Good Luck in the Year of the Pig

In the middle of the night, Lu Ying woke up from the bed, staring in a daze.The ceiling is white, not clean, peeled off, stained with dust, sundries are piled up in every corner, cooking is done all the year round in the room, and the walls are yellowed and darkened by smoke.

Probably their clothes and quilts also smelled of smoke and fire.

I don't know how much truth lies beneath Mrs. Qin's kind and friendly smile yesterday.

After all, the aloof Mrs. Qin would not look hideous even if she tore her face apart, let alone dislike you outright.

'I'm not embarrassing you, it's for your own good, I'm not forcing you to leave, I'm thinking about your future'

'I hope you have a good life in the future, you take the money and use it, go back and be filial to your grandpa'

'I know you might think I'm bad, so it doesn't matter if you scold me.But after ten or eight years, you will definitely thank me. '

"I can't care about dating at such a young age, I have to learn more and think more, the most important thing is to be with my grandfather"

'I know you are a good boy, I actually like you very much, otherwise someone would have arrested you'...

Really.

Mrs. Qin is very nice, the words she said are still in my ears, every sentence is in my heart, and every word makes sense.Let him have a deep understanding of what it means to be a "man with his tail between his legs", what is meant by "fear" and "despair".He was still shaking when he ran to the airport holding back his tears.He thought, although he was very reluctant to part with the little lover there, but the little lover's mother was really terrible.Woo, if the little lover has a conscience, he will definitely go to the mountains to find him.

In his territory, with his grandfather around, he is not afraid of Mrs. Qin.

……

"Heh..." Looking back at this moment, the clearer it is, the more funny it is, laughing at myself for being naive and stupid back then, and being scared away easily, ╭(╯^╰)╮.I'm afraid Mrs. Qin still doesn't understand her inexplicable deterrent power.

It's just that Mrs. Qin is still Mrs. Qin, he is no longer the Lu Ying who only knew how to haha ​​back then.Mrs. Qin's appearance is getting old, but his heart is growing up.

As for the little lover whom I have never seen again... I can't force it.

Oh no, it's the ex...

Today is January [-]st, the first day of the Gregorian New Year.

Lu Ying went to the window and quietly opened the curtain, the world outside the house was white all night.

The snow covered the dilapidated streets and eaves as white as frost, and the snowflakes fluttered down from the quiet night sky, accompanied by a faint night glow.

It was as if stars were falling from the sky.

He wanted to reach out and catch it.

The cold glass blocked his intention.

Didi, Didi.

The alarm clock rang at 03:30, it was time to go to work.

Brush your teeth, wash your face, change your clothes, change your shoes, steam steamed buns in the rice cooker, and stuff the freshly boiled water into your mouth.I ate too fast and couldn't bear to cough a few times, and it was uncomfortable to swallow.

"Father..." Lu Zaizai sat up on the bed sleepily, seeing his father eating steamed buns in the kitchen, his sleepiness suddenly disappeared.

The child blinked his ignorant eyes.

"Dad, are the buns hard to eat?"

Sniffing nervously, watching her son running towards him barefoot, Lu Ying stepped forward and mentioned him, "I have a surprise for you."

"Really?" Lu Zaizai slapped Lu Ying's slightly hot face, and Lu Ying smiled: "Close your eyes first."

"Uh-huh!"

He picked up his son and went to the window, raised the curtains, "Open your eyes and have a look."

The snow-white world greets the eyes of the child.

"Look, how beautiful it is outside."

"Wow, there's a lot of snow!" Lu Zaizai was attracted by the world in front of him, and his face was almost pressed against the window glass: "Dad, can we build a snowman and have a snowball fight?"

"Of course. This year's snow is very heavy, and we rarely have such heavy snow in Caifeng City. The first day of the new year is indeed a good omen."

"Yes, it snowed last year, but there was no snowman. It snowed before, but it melted very quickly." Lu Zaizai asked annoyedly, "Daddy, shall we go to the amusement park today?"

Lu Ying told him regretfully: "The snow is too heavy, and the outdoor projects in the amusement park will stop working. Can we go next time?"

Lu Zaizai was not disappointed, but smiled and put his arms around his father's neck: "Then father will take me to play in the snow today!"

"No problem. You sleep a little longer, and Dad will clean the street first."

