Lu Xu and his entourage entered Guanyang County in the morning when the city gate had just opened.
They had calculated the distance the night before. Everyone was eager to return home. They did not stay outside anymore and lit torches all night long to travel.
At dawn, they happened to be able to see Guanyang County.
At that moment, Lu Xu had never felt that Guanyang County was so cute, cuter than any city he saw along the way.
The city defenders had seen them on the tower. There was also a Luo family member on the tower. He shouted at Luo Chun and others from a distance. While watching the door open at the right time, he sent someone to find Luo Shen.
Lu Xu and the others mingled with the people who came to the city to sell vegetables, chatting and laughing.
"Master Lu?"
"Yes, yes, it's really Xiao Lu!"
"It's so dark, I almost didn't recognize it."
Lu Xu chuckled: "It's me, it's me. I haven't seen you for a few days. How is everyone?"
"good!"
"Are we still the same as before?"
"Are you... coming back from the north?"
"I really went to Shuozhou. I heard that you asked Manzi to buy sheep. Have you met Manzi?"
"Then there certainly isn't one. Don't you see there isn't even a sheep?"
"There are quite a lot of cows..."
"What's in this car?"
…
They were chatting happily when the city gate opened from the inside, and Lu Xu's caravan and nearby people filed into the city.
Luo Shen also hurried from the city, checked Lu Xu's documents as usual, and asked the city guards to check the goods. After all inspections were completed, he smiled at Lu Xu and the Luo family who had been waiting aside.
Luo Shen: "Why did it take so long?"
Luo Chun: "That's a long story! Let's take a walk and go home first. I'm hungry after walking all night."
Lu Xu also said: "I'm hungry too. Brother Luo, let's have a good chat tomorrow. I'll go home for dinner first!"
Luo Shen waved his hand and told him to leave quickly.
Lu Xugong held his hands and led the caravan towards the grocery store.
Dozens of bullock carts and mule carts passed through the streets and alleys, attracting onlookers all over the street.
Before Lu Xu had walked halfway, he saw Yan Junqi standing in the middle of the street holding a book bag.
Lu Xu was startled and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
He jumped off the bullock cart and ran towards Yan Junqi with long strides, running faster and faster, leaving a group of people behind, laughing and rushing towards Yan Junqi.
Yan Junqi expected that he would run around like this without any care, so he dropped his book bag, opened his arms, and hugged Lu Xu, who was rushing towards him at full speed.
Yan Junqi hugged Lu Xu and took three steps back before they stopped. Lu Xu cheered: "Jun Qi! How did you know I'm here?!"
Lu Wen's cool voice came from the side of the road, and his tone was full of disgust: "Half the city knows that you are back, okay? The Luo family has already sent someone to notify the house!"
Lu Xu seemed to have just seen him, and at this time he also noticed Lu Zhou who was bending down to pick up Yan Junqi's book bag, "Lu Wen, Lu Zhou, you are here too!"
Lu Wen: "..."
Did Brother do it on purpose? Did he do it on purpose? !
But Lu Zhou was happy and excited. He danced close to Lu Xu and shouted happily, "Brother!"
Lu Xu let go of Yan Junqi, picked up Lu Zhou and weighed him, "It's heavy! It seems to be taller too!"
Lu Zhou smiled at him with a red face. Lu Xu picked him up in the street. Lu Zhou was a little embarrassed.
Lu Xu put him down and looked at Lu Wen as if he had discovered something special, "Lu Wen, why are you still so tall?"
Lu Wen almost lost his temper. He jumped up next to Lu Zhou and waved wildly to Lu Xu: "When you left, the difference between us was so high. When you came back, the difference was still the same. As Lu Zhou has grown, so have I, okay?" ?!”
Lu Xu pressed down his combed hair: "Nonsense, the difference is obviously bigger."
Lu Wen: "Ah!!!"
He was so angry, why was his elder brother so annoying!
Lu Xuan also led people here. When he arrived, he heard Lu Xu teasing Lu Wen again. He immediately laughed and said, "He has already asked the doctor to prescribe medicine. Brother, please stop bullying him."
