Reborn to his campus days, Lu Yuanqiu was looking after his family's supermarket when he noticed a clear-faced, beautiful girl shoplifting items from the shelves on the security monitor.

Chapter 998 Goodbye (Bonus Chapter)
November 8, 2023, is the Beginning of Winter.
A message had just appeared in the WeChat group when it caused an immediate uproar among everyone.
Xu Siyang: Ahem, everyone, I have some good news to announce. Cao Cao and I are getting married on the 26th of this month, and the wedding will be held in her hometown.
Song Fenfang: Damn it, this is what you meant by having something to do at home?!
Zhong Jincheng: ?
Liang Jingfeng: Are you two imitating me and Zhiyu? I'm warning you, my crotch still hurts, watch out for that woman.
"Liu Wangchun": Got it, Cao Cao also wants to experience my Dragon Claw Hand. [Angry]
Liang Jingfeng: Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives.
Zhang Yang: They must be torn to pieces! The men should be thrown into Antarctica, and the women into the Arctic.
Bai Qingxia: [Black guy with a question mark]
Su Miaomiao: @Bai Qingxia, you don't know either?
Bai Qingxia: I don't know ^_^
Long Liandong: It's not too late, I'll be back next week.
Chi Caocao: Welcome everyone!
Chicaocao: I'm leaving first.
A minute later, Bai Qingxia heard Lu Yuanqiu, who was lying on the bed in the bedroom, exclaim "Holy shit!" from the living room.
This slow-witted man.
"Holy crap!" Lu Yanhe, sitting next to his mother, exclaimed in surprise. Bai Qingxia frowned and gently tapped her son's head: "Learn more from your father's good points."
Lu Yanhe looked up: "Mom, Wang Zixuan said he wants your WeChat."
"You gave it to him?" Bai Qingxia asked curiously as her son stuffed the peeled chestnuts into Lu Yanhe's mouth.
Lu Yuanqiu came out of the bedroom, scratching his belly, and said, "Tell him to get lost. He's so young and already not learning anything good."
Bai Qingxia turned around and looked at her husband helplessly: "Speak more gently, you've corrupted our son."
Lu Yuanqiu sat down and asked his son, "What did you say to him?"
Lu Yanhe: "I'll send him to his death."
"Hey." Lu Yuanqiu pointed at his son, looked at his speechless wife, snatched a chestnut from her hand and stuffed it into his mouth, winking with a smile: "Now say it again, who's worse between us?"
Bai Qingxia raised her hand and pushed his head, saying irritably, "I learned it from you, I learned it all from you."
"Including that matter?"
Lu Yuanqiu's neck snapped back like a spring, and he looked at her meaningfully.
Bai Qingxia knew what he was talking about.
Lu Tian had already shown the two of them the video footage from the supermarket. They were utterly shocked. The "including that incident" that Lu Yuanqiu mentioned referred to the way his son had taken the girl by the hand and led her to the warehouse to "educate" her.
Bai Qingxia's eyes twitched when she saw this. Shouldn't a normal person pretend not to see it? Why do the father and son look so alike?
"Shut up," she threatened with her eyes.
Even a six-year-old is gentler than you were back then; at least Yan Yan held the girl's hand as they went in.
However, considering how the two children got along like good friends afterward, it's safe to assume that the atmosphere between them in the warehouse that day must have been very harmonious.
"Uh, we've really gone a bit off-topic. What I wanted to say was that those two actually got married without saying a word..."
Lu Yuanqiu waved his hand in front of her, then suddenly froze, as if he had run out of power. Bai Qingxia was turning her head to look at him curiously when Lu Yuanqiu suddenly roared without warning, startling her so much that she closed her eyes, her neatly tied long hair falling messily over her face, and the chestnuts she was peeling fell into the trash can because of her violent shaking.
"Hahaha, Mom was scared by me! Hahaha!" Lu Yuanqiu glanced at Bai Qingxia and then said to his son, laughing so hard he almost fell over.
Lu Yanhe remained expressionless, because he was also frightened.
Even after Bai Qingxia finished fixing her hair and looked at him expressionlessly, Lu Yuanqiu was still laughing, seemingly unable to stop. He even knelt down laughing, but when he looked up, the smile on his face immediately disappeared, and he quickly apologized: "Wife, I'm sorry, I was just trying to lighten the mood."
"?"
At 30 years old, she still reacts so quickly; Bai Qingxia had only just reached for the clothes rack her son was offering her.
