Chapter 442
Lu Zheng was woken up by a call from his mother at noon the next day.
"Xiao Zheng, I received everything!"
There was a lot of joy over there, and a lot of people were congratulating him, saying things like "You're really promising", "A filial son", "Xiaozheng has been capable since he was young", etc.
Lu Zheng hadn't realized the time yet and was not very clear-headed at the moment. He raised his head and asked, "What's here?"
Such a big scene is rare in this village. People line up to deliver things, and a luxury business car leads the way. Half of the villagers come to watch the fun.
"Let me take a look. They said the first things to arrive are the refrigerator, massage chair, and TV. I don't know what these are... Oh, and the rest are said to be airlifted or something, and they won't arrive until this afternoon."
Lu Zheng's mother said, "Actually, you don't need to buy these. Your father and I are doing well. We know it's your thoughtfulness. We both hope that you can have some time to rest. It would be satisfying if you come back to visit us."
There was some noise on the phone again. It should be that Lu Zheng's father answered the phone. Many people in the village who were curious about the new things were looking at the door. Lu Zheng's father had been following the reception and transportation and was busy for a long time. When he saw that the phone was connected, he smiled and responded to a few words at the door and went into the house.
"Xiao Zheng, you don't have to spend the bonus like this. You could save it and decorate your own room. It's enough for your mom and me. I was watering the fields when your boss called me this morning."
As Mr. Lu spoke, he touched the medical equipment that looked very valuable. He didn't understand how it worked and planned to study it in detail after he was better.
"The leaders reward you because they value you. You must work hard and make a great career!"
Lu Zheng's mother answered the phone and said, "Yes, son, don't let your leaders down. Work hard and contribute more to society!"
Lu Zheng's father took over and said, "You must rest well after work. No matter what, your health is the capital of revolution."
Lu Zheng's mother grabbed her husband's hand, picked up the phone, and continued to instruct: "How are the sweet potatoes I asked Dafei to send you last time? Do you want them back?"
Lu Zheng hurriedly hummed a few times, "There's more, it's delicious. I have a holiday next month, so I'll go back to see you and my dad. I'll get it when I get back."
Everyone was busy and the call didn't last long. While Lu Zheng was thinking about it, he saw a series of text messages in the prompt box.
Yan Congzhi's is at the top, the last one to arrive, and consists of just a few words:
"Thank you for your help, just a token of my appreciation."
Lu Zheng looked down and found a message from the bank. The number on it was shocking. There was also a message from an unfamiliar mobile phone number, claiming to be a lawyer, who asked him to have time to discuss the agreement for accepting the gift of the vehicle and house. There was also a message from the hospital health care unit for a physical examination appointment for his parents.
Lu Zheng was busy asking for Ni Yangzhou's news on the system, but the person on the other end didn't reply. He called Yan Congzhi to refuse, but the call never went through. In the afternoon, Ni Yangzhou finally replied:
[I slept here, didn't see it, wait for me to ask.]
After a few minutes:
[Don't refuse. It's my duty. If you still consider me your elder brother, then don't refuse. It's not only for you, but also for my parents.]
Lu Zheng looked at Liu Zikang who was happily showing him his account balance on the system. He hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to reply:
[Then...thank you, brother.]
The gifts were very practical, and nominally acceptable to his parents, as they could actually change the quality of life at home. Lu Zheng looked at the gifts his parents had given him in his room and did not refuse.
A day later, Lu Zheng's mother sent another message, saying that the village was planning to repair the road. The broken road in front of the house would become a mud pit trap when it rained, so it would be more convenient to travel. She also said that street lights would be installed, so the neighbors would no longer have to fall on their waists when returning home in the rain like his father did before.
……
Liu Zikang has been wanting to go back to work at the institute recently, but ever since she fell ill and was admitted to the hospital, the compulsory leave system has been strictly enforced. Not only can she not get in, even the team leader Peng He, who had been discharged from the hospital for a long time, can only remotely direct the progress of the experiment via video.
There were a lot of good things going on. A new company funded the laboratory, and the projects that had been reported previously were progressing steadily. Liu Zikang was named, and Peng He was so happy that he felt like he was rejuvenated. When he was explaining the work to her, he saw that his hair seemed to have turned a few darker. He just had to wait until they were well again before going back to continue their scientific research.
She had nothing to do, so she went out and wandered around.
People were coming and going in the mall. She was idly eating an ice cream cone and waiting for a movie. She happened to see Lu Zheng picking out clothes in a clothing store. She went over to say hello, only to find that there was someone standing next to Lu Zheng.
He is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, with sparse eyebrows, a very young face, and seems not to be very talkative.
Liu Zikang patted Lu Zheng on the shoulder. He turned around and smiled. I don’t know if it was Liu Zikang’s illusion, but Lu Zheng seemed to be a lot more cheerful today.
"...Meng Ling, it's you."
The boy standing next to him took a half step back, still holding the clothes that Lu Zhengcai handed over to him. He was a little hesitant about whether to go to the fitting room first, or follow Lu Zheng here to listen to his friends talk.
Liu Zikang's eyes moved from the two people's faces. He felt that although they were not exactly similar, they were about 40% similar. Lu Zheng used to be introverted and silent, but today, with this boy, he actually looked like a mature parent and could even take the initiative to greet her.
"Yes, Mr. Lu, this is..."
Liu Zikang was used to calling him Engineer Lu and didn't change his tone. It sounded playful and he glanced at the boy, who looked at Lu Zheng.
"This is my...brother."
Lu Zheng smiled and said to the people around him:
"My colleague, just call me sister."
The boy nodded shyly, "Hello, sister."
"Hey, hello."
Guo Mengling and Lu Zheng looked at each other and understood the boy's identity.
"Xiao Ning, go ahead and try these first."
Lu Zheng sent someone to try on new clothes, and Liu Zikang sat on a bench nearby with him. To others, they looked like two idly sitting around, but they were actually chatting away on the system.
[Has the name been decided? Lu Ning?]
Lu Zheng replied quickly:
[Yes, he named it himself.]
[Have you finalized your identity? What do your family members say?]
There's nothing wrong with my parents.
Lu Zheng and Lu Ning agreed to make up a story about sponsoring a student who had lost his parents. He felt sorry for the student and became his sworn brother. He was now slowly trying to persuade his parents about this situation. He would take the student back home during the holiday next month and try to make the situation work and have him become his godfather and godmother.
[This is a good idea, are you sure?]
[My parents are soft-hearted, so I think it should be okay.]
Liu Zikang finished the last two bites of the ice cream cone and wiped the crumbs off his hands.
[What about identity? What are your plans for the future? Judging from your age, you're probably around 17 or 8 when you set it up. Will you continue studying?]
[17. He wants to continue studying. I think so too. Now that we have no problem with the funds, we just don’t know how to get an identity card…]
Liu Zikang pointed his finger:
[Isn’t this easy? Go find Big Brother!]
[Big brother, do you know anyone?]
[Maybe, I don’t know, but my brother-in-law will definitely have a way.]
Liu Zikang turned his head and said as a person who had experienced this:
[Listen to me, if you can get my sister-in-law to do something for my brother, he'll be more than happy to do it.]
Looking back on the past, Liu Zikang is like a senior CP leader, developing members for his own team.
[By the way, are you interested in hearing a story about a secret crush that comes true, an unforgettable, passionate love story?]
