Lu Yiwei took out his wallet from his coat and placed a bank card before Li Shu-man. "There's ¥20,000 in here, and the password is Xiao Yu's birthday. Take it first, and I will transfer money into it regularly. Don't be reluctant to spend it. You can rent the house first, and I will buy a house for the two of you when I have the money in the second half of the year. "
Li Shu-man's eyes were filled with emotions as he returned the bank card to Lu Yiwei and choked, "I don't lack money, so you can take it back. I know that you need money now, and you still need to invest in the orchard. "
Lu Yiwei insisted on shoving the bank card into Li Shu-man's hand. "You don't have to worry about that. Furthermore, the money from the orchard isn't even enough to buy saplings."
Li Shu-man refused once again, which made Lu Yiwei lose his temper. "Since I'm asking you to take it, then take it. Why are you being so courteous with me? Xiao Yu has grown up in the blink of an eye, and there are many things that she needs money for. "
A drop of tear fell on the bank card as Li Shu-man's eyes were filled with regret and reluctance. He tightly held onto the bank card. It was familial love.
Lu Yiwei also felt terrible in his heart as he adjusted his emotions. "I'll be busy during this period, and I'll visit you guys in a few days. Take good care of yourself. Your arm hasn't fully recovered, so don't do any heavy work. If you don't feel like cooking, go to a restaurant. If you're doing heavy work, hire someone to help … "
Before Lu Yiwei could finish, Li Shu-man could no longer control his emotions and pounced over, hugging Lu Yiwei tightly. Lu Yiwei was shocked and was at a loss.
Li Shu-man sobbed, "Yiwei, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Please forgive me. Don't worry, I will take good care of Xiao Yu, raise her up, and try to send her abroad to study. Please believe me. "
Lu Yiwei was infected by Li Shu-man. His hand that was suspended in the air slowly rested on Li Shu-man's back. He gently stroked it twice and said, "Shu-man, don't be too hard on yourself. If you meet the right person, just marry him. There's still a long way to go …"
"No!" Li Shu-man quickly shook his head and said: "No, I won't. My heart is already dead, there is no room for anyone else in my heart. I plan to depend on Xiao Yu in the future. If she can grow up healthy, I'll be satisfied. "
Lu Yiwei didn't know how to persuade him, so he said, "We'll talk about this later. I'll still say the same thing, don't make things difficult for yourself."
Li Shu-man was sobbing uncontrollably. He bit his lips and said, "Yiwei, in this life, I've decided that you're the one. You'll always be a part of the family."
Lu Yiwei nodded his head heavily.
At this time, Liu Cuilan returned with Xiao Yu. Li Shu-man hurriedly let go of Lu Yiwei. He tidied up his messy hair and wiped his tears. Seeing Xiao Yu returning happily, a warm smile appeared on his face.
Lu Yiwei pulled Xiao Yu into his embrace and rubbed his cheek against her. Blood is thicker than water. This sentence can only be expressed vividly when they say goodbye.
Xiao Yu didn't know what was about to happen. Seeing Lu Yiwei's worried face, she pouted and asked, "Daddy, what's wrong?"
Lu Yiwei hurriedly hid his expression and smiled, "Daddy is fine. Daddy is happy to see you. Xiao Yu is about to start school. Tell daddy, what do you want? "
Xiao Yu pretended to think and suddenly said, "I don't want anything. I just want daddy to be with me every day."
In an instant, the atmosphere in the room froze. Liu Cuilan covered her face and turned to the side. Li Shu-man stared at Lu Yiwei. Lu Yiwei was stunned for a long time before he said, "Xiao Yu, daddy still needs to work. I promise I will visit you often in the future, okay?"
Xiao Yu didn't understand the world of adults. He blinked his eyes and asked, "Then daddy will still bring me to the zoo to see the monkeys?"
"Yes." Lu Yiwei nodded his head and promised.
"There is also the merry-go-round at the amusement park, and the dolphin show at the aquarium …" Xiao Yu listed.
Lu Yiwei planned to spend more time with Xiao Yu tonight. So, he suggested the whole family to eat at a restaurant. Li Shu-man didn't object. Liu Cuilan said, "I think we should eat at home. There are dumplings. Xiao Yu likes them."
Xiao Yu immediately jumped out of Lu Yiwei's arms and said happily, "Okay, okay. I like dumplings."
Liu Cuilan took Xiaoyu to the kitchen to get busy. Old Master Lu came in from the outside with a lot of things in his arms. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Xiaoyu, look at what grandpa bought for you."
Xiao Yu saw a lot of toys on the table. He danced excitedly and stood on a stool to play with them. Lu Weiguo played with his grandson. There were fewer wrinkles on his face than usual.
Except for Xiao Yu, everyone in the family knew what was going to happen. They were careful during the meal. They deliberately avoided the topic of parting and focused on Xiao Yu's life. The meal was joyful and harmonious.
They had to part after all. When Li Shu-man wanted to go back, Liu Cuilan hugged Xiao Yu's left cheek and kissed his right cheek. She couldn't bear to part with him. Grandfather Lu didn't want to see this scene. He didn't see them off. Instead, he locked himself in the bedroom and hid in the quilt to sulk.
