Chapter 170 How did I survive to this age?
Lu Qiu maneuvered the wheelchair over and saw his eldest brother looking at his parents with a frown. His parents also frowned at his eldest brother. Neither side spoke for a while.
This kind of atmosphere is not uncommon. It appears every time the family makes a major decision or holds a small meeting to express dissatisfaction.
Now, his parents are dissatisfied with his eldest brother again?
"I initiated this family meeting. Let me express my dissatisfaction." Brother Lu said, "I don't care about it when I grow up. It's my duty to take care of Xiaoqiu."
At this point, Brother Lu looked at Lu Qiu and explained, "Today's family meeting is not aimed at you, but mainly at my parents. You can just sit in."
Lu Qiu glanced at Brother Lu, then at his parents.
Father Lu made a "9" gesture to him, and Lu Qiu understood that this meant his elder brother had drunk too much.
"Yeah." After hearing what Brother Lu said, Lu Qiu nodded to Brother Lu to indicate that he understood. He was just eavesdropping and asked them to continue.
"Look, when I was a kid, you once made me stand facing the wall for five hours as punishment. I was only eight or nine years old at that time. You were so cruel to me. I remember I didn't do anything." Brother Lu, under the influence of alcohol, told everything about his childhood.
"Huai Jin, you just drank a little bit of wine, right?" said Father Lu.
"Yeah." Brother Lu nodded, "I'm not drunk, I'm sober, I don't have blackouts, I'll remember all the conversations tomorrow, should this be considered my childhood trauma?"
Brother Lu wasn't sure how to describe it. In fact, he had a very happy childhood. After all, he had to make a complaint today, so he could only bring it up and talk about it.
"Childhood trauma?" Father Lu sneered and shook his head slightly, as if he had heard something ridiculous.
"Oh, let me tell you the story," said Mother Lu. "You were only in the second grade at that time. You secretly removed the curtains at home and were about to jump from the second floor. After your nanny stopped you, you took an umbrella and ran to the third floor to jump. The nanny couldn't catch up with you. Fortunately, she pulled you back in the end."
Brother Lu was silent: "......"
"What about the slap on the palm when you were five?"
Father Lu: "You secretly poured detergent into the rice cooker after cooking."
Brother Lu: "When you were six years old, you chased me and beat me up?"
"On my birthday, you gave me a bunch of white flowers made of white paper." said Lu's mother.
"When I was seven years old, I picked him up and punched his stomach..."
Mother Lu: "During the Chinese New Year, you insisted on feeding the sugar-covered dumplings that I made for you to your three-year-old brother. When we tried to stop you, you swallowed them yourself, and then you got stuck."
Father Lu: "That's not a fight, right? That's first aid, and it's not the stomach, right?"
"Ten years old..."
"You sneaked into the garage, started the car, and then crashed into three cars in the garage." Father Lu said, "You picked the most expensive one, hit a similarly expensive one, and finally crashed into the wall."
Brother Lu stopped talking. He looked at his parents and Lu Qiu, who had been silent, for a long time, and said weakly, "How did I live to this age?"
"You are the first child in the family, and we two should have a loving relationship with you."
Brother Lu left in embarrassment. Before leaving, he drank a glass of wine in front of his parents. I don’t know if he wanted to apologize or to black out himself.
After Brother Lu left, Lu Qiu asked, "I see my former name was Lu Huairui, why did you change my name?"
"You were in poor health before you were five years old. You were weak and sickly and were often hospitalized." Mother Lu's tone softened. "Then we took you to see doctors everywhere. International expert consultations were useless. Finally, we had no choice but to ask around and found a master of metaphysics. He said that you were already blessed with great fortune, so I just needed to give you a simple name. He also said that he could ensure that you would be safe until you were twenty-three. Sure enough, after you turned twenty-three, your legs started to..."
Mother Lu glanced at Lu Qiu and said nothing more.
Lu Qiu was a little surprised to hear this answer. So this was the situation. He had never known this.
It was no wonder that when he had problems with his legs, his parents' first reaction was to find a doctor. He didn't really believe in this, so he was always resistant. It was his eldest brother who insisted on finding one for him, and the plan he gave him was to go to Jianguo...
"Mom and Dad, do you still remember who you invited? Can we still contact them now?" Lu Qiu asked hurriedly.
Father Lu shook his head. "That's the weird part. You said that if we met someone like this even if it was more than 20 years ago, we should remember to leave contact information, but we didn't. Moreover, as time went by, we couldn't even remember whether the other person was a man or a woman, or what they looked like. We just remembered that there was such a person who solved such a problem."
After Father Lu finished speaking, Mother Lu quickly said, "Xiao Qiu, we know you don't believe this, so don't resist us even if we tell you this. After all, this world is so big that there are all kinds of things. Science and metaphysics are just different theories. Mom and Dad know that you are a staunch materialist, and we don't ask you to believe this..."
"Not firm either." Lu Qiu whispered.
Mr. and Mother Lu were stunned.
"I remember that every year when my family returns to the ancestral home for the New Year, they would invite a Feng Shui master to check the Feng Shui of the ancestral home." Lu Qiu pursed his lips, "If there is no conflict, I would also like to invite one to go."
After these words were spoken, Mr. and Mrs. Lu were speechless. If their son was not the same son, they would have suspected that the person in front of them was someone else!
Lu Qiu lowered his head and touched the hair on his forehead. He didn't know what to say for a moment. Not to mention that he was no longer a staunch materialist. Whenever he was in doubt, he wanted to ask Xia Wange first. After all, he had been to the underworld once and had seen the ghost messenger. He didn't know how many times he had seen ghosts...
Xia Wange is actually more materialistic than him.
Lu Qiu returned to the room and took a look at Xia Wange's message. Looking at the series of names, he found that there were no taboos and they were more unrestrained than other people's naming.
And her last few words.
[I fell asleep first, and I felt my eyelids twitching, as if both eyes were twitching. ]
[Eh? It seems to be my right eyelid. I must be too tired today. I'm going to sleep first.]
From Xia Wange's bunch of names such as "Are you dead?", "Reincarnated?", "Does it count?", "Who are you?", etc., Lu Qiu picked out a name that looked relatively pleasing to the eye - "Count".
Then continue to turn on the computer to help optimize it, so that it can be put into use as soon as possible.
One side stayed awake all night, while the other side slept soundly.
Xia Wange indeed caught a cold. After all, virtue cannot keep away the cold, and she had no energy in her body. Without calling upon any energy, she was just a weakling.
The next afternoon, when she woke up in a daze, she saw a bunch of people from the Xuanmen sending her private messages, and the private message page had rarely reached 99+. At first, Xia Wange thought that the sky was falling in the metaphysics world, but after quickly reading all the private messages, she realized that the sky was falling on her side.