...
On the 25th.
Lu Yuanqiu and his companion first met up with Zheng Yifeng and Zhong Jincheng. The children were left with their grandfather, as the journey to their destination was quite arduous and it would be inconvenient to bring the children along.
The six of them deliberately stayed where they were, waiting for Xiao Li Feibiao to drive a van to pick up the other three.
"My daughter hasn't been in a good mood lately, what's wrong?" Zheng Yifeng asked, his hands in his pockets, seemingly unsure of who he was asking.
Lu Yuanqiu was intently picking his nose when it took him a while to realize what was happening. He looked at Zheng Yifeng and pointed at himself, saying, "You're asking me?"
“Nonsense, it must be related to your son.” Zheng Yifeng said with a serious expression.
Before Lu Yuanqiu could respond, a large black van pulled up. The rear door opened, and Liu Wangchun jumped out first. Behind her were Long Liandong and Ruan Yueru. The two didn't move from their seats, but tilted their heads to smile and greet everyone.
Because it was a nine-seater car and there were ten people present, four girls sat in the last row of three seats. Lu Yuanqiu was a little disappointed because he wanted his wife to sit on his lap. It turned out that Zheng Yifeng and Zhong Jincheng also had the same idea.
After listening to the three men's words, Liu Wangchun raised one eyebrow menacingly: "Then none of you should live."
After listening, the three married men simultaneously withdrew one of their ideas.
Liu Wangchun kicked Lu Yuanqiu in the buttocks.
Lu Yuanqiu turned around and spread his hands: "Why?"
"What's wrong? I just can't stand you the most." Liu Wangchun crossed her arms, glanced at him casually, and spoke in a provocative tone.
Lu Yuanqiu lowered his head and silently gave her a thumbs up.
After the car started moving.
Zhong Jincheng sat in the passenger seat and chatted with Xiao Li Feibiao.
Luo Wei and Su Miaomiao in the second row also chatted about their manicures.
Zheng Yifeng, sitting in the third row, dozed off with his hat on his face, while Lu Yuanqiu leaned on the back seat and looked at Long Liandong in the last row: "Hey~ how's it going living in the mountains these days?"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Liu Wangchun lifting Bai Qingxia's chest with her hands and weighing it. Lu Yuanqiu's expression changed on the spot. He quickly reached out and patted her arm, pointed at her, and gave her a warning look.
Liu Wangchun gave him a curt "skim".
Bai Qingxia reached out and pinched her nose, smiling indulgently, "Chun Chun, hurry up and get married~"
"No, no, no..." Liu Wangchun swung her legs, speaking very quickly, truly behaving like a rebellious girl. Suddenly, she pointed at Long Liandong: "If she gets married, I'll get married!"
They're quick to shift the blame.
Despite the cramped space, Long Liandong, who maintained perfect posture, didn't even glance at her, pretending not to hear the blame-shifting remark. She simply smiled and replied to Lu Yuanqiu, "Emmm...it's great. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the children live very freely. What they lack least is happiness."
Lu Yuanqiu nodded: "Xia Xia and I will visit the welfare home that Xia Yiwanmian sponsors another day."
"Oh right, I heard from my dad that Zhang Zhisheng has been released from prison." Zheng Yifeng took off his hat; it turned out he hadn't slept at all.
Liu Wangchun raised his hand: "I know, but I felt it would spoil the mood, so I didn't say it. Zheng Yifeng, deduct one point."
After pointing at Zheng Yifeng, she then gestured to Ruan Yueru with her eyes.
Zheng Yifeng made a zipping motion over his mouth, then turned around and continued to cover his face with the hat.
Ruan Yueru didn't care. Squeezed into the last row, she pointed from Bai Qingxia to Lu Yuanqiu, and finally to herself: "Summer, spring, winter, autumn, if I were a tree, wouldn't I have experienced a complete four seasons here?"
The other three stared at each other in silence for a long while. Lu Yuanqiu, also stunned, let out a long "uh," then suddenly clapped his hands and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "So wet! So wet! Ruan Wenhao, say another line!"
“…I just realized that your names contain these four characters.” Ruan Yueru raised her hand to explain, looking embarrassed.
"Summer, spring, and winter are family, but autumn is always an outsider." Liu Wangchun said with strong hostility, shaking her head at Lu Yuanqiu with a strong green tea vibe, and said sarcastically, "Can you stay away from us girls? Don't force yourself into circles you can't fit into, okay? Okay? You guys, look at the cars now, which guy is talking to us? Only you have the thick skin."
