Chapter 74 Enthusiasm for Going to the County
Chapter 74 Enthusiasm for Going to the County
The 19th, the eve of the Lunar New Year.
Lu Yuanhuan got up before dawn.
Normally, she is always the one who gets up earliest in the family.
The first thing I do when I wake up is make breakfast for the whole family; even washing up is something I do in my spare time.
Once breakfast is ready, Lu Yuanqing and the others will wake up one by one.
But this morning, instead of making breakfast right away, she started waking people up.
That's right, Lu Mingxi, who shared a room with her, was the first to be woken up.
Lu Mingxi liked to stay in bed, but this was the first time he had been woken up so early. Instead of being annoyed, he suddenly got up with a smile on his face and started calling Lu Mingbei.
Lu Yuanhuan went out again to call Lu Yuanbo and the others!
Lu Yuanqing was also woken up.
Looking at the sky just beginning to brighten, he couldn't help but yawn.
"Little sister, it's not even dawn yet, why are you up so early!"
He slept at least an hour less!
"Third Brother, aren't we going to the county town today? I'm worried that if I get up late, I'll miss the bus to town," Lu Yuanhuan said while brushing his teeth.
There are only two buses a day from the town to the county, at nine in the morning and four in the afternoon.
Lu Yuanqing laughed speechlessly, "Nine o'clock, the train is at nine o'clock, look at what time it is now!"
It takes a little over an hour to get to town, so even if you leave at seven o'clock, it's more than enough time.
"I know!" Lu Yuanhuan said, "But we still have to get up to cook and eat breakfast! This delay is almost too much! Besides, it's better for us to go and wait for the bus a little earlier!"
There are always people waiting for cars, never cars waiting for people.
It's better to go early to wait for the bus so you can feel more at ease!
Lu Yuanqing was speechless, especially since the other kids in the family didn't seem to have any trouble getting up early at all; on the contrary, they were in a good mood and chattering away.
Lu Yuanqing shrugged and resignedly went to brush his teeth.
"By the way, little sister, let's not waste time making breakfast, let's go to town to eat!"
"Really?" Lu Mingnan asked immediately, "Third Uncle, can I have a meat bun?"
"Of course!" Lu Yuanqing smiled and bent down to rub his little head.
Lu Yuanhuan, who was already getting ready to go into the kitchen: "..."
She should have made breakfast before waking them—no, before waking Lu Yuanqing.
The family tidied up, closed the gate, and headed towards town with anticipation.
Lu Yuanqing followed them silently, slowly walking to the village entrance, and then exiting the village.
Well, not many villagers got up along the way.
This also helped avoid asking them where their family was planning to go.
The journey from Shihua Village to the town takes more than an hour, yet not a single person showed any signs of fatigue.
Lu Mingnan survived all of this on his own.
As for Lu Mingbei and Lu Mingzhong, they ran like they were in a competition. When they got tired, Lu Yuanqing and Lu Yuanbo would carry them on their backs. After resting, they would get down and continue playing the game of who could run the fastest.
Upon arriving in town, we headed straight for the state-run restaurant.
I ate quite a lot for breakfast: noodles, steamed buns, and mantou.
Under Lu Yuanhuan's distressed gaze, Lu Yuanqing bought noodles and the meat buns that Lu Mingnan had specifically requested.
However, he didn't buy much, and even kept emphasizing not to eat too much, since they were going to take a bus later, and none of them had ever ridden one before, so they didn't know if they would get carsick.
If you're full and bloated from a good meal, then motion sickness would be a disaster!
After dinner, Lu Yuanqing held a short meeting to give instructions, "Listen carefully, our whole family is going to the county, but Xiao Bei and the others are too young. In order to prevent them from getting lost or being abducted by human traffickers, we must hold their hands the whole way."
"Xiao Bei will be looked after by Xiao Mei, Xiao Zhong by Yuan Bo, and Xiao Nan by Xiao Xi and Xiao Dong together. Under no circumstances should they leave your sight, understand?"
"Understood!" Seeing his serious expression, Lu Yuanbo and the others also immediately became serious.
"If anyone gets lost, go to the police and ask them to take you to the department store to find me, because if I find out you're lost, I'll go to the department store to look for you."
"it is good!"
"Let's go then!" Lu Yuanqing waved his hand and began to call them to the station to wait for the train.
He took his family to the county for a trip, which was well-intentioned, but if something happens, he will have nowhere to turn for help.
It is certainly necessary to be careful.
The town is very small. After leaving the state-run restaurant, it only takes a few minutes to walk to the bus station.
It was still early, but after waiting for almost two hours, I finally paid and boarded the bus.
Lu Yuanqing sat on the dilapidated bus seat, looking utterly hopeless.
It was all for naught that he had specifically asked the driver for a trash bag before getting on the bus, just to prevent Lu Yuanbo and the others from getting carsick.
To my utter surprise, things turned out to be so absurd.
"Brother, are you alright? Do you need to throw up?" Lu Yuanbo sat down next to him, holding Lu Mingzhong in his arms.
Children don't have to pay for the bus fare, but there are no seats available.
Upon hearing Lu Yuanbo's words, Lu Yuanhuan and the others sitting in the back all leaned over to look at Lu Yuanqing with concern.
Lu Yuanqing had kept his eyes closed ever since the bus started moving. Hearing this, he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I don't feel like throwing up!"
Everyone in the family gets carsick and is full of energy, except for him.
Lu Yuanqing almost cursed.
Why?
The original body was so useless! He was the only one in his family who got carsick. Luckily, it wasn't nausea, just carsickness, headache, and general discomfort.
If he were to vomit in the car with a garbage bag in his hand, Lu Yuanqing would just want to jump out of the car; he didn't want to lose face like that!
System 666: "..." Could it be due to Lu Yuanqing himself?
You should know that Lu Yuanbo and the others don't get carsick.
Forget it, to avoid upsetting the host, it's best not to reveal the truth.
After all, the host never engages in internal strife; the problems always involve others!
After a bumpy two-hour ride, we finally arrived in the county town.
As soon as the bus stopped and the doors opened, Lu Yuanqing was the first to rush out.
He felt much better after smelling the fresh air.
"Brother, are you alright? Are you still dizzy?"
"Uncle Three..."
A bunch of kids got off the bus and immediately surrounded them.
Lu Yuanqing rubbed his aching temples and comforted him, "You feel much better after getting off the bus, don't worry!"
"Alright, we've arrived in the county town, so we need to go for a look around. Don't stay here looking so gloomy."
It has to be said that Lu Yuanqing felt quite good seeing how much they cared about him.
He could see the anticipation they had for coming to the county town.
Even in the car, they were discussing what to buy and what to do next.
But now everyone is surrounding him with concern.
