It was already midnight when Lu Wensheng showed up at Lu Xie's house with two thousand five hundred yuan.

Lu Xie was stunned the moment he saw so much money:

"No, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"

Lu Wensheng didn't say anything. He picked up the kettle on the table and drank it all. After catching his breath, he spoke:

"Partnership, big business. Any more water?"

Lu Xie looked at the empty kettle on the table and couldn't help muttering:

"Are you a bucket spirit?"

As he spoke, he stood up and went to the kitchen to pour water for the little ancestor.

"I came here on horseback. I was so thirsty after running all the way."

Lu Wensheng followed him into the kitchen and filled the empty water tank with spiritual spring water.

Then he took the kettle that Lu Xie had just filled and drank it all, and only then did he feel alive again.

When Lu Xie saw her like this, he thought she came here on her legs!

"How come you're so thirsty coming from a horse?"

"I ate too much salt tonight. Where's Grandpa?"

"That room is sleeping!"

"Oh, I came here to tell you something, but I have to go back later!"

"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry? Why come here so late at night?"

When he first saw her, Lu Xie thought something had happened to the Ping'an Brigade and was very worried about himself.

Lu Wensheng didn't keep him in suspense any longer and told him what they had discussed in the afternoon. He then pointed to the main hall and said:

"That money is collected by the few of us. If it's not enough, you can add more."

"Okay, I'll get you a mimeograph machine and paper tomorrow."

Lu Xie agreed without hesitation, and followed the lead of Sheng Sheng, saying whatever he wanted.

Although this matter happened suddenly, since Shengsheng had given the order, of course we had to do it. Not only did we have to do it, but we had to do it clearly and beautifully.

"You don't even ask me where the news came from and whether it's reliable?"

Lu Wensheng asked in confusion, because she told Lu Xie that the higher authorities would notify them in October this year to resume the college entrance examination.

Lu Xie didn't expect that he would be wrong if he didn't ask. He was stunned for a moment and waved his hand:

"Why do I know so much? The old man said, no matter what, I will do whatever you say. If you want money, you can take it. If you want life, you can take two small pieces."

He has already changed his surname to Lu, so how can he still be hurt by this?

It's so troublesome to ask so many questions. Just let her do what she says.

Lu Wensheng didn't expect him to say this. If her uncle hadn't written her a letter not long ago complaining about Lu Xie running away, she really wouldn't have known that he had returned.

Since the beginning of this spring, after Lu Xie sold himself to Chen Cheng for a pot of spiritual spring water, he packed his small bag and followed him to the capital for two months, looking back every few steps.

I don’t know why I sneaked back from Beijing recently, and the only thing I know is that I’m tired!

Lu Xie: Wouldn't it be tiring to follow Chen Cheng around all day? It's not as comfortable as staying in my small county town.

However, after two years of hard work, Chen Cheng and Wang Er have basically established a firm foothold in the north of the city. Although they are still doing their old business, Chen Cheng is now a man with modern thinking, and of course he still wants to lead everyone onto the right path.

"But now is not the time."

Chen Cheng flipped through the calendar. Shengsheng will be back next year, so he has to work hard.

As time became more and more urgent, Lu Xie had to deal with it a lot.

Unable to bear being exploited to this extent, Lu Xie finally escaped from the cage woven for him with golden threads by Chen Cheng on a dark and windy night and plunged into the warm embrace of his great Northeast.

"Are you still going to Beijing?" Lu Wensheng asked, deciding to skip this topic.

"No, no, no, why would he need me when Old Cheng is here?" Lu Xie shook his head like a rattle. He didn't want to go and suffer.

Besides, Shengsheng is still here, and he has to stay here to protect her.

Lu Wensheng nodded, thought about it and finally told her own plan:

"I plan to apply to Huaqing University and stay in Beijing. Besides, I think the teacher will be able to return to Beijing in a while. If you can go back, you can take care of him more.

You know, his situation is special, even if he goes back, some people will dislike him, are you really confident that the old man can face those malicious people in the city by himself?"

Lu Xie understood that Sheng Sheng’s visit to him this time was fake to sell him review materials, and her real purpose was to persuade him to return to Beijing.

"Okay, I'll listen to you and go to Beijing with the teacher."

Lu Wensheng smiled and nodded: "I know that Uncle Xiaoxie loves me the most!"

If Uncle Xiaoxie can really go, he will be able to devote more energy to other things, and it's time to do that thing.

The two chatted for a while before Lu Wensheng rode away, leaving his words at the door:

"When Uncle Xiaoxie is waiting for you to go, remember to dig an underground secret room in the yard of Chao Shou Hutong. You must take these treasures from our family with you!"

"Okay, be careful."

"Well, let's go!"
