Pastoral Daily Life

Chapter 9 Conflict

When Lu Lingxi was discharged from the hospital, she left her Chlorophytum to Sister Tian.This pot of Chlorophytum has been raised very well by him, the branches and leaves are stretched and verdant, in Sister Tian's words, just looking at it makes me feel good.Sister Tian likes it, and Lu Lingxi is also happy.This pot of spider orchids is the first pot of green plants he raised. As a major contributor to helping him discover the white panel, this pot of spider orchids has a very special meaning in Lu Lingxi's heart.If it wasn't for his too many odds and ends, he and Wang Shuxiu could not get it back just by him and Wang Shuxiu carrying the things and hugging Chlorophytum, and Lu Lingxi was also reluctant to keep it.

Seeing Lu Lingxi's expression of reluctance towards Diaolan, Sister Tian laughed and joked: "Don't worry, Xiao Lu, Sister Tian will raise this pot of Chlorophytum for you first, and make sure it is healthy, and you will bring it back when you come to the hospital someday .”

When Sister Tian said this, Lu Lingxi laughed embarrassedly.

After bidding farewell to Sister Tian and everyone in the ward, Lu Lingxi followed Wang Shuxiu and left the hospital.The two hired a car, Wang Shuxiu reported the address, and then repeated it to Lu Lingxi, asking him to remember the name of the community.Lu Lingxi nodded, looking out through the car window.

Fengcheng is located in the northern part of Huaguo, not far from Zhongjing, the capital of Huaguo. It is a large-scale heavy industrial city.Because it was summer, the streets were very lively, there was a constant flow of traffic and people, men, women, old and young, walked in a hurry or looked relaxed, the whole city was full of vitality, Lu Lingxi was fascinated by it for a while.In the past, he seldom went out in the Lu family, even if he went out, he mostly went to the hospital. In the oppressive and tense atmosphere at that time, he was not in the mood to look at the outside world at all.This is the first time he observed a city seriously, so vividly, not through video and text, but with his own eyes.

The taxi stopped at a red light, and on the sidewalk not far away, a white puppy was struggling to get out of its owner's embrace.The owner seemed to be unable to bear the little milk dog's tossing, squatted down and put it on the ground, and at the same time stretched out his hand to carefully protect the surroundings.The little milk dog looked around curiously with its big wet eyes, and tentatively stretched out its front paws and took a step.No danger.The little milk dog was about to take the second step when a little girl happened to pass by and let out a cry of surprise when she saw it.The little milk dog was frightened by the barking, turned around in a staggered manner, and threw himself into the arms of its owner, never wanting to come out again.

Lu Lingxi couldn't help laughing at this scene, but after laughing, he felt that his current mood was somewhat similar to that of the little milk dog.Maybe it was because she was locked in a small world for too long in the past, Lu Lingxi was full of yearning for the outside world.But when he could really come out, he was a little scared.He doesn't understand anything and has no experience in social life at all. Can he adapt to a new life?This question lingered in Lu Lingxi's mind, replacing his joy of being discharged from the hospital, and giving birth to a trace of uneasiness about an unknown life.The little milk dog will have an owner to take it to know the world, and it can jump back into the arms of the owner when it is afraid, what about him?

"looking at what?"

Wang Shuxiu came over, and the taxi just walked away. Wang Shuxiu didn't see the puppy outside, but saw a square in the middle of the street not far away, and immediately pointed it out to Lu Lingxi.

"See? Your mother and I work there, Star Plaza, remember."

"Ah."

For the rest of the journey, Wang Shuxiu enthusiastically pointed out the building outside the window and introduced it to Lu Lingxi.Maybe it's almost home, and the surrounding area is basically Lu Lingxi's previous activities.The place he used to go to, the place where he used to go to school, the park where he got into a fight last time.At the end, Wang Shuxiu patted Lu Lingxi on the head, and concluded: "You can think of these places as soon as you can, and it doesn't matter if you can't, just treat it as a new place. When your mother and I came to Fengcheng from the countryside, we wrote I don’t know a few of you, and I haven’t lived well here. It’s fine these few days, let that boy Yi Hang accompany you around, and get familiar with the surrounding situation.”

"Hmm." The anxiety in Lu Lingxi's heart was slapped away by Wang Shuxiu's slap, and with Wang Shuxiu's introduction, her whole heart gradually settled down.

The taxi turned east and west on the road, and soon stopped in front of an old residential area near the city center in Fengcheng.

"Here we are." Wang Shuxiu got out of the car with her things and pointed the way to Lu Lingxi.

Lu Lingxi got out of the car behind her, and the first thing she saw was a row of crooked small sheds at the entrance of the community, and a figure pointing at them inside the small sheds.

"Wang Xiaohua, who did you bring back? It doesn't look like your son?"

A slightly teasing remark came out of the small shed, and the people inside immediately burst into laughter.

Wang Xiaohua was Wang Shuxiu's original name. When Wang Shuxiu was born, her parents were poor and uneducated, and girls in those days were not worth much, so they named her Xiaohua casually.After Wang Shuxiu left her hometown to venture into the world, she felt that Xiaohua's name was terrible after seeing the world, so she changed her name to Wang Shuxiu.

When Wang Shuxiu married Lu Yishui and moved to this community, she had already changed her name.At first, no one knew her original name was Wang Xiaohua, but one time when she and Lu Yishui got into a fight, Lu Yishui called out this name in a hurry, which happened to be heard by the neighbors who were bored watching.From then on, everyone liked to make jokes about her name.

