"hehe……"
Lu Wensheng laughed awkwardly. She didn’t know how to persuade others...
Rubbing his nose, he whispered: "I'm not saying you're old, I just...oh, just listen to it casually, anyway, you wear the jade pendant close to your body, don't let others touch it."
Chen Cheng nodded with a smile on his face, the corners of his lips were harder to suppress than anything else:
"Okay, I'll wear it close to my body."
Seeing that he agreed, Lu Wensheng hurried back to the house, took out Shen Lingling's red thread, twisted a red string for him, put on the jade pendant, and solemnly hung it around Chen Cheng's neck, saying seriously:
"I hope it can accompany you instead of me and bless you to be safe and sound without any illness or disaster!"
Chen Cheng is serious! He would be willing to die right now!
"good!"
At this moment he was extremely grateful that the oil lamp was too dim, otherwise he would not be able to hide the tears in his eyes.
He looked up at the moon outside and said in a low voice: "It's already late, go to bed early, and we can talk about it tomorrow."
Lu Wensheng nodded: "Okay, little uncle, you should also go to bed early."
"Um."
Watching Lu Wensheng lock the door, he stood in the patio for a long time, as if he was looking at the moon, but also as if he was looking at nothing.
Lu Wensheng sat by the window and watched him for a long time, until he climbed over the wall and returned to Meng Qingtang, then he withdrew his gaze:
If... the original owner's father were still alive, he would definitely love the original owner like this!
However, she was not Lu Wensheng. All these good things were stolen, which made her feel uneasy, especially the better Chen Cheng treated her, the stronger this uneasiness became...
No, tomorrow she will secretly burn some paper money for the original owner...
That night, Chen Cheng did not sleep at all. He clutched the jade pendant around his neck tightly and kept his eyes open until dawn. In this life, he was finally no longer alone!
The shock brought by this jade pendant to him was not the slightest bit. Shengsheng had a huge secret, but he didn't want to explore it. All he could do was to help her keep the secret.
It's time to do something!

A night of silence
The next day, when Shen Lingling was about to cook for everyone, she saw that Chen Cheng had already prepared breakfast:
"Good morning, uncle, why are you up so early?"
"Good morning~ Shengsheng said last night that she wanted to eat preserved vegetable sesame cakes. I'll make some for her." Chen Cheng said with a smile
Shen Lingling looked at Chen Cheng in confusion. She always felt that her uncle was a little different, but she couldn't tell what was different...
"Then I'll go call Shengsheng to get up for dinner."
"Don't shout, let her sleep a little longer."
Shen Lingling: But this is too much pampering! I'm so envious, what should I do...
She suddenly missed Lao Shen~
Seeing that Chen Cheng had almost finished cooking, Shen Lingling simply stopped intervening:
"Then uncle, I will go feed the pigs first."
Chen Cheng casually wrapped two pancakes in oil paper and handed them to her: "Take them and eat them on the way. Be careful of the heat."
Shen Lingling happily took it: "Thank you, uncle!"
Chen Cheng smiled and nodded. This girl must not get sick from hunger. Xiao Gong said that she was taking care of Shengsheng's daily life. She would be like his half-son or nephew in the future!
Lu Wensheng should be the last person to get up in the entire educated youth point...or even in the entire Ping'an Brigade.
When she got up, everyone was already busy. Lu Hao went to send the projectionist back to the commune, Han Muchen and Meng Qingtang went up the mountain to chop firewood, Xiao Gong returned to the county town early in the morning, Shen Lingling sat in the yard sewing clothes for Lu Wensheng, and Chen Cheng was tinkering with a radio.
"Good morning, uncle~"
Chen Cheng looked up at the person who came and said in a gentle voice: "Hurry up and wash up, and eat first."
This radio was taken from Wu Laoxianer's house. It has a broken part, but it can still be used after some repairs.
As soon as Lu Wensheng walked out of the house, Shen Lingling told her that Shen Qingchen had come in the morning and said that there would be a commendation meeting in the county in two days, and asked them to go with the village chief:
"I heard that our brigade has made great achievements this time, and we are sure to be the advanced brigade this year."
Lu Wensheng was also very happy. This was all honor. The more honor she had, the more comfortable her life would be in the countryside. The college entrance examination would be resumed in two years. Although she couldn't stay there for long, it was better to have a better life.
"Where are the others?" Lu Wensheng asked casually.
Shen Lingling was stunned for a while before she realized that Shengsheng was asking Shen Qingchen:
"Oh, he's still at the brigade headquarters. He heard that you were going up the mountain today, so he decided to go with you."
Lu Wensheng brushed his teeth and replied: "Oh, then I'll go call him to come with me later. Where are Han Muchen and the others?"
Shen Lingling: "They have already gone up the mountain, but they are going to chop wood."
"Oh..." It seems that everyone has left~
When she saw the preserved vegetable sesame cake, she was pleasantly surprised. She ran out of the kitchen and shouted, "Uncle, did you make the sesame cake?"
Chen Cheng nodded: "Yes, if you want to eat it, I'll make it tomorrow."
Lu Wensheng was very happy and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I want to eat it the day after tomorrow too..."
Chen Cheng smiled dotingly: "Okay~"
After dinner, Shen Lingling handed Lu Wensheng a letter: "This is what Xiao Gong left for you. He left early in the morning. I heard from my uncle that he will go to school tomorrow."
Lu Wensheng took the letter and opened it casually: "Going to school is a good thing, maybe you can go with us..."
Shen Lingling nodded: "Yes."
The letter said that there was a cloth bag in the kitchen, which contained a hidden crossbow and hidden arrows that he had made himself. He had originally planned to give it to her on her birthday in a few days, but now he had no choice but to give it to her in advance.
He also said that he would go to school and study hard, and asked her not to worry, and that he would come back to see her when he had time. He wrote three pages of words in a very eloquent manner.
After reading the letter, Lu Wensheng went to the kitchen to get the gift Xiao Gong gave her. In addition to the sleeve crossbow and sleeve arrows, there was also the Tang sword.
The letter said that it was a gift from him to his uncle and he hoped that he would not dislike it.
Lu Wensheng threw the Tang sword to Chen Cheng: "Uncle, this is for you!"
Chen Cheng took the Tang sword and looked at it carefully. The blade was as black as ink and extremely sharp. It was obviously carefully crafted. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it and the more satisfied he was. He couldn't help but praise it:
“It’s a good knife indeed!”
He had been to the Wu family's armory, and there were many good weapons in it. When Mr. Wu asked him to choose, he didn't like any of them. But now this knife is very much to his liking~
Seeing that he liked it, Lu Wensheng was very happy, and quietly approached him and said: "I left a Shaolin stick with Mr. Wu. When you go back, you can use it. It should be handled."
Chen Cheng smiled and nodded: "Since it's Shengsheng's, I won't be polite!"
Lu Wensheng waved his hand: "Why are you being so polite? We are a family."
