He Sichen took Grandpa He back to the nursing home to rest, and his two old friends went along for a while.
The two elderly people planned to stay in Lujia Village for two days, visit Shenxian Mountain, and then return to the county town.
Fortunately, Grandpa He's retirement home has six rooms, otherwise there wouldn't be enough room for everyone.
An Wan said she didn't care about the two elderly people's plans.
But I'm also worried they might encounter danger, so I expect she'll go with them to Shenxian Mountain tomorrow.
Even though she was reluctant to part with Lu Jingxing, He Yurou still had to take Jiang Wanruo back to rest.
Thinking that Lu Jingxing was going to the county town in the afternoon, should she go with him?
Even when she returned to the county town, she could only see Lu Jingxing for a short time in the morning.
Each household took all fifty tables and chairs back with them; it was supposed to be the six brothers, Lu Jingxing, who helped move them to their respective homes.
Perhaps it was because those people saw the distinguished guests attending the graduation banquet that they were even more eager to curry favor with the Lu family.
They should take this opportunity to improve their relationship with the Lu family in order to gain greater benefits in the future.
Now that Lu Sen has money, they can borrow some to build a house and buy a car.
After all, they used to frequently make sarcastic remarks and look down on the Lu family.
Unexpectedly, the Lu family has made a comeback so quickly.
So each household voluntarily moved their tables and chairs back home.
This saved Lu Sen's family a lot of trouble, but Lu Chun and his brothers still had to stay in the ancestral hall to clean.
Although we don't need to move tables and chairs, the floor is covered in trash, and it will take one or two hours to clean it up.
In particular, the stains on the ground are almost all oil stains, which are very troublesome to clean.
It took a whole bag of laundry detergent to clean the ancestral hall.
An Wan and Lu Jiayan went home to rest first.
Prepare tea and snacks, and wait for Lu Chun and his four brothers to return home.
An hour later, they finally returned.
Although I was very tired, I took a shower before going back to my room and falling fast asleep.
Around 4 PM, after waking up from her afternoon nap, An Wan played cards in the living room with Lu Jiayan and Lu Zhili.
Yunping and the others packed their luggage and prepared to take a car into the county town.
We need to keep the store open for business tomorrow; we can't slack off.
They want to slack off, but I guess the guests won't allow it.
There was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.
"Second Aunt, it's me, Xiaojing. My fifth sister and I have come to see you."
Hearing Lu Xiaojing's voice, An Wan raised an eyebrow and stopped playing her cards. "I'm done playing, Fifth Brother, go open the door!"
That annoying Lu Xiaojing had to come at this time; she must have something on her mind.
A weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—it has ill intentions.
Yunping, who was packing her things, suddenly stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Lu Sen, who was drinking tea.
"Why is Xiaojing here?"
What's curious is that Lu Xiaojing and her sisters never come to visit her place, not even once a year.
We just met at noon today, why are you coming again this afternoon?
"How would I know? Maybe he just came to see you." Lu Sen
Lu Chunhe shrugged, looking bewildered. "They probably know we're heading into the county town!"
"I think she has ulterior motives. She's never been here before, so she must be after our family's wealth." Lu Yanshu mercilessly exposed Lu Sen and Lu Chunhe's wishful thinking.
He was immediately met with a fierce glare from Lu Sen.
Lu Yanshu rolled her eyes and curled her lip: "That's true. We've lived back in the village for four or five years. Have those sisters ever come to visit us?"
Just wait and see how they get slapped in the face.
Seeing Lu Yanshu roll his eyes, An Wan felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Lu Jiayan, who had initially seen Lu Yanshu roll her eyes, turned back to look at her small face and winked at her. "You started it."
"It wasn't me!" She would rather die than admit that she had corrupted Lu Yanshu and Lu Zhili.
At this moment, Lu Jingxing came to the living room with his luggage bag and also heard the noise outside.
"Let her in! Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." He pursed his lips, his calm eyes fixed on the courtyard gate outside the house.
Everyone knew that Lu Xiaojing's visit at this time was definitely for ulterior motives.
Yunping and Lusen were simply unwilling to burst this bubble.
Lu Zhili obediently ran to open the door, and then quickly ran back.
He continued playing cards with An Wan, ignoring Lu Xiaojing and Lu Xiaoli who had been left behind.
"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, and all my brothers, hello." Lu Xiaojing's voice was very soft and gentle, with a sweet and charming smile on her lips.
This is a stark contrast to his usual arrogant and rude demeanor.
When An Wan saw Lu Xiaojing's appearance, she knew that something big had happened.
Especially seeing the tattered clothes she and Lu Xiaoli were wearing, I guessed what was going on.
"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, brothers, and Sister Anwan, hello." Lu Xiaoli lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Lu Sen's family.
Her ten fingers gripped the hem of her clothes, leaving behind streaks of disarray.
"Hello, come, come sit down and have some candy." Yunping walked over and pulled the Lu Xiaojing sisters to sit on chairs to the side.
Lu Chun and his brothers also greeted them.
Seeing that Lu Xiaoli was pitiful, An Wan responded and sat down opposite her.
I didn't dare get too close to them.
"Thank you, Auntie." Lu Xiaoli put a candy in her mouth, the sweetness making her feel much more relaxed.
Lu Sen spoke cautiously: "Did you come to chat with your second aunt? You're a little late; she's about to go to town. Her pastry shop opens tomorrow."
"Ah? Second Aunt, are you going to the county town?" Lu Xiaojing looked surprised, as if she really didn't know that Yunping was going to the county town.
"I'm sorry to bother you. My fifth sister and I just wanted to talk to our second aunt. My mom just scolded us again, saying we're a money-losing burden and jinxes."
