The second monthly exam in the second semester of the third year of high school came as scheduled.

This month's exam was much easier than the last time, and Lu reassessed that his score could reach 710 points, so he gave up.

To know Lu Dao, Lu Zhong still did not fill in the answer to the listening in the last foreign language subject. That's 30 points for listening. It took Lu Zhong less than an hour to complete the foreign language test questions, and he left the examination room after completing them and handing in the papers.

Out of the examination room, Lu Zhong suddenly thought that tomorrow was Thursday, and he was going to attend someone's eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, and it would be inappropriate not to give gifts.

However, everyone is a student, and if you give gold, silver and jewelry, it is not only very tacky, but Lu Chong does not have that capital now. Sending other things will seem too casual.

After thinking about it, Lu Chong prepared to write a pair of calligraphy and painting works by himself and give them to Leng Mei.

Growing up beside his grandfather since he was a child, Lu Zhong was deeply influenced by the old man, and his level of calligraphy and painting was not bad. Moreover, his current soul energy is amazingly huge, even if it is not as good as some ancient masters, it should be more than enough to deal with some modern "bricks and beasts".

With this idea, Lu Chong saw that it was still early, so he went out of the school gate directly, stopped a taxi, and rushed to [Jigu Zhai].

[Jigu Zhai] is very close to the Youth Palace of Yancheng City, where there are many traditional Chinese things. There are everything like rice paper, inkstone, pen and ink, calligraphy and painting, porcelain, etc. There are even some antiques on the second floor of this shop. Of course, the average customer will not go to the second floor.

The reason why Lu Zhong chose this store is because the prices of the things in this store are fair and the quality is reliable. The second is that he has been here many times with his grandfather, and he is very familiar with this shop.

This [Jigu Zhai] has been open in Yancheng for many years. Lu Chong followed his grandfather here several times when he was a child, and the last time Lu Chong came here was three years ago. At that time, Mr. Lu Haoran seemed to have been invited to practice medicine for the boss here.

Lu Zhong remembered that the boss here was an old man named Zheng Tianle, and he seemed to have a good relationship with his grandfather. And two years ago, when Grandpa Lu Chong died, Zheng Tianle seemed to have also gone to pay tribute to the old man. However, Lu Chong was crying a lot at that time, and he didn't have much impression of Zheng Tianle.

Originally, Lu Chong felt that since he came to Zheng Tianle, he should still visit this Uncle Zheng, but Lu Zhong had heard that Zheng Tianle had retired, and he didn't have the energy to take care of this [Jigu Zhai], but handed over Jigu Zhai to his youngest daughter to take care of. I didn't think I would be here now, so Lu Chong also put out the idea of visiting Zheng Tianle.

When I came to this store, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, and after Lu Zhong quickly selected the corresponding pen, ink, paper and inkstone, he came to the counter to prepare for payment. However, there were still three or four customers in front of him, and Lu Zhong had no choice but to line up.

The cashier's speed was still very fast, and after three minutes, it was finally Lu Chong's turn.

Putting the things on the cash register, Lu Zhong looked at the little thing in his hand, and found that the price of this thing was close to two hundred yuan, which made him suddenly feel a little painful: "Dizzy, money in this world is not omnipotent, but no money is absolutely impossible." It seems that in order to cultivate better and enjoy life better in the future, I have to make money. ”

muttered slightly, and after paying the bill of 178 yuan, Lu Zhong carried the plastic bag and prepared to leave.

At this moment, a gentle old man walked from the second floor, and when he saw Lu Zhong appear, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Huh, little ...... Xiaozhong, you bad boy came to Uncle Zheng, and you didn't even come to visit Uncle Zheng?"

It was Zheng Tianle who came, because tomorrow it was the eighteenth birthday of one of his favorite juniors, so he had been waiting in the store for the arrival of a piece of goods he had ordered in the past few days, and by the way, he also took care of his grandson for his little daughter, but he didn't want to see Lu Zhong appear with a plastic bag, so he was suddenly surprised and hurried over. ...,

Zheng Tianle is sixty-eight years old today, but he calls Lu Chong's grandfather Lu Haoran Shibo. In this way, it is normal for Lu Zhong to call him uncle.

