Two more days passed in the blink of an eye, and Song Daqian and Song Tianhao had already started school.
On the evening before they left, a few young boys got together for a get-together.
They had just finished eating when Lu Chengyang brought Lu Chuqing out with him.
After protecting Lu Linqi for the first time, Lu Chuqing also invited Lu Linqi along.
Although the latter was reluctant and even reluctant, he still walked steadily, waiting for Lu Hang to give him permission before immediately following the two of them out to play.
"Look at you bunch of little brats! Only Haozi and I went to high school. By the time you guys got to high school, we'd graduated and gone to college. And by the time you got to college, we'd be entering the workforce!"
"Oh dear, we won't have many more chances to play together in the future!"
Song Daqian brought lollipops, and they shared one with each person.
Lu Chuqing was divided into two, but there was an extra Lu Linqi, so she gave one of hers to him.
The boy looked disgusted and refused, saying, "How old are you to still be eating candy? How childish."
Then Lu Chuqing forcefully stuffed the torn candy into his mouth, saying, "Eat yours."
Lu Chengyang took the candy out of his mouth, put his arm around Song Daqian's neck, his face full of ease, but his eyes revealed sincerity, "Don't rush, wait until I get into No. 5 Middle School, you and Tianhao will still be in your senior year, and we can still hang out together for a year!"
Qiao Xiaoran said realistically, "By then, both of them will be busy with the college entrance exam, who will still want to play with you!"
Lu Wenxin chimed in, "Exactly! No. 5 Middle School is the best high school in Yangcheng. It's not even certain if we can get in!"
Lu Chengyang was displeased, "You talk like you two are guaranteed to pass the exam! You can't stand it when you're better at studying than me!"
The three of them started arguing about their grades, and Song Tianhao was really afraid they would get angry from arguing.
He gently persuaded them, "Don't argue anymore. Even though we'll have less time to play together in the future, we can still play together on Sundays and holidays. If you have any questions you don't know how to answer, you can come to my house and ask me. We can do our homework together."
Lu Chengyang: "Okay! It's a deal then! We'll all go to Tianhao's house to do our homework together during the holidays!"
The boys and girls cheered and talked about their future.
"I heard that there's military training when high school starts, is that true?"
"Really! Haozi and I both got camouflage uniforms on the day we registered!"
"I have to say, it really doesn't look good. The color looks so fake! It's really ugly!"
"Standing under the sun during military training is painful just thinking about it!"
"..."
Lu Chuqing, with a lollipop in her mouth, may look like the youngest among them, but she is actually the most mature one.
The reality is often that the more people say, the more they lose.
Next summer, these friends probably won't be able to do things like this anymore.
During dinner, the elders talked and ate, making the mealtime seem long.
After Lu Chuqing finished eating and Lu Chengyang helped her wipe her face clean, the adults in the main room were still discussing in hushed tones.
She overheard a few words: Lu Hang was telling Lu Yongkang that he wanted to leave Lu Linqi in their hometown for a while.
Before the meal, she overheard some conversations and learned that her second uncle owned a building materials supply store in the provincial capital.
The store doesn't have a lot of stock, which can meet the small needs of buyers. If there is a large demand, such as for building houses, we will contact the manufacturer to ship the goods.
Lu Chuqing was a little surprised when she first heard this, because her impression of this second uncle was that he was the kind of person who was all smiles and no action.
He appears kind and easy to get along with, but in reality, he is deep in thought and a master strategist.
So at first glance, she was a little afraid of this second uncle.
She was already incompetent; if she hadn't been reborn and learned more, who knows how stupid she would have become.
Therefore, she was very afraid of such scheming people.
Of course, her guess was correct.
The reason her second uncle ran a building materials store was because it was owned by her second aunt Zhang Qiaoyu's father.
Once the daughter gets married, the shop is naturally handed over to her son-in-law to manage.
Despite Lu Hang's efforts to expand the store and ensure a steady stream of business in the years since he took over, Lu Chuqing could still sense that running the store was somewhat troubling her second uncle.
With her second uncle's deep and calculating nature, he might not be CEO material, but he's certainly a high-end person who always wears a suit. He appears gentle and refined on the surface, but is actually cunning and ambitious on the inside.
Sure enough, Zhang Qiaoyu was reluctant as soon as Lu Hang said he wanted to leave Lu Linqi in his hometown.
The woman asked with dissatisfaction, "Didn't we agree to bring Linqi along? Why didn't you discuss it with me before saying you'd leave him in your hometown?"
Lu Hang took her wrist to comfort her, "We're in business, and it's not good to be running around with a child."
“Our parents are at home, and our older brother and sister-in-law are often home too, so they can help take care of things. Chengyang and Qingqing can also take Linqi out to play.”
The woman still had a stern face, so Lu Hang softened his tone a bit, "It's not like we're not coming back. In a couple of years, we'll be back soon, and then we can take the child away and the three of us can be reunited."
Zhang Qiaoyu was shocked and raised her hand to push the man's hand away. "Two years is fast? A lot can happen in a day, let alone two years!"
"In the past two years, do you know if your son has been happy at school? Has he eaten enough? Has he been bullied? What does he do when he's unhappy? What does he do when he misses his parents?"
"Linqi is only six years old! He hasn't even had his seventh birthday yet! Can you please stop using your cold, adult mindset on a child who isn't even seven years old!"
"I absolutely disagree! Either I take Linqi with me, or I'm not going at all!"
No one expected the couple to suddenly start arguing over this, and Lu Yongkang quickly tried to persuade them while they were still stunned.