Lu Xu: "You still need to prescribe medicine to grow taller? I have a panacea."
He patted Lu Wen and pointed in the direction of the motorcade, "Did you see those two cows? I found the two cows that were not pulling the cart. I found them specially for you. You can bring them back to the yard and feed them well. Drink a glass of milk every day. I promise Can grow taller.”
Lu Wen:? ? ?
Although he didn't know what milk was, he highly suspected that his elder brother was tricking him into feeding their family's cows! !
"Let's go, the warehouse door is open, let's unload the goods first." Seeing the convoy approaching, Lu Xuan stepped forward to lead the way.
Lu Zhou followed Lu Xu step by step, constantly looking into the motorcade and asked, "Brother, where is the second uncle?"
Lu Xu: "Second uncle is driving the car behind."
Lu Zhou said "Oh" and felt relieved.
"Why did you come out so early? Has the academy changed the time?" Lu Xu led Lu Zhou towards the warehouse.
Lu Zhou: "No, Brother Junqi and I will go to the store to help for a while in the morning, and we will go to the academy soon."
Lu Xu looked at Yan Junqi and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work."
He touched Lu Zhou's head again and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Lu Zhou smiled happily at him, "It's not hard."
Lu Xu said "Hmm" and said casually: "It's harder for me. The sun is strong over there, and I'm tanned even though I'm sleeping in the open air."
Lu Zhou:? ? ?
Lu Wen was shocked again by his elder brother's shamelessness, and thought to himself, shouldn't he leave this to others?
When they were approaching the warehouse, Yuan Manniang held Lu Rui and held hands with La Yue, while Yan's mother hurried over holding Wen Zhen.
The official sent by Luo Shen to notify the Lu family saw that the grocery store was open, so they came straight here without going to Lu Xu's house. Yuan Manniang still heard the excitement outside, and only after asking others did she know that Lu Xu and the others were back. .
As soon as she arrived, Third Aunt, Han Lu and Xiao Xia, who had just entered the city from the south gate, also arrived. When they heard that Lu Xu was back, they didn't even put anything in the shop and ran over.
Lu Xu was surrounded by her mother-in-law, aunt, and younger sister, and her thick-skinned face was defeated, and she felt a little embarrassed.
Yuan Manniang looked him up and down many times, and when she saw that he was healthy, she felt relieved and burst into tears: "Xu'er, have you lost weight? You look darker."
Lu Xu had just finished teasing himself when the boomerang quickly hit him again, and said sarcastically: "The sun is brighter over there than here."
Lu Wen and Lu Xuan were shaking with laughter beside them, and even Lu Zhou and Yan Junqi were laughing silently.
Lu Xu coughed lightly and changed the subject, "Have you cooked at home? I'm already hungry."
"Are you hungry? Come on, let's go home and have dinner!" Third Aunt greeted her and pushed a cart of goods just brought from the village straight to Lu Xu's house.
Han Lu and Xiao Xia even gave themselves a holiday. What else would the eldest brother do when he comes back? Closed for the day!
Lu Xu picked up La Yue, who had been calling "brother" and "brother" around his legs, and was surrounded by relatives. He went home! !
Shower, eat, catch up on sleep.
Lu Xu slept all morning and became energetic after noon. The clothes he brought back were already drying in the yard.
Yuan Manniang didn't go to the clothing store either. She was sitting in the yard cleaning his shoes. On the other side, the third aunt was washing his blanket, beating and whispering to Yuan Manniang.
Lu Yue led Wen Zhen and Lu Rui to dig and play in the yard. From time to time, she turned to look into his room, and was the first to notice that Lu Xu was up.
December dropped the wooden shovel and ran over: "Brother!"
Wen Zhen also ran over: "Brother!"
Lu Xu touched the heads of each one, gave them a hug, and then looked at Lu Rui, who was still standing by the tree holding a small shovel and looking at him curiously.
Lu Xu was shocked and sad, "Lu Rui, don't you remember your brother?"
