Chapter 154 The original promise



Lu Zhenchuan carried his bag and explained to his son, "Haoyu is in the military academy and can't go back with us."

After hearing this, Gu Yu'an didn't think too much about it and said, "Okay then!"

"Let's go!"

"Um!"

Lu Zhenchuan's guards were already waiting outside in their car. When they saw the commander and his family get in, the car quickly drove to the train station.

The domestic situation in recent years is much better than in previous years. Mr. Lu retired from his position a year ago. The Lu family was originally a military family, and the other members of the Lu family are also quite capable.

In particular, Lu Zhenchuan was promoted to the rank of major general in Longguo with his outstanding abilities and continuous meritorious service.

After Mr. Lu retired, he rarely took charge of things anymore. In his own words, "I'm old now, and the world will be run by young people. If I'm still taking care of so many troublesome things now that I'm retired, what's the point of retiring?"

When his old brothers heard what the old guy said, they started to rant and retorted: Bullshit, you have a successor, anyone in your family can take charge, but we are still relying on our parents.

A group of old men looked at Lu Baihua's smug old face and suddenly felt a lump in their hearts.

It’s true that comparing goods will lead to throwing them away, and comparing people will make you angry!

In the end, I chose to turn a blind eye.

Lu Zhenchuan was originally on the rise, but with the policy coming into effect and the market situation at that time, he planned to retire from the army to save the rest of his family, but Old Man Lu would never agree to it. In the end, he suppressed his military status and sent him to the countryside to avoid the limelight. This led to what happened later.

No one spoke much along the way. Gu Yuan sat in the passenger seat, Gu Ranzhou sat in the back seat, and Lu Zhenchuan sat next to Gu Ranzhou on his left.

When they arrived at the train station, there was a queue of people buying tickets in the ticket hall. After Lu Zhenchuan gave his instructions, he asked the guard to go back and then took the two, one adult and one child, to the carriage where they had bought their tickets. Gu Ranzhou and Gu Yu'an followed behind him.

After getting on the train, Lu Zhenchuan protected the two of them as they moved through the crowd in the carriage. Passengers kept passing by them and soon arrived at the seat where they bought their tickets.

There were two berths, one above and one below. Gu Yu'an skillfully and simply tidied up the bed, then climbed up swiftly with very skilled movements.

It’s no wonder that Gu Yu’an is so skilled, because Gu Ranzhou takes him back to his hometown every year, and sometimes Lu Zhenchuan will come back with him if he happens to be free at that time.

When Gu Yu'an was 15, he stopped calling Lu Zhenchuan "Big Dad" and started calling him "Lu Dad". Lu Zhenchuan knew that his child had grown up and didn't say anything.

After Gu Ranzhou climbed into the lower bunk, he pretended to be bored and took out a book from his bag to read. After all, he didn't have a mobile phone at that time. Even if he had one, he wouldn't take it out. Now there have been some big changes in the domestic development, but this kind of product cannot appear too quickly. The road must be taken step by step. Otherwise, taking too big a leap at once is not a good thing, and it may even have a huge negative impact.

"I don't want to watch anymore. Just lie down for a while. I'll call you when we're there." Lu Zhenchuan pushed Gu Ranzhou aside, sat down himself, and then pulled the curtain.

Gu Ranzhou nodded, then rested her head on his legs and closed her eyes to rest. Lu Zhenchuan's eyes softened and he reached out and carefully placed his hand on his wife's temple and rubbed it gently. Gu Ranzhou hummed and continued to sleep.

Seeing this, Lu Zhenchuan curled the corners of his mouth, lowered his head and kissed his wife on the cheek, then continued to massage her.

Four days later, the train finally arrived.

After getting off the station, the three of them took a bus to the town. Because it was a little late and there were no ox carts returning to the village, Lu Zhenchuan took them to stay in the town for one night.

When we returned to the village, it was already noon the next day.

Not long after the three of them sat down, Gu Jianguo heard the news that Gu Ranzhou had returned and hurried back from the fields.

Gu Ranzhou saw Gu Jianguo hurried over. He didn't expect him to come so quickly and couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Fourth Brother?"

Gu Ranzhou had no idea that he was a "celebrity" in the village. From the moment he entered the village, the news about his return spread everywhere.

Gu Jianguo: "Xiaozhou, you too, didn't even bother to send a letter after you came back so I could ask Huzi to pick you up in town."

Gu Ranzhou smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing serious. I'll come back to check it out during the Qingming Festival."

At this time, he glanced at Gu Yu'an and asked, "Have you eaten?" Lu Zhenchuan and the others had eaten breakfast, but they didn't have time for lunch.

Seeing that they were silent, Gu Jianguo greeted them: "Okay, go home for dinner first, and we'll talk after dinner."

"good!"

When Yu Jinhua knew that Ran Zhou had brought Xiao Lu and An An back, she rushed back from the fields to cook. When she and her daughters-in-law had prepared the meal and put it on the table, Gu Jianguo also brought people back.

We started talking only after a large group of people had finished their meal.

"Xiao Zhou, when do you plan to leave this time?" Yu Jinhua asked.

Gu Ranzhou pondered for a moment and said, "Fourth brother, I plan to build a road in the village." Lu Zhenchuan sat quietly by the side and didn't say anything. After all, he had known about this matter for a long time. In fact, it was he and his wife who applied for the approval document together.

"What? Xiaozhou, you..."

Gu Jianguo was surprised. He didn't know what Xiaozhou did, but even if he made money outside, he couldn't afford to spend it like this, not to mention that he was talking about building a road. Gu Jianguo didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment.

Gu Ranzhou sat on the chair with a calm expression, as if he was talking about what to eat tonight: "I had this idea a long time ago, but I didn't do it at that time for various reasons. In recent years, the country has been developing rapidly, and I did some work outside and got the approval documents, so I thought about doing this matter when I go back to the village to sweep the graves, so as to avoid too many nightmares in my daily life." As he spoke, he recalled the old things when he first came here.

Gu Jianguo took a sip of water and calmed down. "How long do you want it to be?"

Gu Ranzhou said: "It will be built from the town to the village."

Gu Jianguo refused, "No, no, no. Building a road is a good thing, but it takes three or four hours to get from the town to the village by oxcart. How much would it cost to build it from village to village?"

Gu Jianguo's sons and daughters-in-law were all shocked when they heard Gu Ranzhou's words. They knew that Uncle Jiu was capable but they didn't expect him to be so powerful. He asked to build a road from the town to the village right away. How much would that cost?

Gu Ranzhou was obviously aware of Gu Jianguo's concerns: "Brother, money is not a problem."

Seeing this, Lu Zhenchuan chimed in, explaining, "Fourth brother, this time Zhou Zhou and I came back with the approval documents. The higher-ups support it, and construction has already begun. It's just that our village is a bit remote and far-flung, so according to the rules, it's not our turn yet. Construction has to be done one level at a time. But Zhou Zhou has the ability, and the higher-ups are willing to support it, so half of the money for the road construction was approved by the leaders."
