Moreover, there were too many things for Lu Youxi to carry.

Lu Zhenguo was about to speak, but he stopped talking. Seeing this, Lu Youxi said, "Dad, do you want to go see grandpa and grandma?"

Lu Zhenguo nodded awkwardly, feeling a little guilty.

Fortunately, Liu Yusu is not here, otherwise Lu Zhenguo would not dare to admit it.

Since arriving in the imperial capital, Liu Yusu has become more opinionated.

Lu Zhenguo didn't dare to make Liu Yusu angry.

Although Lu Youxi was not allowed to pay, Lu Zhenguo couldn't help but still worry about the two elders of the Lu family.

Lu Youxi said, "It's okay, go ahead."

But for some reason, Lu Zhenguo was a little hesitant to face the two elders of the Lu family alone.

"How about I wait for you to visit Aunt Lin and Aunt Liu, and then we can go together?" Lu Zhenguo said hesitantly.

Lu Youxi took a look and wondered if Lu Zhenguo had contracted the PTSD of the two elders of the Lu family.

She couldn't help but think about it, but she didn't dare to face it? However, she would feel more at ease if she went with him, so that Lu Zhenguo wouldn't do anything stupid.

She agreed readily just now because she was afraid that Lu Zhenguo would feel uncomfortable.

So, Lu Youxi nodded readily, "Okay, I'll call you when I get out of Aunt Liu's house, and we'll meet up at my grandparents' place."

"Okay." Lu Zhenguo was completely relieved.

With Lu Youxi by his side, he felt much more at ease.

Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan took the gifts to Aunt Lin and Aunt Liu.

Aunt Lin pulled Lu Youxi aside, she had a lot of gossip to tell.

Lu Youxi had anticipated this, and in order to prevent Aunt Lin from getting too excited and unable to leave, he chose to go to Aunt Lin's place first.

Because they had to go to Aunt Liu's place soon, Aunt Lin couldn't keep talking to Lu Youxi.

However, Lu Youxi promised to come back tomorrow to finish what he didn’t discuss today.

When Aunt Lin heard Lu Youxi say that he would come tomorrow, she stopped being anxious and spoke all at once.

Anyway, there is still a lot of time to talk tomorrow.

He happily sent Lu Youxi away.

Lu Youxi then went to Aunt Liu's house. After leaving Aunt Liu's house, he called Lu Zhenguo and made an appointment to meet at the door of the Lu family's two elders' house.

On the way to Ge Guifen's place, Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan passed by the house where they used to live with the two elders of the Lu family.

But since the two elders of the Lu family moved to Lu Zhen's house, Lu Youxi also brought his family to the imperial capital.

The house was left vacant, with no one visiting and no one cleaning it.

The door became gray and covered with a thick layer of dust.

Lu Youxi didn't know why, but he stopped as if possessed by a ghost, walked over and pushed the door, and actually pushed it open.

The two elders of the Lu family probably thought that there was nothing left here and were too lazy to lock the door.

When Lu Youxi and his family left, they were not able to take all the belongings in the house with them.

Liu Yusu tried her best to pack her luggage and took away as much as she could.

Those that are left have been used for many years and it is time to replace them with new ones.

Even so, the two elders of the Lu family swept everything away.

I opened the gate and saw that the yard was full of fallen leaves because no one had cleaned it.

The dust on the windows made it impossible to see what was inside the house through the windows when standing outside.

Lu Youxi opened the doors one by one and looked at the small room where he used to live.

I visited Lu Youxue's room, and also the bedrooms of Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yusu.

But Lu Youxi still only looked at the rooms of everyone in the family before the two elders of the Lu family left.

Lu Youxi did not go to see the room where the two elders of the Lu family used to live.

Looking at the deserted courtyard covered with dust and fallen leaves in front of me, it seemed as if I was saying goodbye to my past life completely and there was no longer any connection with it.

Lu Youxi took a deep breath and then let out a long breath.

"Let's go." Lu Youxi said with relief, "This place has nothing to do with my life anymore."

Zhou Shuyan nodded, held Lu Youxi's hand, and led her out of the yard.

Lu Youxi closed the gate again, as if completely shutting out his previous life and memories, and looked forward.

The two arrived at Ge Guifen's house. Lu Zhenguo was already there. It was unknown how long he had been standing at the door.

No one came out of the yard, and no one noticed Lu Zhenguo was there.

"Dad, how long have you been here?" Lu Youxi thought that he might have arrived late because he had been delayed at his original residence on the way.

"Not long." Lu Zhenguo still has some income now, and he is a little worried about the two elders of the Lu family, but he doesn't dare to face them alone.

"Then let's go in." Lu Youxi said.

Lu Zhenguo nodded, unconsciously falling half a step behind Lu Youxi.

Lu Youxi noticed his reaction and said nothing.

Generally, if the owner is at home, and in order to let people know that nothing is happening at home and that they can come and visit at will, the courtyard door will be open.

This time, the gate to Ge Guifen's yard was closed. Lu Youxi muttered, "Is she not at home?"

"That's not right. Grandpa and grandma must be at home." The two elders of the Lu family must not be able to go anywhere.

Lu Youxi tried to push the door, and it opened with just one push.

Lu Youxi also felt that it was a bit strange, so he said to Lu Zhenguo: "Let's go in and take a look."

Lu Zhenguo nodded and followed Lu Youxi.

Zhou Shuyan frowned slightly.

As a father, why did Lu Zhenguo hide behind his daughter instead of standing in front to protect her?

Zhou Shuyan had originally walked side by side with Lu Youxi, but now he was holding Lu Youxi's hand, walking half a step ahead of her, protecting her behind him.

Lu Youxi had unknowingly become the pillar of the Lu family.

Whether inside or outside, Lu Youxi is the one who makes the decisions.

She seemed to have surpassed Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yusu and became the real head of the Lu family.

So much so that when they were outside, Lu Zhenguo subconsciously let Lu Youxi take the front.

Lu Youxi was about to walk towards the main house when Ge Guifen's sharp voice suddenly came from the small storage room next to it.

"Where did you two put the passbook?" Ge Guifen said, "If you don't give me money, I won't have money to cook. If I don't have money to cook, you will starve!"

"It's New Year's Day, please don't make things difficult for me."

Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan looked at each other and headed towards the small storage room.

"If you want money, take us to the hospital first!" Old Mrs. Lu is now lying on the bed with Old Man Lu.

The small bed originally given to Mr. Lu became a big bed.

The two of them were lying side by side, with diaper pads underneath them.

At first, Mrs. Lu could still lie in her room after falling.

When Ge Guifen was sure that Mrs. Lu really could not be taken care of, she and Lu Youzhen moved Mrs. Lu in to live with Mr. Lu.
