"Hmm! It seems it's time to make some adjustments!"
Lu Yuan thought for a moment and walked into the ice cream shop.
The ice cream shop owner looked at the passersby with a frustrated expression, a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
When he saw Lu Yuan, he was first taken aback, then exclaimed with delight, "Mr. Lu! You've come!"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Hmm! How much is the ice cream here?"
At this moment, the mother and son who hadn't gone far couldn't help but turn around and take another look.
In the dimensional space city, only Lu Yuan can be called Mr. Lu; no one else is qualified to be called Mr. Lu.
The little boy, as if he had seen an idol, grabbed his mother and shouted, "Mom! Look, it's Uncle Lu!"
The woman nodded excitedly, "It's Uncle Lu! Let's go say hello to Mr. Lu!"
So the mother and son walked up to Lu Yuan and respectfully greeted him, "Mr. Lu, we never expected to see you here! Thank you so much for saving us! Xiao Peng, quickly call for help!"
The little boy quickly bowed deeply to Lu Yuan, then exclaimed with a hint of joy, "Uncle Lu! I saw you in our school textbooks!"
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xiao Shan beside him.
"Yes! That's right! Your story has been included in textbooks! Now everyone knows you!"
Lu Yuan shrugged helplessly: "Fine! I never thought I'd end up in a textbook! Who noticed?"
"Haha! You'll have to ask Sister Chen Ling about that! She's the one who did all of this!"
"Sigh! This woman, really..."
Then, Lu Yuan squatted down and gently pinched the boy's cheek: "Hello! Do you like ice cream?"
The little boy was about to say he liked it, but then he remembered that Lu Yuan might buy it for him, so he quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, Uncle Lu, I don't like ice cream. Eating too much will make my stomach hurt."
"Haha! Then eat less!"
After speaking, Lu Yuan looked at the shop owner and asked, "How much is an ice cream?"
The other person opened his mouth, then said, "Mr. Lu, you're here! How could I possibly ask for money? Come on, little one, Uncle will treat you to ice cream today!"
Then the other person took out a glutinous rice bucket, filled it with a full cup of ice cream, and handed it to the boy.
The boy hesitated before taking it, but Xiaoshan said softly, "Little boy, take it!"
The boy looked at Xiaoshan again: "Principal Wei, I...I..."
Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Here you go. I heard you got two perfect scores on your exams, which is great! Consider this a reward for you! Do even better next time!"
The boy's mother finally smiled knowingly and thanked Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan repeatedly.
Finally, the little boy happily left the shop with his ice cream.
However, Lu Yuan eventually gave the leave slip to the shop owner.
"Sigh! Now I finally understand the pain of not having a currency. It seems this matter needs to be addressed! Otherwise, it will be extremely troublesome for everyone to trade!"
"Yeah! It's kind of funny. For example, I'd ask the owner how much the ice cream is, and they'd say, 'Two for one day off!' But I can't eat that much, so what can I do? Can I just have one? The owner would say, 'That's putting me in a difficult position! I can't just take half a day off! There aren't any half-day leave slips here!' Haha!"
After saying that, Xiao Shan giggled, and Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh along.
So the two chatted as they walked, and soon they had finished exploring the second floor.
Next is the third floor, which mainly sells daily necessities and various meat products.
Xiaoshan's mom and Lu's mom opened a company in this place, mainly selling various raw and cooked meats.
Upon arriving at their destination, Xiaoshan's mother and Lu's mother couldn't help but rush over.
"Lu Yuan? When did you get back?"
Lu's mother looked excited and reached out to wipe the oil off her hands on her apron.
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "I came back yesterday! I just got up today and came here!"
"Sigh! You've had a hard time! We really wanted to help, but there's nothing we can do to help!"
Xiao Shan's mother looked at Lu Yuan with a sigh, she valued this son-in-law very much.
Lu Yuan waved his hand gently: "Haha! It's okay, I'm used to it! After I finish these things, I can take a long vacation! By the way, how's business here?"
Aunt Lu nodded: "It's pretty good! Almost everyone came to buy things. It's just that I've accumulated a huge pile of leave slips. I don't know when I'll be able to use them all. I feel like if I use them all up, I'll probably have to retire!"
After saying that, Lu's mother brought over a small metal box, which was full of leave slips.
Lu Yuan was somewhat taken aback, then looked up at the price list hanging above.
"Pork, one leave slip per pound; mutton, two leave slips per pound; beef, three leave slips per pound; braised meat (your choice), five leave slips per pound..."
After reading all this, Lu Yuan felt incredibly embarrassed.
"We've redeemed so many leave slips, what are we going to do with them later?"
Xiaoshan's mother said softly, "In the end, it will still have to be sent to the personnel bureau for unified processing! There's no other way!"
"Okay! Is there any faking it?"
After hearing this, Lu's mother immediately felt as if she had received counterfeit money and became very nervous.
