The Good Mother System

Lu Zhai

"Lu Si didn't come back last night?" Father Lu changed his suit to go out. He looked back at his wife who was sitting behind him. He was a little worried and guilty. After all, why did Lu Si not come back?

Mother Lu thought for a while: "I don't know, I didn't pay attention." She fell asleep shortly after falling into the night last night, but she didn't pay attention to her family.

Last night was the 20th anniversary annual meeting of Jianlu Decoration. I started to arrange it a few months ago. At that time, he showed off with his partners that his baby girl was coming from abroad. Then he invited them to the annual meeting. Introduce her daughter to them by the way.

But I didn't think that after only a few months of work, this daughter is no longer a daughter.

Father Lu thought for a while, intending to make Lu Si's identity clear, after all, Lu Si is his real daughter.

But I was also worried that Lu Wei would think too much. After all, these recent days have not been easy for the two children. He was afraid that he would do this by himself and make it difficult for the children to be human. After all, he and his wife decided from the beginning, Continue to raise Lu Wei's relationship for more than 20 years.

After he shared these thoughts with his wife, his wife just told him coldly that Lu thought would not be able to hold the ground, for fear that he would be embarrassed.

He thought that many business partners were there this time. In case something went wrong, everyone would be unsightly. There will be many opportunities like this in the future. It is better to talk about it later, and finally take Lu Wei away as agreed.

But as soon as he arrived at the scene, he pulled Lu Wei, his eyes met Lu Si, he knew that something was broken, looking at Lu Si's crying eyes, he felt guilt one after another, and someone came to toast and had to entertain first. , After handling it, Lu Si disappeared.

When he returned home after the annual meeting, he saw that Lu Si hadn't come back, and he sent a text message worriedly. It took a long time for him to receive a reply. Lu Si said that she would spend the night with her foster mother so he should not worry.

As soon as he heard that he was going to foster mother’s house, he couldn’t say anything. He could only swallow the words back. But seeing that the child hadn’t come back early in the morning, he knew that he must have hurt the child’s heart this time, but he did it again. Can't help but wonder, is this child worried that he won't let her cross the road, and don't arrange her work better?

He knew that his child was dizzy when he thought about it, but he couldn't help it. After all, Lu Si and her adoptive mother had to come back. The child who had been raising for more than 20 years just left. This is much more. It hurts the heart of the foster mother.

Father Lu hesitated and patted his wife on the shoulder: "Wife, I said, you and Sisi don't get so old and stiff, how can the child integrate into our family like this? Right?"

He thought, maybe it's because they didn't open their hearts to accept the children, and they still don't know how well the children are.

"I don't accept the child?" Mother Lu sneered, "It's not that you don't have eyes to see, she and I are just wrong."

Here again, Father Lu helped his forehead. During these days, he looked at the two faces that came out of the same mold and crossed his eyebrows. There was a dining table that was talking and laughing, but now he didn’t say a word. They were clearly in the same roof. Next, the two of them can ignore each other, making the other two children embarrassed, and his sandwich biscuit is even more difficult to be human.

"Wife, I also think it's difficult to accept a child we haven't gotten with each other in our family for more than 20 years, but now that we have made this decision, I think we are better off, what do you think?"

Lu Mu Qiji: "Then teach me how to live a good life!"

She was filled with grievances in her heart. At the beginning, she was looking forward to the child who fell from the sky and approached carefully, but when the child was determined to come back, all this changed.

Her husband didn't understand that for a housewife like her, this home is like her territory. Although Lu Si is her biological daughter, she is not right with everything in this home.

"You said that I have been changing for more than 20 years, but did you have feelings after raising a dog for 20 years? When we gave birth to our daughters, it wasn't because we were patriarchs and girls had to be born again, or because we liked children? ?? As a result, I took care of my children, pulled them up, and watched them get ahead. Look at our family, Axing and Weiwei, who wouldn’t say that my mother taught well when I went out?"

"Now tell me, all this is wrong, can't it be so wrong? She still has to come back and leave her adoptive mother behind. At that time, if her adoptive mother knew the truth, she had to go back. Do you think Weiwei can stand that kind of life? We won't lose her if we talk about money or something, so why bother to come back?"

"Then since she has to come back, then come back. She just came back, did I not buy her clothes, or did I lack her food or drink? I give my pocket money if I give it, or buy something if I want to buy it. , From head to toe, I have done everything right for her...How come I treat her better than her mom who sells barbecues?"

Father Lu was very worried when he saw his wife who was out of breath, so he quickly poured a glass of water and gave her a smooth flow. His brows were knotted: "What are you angry about? All our daughters. Weiwei is, so is Sisi... This Sisi's previous education and life may be a bit different from ours, so we will get her temper, and I will work **** her in the future and send her to a graduate school. , Plated with gold... it will be better after a long time."

