Aunt Xue is very busy [Love is deep and rainy]

It is the rainy season in Shanghai.

The day before St. John's started school, the whole of Shanghai was covered by pouring rain.

There is still some time before the arrival of summer, and the air is filled with the damp and cold atmosphere unique to Shanghai's spring.

In the bungalow of the Lu family, there is no feeling of coolness at all at this moment.

The floor has been replaced with a new wool carpet bought a few days ago, and the furniture has been wiped clean.

Wang Xueqin, who has been taking good care of her for a month, is also dressed neatly today, with her make-up on, and came to the first floor to join everyone and celebrate the children who are about to enter school.

Tomorrow is the day when Ruping officially enters St. John's. The patriotic girls' high school that Mengping will attend will also start school in three days. As for Xiao Erjie, he is still a primary school student, and he still has a wonderful holiday of half a month.

But in any case, after all, several children are going to start school one after another, and recently, because of Wang Xueqin's health, the Lu family has not been so happy and lively for some days, so Wang Xueqin simply let Zhang Ma After cooking more dishes, Erhao ordered a cake from Guanshengyuan in advance, and then directed several children to decorate the banquet hall with Alan.

A small family gathering officially kicked off.

Since it is to celebrate the start of school for several children, gifts are naturally indispensable.

Mr. Lu is also in a good mood this day. What he likes to see most now is the family and He Lele, so he specially sealed big red envelopes for several children, and even Er Hao, who has already grown up, got a portion Not light red seal.

In this regard, Lu Erhao did not shirk it, but smiled and said that he really deserved the red envelope, and it stands to reason that he should pay the money home.

He is also in a good mood today, mainly because his mother seems to be in a good mood, so he doesn't want to put a stern face on the atmosphere, so after receiving the red envelope, he will give Mr. Lu a little compliment, but it's a good idea. The old man was in a good mood.

Er Jie was still young, so after Wang Xueqin took out a five-yuan bill and stuffed it for him to buy snacks, he helped the child put away the rest of the money first.

She took a quick look just now and saw that there was about 50 yuan in Erjie's red envelope. It's not a good thing to put so much money in the hands of such a young child.

So after explaining clearly to Erjie that his mother just kept it for him first, Wang Xueqin helped him collect the rest of the money first.

Fortunately, in the past month, Lu Erjie has deeply realized that his mother really won't spoil him as much as before.

For example, in the past, if he wanted something and everyone didn't give it to him, as long as he kept crying, he would always achieve his goal in the end.

But since his mother got sick, no matter how much he cried or even rolled all over the floor, his mother almost never promised to buy him anything, and even sometimes, he would directly ask Brother Erhao to throw him out of the room.

For this, Lu Erjie has been crying with Lu Ruping for a month.

It's just that sister Ruping told him that adults like obedient and polite children. If he learns to be more sensible and doesn't always trouble his mother, maybe his mother will treat him the best as before.

Although he later found out that after he stopped crying and losing his temper, his mother was indeed a lot more pleasant to him, but the situation of giving him what he asked for like before never happened again.

Lu Erjie no longer wanted to experience the feeling of being about to be abandoned by his mother, so he became more and more obedient these days.

Satisfied to see that Lu Erjie did not show any dissatisfaction, Wang Xueqin rubbed his hair with a smile, intending to reward the child for his progress during this period.

What she gave to Lu Erjie was a brand new basketball.

Boys, you need to exercise more to grow taller in the future.

Compared with those toys such as cars and dolls, Wang Xueqin decided that it would be better for Erjie to play more basketball, football and other team sports that would stimulate the wildness in men.

Firstly, it can serve the purpose of exercising, and secondly, team competition needs everyone's tacit cooperation the most, so it can well temper Mo Erjie's temperament like a bully.

Of course, the kid is still young, so he may not even be able to understand the ball, but in the end, it would be good if he could cultivate his interest in this kind of sports.

Wang Xueqin's gift to Ruping was a simple and exquisite silver cross necklace.

Ruping has been attending missionary schools since middle school and has always believed in Catholicism.

Although Wang Xueqin never believed in these things, she respected those who believed in them very much.

Of course, the reason why she gave Ruping the cross was not just because of this.

It's really because she remembers too clearly the details of He Shuhuan giving her a cross necklace on Ruping's birthday in the TV series.

Wang Xueqin forgot who it was, and said this sentence——

When a man gives a woman necklaces, bracelets, anklets and rings, his real intention is to use them to trap that woman.

Although I don't know if this sentence can really represent the aspirations of the majority of men, but after all, these are personal and private items, and it is not appropriate to give them to friends of the opposite sex after all.

What's more, He Shuhuan always claimed that he never had any ambiguous feelings for Ruping, but at the same time admitted that if he hadn't met Lu Yiping, then he would definitely be with Ruping.

Wang Xueqin really looked down on this kind of man who couldn't fit in the pot after eating from the bowl.

So he decided to take the lead and hang such a cross around Ruping's neck to ward off evil spirits, hoping to make her avoid He Shuhuan's sentimental rotten peach blossom.

When Lu Ruping opened the gift box and saw the exquisite cross necklace, she fell in love with it very much.

Immediately asked Wang Xueqin to help her wear it around her neck, and the smile on her face never broke throughout the day.

She didn't know why she was so happy. Obviously, her mother often bought her new clothes and shoes before, but never once did she feel that she was really missed by her mother like this cross necklace this time. Pass.

