After Lu Ming said those words, the car immediately became quiet. Mrs. Lu wept silently, and Mr. Lu sighed and looked out the window.
The wind was very cold at night in late October, and Zhen Zhen was still shivering from the cold even though she was wearing a coat.
Lu Ming clicked his tongue, took off his coat and put it on her as a blanket. Mr. Lu didn't say anything. He carried Zhen Zhen into the hospital and checked everything from pediatric orthopedics to pediatric neurosurgery in detail.
The head injury did not touch the nerves, but the right hand was fractured and needed to be fixed in a plaster cast and will be reviewed in a week.
"It's great that you can endure it until now!" The doctor praised Zhen Zhen with a smile while putting the plaster on.
"How long will it take to recover? Will it affect future arm movements?" Mrs. Lu was worried.
"No, her injury is relatively minor, and the child's healing ability is good. Normally she can recover in four to six weeks."
"That's good."
The four of them stayed in the hospital for almost two hours to get it done, and it was already nine o'clock when they came out. Zhen Zhen wanted to sleep, but the injured area felt as if needles were pricking her.
Since she didn't eat dinner and was injured, the kitchen received a call from Mrs. Lu and made fish soup in advance and waited.
Zhen Zhen reluctantly ate less than half a bowl of porridge. After going upstairs, Wu Ma helped her take a bath and slept with her to prevent her from bumping into the injured area in the middle of the night.
The next day, Tongtong heard that she was injured and made a fuss to come over.
Although Tongtong often competes with her for toys, he thinks he is a man and cannot bully his injured sister, so he gives way to her everywhere.
Of course, she will also try her best to blow rainbow farts, wishing she could praise Tongtong to the fullest. Tongtong was very happy, and the result was to feed her.
She really shot herself in the foot. In order to divert Tongtong's attention, she suggested eating with her left hand in a competition to see who could eat more.
Tongtong became excited when he heard about the competition. He held the chopsticks in his left hand and smacked his head while eating without even raising his head in the middle.
Zhen Zhen praised him for being great and knowing many things, and she wanted to be like him.
Mrs. Lu smiled and asked her what she wanted to learn?
She wanted to reply: everything about food, clothing, housing and transportation!
Lu Ming took the initiative to leave the room yesterday, indicating that he might get better, which means that he will complete the task in the near future.
In order not to waste the resources of the richest granddaughter, she must work hard to learn survival skills before completing the task. Who knows whether the next world will be in ancient times or ancient societies, or in times of war...
However, no matter where we go, human beings cannot do without food, clothing, housing and transportation. Rather than studying art, she would rather learn skills to make a living.
"Grandma, I want to learn to make clothes!"
"Learn to make clothes? What a great idea."
Mrs. Lu specially found a teacher to teach Zhen Zhen how to make clothes. The teacher's surname was Liu. He mainly taught Zhen Zhen through entertaining and cultivating her interests.
Teacher Liu is only in her twenties, gentle and kind. She thought she was a well-paid childcare nanny, but she didn’t expect that children have a lot of problems. For example, where does cloth come from? How to dye? How did ancient people make clothes...
For the sake of her salary, Teacher Liu would answer Zhen Zhen seriously no matter how boring questions she asked. If you can’t answer the question, then look up information online or even make clothes specifically for her.
From buying cloth to dyeing it to tailoring it.
A week passed quickly. On the day Zhenzhen went to the hospital for a follow-up visit, Lu Ming deliberately made time for her, which made her feel flattered.
But when she saw Lu Ming, she suddenly remembered the investigation. So before setting off, I asked Wu’s mother if Lu Ming had been injured when he was a child.
Wu Ma sighed silently and said: "Master Lu Ming once fell down the stairs of the school. His arm was seriously injured and the little finger of his left hand was broken. Unfortunately, when he needed the company of his parents the most, both the master and his wife were very busy..."
Wu Ma said that Lu Ming’s personality changed drastically after he was injured.
Do not know why? She always felt that things were not that simple.
It is already very cold in Yuncheng in November. Pedestrians on the street wear thick clothes. The sky is overcast and it occasionally rains. Whenever it rains, cold wind blows from all directions.
