Chapter 13



"Is the air conditioner in the car broken? Why is it getting colder and colder?"

The front row said goodbye to the old questions.

The driver, Yan Junbo, said, "That's impossible. I just bought a new car. But it's true now that you mention it. It suddenly got really cold, and the wind was coming from behind."

"..." Lu Cijiu probably knew where the 'cooling air' was coming from. He turned to look at the back seat, and sure enough, not only was Boss Diao cooling down, but he also had a look of displeasure and anger plastered on his face. He didn't know what had offended him.

I just made 30,000 yuan because the carving can speak. Lu Cijiu coaxed people and said, "Brother Gong, if you think 1.5 meters is too small, how about buying a 1.8 meter one with carvings to make it more impressive?"

This tone made Yan Junbo sick, and he said sourly: "Brother Lu, you have never called me such a disgusting thing before."

Lu Cijiu:...what kind of trouble are you making?

"He's never called you that?" Gong Xichao asked coldly from the back row.

Yan Junbo was startled. He thought that we were all men, not soft girls. Adding the word "brother" would be disgusting, so he said, "No."

Lu Cijiu found that Brother Diao's complexion looked a little better, and the cooling was not as terrible as before.

So they were arguing over the 1.5-meter bed just now???

This is too... Forget it, just give Brother Diao some face.

I cashed the check, deposited some of it into my card, and kept some cash. It was getting late, and I couldn't go to the furniture market today. Lu Cijiu was afraid Diao would get angry, so he said softly, "I can't buy a bed today. Brother Gong, can we do it tomorrow?"

"Okay." Gong Xichao said, then felt that he spoke too quickly, as if he was eager to beg to sleep together, making the human's tail stick up, so he added coldly, "I've endured it for so many days, so you don't care about one or two days."

Lu Bijiu: ...

I'm sorry to have wronged you.

Yan Junbo laughed in his heart. The way these two people talked was like a couple quarreling.

Of course he had to eat well after making money. Eating out was expensive, small restaurants couldn't cook as well as he did, and big restaurants were unaffordable. His sons and daughters all had big appetites, especially his unfilial eldest son.

After buying meat and vegetables, when passing by a cake shop, Lu Cijiu thought for a moment and bought a big cake.

The kids all loved the bread and biscuits I bought at the bakery in town. They probably liked the cream and fruit cake even more. They haven't tried this yet.

"Come up and eat together?" Lu Cijiu carried the kids out of the car.

Yan Junbo said, "No, I have work tomorrow, so I won't delay." After a pause, he explained, "It's not that I'm not speaking up today, but my aunt is the kind of person who takes shopping, beauty treatments, and card games for granted, and doesn't take this kind of thing too seriously."

He originally wanted to send a red envelope to Lu Ge privately after it was over.

"I was too embarrassed to ask for it. I used to do it with my grandfather," Lu Cijiu said. Aside from charging for fortune-telling, which his grandfather said was a way of peeping into the heavens, not charging for it was disadvantageous. Everything else was just good deeds.

"That was a really good move today." Yan Junbo cheered for Brother Lu. Seeing that Gong Xichao wasn't paying attention, he whispered, "Brother, your assistant is even better at asking for money. You should learn from him."

Two people are talking here.

Not far away on the lawn, Gong Xichao said impatiently, "I'm hungry."

Lu Bijiu: ...

Okay, I have to cook for my eldest son.

"I'm leaving first. You and the kids should come back early." Yan Junbo said quickly. He always felt that Lu Ge's assistant was not an ordinary person and was not easy to mess with. He was afraid of being beaten.

Lu Cijiu: "Be careful on the road."

One, two, three, four were holding bags of vegetables, Lu Cijiu was carrying meat in one hand and cake in the other, and Gong Xichao was walking in the front with his hands in his pockets.

Lu Cijiu: As a father, he has to train his little brother well, and make him work and love his father.

When Yan Junbo returned home, he heard his mother video chatting with his aunt. The voiceover was on, "... She's really capable. You don't know. I was so scared that my legs went weak. Luckily, Junbo was able to meet a master who saved Wanwan's life."

