"Tails is worried about you."
Lu Cijiu said to the well, it looks like the big dragon is not in any danger.
"It's pitch black in there, and the water's icy. Can we get out?"
Dalong's cheerful voice suddenly faded, and he said pitifully, "Chirp, I can't get up there."
Lu Bijiu: ...
He smiled helplessly, "I'll put the barrel down. Watch your head. Brother Gong, give me some light."
"Let him stay in there," Gong Xichao said, not taking the phone Lu Cijiu handed him. With a snap of his fingers, the entire wellhead suddenly became bright as day. Seeing the human looking at him, Gong Xichao raised his chin slightly and said coldly, "Let him go."
Lu Cijiu: The cold and arrogant eldest son.
The barrel was lowered into the well and quickly reached the bottom. "Dalong, be careful. Are you in?"
"It's so dark." Dalong's voice sounded a little aggrieved.
Gong Xichao snorted coldly, probably meaning that you should go down and play by yourself.
Lu Cijiu pulled at the rope. Dalong, despite his small size, felt heavy sitting on the barrel, and the pull was straining. Above him, another hand appeared, slender and graceful, with strong joints. Lu Cijiu glanced in the direction of the hand's owner. Gong Xichao twisted his face and said, "You humans really don't have much strength."
"Thank you, Brother Gong." Lu Cijiu said with a smile.
Sure enough, I saw a hint of embarrassment on Mr. Diao's face.
Hehe, he was right last night.
The eldest son is a pure, innocent and shy elementary school student.
The wooden barrel quickly and steadily reached the mouth of the well, and the big dragon sat inside with the dragon horns on its head exposed. In the light, the exposed skin and forehead were covered with a layer of tender yellowish scales.
His little hands were tightly grasping the rope, his clothes were soaking wet, and there was still half a bucket of water in the wooden barrel, but he said it was heavy.
"Chirp." Dalong lowered his head, knowing that he had made a mistake today.
Jiujiu said that you can’t cling to the well mouth, or you will fall in.
"Are you cold?" Lu Cijiu didn't blame Dalong first, but hugged him and said, "Let's go and take a shower together."
The other three Babas followed Jiujiu, and Dalong instantly turned into a good boy, nestling in Jiujiu's arms and not daring to move, with a happy smile on his face. When he saw his uncle looking at him again, he lowered his head embarrassedly and lay on Jiujiu's shoulder.
The water heater in the bathroom was newly installed, and the hot water came out immediately. The kids took off their clothes and put them in a basket beside them, then started taking a shower.
Only then did Lu Cijiu see that some parts of the dragon's scales were covered with human skin while others were covered with human skin.
I'll have to ask Mr. Diao later.
After taking a hot shower, Lu Cijiu put on home clothes for everyone one by one.
"Don't rush back to sleep, let's go to the living room and chat." Lu Cijiu invited the kids to come and sit down.
The cubs took up positions on either side of Jiujiu, while Gong Xichao sat in a solitary seat, his expression cold. Lu Cijiu had just begun to discuss the dragon's scales when Gong Xichao shifted into a comfortable position and said, "It's normal. He's a dragon with impure bloodline, so his scales are growing slowly. He needs to soak in water regularly."
No wonder.
Dalong nodded and stretched out his arm for Jiujiu to see. "My skin is dry and uncomfortable. I really want to go down the well."
"It's the dragon's instinct." Gong Xichao said calmly, "It won't drown."
Yinglong has wings, can fly up to the sky and dive into the sea, and is the master of gentle breezes and rain.
But Dalong is different from Yinglong. Dalong is a hybrid of Yinglong and human. Now, human habits take over, and the dragon bloodline is slowly awakening. While growing scales, it needs to be soaked in water regularly and frequently.
"How about buying a bathtub?" Lu Cijiu suggested tentatively.
Gong Xichao: "It can barely hold up for a while."
?
"Human, let's build a swimming pool." Gong Xichao said with some excitement. After he finished speaking, he saw the human looking at him, and then he regained his composure and said coldly: "I'm doing this for Xiaolong's own good."
Lu Cijiu: I always feel like you are smuggling something ulterior motive.
Oh~
Kunpeng has two forms, and Boss Diao probably also wants to play in the water.
Lu Cijiu took out his phone and checked how much it would cost to build a swimming pool.
!!!
