He took out his phone and gave a call to Lu Ling, but the latter's phone was switched off. Hence, he could only wrap himself in his clothes and wait in the car. When he raised his head, he saw Lu Ling holding a red suitcase and smiling at him.
Lu Yiwei was briefly stunned before he got off the car and walked to Lu Ling. "How well did you get off the car?"
Lu Ling lowered her head and smiled. "I got off at the station entrance to give you a surprise."
Lu Yiwei looked at Lu Ling's thin clothes and did not ask anything. He lifted the suitcase and said, "Get in the car, it's cold outside."
Lu Ling had changed so much that even Lu Yiwei could not recognize her. Indeed, women change eighteen times between childhood and womanhood. Lu Ling was dressed fashionably, but she was different from other women who returned home. She did not dye her hair, nor did she wear colorful clothes. On the contrary, she had a mature and refreshing air around her. She looked even more beautiful than before. When Lu Yiwei saw Lu Ling's attire and actions, he felt that it would be difficult for his initial plan to come true. It was impossible for Lu Ling to return to this small place.
Along the way, Lu Ling did not speak much, and Lu Yiwei did not ask any questions. After crossing Liberation Road, they arrived home after another turn. His parents were already standing at the door, leaning against the railing and looking into the distance. When they saw Lu Yiwei's car, his mother, Liu Cuilan, leaned forward with tears welling up in her eyes. His father, Lu Weiguo, stood there like a towering tree. In fact, he had been waiting for his daughter's arrival.
In fact, Lu Yiwei had three siblings. Lu Yiwei was the eldest, Lu Ling was the youngest, and there was a son in the middle called Lu Yifeng. When Lu Yifeng was three years old, just before the New Year, his mother took him to the county to buy some things. There were many people on the street, and Liu Cuilan forgot about her youngest son when she was shopping. When she was done, she turned around and saw that her youngest son had already gone missing. She anxiously searched for him all over the city. Later, they called the police. They almost turned the entire Nanyang County upside down, but they still couldn't find him. The police told Lu Yiwei's family that Lu Yifeng might have been kidnapped and sold. Liu Cuilan couldn't accept the fact and was admitted to the hospital in a rage. That year, Lu Yiwei was five years old. He had some memories, but he clearly remembered that it was snowing heavily that winter. In the following days, the whole family searched crazily all over the country, but to no avail. Just like that, Lu Yifeng vanished from the face of the earth, becoming a mental illness for his parents.
Two years later, Lu Ling was born. It could be said that Liu Cuilan had poured her heart and soul into her daughter. She had doted on her since she was young, afraid that she would lose her again. However, Liu Cuilan couldn't accept the sudden separation five years ago. But her daughter had grown up, and she had to face reality.
In the past five years, too many things had happened in the family. It was as if God was punishing their family. Their son's career was not going well, their wife was separated, their daughter was working far away from home, and Lu Weiguo was seriously ill. If it weren't for Liu Cuilan's hard work, the family would probably have broken up.
Finally, the darkest days had passed. Lu Weiguo was cured, and Lu Yiwei's career had also improved. It was said that Lu Ling's life was also very smooth. The whole family once again saw the light of dawn.
Lu Yiwei said to Lu Ling, "What do you think of the new house I bought for my parents?"
Lu Ling leaned against the window and looked up and down carefully. She said with a little excitement, "It's so beautiful!"
The car stopped. Lu Weiguo and Liu Cuilan walked over with a smile. They opened the door for their daughter and crowded into the house. Lu Yiwei took out a suitcase from the trunk and followed them in.
Liu Cuilan was busy serving tea to her daughter. Lu Weiguo, on the other hand, was blushing. He sat on the sofa and smiled to himself. Lu Ling, on the other hand, looked around like a guest. She really needed a warm home.
Lu Yiwei sat next to him and lit a cigarette. Like his father, he didn't know where to start. After a simple greeting, Lu Ling asked, "Brother, when are you going to get married?"
Lu Yiwei's head was about to explode when marriage was mentioned again. He smiled. "There's no rush. When the conditions are right, success will come naturally. Everything depends on fate. As for you, what are your plans for the future? "
"What plans?" Lu Ling took a sip of water and asked in puzzlement.
