When Lu Yiheng saw his youngest son appear in front of him, his eyes immediately reddened. He quickly looked around and, finding no one there, pulled his son into the yard and hurried into the house.
When Grandpa Lu saw Lu Yuan, his eyes reddened, and his lips trembled slightly, but he didn't lose face in front of the younger generation.
Lu Yuan chuckled as he watched the father and son surround him, looking him up and down. Finally, he said in a cheeky tone, "Grandpa, Dad, I'm a grown man, and it's embarrassing to be looked at like this by you two!"
Grandpa Lu reached out and patted his youngest grandson, saying, "He's never been proper since he was a child!"
Lu Yuan said with a grin, "Oh dear, Grandpa, it makes me feel so bad!" He then made a gesture of covering his heart with his hands, which made Lu Yiheng suppress his laughter and clench his fists, then release them and immediately clench them again, afraid that he would not be able to help but reach out.
Seeing the old man's beard, which he had been forced to grow, twitching, Lu Yuan immediately took a few steps back and said, "Well then, a gentleman uses words, not fists!"
Grandpa Lu snorted and looked at his youngest son, who was already blushing, saying, "Look what a wretched child you've given birth to!"
Lu Yuan walked over to Grandpa Lu with a grin and helped him sit down: "Grandpa, I came here mainly to see how you are doing. I have news from my eldest brother and the others, and I have also found out where my sister and the others are going to the countryside."
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Old Master Lu immediately asked, "Does your inquiry about these things have any impact on you?"
Lu Yuan held the old man's hand and said, "Grandpa, Uncle Li helped me find all this information. It's accurate. And you know that when I enlisted, my situation was different from that of an ordinary soldier. Now I'm a company commander in an artillery regiment. With Uncle Li around, as long as I don't make any big mistakes, I'm relatively safe."
Lu Yuan said with a grin, "I also plan to visit my eldest brother and his family, as well as my eldest sister and second sister."
Lu Yiheng asked, "Is this okay? Is it convenient?"
Lu Yuan nodded and said, "I just finished a mission and I have some time." He looked towards the door and said softly, "Dad, what do you need? I'll get some for you in the next few days, and then I'll go to my older brother's place."
Lu Yiheng shook his head: "When we first arrived, we lacked food and clothing. Although the living conditions were like this, the villagers did not make things difficult for us."
Later, your grandparents fell ill during their first winter here. We couldn't move around freely, and just when we were at our wits' end, someone offered us help, bringing not only medicine but also food, clothes, and firewood, which helped us get through that winter.
Lu Yuan's heart tightened: "Dad, do you know who it is?"
Lu Yiheng paused for a moment and said, "I don't know, but I have a suspicion in my mind."
Lu Yuan and Grandpa Lu looked at him, and he said, "Captain Qian Sheng."
Grandpa Lu nodded and said, "Indeed, I agree with the second brother's guess. When some people in the village bully us, it is always the brigade leader who steps in."
Lu Yiheng said, "When they delivered the medicine that winter, it was obvious that someone knew someone in our family was sick, and that only Qian Sheng had come to our place during that period."
Lu Yuan asked, "Who is this Qian Sheng?"
Lu Yiheng said, "He is the head of Beian Village, and he arranges all the farm work in the village. He also arranges our work here."
Relatively speaking, your grandma, your mom, and your aunt have easier jobs, your grandpa's is next, and your uncle and I have the heaviest, but it's still within an acceptable range!
Lu Yuan nodded: "This brigade leader is not bad."
Grandpa Lu nodded: "Qian Sheng is quite prestigious in Beian Village. His two sons are in the army, one son works in the county, his younger son is in the village, and his younger daughter is studying in the county."
The more Lu Yuan listened, the more familiar it seemed. He asked, "Is this person who works in the county named Qian Mao?"
Lu Yiheng laughed: "How did you know?"
Lu Yuan: "Dad, why has your accent changed?"
Grandpa Lu laughed heartily: "After living here for so many years, my accent must have changed a bit."
Lu Yiheng rolled his eyes: "All you do all day is cause trouble. Be careful, or I'll teach you a lesson!"
Lu Yuan grinned and said, "I know his sister, Qian Duoduo."
Lu Yiheng: "To be honest, Qian Duoduo is a really good kid. I secretly investigated later and it's very likely that the person who delivered the things to us was Qian Duoduo."
Lu Yuan nodded: "This Qian Duoduo is quite interesting."
Lu Yiheng said, "When your mother comes back later, ask her to make some of your favorite dishes."
Lu Yuan looked at it and said, "I'll go back first. It'll be dark tonight, then I'll come back and meet with my uncle and the others. We can talk about it tonight."
Lu Yiheng glanced outside, then looked at his watch face, which was so worn it was almost unreadable, and said, "Okay, we'll be finishing work soon, so don't let anyone see it."
Lu Yuan nodded, walked to the back of the cowshed, looked at the lush green mountains, used his spatial ability to survey them, and then quickly entered the mountains.
But they hadn't gone far when they saw a little girl in a gray top standing under a big tree. Lu Yuan walked up to her with a smile and said, "Hey, Qian Duoduo, what a coincidence!"
Qian Duoduo: I don't want this kind of fate.
Qian Duoduo said, "I saw you come out of the cowshed."
The statement made Lu Yuan's brow furrow slightly before relaxing. He said, "I came here to find them."
