Chapter 55 The Good Life

When Haixuan returned home, he fell asleep and fell asleep for more than 20 hours at a stretch. When he opened his eyes, he felt that he was finally alive again, but he was hungry, and he didn't know how long he had slept.He smelled a faint fragrance and sniffled, yes, it was fish porridge.He turned on the light, found a thermos bucket on the bedside table, opened it, and found that there was indeed a fragrant and tempting fish porridge inside, with a little residual heat left, and there was a note next to the thermos bucket: "Wake up!" Come get something to eat."

Hai Xuan looked at Yu Lu's words and couldn't help laughing, who told people to wake up by leaving a note?He got up and was about to brush his teeth and take a bath. He opened the curtains and saw the sunset glow in the sky.He remembered that he got home after dark yesterday and went to bed after eating. Did he sleep all day?Yu Lu didn't wake himself up either.

Haixuan came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and saw Yu Nanzheng opened the door and came in, holding an insulated lunch box in his hand: "Brother Hai, are you awake?"

He followed Yu Bing, squeezed Yu Nan and rushed into the house, and threw himself on Hai Xuan: "Uncle Ah Hai!"

Haixuan reached out to catch Yu Bing, and threw him into the air: "Ah Bing is heavy again."

Yu Bing giggled happily.

Haixuan threw him a few times and put him down: "No, I can't move anymore. Uncle is starving to death. Let's eat first."

Yu Nan put down the insulated lunch box he was carrying, and lifted the lid. The room was filled with the strong aroma of food, which made the stomachs of the hungry people feel more overwhelmed: "Buddha jumped over the wall?"

"Yes, Brother Hai, have you eaten the porridge that my brother brought at noon, and I brought you rice again, you can eat quickly."

Hai Xuan sniffled: "Your brother made Buddha jump over the wall?"

"Well, Brother Hong ordered a copy of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. My brother made a little more, saying that we have worked hard recently, and we need to replenish our bodies." Yu Nan washed the dishes and put them on the table.

Haixuan took the fish porridge from the bed and ate it together. He is so hungry that he could swallow a cow.Yu Bing smelled the smell of Buddha jumping over the wall, and couldn't help licking his mouth. Haixuan was in a good mood, and teased him: "I saw it, and my mouth is watering."

Yu Bing quickly wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand: "I don't, I'm not hungry, I'm full!"

Haixuan used a bowl to fill half a bowl of Buddha Jumping Wall for him: "Just admit it, uncle will give you some."

Yu Bing hurried over: "Thank you uncle!"

Yu Nan said, "You ate two bowls just now, and you still eat, glutton!"

Yu Bing made a face at Yu Nan: "You are also a glutton!"

Haixuan chatted with them while drinking porridge: "Has Anan's score come out?"

"Not yet, there is still about a week." Yu Nan said.

"Any plans for the holiday?"

Yu Nan said, "No, I'm going to help out in the store, and I can learn how to cook by the way."

Haixuan said: "You're already full, go get your driver's license test first. If you like cooking, you can learn it. If you don't like it, don't force it. You can also go out for a trip or something to gain more knowledge."

Yu Nan quickly waved his hand: "I don't want to travel, I'd better go to the shop to help out, I also like to cook." Brothers work so hard to make money, it's really wrong to go out with their hard-earned money.

Hai Xuan said, "Then let's get a driver's license, it's useful."

"it is good."

After dinner, Haixuan went to the store. Seven o'clock was the busiest time in the store.The kitchen was full of heat, and Yu Lu was cooking vegetables on the fire. His vest was so hot that his face was covered with sweat. Zhang Yiwei wiped his sweat with a towel from time to time.Haixuan hurriedly changed his clothes, and walked quietly to the side of Yu Lu: "You take a break, I'll come. Give me the menu, what's the next dish?"

Yu Lu was concentrating on cooking, but he didn't expect Ah Hai to come. Hearing his voice, he almost couldn't even hold the spoon firmly: "Why are you here?" The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"Well, I've had enough sleep and food, it's time to work." Haixuan quickly cleaned the pot and started the fire.