Lu Yiwei drove Li Shu-man and Xiao Yu home. The moment he entered the door, he suddenly had an impulse to try to save this lost marriage and give Xiao Yu a complete family. But the door filled with the secular world mercilessly shut him out.
After seeing Xiao Yu off, Lu Yiwei was in a bad mood. He drove around the county town. At this moment, he wanted to find someone to talk to and get drunk. For some reason, Xia Jinhe suddenly popped up in his mind. After thinking about it again and again, he finally made up his mind. He parked the car, took out his phone, found a number, and dialed it. When the other party beeped, Lu Yiwei felt that something was wrong and hurriedly hung up.
At this moment, Xia Jinhe was sitting in front of her desk in the dormitory, deep in thought. When she heard the phone next to her ring, she hurriedly picked it up. When she saw that it was Lu Yiwei, she was in a good mood. Just as she was about to answer the call, the other party had already ruthlessly hung up, which disappointed Xia Jinhe.
Xia Jinhe's appearance was very traditional. She had willowy eyebrows, a small nose, and a cherry mouth. Coupled with her fair skin and gentle, melancholy expression, if she were to dress up in an ancient costume, lean against the railings and look into the distance, play the zither, and play the clouds, the mountains and rivers, the sky and the earth, the morning and evening, the morning and the sunset, she would be like a woman from Jiangnan wandering in the rainy alley, graceful and moving.
In addition, Xia Jinhe had a background of studying abroad. She had received a Western-style education. With a combination of Chinese and Western, she appeared to be both internal and external. However, such a beautiful and outstanding woman had given up the generous treatment in a big city and chosen a small third-tier city like Bei Zhou City. Everyone's fate had long been predetermined. If Lu Yiwei had chosen to stay in Jiangdong, things might have turned out differently now.
There was no factual basis for the concept of fate in Marxist philosophy. Instead, it had always been sublated and discarded. It was a typical idealism. For the Chinese who were deeply influenced by Buddhism, Taoism, and the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, philosophy was nothing more than a category. What touched the soul was the real thing. Some inexplicable simple philosophies had influenced people from generation to generation.
Mr. Ma's philosophy traveled across the ocean to an ancient civilization with a history of 5,000 years. He tried to change the fate of the feudal peasant class with his own set of working-class thinking. What changed was the political class, but what remained unchanged was always faith.
What was faith? It was the root of a nation. Where was the root? It was in people's hearts.
Xia Jinhe was a very rational woman. When she first met Lu Yiwei, she was not moved by his handsome appearance. However, after further contact, she realized that there was something different about Lu Yiwei. She could not tell what it was exactly.
After a period of unbearable love, Xia Jinhe no longer believed in love and rejected many crazy suitors. Just last year, a college classmate traveled thousands of miles from the United States to China and created a romantic proposal show on the campus of Bei Zhou University. However, Xia Jinhe was not confused by the scene in front of her. Instead, she was unusually calm and ignored the American guy. Since then, Xia Jinhe had been given the nickname "Ice Beauty." Her classmates were also deeply impressed by the crazy behavior of the foreigner. Since then, they all imitated her, and it was tried and tested.
Xia Jinhe's "coldness" was only on the surface. Her heart had always been as warm as spring. Especially after Lu Yiwei entered her life, the fire of love was reignited. It burned more and more fiercely, and she could not control herself.
Lu Yiwei's call made her even more uneasy. She picked up the phone again and again and stared at the screen without blinking. Unfortunately, the phone did not ring again.
"Maybe I called the wrong number." Xia Jinhe comforted herself. After thinking it through, she threw the phone aside, put on the headset, and continued to read. After reading for less than two minutes, she glanced at the phone again. She was tormented by the torment. Finally, she picked up the phone and dialed.
Lu Yiwei was casually enjoying the night view in the distance by the bridge. He heard the phone screen on the passenger seat jumping. He leaned over to take a look and saw that Xia Jinhe had actually called back. He did not hesitate to pick up the phone.
After the call was connected, Xia Jinhe did not know what to say. She remained silent and waited for the other party to speak.
Seeing that Xia Jinhe did not speak, Lu Yiwei had to bite the bullet and said, "Professor Xia, are you asleep?"
"No, I'm reading. Can I discuss something with you? "Xia Jinhe said.
Lu Yiwei was puzzled and said, "What is it?"
"Can you not call me Professor Xia in the future? It's awkward. Just call me Jinhe."
Lu Yiwei was still not used to it. He smiled and said, "Okay, whatever you think is appropriate."
There was another silence. Lu Yiwei broke the deadlock and said, "I hope I'm not disturbing your reading now."
Xia Jinhe moved to the window and looked at the waning lights outside. He said, "It's fine. I don't plan to read anymore. What about you? What are you doing?"
Lu Yiwei said, "I don't have anything to do. I was wandering outside alone and wanted to find someone to talk to. Then I thought of you. I was afraid that I would disturb your rest, so I hung up in a hurry."
Hearing this, Xia Jinhe was secretly happy and said, "I'm also free. I can accompany you to chat."
Lu Yiwei swept away his unhappiness and said excitedly, "Okay, I'll come over now."
"Hello …" Before Xia Jinhe could finish speaking, Lu Yiwei had already hung up the phone and drove to the city.