Lu Zaizai hurriedly shook his head and strongly refused: "No! I don't want to be at home alone. I want to go out with my father."

"But it's cold outside."

"I'm not afraid. I'm going to be with my father. You see, my hand was hurt yesterday. I'm very pitiful."

"Who said he was a big brother?"

Lu Zaizai shook his head and emphasized loudly: "I'm not, I'm still a baby in kindergarten!"

Hey, why did it become so sticky after a little injury!

Knowing that he can't hold back his son, it's better than the little guy running out alone after he goes out.Lu Ying took out the cotton coat and trousers from the bottom of the press box, wrapped her son layer by layer, and finally put on a down jacket, ate something, put on a thermos, and went out directly.

The work clothes Lu Ying wears are luminous, which is very eye-catching when walking on the street at three or four in the morning.Lu Zaizai thought the clothes were particularly cool, like a shining animated hero.

"Dad, I want clothes that shine."

"This is work clothes, you can't buy them."

"Then when I grow up and work with Dad, I can be like you."

"Really? It's not an easy job."

"I'm not afraid~"

"That will make you suffer later."

Lu Zaizai followed behind bouncingly, stomping on the snow from time to time and making a squeaky sound. There were hardly any vehicles or pedestrians on the road. The father and son walked hand in hand in the snow, laughing and smashing snowballs all the way. Floating in the dark night for a long time.

Unknowingly came to the work site, the elderly captain was earlier than Lu Ying, a tough old man in his 50s was driving a tricycle to transport salt bags one after another, seeing his sweaty face, I am afraid that he did at least one many hours.

"Captain Yuan, why are you so early?" Lu Ying hurriedly stepped forward to help him unload the salt bag. This salt bag weighed one hundred catties, and it weighed heavily on the old man's shoulders.

Captain Yuan wiped the sweat off his face: "Why did you bring the child out? It's such a cold day. What should I do if I don't let the child get sick from the cold? I kept paying attention to the heavy snow today, and sure enough the road was covered with snow. What if we don’t come out earlier to transport salt bags to melt the snow.”

"Then you should have informed us earlier, what use can you be alone."

"Hmph, young man, you still look down on me, yes, Uncle Yuan is not convinced by others, so I will obey you."

Lu Ying smiled, took out two bags of salt in one hand, and threw them onto the cart with ease, not forgetting to tell the curious son next to him: "Zai Zai, this is Grandpa Yuan."

"Good morning, Grandpa Yuan." Lu Zaizai said obediently.

"You're so good. Hurry up and go to the station on the side of the road. It's clean and safe. But don't play on the road."

"Cub, let's go, you can build snowmen on the chairs at the station."

Lu Zaizai hesitated: "But I still want to help Dad with work."

"Little fool, if you use child labor like you, Dad will be scolded."

"Okay then, I'm going to build a snowman. Call me if Dad needs help, and I'll definitely help you."

"Be careful not to get your injured hand."

Captain Yuan laughed happily: "Your boy is really strong, a good and sensible boy."

"Well, he has been well-behaved since he was a child."

After a while, other employees arrived one after another, and they all worked together to transport the truckloads of salt bags to the roads and splash them, prompting the rapid melting of the snow on the streets.The weather has been cold these past few days, and there is less garbage on the streets than usual, but today heavy snow piled up, which greatly increased the workload.Usually, Lu Ying can finish work in four hours at the slowest time. Today, there is still a lot of work until almost [-]:[-] in the morning. Vehicles are already speeding along the road, and there are many pedestrians.

"Xiao Lu, don't be too busy, hurry up and go to work in the supermarket, and we will do the rest." Captain Yuan urged Lu Ying to leave quickly.

Lu Ying shook her head, waved the shovel and continued to shovel the snow, looking at her son playing next to her from time to time.This kid is so energetic, he is still playing vigorously and tirelessly since he got up in the middle of the night.

"Aren't you afraid of having your money deducted for being late?" Captain Yuan worried for him.

Lu Ying stopped, rested with a shovel in one hand, and pulled the clothes behind her with the other hand. After working hard for several hours, the clothes inside were all soaked in sweat and stuck to her back.

"No. I was fired yesterday."

"What? How did you get fired?" Captain Yuan exclaimed.

Lu Ying said simply: "Yesterday afternoon, the supervisor called me to tell me that the resignation letter was rejected by the manager, who in turn dismissed me. The reason is that I was absent from work for no reason yesterday, and my salary was not paid last month."