Maybe it's because the gift from my mother is too thoughtful this time?Lu Ruping thought so.

Seeing that both Ruping and Erjie received gifts from their mother, Mengping, who has been very clingy to Wang Xueqin recently, quit.

"Mom, how can you be so biased?" Lu Mengping insisted on pouting beside Wang Xueqin.

It's just that the tone was full of coquettishness, and there was no discomfort in his eyes, but full of bright anticipation.

In the past month, she has spent more time with her mother than in the previous 15 years combined, and naturally knows more about her mother, so it is naturally clear that on days like today, her mother will definitely not be alone. A gift for her alone.

As for Wang Xueqin, she did not disappoint her.

What Wang Xueqin gave to Lu Mengping was a book called "Piano Basics".

The explanations in this book are very detailed and easy to understand, which is very suitable for people who have no piano foundation to learn.

Although this book does not look as exquisite and beautiful as Ruping's necklace, nor is it ready to be played at any time like Erjie's basketball, but it has sent Lu Mengping an obvious signal-on the road of learning piano. , Wang Xueqin has a supportive attitude towards her.

Otherwise, she would not have given herself such a book.

Realizing this, Lu Mengping couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear. She held the book in one hand and Wang Xueqin's arm in the other, and she simply swayed and refused to let go.

Wang Xueqin looked at the expressions of these children with satisfaction, especially Mengping and Erjie, who had changed a lot in this month. This made her more confident in the future.

The atmosphere of the family reunion at the Lu family is in full swing. The mother and daughter Lu Yiping's house is located at the other end of Shanghai, and the mother and daughter are also saying goodbye in detail.

This day is the opening day of the Teachers College where Lu Yiping will be studying.

Fu Wenpei prepared new clothes, new shoes and a new schoolbag for her daughter Yiping as early as a week ago.

The clothes are brand-new cheongsams made of pure cotton, the shoes are made of pure cowhide, and the schoolbag was sewn by Fu Wenpei from scraps of cloth in two days.

"Yiping, when you arrive at school, you must get along well with your classmates." Fu Wenpei couldn't help admonishing as he handed Yiping the new umbrella he just took out.

"Mom, I know." Although the Teachers College was not Lu Yiping's first choice, since she has decided to go there, she will naturally stop complaining about herself, so she is in a good mood about the matter of going to the Teachers College today. not bad.

"Pay attention to safety on the road. It's raining heavily today, so watch your way." Fu Wenpei said again.

"Mom, don't worry, I will take care of myself."

"Yiping, when you come back, don't forget to bring your umbrella back. This umbrella costs a few cents. When you came back from there last time, although you brought a new one, the old one It can barely be used after taking it back, so don't waste it like that next time." Seeing Lu Yiping opened her umbrella and was about to go out, Fu Wenpei couldn't help but babbled a few more words.

"Oh, okay, Mom, I understand, I will never forget the umbrella again, so don't miss me anymore." For this dependent mother, Lu Yiping has always been patient and tolerant, so even Fu Wenpei Her words made her feel a little uncomfortable, but there was still a bright smile on her face.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk, you go, don't be late."

Hearing this, Lu Yiping glanced at the watch on her wrist, and then hurriedly picked up her schoolbag and umbrella, "Mom, I won't tell you, I'll be late if I don't. Today is the first day of school, I don't care You can't make a fool of yourself."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly bid farewell to Fu Wenpei, and rushed into the rain with an umbrella in hand.

There are many families living in this alley.

Most of the men work outside to earn money, while the women take care of the elderly and children at home.

When this person is idle, he always wants to find something to do.

And these women whose life revolves around men and children all day long, what they are most passionate about every day is to gossip about their parents, and compare each other who lives better than others by the way.

Lu Yiping never paid attention to what these women were saying before.

Although she and her mother had to move here and there to settle down after being kicked out of Lu's house by her father, in her mind, even though she and her mother lived in the humblest house and wore coarse clothes, they still lived in the same place. Most people here are different.

They are like dusty pearls, and they have to live in one place with these ordinary people like gravel.

But even if they are poor, they still can't get rid of the nobility in their bones.

Lu Yiping has always believed so firmly.

That's why after hearing those slandering words from someone's house under the eaves of someone's house through the sound of the ticking rain, she barely realized for a moment that what they were talking about was actually her own mother.

Those words are like this -

"Look at the proud look of that woman surnamed Fu recently, bah! I really think we don't know where her money comes from? I don't know what it means to act like a lady all day long. Who is it for?! After all, isn’t it for sale? Otherwise, is there any decent woman who lives in such a place with such a half-grown girl at this age?”

"Yeah...Actually, I always see strange men coming to their door from time to time. He looks like an unfamiliar face, like a rickshaw driver...I have seen it with my own eyes several times! It hasn't been long since that man entered the door Afterwards, Fu Wenpei packed up his things and followed that person away. It took a long time before he came back!"

"Pfft, tell me, what can they do?"

"What else can I do? An old woman who has been a widow all year round and can't meet a man, and an old man, what else can she do?!"

Lu Yiping could hardly hear the words that followed.

All that echoed in her ears were the presumptuous and ambiguous laughter of those women.

"Shut up all of you!!!!"

"Kangdang—!!"

When Lu Yiping came back to her senses, she realized that she had already thrown away the umbrella in her hand at some point.

And those women who used the most vicious language in the world to slander her mother were looking at her in surprise, and the scalding brazier under her feet that had been scattered all over the floor.
