Volume 1: The Twin Towers Chapter 23: Birthday Celebration

When Lu Yao beckoned Wang Ping to eat fruit, Lu Yiqian also came back.

"Lu Yao, who is this?" Lu Yiqian saw the door open, knew that Lu Yao had returned, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a face he had never seen standing in the room, and asked vigilantly.

"Godfather, this is my friend Brother Wang, the coach of the Tianxin Martial Arts Gym." After Lu Yao saw Lu Yiqian, he introduced his godfather.

"Uncle, hello, I am Lu Yao's friend, my name is Wang Ping, you can call me Xiao Wang." Wang Ping said to Lu Yiqian very politely.

"Hello, hello, I also know the Tianxin Martial Arts Pavilion, it's very powerful!" After listening to Lu Yao's introduction, Lu Yiqian greeted Wang Ping warmly: "Please sit, please sit!" ”

"Lu Yao, the guests are here, why don't you say hello in advance, you look at our family like this, I don't know what to use to greet the guests!" Lu Yiqian turned around and said to Lu Yao with a slight reproach.

"Godfather, I bought fruit, you and Brother Wang eat some fruit first, and I'll prepare dinner." Lu Yao handed Wang Ping and Lu Yiqian an apple, and then said.

Due to family reasons, Lu Yao learned to cook a long time ago, and his cooking skills are not bad, seeing that Lu Yiqian has been tired for a day, and today is his birthday, so Lu Yao took the initiative to take over the cooking work.

The house was very small, the kitchen and bedroom were separated, and Lu Yao was busy with dinner alone in the room.

……

"Uncle, it's not easy for you to be out and find odds to support this family all the time!" Wang Ping looked at Lu Yiqian's calluses on his hands and said with emotion.

"Hey, there's no way, I don't have any other skills except for brute force, I can't make a lot of money, I can't give him a good living environment, I can only earn money by doing odd jobs, and I can barely get by." When Lu Yiqian talked about this, he felt very guilty.

"Uncle, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that, although I can't represent Lu Yao, but I think he must have never thought like this in his heart, you see how good he is now, he won the third place in the city in this Xinlu Provincial High School Mock Exam, and the whole Shuangta City knows his name, isn't this the best result!" Wang Ping comforted.

Speaking of Lu Yao's excellent results in this exam, Lu Yiqian immediately smiled, this is the second thing that makes him happy after the operation.

"Uncle, have you considered moving?" Wang Ping thought for a long time on the way here and didn't know how to persuade Lu Yao to join the martial arts hall, but when he saw Lu Yiqian, he suddenly had an idea.

"Moving?" Lu Yiqian was stunned for a moment and then said gloomily: "It's not that I haven't thought about moving, over the years, our grandfather has been constantly moving, and the farther away from Lu Yao's school, the worse the conditions for moving, although Lu Yao didn't say it, but I still think that he can't afford him, some time ago, he was funded by nobles, his operation was finally done smoothly, and he also had a little savings in his hands, but Lu Yao is about to take the university entrance examination, and it shouldn't be a problem to get into a better university with his grades, It takes a lot of money to get to university, so I can only think about moving. ”

"Moving, who's going to move?" Just when the two were chatting about the topic of moving, Lu Yao came over with a few plates of dishes that had been prepared, and when he heard the word moving, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Oh, that's it, I just remembered that our martial arts hall had been saying that we would sponsor a senior high school student with excellent character and academics, but we had never decided on a candidate, and I suddenly remembered when I saw my uncle just now." Wang Ping patted his head and pretended to suddenly realize: "That's why I want to ask my uncle if he has any intention of moving." ”

"What does funding have to do with moving?" Lu Yao asked strangely.

"Well, we have some other requirements for funders." Wang Ping explained.

"What requirements?"

"What requirements?"

Hearing that Wang Ping said that the Tianxin Martial Arts Pavilion came forward to fund it, but there were some requirements, Lu Yao and Lu Yiqian couldn't help but ask in unison.

"We require that the recipient of the grant must meet three conditions." Wang Ping said: "The first family is indeed in difficulty, the second is excellent in character and learning, and it is best to be a senior high school student who has achieved the top ten in the city in the recognized unified examination, and the third is a single-parent family, these three conditions are indispensable." ”

Lu Yao listened to the three conditions that Wang Ping said, it was like tailor-made for himself, and he knew that this was definitely not as simple as being set before the martial arts hall and no one was chosen, I am afraid that it was an olive branch thrown by Wang Ping temporarily.

However, he looked at his Lu Yiqian with anticipation, and he didn't want to sweep away his godfather's interest on his birthday, so he didn't say anything. I just wanted to change the topic and said, "Brother Wang, the food is ready, let's eat!" ”

"Mr. Wang, do you have any other requirements for the martial arts hall?" Lu Yiqian asked expectantly.

After Wang Ping said about the funding, he had been carefully observing the reactions of the two, Lu Yao was relatively calm, and he had guessed some of his true thoughts, but seeing that Lu Yiqian was looking forward to it, Wang Ping felt that this matter might be able to find a breakthrough in Lu Yiqian's body, and immediately said: "Yes, our martial arts hall has some requirements, we need the immediate family members of the funders to come to our martial arts hall to do some work to clean up the clutter, of course, it is not in vain, We will also give out more than 2,000 yuan a month as a subsidy! ”

After Lu Yao listened, he didn't speak, and Lu Yiqian was also thoughtful.

"Two thousand yuan a month is a bit small, but we can eat and live!" Wang Pingyou hurriedly said again.