Lu Rui tilted his head to look at him, and Lu Xu was doubting his life. He suddenly said "Hey", ran over with a small shovel, bumped into Lu Xu's leg, hugged his leg and rubbed it, sweet Sweetly call me brother.
Whether he did it on purpose or if he really forgot about Lu Xu and just remembered it, Lu Xu was heartbroken.
He has been a brother and daddy's treasure for so long, but he actually forgot about him? !
Lu Xu picked up Lu Rui and slapped Lu Rui's little butt twice, "You are so heartless! You don't remember me after only a few months?"
Lu Rui moved her buttocks, laughed and squeezed into his arms, rubbing her little fleshy face against Lu Xu's face, making a coquettish "Brother!"
Lu Xu was so angry that she grabbed his little face again before she gave up. However, Lu Xu hugged him throughout the afternoon and did not let go. Even when she went to the warehouse to watch Lu Xuan pack the goods, she carried Lu Rui with her.
Lu Rui was extremely happy. Finally, someone did not dislike him. Shen was willing to hold him, give him snacks, and play with him. After spending the afternoon together, the two brothers reconciled again, and Lu Xu became Lu Rui again. My dearest brother.
Lu Xu opened a pack of dried meat and took a piece for Lu Rui to eat.
The air-dried beef jerky was as thick as an adult's finger and as long as the palm of a hand. Lu Rui grabbed it with both hands and chewed out the saliva, but he still couldn't do anything to the meat.
Lu Xu skillfully pulled out a small handkerchief from Lu Rui's pocket and wiped his saliva.
Lu Wen and Lu Xuan also looked ferocious as they ate, "What kind of meat is this? Why is it so hard?"
They don't make jerky that's so chewy here.
Lu Xu: “Beef.”
"What meat?!" Lu Wen and Lu Xuan were shocked.
There are no laws against eating beef in Daqi. In the past, when there were many cattle for farming, cattle that had died of old age had to be eaten. Even cattle that were too old were cheaper than pork because the meat was difficult to chew.
But beef is rare after all. Daqi people believe that cattle are used to plow the land and pull carts. They are so precious. How can they eat them if they live forever?
Cattle have become even more rare after the war. Now an adult cattle in Guanyang costs more than ten taels of silver.
Cow, just make it into jerky and eat it? !
Damn barbarians, how could they be so extravagant? !
Lu Xu took apart the milk tofu and milk skin and gave them to Han Lu and Xiao Xia, asking them to think about making milk tea or adding them to cakes.
What he brought back was dry, but to be on the safe side he still had them check it out to see if anything was broken or spoiled.
Lu Wen came over curiously and sniffed it, then wrinkled his nose and pushed it away in disgust.
Lu Xu immediately inserted his knife: "Do you know why you don't grow taller? Barbarians grow very tall? Because people like to eat this! Drink more milk, eat more dairy products, and take calcium supplements to grow taller!"
Lu Wen was doubtful, wondering what the hell his elder brother was talking about: "Gai? What Gai? Can you grow taller by eating this?"
Lu Xu said indifferently: "If you don't believe me, let Lu Zhou try it first, and then you can try again when he grows taller."
Lu Wen: "..."
Somehow, he believed it again.
Just when he was about to ask, Lu Xu had already gone to talk to Xiao Xia and Han Lu about using milk to make cakes and snacks.
Lu Wen: "..."
Just two cows, how much milk can they produce? We’ve made snacks, what will he drink? !
Lu Wen hurriedly came over: "Brother, can you really grow taller by drinking milk? Why doesn't anyone here drink it? Otherwise, I will have one, and Lu Zhou will have one. After we buy a new cow, we can make snacks for Xiaoxia and the others!"
When Xiao Xia heard this, she hurriedly said: "We are not in a hurry, let's give it to Xiao Wen and the others first."
Lu Xu looked at Lu Wen's small body and said disdainfully: "The mother cow can feed a calf, but even he can't drink so much milk until he dies!"
The author has something to say:
Today it’s Lu Rui, who is naughty and can’t chew dried meat, and——
Lu Wen, a young man who knows nothing about how much milk a cow produces every day,
From now on, he will be laughed at by his brother.
