Mr Gingerbread

Mrs. Lu was picking vegetables outside and was preparing to cook. Not long after she came back from washing the rice, she heard the father and son arguing in the study. She was so frightened that she put down her things and went to have a look.

Mr. Lu slapped the table and scolded Lu Ming loudly. His face was almost the same color as the clothes on his body. He scolded: "It's just nonsense, who allows you to do such a thing? Have you ever thought about your future development? "

Lu Ming also has a temper that is soft rather than hard. Hearing what he said, he said: "Thought about it, feelings. Both careers and harvests."

Old Lu was so angry that he took a walking stick and smacked his calf, and Lu Ming immediately hissed.His legs hurt a little, but he still stood there with his back straightened, and looked at his father with unyielding eyes, obviously he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.

When Mrs. Lu came in, the father and son in the study had already quarreled and turned cold faces on each other.

The old lady didn't know why, she looked at her husband and then at her son, and asked cautiously, "What happened, what happened?"

Elder Lu said with a cold face: "You don't care about this matter."

The old lady Lu was also very angry. She felt sorry for her youngest son, so she turned her head and got angry at the old man: "This is my son, why don't you let me take care of it!"

Mr. Lu said he couldn't stand his wife, so he got angry at his son again: "Go out and kneel for me."

Lu Ming walked out without saying a word, and was stopped by the old lady Lu by her arm at the door of the study. The old lady was so distressed that she looked at the two white marks on his trousers from the walking stick and asked him: "What the hell is going on? What's the matter? Mingming, tell mom, what's the fight between you and your dad..."

Mr. Lu poked the ground with his walking stick vigorously from behind, and said angrily, "You unfilial son, tell your mother about it!"

Lu Ming looked at her, and said the beginning again. He said, "Mom, I have a friend. His name is Han Qiaoyu."

Mr. Lu always listened to everything, and now he was no longer surprised by the name "Han Qiaoyu" at all, and he "hummed" as soon as he heard it, feeling very dissatisfied.

After Lu Ming finished talking in a flat voice, he looked up at Mrs. Lu, stubborn and obedient.He was very stubborn about this matter, even if his leg was broken, he would go to find Han Qiaoyu, but he also showed infinite obedience to the family who had raised him for many years, no matter how old Lu beat him, he would not resist.

So many contradictions were superimposed and condensed into Lu Ming's eyes, which turned into those black and silent eyes. He looked at the old lady Lu with these eyes, and the old lady felt very distressed when she saw it.

The old lady Lu had a much better mentality than her wife, she held Lu Ming's hand and said, "That's it?"

Lu Ming nodded and said, "Yes."

The old lady Lu said: "I see. In that case, you go out first. If there is fruit outside, you can eat a couple of bites first. We will have dinner together later."

Old Lu's eyes widened. Seeing his wife feeling betrayed, he said angrily and sadly, "What are you eating? Let him kneel outside for me!"

Once he got angry, the old lady couldn't stop her, so she said, "Then I'll go and see him."

Mr. Lu sat angrily in the study, ignoring her at all.

The old lady Lu followed Lu Ming out. She saw that Lu Ming was really standing at the gate, and she grabbed him up just as she was about to move, and said angrily, "Are you stupid? Your dad can't see him inside. Really kneeling!"

How could the old lady Lu want her son to suffer this grievance? Lu Ming had the best face, and couldn't bear it at all, so she went to the yard and got a small bench she had picked vegetables just now, put the bench there, and said: "You Sit here."

Lu Ming lowered his eyes and said, "But my dad said..."

The old lady Lu was even more angry than him, and said angrily: "Idiots only listen to him kneeling outside! How embarrassing."

Lu Ming looked at her and wanted to say something, but it was difficult for him to say something. After a long time, he called out "Mom". The old lady Lu touched his face and smiled first: "Hey, Mom is here, you are honest Sit here for a while, and your dad will calm down in the evening. He has a bad temper, and he doesn't recognize his relatives for a while. You also give him a little time to adapt, and he will be fine..."

Lu Ming rubbed his cheek against her palm, and hummed.

Mrs. Lu.After setting up his son, he went back to the study and found his wife to scold him.

