Chapter 66: The Road Ahead: Even Power Banks Can't Work Sometimes.



Lu Yuan quietly entered the cowshed from behind when it got dark. When no one was watching, he suddenly had a large bag in his hand and imitated a few bird calls behind the cowshed.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiheng immediately stood up and said, "Seventh Brother has arrived."

Lu Yijian also stood up and asked, "Where are they?"

Lu Yuan said with a grin, "Oh, Uncle, you missed me that much?"

Seeing his nephew grinning mischievously, Lu Yijian walked over and patted him on the shoulder. Seeing the grin spread across his face, he laughed and said, "Good lad, you're pretty strong!"

Lu Yuan immediately looked at his uncle with a wronged expression: "Uncle, you really are my uncles, how could you treat me like this, slapping away all my feelings for you." Then he looked at his aunt Liu Ting, who was watching the show from the side, and said: "Aunt, you have really worked hard all these years, and you have still been able to stay by my uncle's side."

Liu Ting had watched Lu Yuan grow up and knew that he was the youngest child in the family, so everyone doted on him. That's why he sometimes seemed cynical and even a bit sarcastic, and his words were rather dark. But in front of his family, he was always like this, though he was a bit cheeky, at most just acting silly like he was now.

Everyone used to think this child was just mischievous, but after such a big incident in the family, the one who survived was this child that everyone thought was impossible. Moreover, it was he who found this place. She looked at this child and saw that he no longer had the naivety he had when he left the capital. He seemed to have been forced to grow up overnight, and she felt a little sorry for him.

Lu Yuan naturally didn't miss the heartache in his aunt's eyes. He grinned and leaned closer, "Aunt, when you look at me like that, do you think I'm handsome and dashing? Do you think my uncle is already past his prime?"

刘婷的心疼还没有维持三秒,就被路远的话给打散了,她现在明白为什么自家老头子对这小子又爱又恨了,果然嘴贱的小子就适合挨揍,想到这里,她也确实是伸了手,拍在路远的脸上,不过力道小的不如说是摸一摸还说的过去,她说道:“你就算是在风流倜傥,在我的心里,也是你大伯最好!”

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement and said, "Uncle, look, now you only have the best left."

Lu Yijian felt a headache coming on just looking at this kid; he could already feel the veins throbbing on his forehead.

Wen Ya stepped forward, grabbed Lu Yuan's ear, and looked at his grimacing face, which reminded her of when he was a child, as if he hadn't existed in the countryside for the past few years. She let go with a pained expression, rubbed her youngest son's ear, and said, "You brat, you come here to upset your uncle. You're really something else if you don't discipline him for three days."

Lu Yuan gently nudged his father with his shoulder, and the way he looked like he was enjoying his mother's love made Lu Yiheng almost not recognize his son.

Lu Lang coughed lightly: "Second son's wife, is the food ready on your end?"

Wenya immediately put down her hands and said, "It's done, but the conditions here are limited, so I can only make two vegetable dishes that Lao Qi likes to eat."

Lu Yuan stepped forward to help Grandma Lu and said, "Grandma, I haven't eaten with you in a long time. I can eat an extra bowl of rice when I'm with you."

Grandma Lu looked at her youngest grandson and patted him on the shoulder: "Good, with you by Grandma's side, Grandma can eat more."

Lu Yuan immediately nodded: "Grandma, you really need to eat more. Look how thin you've become, I almost don't recognize you."

Grandma Lu said, "Really?"

Lu Yuan: "Yeah, in my memory, my grandma was fair-skinned and chubby, so cute. Look at you now, you're dark and thin, not cute at all. I'm embarrassed to brag to people that my grandma was the cutest old lady in the world."

Grandma Lu paused for a moment. She didn't want this grandson anymore. Could she give him away?

With Lu Yuan's witty remarks, the dinner came to a satisfactory end. Before Lu Yuan left, he took out the items from his bag one by one. Lu Yijian looked at them and said, "You must have spent a lot of money on this."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Uncle, this is my way of showing filial piety to my grandparents, you and my aunt, and my parents. It's nothing to spend a little money."

Lu Yijian nodded, at least he said something sensible!

Lu Yuan asked his grandmother to take his two daughters-in-law to pack their things. After his third brother's wife left, Lu Yuan released his spatial ability to the maximum to prevent anyone from eavesdropping. After confirming that no one was around, Lu Yuan said, "Grandpa, Uncle, Dad, the dawn is about to break, in the next year or two."

Lu Lang looked at Lu Yuan: "Are you sure?"

Lu Yuan thought of the college entrance examination in 1977 and the personnel changes at the top, nodded and said, "I think next year is the best opportunity."

Lu Yijian paused for a moment and said, "For a country to develop, talent is essential. After more than ten years of the 'Down to the Countryside Movement,' our country's talent pool has dwindled. Now that the country wants to build up its talent pool, the college entrance examination is inevitable. However, when the college entrance examination can be reinstated is a question."

Lu Yuan looked at his uncle, an economics professor at Peking University who had studied in ten countries. Even in this cowshed, his vision hadn't been compromised. He secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Lu Yiheng nodded and said, "Big brother is right. Our country is not only economically backward, but also in terms of weaponry. Seventh brother, you've been interested in physics and mechanics since you were little. You have to work hard!"

Lu Yuan nodded and said, "I have never given up on my studies. If, as my uncle said, the country resumes the college entrance examination, I want to apply to a military academy. With my current ability to memorize texts, I think it shouldn't be a problem."

Lu Lang nodded and said, "Good, that's ambitious and you know how to study. Very good. When you go to see your older brother and the others, tell them to study hard too."

Lu Yuan nodded, and the four of them discussed the situation of the other members of the Lu family and how Lu Yuan could help them. Of course, Lu Yuan kept to himself what Lu Yijian and Lu Yiheng had said today.

When Lu Yuan left, he made a detour to Qian Sheng's house, not knowing where Qian Duoduo lived. He wanted to try and see if the power bank could charge his superpower. He regretfully said that since he didn't see anyone, the power bank was useless.

He glanced at the dark, unlit house, then turned and left.

Qian Duoduo had no idea that she had become Lu Yuan's "power bank." She was making a deal with Qin Feng in the space and had even added a new friend. Moreover, this friend was a postman from a parallel world's Blue Star, codenamed Liu Yanhong. She lived in the same era as herself, the 1970s, but judging from the things on her side, Qian Duoduo estimated that it was the early 1970s.

Qian Duoduo had a bold idea in his mind. Like most time travelers or reborn people, since there was such a good channel as the postman, wouldn't it be reasonable not to hoard some stamps? Especially the "The Motherland's Mountains and Rivers Are All Red" stamp that most people talked about, and the limited edition "Monkey Stamp". Could he also go and find them?

If I really had it, wouldn't becoming a millionaire be within reach?