"Well, it turned out to be Uncle Zheng. Lu Zhong glanced at the old man downstairs embarrassedly, smiled, and said, "I originally wanted to visit Uncle Zheng, but I heard that you had retired last time, and I didn't expect you to be in Jigu Zhai today." What a coincidence. Hehe......"

"Bastard boy, I didn't expect you to not see you for two years, not only have you grown taller, but you have also become flamboyant. Zheng Tianle blew his beard and glared, and reached out angrily and tapped lightly on Lu Chong's head, and said, "Since you are here, let's go to my uncle's house today to recognize the door." Don't say no, boy. ”

"Uncle Zheng, forget it today. Because tomorrow I'm going to attend a classmate's eighteenth coming-of-age ceremony, no, I'm just rushing to you. We've got to start tonight. Lu Zhong smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Otherwise, you give me an address, and I will see you in a while......"

Hearing Lu Chong's refusal, Zheng Tianle suddenly turned black, but when he heard Lu Chong say that he was going to attend a classmate's eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow, his face was happy, and he unconsciously pulled his beard. A strange smile flashed in his eyes.

"You're not fooling you Uncle Zheng, are you?" Zheng Tianle's face turned pale, but Lu Zhong didn't see the smile hidden in Zheng Tianle's eyes.

Lu Chong hurriedly said: "Uncle Zheng, I'm a junior in high school. It's a lot of work to study right now. If I didn't want to give a gift, why did I come to you to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?"

"Well, since that's the case, then Uncle Zheng will let you go this time. Hehe, but you remember to come and visit Uncle Zheng in a week. Zheng Tianle's face seemed to calm down, and then he looked at Lu Chong playfully, and suddenly asked, "Xiaozhong, that classmate of yours is a woman?"

"It's a woman!" Lu nodded heavily, there was nothing to hide about this.

"Tsk, female classmate, your female classmate is very beautiful, right? Tell Uncle Zheng, do you like that female classmate?" Zheng Tianle suddenly approached Lu Chong's side, his eyebrows fluttered, and he asked with a wink.

"I don't like it!"

Regarding Zheng Tianle's closeness behavior, Lu Chong suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. However, he really didn't like Leng Mei now, and shook his head very resolutely at the moment.

"Cut, little guy, who are you fooling?" Zheng Tianle glared at Lu Chong with disbelief on his face, "Looking at your ass preparing gifts for that girl, you can see that you don't just like people." And I like people very much. Hmph, you want to hide it from my old man?"

In fact, Zheng Tianle was even more annoyed in his heart, and secretly complained: "Who is this bastard kid deceiving, how can there be students in the No. 1 Middle School in the city who can resist the beauty of my eyebrows?"

The eyebrows that Zheng Tianle said in his heart are cold eyebrows. is also the granddaughter of Zheng Tianle. He had long known that Lu Dao Lu Zhong and Leng Mei were classmates. Today, I heard Lu Chong say that he was going to attend a classmate's eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, and he immediately understood who the classmate in Lu Chong's mouth was. After all, his granddaughter is going to have her eighteenth birthday ceremony tomorrow. If someone else celebrates their eighteenth birthday, they may not have a coming-of-age ceremony.

"What I said is true and I am not deceiving you. Lu Zhong didn't know what Zheng Tianle was thinking, so he just said lightly. The cold eyebrows are indeed very beautiful, but Lu Chong is not so fascinated by the cold eyebrows.

Zheng Tianle stroked his snow-white beard, and suddenly became a little puzzled. He finally realized that Lu Chong's expression didn't seem to be lying. Suddenly, Zheng Tianle was a little unhappy again, in his heart, Leng Mei was a first-class excellent, and he had to have a good look, and he had a family background. Lu Chong didn't like such a girl, which made Zheng Tianle very depressed.

"Weiwei, what's wrong with you, don't scare your mother......" At this moment, a woman's exclamation interrupted the conversation between Lu Zhong and Zheng Tianle.

Lu Chongxun went to find his reputation, but saw that on the stairs on the second floor, a very beautiful young woman was hugging a five or six-year-old boy. The little boy was bruised and whining, and looked very uncomfortable.

At this moment, Zheng Tianle's face changed greatly, but he ran madly towards the mother and son on the stairs.

Lu Chong didn't expect that he would encounter this when he bought some pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, so he hurriedly followed.