Lu Yiwei looked at his father and said, "I've discussed it with my parents. We want you to come back. Your brother doesn't need to be like before. I have some money now, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to help you open a shop. "
Lu Ling suddenly smiled. "I think I'm doing pretty well now. Since I've already left, why should I come back? Don't worry about me. I'm doing well now. "
Lu Yiwei anxiously said, "Ling Ling, tell me the truth. What are you doing now? Every time we ask, you won't be clear about it. Mom and Dad are worried. "
Lu Ling put down the cup of water and said seriously, "Dad, Mom, Brother, I'll officially tell you. I used to work in a foreign company, but now, I've set up an advertising company."
"What? Advertising company? What does it do? "His mother couldn't wait to ask.
Lu Ling smiled and said, "Well, I can't explain it to you in a short time. You just need to know."
"Is it those advertisements that you see on the electric poles?" Lu Weiguo asked.
Lu Ling burst into laughter. "Dad, our advertising company doesn't do that. It's mainly outdoor advertisements. Forget it. You guys won't understand it anyway."
Lu Yiwei might not be involved in the advertising industry, but he knew a little about it. Thus, he asked worriedly, "You've set up your own company? Where will the money come from? "
"Brother, don't worry. My money is clean." Lu Ling seemed to be implying something from Lu Yiwei's tone.
Hearing Lu Ling's words, Lu Yiwei felt relieved and did not pursue the matter. He believed that this stubborn sister of his wouldn't easily step into the secular world.
Lu Ling continued, "I'll tell you the truth. I came to Guangzhou a few years ago, and I've suffered all sorts of hardships. I've been a dishwasher, assembly line worker, and even a nanny. But I don't want to live a mediocre life. When I was working, I signed up for a computer training class and accidentally joined a large advertising company. After a few years, I had a stable source of customers, so I went out with my current boyfriend. Our business grew bigger and bigger, and we still have some money left after paying off the loan. "
Hearing that his sister was more successful than him, Lu Yiwei felt ashamed of his inferiority. "Dad, Mom, and I are relieved that you're doing well. Since you have your own business, then do it well. When are you going to bring your boyfriend back? "
Hearing that her daughter had found a boyfriend, Liu Cuilan couldn't care less about the company. She pushed Lu Weiguo away and sat beside her daughter. She started interrogating his name, where he's from, how many people are there in his family, and what do his parents do …
The mother and daughter chatted endlessly, and Lu Weiguo and his son couldn't join in, so they got up and went to prepare lunch.
During lunch, Lu Ling took out a card from her bag and handed it to her father. "Dad, Mom, it's my fault that I haven't been by your side all these years. I don't know how to make it up to you. There's 100,000 yuan in this card. Take it. If it's not enough, I'll send you more. "
Hearing that there was 100,000 yuan in the card, Lu Weiguo was shocked speechless. "How much? 100,000 yuan? Oh my god. " During that era, 100,000 yuan meant a lot to a farmer. They probably couldn't even earn that much in their entire lives.
Hearing that Lu Ling was so generous, Lu Yiwei was also shocked. It was said that there was gold everywhere in Guangdong, and it was easy to earn money.
Lu Weiguo rejected sternly and pushed the card back to Lu Ling. "I don't want this money. How can I spend that much? Besides, we have your brother. He has earned some money over the years."
"What's his is his, and what's mine is mine." Lu Ling pushed the card back again. "I don't lack money now. Besides, my brother bought a house for you, and he didn't tell me about it. I have to take the money."
After pushing the card back and forth a few times, Lu Yiwei said, "Dad, your daughter is filial to you. Take it."
Lu Weiguo took the card and couldn't stop smiling. Seeing that his son and daughter were so successful, he didn't live in vain.
The topic unnaturally shifted to his youngest son, Lu Yifeng, who had been lost for more than 20 years. Liu Cuilan wiped her tears and said, "If Xiao Feng was here, our family would be so good. It's been more than 20 years. Xiao Feng should be 26 this year, right?"
