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

Chapter 260 Lu Mingxi Misses Home

Time flies, and Lu Yuanqing and his group have been in the city for two days and are planning to return to their village.

Lu Mingxi has been working these past two days, leaving early in the morning and returning in the afternoon.

Knowing that they would be going home the day after tomorrow and might wander around the city and buy some things tomorrow, Lu Mingxi still asked for leave.

The three children rarely have the opportunity to come to the city, so they are very energetic to be able to spend a day here.

Playing doesn't require much mental effort, but shopping at a department store can be very tiring.

Lu Yuanqing bought what he needed and then confidently let Lu Yuanbo lead the others in to buy what they needed as well.

He and Lu Mingxi stood guard at the door.

No matter the era, there will always be wealthy people.

There were quite a few people inside the department store.

Moreover, it's not just people buying things inside; there are even more people just browsing.

"Third Uncle, you really put up with them!"

The sudden sound caused Lu Yuanqing to withdraw his gaze from inside and turn to look at Lu Mingxi.

Lu Mingxi's gaze, however, fell on the other people inside who were happily shopping.

Lu Yuanqing was momentarily unsure whether he was hallucinating.

"How so?" Lu Yuanqing asked with a smile.

Lu Mingxi looked away and looked at him. "I consider myself to have seen a lot in the city these past few years, but I've never seen anyone spoil a child like you, Uncle."

Even the richest person wouldn't be this generous!

It's important to know that Lu Yuanbo and the other employees who have salaries have an unspoken agreement, just like Lu Mingxi who works in the city, to give half of their monthly salary to Lu Yuanqing. They all call it "paying for household expenses."

Oh! Lu Mingxi said it was a gift from Lu Yuanqing, out of filial piety.

Lu Yuanqing was utterly shocked, feeling as if he wasn't turning thirty next year, but already in his seventies or eighties.

But he still held onto their 'filial piety,' and because he understood the future development better, he needed the money even more.

Moreover, even the money he collected, he kept a record of it himself, and would give it back to them later.

Aside from those few who had money, the three younger ones had already spent all the savings they had accumulated from doing housework on buying gifts for Lu Yuanhuan and the chubby boy.

But the reason I can still enjoy shopping so much today is because of Lu Yuanqing's generosity.

After figuring out Lu Mingxi's sudden outburst of emotion, Lu Yuanqing laughed, "No, what's with that envious look on your face? I gave you the same treatment when you guys couldn't earn money before!"

Lu Mingxi smiled, but snorted defiantly, "Even if we were treated the same back then, things are different now. We weren't as fortunate as they were back then."

Lu Yuanqing frowned, "Your sudden reminiscing about the past is making me very uneasy!"

This girl is the type who lives for today and doesn't think about tomorrow; she's always enjoyed life, and now she's doing this.

How could Lu Yuanqing not get nervous?

Compared to Lu Yuanbo and the others who were under his watchful eye every day, and Lu Yuanhuan who was already married and didn't need his care, only Lu Mingxi was alone in the city, far from the emperor's reach, and he couldn't keep track of anything that might happen to him.

No matter how many letters she wrote, filled with details of her life, Lu Yuanqing was still worried that she would only report good news and not bad.

Lu Mingxi burst out laughing, "Third Uncle, you've become timid too, you actually panic?"

Time really can change a person!

Even when his parents were called in for a less-than-honorable reason, Lu Yuanqing didn't seem flustered at all.

Not only did he remain calm, but he also gave her a series of inspirational quotes the whole way.

Lu Yuanqing stared at her for a long while before saying, "Suddenly, I'm not panicked anymore."

After saying that, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he subconsciously said, "Are you lonely all alone in the city?"

Although Lu Yuanhuan also lives in the city, she is now married and has many things to take care of. Even if she wants to care about Lu Mingxi, she can only find the time.

The two live close by. They both have to work during the day and come home after get off work. The younger sister, with whom they have been close since childhood, now needs to devote a lot of attention to her own little family.

Now there's even a chubby little boy.

Cheng Xia also returned to the village. There was no one to confide in, so it's understandable that she felt lonely.

Lu Mingxi blinked and retorted, "No, I was just thinking that you're all going home tomorrow, and I don't have time to go back to the village. I don't know when we'll see each other again."

Going to school is definitely better than going to work.

At least students have holidays to go home during school.

After starting work, she had fewer holidays, and since she worked for the railway bureau, she was unlucky enough to have to travel on trains during the Spring Festival, so she didn't even have time to go home.

Lu Yuanqing chuckled and ruffled her hair, saying, "The happiest time in a person's life is when they are a child, but ironically, when you are a child, you are also eager to grow up!"

"Missing home is nothing shameful, what's there to be embarrassed about saying?"

"You want to go back to the village too?"

Lu Mingxi looked up and shook his head violently, "No."

Even if she misses home and family, she doesn't want to give up everything she has now.

Lu Yuanqing gave her an approving look and said, "The right decision."

Lu Mingxi smiled too.

One reason is that she herself is unwilling, and another reason is that Lu Yuanqing will not agree.

She was the one who understood best what her third uncle expected of her.

Lu Yuanqing: "So, you've been working for so long, haven't you thought about your personal life yet?"

It wasn't that he was pressuring us to get married! We just suddenly started talking about this topic.

Lu Mingxi opened his mouth, about to say something, but suddenly paused and asked, "What about you? Third Uncle, are you really not planning to find us a Third Aunt? And Fourth Uncle, are you just going to watch him waste his time? Xiao Dong is three years older than me, but in the village, these things are already being considered a long time ago. Let me tell you, Third Uncle, you can't just settle for him like you did for Fourth Uncle. That brat always has a cold face. If you don't help him, I think he'll be single for the rest of his life."

Lu Yuanqing: "..."

So, Lu Mingxi doesn't know about Xiao Dong and Cheng Xia's situation yet!

“Our Xiao Dong is just as good! He’s handsome and earns a lot of money. Even though he has a cold face, he’ll definitely dote on his wife in the future.”

Lu Mingxi rolled her eyes. "You're just looking at him through a filter!"

“Young girls like people who can coax them. He only talks to his family a lot. When he talks to strangers, he always says sarcastic things. Young girls hate that kind of thing.”

Lu Yuanqing: "..."

The popularity of cool guys in novels is actually a very serious issue in reality.

So that's why Cheng Xia refused?

"Don't talk about them, I'm asking you: Do you have someone you like? When are you planning to get married?"

"Someone I like!" Lu Mingxi's lips suddenly curved into a very gentle smile. "I think, probably, there is someone!"

Lu Yuanqing was pleasantly surprised. He patted the back of her head and urged, "You really have someone you like? And you've been keeping it from me? Tell me!"

Lu Yuanqing was overjoyed.

But there's a saying in this world: extreme joy begets sorrow.

Before Lu Mingxi could speak, Lu Yuanqing was suddenly pulled, and the other person cursed loudly, causing his mouth to go numb!

He got beaten up?!