Mother Lu smiled: "Lao Lu, can you change your temper if you can?" She wanted to share with her husband the anger she had been holding back these days.

"At the beginning, Lu Si just came back. It's not just that you have a fatherly heart. This is my own daughter. I can't have any affection? But when we get along, I found out that she and our family Weiwei are from head to toe. all different."

Mother Lu was spitting out bitterness with Father Lu while drinking water: "I want to take her to go shopping and buy her clothes. She is embarrassed, saying that there are things at the company, and big things can't be done. Let it go? Look at me buying clothes for Weiwei, she didn't say accept it, so what do you do if you push me to reject it?"

"This... our company's design department is relatively busy..." Father Lu stammered to explain for the child.

"Busy? You are the boss and she is not as busy as her! You still go home for dinner every day, and she won't come back if she doesn't!" Mother Lu was very angry.

She continued to chant: "The auntie was clearly invited at home. She wakes up every day to clean up her room, and even wash her clothes. She will do sanitation at home when she is free. Who is this to show? As a worker, if she does everything, I will ask the babysitter to do what? Why doesn’t she know how to measure? We don’t need her to do this every day because of our conditions! Even my aunt told me that Miss Sisi takes care of everything Yes, she has nothing to do!"

Father Lu didn’t refute this time. He also saw this. Maybe her adoptive mother’s conditions were not good enough. So when she came here, she still kept her original habit. She had to work on something every day. It seems that if you have so much time, it is better to spend yourself enriching and developing yourself, but your horizons are too narrow.

"Also, our family is self-preserving. The fish I buy are several hundred a catty heavier, not to mention that the meat is bought for non-feed... What is this for? It is not for the health of the children. , Do you think how well Weiwei and Axing are raised by me? Lu Si just doesn't understand what is good or bad, so he likes to eat those salty and oily ones. She does not eat well, can I still tell? I just pretended to be better in the first two days, and I could see the appearance that I couldn’t eat later when I ate!"

"This..." Father Lu was stuck for a while. He didn't know what to do. Their family pays attention to health preservation. The table they ate may seem to have a clear soup, but it is more valuable than a large table of other dishes. Much. This Lu Si doesn't understand, maybe it's because I haven't seen enough in the world... Seeing this more often, maybe, it will be better.

Mother Lu said more and more vigorously: "I think she is a little embarrassed at home, I want to chat with her, sit in front of the TV, and want to ask her what books she likes to read when she was a child. She actually hesitated and couldn't tell. It's not like me at all!"

"Then she didn’t even understand what the news was about the world situation and finances, and she didn’t have much speculation. Would you like me to discuss work and food with her? Yes, she seemed to watch it secretly. What's the use? Half a bottle of water is swaying straight, and there is no ink in my stomach, and I can't understand it. Do I have to ask her about the secret of barbecue!"

To be honest, Father Lu also felt that the chat was not smooth. He often wanted to talk to this kid about the company’s business or the current market situation, but once she talked about it, her background was not enough. Design, she's very clever, but what's the use? A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. She is so top, that is, to be a designer. Why doesn't she think about the development of the company?

"Also, Lu Si's **** is totally wrong. You said that she came back and I also showed her kindness. Why can't she take the initiative to act like Wei Wei and act like a baby with me, you, and her brother? That way, it doesn't seem to be sincere at all!"

"I took Weiwei out. Everyone praised me for raising a Shui Ling daughter and took Lu Si out. You said that how I introduced her to others seems to be wrong. Besides, if I treat her too well, put Weiwei away. Where is it? This bowl of water is flat and difficult!"

...

She talked endlessly, but she didn’t have any good words: "Anyway, Lao Lu, let me tell you that this incident was wrong from beginning to end. I have seen these few days that this Sisi is not suitable for our family. She and I are really not on the right track, but fortunately, the child is also older. After we marry, I will come to see it every Chinese New Year. The well water does not interfere with the river water, and I do not expect her to take care of me."

Father Lu didn't know when he put the cigarette on his mouth, and he took a sigh of relief: "Hey...you said it would be great if Weiwei were our own daughter. This way, no one is happy."

"Who said no?" Mother Lu also sat next to her and sighed.

What do you think this is! All messy.

...

At dawn, the small building of the single house is well-lit, and the warm sun shines on the people inside. Lu Si stretched out a long lazy waist, feeling the slightly harder bed below, and woke up immediately and caught The phone, it was only 6:40 and I felt relieved. Fortunately, I was not late.

This was the room she grew up with, only a few square meters. It was not as big as the bathroom in her bedroom in the Lu family, but it was obviously a narrow room, which brought her all peace of mind.

After arriving at the Lu family, she never told Mother Lu once that she helped her mother all the year round, but her shoulders, neck, and waist weren’t very good. The Lu family’s soft bed was not suitable at all. She, she feels bad when she wakes up every day.