His mother exclaimed "Ah", "Yo", "Really?", and then modestly said "I don't know much about Bozi's friendship. I heard that he was a college classmate, but he's not that great, right?"

Aunt Yan said seriously, "It's amazing! The master has one assistant and four Taoist children, each of whom is very capable. In the end, they even gave me a discount for Junbo's sake..."

Yan Junbo: ???

As far as he knew, the four Taoist boys were responsible for drinking milk, the assistant was responsible for collecting money, and at least he was responsible for carrying the people.

Yan Junbo greeted his mother and was praised again by his aunt. The aunt said, "Lao Lin and Xuanxuan are back. I won't talk about it for now. Thank you Junbo for today. Let's get together another day and talk."

The Lin family is richer than the Yan family, and the boys from the two families are about the same age. Before, when Aunt Yan mentioned Yan Junbo, although she didn't say anything bad for the sake of appearance, her tone was like "Who are you, little cookie" and "My son is better than me", which was a contemptuous comparison. Yan's mother was also angry, but her son really didn't make progress. She didn't expect that she would gain face today.

He praised Yan Junbo again.

Yan Junbo: ...Thank you, Brother Lu.

On the other side is Yunshan Villa.

Aunt Yan has a son and a daughter. Her daughter, Lin Wan, is 26 years old this year, and her son, Lin Xuan, is one year older than Yan Junbo. He graduated last year and started working in the family company.

The father and son just walked in.

"Is Wanwan feeling better? What master did you talk to me about today? I'm too busy to spare the time. Don't treat Wanwan randomly. Take Wanwan to see a psychologist tomorrow." Lin Zhenguo instructed.

Lin Xuan said, "Yes, Mom, all the talk about ghosts being possessed is a lie. Where do ghosts come from in this world? Besides, what kind of master can Yan Junbo know? Don't be fooled."

"I have to say something bad about Junbo, this kid has no ambition at such a young age, yet he is still doing all these nonsense. Now he even cheats you out of your money." Lin Zhenguo said dissatisfiedly.

Aunt Yan, who hadn't had time to tell them her daughter was better, and Lin Wan, who had come downstairs to eat, both said in unison, "Master Lu is very useful." "Master Lu is very powerful."

Father and son: ...

"Is Wanwan okay?" Lin Zhenguo reacted first.

Lin Wan drank the talisman water and slept for the whole afternoon. She felt much better now and said, "It was Master Lu who saved me."

"Tsk, a liar, sister, you are really confused." Lin Xuan didn't believe it. "It must be Yan Junbo who colluded with outsiders to deceive our family. Do you still think that master is a good thing?"

Lin Wan was so angry that she shouted, "Don't talk about Master Lu. He saved me, and you know nothing."

"Girls, stop swearing." Lin Zhenguo didn't believe it either, but he loved his daughter and didn't want to argue with her about it, so he said, "That's enough. Let's eat first."

At the dinner table, Aunt Yan mentioned Master Lu again, with a tone of admiration and trust. She mentioned that before the master left, he asked her husband to go to Haishan to take a look, and also said that there was a problem.

Before Lin Zhenguo could speak, Lin Xuan said, "Mom, 30,000 is 30,000. Just consider it as paying the IQ tax. But you really believed the liar's words. Recently, the company's projects have been stagnant and there are a lot of troubles. How can my dad have time to burn incense, worship Buddha and see a master?"

"Master Lu believes in Taoism, and you are an illiterate." Lin Wan rolled her eyes.

Lin Xuan: He’s so pissed off.

"Let's eat and have a good time. What are you quarreling about?" Lin Zhenguo said, suppressing the two siblings. He then declined, saying, "The company has been very busy lately. I don't have time. Let's talk about it when we have time. Okay, let's eat. The quarreling is giving me a headache."

After Lin Zhenguo said this, no one mentioned it anymore.

That night before going to bed, Aunt Yan took out the amulet and said, "Old Lin, you should still wear it. Master Lu is really effective."

