Chapter 17



It’s too late to connect to the internet today, but the furniture owner in town delivered a bed and a wardrobe.

Gong Xichao sat on a chair in the main room the whole time, staring at the furniture owner with cold eyes.

"Young man, your old house is quite cool." The boss felt chilly.

Lu Cijiu said casually: "The blue brick and tile house is on the hillside, so it is quite cool. You still need to cover yourself with a quilt at night."

Because Lu Ci bought a lot of old things—the four beds for the kids were also bought from the boss before. Since he was a regular customer, the boss brought his assistants with him today. The two of them assembled the cabinet bed quickly.

Before it got dark, the wardrobe and bed were tidied.

Lu Cijiu washed the strawberries he had bought that morning and gave a bag of them to the master, saying, "Eat them on the way. Thank you for today."

"Oh, you're welcome. It's my pleasure."

After seeing off the boss and his staff, Lu Cijiu happily ran towards the bedroom.

He can finally sleep on his own!

No need to worry about being disliked when you are next to Mr. Diao anymore!

They stood in a row at the door, their eyes sparkling. Xiaoyi said first: "Jiujiu, you have a new bed!"

"Yeah." Lu Cijiu looked at the bed against the wall in the corner. He had finally gone from living in a university dormitory with six people to living in with only two people, and the bed was still 1.5 meters long. This was progress in life.

The waiter glanced at Gong Xichao and asked worriedly, "Don't you like Uncle Gong?"

Why do we have to sleep in separate beds?

Gong Xichao in the main room thought to himself, bullshit, you, Jiji, love him the most. You like him so much that you can't wait to stick to him. You secretly take advantage of him at night and even act coquettishly and confess your love to him in front of outsiders during the day. How can I not like him?

What do you, a little dragon cub, know!

Thinking this in his mind, Gong Xichao glanced over indifferently.

Lu Cijiu: ...Here it comes, it’s the desire to survive that’s the answer.

With a serious face, he said, "Of course not. Brother Gong is such a nice person, how could I not like him? Sleeping in separate beds, just like you guys, don't you like Sasa, Xiao Si, and Xiao Yi?"

The waiter immediately shook his head.

"You see, sleeping in separate beds doesn't mean anything." Lu Cijiu finished speaking and secretly glanced in the direction of Diao Zong. Didn't his previous promise trigger any landmines? But he saw Diao Zong's head turned to the side, as if he hadn't heard.

= =

Gong Xichao lowered the corners of his mouth, with pride in his eyes, he knew it!

How could humans not like him?

After dinner in the evening, Lu Cijiu remembered to ask how much red envelope Lin Zhenguo gave him today. He was stunned by the limited VIP number along the way, and when he came back to get laid, he forgot to ask.

"Only one hundred thousand." Gong Xichao said lightly.

Lu Cijiu: !!! One hundred thousand, that’s all!

Lu Cijiu never hid the family's financial situation in front of the kids. When they had no money, everyone worked hard together. Now that they had money, the kids felt confident and no longer worried that if they ate an extra piece of cake, Jiujiu would not be able to afford a meal.

"Are there a lot of chirps?" Xiaoyi asked.

Lu Cijiu said: "You can buy a lot of cakes, fruits and chickens." Finally, Xiaoyi's eyes lit up.

"Wow." Sasa Roulian was stunned.

Xiao Si was no longer distracted.

"This one hundred thousand, plus sixty-eight thousand, there is still more than twenty-six thousand left from the thirty thousand last time." Lu Cijiu didn't expect his family to become rich all of a sudden. He calculated the basic expenses, such as water, electricity, cameras, computers, etc., and at least there is still -

Gong Xichao accurately reported the remaining amount.

"One hundred and seventy-three thousand eight hundred."

Lu Cijiu: ...Every time when it comes to settling accounts, he seems so stupid.

"Okay, let's have a big meal tomorrow to celebrate and make chicken hotpot." Lu Cijiu made the final decision.