"It's unreasonable. What kind of manager is this? If you don't pay wages for work, you can go to the labor department to apply for some kind of arbitration to sue him! After a month of hard work, you only get two or three thousand dollars. Why don't you give me a penny. Don't be afraid, the big deal is for us These old people are going to ask for it for you, but I don’t believe she dares not to give it.”

"If you don't get paid for your work, you will be struck by lightning that day!"

This group of street sweeping colleagues were filled with righteous indignation, and they all helped Lu Ying with their ideas.

Lu Ying comforted: "Thank you, I will definitely get my salary back. I can do it alone."

"Don't take everything by yourself, call us if you can't!"

"must."

"Dad, let me sweep the floor for you."

There were more and more people at the station, and Lu Zaizai was so crowded that he had no place to play, so he ran over bored and picked up a broom to sweep in a decent manner.Everyone laughed and praised him for his ability, Lu Ying let him go, rubbed his hands, and the father and son were busy together.

At around [-]:[-] noon, the snow on the street was finally cleared away. Everyone was so tired that they couldn't stand upright, and they left work and went back to their homes in mourning.Lu Ying was so hungry that she panicked, and Lu Zaizai was even listless, looking pitiful that she could fall asleep at any time.

After returning home for dinner, Lu Ying dragged his dozing son to the bathhouse outside to take a bath. Winter clothes are not easy to dry. He usually only washes once every two or three days. He boils water at home and squeezes it into the bathroom to wash. It feels uncomfortable at all. , every time Lu Zaizai finished washing with howling ghosts and howling wolves.

There is a hidden bathhouse next to the community. Tenants who are reluctant to use electricity and water at home choose to go to the bathhouse.Five yuan for adults and three yuan for children, all in separate compartments.When the boss saw that Lu Ying was bringing the child, he arranged for a slightly larger bathroom.

Lu Ying carries a complete set of equipment, large and small towels, travel size shampoo, shower gel, children's cream, and a large plastic basin.

"Wow, wow, it's so hot, I'm going to burn it!" As soon as the shower sprayed, Lu Zaizai began to perform loach dancing with a loud voice.

……

Lu Ying rolled her eyes and poured water into the basin: "Where is it hot? It's hot! It's better to wash in cold water if it's colder."

"Wooooow, I'm going to use the Ultraman basin to wash." Lu Zaizai huddled in a corner and scrubbed slowly.

Lu Ying didn't care about him: "It's up to you."

Lu Zaizai grumbled slowly, patting the water for a while, and Biubiu waved a towel to transform himself, almost throwing himself off his back.Lu Ying was so angry that she gasped, and gently twisted his ears: "Every time I take you out to take a bath, you get skinny, if you wet the wound, you deserve it."

"Dad, don't be angry, I won't move around." Lu Zaizai immediately pretended to be good: "Dad, I'll help you take a bath."

"Pull you down."

"Father, the scar on your stomach has turned red." Lu Zaizai was amazed, and reached out to touch Lu Ying's lower abdomen. Usually, the scar was light pink, but now the hot water has deepened the color, "It feels slippery." Slippery, like a small fish, hehehe, it's fun." The little hand poked it back and forth.

Lu Ying pushed her son's little hand away and hummed softly.

"The little fish has grown into you."

The big pig's trotters made me ugly, and I was born prematurely!

Thinking of Mrs. Qin yesterday and all the past, the hot water ruthlessly washed over her body, burning Lu Ying's eyes red.

When Lu Ying walked out of the bathhouse, her mood was still tense, and her rosy-faced son followed behind while holding the Ultraman bathtub.

"Dad, my socks are disobedient and indented into my shoes, please help me fix them."

Lu Ying lowered her head and bent over to help him pull out the hem of the sock.The moment I stood up, I felt something.Someone was following him in the dark, but the feeling disappeared when he looked up.

Lu Ying took her son by the hand and raised her vigilance.

In the office, the assistant made Qin Zhuopu a cup of oolong tea.Qin Zhuopu didn't even look at it, his eyes were only on the computer screen.

A series of high-definition photos flashed across the screen, and the main character was all alone.

After a while, there was a bang.

The assistant came in tremblingly, only to see that the teacup was broken into several petals.

The boss turned his back to the people and stood by the window smoking a cigarette.