Lin Zhenguo frowned. He had a headache listening to Master Lu all night. He said emotionally, "Bring everyone home. Don't talk about masters anymore. I don't believe in them."

"You still don't believe me. I've put it in your pocket. What if you really get into trouble with the villain's company..." Aunt Yan muttered.

Lin Zhenguo was moved and felt ridiculous for believing this excuse. How could the company's problems be solved with just a talisman? But he didn't argue and just let his wife do what she wanted.

Shanhai Shelter.

Maybe because they didn't eat well when they were young and their stomachs were lacking in fat and water, all four of them love meat and eat it like crazy. Late that night, I didn't dare stew meat, so I cut up a carrot, tofu, and fish head and stewed them, then baked the meat patties in the electric griddle.

The meat pie was the size of a child's palm, made with minced pork belly, smothered in crispy butter, coated with chopped green onions, and fried until golden on both sides, releasing a fragrant aroma. Four children lined up at the door, unable to move.

"It smells so good." Xiao Yi swallowed and stared at the pot.

The waiter said, "Everything Jiujiu makes is delicious."

Sprinkle the little four-point head and wipe the saliva.

"It'll be ready soon." Lu Cijiu flipped the pancakes one by one and closed the electric griddle. He quickly mixed a bowl of cold dishes: cucumber, dried tofu, greens, mushrooms, whatever he could find in the refrigerator.

The cold dishes are ready, and the meat patties and fish soup are also ready.

Before Lu Cijiu even said it was time for dinner, Gong Xichao came over without him noticing.

It’s not that the eldest son doesn’t like to work, he just chooses the work he does.

"Fish soup." Gong Xichao raised his chin.

Lu Cijiu handed over the casserole and asked curiously, "Do you Kuns eat your own kind?"

Gong Xichao, who was about to leave with the casserole, suddenly stopped. He spoke in a dangerous tone, narrowing his eyes slightly, emitting a cold air, "Human, are you saying that Kun and fish are the same species? Huh?"

This squinting eyes, the domineering tone of the boss, huh? Lu Cijiu understood, and said with a desire to survive: "I am ignorant, I am not sensible, Brother Gong, don't misunderstand me, come come and eat."

The four cubs guarding the door cheered happily, "It's time to eat."

The meat patty was crispy and crumbly, with a non-greasy aroma of chopped green onions and meat. It was paired with a delicious fish soup and refreshing cold dishes. The kids' mouths were full of food, their eyes sparkling, and they couldn't help but praise: "Jiujiu is great." "Excellent." "I love Jiujiu the most." This is Xiaoyi.

Since his grandfather's passing, Lu Cijiu had rarely felt this kind of satisfaction. He felt happy when his food was recognized and praised. Touching the four heads, the children's dependence on him, and he also became dependent on the Shanhai Shelter.

This is his new home.

Looking at Gong Xichao who was drinking his second bowl of fish soup next to him, the sculpture looked really beautiful and pleasing to the eye under the warm light of the bulb. It would be even better if he didn't speak or look at people coldly and just listened to his father.

Gong Xichao paused slightly while drinking the soup.

The human looked at him with such passionate eyes, so infatuated with him that it was impossible for them to want to sleep in a separate bed from him. There must be other purposes. Maybe this is what humans call playing hard to get?

"Don't eat too much."

Lu Cijiu looked away and saw Xiaoyi and Xiaoer starting to eat the third piece of cake. He quickly stopped them. Although the four were demons, they were also cubs, so they still had to control themselves. He couldn't help but say, "If something tastes good, you have to eat it slowly. Love requires restraint, just like when you see a flower by the roadside, if you like it, you can't pick it..."

As he spoke, he dispersed.

The four cubs nibbled the biscuits in small bites, and listened to the chirping voice, telling them to control themselves and love the biscuits.

At this time, Gong Xichao showed a proud look. What did he say? This human really loved him.

Love requires restraint.

That's why we sleep in separate beds.

Humans must be reluctant to sleep separately.
