Chapter 100 Going Home
Neither Lu Guobin nor Lu Yuanhuan knew that the uncle they were thinking of was gone.
However, after Lu Yuanbo said it might be Lu San, none of them doubted whether it was true or not. Instead, they were all very excited to guess what Lu San, whom they had never met, looked like and to look forward to his return home.
They thought Lu Yuanqing might bring his uncle back in a few days.
But to their utter surprise, the next day they saw Lu Yuanqing returning to the village with a little brat.
Lu Yuanbo and the others were still working on the ground when they heard someone say that Lu Yuanqing had returned with his men, so they all ran home.
"Lu Yuanqing is back? He's with a child."
"That child looks just like Lu Yuanbo! Is he Lu Yuanbo's son?"
"Don't talk nonsense. How old is Lu Yuanbo? He doesn't have a son!"
"Whose son is that? Judging from his appearance, he must be from the Lu family."
Lu Guobin didn't see Lu Yuanqing return immediately, but he heard the villagers' discussions.
He immediately realized it was Lu San and his group.
Immediately, Lu Guobin also decided to ask for leave, found Zhang Panlan, and led his people to the Lu family home.
Lu Yuanqing took Cheng Xiaobao home.
Lu Yuanbo and the others were at work, leaving only Lu Mingnan and the two children at home.
"Third Uncle, you're back!"
"Third Uncle, did you bring me anything good to eat?"
"Third Uncle!!!"
When Lu Yuanqing saw the three boys who rushed over to him from afar, his tired body, which had been traveling, was now much more energetic.
"Xiao Nan, this is your younger brother. Take him inside."
"Xiao Bei, bring some good food. Don't pull it, your third uncle will get it for you when we get back inside!"
"Xiao Zhong, don't cling to your third uncle's lap, let's go inside first, okay?"
When Lu Yuanbo and the others rushed back, they saw Lu Yuanqing rummaging through the package, surrounded by children.
Uh, only four.
Wait, there are four!
"Third Brother!"
"Third Uncle!!"
Lu Yuanqing looked up at them with a smile, "Come over and share the food!"
Qin Yang is too generous.
He and Cheng Xiaobao ate the whole way but didn't finish their food.
The ones that don't keep well were eaten first, but as for the ones that can be stored, they just happened to arrive home and don't need to be stored anymore!
"Is the piglet alright?"
"Don't worry about me, brother! They're all staying safely in the pigsty!"
"Third Brother, the piglets are great. Everyone says the piglets you raised are very strong and will definitely grow into big fat pigs."
Lu Yuanqing smiled and handed Lu Yuanhuan a peach shortbread.
"Third Uncle, who is he? Is he Fourth Uncle's son?"
Lu Mingnan's shocking words immediately interrupted the chattering group.
Lu Mingdong first noticed the little guy hiding behind Lu Yuanqing. He seemed a bit timid, and when he saw them return, he cautiously peeked out to look at them!
"This is……"
Lu Yuanqing plopped down on the stool, pulled the little brat hiding behind him out, and hugged him in his arms, explaining with a smile, "This is your little brother! Oh! No, he seems to be a few months older than Xiao Bei and the others. Xiao Bei and Xiao Zhong, you have to call him big brother!"
The little brat was shy and wouldn't come out of his arms, so Lu Yuanqing indulged him and held him in his arms without putting him down.
"Weren't you going to find your uncle? How did you turn into such a brat!" Lu Yuanbo pulled the talking Lu Mingnan into his arms and gave him a good rub before asking the question that everyone was concerned about.
That brat! He actually claims to be his son. He's not even old enough to be looking for a partner yet!
Just as Lu Yuanqing was about to answer, Lu Guobin's urgent voice rang out: "Yuanqing, you're back! Where's your uncle?!"
Okay, everyone's here, let's talk about it all at once.
"Little sister, Xiao Bao and I rushed back by train and haven't had lunch yet! You and Xiao Xi go to the kitchen and make some noodles." Lu Yuanqing said with a smile, "Take Xiao Bao with you too!"
Lu Yuanhuan nodded and stepped forward to hug the person.
Cheng Xiaobao gripped Lu Yuanqing's clothes tightly on his arms.
"Uncle!!"
Lu Yuanqing said gently, "This is your aunt. Gugu will take you to make noodles. Do you like fried eggs? Let your aunt fry some for you!"
Cheng Xiaobao then looked at Lu Yuanhuan.
Lu Yuanhuan was gentle-looking and spoke softly, "Are you called Xiaobao? Why don't you come to the kitchen with your aunt?"
Cheng Xiaobao hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out his hand.
Lu Yuanhuan laughed and hugged him tightly before heading to the kitchen.
Once inside the kitchen, Zhang Panlan asked, "This child looks just like Yuanbo! He's just a little timid!"
Lu Yuanqing took a sip of water and laughed, "I should have been quite bold before, but something happened, and that's why I've become timid."
"Brother, stop talking nonsense. Tell me, didn't you go to see Uncle? Did you see him? That kid looks so much like me, he must be our uncle, no doubt about it!"
"And another thing, why didn't your uncle come back with you?"
"That's right! Yuanqing, your uncle didn't come back with you, so how come a child came back with you!"
Lu Yuanqing made a pause gesture.
One by one, they spoke in his ear at the same time, all of them were questions and answers. Which one should he answer first?
"Don't worry, let me tell you slowly. Yuanbo must have told you that we met someone on the train to Jiang'an City! Let's start from when Yuanbo and I parted ways..."
Lu Yuanqing didn't have the mood to tell a story; he simply recounted it point by point.
Cheng Yong's death and Cheng Jun's current situation have put Xiao Bao in the same predicament.
He didn't exaggerate or give evasive answers; he explained everything he saw clearly, word by word.
After Lu Yuanqing finished speaking, the main room fell silent.
After a long while, Lu Guobin finally managed to speak with difficulty, "I never imagined your uncle would suffer so much, never having a moment of peace in his entire life."
If he knew that his son and grandson would live such a miserable life after his death, he would be in unimaginable pain.
"Brother, that woman named Xia Yanhong dared to bully Xiaobao like this! You should teach her a lesson for bullying a member of the Lu family!"
Lu Yuanqing rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay him any attention.
"Third Uncle, will my younger brother be living with us from now on?" Lu Mingnan asked, tugging at Lu Yuanqing's sleeve.
Lu Yuanqing lowered his head and smiled at him, "Yes, my younger brother will be living with us from now on. Please ask Xiao Nan to help your third uncle take good care of him and make sure no one bullies him!"
"Don't worry, Uncle, I will definitely not let anyone bully my brother!" Lu Mingnan patted his chest and promised.
"Me too!"
"Me too! I won't allow anyone to bully my brother!"
Xiao Bei and Xiao Zhong also raised their hands. They were confused the whole time, but they knew that their younger brother was pitiful. He was beaten by his mother and not given food. They wanted to protect him.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Panlan smiled and said, "He's not a younger brother, he's an older brother! Xiao Bao is older than you!"
"I don't want to be the younger sister, I want to be the older sister, and Xiao Bao will be the younger brother!"
"Then I don't want to be the younger brother, I want to be the older brother!"
"Hahaha!!!"
The two children's innocent remarks made everyone laugh, and they laughed away all the discomfort they had been feeling!