Yu Lu took out the dishes, took the towel from Zhang Yiwei, and wiped off his sweat: "It's too hot."

"You take a break, I'll do the rest." Ah Hai said.

Yu Lu turned off the fire and watched Ah Hai's movements. He hadn't watched Ah Hai cook for a long time. Since he became a teacher, he began to work side by side with him. Occasionally, he would ask for advice if he was not sure. Ah Hai, I seldom learn from him.Cooking is a matter of being led by the master, and the practice is up to the individual. To achieve the top level, in addition to hard work, it also depends on talent and creativity.

Seeing Haixuan's skillful movements, Yu Lu couldn't help but think of the lawyer's announcement of the will yesterday. Haijixian's total assets are more than [-] million yuan, and the annual net profit is nearly [-] million yuan.If Haixuan goes back to work, then he will have assets of more than [-] million yuan, a real billionaire.But he is willing to eat oil fume and be baked in the kitchen with him, and never complains. Seeing Haixuan like this, Yu Lu couldn't help liking him more. Such a down-to-earth and reliable man let him pick When I arrived, I really don't know what high incense was burned in my previous life.

Yu Lu was looking at Haixuan with joy when the cell phone in his pocket rang. Yu Lu took it out to see that it was Liu Haoyang calling, and he picked it up: "Mouse, have you come to our store?" Walking outside, the kitchen is filled with the sound of spatulas colliding, which is really noisy.

What Liu Haoyang said on the other end, Yu Lu didn't hear clearly: "Wait for me, it's too noisy here, I can't hear you clearly, I'll come out right away."

Yu Lu opened the door and went out, Liu Haoyang was near the kitchen door, his face was not very relaxed, Yu Lu said: "Mouse, are you coming to eat?"

Liu Haoyang shook his head: "No, I need to talk to you in your office."

"What's wrong? Have you eaten yet?" Yu Lu asked.

"Not yet, let's eat after we finish talking." Liu Haoyang urged Yu Lu to hurry into the office.

Liu Haoyang closed the door smoothly, and shut out the noise outside. He looked at Yu Lu, hesitant to speak, and Yu Lu said: "Tell me something, we have nothing to hide."

Liu Haoyang said: "Ah Lu, did your mother take away two younger sisters when she got married?"

Yu Lu looked at Liu Haoyang in surprise: "Yes, why did you suddenly ask this?"

Liu Haoyang said: "Today the police station received calls from two girls for help. The elder sister came with her younger sister, saying that she was abused by her stepfather and she was unwilling to go home, so she asked the police for help."

Yu Lu's heart twitched: "Is it my sister?"

Liu Haoyang looked at him: "The older one is Zhang Yuan, 17 years old, and the younger one is Zhang Dan, 13 years old. We contacted their families and met their mother Yang Huali. I went to your house for dinner before. I passed your mother, so I still have a little impression."

Yu Lu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he grabbed Liu Haoyang: "It's my mother and my sister. Where is my sister? Is she okay? What did that beast do to them?"

Liu Haoyang said: "Don't worry, it's not a big problem, it's a bit traumatic, the reason is that Zhang Yuan wanted to study, her stepfather didn't want to send her to school, and found her a husband's family to get engaged, Zhang Yuan didn't want to, so she was Her stepfather beat her up, and she took her younger sister to the police station. Now she is picked up by her grandmother."

Yu Lu clenched his fists and his teeth were ready to be crushed: "I'm [-] generations of his ancestors, how old is my sister? That crazy guy! And my mother, is she a dead person who abused my sister like this?" Thinking His younger sister almost became the next Luo Yufen, and he was furious.

Liu Haoyang patted him on the shoulder: "Don't get excited, your sister is not yet an adult, they are acting illegal and criminal, and they have been called to the police station to criticize and educate. Your sister is quite smart and knows to call the police."

Yu Lu rushed out: "I'll pick up my sister."