"You old man, did your son get into any trouble when he grew up so big? The son of Dr. Guo's family next door lost his family by playing with cars. The house is now rented. The son of the old Wang's family opposite is not working yet and is living at home. What's wrong with my son, just beat him!" The old lady changed her usual amiability, her fingers almost poked the tip of Lu Lao's nose, and her eyes were red with anger. "When you usually go out, everyone you see will say that my son is a professor of the Academy of Fine Arts. Oh, now that people are here to ask for your opinion, you still do it. Are you justified?"

Mr. Lu was poked by her for a few times, and sat uncomfortably on the chair, dodging there: "That little bastard is not trying to ask for my opinion, just like coming to announce, he is still 'he's the only one in this life', You said that you are not angry! Besides, I didn’t fight much, so I will teach him a lesson..."

The old lady Lu said angrily: "He is over 20, and you still beat him!"

Mr. Lu was also angry, and shouted with his neck stuck: "Then I'm still over 70, and he's still angry with me!!"

The old lady Lu slapped the table and said solemnly: "Lu Jincheng, I will tell you today, if you dare to touch my Mingming finger again, I will take my son and move out. You are alone in this house Just wait! Anyway, I don't want anything, I want my son!"

Mr. Lu softened down and tried to reason: "Then, that's my son too. Besides, he's looking for a man, I can't say it anymore?"

The old lady Lu said dissatisfied: "It's not like we haven't met before, what's wrong with liking a guy?"

Mr. Lu was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "I know how difficult their road is only after I have seen it. I let Lu Ming go out and be punished, just to let him try the kind of thing that is done under people's noses. The feeling of contempt."

The old lady Lu's attitude also softened, and she asked him, "It's not that you don't want to help, so why are you making things difficult for this child?"

Mr. Lu said: "Just let him experience the eyes of other people looking at him as soon as possible! When we get old, no one will help him. The two of them will have a much harder life than this. If he can't even bear this, in the future What should I do?"

The old lady Lu said: "How do you know that people can't stand it?"

Lu Laodao: "Then if you say that, Lu Ming and the others don't have children. Even if they have children, they didn't come out of Lu Ming's belly. There is a layer of separation between the two of them."

The old lady Lu was not convinced: "How do you know that people can't give birth to Lu Ming? Now that technology is so advanced..."

Elder Lu said disdainfully: "I don't know him yet, and let others live. Like Xiaobao, he can only see one face."

The old lady was very angry, and said: "Hey, if you talk about Mingming, just talk about him, what are you doing with Xiaobao!"

Lu Laodao: "Isn't this right on your tongue?"

The old lady Lu said: "Leave a word for me when you have something to say."

The two quarreled for a few words, and then Mr. Lu habitually began to lie low and apologize to his wife.The old lady ignored her, turned around and went to the kitchen by herself. Mr. Lu coaxed him for two steps, then touched the tip of his nose and said, "Then you do your work first. I'll go out and see Lu Ming." He turned to leave, Mr. Lu The wife raised her voice and said, "Hey, come back, come and help me in the kitchen."

Mr. Lu immediately agreed, and was very happy to move a small Maza and sit in the kitchen, choosing vegetables and chopping garlic, and worked hard for more than an hour.

Lu Ming was sitting outside basking in the sun, leaning against the wall on a small wooden bench for over an hour.

The sun was warm in the afternoon in the northern winter, and Mrs. Lu found a place leeward of the wind. Lu Ming didn't feel guilty sitting there, and thought about it quietly for a while.After he told about the matter with Han Qiaoyu, he felt more at ease.

A young man was passing by on a bicycle, and he braked suddenly within two steps. He stopped on the road and turned to look at him, with a strange expression on his face, "Uncle, what are you doing here?" He is about the same age as Lu Ming, but Lu Ming is of seniority, so he still yelled in a very mannered way.

Lu Ming glanced at him and said lazily, "Bask in the sun."

The other party was a little confused: "Huh?"

Lu Ming said: "Show more in the sun and replenish calcium."

The other party's eyes were full of awe, his uncle is really knowledgeable, he deserves to be a university teacher!

Lu Ming stayed in the sun for four hours in a row, and it was getting dark before he re-entered the house.

After he went in, he went to the study room first. Mr. Lu had already changed into normal clothes, sat there with a sullen face and said, "Have you figured it out?"

Lu Ming said, "I figured it out."

Lu Lao asked him: "What are you going to do?"

