Chapter 203 Plans
As soon as Lu Yuanqing got home, he saw Cheng Xiaobao and the other two rushing out.
Running too fast, unable to stop, I crashed into his thigh!
Lu Yuanqing staggered back several steps before regaining his balance. He then grabbed Cheng Xiaobao's clothes and, with a forceful gesture, gently slapped his bottom twice.
Why are you running so fast! You almost made me fall!
"Uncle, I heard the educated youth have arrived. My younger brother, sister, and I want to go out and see them!" Cheng Xiaobao asked him with a completely nonchalant smile!
My uncle went to pick up the educated youth. Now that my uncle is back, it means the educated youth have arrived too!
Lu Yuanqing chuckled, "We're here, go and see!"
That's about all the excitement!
"Alright! Let's go see the educated youth!"
The three of them ran away laughing!
Lu Yuanqing smiled and shook his head. He only found it novel now. As more and more educated youth came, he would lose his curiosity.
Once inside, Lu Mingdong was the only one at home.
The school was closed for a period of time, but then classes resumed.
However, news of the cancellation of the college entrance examination also spread!
Lu Mingdong was saddened for several days because of this!
Although he's still attending classes at school, he spends most of his time looking at Lu Yuanhuan's high school textbooks!
Lu Yuanqing had no choice; it was just that he happened to be there!
"Xiao Bao and the others went to see the educated youth. Aren't you going to join the fun? When I came back, a lot of people in the village had already gone to see them. It was quite a lively scene!"
Lu Mingdong curled his lip, "What's so interesting about that! They're all a bunch of idiots!"
Lu Yuanqing helplessly rubbed his head.
This guy is calling people idiots more and more often. Hopefully, he won't start calling everyone "idiot" from now on!
"They came with a heart full of enthusiasm to support rural development, and you call them idiots!" Lu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow and smiled!
Lu Mingdong rolled his eyes. "So you don't want Lu Mingxi and the others to come back!"
Lu Yuanqing's intentions were clear to him; he was clearly trying to make sure they never came back once they left. It was impossible not to see through him!
That's true, life in the city is so much better! Ask any country person, and they'll tell you, who wouldn't want to be a city dweller!
Even though their village earns as much money each year as many city dwellers, Lu Yuanqing still wants Lu Mingxi to stay in the city.
It's easy to see that it's not just about work and making money!
"Why would your sisters, who are able to leave the countryside through the college entrance exams, want to go back to the countryside? Look at your fourth uncle, he's grown up and ready to get married, so the village will approve land for him to build a house. All the boys in the village can get land, but do your aunts get any?"
“They can only stay at home when they come back, but the house is mine. Your fourth uncle’s house is his. Does it belong to your aunt and the others?”
In that instant, Lu Mingdong seemed to understand Lu Yuanqing's reason for not wanting Lu Mingxi to return to the village.
"After they got married, they didn't live in their own houses!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingdong suddenly realized what was going on!
Yes!
This includes all the boys in the village; they can get land and build houses even if they marry someone from the village.
However, no girl would approve land to build her own house.
Is this the default rule? Why has it never been?
It seems they've all grown up, gotten married, and are now living in other people's homes.
In other words, they never had their own houses; they lived with their parents when they were young and with their partners when they grew up.
Those houses don't belong to them!
They don't have a home of their own!
Lu Yuanqing smiled, pleased that he understood this.
"So, when I went to the city last time, I told your sister to work hard and not to spend money recklessly."
Work hard, and maybe you'll get a house!
Don't waste money; save it to buy a house.
Prices are low now, and houses aren't as expensive as they were in later years. Plus, he'll help, so Lu Yuanqing can guarantee that he'll get Lu Mingxi a house of her own in the city before she finds a marriage partner!
"Lu Mingxi isn't very bright. If you really want to buy her a house, then you should tell her to be smart and not get scammed!" Lu Mingdong said sternly.
puff!
Lu Yuanqing burst out laughing!
"No, where did you get the idea that your sister is stupid?"
"You can tell from anywhere!"
"She'll hit you if she hears that!"
Lu Mingdong snorted: "I'm not afraid of her!"
Lu Yuanqing silently gave him a thumbs up!
"It's okay. Once your sister has a house, she'll be the one yelling at people to get out when they argue after she gets married!"
Lu Mingdong nodded in agreement, "Then you have to make money. She might listen to Lu Mingxi's first words, but she'll definitely disobey her second!"
Lu Yuanqing smiled and shrugged in agreement.
If Lu Yuanhuan is the stingiest person who is unwilling to spend money on anything, then Lu Mingxi is the one who can't save any money he has!
Getting her to save money is indeed a very difficult thing!
"By the way, where's your fourth uncle?!" Lu Yuanqing had been home for half a day but hadn't seen Lu Yuanbo!
The three younger ones went to watch the fun. When Lu Mingnan wasn't studying, it was obvious that he had gone to the bamboo ware factory!
Lu Mingdong casually gathered up his textbooks and said, "I'm going to the commune!"
Lu Yuanqing: "He went to the commune? I didn't see him!"
He and Zhao Zhongcai didn't see anyone on their way there or on their way back!
Lu Mingdong looked up and stared at him.
Lu Yuanqing, puzzled, asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lu Mingdong sighed helplessly, "Third Uncle, I finally understand why you and your future Third Aunt haven't gotten married after all these years!"
Lu Yuanqing asked in confusion, "How did you figure that out?!"
Could it be that they realized neither he nor Gu Baoxia liked each other, and neither wanted to be gossiped about by the villagers, so neither of them brought up the matter of breaking off the engagement?
Lu Mingdong pursed his lips and shook his head in one go, "These past two years, your grandparents have been urging you two to get married, but you've both refused, saying you'd wait a little longer. You're already at the age of being old bachelors, what are you waiting for?"
The future third aunt's mother now looks at Lu Yuanqing with disdain, clearly the future son-in-law she was once satisfied with has now become a bad person who is dragging her daughter into becoming an old maid!
Lu Yuanqing pinched his little face and said, "Don't worry about our affairs!"
Now, whenever he sees his uncle, aunt, or aunt, he hides.
Since they saw him, there's only one topic they can talk about!
He did feel that he was holding Gu Baoxia back.
A girl's youth is always worth something.
But Gu Baoxia herself didn't care!
She was busy learning bookkeeping and accounting every day, clearly looking like she had found her direction in life, and she didn't care to pay attention to Lu Yuanqing's friendly advice.
Lu Yuanqing even felt that the other party was not interested in marriage at all, and was happy to have him as her nominal fiancé!
Lu Mingdong didn't know, "Is it because you don't know how to win a girl's heart that she's been hesitant to agree?"