"Do you want to eat and live?" Lu Yiqian hurriedly asked.

"Yes, we have a two-bedroom house in Chaoyang Community, not far from the martial arts hall, which has been empty, so we decided to provide the grantee's family with daily living, which will make use of the limited resources and make it convenient for the relatives of the funded to work in the martial arts hall!" Wang Ping said.

"Chaoyang Community?" Lu Yiqian said even more happily: "Lu Yao, I know that community, it is very close to your school. ”

"yes, that's why I asked my uncle if he had any plans to move!" Wang Ping explained.

"But, Brother Wang, although my godfather has done a lot of temporary work over the years, he has never had any experience in unrelated work, so I'm afraid we are ......" Lu Yao has never wanted to owe too much to people, not to mention that recently he needs to refine some spiritual liquid to quench his body, and it is not necessarily convenient to live there, so he still wants to refuse.

Lu Yiqian also calmed down a little, hearing Lu Yao say this, he could also see that Lu Yao had concerns, although the conditions offered by the other party were indeed very tempting, but he still chose to respect his son's thoughts, so he didn't say anything more.

"Don't worry, you can think about this matter slowly, I can wait a little longer, and at the same time, I can also hand over your information to the boss and let him decide." Wang Ping also knew that he was too eager to achieve it just now, and the effect was obviously not ideal, so after seeing the expressions of Lu Yao's father and son at this time, Yuanchang said: "I personally think this is a very good opportunity, so I hope you can think about it again!" ”

"Got it, Brother Wang, let's eat, the food is going to be cold!" Lu Yao said.

"That's it, that's it, you see that the patronage has spoken, and the guests have been neglected, Mr. Wang, let's eat!" Lu Yiqian also hurriedly got up and greeted Wang Pingdao.

Wang Ping didn't continue, and several people came to the table to prepare for dinner.

The so-called dining table is just a small homemade table that Lu Yao usually uses to study.

Wang Ping looked at the four or five home-cooked dishes made by Lu Yao in front of him, which were full of color, flavor, and flavor, and he was indeed a little hungry for a while.

"Uncle, I can eat such a sumptuous meal today, all because of your light, it seems that I will come more often in the future!" Wang Ping said politely.

"As long as Mr. Wang doesn't dislike our coarse tea and light rice, he can come to me and Lu Yao often in the future!" Lu Yiqian was in a very good mood because of what Wang Ping said before, and when he heard the other party say that he wanted to come often, he was in a better mood.

The father and son don't have any relatives in this Shuangta City, let alone friends like Wang Ping, they don't care, but Lu Yao wants to gain a foothold in this society in the future, so it's always a good choice to add a few more friends.

The three of them were in a warm atmosphere, and the meal was quickly finished.

"Next, isn't it time for Lu Yao to carry out the theme!" Wang Ping said mysteriously to Lu Yao.

"Theme?" Lu Yiqian didn't understand a little, what these two people were talking about, was there anything else important that hadn't been said yet, Lu Yiqian thought strangely in his heart.

Lu Yao didn't speak, turned around and walked into the back room.

After a while, Lu Yao slowly walked out of the back room with a double-layer cake with a full five candles, came to Lu Yiqian, squatted on the ground, and said with tears in his eyes: "Godfather, thank you for raising me with so many years of hard work, for me, you have been working hard, and I don't have the right opportunity to repay you, this time, the school has given out some bonuses, so on this day of your birthday, I want to give you a meaningful birthday......"

In fact, after Lu Yiqian entered the house, he had been busy chatting with Wang Ping, so he had never been to the back room, and when he saw Lu Yao walking towards him with a cake and saying these words to himself, he was already in tears.

As a bystander, Wang Ping was also moved at this time and didn't know what to say.

"Lu Yao, my good son, you have suffered with your godfather all these years......" Lu Yiqian said at this time, he could no longer suppress his emotions, and hugged Lu Yao in his arms.

……

"Uncle, you see that Lu Yao has grown up so well now, you should also feel gratified, don't you, let's clean up our mood and prepare to blow out the candles!" Wang Ping was deeply touched by the emotions of Lu Yao's father and son, looked at the appearance of the two at this time, and comforted him.

"Yes, yes, yes! Blow out the candles, blow out the candles! After listening to Wang Ping's words, Lu Yiqian quickly wiped his tears and beckoned the two to sit down.

……

……

Although this birthday does not have any delicacies from the mountains and seas, wine and food, it is the most meaningful birthday party that Wang Ping has ever attended.

At the time of parting, Wang Ping handed the two gift boxes he brought to Lu Yiqian.

"Uncle, I also found out in the afternoon that today is your birthday, the time is in a hurry, and I didn't come to prepare, a little gift, not a tribute, please accept it!"

"How can this work, I am very happy that Mr. Wang can come to us, and I will resolutely not accept this gift." Lu Yiqian hurriedly excused himself.

"Uncle, you are seeing the outside, from now on, you will treat me as your juniors like Lu Yao, don't say a word about Mr. Wang, a mouthful of Mr. Wang, okay?" Wang Ping said as he gave Lu Yao a look.

"Godfather, you can take it, this is also Brother Wang's heart!"

"This ...... Okay, Mr. Wang, oh, Xiao Wang, you must come often when you have the opportunity in the future! Lu Yiqian saw that Lu Yao also persuaded himself, and finally had to accept the gift brought by Wang Ping. He turned around and told Lu Yao: "Lu Yao, you young people have a lot of common words, you can send Xiao Wang for me." ”

"Well, godfather, got it!"