More than one million? ! !
They have the land, so they should be able to get it cheaper. The entire Haishan is his. Lu Cijiu met Dalong and Diao Zong's gaze, hesitated, and said, "I'll ask about the project."
"If we build a swimming pool, we won't have money to send the kids to kindergarten." Lu Cijiu muttered to himself.
Uncle Gong Xichao x2 said: "Why go to kindergarten? Didn't you say that after building the kindergarten, you would also build an elementary school?"
“???”
"Human, you haven't forgotten, have you?" Gong Xichao half-closed his eyes.
Lu Cijiu instantly recalled how he had boasted in order to get Gong Xichao to keep the big dragon. He felt deeply moved. He was young and ignorant in the past, but now, meeting Diao Zong's eyes, his will to survive made him nod, "I want it too, but I'm short of money."
"I'm glad you didn't forget." Gong Xichao stood up, his eyes piercing as he swept across the sea and mountains. He excitedly rubbed his hands and said, "Not only a kindergarten, but we'll also build a playground when the time comes."
The road to farewell is very solemn.
The four cubs had been to the amusement park in the mall. When they heard about it, their eyes widened with sparkling light and they said one after another: "Chirp, let's build an amusement park instead of a kindergarten." "A cow farm!" "Four!"
"..." Lu Cijiu really didn't dare to speak rashly. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Let's set a goal. I'll work hard and make good money. We'll try to open a kindergarten and build a swimming pool first."
Before, Lu Cijiu thought about sending the cubs to a kindergarten run by humans, but the nearest one was a village. Not to mention the atmosphere, if Dalong suddenly grew scales today, what if the other three suddenly grew cat ears, phoenix feathers, or fox tails while they were in class in the future?
That really messed up the situation.
And the kids should learn some common sense about monsters.
After carrying the cubs back to the room to sleep, Lu Cijiu returned to the room with a heavy face. Gong Xichao took a look, snorted, and waved his sleeves. There was a bag of night pearls on the table.
Various colors.
"Humans, use it to build a kindergarten."
Lu Cijiu looked at the pearls. He didn't understand these things, but he could tell that they were of top quality. These were the ones Gong Xichao liked, so he collected them. He didn't expect that they would be given to him now. For a moment, he felt proud as an old father, but it was not enough to spend his son's pocket money.
"Okay, I'll ask you when I need you."
If he refuses directly, he won't be able to sleep tonight.
When Gong Xichao heard this, he said coldly, "I'll leave it with you and give it away. I won't take it away."
"Okay, thank you." The eldest son said. Lu Cijiu put the pearls into the cloth bag and put it in the drawer.
It's time to go to sleep.
Lu Cijiu was lying on the bed, thinking about buying a big bathtub tomorrow and putting it in the yard.
"Hot water or cold water? Isn't it a bit cold in the yard?" It was soon late autumn.
In the dark night, Gong Xichao heard this, turned over and lay on his side, his eyes fixed on the bulging human on the small bed under the window, and said, "I'm not going to make a boiled dragon." He almost said fish, it's all the human's fault!
Don’t think he doesn’t know that humans are thinking he is a fish!
"Okay, let's make the yard bigger and build a circulating water system. If it's cold, we can add hot water. We can have an open-air hot spring." The more Lu Cijiu talked, the more feasible it seemed. Although a swimming pool couldn't be built for the time being, a hot spring pool was feasible.
The remaining money can be used to build a kindergarten. A playground is not possible for now, but the kindergarten can be equipped with some slides, swings, etc. In other words, everything is done!
"I'm a genius."
Lu Cijiu felt relieved and fell asleep happily.
After a long while, Gong Xichao, who was lying on the large carved bed, whispered, "This human is really shameless, but he's still kind of cute."
It would be difficult to start construction due to the cold weather after a while, so Lu Cijiu decided to get started and directly called his old acquaintance, contractor Wang.
When Wang Hao heard that they were going to build a hot spring pool for the institute, he was very enthusiastic and said with his experience, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu. I've done hot spring pool projects before. If it's convenient today, I'll go over and take a look."
"OK."
As for the kindergarten matter, Secretary Liu came to express his gratitude last time, and the two exchanged WeChat accounts. Lu Cijiu consulted Secretary Liu on WeChat about the kindergarten procedures. He had the land, but he had a general idea of the document procedures.