Wang Shuxiu listened to their ridicule, sneered, and responded aggressively: "Who I bring back to take care of your business, why is it not like my son is like your son, okay, you take money to support it."

Lu Lingxi: "..."

Wang Shuxiu replied with a word, and the person who spoke before suddenly dared not speak again.

Faintly heard someone scolding with a smile: "Ma Laosan, can you do it, is it really your son?"

"Get out! My son can grow up like this, but he still won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law."

"Hey, what did Lu Lingxi look like before? Why can't I remember at all."

"Look at that little boy Yi Hang, he's exactly the same."

The people in the shed seemed to be full of interest in Lu Lingxi, they had already heard about Lu Lingxi's amnesia.For this kind of plot that often appears on TV, everyone is more curious than watching the excitement.

Wang Shuxiu curled her lips, not bothering to talk to them anymore, she dragged Lu Lingxi into the community.

This neighborhood is almost 20 years old.After decades of wind and rain and poor maintenance, the whole community looks very dilapidated.Some external walls have begun to peel off, and more walls are black and covered with moss.Although there are flowers and grass in the community, it feels very disorganized.After walking two steps, you can see garbage piled up everywhere, and more of them are small sheds built by residents indiscriminately.

Lu Lingxi had never seen these before, and he followed behind Wang Shuxiu a little uncomfortable.Wang Shuxiu turned a blind eye to everything around her, and kept pointing out to Lu Lingxi which building she was passing by.

Their home is in the innermost part of the community, [-], Gate [-], Building [-].

"It's coming soon."

Turning a corner, Wang Shuxiu turned her head to signal that Lu Lingxi was ahead.Lu Lingxi looked ahead and was stunned for a moment, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Who are those people?"

Wang Shuxiu followed his line of sight, threw the things in her hand and rushed up.

"Lu Yishui, you bastard, what are you doing?"

Not far ahead, Lu Yishui was wearing a bandage on his head, with one arm hanging in front of his chest, and he was directing a few tall and thick men to move things out of [-].A green pickup truck was parked outside [-]. A lean man was sitting in the back of the pickup truck, lazily smoking a cigarette and shouting from time to time.

"You guys hurry up, you didn't eat breakfast this morning."

Wang Shuxiu's voice attracted everyone's attention, the thin man gave Wang Shuxiu a sideways glance, and Lu Yishui trotted two steps to stand in front of Wang Shuxiu.

"Wang Xiaohua, I'm warning you not to make trouble, brother Feng is not a person who is easy to discuss."

Before Lu Yishui finished speaking, Wang Shuxiu had already slapped him on the head. "I'm making trouble? You're having a hard time. You let them move everything away. What will we do?"

Lu Yishui was slapped short by her, and he clasped his arms and yelled loudly. "It's not that you didn't give me money last time. Look at how I was beaten. If there were no these things against me, I would lose an arm."

Wang Shuxiu was so handsome that she threw herself into the water and beat her. "I let you gamble, I let you gamble."

"It's okay, it's okay, Wang Xiaohua, I've warned you enough!" Lu Yishui lost his fighting strength in the hospital last time with his arms hanging, and could only retreat while being beaten.

The man on the pickup looked at Lu Yishui's cowardly look and sneered.

Xu Shi was stimulated by the other party's laughter, Lu Yishui blushed, glared at Wang Shuxiu and slapped him.

With a sound of "dong", Lu Yishui's slap didn't hit Wang Shuxiu's body, but hit a pile of broken things instead.

With a straight face, Lu Lingxi blocked Wang Shuxiu with something in her hand.

"Little bastard, you..." Lu Yishui jumped and scolded.

Lu Lingxi didn't know how to curse, and quietly looked at Lu Yishui with dark eyes.Lu Yishui felt guilty after being looked at, and his scolding gradually subsided.

The man on the pickup truck next to him looked at this scene with cold eyes, and greeted loudly, "Okay, leave the rest for them." While talking, the man looked over, without even looking at Lu Yishui, and said to Wang Shuxiu: "It's only natural to pay back the debt. Lu Yishui lost a lot of money to me, so don't blame me for moving things to pay off the debt. How much is this thing worth? It's just a bonus. I'm in a good mood today, so I won't move the rest Yes. The money owed by Lu Yishui will be postponed for another week, and you can figure it out."

"Hey, hey, brother Feng!" Lu Yishui pulled the man tightly to say something.

The man pushed him away impatiently and motioned for his subordinates to drive.

The pickup truck wobbled away from the community, Lu Yishui turned his head to meet Wang Shuxiu's gaze, and laughed dryly, "Then what..."

Wang Shuxiu spat at him, dragged Lu Lingxi into the house, and locked the door directly to shut Lu Yishui out.

The house was in a mess, the refrigerator, color TV and several large electrical appliances were gone.Wang Shuxiu held back her anger, and smiled at Lu Lingxi pretending to be okay, "If you don't buy the old ones, you won't get the new ones. I've already used up all these things. Mom will take you to buy new ones tomorrow."

Lu Lingxi reached out to support her, and could feel Wang Shuxiu's body trembling slightly.He was afraid that Wang Shuxiu would become ruthless and it would be bad for her health, so he said softly: "I want to find a job, and I will support you in the future."

"Little bastard."

Wang Shuxiu cursed in a low voice, her eyes gradually turned red.