The winds of change finally reached the group of girls in 2023, and Lu Yuanqiu inexplicably wanted to laugh.
Zheng Yifeng, who was pretending to be asleep, suddenly heard that there was no sound next to him. He picked up his hat and looked back.
People were shocked.
As expected of Lu Yuanqiu, his skin is thicker than a city wall.
Lu Yuanqiu got up at some point and went to the last row, where he lay flat on the laps of four girls.
He rested his head on Bai Qingxia's lap, glanced up at the four beautiful faces above him, and said, "Qiu requests to join the discussion group. Xia, Chun, Dong, and that tree, please click 'agree'."
"Seriously, are you sick in the head..." Liu Wangchun bit her lip, her raised arms not daring to put them on Lu Yuanqiu. She tried to suppress her laughter, but she really couldn't.
What a crazy guy.
Long Liandong chuckled and placed her hands on Lu Yuanqiu's calves, giving them a gentle squeeze. Bai Qingxia also laughed and slapped her husband on the forehead: "You're crazy! What's wrong with you! Go back to your seat!"
"Your tone is so harsh, and you're using foul language," Lu Yuanqiu said, pointing at his wife as if holding a grudge.
"What happened?" Zhong Jincheng turned around.
Luo Wei raised her hand and slapped her husband's face back.
She knew what her husband was going to say.
After getting off the highway, the car drove for more than an hour before finally arriving at Chi Caocao's home.
Song Fenfang sent a message to everyone on WeChat, telling them not to enter the village yet, but to wait at the village entrance for a while. The group of people they had left in Zhucheng would be arriving soon, in just one car. They would all go in together later to show the Taoist priest what a truly amazing surprise was.
As a result, the black van stayed at the village entrance for a full hour.
Lu Yuanqiu: "On Horseback"
Song Fenfang: Almost there, almost there! That bastard Liang Jingfeng has backed the car into someone's field.
Lu Yuanqiu: Young Master Liang is still as authoritative as ever.
After waiting for another twenty minutes or so, Xiao Li, who had gotten out of the car to smoke, patted the car door.
Lu Yuanqiu and the others got out of the car one after another and saw a black minivan with muddy rear tires slowly drive up in front of them.
Song Fenfang and the others got out of the car. Lu Yuanqiu greeted them one by one. The uncle was not there, because the uncle who could keep the secret had already gone to help Xu Siyang prepare for the wedding.
"Is your third sister still single?"
"Get out! Get out! Get out!" Lu Yuanqiu kicked and shoved Song Fenfang aside, the old bachelor laughing heartily, sporting a beard.
"Damn it, what a terrible road!" Liang Jingfeng got out of the car, took out cigarettes from his back pocket and handed them out one by one. Only Song Fenfang, Zhong Jincheng and Zhang Yang reached out and took them.
Zhang Yang: "A typical case of bad driving skills blaming the road."
"Go! Go! Go."
Bai Qingxia stepped forward and held hands with her two roommates, Wei Zhiyu and Azhen.
"I'm going to unleash all the anger she vented on me back on this damned girl," Wei Zhiyu said through gritted teeth.
Bai Qingxia burst into laughter.
Seeing everyone abandon the car and head into the village, Liu Wangchun extended his hand to Long Liandong: "Let's go, my young lady~"
Long Liandong coldly slapped her palm hard, but the next second she was dragged forward by Liu Wangchun, her face contorted in terror.
A group of people rushed into the village, carrying large and small bags of gifts. Bai Qingxia was smiling when she suddenly patted Lu Yuanqiu's arm and pointed to a place.
Lu Yuanqiu saw that it was a small shop with the words "Cao Cao Small Shop" written on the sign.
"Where is he? Didn't he say he'd come to pick me up?" Zhong Jincheng looked around, and when he turned back, he was so startled that his sword trembled.
Everyone turned around at the same time, and at that moment, Chi Caocao secretly slipped out of the convenience store, where she had been waiting.
Many villagers came out of their homes to watch the spectacle, as if they all knew what was about to happen.
Xu Siyang and the uncle, who had been sneaking around behind the group, were finally exposed. After a moment of staring at each other, the two of them simply started casting spells on the spot, simultaneously casting a "poisonous curse" on all of them, shouting it out in a very loud voice.
"Health! Peace! Mantra!"
"Imperial Edict!"
Happy New Year.