"Shall we go now?" Liu Haoyang looked at him, "Should I ask your mother's opinion first?"

Yu Lu said: "Ask her for a ball! If we don't bring them back, this problem will never be solved. That bastard won't beat them anymore? Will he force marriage?"

Liu Haoyang said: "Anyway, your mother is their guardian now, so you have to notify her first. Also, your family's situation is different now, you have to tell Ah Hai first and ask his opinion."

Yu Lu took a deep breath to calm himself down: "Yes, I'll go and talk to A Hai first." He hurried out, and when he reached the door, he remembered again, "You haven't eaten yet, I'll go to the kitchen to fry it for you." A dish, how about the sixties? Today's sixties are very fat and fresh."

Liu Haoyang said: "Go and do your work, I will order food myself."

"Then I'll make you a sixtieth birthday." Yu Lu said as he opened the door and went out.

After entering the kitchen, Haixuan was busy. Yu Lu walked over and said to him: "The mouse is here, I'll cook something for him. I have something to discuss with you later."

Hai Xuan glanced at him: "What?"

"Busy first, let's talk later." Yu Lu was busy, and slowly calmed down. Is it appropriate to pick up two younger sisters?The house is only so wide, so it's not impossible to make a room for them, but my sister is not too young, and it doesn't feel right to live with these men. Although they are their own sisters, Ah Hai is to them It's outsiders, especially their relationship with Ah Hai, they may not be able to accept it.Although they haven't come out with Anan yet, it is obvious that Anan already knows about their affairs and has not expressed any objection. Anan is an adult and he already has his own judgment. As for Ah Bing, the child is still too young. Hai regards Ah Hai as his own family, and slowly accepts Ah Hai from this perspective. When he grows up, he will not be too shocked to know their relationship.But the two younger sisters are already adolescent girls. I haven't seen them for so many years, and the relationship will inevitably grow. Is it appropriate to let them accept this suddenly?

But if they don't pick them up and let their mother continue to take care of them, no one can predict what their life will be like. Yu Lu couldn't help shivering when he thought of the evil deeds of those savage stepfathers on the Internet.In addition, there is another way, which is to give money to grandma to take care of them. I wonder if grandma will use that money to subsidize the uncles.Of course, these are his own thoughts, maybe the younger sisters are not necessarily willing to come back with him.

After Yu Lu finished frying his sixties, he cooked another portion of green vegetables, cut up a plate of stewed beef, and brought them outside together to Liu Haoyang.

Liu Haoyang looked at the sumptuous dinner on the tray and said, "What are you doing with so much, just fry a dish for me."

Yu Lu said: "It's so shabby to come to my place to eat. It would be nice if you said earlier that you would come. I would have stewed Buddha Jumping Wall today."

Liu Haoyang said with some embarrassment: "I ate that, and Zhong Yanhong gave it to me."

Yu Lu couldn't help laughing: "I forgot, he was the one who ordered Buddha to jump over the wall today, so I stewed it together."

Liu Haoyang said, "Did you tell Ah Hai?"

"He's busy, but I haven't told him yet. Thinking about it now, it might not be appropriate. They're all grown up, and we haven't seen each other for many years. Isn't it inconvenient to live with us guys?" Yu Lu said express their concerns.

"That's a problem."

"I think it's better to let them live with relatives on my mother's side, and I'll pay them living expenses and tuition fees," Yu Lu said.

Liu Haoyang shook his chopsticks: "Don't, they will definitely take you for a fool. When the money is spent, your sister may not be taken care of. The feeling of being dependent on others is the worst, especially adolescent children. Their minds are the most sensitive. You It's better to take them over and rent another house for them to live in, and usually take care of meals and other things in your shop."

Yu Lu thought about it, but still didn't think it was appropriate: "If you take them back, if you don't bring them home, they won't be thinking wildly? Forget it, I'll ask them for their own opinions later on."

Liu Haoyang said: "In a while, I will go with you after dinner. After so many years, they may not recognize you. It is more credible if I go."

"They don't remember me, my grandma can't mistake me." Yu Lu said.

