit. The little money was divided among the people inside, or it was just for people to live in peace. I originally thought that after development, I would change places, but who knows, I would get deeper and deeper into the pit. The deeper he went, the last bit of money he had, including all the valuables, was sold, and he bought two cemeteries, one for the pimp, and the other for himself, so in the end, it’s hard to make money like this, shit. It tastes bad. This is normal. Thank you for your money last time. My mother's legs were able to stand up again because of your money last time. We have always given up hope."
"What about you, how are you doing lately?" In fact, I regretted it after I said this.
Shen Lu smiled at me
"If you are here to laugh at me, then feel free to laugh at us. I know that you are powerful now. You are a young entrepreneur, and you are rich and powerful. You can laugh at us as much as you like. Also, Let me tell you, my life is not good, and not only is it not good, it is very, very bad."
"You are still so extreme. I didn't mean that, and you don't have to target me like this. In the final analysis, I, Wang Li, have never done anything wrong to your family. On the contrary, it is you who have felt sorry for me."
Shen Lu was about to speak, but I interrupted her again, "And I came here this time just to see you. I never thought about laughing at anyone or anything. After all, you Shen Lu are my first woman. Shen Enci and I have a life-long friendship."
When I finished saying this, Shen Lu suddenly fell silent. I saw her eye circles were red, but she controlled it well. She sat aside and kept clasping her fingers.
"Mom is so old. She can't always live in a place like this and have to take medicine. Enshi has been tired for so many years. It's time for him to feel comfortable. With this money, you can buy a decent house. Buy a transportation vehicle, go to Shuijian for a month, quit your current job, and I will arrange a new job for you, and you can work hard."
As I said that, I pushed the bank card in front of Shen Lu.
"Face can't be exchanged for money, and I don't have any other intentions. If you don't want to take my money, then let me borrow it from you. After you save enough money from working in Shuijian every month, you can pay it back to me, Liu Xuan and Enci We broke up too, where is Qigang?"
"The two of them have broken up a long time ago. Liu Xuan fell in love with a rich man in college. The two of them have been separated for a long time. I said it early on, a** will always be a**. No matter how she corrects herself, she is also a** in her heart. .”
When Liu Xuan was mentioned, Shen Lu still looked indignant, but when she was about to talk about Qigang, she smiled
"Their family didn't agree with our affairs. They thought my family was too poor and I didn't have a serious job. He listened to the people in his family. There was some struggle at the beginning, but in the end, he finally gave up on me. He is now He is already married, to a woman from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and his life is quite good. Fortunately, I have never believed his bullshit vows, and I have never taken his words seriously."
Shen Lu smiled indifferently. Even though her sunny smile could not hide her inner sadness, Shen Lu still put her bank card in front of me and she smiled at me.
"I can't take the bank card. Let's wait until my brother comes back. He has to make the final decision on this kind of thing."
I didn't say anything anymore. I knew what Shen Lu meant. Aunt Fang really cooked a table of food for us. During the meal, we also talked about many, many things from the past. Time flew by so fast. In the blink of an eye, it was all A person in his mid-twenties.
I sat on the dining table and looked at Shen Lu. She was smiling. Aunt Fang was picking up food for me and Shen Lu. I seemed to think of many years ago, after lunch, Aunt Fang asked Shen Lu to go and bring food to her. Shen Enci delivers meals.
I took over the matter directly, or I was going to find Shen Enci. I didn't touch the bank card on the table, it was just a lunch box with food in it.
I went downstairs and asked where Shen Enci and the others worked. It was a construction site contracted by us. I parked the car and said hello to the project manager in charge of the project. The building had already been built with more than ten floors. I Following him, we went up to this unfinished building. When we went there, we happened to catch up with the dining point. Many workers were sitting there with their lunch boxes and eating. On Friday, the walls were all made of cement. There were many people leaning against them. Next to it, I quickly walked to the door of one of the rooms. This was a large apartment under construction. There were a lot of floors inside, and the smell was really bad.
The people inside were chatting and laughing, sitting there and chatting. As soon as I walked in, I saw three people in the corner, Shen Enci, DF, and Arctic Wolf. Each of these three people was wearing a helmet. They were all dirty, wearing rag shoes, and their pants were covered with paint spots. Leaning over there, three people were holding a few steamed buns. There was some cabbage in a rice bowl next to it, and there was a bottle of fermented bean curd nearby. It was pickled mustard, and several people were chatting and laughing.
When he saw me, Shen Enci's expression changed. Obviously, I was incompatible with the people in the room. The project manager next to me was also very attentive to me. These people also noticed it. Everyone
All eyes were fixed on me.
I took the lunch box and slowly walked to Shen Enci and the others. I sat down on the ground and put the lunch box on the ground. "Your mother made this for you. I brought it to you at noon."
Meals from your house.”
As I said that, I opened the lunch box smoothly, and the fragrance of ribs wafted out.
"It's delicious. I ate a lot just now. There are other dishes on top. Eat them while they're hot."
