Chapter 16 Transition
I don’t know if it’s because weirdos like Lu Daliu are so rare, but after Lu Xing talked about this with others, his exploration level directly reached 13%.
However, one thing cannot gain exploration points repeatedly. After Lu Xing finished talking to others, no matter who she talked to, the exploration points would not increase.
She was wondering if there was anything new to talk about recently.
It just so happened that Lu Yuan recently received a big order. A big boss asked him to order a large batch of pickles as year-end bonuses for his employees.
This order gave him a new idea. In small places, everyone produces and sells pickles by themselves, and few people have the demand to buy pickles. If he wants to promote his products, he still has to go to big cities.
He happened to hear that the capital was planning to hold an agricultural exhibition. After completing this order, he planned to take the pickles to the capital to try his luck.
Because the order quantity is too large and the time required is a bit urgent, Lu Yuan plans to hire a group of people from the village to process the vegetables.
Lu Xing's group of old sisters who chatted with her came to help because they were quick and skillful, didn't have to work in the fields, and didn't ask for much salary.
Therefore, recently Lu Xing's place of chatting has changed from the village entrance to Hong Xiahua's house.
It was still the same group of people, but they had changed from sitting and eating melon seeds to sitting around a large pot of vegetables, picking out rotten leaves and washing vegetables while chatting.
"How many days has it been since we were at Lu Daliu's house? No one has come back. Could they all have gone in? What about that girl in his family?"
"I heard that he was adopted by a wealthy boss, and he must have developed feelings for him after raising him for so long."
You Dali has successfully infiltrated the melon-eating group in Xiaoshi Village, and even takes on village chores like picking vegetables.
"Did Lu Neng really fight with his father? I heard he was even twisting his father's flesh before he fainted?"
Liu Hehua was furious when she heard this. "Of course not. The fight between the father and son was too intense. My son tried to stop the fight and got punched twice. You can't tell at other times, but they're so ruthless when they start fighting. Don't hit others if you have a grudge against them."
"I used to think they were just a little concerned about the child, but who could have imagined they would go this far? Not being able to have a son is retribution for their family. What a sin."
Hong Xiahua was the quickest among them. She wanted to do more to help her son save some money. "Stop talking, I've already picked out a whole basin of vegetables and no one's washing them. Come on, someone, help me."
"Xia Hua, don't you want to know what happened in Lu Daliu's family?"
"Don't ask her. She's currently preoccupied with the task of selecting vegetables. She's completely focused on helping Lu Yuan with his business."
Lian Hua: "Yeah, you said the difference between people is huge. Others can't find work after being laid off, but Lu Yuan earns more after being laid off than when he was working."
"My Dazhuang is already in his thirties. He finally got married, but his wife ran away. He just works in the fields all day long. He's not smart at all. It worries me to death."
Old Lady Lu said sarcastically, "Just be happy. Your Dazhuang is so honest and filial. He just can't talk. He'll get used to it after hearing it for a while. Look, we've gotten used to it after all these years, haven't we?"
"You're right. If I were to end up with a kid like yours, I'd wake up in the middle of the night and slap myself, asking myself why I was so careless and gave birth to such a thing."
"Thank you, I wouldn't have thought of it if you hadn't told me."
"You!" Old Mrs. Lu was so angry that she couldn't speak, but she didn't want to talk about her embarrassing little son, so she decided to lower her head and work, and ignore the annoying Lianhua.
Not long after the topic was interrupted, someone started talking about layoffs in the city.
"Xia Hua, your Lu Yuan is really capable. He earns more after being laid off than when he was working. I heard that many people were laid off from their factory and still haven't found a job."
"I heard that many people went there to set up stalls."
"What kind of stall is this and what are they selling?"
"I heard it's a medical clinic, called Qigong Healing. Quite a few people go there. It looks like business is pretty good."
You Dali: "Why don't we all learn some kind of qigong? I heard it can cure diseases and improve health, and it can cure anything from bad eyes to bad backs."
Lianhua's first reaction was that it was a scam. "It's a lie! How can it be so good? I think everything will be cured after I learn it."
"Really? I've even treated foreigners before, and it was even on TV. Why would I lie to you?"
"I heard that the Qigong in the capital is even more powerful. With a pot, you can get information from all over the world. It's amazing."
Qigong is very popular outside now, but the people in Xiaoshi Village have hardly heard of it, and everyone regards You Dali's words as a joke.
I forget about it when I get home after doing it.
Lian Hua originally thought so too.
————
When she got home, the lights were on, but the kitchen stove was cold.
As soon as she entered the door, Lianhua found Dazhuang sitting in the yard, worrying about something, with a familiar child sitting next to him.
"Da Zhuang, what are you doing sitting in the yard?"
"Mom, Fang just came and left Dazhi behind."
Lianhua was startled by these words. She looked carefully at the silent child sitting next to her and could vaguely see some of Dazhuang's appearance as a child.
"Why did she come here so suddenly, abandon the child and run away without saying a word?"
"Yeah, he said he was going to study with some master and couldn't take care of the child, so he left him at our house for a few days." Speaking of this, Da Zhuang scratched his head, not knowing how to treat this son whom he had hardly met.
"No, she..." Lianhua wanted to say something, but looking at the child sitting next to her, she didn't say it. "What should I do?"
The child next to them seemed to be accustomed to this kind of life and did not cry or make a fuss when his mother was gone.
"Dazhi, do you remember me? I'm your grandma, and this is your dad."
The child shook his head. "My mother said my name is Lu Zhixing, not Dazhi. Grandma, I want to stay at your house for a few days. When will mom come to pick me up?"
Lianhua tried to squeeze out her softest voice, "Xingxing, your name is so beautiful. Mom has something to do and she shouldn't be back in a few days. Can you live with grandma and dad for the next few days?"
The child nodded obediently, "Okay."
Lu Zhixing is a very well-behaved child. He eats his meals well every day, finishes his homework on time, and helps clean up after finishing his homework.
When he sees Lianhua, he will call her grandma obediently.
Only one day when Lian Hua got up at night to cover him with a quilt did she hear him crying for his mother.
After a week of getting along, Lianhua liked her grandson more and more. Seeing that her daughter-in-law had not returned yet, she could not help but suggest to Dazhuang, "Wang Fang said she would take the child away, but now she has come back and no one knows where she has gone. Why don't we leave Xingxing to us to raise."
"Mom, when we divorced, didn't we both say that the good child would be hers?"
Lian Hua was almost mad at her own stupid son. "I meant to give it to her, but she's not here right now. She just left the child here. I feel bad for Xingxing. Why can't I raise him?"
"No, we agreed on that, and Xingxing misses her so much. How could you do that to yourself?"
"I'm his biological grandmother, and you're his biological father. How could the two of us harm Xingxing? Wang Fang left the child here herself. If she doesn't come back, what's wrong with us raising him?"
Lu Dazhuang nodded, "Mom, you are right."
Lian Hua thought her son had finally come to his senses after what she said, "It's good that he's figured it out."
"We have to find Wang Fang. I've made inquiries and she's gone to learn qigong from a qigong master named He. I'm going to find her right now. We can't let Xingxing be without his mother."
"Mom, please stop trying to persuade me. Wang Fang is in a strange place. What if something happens? I have to go find her."
Lu Dazhuang packed his luggage and prepared to leave. Even though his mother chased and beat him in the yard, it didn't change his mind.
