A lot has happened over the years.
For example, she went from being a kindergarten child to a sixth-grade student who soon graduated from elementary school.
For example, my older cousin Lu Chengyang joined the army during his freshman year of college for some reason, and he hasn't been home for almost three years now.
She hadn't seen him for almost three years.
For example, her second cousin, Lu Linqi, moved into a big villa and was in the second year of junior high school at the No. 11 Middle School, which was diagonally opposite her school. Every day after school, he would follow her to her house to play for a while, waiting for the driver to pick him up before going back.
At this time, she would stand at the door and respectfully wave to the increasingly alluring and seductive young man, saying, "Young master, take care."
Then the boy would flick his forehead expressionlessly and correct him in a deep voice, "Call me brother."
For example, my aunt Chai Shuhua developed a liking for milk tea that year, but I don't know why.
Anyway, later on, her uncle, a man with a fierce face, opened a pink and flashy milk tea shop near the city center. He stood behind the counter all day making milk tea expressionlessly, and now he has opened several branches.
Since neither my uncle nor my aunt are particularly sophisticated people, they had no intention of coming to the provincial capital and stayed in Yangcheng City.
Over the years, the milk tea business has been getting better and better, and the two of them have made a lot of money. They bought Lu Chengyang a house of more than 180 square meters in the best location in the city, just waiting for him to get married so the young couple could live there.
The younger generation is well-off, and the health of the older generation is also guaranteed.
Now only Lu Jun is at home, so the task of regularly giving the elderly couple medical checkups falls on his shoulders.
Four years ago, Cai Min was diagnosed with a problem with her right kidney. The doctor said that it was fortunate that it was discovered early, and that surgery would solve the problem. If it had been discovered later, she might not have lived long.
Fortunately, Lu Chuqing had told Lu Ying about it, and the woman always remembered it. After learning about this, she immediately made arrangements to return to Yangcheng to accompany her elderly mother for surgery.
Lu Hang also used his connections to find a senior doctor to perform surgery on Cai Min.
The surgery was a success, and his wife recovered very well afterward. At that time, Lu Chengyang had not yet joined the army, and when he came back a week later, he chased after him all over the yard.
As time goes by, the friends from the village get together less and less.
Song Daqian spent his entire high school years running small businesses, and his studies were a complete mess. In the end, he went to a junior college and ended up studying nursing!
I heard that they've already started their internship at the hospital this year.
Moreover, Lu Chuqing only learned last year that Song Daqian's real name was Song Gan, and that his friends called him Song Daqian because of the similar pronunciation.
Qiao Xiaohou studied very hard and got into a top-tier university in another city; Lu Wenxin got into a second-tier university and went to the south; Qiao Hui was a year younger than the two of them and later also got into a second-tier university in another city.
Tiewa and Huzi moved to the city with their parents less than two years later, and they hardly saw each other for the next few years, and lost contact for the last two years.
The most promising one was Song Tianhao, who was admitted to a prestigious university in the capital.
However, he has never been home since he went to university.
No one could contact him.
Lu Chuqing didn't know the story between him and Fu Qing, but she knew that summer, the whole village was talking about how the boy who got into a prestigious university was gay and was having an affair with another man.
All she knew was that after that, Song Tianyu became like a mute, never speaking to her former playmates, and not even glancing at them before walking past them.
But if he hears someone talking about his brother, he will pick up a stone and throw it at them, saying they are barking like dogs.
Then, people in the village started saying that one son in that family was gay and the other was mentally ill.
Lu Chuqing later met Song Tianhao's parents. Both of them had gray hair and looked much older than their peers.
As she had expected, those relatives visited more and more frequently over the years.
Every time they come, they either ask Lu Hang to help transfer their child to a better school, or they subtly ask to borrow money. Some even shamelessly ask the man to give them advice on starting a business.
Similar incidents happen every year. For the first three years, Lu Hang helped as much as he could, but the outcome depended entirely on them.
Three years later, whenever there was a holiday or Chinese New Year, Lu Jun would pick up the elderly couple in advance and the group would stay at Lu Hang's house in the provincial capital.
If the elderly couple hadn't been unable to get used to city life, the man would have really wanted them to stay and never leave, since going back home would only cause them trouble and annoyance from all sorts of relatives.
The apartment she and Lu Ying now live in is an 88-square-meter two-bedroom apartment that the woman bought with her earnings from writing. It's not very big, but it's just right for the two of them.
When they got the house, Lu Ying asked Lu Chuqing what she thought about where she would live in the future, and she had her own plans.
Finally, she redesigned the interior herself, making the living room and her master bedroom a little smaller, separating one room to use as her study, and the other room to use as Lu Chuqing's art studio.
Over the years, she has put a lot of effort into painting, and occasionally she can win a good ranking in a small competition.
She has already told Lu Ying that she plans to learn digital painting during the summer vacation.
After all, in two years, digital painting can still be used to earn money by taking on commissions.
With the rise of smartphones in the last two years, she mentioned to Lu Linqi that she wanted Lu Ying to buy her a phone.
The very next day, her second cousin, who was now a young master, gave her a box with a half-fruit pattern on it.
They even thoughtfully got her a SIM card.
As Lu Chuqing took the box, she was still thinking, "Having a rich older brother is such a fantastic experience!"
When they arrived near the entrance of No. 11 Middle School, the bus stopped, and Lu Chuqing got off the bus with a group of students through the back door.
She had barely steadied herself when she was flicked on the forehead. She immediately let out a soft cry and glared resentfully at the boy who had done the wrong thing.
"Are you crazy? Can you please stop playing me?!"
The girl's words drew the attention of all the students at the bus stop.
Perhaps, even without her words, everyone else at the bus stop would still be looking this way.
In seven years, Lu Linqi has grown into a dazzling young man.
Not to mention his height, none of the men in the Lu family are short, and Lu Chuqing has to look up at him to speak.
Needless to say, she was stunningly beautiful even as a child, and she's even more gorgeous now!
The boy, with a blank expression, looked down at the girl who was covering her forehead and frowning. A slight smile played on his lips as he handed her the milk. "It's room temperature. Remember to drink it."
During the two years Lu Linqi spent at the Lu family home, although he was still not very cheerful and noisy, at least he showed his emotions on his face.
Later, I was taken to my maternal grandmother's house. I don't know how I got through those two years, but I hardly smiled anymore after that.
In addition, as Lu Hang's business grew bigger and bigger, he had to face all kinds of flattery occasions, which made him more and more indifferent. Now he doesn't even have any emotions.
Only when he saw Lu Chuqing did his face show a slight ripple of emotion.