Less than an hour after he finished speaking, Wu Gao called.
"Master Lu, I heard from Zhenguo that you want to build a kindergarten? Why don't you come to me? I take on projects here and am very familiar with building houses. I'll have the project planner take a look. If you have any ideas, please let me know. Don't worry, it's not free. I'll just charge for the construction materials..."
Wu Gao was too enthusiastic and arranged everything well. He also knew that the farewell party would not be free.
After hearing this, Lu Cijiu decided to accept it. The one million he received yesterday was then transferred to the Wu family.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Wu."
"You're welcome, Master Lu. I'd like to ask if you still have any study talismans. I'd like to pray for Sansheng so that he can study in peace and not cause trouble."
Lu Cijiu: ...It’s really called Three Provinces.
Of course it was given away for free, and they were a great help to him.
Wang Hao and the staff from Jingke Real Estate arrived almost at the same time. Lu Cijiu opened the door. They were all carrying something in their hands. It wasn't expensive, just a few pieces of fruit. Lu Cijiu accepted it.
Poured tea and asked everyone to sit down.
He was entertained directly at the jade bed.
A man and a woman came from Jingke Real Estate, one is a designer and the other is an engineer, both of whom are highly valued figures in the company. They were called to Mr. Gao's office early this morning. Mr. Gao said in a serious tone that he had assigned them an important task and they must do it beautifully.
The two thought it was a multi-billion dollar project, but it turned out to be a kindergarten for a shelter.
"Don't underestimate it. We will try our best to meet Master Lu's requirements. Once the kindergarten is built, you can expect your year-end bonus." Wu Gao made the promise directly, and when the two of them left, he emphasized again that they should work hard.
After Mr. Wu said this, the two men swallowed their pride, but they still felt a little overqualified. It was just a kindergarten, built so carelessly. But when they entered the institute, they first saw a large jade bed in the yard. On the small table that matched the bed was a round white porcelain plate with washed strawberries on it.
Designer Irene is an artistic person with a passion for history, art, porcelain, and more. Having visited many museums, she has a discerning eye for beauty and sophistication. Take this jade bed, for example. At first glance, she thought it was stone, but after sitting on it and touching it, she exclaimed in surprise, "Is this jade?"
"Yes." Lu Cijiu said, and casually placed the stainless steel cup in front of the guests, and said with a smile: "Everyone, have some tea."
Irene saw the out-of-place stainless steel cup being placed on the small table by the owner. It was either handled with care or placed there casually. Irene felt pity for it. She took the cup and looked at the porcelain plate on the table.
The patterns and porcelain are so beautiful.
Simple and elegant.
"Can I see the plate?" Irene asked.
Lu Cijiu didn't understand and said casually, "Okay, take your time to look at it. You two can sit down and have some tea first." He and Wang Hao worked on the pool first. The kindergarten was bigger, so they had more to discuss.
Of course, the two of them had no objection. Since the boss had given the order, they just had to listen to Master Lu.
Lu Cijiu and Wang Hao discussed the location. The front yard was quite spacious, but adding a pond would make it look a bit disproportionate. Wang Hao suggested the backyard, saying earnestly, "This side is the vegetable garden, and the well is next to it. Opposite, we can build a pond. We can then lay some cobblestone paths and plant a row of bamboo. It would be very artistic. Big hotels all have hot spring pools this way..."
A true professional.
When discussing the price, Wang Hao wanted to do it for free, but Lu Cijiu immediately said, "Everything has its cause and effect. If it's free, I won't dare to ask you for it next time."
Finally, Wang Hao quoted a reasonable price.
Lu Cijiu paid the money readily.
The pool in the backyard could be made larger, rectangular, and more suitable for cleaning. Wang Hao had thought of everything that needed to be thought of, so Lu Cijiu, an outsider, didn't need to worry about it at all. Before leaving, Lu Cijiu thought of Wang Jiaxing's senior year of high school and gave Wang Hao a study talisman.
Wang Hao was so happy that he kept thanking him.
"You're welcome. I know the price you want for the pond isn't high." Lu Cijiu said with a smile.
There is no need to feel any burden to repay favors.
Wang Hao laughed when he heard it, carefully packed the talisman paper, and quickly found workers to buy building materials for Master Lu to repair the pond!
