Chapter 18 Go back and report the good news
Hu Quan looked at Lu Chen, who had a serious expression, and said, "It's good that you can come back alive, everything else is secondary." ”
Indeed, although this mock test is an important way to express yourself to the school and future examiners, it is useless if you lose your life.
Bidding farewell to Hu Hai, Lu Chen took the lead in telling his grandfather and sister about his good results and breakthroughs.
So after finishing the mock test, he went directly to his uncle's house.
Slum, Lujiayuan Gate.
"Knock knock......" Lu Chen knocked lightly a few times, and in a moment an emaciated man poked his head out of it.
This person is tall and thin, with black bags under his eyes, two mustaches at the corners of his mouth, and he is already a little hunched back when he reaches middle age.
"Uncle?" Lu Chen was stunned, this person was his uncle Lu Zhengqing, and it was very difficult to see him on weekdays.
Because Lu Zhengqing inherited his father's business, he worked as a blacksmith in the county town, responsible for casting and repairing the thick fences around the county.
Although it is not a technical job, the manpower and material resources required are very large! It's not just one person or two people who can do it.
All the blacksmiths in Baokang County are doing this almost all the time, because it is linked to the survival of the entire county!
If something happens to the fence on the night of the bloodshed, no one will survive.
The role of the above talismans is the dual function of concealment and exorcism, so that the county is free from the harassment and harm of monsters such as walking corpses.
"Oh, Lu and Lu Chen are here?" Lu Zhengqing looked at Lu Chen in amazement, he wanted to relieve himself in the yard just now, but he didn't expect someone to knock on the door, let alone meet this runaway kid.
The two looked at each other in amazement, not knowing what to say, and the scene was a little awkward.
Lu Chen rarely communicates with his uncle on weekdays, he spends a long time outside, a short time at home, and he is also a promise, especially now that the relationship between Lu Chen and Hu Fengjiao is completely stiff, so the two of them can't say anything when they meet.
At this time, it was Lu Chen who took the lead in breaking the deadlock, he coughed twice, and said softly: "Uncle, I'm coming to see grandpa......"
After all, it was the aunt who tore his face with him, not the uncle, and Lu Chen still remained polite.
"Oh, oh, okay" Lu Zhengqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded and made a way.
Lu Chen walked in and went straight to his grandfather's room.
The old man was alone with a needle sewing a ragged gown, and he had worn this long gown for ten years, and he had not been willing to change it.
"Grandpa......" Lu Chen's voice made the old man stunned! Looking up, Lu Fangheng suddenly had a look of surprise on his face after seeing that it was his grandson.
"Hey, hey! Good! Just come back. The old man had an excited look on his face, and he put down his needlework and stood up.
Lu Chen walked in quickly! He snatched Lu Fangheng's needlework, usually he helped his grandfather do it, but now that he lives alone, this kind of thing is ignored.
In just a few minutes, the sewing work was done, Lu Chen's craftsmanship was really good, and the clothes were quite strong.
"Grandpa, go out with me today, I'll take you to a good meal! By the way, I'll buy you a new gown! Lu Chen said with a smile, he actually wanted his grandfather to lose this clothes, but he knew his grandfather too well, and he would definitely not be willing to give it up.
"I got a good score in the wilderness survival mock test this time, and I caught several high-energy wild freshwater fish and sold them for hundreds of yuan!" Looking at his grandfather's bewildered expression, Lu Chen's voice said excitedly, a few hundred yuan was indeed the first time he earned a lot of money.
"And I have reached the cultivation of the third level of Daoist disciples, and my strength is no longer what it used to be!"
Lu Fangheng immediately nodded and laughed in surprise when he heard this, he knew that his grandson was angry, even if no one in this world believed that Lu Chen could become a talent, he would believe it.
The two of them have lived in the same room for many years, no matter how hard Lu Chen works, he can see it clearly, it is definitely a desperate San Lang!
"Good! Good! Lu Fangheng nodded happily in response, even happier than the New Year.
"Let's go! Today I'm taking you out for dinner! Lu Chen happily pulled him out, pushed open the door and walked out, but Lu Fangheng didn't do it, and waved his hand again and again: "You don't have much money in your hand, what are you going to do with that matter?" ”
He has been diligent and thrifty in his life, and he must be reluctant to go out to eat, especially when he spends his grandson's money.
In this regard, the old man's attitude is quite resolute, and Lu Fangheng will resolutely not spend the money that can be spent!
"Dad-" At this moment, a shout suddenly sounded outside! I saw a petite figure jumping into the yard, it was my sister Lu Menghan! Her speed was so fast that she came into contact with Lu Chen.
The two were stunned on the spot, and the girl's expression became excited.
"Brother-" Lu Menghan, who reacted, pounced fiercely! Plunged headlong into his arms.
Lu Chen came back to his senses, for some reason, tears came out of his eyes at this time, he reached out and stroked his sister's head, his heart was sour.
There are many disputes between poor families, and relatives will be separated because of this, which is really painful.
After a long time, he exhaled softly and said softly: "I'm here to see grandpa, my results in this mock test are good, and I have broken through to the third layer of Taoism, no!" Brought you a gift. ”
"Really—?" Lu Menghan responded excitedly, looked at Lu Zhengqing, and said hesitantly: "Forget about the gift, you don't have much money in your hand......"
Lu Chen naturally understood that this girl was afraid that his mother would find out and scold her.
There was a little fear in the tone of this girl's voice, which can be seen that Hu Fengjiao's influence in this family is deep, and the image of the tigress is full of shock.
Although Lu Menghan's strength is strong, he is actually immature in mind and is very afraid of the anger of adults.
"It's okay! Your brother gives you a gift, and it's useless for anyone to say anything! As he spoke, Lu Chen took out a freshwater fish from the fish box behind him.
"Besides, this thing is good for you!"
The dace has a dazzling light on its silver scales, and a strong breath of life fills the fish's body, even if it leaves the water, it is still jumping and fluttering.
"Wild freshwater fish!?" Lu Menghan's eyes flashed, and his face showed excitement.
Although Hu Fengjiao fully supports her daughter, she can only provide her with canned high-energy bean drum fish, a real wild freshwater fish, which Lu Menghan has never eaten.
"Hanhan is back—?" At this time, Lu Zhengqing also walked out of the main room, just now he heard his daughter calling himself, and now he saw Lu Menghan in the middle of the courtyard, and hurriedly shouted.
Lu Menghan immediately pounced! The more her father is not at home often, the more this girl misses her.
On weekdays, Lu Zhengqing is very busy, how can he have time to spend with his daughter?
"Grandpa, uncle, Hanhan, I'll go first" Lu Chen said softly after handing the fish to his grandfather, he has left home, and it is not good to look here.
