Chapter 44 Lu Mingdong
Chapter 44 Lu Mingdong
Lu Yuanqing was not surprised to hear Lu Mingdong's words.
This little iceberg is probably the smartest one in the family.
After asking his question, Lu Mingdong acted as if he hadn't gotten any earth-shattering news and calmly continued eating his meal.
After the two younger children finished eating, Lu Yuanqing gently patted them, letting them go play by themselves. Only then did he return to the table and, while eating, ask the boy across from him, "When did you find out?"
You should know that his family is currently at peace, while Zhao Zhongcai's family has been secretly splashed with excrement for several days, which shows how tight-lipped Lu Yuanqing and Zhao Zhongcai are.
Zhao Zhongcai never revealed to his family that it was his suggestion, and Lu Yuanqing would certainly not bring it up at home.
A secret is called a secret because no one knows it.
If the two of them don't reveal anything, they don't have to worry about being found out by others.
Lu Mingdong put down his chopsticks, faced Lu Yuanqing with a composed expression, and said, "I didn't mean to see your notebook!"
Lu Yuanqing wouldn't hide anything at home.
Knowing that he was keeping accounts for the village, people were even less likely to casually look through the notebooks he brought home.
Even the two younger children, under Lu Yuanhuan's constant reminders, stayed away from his notebooks and pens.
Lu Mingdong didn't rummage through his things, but Lu Yuanqing saw that his children were so sensible that he didn't hide from them when keeping accounts or writing things down.
Lu Mingdong was just passing by when he glanced at it casually and made a note of it.
"Just because I wrote it in my notebook, you guessed that the suggestion was mine?" Lu Yuanqing looked at the person in front of him with great interest.
He wanted to see just how smart Lu Mingdong really was.
Can a ten-year-old child subconsciously use logic to think about problems?
Lu Mingdong: "And on the day of the meeting, I saw the captain glare at you."
He was standing next to Lu Yuanqing at the time, and was initially puzzled. The people who were cursing the captain were all very close to him, while he was standing not far away. Zhao Zhongcai didn't glare at the people who were cursing him, but seemed to be looking for someone in the crowd before glaring at them.
Lu Mingdong was a thoughtful child, and immediately, puzzled, he began to look for Zhao Zhongcai's gaze.
"Then I saw you smiling at the captain instead!" Lu Mingdong said, his smile being particularly... infuriating!
Lu Mingdong quickly looked at Zhao Zhongcai's expression, and sure enough, he glared even more fiercely.
In addition, Zhao Zhongcai announced the "three-year cycle of labor" proposal, which he happened to have seen in his third uncle's notebook.
That gave him a guess.
"That's why!" Lu Yuanqing sighed.
It wasn't disappointment, but shock; the sigh wasn't because of Lu Mingdong, but because of himself.
Why is such a young child so smart?
Just because of these two unrelated things, they were able to make such an accurate guess.
Lu Yuanqing thought about his own IQ and sighed. Oh well, comparisons are odious.
Lu Mingdong shook his head and said, "The captain is stupid, and my third uncle... uh, my third uncle used to be stupid too." But now my third uncle is very smart.
The unspoken words made Lu Yuanqing look up in surprise, "Xiao Dong thinks Third Uncle is very smart!"
Lu Mingdong thought of how this person loved to tease him, especially by rubbing his head and face against his will, which he could never resist. He immediately turned his head away coldly, "No way!"
Lu Yuanqing's smile did not fade upon hearing this; instead, it became even brighter. "Even if Xiao Dong didn't say it, I would know. He may say 'no', but deep down he probably admires Uncle San a great deal."
"No way!"
"Yes, Uncle understands. Uncle is very smart, and our Xiaodong is very smart too."
His little chest began to heave violently, and his little face turned red.
Lu Yuanqing burst into laughter.
It's not that he's being unreasonable or that I like teasing him; it's just that the little guy's reactions are always so funny when he's teased.
Bullying a child, Lu Yuanqing patted his empty conscience, how amusing!
Lu Mingdong was not one to accept defeat. Looking at the person laughing uncontrollably for making him "lose control," a sly glint flashed in his eyes as he said calmly, "The brigade leader's house has been doused with excrement for days; it must stink terribly! If everyone knew it was Uncle San..."
Lu Yuanqing's laughter stopped abruptly, and he stared at the little brat in disbelief.
"Honey, you're still staying at home!"
The sewage was very smelly, and even after flushing it away with water, the smell would still linger. If this happened every day, Lu Yuanqing looked at the half-eaten meal and immediately lost his appetite.
Lu Mingdong watched his distorted expression as he stared intently at his half-bowl of rice, unable to swallow it, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.
"Fine!" Even if Lu Yuanqing hadn't said anything, he wouldn't have done it.
He's still living at home!
However, having won back a round, Lu Mingdong was in an extremely good mood.
Lu Mingdong was very pleased with himself; he felt that he had caught Lu Yuanqing's biggest fear.
Lu Yuanqing has a vivid imagination, so he subconsciously imagines things in his mind when others describe them.
When Lu Mingdong mentioned the sewage while he was eating, saying it smelled terrible, those two simple sentences made him imagine the scene in his mind, which made his disgust even more pronounced.
In addition, Lu Yuanqing was already somewhat disgusted by such things. People who can see disgusting scenes and continue eating without changing their expression are ruthless.
Lu Mingdong's discovery was also accidental.
Once, just as they were about to eat, Lu Mingzhong cried and said he needed to poop.
Lu Yuanhuan ran over without any disgust and pulled down his pants.
The scene of Lu Mingzhong's pants and buttocks immediately caught Lu Yuanqing's eye. During that meal, Lu Mingdong noticed that his third uncle could hardly swallow, as if the food in his bowl was not potatoes but stones.
Lu Mingdong was still puzzled.
After all, when his mother was still alive, his little sister, who had just been born, also pooped while eating, and the family members were all busy eating and didn't pay any attention.
His mother, in particular, didn't even wash her hands after changing her little sister's diaper before rushing to eat her meal.
Such scenes are actually quite common in the village.
My third uncle wasn't affected at all; he turned his back and continued eating.
Lu Mingdong couldn't figure it out, but he knew that his third uncle seemed to be very different now. He was actually very interested in him and had been secretly observing Lu Yuanqing for a long time!
Having thoroughly humiliated Lu Yuanqing and triumphantly won back the game, Lu Mingdong left Lu Yuanqing alone at home to guard the house before rushing off to watch the commotion.
Aunt Chunhua made a big commotion. As soon as Lu Mingdong stepped out, he heard the noise and ran straight to the noisy place without thinking.
When we arrived, wow, sure enough, it was packed with people; almost half the village had come to watch the spectacle.
Taking advantage of his small size, after hearing Lu Yuanbo's loud voice, he immediately squeezed through the gaps between the adults' buttocks and legs, and quickly made his way to the front row.
When he got to the front, he saw that, just as he had expected, there was no fight, only a war of words!
