Chapter 15 The Bedridden Employer

The lights were shining brightly, the table was filled with plain but very warm home-cooked dishes, and there was a person to accompany him to eat, Lu Jinchu felt quite satisfied.

The red wine glowed seductively in the beautiful goblet, and faintly smelled a faint aroma of wine. Gu Lixia looked at the wine in front of him, wondering for a while, home-cooked food with red wine?What kind of weird match is this, Gu Lixia looked at the contented person on the opposite side and found it incredible.

Lu Jinchu took a bite of tomato scrambled eggs, a little unexpectedly, and said with a smile, "I think you did a good job."

Gu Lixia breathed a sigh of relief. He had tasted it himself and thought it was okay, but he didn't know whether to eat it according to Lu Jinchu's taste. Fortunately, it seemed that Lu Jinchu was quite satisfied.

There are very home-cooked dishes on the table, tomato scrambled eggs, shredded pork with green peppers, fried pork with oyster mushrooms, mixed stir-fried vegetables with broccoli and various vegetables, and a seaweed egg drop soup. It is a very hearty dish, and it looks good. Appetite.

Lu Jinchu tasted it one by one, and felt very satisfied. Although the taste is bland compared to the takeaway, it is really ordinary, but there is a special sense of joy in her heart. Lu Jinchu feels an indescribable sense of comfort and satisfaction. feel.

"I think it's a surprise that I found you." Lu Jinchu said with narrowed eyes.

Gu Lixia was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything. The two chatted while eating, and it was Lu Jinchu who was asking more questions. Gu Lixia responded from time to time. It's really strange.

It is true that he is a warm-hearted and good person, but he seems a little frivolous and foolish, and a little inexplicably childish, but it is inexplicable that such a person who can be arrogant and arrogant will help himself because of guilt. It's... strange to hire yourself.

"Gu Lixia? Lixia!"

"Ah?" Gu Lixia was startled by Lu Jinchu's suddenly raised voice.

Lu Jinchu glanced sideways, pretending to be serious, "Student Gu Lixia, you seem to be distracted?"

Gu Lixia lowered his head and ate the food, "No, just thinking about something."

Lu Jinchu chuckled: "Huh? Student Gu Lixia, I thought you were thinking about major events in life."

Gu Lixia didn't speak, the taciturn personality he had developed over the years made him habitually choose to remain silent.

After a while, Lu Jinchu said hesitantly: "I have a question, if you find it inconvenient to answer, you can answer differently, that is, um, are you still in school? But why don't you go to school? Lu Jinchu thought for a while and added, "Is it because of economic problems? If so, I..."

Gu Lixia got up suddenly, Lu Jinchu was stunned for a moment, glanced at Gu Lixia, but couldn't say the rest.

"The meal is finished, I'll go clean up." Gu Lixia said something, and then went to the kitchen with his own empty bowl, leaving Lu Jinchu alone at the dining table, a little at a loss.

Gu Lixia packed up the dishes, walked out after cleaning the kitchen, watched Lu Jinchu playing with his mobile phone on the sofa, thought for a while, went over and said: "I packed it up, let's go."

Lu Jinchu said: "It's very late today, I'll take you back." He wanted to get up and change his clothes.

"No, I can go back by bus," Gu Lixia said, "There is a bus stop opposite, and the latest bus is at [-]:[-], so I can still catch up if I go now."

Lu Jinchu saw that Gu Lixia was determined not to let him give it away, so he had to give up, "Then be careful yourself, and call me if you have anything to do."

When Gu Lixia came out of Lu Jinchu's house, he breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, the latest bus was at 10:[-], and he couldn't catch up now. He guessed that people like Lu Jinchu would never take the bus, so He doesn't know what time the latest bus is at all. Sure enough, Lu Jinchu doesn't know. In fact, Lu Jinchu doesn't even know that there is a bus stop opposite his house. Of course, he doesn't know that there is an overpass across the street. It takes at least [-] minutes to walk from the community to the platform.

Gu Lixia knew that he couldn't catch the bus. There were five or six bus stops from Lu Jinchu's place to his place of residence, and it would take nearly an hour to walk, but he didn't want Lu Jinchu to send him off, so he subconsciously resisted. close to where you live.

It's not because of self-esteem, nor because it would make him feel ashamed of seeing his humble predicament, Gu Lixia just simply doesn't want to, like a cub dividing a safe zone, and doesn't want anything to come close.

Gu Lixia shrank his neck, walked quickly with his hands in his pockets, there were neon lights flashing on the side of the street, it was freezing cold, there were very few pedestrians, and a tall and thin figure was submerged in the night of the city.

In the deep winter night, the cold wind whizzed by, as if my heart was covered with withered grass, desolate and lonely.

Lu Jinchu came out of the shower, took an ipad and leaned on the bed to watch the news, while watching, he suddenly remembered Gu Lixia, at that time he asked Gu Lixia why he didn't go to school, if he had any difficulties, he could help, but looked up But seeing the obvious resistance on Gu Lixia's face, Lu Jinchu's heart was shocked.

It was a detached and indifferent expression, which shouldn't appear on a child of Gu Lixia's age, as if wrapping himself up, clearly rejecting people outside the isolation, indifferent and gloomy It's a little creepy.

Lu Jinchu's heart still trembles when he thinks back, what happened at such a young age?Lu Jinchu didn't know, but vaguely felt that it should be a very cruel thing.

