Chapter 18 Eating Meat
Over the years, in addition to Lu Shanmin practicing Tai Chi every morning, Dao Yi and Liu Ni also practice in the yard every morning. Dao Yi is most proud of having invented this set of 'radio gymnastics', which he said can strengthen the body.
She keeps improving her body and living longer every year, and she also boasts that if she practices well, she can fly into the sky and escape from the earth. For Liu Ni, she grew up following Dao Yi since she was a child. Practicing Tai Chi every day has long been a habit. As for the effects that Dao Yi said,
She didn't really believe it. The reason was very simple. Lao Huang was the miracle doctor in the village. If Tai Chi was so good, why didn't he practice it? And every time he saw Dao Yi practicing, Lao Huang's eyes were filled with contempt. The only thing that made her
Liu Ni believes that Tai Chi is also useful. This set of Tai Chi can help treat Lu Shanmin's illness. Even Lao Huang admits this.
An old man and a young man danced slowly in the yard with the breeze, the worn-out Daopo swayed slightly with the movement, and Xiao Nizi's braid also swayed gently with the girl's light figure.
"Girl, this Tai Chi game is just a child's exercise for Pindao. In fact, Grandpa Daoyi has many unique skills. If you smile at Pindao every day like you did to that brat Lu Shanmin, grandpa will teach them to you."
Liu Ni drew a circle with her left hand, raised her right hand above her head, stepped on Tai Chi with both feet, and said calmly, "Brother Shanmin hates your bragging the most. You said you can't change it now that you are so old."
Dao Yi pursed his lips, looked at the sky, and stepped on the seven stars, "If you open your mouth and shut your mouth, you are a mountain man brother. Isn't it numb? Grandpa tells you, you are still young and have never seen the world. If one day you leave this mountain
, you will realize how colorful the colorful world outside is, and those handsome guys are prettier than women, their words are sweeter than honey, and they are much better than that brat like Lu Shanmin."
Liu Ni rolled her eyes and said, "It's disgusting. You're prettier than a woman and your words are sweeter than honey. Can you still call me a man?"
Dao Yi squinted his eyes and smiled awkwardly, "I'm just making an analogy. In short, there are many men who are more handsome than Lu Shanmin, richer than Lu Shanmin, and more interesting than Lu Shanmin. When the time comes, when you look back at Lu Shanmin, he is just a
fart."
Liu Ni glared at Dao Yi fiercely, "No matter how good they are, they are not as good as my mountain man brother."
Dao Yi chuckled and said, "Remember what you said today, are you sure it won't change in the future?"
Liu Ni pursed her lips and said disdainfully, "You don't understand even if I tell you."
Dao Yi was almost unsteady on his feet by Liu Ni's words, "Master Dao, I have been traveling all over the country for decades. I remember when Pindao walked around the world, and all kinds of stunning women fell down under Pindao's Taoist robe. How dare you, a little girl, say
I don't understand."
Liu Ni slowly stopped her posture, guided Qi into her Dantian, exhaled the turbid air in her chest, raised her feet and walked straight into the house.
Dao Yi was stunned for a moment, and said to himself, "I seem to have gone off topic." Then he picked up the Taoist robe and chased after Liu Ni.
"Little girl, you really don't know how to learn Pindao's unique skills."
Liu Ni did not stop and said angrily, "I don't want to learn the tricks of being lazy, bragging, and picking my feet."
Daoyi stopped and sighed, "Hey, my little girl thinks about that stinky boy all the time. It's a pity that that stinky boy came to the city and met those witches with long legs and protruding legs. Sooner or later, he will destroy my family."
Xiao Nizi has been completely forgotten, how pitiful she is."
Liu Ni still didn't stop, she just said calmly, "Brother Shanmin is not a person like you."
Dao Yi was speechless for a moment and stamped his feet angrily, "Stop right here and tell me clearly, what kind of person am I?"
