"Big brother, you haven't gone back yet?" Lu Xiaojun was very surprised.
Lu Yuan glanced at the few teenagers beside him, then at the bowls of dumplings on their table, and gave a soft "hmm".
Lu Xiaojun hurriedly explained, "Brother, they are my classmates. I took some photos for them these past two days, and they dragged me to the state-run restaurant to express their gratitude."
Lu Yuan nodded slightly to those classmates.
"Then enjoy your meal."
Cheng Yanqiu asked, "Lu, is this your younger brother?"
He had never heard that Lu had a younger brother.
Lu Yuan nodded, "Yes, Lu Xiaojun."
Then he introduced Lu Xiaojun, "This is my friend Cheng Yanqiu, you can just call him Brother Cheng."
Lu Xiaojun hurriedly called out, "Brother Cheng!"
Cheng Yanqiu exclaimed "Oh!" and began rummaging through his pockets for a gift.
He actually brought quite a few gifts, but they were all in his suitcase, which was in the car.
After thinking for a moment, he took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out some money without counting it, and stuffed it into Lu Xiaojun's hand.
Lu Xiaojun refused to accept the money, waving his hand in refusal. He thought it was too much money to give someone so readily upon meeting them; it was probably over a hundred yuan.
“Since you are Lu’s younger brother, you are also my younger brother. This is a gift for us to meet. Please take it,” Cheng Yanqiu said.
Lu Xiaojun retreated repeatedly, saying, "I can't accept this."
He looked to Lu Yuan for help.
Lu Yuan stopped Cheng Yanqiu, "You gave too much. He was frightened. A small gift is enough."
"Too much? You still think it's too little?"
Cheng Yanqiu counted out five large unison bills and stuffed them into the purse strings.
"It can't be any less."
Lu Xiaojun held the money, at a loss, and looked at Lu Yuan with difficulty.
Lu Yuan smiled and gestured for Lu Xiaojun to accept it.
"Since it's a gift from your brother Cheng, just accept it. He'll be staying at our house for a while. If you feel bad about it, just go back and get some wild game for your brother Cheng later."
Once Lu Yuan spoke, Lu Xiaojun stopped refusing and happily accepted it.
"Thank you, Brother Cheng!"
Lu Yuan and Cheng Yanqiu found a place to sit down, and while ordering, they also ordered braised pork and minced meat stewed with vermicelli for Lu Xiaojun's table.
They're all just kids, how can a few dumplings be enough to fill them up?
Lu Xiaojun's classmate thanked him happily.
Lu Xiaojun and his classmates finished their meal quickly. They had to go back to school for class, so they said goodbye to Lu Yuan and Cheng Yanqiu and left first.
Lu Yuan and Cheng Yanqiu didn't linger in the county town for long; after dinner, they drove back to Changhe Brigade.
Cheng Yanqiu was very interested in the scenery along the way. Although the conditions in China were far inferior to those abroad, he did not regret returning to China with Lu Yuan and his group.
With Lu Yuan's vision and promises, he believed that poverty and backwardness were only temporary, and that the country would become rich and powerful in the future.
It was already evening when the two arrived home. Lu Yuan had called home beforehand to say he was bringing Cheng Yanqiu over.
When I got home, my family had already prepared a meal and were waiting for me.
Cheng Yanqiu was so surprised when he saw the table full of little kids gathered around it that his jaw almost dropped.
"Lu, does your family own a kindergarten?"
Lu Yuan introduced them with a smile, "They are all my sons."
"Oh my god, you have so many sons? I thought you only had two."
Lu Yuan smiled and pointed to the little ones, "They are."
There was no specific correction that Yu Zhenghui is his wife's nephew.
"This is your Uncle Cheng, greet him."
Sanbao led the way, saying, "Hello, Uncle Cheng!"
The other children joined in, shouting, "Hello, Uncle Cheng!"
Cheng Yanqiu's eyes lit up as he looked at the lovely children.