Lu Ming said: "I'll improve myself first, so that I can avoid setbacks when encountering wind and rain in the future."

Mr. Lu snorted and said, "Then you are saying that I am torturing you?"

Lu Ming stood there and said, "Don't dare."

Mr. Lu poked the ground with his crutches, and said calmly, "It's good for you to have such an idea. Now that you suffer a little bit, you will know how to hurt others in the future. In the future, you can protect the other party when you encounter something, and think about it more for others."

Lu Ming obviously didn't expect his father to say that. It sounds like...supporting him?

Before Lu Ming turned around, Elder Lu said again: "I asked you to kneel outside today because of me. If you meet someone else in the future, don't give in to softness with a single finger! Remember, I will punish you this time, none of those people outside are qualified to punish you, let them say whatever you want, you should live it upright for yourself and your family, lest they get a kick!"

The corners of Lu Ming's mouth twitched, he wanted to laugh, but he held back, his eyes sparkled.

Elder Lu took two steps with his crutches, and said to him, "You are a man, you must know how to love your family and how to protect your family, you know? You stand upright, your spine is straight, no matter what you do, you should kneel." Be more confident, do you hear me?"

Lu Ming agreed, and tentatively said, "Dad, should I let Han..."

Mr. Lu interrupted him and said, "Do you think you are capable now?"

Lu Ming closed his voice.

Mr. Lu sneered, looked at him up and down, and said: "Your little talent is not enough to show it out, when you have the ability to do exhibitions, then bring people to us for a look. Don't take it secretly to show your mother, it's useless, I don't look at him, I just look at you, get married and start a business, since you are so willing to pick a partner with others, it's the other way around, first establish a career, then Start a family!"

Lu Ming also had a bit of arrogance in his bones. Hearing what Mr. Lu said, he promised, "I promise you, I will do it."

After all, the old man still felt sorry for his youngest son, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go, I'm upset seeing you, go back and rest."

Lu Ming left.

Mrs. Lu was waiting for him at the door of the study, and as soon as she saw him coming out, she immediately whispered: "The kitchen is boiling ginger syrup, and there is a portion of food in the pot for you, go and eat."

Lu Ming bent down and hugged her, and acted like a baby: "Thank you, Mom."

Mrs. Lu patted him on the shoulder and let him go. She opened the door and went into the study. Seeing Mrs. Lu holding a book and lowering her head as if reading, she opened her mouth to expose him and said, "You took the wrong book. , that’s my style book for sweaters.”

Only then did Mr. Lu realize that he threw the book aside casually.

Mrs. Lu also poured him a cup of hot tea when she came in, and said slowly, "What are you trying to do? You hurt him and punish him, I just can't figure it out."

After drinking the tea, Mr. Lu calmed down, "I don't know how long the brat has lied to me, but just thinking about it makes me angry."

Seeing that he had calmed down, the old lady still felt sorry for her son, and went out to look for Lu Ming after she got angry.

Lu Ming was eating in the kitchen. When he saw her coming in, he smiled and said, "Mom."

While filling him with soup, the old lady said: "Your father is also, this winter has kept you outside for so long, is it freezing?"

Holding the bowl, Lu Ming stood there looking at her and said, "Mom, don't you blame me?"

The old lady said: "What am I blaming you for? Are you doing well if you don't do this? Since I was a child, I didn't bother me. I studied and painted, and I was admitted to a famous university by myself. Now I stay in the Academy of Fine Arts as a teacher. How wonderful it is to contribute to the country and explain to yourself. You know how to live, what am I blaming you for?"

Lu Ming put down the bowl and chopsticks, put his arms around the old lady's waist and said, "You know that's not what I'm talking about."

The old lady patted the back of his hand and said: "No one can control your emotional affairs, you remember this sentence. When we were liberated, we still said that everyone is equal and free. How come you are not free anymore?"

Lu Ming said: "I'm not afraid, I'm just worried about you and my dad."

The old lady said: "What are you worried about? Are you afraid that the two of us will be accused by others? What is there to say about it? If a person lives a good life, he knows in his heart that if he lives for decades, he will do the right thing? "She laughed, holding her son's grown-up palm and said: "There is a first time for everything, and it is also the first time for me to be a parent for someone else. If you don't do well, you should take care of it."

Lu Ming's nose was a little sore, he hugged her and said, "Okay."
