Grandpa He was helped out of the car by He Yurou. The villagers were still quite intimidated by him and took a few steps back to keep their distance from the vehicle.
Yunping and Lu Chunhe got off the car first, and she went to the back of the car to get her wheelchair.
Lu Chunhe carried Lu Sen out of the car, and the three of them hurriedly went into the house.
As for Lu Jiayan, it was Lu Jingxing and Lu Jingming who carried him out of the car.
An Wan was then helped out of the car by Lu Zhili, carrying a small basket filled with wedding candy and red eggs.
This was to celebrate Lu Jiayan's successful surgery and safe return home.
One basket of wedding candy is definitely not enough to go around, so this time we prepared five baskets of wedding candy and eggs to ensure that everyone in the village gets some.
There are also pastries from the snack shop, five flavors, totaling 120 jin (60 catties).
It's enough to distribute about two pounds to each household, and it's packaged in delicate little boxes.
"My fourth son, Jiayan, had a very successful surgery. Today, my family has specially prepared candy and eggs to share with everyone as a token of our joy. Please don't be shy, come and take some!"
Lu Sen's voice was loud and clear in front of others, and he no longer had the inferiority and gloom he had when he first came home.
The six Lu brothers stood side by side, their handsome appearances and noble bearing making them stand out from ordinary people and truly stunning.
They were all carrying fruit baskets and pastries, and the villagers first let the children come over to take the gifts.
Niu Ahong and her family came to help distribute the gifts; there were just too many people.
There are plenty of candies, so everyone can take a lot.
However, the pastries were limited, and each household had to receive one.
But some people are never satisfied and always want to take advantage, so they secretly take a few pastries with them.
The sharp-eyed villagers noticed that Lu Jiayan looked quite well, indicating that the surgery he underwent abroad was indeed a success.
It is estimated that after a period of rest, he will very likely be able to stand up, walk, and run again.
The scene was incredibly lively.
"Congratulations, Lu Sen! You've made a fortune opening your shop, and your son has successfully recovered from surgery."
"Your luck is about to change! Lu Sen, your family is about to have a turn of good fortune. I heard you're building a new house, that's great! Congratulations!"
"Paying off the debts and building a new house so quickly, Lu Sen, you're really something! Just wait and see! The best is yet to come. Look, your eldest son excels in his studies and became the top scorer in the college entrance examination. In ancient times, that would be considered a top scholar! Hahaha—"
Several middle-aged men stepped forward and flattered Lu Sen, their eyes seeming quite sincere, without any envy or mockery.
An Wan could sense it, but others didn't seem to feel the same way.
While offering candy and pastries and saying congratulatory words, their eyes concealed greed and disdain.
"The Lu family had a lot of trouble recently, their house collapsed and they were homeless. But in just half a month, they've opened a shop and built a house again. They're really lucky."
"Absolutely! I thought his family was doomed, destitute and homeless. But in the blink of an eye, they paid off their debts, opened a shop, built a house, their fourth son recovered from surgery, and their eldest son became the top scorer in the college entrance exam. Their luck is incredible! Why doesn't my family have such good fortune?"
"Exactly, exactly. My son is also frequently sick, which worries me to death. The medicine costs tens of yuan every month, and the other children don't do well in school. It's such a waste of money to send them to school."
In short, comparing yourself to others is a recipe for disaster.
A few years ago, Lu Sen's family lived the wealthiest life in the village, living in a Western-style house and driving luxury cars. They had six sons and one daughter, and were blessed with both sons and daughters, and had a large family.
People are bound to feel some envy and jealousy; it's not just a simple matter of admiration.
Because Lu Sen was not valued by his grandmother, he had a very pitiful childhood, often going hungry and cold.
He had never been to school.
He started from a lower point than everyone else, but ended up doing ten or a hundred times better than anyone else.
Some people even wished for Lu Sen Company to go bankrupt.
Unexpectedly, this actually happened one day. Because their youngest daughter was abducted, Lu Sen and his wife spent all their savings searching for her. After several years, they still hadn't found her and had lost all their money.
The fourth son suffers from a terminal illness but has no money for treatment, and the fifth son becomes mentally disabled due to accidental coal poisoning.
From then on, his family became destitute and impoverished. Many people watched the spectacle, and some even came to kick him while he was down, venting their previous dissatisfaction with Lu Sen.
A month ago, Lu Sen had another accident at the mine and almost died.
Not long after, a heavy rain washed away his house.
He tragically ended up homeless.
Unexpectedly, only about half a month after the house collapsed, Lu Sen opened a shop, his fourth son had a successful surgery, and his eldest son became the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
Today they even delivered candy and pastries to the whole village; it seems the shop made a profit.
Could it be that what Niu Ahong and her family said was true?
The Lu family's pastry shop is doing very well, unlike what Village Chief Yu said before, that business was dismal and that it would definitely close down within a month.
An Wan looked at the expressions on everyone's faces, which were quite interesting, sometimes envious, sometimes jealous, both complicated and funny.
"No need to fight, everyone gets some," Lu Chunhe shouted, urging everyone to maintain order.
His words didn't have much effect, but Lu Jingxing said gently, "Don't worry, everyone will have one."
Who wouldn't listen to the words of the top scholar?
Even old ladies and aunties who had never been to school would keep their tails between their legs and dare not make a sound in front of him.
Leading their children, they obediently lined up to receive candy and pastries.
At the back of the crowd, a few people didn't move an inch, nor did they push forward to get the candy and gifts.
These people are He Guoqiang and his family.
Seeing the Lu family taking a car back to Lujia Village, they quickly drove back as well.