"Anyway, I'll accompany you, they can always go with you at ease."

"Okay then, I'll trouble you. I'll go and talk to Ah Hai."

Liu Haoyang called Yu Lu again: "Wait, there is one more thing."

"What?" Yu Lu stopped.

Liu Haoyang said: "Ah Hai has recovered his memory now, he should use his original identity, so Yu Hai's identity must be canceled, otherwise it will be difficult to manage."

Yu Lu nodded: "I see, go tell Ah Hai."

Haixuan was finally busy with the rush hour, Yu Lu walked over, told the story of his sister, and then looked at Haixuan, feeling a little guilty in his heart, as if he was always causing trouble for Haixuan. "Sorry, I'm always troubling you."

"What's the trouble, your sister is my sister. Take them all back." Hai Xuan said very naturally.

"I'm afraid they don't know us well, and we won't get along very well," Yu Lu said.

Haixuan said: "The house is a bit small, let's buy a bigger house."

Yu Lu looked at him: "Where can I have the money to buy a big house?" Not long after I bought a house and a car, it was a bit of a dream to buy a big house again.

"I have." Haixuan said.

Yu Lu remembered what Liu Haoyang told himself: "By the way, the mouse told me that your Yu Hai's ID card will be cancelled."

Haixuan said, "Why cancel it?"

"The mouse said that one person cannot have two ID cards, which is not easy to manage." Yu Lu said, "Have you brought your original ID card?"

Haixuan said: "Can't you cancel Haixuan's ID card?"

"That would be too troublesome. If this is the case, you will need to change too much information." The real estate and even the shares in City G are all under his original identity. If the name is changed, there will be too much trouble.

Haixuan thought for a while and sighed: "Forget it. The current house shouldn't have my name written on it, and I have to change the information."

Yu Lu smiled and said, "Who knew it would happen?"

Haixuan said: "Go and see your sister first, and you may not be able to bring her back right away. It's always good to get acquainted with her first."

"it is good."

Yu Lu drove to his grandmother's house with Liu Haoyang. Grandma lived in a small fishing village by the sea, a little far away from the county town. Yu Lu hadn't been there for many years. He hadn't been there since his mother got married. Mothers don't want them anymore, so why would those relatives take care of them.

It's been too long since the last time I went there, and it was night, so I walked around the road a few times before I found my grandmother's house. Liu Haoyang said, "You can't even find your grandmother's house?"

Yu Lu sneered: "I haven't been here for many years."

"Your mother is really heartless." Liu Haoyang said.

Yu Lu shrugged: "I have grown up too, and I have brought up my younger brother too. It's a pity that that brat Alin didn't live up to it, otherwise I would really give them a good slap in the face."

"You can fight like this now." Liu Haoyang said.

Yu Lu didn't say anything, he went down and knocked on the door, but no one answered the door after knocking for a long time: "My grandma may not live here anymore, go to my uncle's house to have a look."

Yu Lu found the uncle's house based on his memory, and found that a three-story building had been erected in the original place, which should be the newly built house of the uncle's family.The lights on the second floor were still on. Yu Lu went to knock on the door. After a long time, no one answered the door. Maybe the sound of the TV covered up the knock.

Liu Haoyang frowned: "Why isn't there even a doorbell, how can we call the door?"

Yu Lu had no choice but to turn on the headlights of the car and shouted upstairs: "Uncle, Uncle——"

After shouting four or five times in a row, a woman finally poked her head down from the balcony: "Which one?"

Yu Lu said, "Auntie, I'm Yu Lu."

The aunt was obviously taken aback, and it took a while before she said, "Oh, wait a minute."

After another 3 minutes, someone came down and opened the door. Yu Lu looked at his aunt, his body was obviously getting fatter. If he hadn't seen her at her house, he wouldn't dare to recognize her: "Auntie, my uncle is not at home?"

