Lu Yunzhou had never expected that the couplets he bought casually on the street would actually be written by the old man's arch-rival in calligraphy.
With his luck, it’s a pity that he didn’t buy a lottery ticket today.
Lu Zhengguo snatched the bag containing the couplets from Lu Yunzhou and hurried out of the Lu family's old house.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Lu Zhengguo took the bag, walked to the gate of Liu's house, and knocked on the door.
However, after waiting for a long time, no one came to open the door to check.
Now, Lu Zhengguo had nothing to understand. Old Man Liu clearly knew that Lu Yunzhou was his grandson, and he sold this to Lu Yunzhou specifically so that his couplet would appear on the door of the Lu family.
It's shameless for a man of such age to deceive young people.
Did he think that if he didn't open the door, he would be helpless? Old Liu really underestimated him.
Lu Zhengguo stopped knocking on the door and walked around the wall of the Liu family's old house with the bag. Finally, he came to a place that he thought was the right time, right place, and right people, and threw the bag containing the couplets directly into the wall.
20 yuan, just consider it as his grandson’s New Year gift to Old Man Liu.
After throwing away the couplet bag, Lu Zhengguo took out his mobile phone, found Mr. Liu's phone number, and dialed it.
After waiting for a long time and no one answered, Lu Zhengguo made another call.
Perhaps fearing that Lu Zhengguo really had something urgent to say, the second call was quickly answered. Lu Zhengguo didn't give the other party time to react and launched into a barrage of curse words without using a single profanity.
After cursing for his fill, Lu Zhengguo simply hung up the phone, and then returned to the Lu family's old house empty-handed and in a happy mood.
It was impossible for Lu Yunque and others to let Lu Zhengguo go out alone without caring about anything. After Lu Zhengguo went out, the three brothers hurriedly followed him out.
But he just followed from a distance and had no intention of stopping Lu Zhengguo.
The way the grandparents get along with each other is not something that the younger generations can understand.
Seeing Lu Zhengguo coming back, the three brothers hurried out to greet him.
"Grandpa, you're back."
Lu Yunfeng was the first to step forward, and as he spoke, he was about to raise his hand to help someone.
"Get up. I'm not so old that I need help."
Lu Zhengguo has always boasted about his strong body. Whether he is at the Lu family's old house or out and about, he would not use a cane if he could avoid it. Naturally, he is very reluctant to be supported by others.
Lu Yunfeng's flattery hit the nail on the head, but he was not discouraged. He still followed Lu Zhengguo, acting like a good grandson.
"I just heard you guys arguing outside, what happened?"
Several people walked into the main courtyard. Xu Suhua looked at them and asked casually.
Several people were hesitant, not knowing how to explain this matter.
"Humph, I'm your good grandson. Why did you go out and buy something else but the couplets written by Old Man Liu next door? You even want to put them up at home. Do you think I look like someone who needs a couplet?"
When he saw Xu Suhua, Lu Zhengguo told her all his grievances.
If he hadn't discovered it early, these two couplets would have appeared on the door sill of their Lu family at some point.
After hearing Lu Zhengguo's words, Xu Suhua was stunned for a moment at first, and then she laughed very rudely.
"It's just two couplets. The kids can put them up if they want. Why do you care so much?"
Xu Suhua also highly recognized the calligraphy level of the old man of the Liu family, otherwise Lu Zhengguo would not care so much about it.
Seeing that Xu Suhua did not stand on his side, Lu Zhengguo opened his mouth, but when his eyes met Xu Suhua's gaze, he ended up saying nothing.

What happened in the Lu family's old house in Dijing formed a very sharp contrast with what happened in the Red Star Orphanage.
"Zijin, you decide where to post these couplets."
Everyone who came from the Red Star Orphanage ran to Yun Zijin and asked him to make the decision.
Liao Zhuxiu and other people in the orphanage did not hide the fact that Yun Zijin contributed manpower, effort and money to the expansion and renovation of the orphanage.
Because of this, after everyone returned to the orphanage this year, Yun Zijin could clearly feel the change in everyone's attitude towards her.
Yun Zijin felt a little uncomfortable at first, but after two days, she adapted very well.
For example, now everyone comes to ask Yun Zijin where to post the couplets.
Yun Zijin took a look at the content and looked up to see everyone looking at him expectantly. In the end, he decided to follow his own idea and arranged a door for each couplet.
With Yun Zijin's decision, the speed of this work was greatly accelerated.
"Zijin, just watch from the sidelines, and leave the rest to us."
Yun Zijin has already let each of them have their own independent room, and all other housework and miscellaneous matters can be left to them.
Yun Zijin has indeed been pampered during this period, so she gladly accepts the care from others.
"Sister Zijin, we want to play hide-and-seek. Do you want to join us?"
Xingxing ran to Yun Zijin's side at some point and started inviting Yun Zijin to play games with them.
It was just a game of hide-and-seek with the kids, and Yun Zijin didn't feel any resistance.
"Okay, but I've never played it before. Can you tell me how to play it?"
Yun Zijin squatted down so that her eyes were level with Xingxing's little friend.
Facing Yun Zijin, Xingxing taught Yun Zijin her hide-and-seek skills with great patience.
In Yun Zijin's eyes and heart, these little tricks are all the innocence of children.
It was five minutes later when Xingxing and Yun Zijin finished introducing their hide-and-seek skills.
"Sister Zijin, do you understand the rules?"
The stars looked at Yun Zijin, and there seemed to be real stars in their eyes.
"I heard it clearly. Now who is hiding?"
"Sister Zijin, it's me!"
Xingxing patted her chest confidently, with a proud expression on her face.
"Okay, then I'll go hide. Xingxing has to work hard to find someone!"
The area for playing hide-and-seek is within the orphanage, so there is no need to worry about any danger.
"good!"
Xingxing responded readily, and Yun Zijin did not stay for long. He quickly went to find a place to hide.
When others saw Yun Zijin playing hide-and-seek with the children in the orphanage, their expressions unconsciously improved.
Everyone was happy to see Yun Zijin's childish side.
Yun Zijin walked around the orphanage and finally felt that the most dangerous place was the safest place.
Yun Zijin went straight back to her room, went into the room, and hid in the closet.
