You need to raise your pet using a system [Era]

Chapter 220 Lu Yuanhuan

Well, Lu Yuanqing wasn't too surprised that Lu Yuanbo couldn't remember people.

However, this matter is not important; other things need to be considered.

"What are your thoughts on what Aunt Pang recently brought up?" Lu Yuanqing asked, raising an eyebrow.

What else could it be?

It's just a blind date!

Once it's over, it's over. Why keep dwelling on it?

The villagers gave the two brothers face and treated Zhao Fengqin and her son with disdain for a while, but they couldn't keep doing that for the next few decades!

Moreover, Gu Hewang and Fang Qingqing have already met each other's parents and set a date.

Can I continue to be unhappy about this?

Just go on another blind date.

So, naturally, Granny Pang approached Lu Yuanqing.

Now, Lu Yuanqing and Lu Yuanbo are both people she needs to catch up with.

If the two single men, especially Lu Yuanqing, don't hurry up, they'll really be lifelong bachelors.

Lu Yuanqing was already used to this tactic.

He acted as if he still had feelings for Gu Baoxia, and wouldn't settle for anyone else.

But when faced with well-meaning older women who wanted to reunite him and Gu Baoxia, the two of them appeared troubled, resolute, and unwilling to compromise.

The other kind-hearted women slapped their thighs, but neither of them wanted to speak.

They are unwilling to reconcile, but also unwilling to find someone else.

Nobody in the village knows what to do with the two of them!

There's no way around it, Lu Yuanqing doesn't want to meet other girls, so Lu Yuanbo's age is really suitable!

Naturally, Granny Pang came to Lu Yuanqing's place.

As long as Lu Yuanqing nodded, she immediately took Lu Yuanbo to the girl's house to meet her.

However, Lu Yuanqing is not a parent who can make decisions unilaterally. As mentioned before, Lu Yuanbo needs to give his approval before he will agree to speak to Aunt Pang.

"What do you think? Aunt Pang said she'd introduce you to someone, and if you agree, she'll take you to see him!" Lu Yuanqing asked directly.

Lu Yuanbo didn't seem very interested. "Brother, how about we wait a little longer..."

Lu Yuanqing: "Are you still thinking about Fang Qingqing?"

“How could that be!” Lu Yuanbo quickly replied.

Although it was a little uncomfortable at first.

It's already heartbreaking enough that the person he liked didn't like him, but for them to nitpick at him like he was a cabbage is even more painful.

But we hadn't known each other for very long, so it was just a vague feeling.

But then this happened, and just like that, the feeling vanished in an instant.

Therefore, there's no question of liking them, let alone missing them.

"I just find it a bit annoying!" Lu Yuanbo said with a frown.

Before he felt this way, he thought he was quite relaxed on his own.

He finally figured things out, but the experiences he had weren't good. Now he simply feels that things are fine as they are.

What's so great about it?

Lu Yuanqing's head was spinning!

Does this mean you're glad you're single?

He felt there was too much of a generation gap and couldn't find someone who moved him.

That's why he's single.

Moreover, the era he lived in in his previous life made him subconsciously feel that being single was not a bad thing. He believed in being single rather than settling for someone he couldn't find someone he truly liked.

But in this day and age, Lu Yuanbo, after experiencing just a little setback in love, acts as if he has seen through the illusions of life.

Lu Yuanqing was unsure whether to follow his heart and support him, or to conform to current ideas and beat him up.

"You have to give me a deadline! Don't say things like you never want to get married, or I'll break your legs!" In the end, Lu Yuanqing decided to combine both approaches.

Lu Yuanbo's eyes widened in disbelief. "Why did you break my leg? I didn't say I didn't want to get married, I just didn't want to for the time being!"

Lu Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but still retorted: "Your attitude just now, as if you've seen through life and want to become a monk, startled me. What if, because of that bastard Gu Hewang, you end up disillusioned with the world and alone for the rest of your life? I'll definitely go and destroy him!"

Really!

Lu Yuanbo is such a foolish younger brother!

What if someone teases him and he's destined to never marry or have children? Then... wouldn't we have to support him for the rest of our lives?

Lu Yuanqing preferred to eliminate Gu Hewang.

This explanation made Lu Yuanbo burst into laughter.

"Brother, what are you thinking! What do you mean you don't want to get married! Why don't you want to? Why don't you want to?" Lu Yuanbo was speechless. What on earth were you thinking?

"I just don't like being introduced to people. I'll pursue whoever I like myself, and I don't want Aunt Pang to introduce me to anyone!"

It wasn't that Lu Yuanbo had progressive ideas; in the countryside, where unmarried men and women were mostly introduced by matchmakers, he preferred to find someone he liked on his own.

He disliked completing such a significant event for him so quickly with strangers, simply because of a matchmaker's introduction and the involvement of both sets of parents.

"Simply put, when you meet someone through a blind date, there's very little time to get to know them and understand them personally. The conversation usually revolves around their family situation, which I don't like!"

Lu Yuanbo explained earnestly.

To put it simply, if he were to get married, he would prefer to marry the person he wants to marry, rather than getting engaged simply because both sets of parents are satisfied and the couple feels there are no major problems. He doesn't like that!