She has known since she was a child that she should make people less troublesome, but she didn't know that sometimes her dislike of troublesome personality made people misunderstand her.

"Are you awake?" The door was pushed open, and what appeared was Shan Jingqiu, a familiar big-flowered pajamas. His hair hadn't been taken care of, and those curls were messed up, just standing akimbo against the wall." Come out to eat soon?"

After speaking, he turned around and left. The opened door could smell the scents coming from outside.

No need to look, Lu Si knew that today's breakfast must be a bowl of steaming porridge with poached eggs, slightly browned on the side with a little roll, sprinkled with soy sauce, it could not be more delicious. There should also be a bowl of fried fragrant dry, a bit salty, but a good meal.

After folding the quilt, she took out the clothes from the closet and put them on her body, just like before she walked, except that the clothes were covered with a dust cover one by one by her mother. When she lay on the bed yesterday, she could still smell the quilt. The smell of sunlight on the sun.

My mother didn’t know when she would be back, thinking that she had packed up her clothes one by one. For fear of dust, she would come to the room to wipe the table and chairs when she was fine, and take out the quilt every few days. When I went to the sun, I was worried that my daughter would have no place to sleep when she came back.

Thinking of this, she had already cried from the soreness of her eyes. In the past few days, she almost shed all the tears she had never shed since childhood.

"I told you to go out to eat, why don't you go out to eat? Every day, I know procrastination and procrastination!" Shan Jingqiu muttered behind her and pulled her daughter over, and her face was twitched when she saw her already crying hard. It hurts, but I can't see it at all. I grabbed her to the table and pressed her to force her to eat.

What can't you get through? Everything passed after eating and eating, this is the most profound truth that life told her.

Looking at the dishes on the table, it can be said to be a luxury level for Shan Jia. Early in the morning, Shan Jingqiu fried a poached egg, fried Lu Si's favorite fragrant dried, and fried some minced tempeh and served it. A table full of greens.

This is completely different from Lu’s breakfast. The breakfast is very light. Although nutritious, it is all oil-free and salt-free. Lu Si is not a picky person, but with such changes, she never ate well. .

After eating, looking at the mother who was stalking her own meal, she seemed to be back in a trance. She finished the meal lively at this dinner table, went to work, and went to the barbecue shop after work. Accompanying my mother to close the stall together, it is obviously a busy and hard day, but every day is full and happy.

My mother told her since she was a child that everyone comes out of life with a bowl. Some people fill it up, and some people don’t pretend to be anything. She is a child who has nothing in the bowl. If she wants to eat well, If you are full, you have to live your life and fill the bowl little by little. If you don't live your life well, if this bowl is broken, no matter how much you save, it will fall clean like quicksand.

She has been living very hard and has been very happy, but now she is really unhappy.

Shan Jingqiu looked at the sky and looked at the earth, unwilling to look at her own children, hesitated a little: "You..."

Lu Si stared blankly at the mother who had never been seen before, and said, "Mom, what's the matter?"

The opposite woman raised her brows, stood up with her hips akimbo, closed her eyes and said in a loud voice: "Will you come back to dinner at night!" As soon as the voice fell, she turned her head and did not want to turn her back. .

"Why are you so fierce!" Lu Si burst into tears and became angry. "Why are you so fierce!"

If it weren't for my mother who keeps words in her heart, she always doesn't want to say love, she is always so awkward... They don't take her seriously, but she is also mother's baby.

Shan Jingqiu turned red eyes, her tone was still fierce, and he drew a few sheets of paper in one breath, and wiped Lu Si's face: "Why cry? Why cry?" She put her daughter a little harder. His face was flushed, and there was a slight pain again. He touched it lightly, and his tone softened, "Then you, won't you come back for dinner at night."

After only two minutes of being gentle, she became fierce again: "I won't cook your food if I don't come back!" She seemed to be afraid that the other party was really serious, so she quickly patched up, "If you don't tell me, then I will Without cooking, you can only have barbecue!" He turned his head awkwardly.

Lu Si smiled with tears: "Back, I'll go back to eat in the evening."

...

Father Lu hadn't gone out yet, was eating, wondering whether to send Lu Si a message, and felt that there is no reason for the child and daughter to apologize. After thinking about it, he didn't send it. The phone suddenly rang while eating.

How can someone look for it this morning?

Picking up the phone and looking at it, he was stunned on the spot.

Lu Si: Hello, Dad. I don't know when you will be free today. I want to discuss some things with you.

He didn't know what was going to be discussed, could it be because of yesterday's thing that he was still angry? Hey, he will introduce his daughter to everyone at the annual meeting next year. With that said, Lu Si should be at ease. After thinking of a solution, he replied with confidence, "Okay, see you in my office this afternoon."