Lu Jinchu couldn't help sighing in a low voice, being a human being is actually not easy for everyone.

When Gu Lixia returned to the construction site room, it was rare to see that everyone in the room was smoking. It was almost eleven o'clock, but they were still smoking with a sad face.

Gu Lixia frowned. He had a hunch that he was in trouble. Then he was told that Dezi and the others were in a hurry. They found the little boss and threatened him in the dark. They originally planned to beat him up symbolically and then threatened him. , Let the wages be settled early and go home.

The little boss was so cowardly at the time that he said yes, so he asked him to ask for money in the afternoon. When Dezi and the others went there in the afternoon, they didn't expect to be framed by the little boss. Throwing it on the street, it was still the ambulance called by the passing pedestrians, and now the person is still in the hospital.

The contractor was very angry at the time and planned to talk to the small boss, but he couldn't find him alive or dead, so he planned to call the police, but Dezi and the other two brothers were both unconscious, and there was no witness or other proof. It's useless. The last time the contractor reported to the police that the small boss's wage arrears was finally settled. They had no power to restrain the chicken, and the government and businessmen colluded with each other. It was a helpless but cruel reality.

The contractor, Brother Wang, paid for the treatment and hospitalization of the three of them himself. Everyone felt aggrieved, and Brother Wang also felt aggrieved. He smoked the hardest. , people in the village and neighbors also know that they trust him, and there are many people who follow him to work. They have indeed gotten some good jobs in the past few years, but they have never accepted such a mess. Yes, everyone feels bad.

This time when Tokuko and the others were beaten, everyone was simmering with anger. The little boss bullied people too much.

Brother Zhang said hesitantly: "Is it really useless to find the police? Everyone is beaten up like this?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt even more depressed. What's the use of calling the police?It's not that I haven't searched for it, and this time I can't find any evidence, so I can only treat it as being bitten by a vicious dog.

After a while, Brother Wang took a deep puff of the cigarette, and then extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, "Let's find a lawyer, this matter can't be left alone, this person has really passed this time, and he can't keep silent Suffer."

Everyone was silent for a while. Although everyone is from the village, they still have a basic awareness. Finding a lawyer may cost a lot of money. Who will pay for it?

Brother Wang said: "I didn't find the right person this time, and I feel bad when this happened. Everyone, go to bed early, and I will take care of it."

After finishing speaking, Brother Wang put on a coat and went out. Gu Lixia looked outside, it was already dark, it was already 11:30, Gu Lixia knew that Brother Wang had often ventured outside these few years, and he had seen a lot of things in the world. , There must be some people who are in contact with each other. Since Brother Wang said to solve it by himself, there must be a solution, but Gu Lixia is still worried, and feels faintly uneasy in his heart.

Before Gu Lixia lay on the bed and fell asleep, he suddenly thought of Lu Jinchu inexplicably. He knew that his cooking skills were not very good, but Lu Jinchu actually ate almost all of them for the sake of saving face, and he seemed quite satisfied. Gu Lixia felt that It's unbelievable.

Maybe this person eats too much delicacies from mountains and seas, and wants to pursue a different experience. I guess he will get tired of it after the novelty, but what does it matter? Anyway, I have only been here for less than a month at most. At that time, Lu Jinchu's salary was high enough, and he was not at a loss no matter what he said. As for the friendship Lu Jinchu mentioned, although Gu Lixia said yes verbally, he never felt in his heart that he would Become friends with such people.

Tsk, it seems that I've been thinking about this person a lot lately, Gu Lixia turned over, got rid of that person in his mind, and fell asleep peacefully.

The heavy snow was blowing one after another, quietly covering the city with a layer of crystal white, holy and beautiful.

Gu Lixia wakes up very early in the morning, and will not be lazy even if he has no work. He has always maintained the good habit of getting up early. He used to get up early to save money and study, but now he wakes up early to buy breakfast for his employer.

Gu Lixia got up early yesterday to check out the places near Lu Jinchu's house, and learned about the breakfast shops scattered around, as well as various special snacks hidden in the corners, and the location of the vegetable market. Since he was going to cook, although Lu Jinchu Chu Chu gave him enough money to go to the nearby supermarket to buy vegetables, but Gu Lixia didn't waste money like this. Compared with the supermarket, he prefers to go to the vegetable market and bargain with small vendors to buy vegetables, just like talking to grandma Like going grocery shopping together, it made him feel at ease.

When Gu Lixia rang the doorbell with breakfast in hand, he hesitated for a few seconds because Lu Jinchu gave him the key, but Gu Lixia still chose to knock on the door.

After a while Lu Jinchu opened the door, opened the door and saw that it was Gu Lixia, and glared at Gu Lixia dissatisfied, "Don't you have the key?" Sleepy-eyed, yawning, the nightgown was not fastened, loose The big smooth chest was exposed, the fluffy hair was raised up, like a child, and the mouth was angry.

Gu Lixia was taken aback for a moment, then said after a while: "I thought you got up."

Lu Jinchu said very confidently: "I've never seen anyone stay in bed! You disturb my sweet dreams! Don't you hate me!" After speaking, she went to the bathroom angrily.

Looking at Lu Jinchu's back, Gu Lixia suddenly felt like laughing, why is this person so childish, I have never seen someone who grows up so big and sleeps on the bed so confidently.
