Chapter 192 The house is a mess
Everything proceeded in an orderly and methodical manner.
Everyone in Shihua Village is extremely busy.
Despite being so busy, Lu Yuanqing found himself with a more relaxed time.
The issues of factory construction and orders were handled by Zhao Zhongcai and Zhao Lide, respectively.
He would work during his spare time and then organize the important points from the meetings.
As for other accounting issues, he has now lost all of them, except for a few.
Among the village officials, he was unusually quiet.
Then he realized something was wrong.
"No, Xiao Nan, why are you still at home? Didn't you go to school?" Lu Yuanqing looked at Lu Mingnan and suddenly sat up from the recliner, staring at him with wide eyes!
Lu Mingnan looked like a chick whose neck had been grabbed.
"Third Uncle, well, you're the one who gave me leave!"
Lu Yuanqing: "..."
……
As the sun sets in the west, the villagers, who have been busy all day, begin to leave work, school, or other activities, and the village suddenly becomes lively!
Lu Mingdong returned home earlier than usual, which was unusual for him.
On the way, he happened to run into Zhao Zhongcai, who was bringing back a batch of bricks with his men, and he got a free ride in an oxcart.
When I got home, as soon as I stepped inside, I saw Lu Mingnan facing the wall.
Seeing this, Lu Mingdong raised an eyebrow. Had they finally been discovered?
Lu Yuanbo and Lu Yuanqing, who were busy in the kitchen, came out carrying a bowl of food in each hand.
Lu Yuanqing: "You're back. Put down your bag and you can eat now!"
Lu Yuanbo laughed heartily, "Xiao Dong, you haven't been to school for a while now. Your third uncle caught you today, and you've been standing there for two hours!"
This shows how angry Lu Yuanqing was.
When they made mistakes, Lu Yuanqing didn't like to hit them; he preferred to punish them by making them stand facing the wall.
But he also felt sorry for them, and each time it would be over in less than an hour.
But today, Lu Mingnan has been standing for two hours, and Lu Yuanqing has not given in when he tried to act cute.
Lu Mingdong put his schoolbag back in his room, not particularly surprised.
After all, he had already discovered it, he just hadn't said anything.
He didn't say it at first, and he definitely can't say it now, or his third uncle will punish him!
Lu Yuanqing shoved Lu Yuanbo, who was laughing incessantly, "What are you laughing at? Go and call those wild kids out here back to me. They're always running around outside, and they don't even know to come home when it gets dark. They've really let their hearts run wild!"
Lu Yuanbo pursed his lips, not daring to say a word, and turned to go out to call people home.
His third brother is still angry!
There are quite a few people in the village who do the same thing as him.
As soon as you step outside, you can hear people calling their children everywhere.
Lu Yuanbo steadied himself skillfully, tilted his head slightly, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Xiao Bao!!! Xiao Bei!!! Xiao Zhong!!!"
On one side, people were calling out for children who wouldn't come home, while on the other side, Lu Yuanqing kept saying that the children had gone too far playing.
He's been busy with village affairs.
It was only after Lu Mingnan's incident today that he realized he hadn't paid attention to family matters for a long time.
First, Lu Mingnan cleverly skipped school and went to the warehouse every day at a time that was different from Lu Yuanqing's.
People saw that Lu Mingnan wasn't studying and instead came to continue learning weaving every day. They had heard a little about his achievements and assumed that Lu Yuanqing thought he wasn't cut out for studying, so he sent him to learn a trade.
One by one, they found nothing amiss.
If Lu Yuanqing hadn't finished work early today and come home early, and happened to run into the guy who should have been at school but was actually at home, he would have been kept in the dark until school was on holiday.
After all, Lu Yuanqing personally requested the leave from the school. They didn't have any expectations for being last in the class, so if they didn't come, they didn't come. Anyway, they were all used to studying for a few years and then going home, so they didn't have any doubts at all.
Then there are three kids in the family, one of whom is a wild little brat.
Aside from eating and sleeping, he never leaves the house.
They've completely forgotten about learning to recognize characters, which they should have learned.
Lu Yuanqing didn't have time to worry about it. After finishing his work and returning home, he turned around and discovered this situation.
Lu Yuanqing was so angry he laughed!
When Lu Yuanbo called the chattering kids back, they naturally saw Lu Mingnan being punished.
"Brother made a mistake, he's standing facing the wall!"
"What mistake did my brother make!"
"It must have been Uncle San who punished him; he must have committed a very, very serious mistake!"
After Lu Yuanbo called the person back, he ignored him.
Lu Yuanqing pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but in the end he held back and said instead, "What are you all standing there for! Do you want to stand in the corner with your brother? Go get some water, wash your hands and faces, and come eat. You're all dressed like cats, and it's dark before you go home... you..."
Lu Yuanbo and Lu Mingdong, who were already sitting and waiting for the meal to begin, exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of confusion in each other's eyes.
His third brother/uncle is surprisingly talkative!
It wasn't this... uh, so wordy before!
That's what I thought, but I didn't dare to ask.
Whether they're long-winded or as straightforward as before, or even pay little attention, although they don't know why Lu Yuanqing suddenly sees through the details so clearly, Lu Mingdong and Lu Yuanbo have no intention of getting involved in this mess.
The three little ones were completely oblivious to the strange atmosphere, chatting and laughing as they went to the kitchen to fetch water to wash their hands and faces.
After washing up, they happily returned to the main room, sat on a stool, and waited for dinner to be served.
"Eat up!" Lu Yuanqing was the first to pick up his chopsticks!
"Third Uncle, isn't Brother going to eat?" Cheng Xiaobao pointed at Lu Mingnan, who was still being punished by standing.
Lu Yuanbo, who was about to pick up some food, immediately gave a thumbs up upon hearing this.
A true warrior dares to speak his mind; ignorance is bliss!
Lu Yuanqing didn't even lift his eyelids, and said, "He's not hungry!"
As soon as Lu Yuanqing finished speaking, they heard a stomach growl from inside the room.
The group instinctively looked in Lu Mingnan's direction and saw him clutching his stomach, still standing there!
Rebut it yourself!
"Third Uncle... um..."
Just as Cheng Xiaobao was about to say something, Lu Yuanbo stuffed a piece of food into his mouth, silencing him.
"Eat your food properly, or you'll be all talkative!" Lu Yuanbo was utterly speechless!
This child is a true warrior!
Lu Yuanqing ignored them and quietly ate his meal.
After finishing his meal, he put down his chopsticks and said, "After we finish eating, we'll have a family meeting tonight, so hurry up!"
After saying that, he didn't care about their reaction, so he moved his recliner outside, sat down, and started rocking back and forth as usual.
It was already dark, and although there was still a little bit of light, the moon was already rushing out.
He looked up at the night sky, feeling the occasional breeze, and experienced a moment of peace.
Only for a moment.
Because soon after, the others brought out their small stools and sat down.
"Lu Mingnan, you don't need to stand anymore. Come out with your bowl and listen together!"