After seeing Wang Hao off, Lu Cijiu went to the jade bed in the front yard and found Irene and Tang Yuande standing beside the bed. Irene was holding the phone in one hand and taking pictures of the bed while talking to the other party.
[…Are you sure it's real jade? Oh my god, I can tell from the camera, it's really good jade, even made into a jade bed. How big is it?]
Irene: "Estimated two meters."
【!!! The owner of this jade bed must have a mine at home!】
When Ailin saw Lu Cijiu coming over, she smiled awkwardly and said to her friend, "The owner of the yard is back. Let's talk later."
[And that plate? I initially thought it was a fake, but now that I see the jade bed, sister, it's probably the real thing.]
Because Irene accidentally pressed the voice button of her friend and played it out loud, her friend's hoarse voice came out.
Irene was embarrassed, and Lu Ci smiled at his old friend.
"I'm so sorry Mr. Lu."
"It's okay, just sit down and chat." Lu Cijiu looked at the two of them standing there and invited them to sit down.
How could Irene dare to sit down, especially after her friends told her that a bracelet made of such top-grade jade would cost millions, not to mention such a large jade bed.
What if the seat breaks?
She can't afford to pay for it!
Tang Yuande didn't know much about these things, but he didn't dare to sit down after just having received Irene's popular science education.
Seeing this, Lu Cijiu invited the two to the living room.
Entering the living room, Irene spotted the furniture. It was an innovative Chinese-style set by a renowned emerging designer, costing over 300,000 yuan. There was a limited supply, with a waiting list and a price. She loved it. She had previously thought it was a bit pricey, but now, compared to the weathered jade bed outside, it suddenly seemed like a bargain.
The kids were sitting on the sofa watching cartoons. When they saw guests coming in, they called them obediently. Gong Xichao was closest to the computer.
"Be careful with your eyes and sit back." Lu Cijiu reminded them. The cubs sat up straight and leaned back obediently, but the eldest one almost got his head stuck in the hole. His big head took up half of the screen. Lu Cijiu felt the pity and helplessness of the four cubs, but he dared not say anything.
"Sit tight, we'll buy a TV tomorrow." Lu Cijiu said.
Gong Xichao seemed not to have heard anything, his attitude still as arrogant as ever, but he just moved back slowly and naturally, as if he just wanted to move his body and didn't move aside because he heard the human say that.
Lu Bijiu: ...
"Let's talk at the dinner table."
The living room is occupied.
Tang Yuande had no objection. When Irene saw the furnishings in the room, her eyes widened. She finally understood why the boss had repeatedly told them to be careful not to offend Mr. Lu. This was not Mr. Lu, but the God of Wealth Lu.
The fruit plate at home is an antique!
That candle lamp seems to be of Han Dynasty style.
She had seen similar ones in museums, but this one was so beautiful and delicate, without any trace of dust or time. If she hadn't seen the jade bed, Irene would have suspected it was a replica, but now she didn't dare to say so.
That incense burner looks so familiar.
"Please sit down." Lu Cijiu invited him to sit down.
Irene withdrew her gaze and focused on her work, but this time she sincerely treated Master Lu as the client's father. As Irene did this, Tang Yuande also became serious.
The two were professionals. They'd heard their boss talk about designing a kindergarten, and they'd even done some research on the way here. Now, facing their employer, they were sharing their creative ideas. Lu Cijiu smiled and thought it made sense. "Wow, that's a really great idea. Oh, that multifunctional classroom is amazing and classy. Yes, yes, yes—"
Uh-huh.
“Isn’t the cost a bit high?” This was Lu Cijiu’s first time building a kindergarten. Although he didn’t understand much, many of the ideas proposed by Ms. Irene, such as the piano classroom, foreign language classroom, and multimedia classroom, sounded very expensive.
Irene smiled. "That's over three million. Master Lu is so rich, why would he care about such a small amount?"
The road to wealth and fortune: ???
"No, I still care. No, this is not a small head but a big head." Lu Cijiu said with a bald head.
By reducing the building area and removing the luxurious and aristocratic functions, only the most simple kindergarten essence remains. There is a playground, a corner for play, classrooms, a lunch break room, a dining room, a kitchen, as well as teachers' offices and dormitories.
"Isn't this too simple?" Irene thought it was too simple.
"It's not easy, it's okay." Lu Cijiu was very sure.