Zhen Zhen stayed in the villa this week and felt nothing. When she got to the hospital, she suddenly realized that winter had really arrived.
The doctor said she was recovering well and the cast would be removed in two weeks.
Lu Ming sent her and Wu Ma home before leaving. He was busy setting up a game company during this time. Lu Zhiping was afraid that her brother would be tricked, so she specially found two reliable people to help.
When Zhen Zhen saw his car disappearing from sight, she immediately ran to find the housekeeper. According to Wu’s mother, the housekeeper knows best about Lu Ming’s childhood.
"What do you want to know, Miss Zhenzhen?" The housekeeper wore glasses and had a kind smile.
"I want to know what kind of person my father was like when he was a child?" Zhen Zhen blinked her innocent eyes.
"I remember there are several photo albums. Miss Zhenzhen, please wait a moment."
"Thank you, Grandpa Butler."
In the story about the housekeeper, Lu Ming was lively and cheerful before he was nine years old, loved to laugh and make trouble, and was a bit arrogant, but he would listen to other people's opinions.
However, after being injured, he rarely smiled and his personality became increasingly irritable. My wife and my husband sought treatment from a psychiatrist, but to no avail.
Sure enough, what happened during the time when you were injured?
This question has always troubled Zhen Zhen. Few people know about it, or even if they know, no one will tell it.
In December, Zhen Zhen had her cast removed and her right hand slowly returned to normal. It's a pity that for so long, she still couldn't find out the truth.
Later, Lu Zhiping brought Tongtong over to play and accidentally mentioned the past to Mrs. Lu, so she pricked up her ears and eavesdropped.
Mrs. Lu said that Lu Ming still hates them until now.
Lu Zhiping said that it was the parents who did something wrong in the first place. Since they have not apologized or corrected themselves, why should they ask their children to forgive?
When Lu Ming was nine years old, he fell down the stairs at school and his head was covered in blood. He thought he was going to die, so he called his parents to say his last words. Unfortunately, one said he was busy and the other said he would wait a moment and hung up the phone.
When he woke up from the hospital, the Internet was full of videos of his father checking into a room with a female star, and photos of his mother and an actor kissing passionately in the car.
He didn't believe it at first until he witnessed his father having an affair with another woman at home, and his mother dragging a strange man into the room.
In the past, he always felt that his father was serious and his mother pursued perfection, so she had strict requirements on him and his sister. Unexpectedly, for those two people, children are just accessories of marriage.
From then on, whenever his parents' hands touched Lu Ming, he would always vomit violently, and Mr. Lu even hired a psychiatrist to intervene.
Zhen Zhen couldn't imagine how desperate Lu Ming was at that time, and she couldn't help but feel heartbroken just listening to it.
Lu Ming came back in the evening, exhausted and full of alcohol. Starting a business was not as simple as he imagined.
"Dad, I had a nightmare. I dreamed that a scary big tiger was going to bite me." Zhen Zhen appeared outside Lu Ming's door holding a pillow.
"You can only talk properly when you need me. Forget it, I heard that you are learning to make clothes recently, how is your learning going?" Lu Ming had just finished taking a bath, wrapped in pajamas and wiped his hair carelessly.
"I know how to grow mulberry and raise silkworms. Silk can be used to weave cloth, and cloth can be dyed into various colors to make clothes." Zhen Zhen climbed onto Lu Ming's bed.
Lu Ming is a person who loves to enjoy himself. His bed is very big and elegant, and the quilt and pillows are all imported bedding.
"It's pretty good." Lu Ming rubbed her hair.
"Dad, as long as you don't do bad things, I will help you make clothes. How about we hook up?"
"Tsk, can I wear the clothes you made?"
"Of course. Do you know who was the first person to grow mulberry and raise silkworms? Her name is Lei Zu, and there is an idiom called Lei Zu's first silkworm..." Zhen Zhen fell asleep as she spoke.
Lu Ming looked at the small group of people holding his twisted little finger, and the empty heart seemed to be slowly filled with something, and the night became no longer difficult.
