"Chengzi?" Lou Cheng's mother shouted as soon as the door opened.
Lou Cheng put down the mouse long ago and walked out. He was surprised and happy: "Are you back so early?"
"Morning? Is this called early? If your dad hadn't been so tired, I would have started cooking right now!" Lou Cheng's mother nagged while changing her shoes.
Lou Cheng's father wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his hair was stubbornly messy, and his face was shaved green and white. He smiled bitterly and said: "Your mother is just too impatient. She just got up and has not eaten breakfast yet, so she is in a hurry to rush."
Come back, what's the use of it? You get home sooner or later, and you haven't had breakfast yet, and it's not time to make lunch yet, so why bother?"
"You are the only one who makes sense!" Lou Cheng's mother glared at him, "I don't have to buy groceries anymore? Are you not worried about your son anymore?"
"How old are you Chengzi? You have hands and feet, money and a mobile phone. What else do you need to worry about?" Lou Cheng's father changed into his slippers, held his own thermos cup in both hands, and walked slowly into the living room.
He was wearing a black woolen coat. He was slightly shorter than Lou Cheng, just over 1.7 meters tall, with a slim build. His face had a weathered complexion and not many wrinkles, but his cheeks were slightly sagging.
Seeing the old couple bickering as usual, Lou Cheng's heart warmed and he said with a smile: "I went out for exercise and had breakfast with Jiang Fei."
"Exercise?" Lou Cheng's mother looked over suspiciously, "Chengzi, you used to stay up until noon during holidays. When did you change?"
She was wearing a red slim-fitting down jacket, and it seemed that she had her hair tied up specially to go to the wedding reception. The crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were more obvious, and she was a little fatter, but she was in good spirits and looked good.
"What's wrong with exercising? The body is the capital of revolution!" As an intellectual, Lou Cheng's father always feels that he has an obligation to express his opinions.
"You're the only one who talks a lot! I'm talking to my son!" Lou Cheng's mother glared at him again.
Lou Cheng suppressed a smile and said, "Didn't I tell you? I joined the university martial arts club and now I am used to getting up early every day to exercise."
"Martial Arts Club, don't go wandering around. What should you do if you get injured?" Lou Cheng's mother nagged, "I'll go buy some food first and cook you a delicious meal. I'll see how thin you are.
The school must not have good food."
Lou Cheng said blankly: "No, I gained almost fifteen pounds."
"Look at your face, where does it look like you've gained weight?" Lou Cheng's mother didn't believe his explanation at all.
Lou Cheng used actions instead of words. He pulled out the electronic scale at home, took off his coat, and stood on it.
"Is this scale broken? Is it out of power? Why is it really 15 pounds heavier?" Lou Cheng's mother looked at the numbers and said in surprise.
Lou Cheng pointed to his arm with a smile: "The emphasis is on muscles. I'm not fat, but I'm strong. This is all the result of martial arts training. I eat much better now than before. I can be as good as two people in the third year of high school."
Half, Mom, don’t make too much food later.”
He used to be underweight, but as his food intake increased and his muscles became stronger, he is now barely at the weight of a normal warrior. However, according to Old Man Shi's opinion, he needs to be a little heavier, otherwise it won't be powerful enough to hit people.
"As long as it's strong, it's good." Lou Cheng's mother smiled happily, "Then you accompany me to the vegetable market tomorrow and pick up the things. It's almost the Chinese New Year, so I have to stock up on some food, otherwise it won't be easy to buy."
After saying that, without waiting for Lou Cheng to answer, she rushed into the kitchen, picked up the towable grocery trolley, put on her shoes for going out, opened the door and left.
"Your mother, you have been so turbulent all your life." Lou Cheng's father unscrewed the lid of the thermos cup, took a sip of strong tea, smiled and shook his head.
"It's good." Lou Cheng walked to the sofa next to his father and sat down, "She always nags you about your chronicity."
Lou Cheng's father put the thermos cup on the coffee table, sat down and asked, "How is it? Are you getting used to it at school?"
He had already heard the answers to these questions from Lou Cheng's mother, but he always felt that he didn't care enough if he didn't ask them.
Lou Cheng laughed when he heard this and said cheerfully: "I was wondering before, dad, if you would ask this commonplace topic, but I actually did!"
Lou Cheng's father was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said with emotion: "Chengzi, after half a year of college, you have become a lot more cheerful."
"Dad, I wasn't boring or introverted before, was I?" Lou Cheng asked in confusion.
Lou Cheng's father smiled and said: "It's not that you were boring before, but you are more cheerful now. Before, you just asked questions and answered questions. Now it's better, you can answer questions quickly."
He used lines from the skit to make a humorous statement.
Lou Cheng was amused and replied subconsciously: "Maybe there is not so much pressure to study in college, and the roommates in the dormitory are all easy to get along with, so I feel a lot more cheerful."
To be precise, I am a lot less talkative, and this is all thanks to classmate Cai Xiaoming!
Practicing martial arts to cultivate Qi, following Yan Zheke to practice speaking, and bickering with Xiao Ming to enhance the ability to joke. These are all indisputable facts. On the outside, they appear to be more comfortable and calm, and can liven up the atmosphere.
The ancients often said that a good teacher and helpful friend is the role of a "beneficial friend", and it will really benefit you throughout your life.