Lu Yuanqing silently rolled her eyes. "I know, you just want to find a partner on your own and don't want to go on blind dates."

This kid is a pure-love god of war.

Wow! I didn't realize that!

Lu Yuanbo nodded vigorously, smiled, and said, "Brother, that's right. I don't like blind dates. Tell Aunt Pang not to introduce any more to me!"

Lu Yuanqing rolled her eyes at him, "Fine, now I'm really going to offend Madam Pang!"

It is said that you should never offend the matchmaker.

But he absolutely had to offend him!

"Thank you, brother!" Lu Yuanbo said gratefully.

To be honest, he didn't want to reveal his true thoughts at first.

After all, it seems that no parent in the village would allow their child to act so recklessly.

What feelings are there? They need to be understood gradually.

This is all nonsense to parents; they believe that once you're married, everything can be cultivated gradually.

Instead of having such pretentious thoughts, it's better to choose a family with similar circumstances, get married and have children as soon as possible.

But because of Lu Yuanqing, he was willing to try to speak out.

Because he knew that even if he told Lu Yuanqing his true thoughts, Lu Yuanqing would not laugh at him, but would support him.

Without Lu Yuanqing, Lu Yuanbo might never have spoken out. His life, like most people's, involved blind dates, both sets of parents being satisfied, and then, not being very keen on it himself, he quickly got married and had children.

Lu Yuanqing would indeed not force him.

They wouldn't say that you should start thinking about marriage just because you've reached a certain age.

They wouldn't say anything like, "Don't be picky, just be okay."

He once said that he really knew nothing about raising children.

All he could do was try his best to provide a safety net for them, no matter what they did or what they encountered in the future.

In other aspects, he admits that he has not done well, but he will slowly try to change!

Lu Yuanbo doesn't want to go on blind dates and isn't in a hurry to find a partner, so Lu Yuanqing supports him.

Even after he told Aunt Pang about it, he only gave a sheepish smile when she walked away with a cold face, and then forgot about it.

Others might be afraid of offending the matchmaker, but he wasn't.

Anyway, he's afraid he'll be single for the rest of his life and will never need Aunt Pang.

He used to only consider Lu Yuanbo, but now he doesn't want him anymore.

As for Lu Yuanhuan and Lu Mingxi, Lu Yuanqing had no intention of letting them return to the village to get married, so there was no need for a matchmaker.

The rest of the kids are still too young to think about this.

Life in the village continued peacefully and busily.

With the examples of their predecessors in mind, the newly arrived educated youth haven't caused any trouble yet.

Perhaps the autumn harvest hasn't started yet, and they haven't experienced what despair is, so naturally they have no desire to cause trouble.

As for Ren Pingsheng and his family, and Lu Yuanqing's family, they usually act as if they don't know them, and they won't say a word to each other if they meet in the village.

Their task is arduous; they are quite old, yet they still have to carry manure every day.

There's no way to get rid of this.

Everyone knows their status when they went to the countryside.

It's impossible for Zhao Zhongcai to openly favor them just because of Lu Yuanqing.

The same applies to Lu Yuanqing.

It won't work openly.

Secretly, Lu Yuanqing went to the cowshed to find them behind the villagers' backs, bringing them a lot of food and supplies, and telling them to hide it well, and that they could still contact him in case of emergency.

It's called a cowshed, but it's actually a mud house that the villagers used to discard.

In recent years, people have made money and built brick and tile houses for every family. Some of the old mud houses have been demolished and rebuilt, while others have chosen new foundations.

Therefore, quite a few mud houses were phased out, so naturally the cattle in their village didn't live in leaky cowsheds.

The brigade luxuriously housed the cattle in a mud house that had been phased out near the pig farm.

After Ren Jianhua and his group came down, there were naturally no drafty and leaky cowsheds for them to live in.

They lived in the same building where the cows lived.

The cows used to live in the pigsty, but they live in the rooms!

A few disgruntled educated youth grumbled that the treatment was too good and didn't seem like they were there for reform.

Chunhua overheard this and thought they were being sarcastic, saying that Shihua Village was too well-off. This reminded her of the group of people who were envious of the bamboo ware factory's profits.

Aunt Chunhua immediately started yelling at them, saying that Shihua Village is rich and powerful, and that if they dare to cause trouble, they can come directly. The entire Shihua Village is not afraid of them.

This series of actions terrified the educated youth so much that they dared not say anything more, and it also made these newly arrived educated youth clearly understand the fierce nature of the villagers of Shihua Village.

The upcoming autumn harvest further drained their energy, leaving them with no energy to do anything else. They worked from the moment they opened their eyes until sunset, unable to return to their lodgings.

After the autumn harvest, Lu Yuanqing worked tirelessly to finish the grain delivery and distribution in the village. He entrusted the three children to Lu Guobin and Lu Mingnan to his master. Then, he hurriedly took Lu Yuanbo and Lu Mingdong to the city.

Damn it, Lu Yuanhuan wrote back saying he was getting married, and Lu Yuanqing was so angry he couldn't sleep for several nights!
