Then you see a hunched-over grandfather opening the door.
The old man's back had become even more hunched over in the few months since I last saw him. Although he had consumed quite a few golden tubes, his health was still deteriorating due to old age. After all, the golden fruit did not have the effect of granting immortality. Although it could treat some diseases, the signs of aging would still gradually appear over time.
"Xiao Yuan! It's Xiao Yuan back! Oh my! My granddaughter-in-law is back too! Come in quickly! Come in quickly!" Grandpa shouted happily when he saw Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan return.
Then, Grandma, Lu's mom, and Xiaoshan's mom came out of the house.
Xiao Shan and Lu Yuan stood in front of the door, looking at these elders, and were so excited that they couldn't speak. It had been so long since they had seen each other. Although they often called or video-chatted to keep in touch, seeing them again suddenly gave them that feeling of home that they hadn't experienced in a long time.
After giving his family a big hug, Lu Yuan felt his eyes welling up with tears. He gently wiped them away with his sleeve before his grandfather pulled him into the room.
Looking at the familiar room and the big yellow dog lying on the ground, Lu Yuan raised his head slightly, not expecting that the dog looked even stronger than before.
So he rubbed Da Huang's head twice. Although Da Huang was very unhappy about being roughly stroked on the head, he could only silently endure it after seeing that it was Lu Yuan. His eyes revealed a sense of helplessness, wanting to resist but being powerless to do so.
After chatting with Grandpa for a while in the living room, Xiaoshan's mom and Lu's mom had already prepared a sumptuous dinner.
The family sat in the spacious dining room for a meal, and Lu Yuan told them in detail about some things that had happened at the new base in Shanxi Province recently.
"This is too dangerous! By the way, what if that Mr. Tan you mentioned has some ulterior motive?"
After adding a piece of green vegetable, the old man glanced at Lu Yuan before putting it in his mouth and asked softly.
Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "There shouldn't be any danger for the time being. After all, our base hasn't been built yet. His intention is very clear: he wants us to finish building the base so that he can send people to seize our territory. These things have already been revealed by the doctor we turned!"
The old man nodded, but still said with some earnest concern, "Don't let your guard down. This kind of person has a very strong ability to endure, so we need to pay more attention to him!"
"Okay, I understand. I'll arrange for a few of them to keep an eye on him!"
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, after having dinner at home, Lu Yuan went to find Yuan Yuan.
Seeing him inspecting the car, Lu Yuan stepped forward and asked softly, "How's the car? When will it be finished? It needs all the necessary maintenance!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, although the car has been driven on many mountain roads, its performance is still quite good. We've just changed all the parts, and there aren't many parts damaged by the oil!"
"Okay, that's good. Let's put the car issue aside for now and come out with me in a bit!"
Yuan Yuan quickly wiped his hands, then followed Lu Yuan and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, Mr. Lu?"
"Alright, stop asking. You'll find out when you get there!"
Yuan Yuan put down the wrench in his hand and followed Lu Yuan into the car, heading towards Qingshui City.
After arriving in Qingshui City, Lu Yuan made a phone call.
The familiar woman's voice came through the phone again: "Oh! Our new base's CEO, Mr. Lu, is back!"
"Stop talking nonsense. Have you prepared what I asked you to prepare? If you have, hurry up and come over. I'll be waiting for you in the square of Qingshui City!"
"What a boring guy. Fine, you wait here, I'll have someone take inventory of the items and send them over to you in a bit!"
Lu Yuan smiled slightly and hung up the phone, then stood there and continued to wait.
Before long, the sound of a car came from afar. In this era, cars are quite rare. Basically, 99% of cars have become scrap. Apart from some high-ranking figures in large bases, it is very difficult for other people to own a car.
There were about a dozen cars parked around the square. A woman with long, dyed blonde hair jumped out of one of the cars. She was wearing a black leather jacket and high heels with sharp heels. She was walking very confidently toward Lu Yuan.
"Wow, you've lost weight since I last saw you!" The woman walked up to Lu Yuan, looked him up and down for a while, and then said.
Lu Yuan remained expressionless, glanced at the convoy behind him, and asked, "Are all the tents and stuff prepared?"
The woman nodded and said, "Everything is ready. You can have someone check it."
Lu Yuan nodded, then gestured for Yuan Yuan beside him to go to the car to check.
Standing to the side, Yuan Yuan looked at the dozen or so cars in the distance with some disbelief. He didn't know when Lu Yuan had bought these things and was very suspicious of Lu Yuan's actions. Moreover, the base didn't lack anything, so why did they have to come to Qingshui City to make purchases?
"There are a total of one thousand tents, five thousand sets of cotton-padded clothes, as well as water boots, stoves, and other things. I've provided you with everything you need. Here's the list!" After saying that, the woman handed the list to Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan took the list, glanced at it, and handed it to Yuan Yuan. The other party quickly took the list and subtly sized up the woman.