So that night, everyone washed up and went to bed early. Except for Gong Xichao, who tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, the four little ones all drooled as they fell asleep, looking forward to the next day. Lu Cijiu was even worse, having a bed all to himself, wearing shorts and a singlet, sleeping with his legs spread out, wishing he could put his feet above his head.

In the darkness, Gong Xichao saw a sleeping figure on the large carved bed.

In the past, it was indeed very difficult for humans to restrain themselves when sleeping with him.

He really loves me. Gong Xichao thought, and the irritability disappeared, and it was time to sleep.

Hospital VIP ward.

Lin Xuan was lucky enough to be pushed out of the operating room with only a broken leg and two ribs, not to mention some scrapes. When he finally opened his eyes, he saw his mother in the ward.

"Where's my dad?"

"At the company." Aunt Yan felt sorry for her son and said, "Don't worry, your father is fine. With Master Lu here, the villain who is behind this will definitely be found."

Lin Xuan felt dizzy. He had been in a car accident and his father was at the company catching ghosts with that liar?

What are you doing?

Is he his biological son?

"If it weren't for Master Lu's amulet, your father might not have escaped. He is so old, and he only has one amulet. Fortunately, it was given to your father. You are young and can handle it..." Aunt Yan said.

Lin Xuan: ???

After waiting for a long time until the next day, his father finally remembered his son who had a broken leg in the hospital bed. As soon as he entered the door, he said happily, "Master Lu is really a god."

Lin Xuan: ...My lungs hurt so much.

A while later, his father received a call from his assistant. He didn't know what was said on the other end, but his brows lit up with joy, and he slapped his thigh and said, "Is that son of a bitch Zhou Xin dead?"

Lin Xuan was confused. Is Zhou Xin the Uncle Zhou?

"Master Lu said it would backfire. Zhou Xin got his comeuppance just one night. He deserved it." Lin Zhenguo said cheerfully.

Zhou Xin suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage early this morning and is still in the emergency room.

"No, one hundred thousand is too much." Lin Zhenguo said to his secretary, "Didn't we order a set of innovative Chinese furniture last time? I see there's a vacancy in the main hall at Master Lu's place. Send it over there. Remember to be polite and say I'm sending it to the institute. Tell the master to feel free to throw it away if he doesn't like it, and keep it if he likes it."

Lin Xuan on the bed:??? His dad gave Lu the liar 100,000 yuan and it wasn’t enough. He also really likes that set of innovatively designed Chinese furniture. He ordered it a month ago. It’s worth over 300,000 yuan. And they’re sending it over right now???

Don’t like throwing things away?

What kind of magic potion did the liar Lu feed his father when he was not around!

Dad, are you losing your mind?!

Lin Xuan endured the pain in his lungs and said, "Dad, what kind of master is he? He's just a liar. I'm your son in the hospital, and you're still calling me master. Am I your biological son or not?" He felt aggrieved when he said that.

"How old are you? You have doctors and nurses to see the doctor, and your mother is with you. Why are you still breastfeeding and need your father to stay here to take care of your shit and piss?" Lin Zhenguo scolded his son rudely and said sternly, "Be polite and respectful to Master Lu from now on. If I hear you calling Master Lu a liar again, I'll whip you!"

Lin Zhenguo hurried to leave after saying this. "That bastard Zhou Xin is in trouble, so of course he's taking advantage of his illness to make a killing. There's no such thing as moral justice when it comes to business wars!"

Lin Xuan: Did I really pick it up?

My husband asked about my son's condition yesterday when he came out of the operating room. He said it was nothing serious, he just needed to rest. Aunt Yan saw her son's panic-stricken look and couldn't help but say, "You're a grown man. I'm not saying anything bad about you, but can you be more obedient and sensible in the future? Don't make your father angry. Learn more from Junbo..."

Lin Xuan covered his chest and pressed the emergency bell. He was suffocating and lacking oxygen and needed emergency treatment, otherwise he would not survive.

Of course, Lu Cijiu had no idea about Lin Xuan's self-rescue in the hospital.

Early that morning, I had chicken soup simmering in a clay pot on the stove. I took the bus to town and bought a simmered hot pot, hot pot base, various vegetable toppings, and a charcoal stove. On my way back, I happened to catch the same bus as Wang Yue'e.