Zhang Li's work is already on track. Her workplace spans two districts. She has to get up before dawn every day to take the bus. I don't know whether it's because the work is hard when she first joined the job or because she doesn't have enough money and doesn't have good food. Her face has been dull these days.
Getting paler and paler.
After paying public funds, Zhang Li only had 500 yuan left. More than half a month had passed, and her pockets were already empty due to the bus fare and lunch expenses.
Although Lu Shanmin goes to bed late every day, firstly, he has been used to getting up early since he was a child to practice Tai Chi and calligraphy. Secondly, he has to buy the dishes of the 'Midnight Barbecue Restaurant' early. The requirements for barbecue dishes are very high. If he goes there late, he will not be able to buy fresh ones.
Food. So I got up earlier than Zhang Li.
Seeing Zhang Li come out of the bedroom, Lu Shanmin took out the 500 yuan he had prepared in advance from his bag and handed it to her.
Zhang Li was stunned for a moment, "Where did you get the money?"
"Yesterday I advanced a salary of 1,000 yuan to Uncle Hai."
Zhang Li's eyes were slightly red. This stubborn girl always gritted her teeth and persisted in the face of various blows and never shed tears. At this moment, she felt the urge to cry. No matter how strong she was, she was still only a twenty-two-year-old girl.
A 20-year-old girl, both her parents were laid off when she was a child. Her father failed in his business with the buyout salary and committed suicide by jumping off a building. Her mother turned gray overnight and worked part-time to support the family since high school. When her classmates of the same age were still acting coquettishly and irritated around their parents, she had already learned how to do it.
Force a smile.
There was no rejection, no thanks, but he took the money from Lu Shanmin's hand with trembling hands, rushed out of the door, ran downstairs and ran through the alley, letting his tears float in the wind. Lu Shanmin stood in front of the window, looking at
Looking at Zhang Li's back, a flash of pain flashed through my heart.
After delivering the food at the "Midnight BBQ Restaurant", Lu Shanmin went back to the rental house to catch up on her sleep. When she woke up, Huang Mei had not left the bedroom. During this period, she submitted a lot of resumes online, but they all came to nothing. In addition, she was empty, and her mood was...
She became more and more depressed day by day and completely turned into a homebody. She slept until noon every day and submitted resumes in the afternoon. She became more and more inclined to give up on herself.
After Chen Kun was hit, he never left his bedroom except for going to the bathroom and eating. Especially when Zhang Li was around, he didn't even want to come out to eat. Lu Shanmin didn't know what he was thinking after he locked himself up for a week.
What.
Putting on his apron, Lu Shanmin started to make lunch. The four people under the roof had not eaten meat for a long time. In this era, I am afraid not many people would believe it, but in fact, there are many things you have never seen or heard.
Doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Lu Shanmin bought two kilograms of meat today. Since then, he has been eating at home and walking on his legs, and the more than 200 yuan he had with him has not been spent much.
Maybe it was noon, maybe she smelled the aroma of meat, but at some point, Huang Mei was already standing in the kitchen with disheveled hair.
During lunch, the three of them devoured their food so voraciously that they wanted to put their tongues in their stomachs. These two college students, who usually ate quite politely, were eating more rudely than Lu Shanmin, an out-and-out mountain man.
Ever since Chen Kun was deceived, the atmosphere in the entire rental house has been shrouded in dark clouds. There is no longer Huang Mei's chirping at the dinner table, and there is no more Chen Kun's bragging. Lu Shanmin secretly smiled bitterly, and suddenly missed Chen Kun's treatment of him in the past.
Intentional or unintentional sarcasm.
The three of them had a tacit understanding and left some meat for Zhang Li to eat when she came back in the evening. These days, the four of them did not share the same joys, but they actually shared the hardships.
After dinner, Lu Shanmin gave Huang Mei 500 yuan. She was probably running out of ammunition and food. Huang Mei didn't ask where the money came from, nor did she refuse. She stuffed the money into her bag and returned with her fluffy hair.