Irene wanted to say something, but thinking of her boss's instructions, she thought that maybe Master Lu liked the simple rural life, otherwise why would he live in such a remote place even though he was so rich!
After deciding on the idea, he went out to look at the venue. This was Tang Yuande's specialty.
Lu Cijiu said, "This mountain is all mine. The kindergarten shouldn't be too far from the shelter. It should be closer."
Both of them:!!!
Master Lu is indeed a wealthy and reclusive person!
This time, it was a bargain, just over 800,000 yuan. I still needed to buy furniture, but that wasn't urgent. Lu Cijiu saw the two off, stepped into the yard, and sighed softly.
More than 1.3 million yuan went into his pocket yesterday, and most of it went out today. It may not be enough in the future.
"I decided to become an internet celebrity." Lu Cijiu made up his mind.
For lunch, we had rice and a small stir-fry. The scrambled eggs with tomatoes were a unanimous favorite among the five cubs, aside from the meat. The cubs are growing, so every meal includes meat and soup. Lu Cijiu set up his camera and, unlike his usual hardworking self, showed a strong desire to start a business and began explaining the recipe.
After cooking, the wind started to pick up, so I went back to the house to eat.
Even food broadcasts are arranged!
While editing the video in the afternoon, Lu Cijiu discovered that Diao Zong seemed to appear on camera intentionally, and there were many shots with him. If he edited them all out like before, there would be no eating broadcast——
I'd better cut it all off.
Lu Cijiu was about to take action when he heard a cold snort from behind.
"I knew it." Gong Xichao stood behind and caught the opportunity. "In the first two videos, I clearly appeared every time, but in the end, I was not there. Human, you have to explain yourself."
This kind of thing gives the impression that the husband is having a mistress.
Lu Cijiu turned back calmly and said with a smile, "No, I thought you didn't like appearing in front of the camera. You know, I have a lot of haters online. I've been pointed at and told that although I'm a liar, I look good, and that I cook homely but I have a good face. I was afraid you couldn't stand it."
Gong Xichao: ...
The humans were deliberately trying to make fun of him!
So he squinted his eyes and gave off a cold air.
Lu Cijiu: ...not at all, and even continued: "This kind of pain, please, Brother Gong, can you share some of it with me? With your peerless beauty, I am willing to take a back seat."
"Not even a second-tier player." Gong Xichao was delighted by the compliment and said magnanimously: "The difference between you and me is strength and traffic. Don't worry, I will protect you. If anyone dares to say anything else--" with murderous intent in his eyes.
I understand, I understand, spiritual carving.
The eldest son wanted to be on camera and was supervising the work from the side, so Lu Cijiu was of course satisfied.
Weibo.
Cooking and roaming around with my dad: Daily lunch routine for a family of six ~ [heart] video.
Eighty thousand people were black. After the bloggers who won the lucky charms sent back their comments, most of them began to waver. Plus, it had been almost two weeks since Lu Cijiu posted any videos or Weibo posts, and he had no intention of becoming an influencer. Everyone calmed down and started to eat the melon all over again. One netizen broke the news, saying that Huang Hui was from the same hometown and that Huang Hui had made some money and bought a house in the county town with her son.
If the wisdom exchange was true, the entire story would be logically flawless. Huang Hui's initial denial of the wisdom exchange meant she was taking hush money from Zhou Jianmin. And most importantly, Huang Hui has always insisted that Master Lu saved her son.
【I dare not think about it too much.】
In such an environment, Lu Ci started a new blog.
Netizens who heard the news rushed to the scene and clicked on the video.
Yeah, this time you even know how to speak and introduce yourself.
Not bad, watching the experienced cooks, the home-cooked meals taste delicious.
The light is a little dim, but the facial features are still very attractive under such light.
Whatever you cook, cook me.
As the video progresses, the cubs begin to appear in the camera.
Netizens were stunned. Is there really a child? Isn't Lu Cijiu only 22 years old? Is he really a father?
I used to think that Lu Cijiu’s online name was a joke, after all, there are many jokes about calling someone “dad” on the Internet, but I never expected that he really was “dad”.
Then--
[Fuck that long-haired guy who shows up at 7:54. I need his info in three minutes. I can't bear to watch this anymore. I fell head over heels the second he showed up. Hurry and grab a front row seat!]
[Upstairs, please read the title of Lu Dad. ]