Although there is a saying that it is easy to change the situation, but the nature is hard to change, but human nature is a process of slowly shaping. I am in the stage of just establishing and still fine-tuning, and I will definitely be affected by the surroundings. If I have good friends and good masters, I will meet
Finding a good girl is really a lucky thing. Of course, even if your personality has been fixed, it is possible to change after experiencing big changes and big blows.
"Well, it's good now." Lou Cheng's father nodded with satisfaction, "But even if the pressure is not great, you still have to study hard. This is your capital for the rest of your life. The new college students in our factory really don't understand anything...
…Don’t listen to other people’s nonsense, saying that you can relax and have fun after you go to college, then you’re in the ditch.”
Lou Cheng used to be impatient to listen to this kind of teaching, but now he is quite impressed: "Yes, there are three people in our dormitory who love to study very much. Every time I see them, I feel guilty, so I have to work harder."
At this time, he found that his father's eyes were fixed on the bottle of Ningshui Daqu, so he explained: "Wang Xu brought the original wine, and he drank two glasses of it himself."
"Is he a boy from the Lao Wang family?" Lou Cheng's father pondered for a moment and said, "Don't have too much contact with him in the future. Alas, Lao Wang has suffered all his life. When he grows old, he still has to suffer the consequences of his son."
"Dad, I understand, this kind of mixed society can't be contacted without contact." After chatting with Yan Zheke, Lou Cheng was able to make a calm decision on this.
"Just understand, don't look at your dad. I have contacted several famous bosses in Xiushan because of the factory. They all seem to be kind and have a sense of propriety in what they say and do. But for those who follow the underworld, none of their subordinates dare to fight or kill."
Who would be friendly with someone like him? Which boss got to the position by being friendly? It’s not just fighting and fighting. When it didn’t matter if you didn’t have money at the beginning, how could you control the people below if you weren’t ruthless enough?”
Lou Cheng's father was very touched by this and couldn't help but chatter a few more words. Back then, he watched helplessly as young workers in the factory became street gangsters one by one. Many of them even became addicted to drugs, causing a mess in the community.
The public security was very bad for a while.
Lou Cheng nodded and said: "Anyway, I don't like to come into contact with such dark side things."
Wouldn’t it be nice for people to live a more sunny life?
"In a few years, Lao Wang's boy will get older. I hope he can calm down." Lou Cheng's father sighed.
The older guys are not as brave as teenagers to fight, dare to fight, and attack without discretion. If they don't get a good status, they will gradually fade away. Of course, the premise is that they are not involved in some serious crimes and survive.
At that time.
When Lou Cheng was about to speak, Lou Cheng's father added: "Do you still remember the boy from the old Han family?"
"Remember, what happened to him?" Lou Cheng asked curiously.
This boy from the old Han family is considered a legend in the community. The senior of Wang Xu and others is talented and has high martial arts skills. It is said that he is close to the professional level. With a group of young workers in the factory, he relies on being ruthless and hardworking.
, managed to carve out a niche in the Xiushan underworld circle, but a few years ago, three people were killed in a fight over a mine. Things got really bad, and too many people were offended, so he had to run away without knowing where he was going.
Lou Cheng's father sighed and said: "He hid for a few years, thinking that the limelight was over. He lurked back in November, but was blocked on the national highway. In the words of the police, he resisted and was shot dead on the spot.
.”
Shot dead on the spot... Lou Cheng took a breath.
When he heard Cai Zongming talk about the kidnapping case, he didn't feel much when he mentioned that the gangster was shot to death randomly, but it was different now. This was a person he knew, who lived in the next building, and was shot dead on the spot?
"Huh, I hope Wang Xu won't end up like this..." He could only wish like this.
Lou Cheng's father did not continue this depressing topic. He turned on the TV and talked about Lou Cheng's life in school while watching it. He waited until Lou Cheng's mother came back from shopping for groceries, then took a sip of strong tea and went into the kitchen to help with the washing.
Vegetables, meat, etc.
Not long after, Lou Cheng smelled a strange aroma that seemed to penetrate into his bones. It was the aroma of stir-fried eel, which was his favorite dish. He swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva unconsciously, feeling that it was just the smell of fried eel.
The taste is enough to make a bowl of rice.
The human stomach has been trained since childhood. No matter how delicious the food is outside, it will not be as good as home-cooked food if you eat too much. Of course, there are conditions for this. The mother or father at home are good at cooking, and they are not just fooled.
When it was time to eat, he was in a hurry. Lou Cheng's mother was very pleased to see her, feeling that her craftsmanship had been affirmed. She happily talked about family issues, why she went to her grandfather's house for the New Year this time, how much new year's money should be given to her juniors, and why her cousin failed to open a restaurant.
, back to work at my old place again...
Lou Cheng's father was drinking the original wine next to him, and only occasionally added a word or two.
The warm atmosphere echoed, and Lou Cheng felt extremely satisfied after eating, from his stomach to his soul.
Let’s talk about learning martial arts and competing on your own later when you give gifts!
In the afternoon, he chatted with his mother for a while, made an appointment with Cheng Qili, and went out to buy gifts.
…………
"Chengzi, I want to confess my love to Laoban at this party."
As soon as they met in the water bar, Cheng Qili dropped a bombshell that almost made Lou Cheng unable to recover.
"When did you fall in love with Qiu Hailin? I've never heard you mention it before?" Lou Cheng asked in shock.