Wow, a group of adorable little angels!
Lu Yuan then introduced Wen Moxue and Grandpa Liu to him.
The group greeted each other and then sat down to eat.
After just one meal, Cheng Yanqiu completely fell in love with Lu Yuan's family.
Today's meal was cooked by Lu Xiaoqin again. In fact, Wen Moxue took over the cooking duties after Lu Xiaoqin got married. However, knowing that Wen Moxue is pregnant again, Lu Xiaoqin has been helping with the cooking these past few days.
After preparing the food, we took it home so as not to delay their family's meal.
Since arriving at the Changhe Brigade, Cheng Yanqiu has been quite content and reluctant to leave. Lu Yuan wrote down a detailed development plan for the future and gave it to him, and he stayed there day after day, not wanting to leave.
He had various reasons: the little angels were too cute for him to part with, the food was too delicious for him to part with, and the members of the brigade were too enthusiastic for him to part with.
He couldn't bear to part with even the rabbits and fat pigs on the farm, or the weeds in the fields.
Lu Yuan's original plan was for him to first go to Hong Kong to set up a company. His overseas Chinese status would make it easier for him to go to Hong Kong. Once he had developed and laid a solid foundation in Hong Kong, he could come to the mainland to invest and set up a factory after the opening up. Who knew that this guy was unwilling to leave for the time being.
Seeing that he genuinely enjoyed the rural life, Lu Yuan went along with it and let him stay longer.
More than a month passed in the blink of an eye. Lu Xiaojun had graduated from high school and returned home, and only then did Cheng Yanqiu think about leaving.
Lu Yuan was worried that it wouldn't be safe for him to go to Hong Kong alone, so he specifically discussed it with Zhao Zhiyi and applied for several security personnel and assistants.
The condition was that Cheng Yanqiu would continue to donate money as he earned it in the future.
In the end, Qian Bing and three members of the special operations team were assigned to the position. As for the assistant, Lu Yuan assigned Sun Maodou.
Lu Yuan originally planned to go in person, but now that his wife is pregnant again, he just wants to stay and be with her.
They still had $35 million in hand, and Lu Yuan gave them $15 million in start-up capital before they left.
In the past, we would first set up a trading company, mainly to export the good products from the mainland.
For example, furniture from the county furniture factory, canned goods from the provincial cannery, and dried rabbits and dried chickens from the Changhe Brigade, etc.
The trading company was doing well, and it started to break even within a few months.
When Cheng Yanqiu shared this good news with Lu Yuan, the policy of resuming the college entrance examination was also announced.
The whole country was celebrating. Students with dreams were almost overjoyed. The educated youth in Changhe Brigade and those who could take the college entrance examination cried and laughed, spreading the news to each other. After calming down, they started looking for review materials everywhere.
Even though Lu Xiaojun had heard Lu Yuan mention the resumption of the college entrance examination earlier, Lu Yuan deliberately said it was at the end of the year.
It's only October now, and the news that we've been waiting for suddenly came ahead of schedule, which is a pleasant surprise.
The exciting moment came so unexpectedly, I'm so excited.
However, he quickly calmed down and studied even harder.
He thought he had plenty of time to review, but now time is even tighter. Fortunately, he started reviewing six months in advance and has plenty of materials, so he feels more confident.
While everyone was immersed in the joy of the resumption of the college entrance examination, Lu Yuan was in dire straits.
Wen Moxue is about to give birth again.
Perhaps she had developed an immunity from drinking too much spiritual spring water, but this time Wen Moxue clearly felt that giving birth was more strenuous and took longer than the previous times.
However, Wen Moxue was in good spirits.
"Push harder, you can see the head."
The midwives were still Wang Hongmei and Aunt Lu.
As soon as Wang Hongmei finished speaking, Wen Moxue cooperated by straining, and said to Lu Yuan, word by word, "Brother Yuan, this time it's definitely a girl!"