The aunt looked him up and said, "Your uncle went to G City to do business, so he's not at home. Alu, you've grown so tall, Auntie hasn't seen you for a long time, come in and sit down, come in with your friends." My aunt was still very winking, there was a car parked at the door, no matter whose car it was, Yu Lu came by car anyway.

Yu Lu said, "Auntie, where is my grandmother? Did she bring my sister here today?"

"Yes, they're all at my house. They're already asleep. I'll wake them up," said my aunt.

Yu Lu nodded: "Okay, thank you, Jin."

"Come in and sit down, I'll tell them to come down." My aunt had already gone upstairs to call for someone.

Yu Lu didn't follow up, but sat on the chair downstairs, waiting for his sister to come downstairs.About 3 minutes later, he heard the sound of messy footsteps, Yu Lu turned his head to look at the stairs, a young girl came out from behind the door, and another one who was slightly smaller was putting on shoes with his back facing him.Yu Lu stood up and looked at the tall and beautiful girl in front of him: "Are you Yuanyuan?"

Zhang Yuan nodded: "Are you the eldest brother?"

Yu Lu nodded: "Yes, I am the eldest brother."

Zhang Yuan approached slowly, raised her hand to wipe her tears, and cried, "Brother, you finally came to see me, I miss you so much."

Yu Lu looked at his sister: "Brother misses you very much too."

The smaller girl had already put on her shoes, and looked at Yu Lu and Liu Haoyang timidly. She recognized Liu Haoyang, and the policeman she saw at the police station today also had a man, so she had no impression at all.Zhang Yuan stretched out her hand and pulled her sister over: "Adan, this is my brother, he is here to pick us up and go home."

Zhang Dan looked at Yu Lu and called softly, "Brother." His eyes were full of surprise.

Yu Lu held the hands of his two younger sisters, which was very different from the way he remembered. When they left, they were not as tall as his chest. Now they are all slim girls. His eyes were a little wet: "Yuanyuan, don't you?" Cry, brother is here to pick you up."

Liu Haoyang cleared his throat: "Sit down and talk. Zhang Yuan, Zhang Dan, you all remember me?"

Zhang Yuan nodded: "Hello, Uncle Policeman."

Liu Haoyang couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Why did I become an uncle? I'm a classmate with your brother, friend! Call the policeman brother, don't call him uncle, I'm not that old!"

As soon as Liu Haoyang said this, the sad atmosphere was diluted. Yu Lu laughed and said to his sisters: "This is my brother's good friend, Police Officer Liu, you can call him Brother Hao. He told me that today you all I didn’t know about you until I went to the police station to report the crime. Did that man beat you?”

Zhang Yuan lowered her head: "Well, they slapped me and kicked me."

"Mom, doesn't she care?" Yu Lu asked angrily.

Zhang Yuan said: "She still helped that person speak."

The veins on Yu Lu's forehead burst out.

At this time, my aunt came downstairs with my grandmother. When my grandmother saw Yu Lu, she carefully identified it: "Is it Ah Lu?"

Yu Lu turned his head away: "Grandma, it's me."

My aunt helped my grandmother to sit down on the chair, and said, "Ah Lu has grown into an adult, tall and handsome. I heard that he opened a restaurant and made a fortune, right?"

Yu Lu said with no expression on his face: "I didn't get rich. I opened the restaurant with my friends. It's better than setting up a stall before. Grandma, Auntie, what happened today? My mother is going to force my sister to marry me. People? How old is she this year!"

My aunt said: "Actually, I didn't ask her to marry now. I found her a husband's family, got engaged first, and then married when she was old enough. The family conditions are very good, and the boy is also capable. He will do business with his father."

Yu Lu's voice became louder: "My younger sister is only 16 years old this year and is still studying, so you let her get engaged and don't ask her if she wants to. Arranged marriages are against the law these days!"

Zhang Yuan had tears in her eyes: "I don't want to marry, I want to study."

Grandma said: "Yuan, your mother also said that the family can't afford it, and younger brothers and sisters have to go to school."

