Chapter 316 Listing
To get from Shihua Village to Yu'an City, you need to first transfer to an oxcart, then take a bus to the county, and finally a long-distance bus from the county to the city.
Once in the city, you need to transfer to two more buses to get to Lu Yuanhuan's home.
Lu Yuanqing leaned against the wall and slowly squatted down.
"Brother, have some water!" Lu Yuanbo handed him the water bottle he was carrying.
Lu Yuanqing took the kettle in frustration, rinsed his mouth a few times, and then swallowed a few mouthfuls.
Lu Yuanbo wasn't idle either. He pulled an orange out of his pocket, peeled it quickly, and casually placed the peel under Lu Yuanqing's nose.
Sudden.
The smell of orange peel made me feel less upset.
Lu Yuanqing stood up, a forced smile on his pale face, and said, "After all these years, my motion sickness hasn't changed at all."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but curse the system in his mind. After all these years, it still hadn't given him any motion sickness medicine or anything.
Who knew that the original body would be so terrible!
For someone who never gets carsick, taking a car ride is now a complete disaster.
Lu Yuanbo nodded in agreement, "In our family, you're the only one who gets carsick. Maybe it's because we don't get carsick that we give all the benefits to you."
Otherwise, how could she have fainted so badly?
Lu Yuanqing: "..." It can't be that unlucky!
"Okay, I'm fine now. Let's go to Xiaohuan's house first and see if she's home!"
“Okay!” Lu Yuanbo naturally did not object.
The house that was originally bought for Lu Yuanhuan and Lu Mingxi belongs to Lu Yuanhuan, and his family has been living there ever since.
On the contrary, the house that was supposed to be given to Lu Mingxi was one that she moved into the Wei family home after marrying Wei Ye and never lived there again.
Of course, she didn't rent out the house to earn rent.
One reason is that she's not short of money right now, and another is that she's thinking of keeping the house so that Lu Yuanqing and the others will have a place to stay when they come to the city.
She gave a key to her house to Lu Yuanqing.
But Lu Yuanqing refused.
He had no idea when he would come to the city.
In addition, he suffers from motion sickness and doesn't want to take a car to the city or other places that are relatively far away.
Aside from the fact that he had to come to the city, he didn't want to leave Shihua Village for the time being.
What if I give him the key and he accidentally loses it?
Since he wouldn't accept the key, Lu Mingxi had no choice but to give it to Lu Yuanhuan.
The two houses are separated, which makes it convenient for Lu Yuanqing and his family to go directly to Lu Yuanhuan's place to get the keys after they come to the city.
Lu Yuanqing was able to come to the city this time because Lu Mingxi wrote a letter asking him to come.
It's possible that Lu Mingxi knew Lu Yuanqing would definitely come to the city as soon as he heard about that matter, so he had already made arrangements with Lu Yuanhuan.
Nowadays, transportation is not very convenient, and the way to get from Shihua Village to the city is limited and fixed.
Having long been familiar with this, Lu Yuanhuan naturally knew the approximate time when Lu Yuanqing would arrive in the city.
So when Lu Yuanbo knocked on Lu Yuanhuan's door, he thought no one was home, but he was surprised to hear a delighted sound from inside.
"Is that Third Brother or Fourth Brother?"
"Little sister, it's me and my brother!" Lu Yuanbo shouted into the room.
The courtyard gate was immediately opened from the inside.
"Third Brother, Fourth Brother!" Lu Yuanhuan exclaimed in surprise.
Lu Yuanqing smiled at her, "At home today? Not at work?"
As Lu Yuanhuan welcomed them into his home, he smiled and replied, "Last night, Xiao Xi came to tell me that you might come to the city, so I took the afternoon off today and am waiting for you at home."
"Third Brother, sit down for a moment. I specially made chicken soup for you at noon. Are you hungry? Let me go and ladle a bowl of chicken soup for you."
After Lu Yuanhuan finished speaking, without waiting for Lu Yuanqing to say anything, she hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
Lu Yuanbo was not one to stand on ceremony, and he didn't stand on ceremony with his sister either. As soon as he heard there was chicken soup, he hurriedly followed Lu Yuanhuan.
He was no longer the Lu Yuanbo who would crave food so much when he was a child.
Even without drinking chicken soup, he felt comforted by his own sister's kind intentions.
A moment later, Lu Yuanqing stared blankly at the large bowl in front of him, which contained chicken legs and various good cuts of meat from the chicken.
Lu Yuanbo paused for a moment, then said, "I can eat whatever I want, but I'll save these chicken legs for the kids."
Lu Yuanhuan smiled and said, "Why save it! This is what I cooked for you. They eat it often, so they don't need this little bit of food."
After she finished speaking, she met the suspicious gazes of Lu Yuanqing and Lu Yuanbo.
Lu Yuanhuan said helplessly, "I really haven't mistreated your nephews."
The suspicion on their faces lessened somewhat, but it didn't completely disappear.
Lu Yuanhuan was speechless. "Third Brother, I'm quite willing to spend money now, and my cooking is very different from before."
Please, she's been frugal with her cooking for years, so why are Lu Yuanqing and the others still worried that she'll continue with that habit?
“My family was poor before. Even though my third brother made a lot of money later, I still haven’t forgotten the most difficult years for my family. I’m really scared! Even though there’s a lot of meat hanging in the house, and I can still see that pile of meat above my head when I cook every day, I’m worried that once the meat is gone, my family will go through those difficult years again.”
"Times have changed, I don't need to worry..."
Lu Yuanhuan, both amused and exasperated, explained why she used to be frugal when cooking.
It's not that she's stingy, it's that she's genuinely afraid.
Now she can earn money and has money on her, although the idea of being frugal has always followed her since she was a child.
But she wouldn't deprive her children of food just to save a little of what she could afford!
Lu Yuanqing held the large bowl, took a sip of the warm and delicious chicken soup, put down the bowl, and sighed, "Those years were so tough!"
He had never experienced such a life; when he arrived, the famine had just passed.
Although I suffered a little, it was nothing compared to the suffering in the original owner's memories.
"Yeah! Brother, do you remember when we ran out of food and you were so upset about Mom, Dad, brother, and sister-in-law? You really scared me." Lu Yuanbo said, munching on a chicken leg.
Lu Yuanqing: "..." Can this guy change his old habit of digging up other people's dark history?
How could he forget? On his very first day at work, he was unwittingly mocked by this guy.
"What are you so scared of? You're the one who scared me! That bowl of wild vegetable water of yours almost sent me straight to see my parents!"
"Pah, pah, pah! That's bad luck, don't say it!"
Before Lu Yuanqing could react, Lu Yuanbo became nervous.
Lu Yuanhuan seemed to recall the scene from that time as well, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Back then, my family was poor. Every day, I was constantly worrying about what to eat, what to eat next, and what to eat tomorrow. My mind was always preoccupied with what to eat! Haha!"
“Absolutely!” Lu Yuanbo agreed wholeheartedly. “It seems that besides what to eat, all they care about is what’s available to eat.”
"I was so hungry that I almost ate dirt when I went to work."