"Oh, Master Lu, why did you buy so many things? Let me carry them." Wang Yue'e picked up the heavy fruit charcoal and mud road.

Lu Cijiu: ... "Thank you. My family is having hotpot today, so I'll come over."

Wang Yue'e helped Master Lu put away her things. When it came time to buy the tickets, Wang Yue'e rushed to buy them for Master Lu out of her own pocket. Lu Cijiu felt a little embarrassed and said, "You don't have to be like this, big sister."

"Hey, Master Lu, don't argue with me about this. You are my, Wang Yue'e's benefactor, so this is nothing." Wang Yue'e has a straightforward and decisive personality.

Lu Cijiu tried to decline but could only thank him, thinking that he should buy a car.

The institute runs to town all day, so there are many people and they buy a lot. Now that I have a little more savings, it is still feasible to buy an electric three-wheeled scooter for transportation. When I got off the car, Wang Yue'e enthusiastically helped to carry my things and watched me all the way.

As soon as Lu Cijiu got off the station, he saw Gong Xichao and his group 1, 2, 3, and 4 waiting for him.

I don't know why, but I felt happy and joyful.

"It's so hot, why did you run out?"

Gong Xichao saw the human's tanned cheeks and the thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and said, "It's these four who came here. It's none of my business." He took the heaviest stove in his hand.

"Jiujiu, can I get the food?" Xiaoyi asked.

"Jiujiu, I'm very strong now."

The waiter wants to get something heavier.

Sasa and Xiaosi nodded in agreement and wanted to help with the work.

Lu Cijiu divided the food among the children, letting each take a little. In the end, he was the most relaxed. Six people lined up on the sidewalk, their heights adjusted. Little One, holding a bag of vegetables, inhaled the aroma and said, "Chiu-chiu, the chicken in the oven smells so good."

"Let's start as soon as we get back." Lu Cijiu touched his little head.

The main room was cool, with a stone slab on the table and a clay stove lit with charcoal from fruit trees. A double-boiled pot was set up, half filled with chicken soup, half spicy, and the other half with fresh seasonal vegetables, meat rolls, noodles, and so on.

In less than a month, the cubs have adapted to the new diet and are now fair and tender, especially Sasa, whose face is chubby. Now they all stare at the stove with curious eyes, as they have never had hot pot before!

Tweet, that’s great.

Lu Cijiu picked up some meat and vegetables for the kids, but he was afraid they would get burned because it was a stove. He turned around and found that there was a bowl of blanched meat and vegetables in it.

The eldest son actually takes care of and loves his father!!!

"Human, don't be too moved."

But you looked like, "You're so touched, are you going to cry?" and "Come and praise me, otherwise it won't stop."

Lu Cijiu: ... "Brother Gong, you are so kind. I am really touched."

Gong Xichao suppressed the upturned corners of his mouth. He couldn't let humans misunderstand that he didn't like humans.

After dinner, they were sweating all over. Xiaoyi and Xiaoer took their younger siblings to wash their faces, then climbed into bed for a nap. Lu Cijiu packed up and took a shower, feeling much cooler, when he heard the phone ring.

"Hello, is this Master Lu? I'm the secretary of General Lin Zhenguo. General Lin wants to send some furniture to the institute. He's at the Haishan intersection. Excuse me..."

"Oh, I'll be right there. Wait a minute, I'll open the door."

Lu Cijiu opened the door and saw a large truck at the bottom of the slope.

Secretary Lin Zhenguo saw the place and directed the workers to move the goods. He said politely and respectfully, "Boss Lin said if you like it, you can keep it. If you don't like it, it's okay to throw it away."

Lu Cijiu thought that since Lin Zhenguo said so, it should not be expensive and was probably discarded, so he politely thanked him and asked the workers to move it in.

Later one day, Lu Cijiu made his first video and some netizens recognized the furniture.

What the hell am I seeing? This set looks like the latest creation from a famous up-and-coming furniture designer. 380,000 RMB per set…