Yu Lu said: "Yuanyuan, Dandan, brother, I want to ask you, do you want to go back with me, or with your mother? How about I discuss it with my aunt, you live in her house, and I will pay for your tuition and living expenses .”

My aunt's eyes lit up: "How much living expenses do you give us a month?"

Zhang Yuan said: "I want to go with my brother, I want to go home."

Yu Lu said: "Let me tell you first, I don't live in my hometown anymore. I do business in the county town and live in the county town. The house belongs to a friend. It's not very spacious and the conditions are not very good. Would you like it? "

Zhang Yuan nodded sharply: "I am willing. Brother, when can I go back with you?"

Yu Lu looked at his younger sister's eager eyes: "I have to make a phone call to tell Mom that I picked you up. I also need to talk to your third brother and tell them that you are coming back. By the way, Dandan , are you willing to go back with your brother?"

Zhang Dan looked at Yu Lu, then at his sister, and nodded, "I will go wherever my sister goes."

Zhang Yuan grabbed the hand of her younger sister Zhang Dan excitedly, her eyes were full of excitement.The aunt pulled Zhang Yuan over: "A Yuan, come here, Auntie has something to tell you."

Yu Lu asked Zhang Dan for the phone number of his mother Yang Huali, and dialed it, but it took a while to answer. Yu Lu said dryly to the phone: "I am Yu Lu, and I am at Uncle's house. Take my sister to my house and tell you."

The other end was obviously shocked, and there was no reply for a long time, Yu Lu said again: "That's it, let's go first."

The other end hurriedly said: "Wait, wait. Ah Lu, is it really you?"

"Well. I will take good care of my younger sister in the future, so you don't need to worry about it." Yu Lu hung up the phone while talking, watching his aunt and eldest sister whispering something in the stairwell, which couldn't be heard clearly, he Looking at Zhang Dan, "Dandan, if I go to my brother's place, I won't be able to see my mother anymore. Would you like to?"

Zhang Dan hesitated for a moment: "Can't you go see your mother?"

"Of course you can go to see her, but you can't live with her anymore." Yu Lu said.

Zhang Dan said: "Then I don't have to take care of my younger siblings, and I don't have to wash and cook for everyone?"

Yu Lu patted her head: "Yes. No need, there is a washing machine at home, so I don't need to wash clothes by myself. Brother runs a restaurant, so I will eat in the store in the future."

Zhang Dan was obviously a little excited, bit his lower lip, and nodded vigorously.

Yu Lu's phone rang again, and he saw that it was the call he dialed just now. He answered, "What else can I do?"

"You said you took both Ayuan and Adan away?" Yang Huali said, "I don't want Adan to go. You let me talk to Adan."

Yu Lu glanced at his younger sister: "Are you going to ask her to take care of the children and do housework for you?" She really is a free babysitter.

Yang Huali said, "We didn't do anything to offend Adan, why did she leave?"

"That's because she's still young, and it's not ready to marry yet." Yu Lu sneered, "You are no longer worthy of being a mother, and I don't feel relieved that my sister will follow you, and I'm worried that you will sell her again someday. "After speaking, I cut off the phone.

Zhang Yuan has already come out of the stairwell: "Brother, when are we leaving, I want to go back with you now, is that okay?"

"Okay, I've already called my mother. Let's go, go back, if there is anything else to pack, hurry up and pack it up." Yu Lu told his sister.

Zhang Yuan and Zhang Dan hurried upstairs to pack their things, Yu Lu called and told Hai Xuan that he would take his sister back tonight, Hai Xuan had no objection, but said: "Let Anan clean up my room first. I'll sleep in your room tonight."

Yu Lu was a little embarrassed: "Why don't you let Anan sleep on the sofa."

"It's not that there is no bed to sleep on, what kind of sofa!" Hai Xuan said and hung up the phone.

Yu Lu called back to Yu Nan and told him to pick up his sister. Yu Nan was very excited, so he took the initiative to say that he had to clean up the house and let his room out, and he was willing to sleep on the sofa.Yu Lu couldn't help laughing, Haixuan's wish could not be fulfilled now.
