Chapter 320: Chapter 320: Are You a Devil? Chapter 320: Chapter 320: Are You a Devil? So villages were just single-story houses, but they were neatly arranged and clean.
Other villages had built many villas.
Hexing Village looked different from those seen before.
As they approached Hexing Village, the environnt beca a bit dusty, with a lot of dust on both sides of the road.
Once inside Hexing Village, they found that the roads were not very even.
But the New Year atmosphere in the village was quite thick.
The patchy walls were pasted with the character “”Fu””.
Outside the walls of the courtyard, the roots were piled up with the red paper from firecrackers, and the air still carried a sll of sulfur.
Every household’s door was adorned with the character “”Fu”” and Spring couplets, and on the road, children gathered together to play with small, harmless fireworks.
The villagers had taken holidays for themselves, no one worked outside, and everyone went from house to house visiting, drinking tea, and gossiping.
After leaving one household, they imdiately moved on to the next.
Every household was busy visiting each other.
On the road, soone saw Lu Youxi and the others returning and was very surprised.
“Oh my, Youxi and family are back! We thought you wouldn’t return for the New Year,” soone exclaid in surprise.
After all, they had fallen out with Lu Family’s elders and Lu Zhenjia’s family and had stopped interacting, so it was unexpected that they would return.
“We ca back to see the village chief and Grandma Xu, as well as Aunt Lin and Aunt Liu,” Lu Youxi didn’t ntion Lu Family’s elders at all.
Hearing this, the villagers understood, since Lu Family’s elders weren’t really good people, their current plight wasn’t worth sympathy.
So gossipers even started whispering to Lu Youxi mysteriously, “Youxi, do you know about your grandparents now…”
Lu Youxi smilingly stopped them from continuing, “We’ve heard about it.”
Not only did she know, Lu Zhenguo also knew.
The person hesitated and didn’t continue, looking sowhat disappointed, “Oh, you all know already.”
Lu Youxi smiled and said, “We’re going to pay a New Year visit to the village chief first.”
As Lu Youxi and her people moved forward, soone noticed a new face among them, Xu Jingmin.
Xu Jingmin had an excellent deanor that stood out, even though she dressed modestly this ti, her extraordinary presence couldn’t be concealed.
So soone asked, “Youxi, who is this…”
Xu Jingmin took the initiative to introduce herself, “I’m Shuyan’s mother, I’ve specially co to pay New Year respects to Grandma Xu.”
“Oh my, ca all the way to see Grandma Xu.”
“After all, Grandma Xu has saved Shuyan’s life!”
“Speaking of Grandma Xu, sigh!”
“Yes, such a good person, how did she end up with such unfilial children.”
The villagers’ gossip topic shifted to Grandma Xu again.
Lu Youxi shook her head, not wanting to hear the villagers gossiping about these matters, and said to everyone, “Let’s go greet the village chief first, then head to Grandma Xu’s house.”
Everyone agreed and then they went to the village chief’s house first.
The village chief was at ho, receiving neighbors who had co to pay a New Year visit, when suddenly a burst of barking ca from the entrance.
Following that, they heard Lu Youxi’s voice, “Xiao Wang, it’s .”
Xiao Wang ran to Lu Youxi’s feet, sniffed her shins, as if rembering Lu Youxi’s scent, and finally stopped barking.
Then it began wagging its tail while jumping onto Lu Youxi’s legs.
Lu Youxi bent over to pet Xiao Wang and rubbed his ears.
Xiao Wang looked so blissfully lost with his tongue sticking out, panting and whimpering adorably.
“Alright, alright, Xiao Wang, let’s go see Uncle Village Chief,” Lu Youxi patted Xiao Wang’s head.
It seed Xiao Wang understood Lu Youxi’s words. After being petted a few tis, he reluctantly let go of Lu Youxi and stopped pouncing on her.
But he still followed closely by Lu Youxi’s side, walking while sticking out his tongue and looking up at her.
When the Village Chief’s Wife heard Lu Youxi’s voice, she ca out first. “Youxi!”
“Auntie!” Lu Youxi hurriedly went up to greet her.
The Village Chief’s Wife affectionately took Lu Youxi’s hand, “Co in quickly!”
“Uncle Village Chief!” Lu Youxi called out as she entered the house.
The village chief, not expecting Lu Youxi’s return, smiled broadly when he saw her.
Lu Youxi was always one to rember her roots.
Not like Lu Youbang, who hadn’t returned since he went to the Imperial Capital.
Unlike with Lu Youxi, the Lu Family’s elders weren’t so generous towards Lu Youbang.
Even though the Lu Family’s elders were both bedridden, Lu Youbang hadn’t co back to check on them.
“Uncle Village Chief, this is my mother-in-law,” Lu Youxi introduced, “She specifically ca to wish Grandma Xu a happy new year.”
The village chief didn’t expect Zhou Shuyan’s mother to be so beautiful and graceful; no wonder Zhou Shuyan turned out the way he did.
It’s thoughtful of her to travel all the way from the Imperial Capital to Hexing Village to wish Grandma Xu a happy new year during the holidays.
The village chief whispered, “Do you all know about Grandma Xu’s situation?”
Lu Youxi nodded, “I called Grandma Xu to wish her a happy new year yesterday. Hearing that sothing seed off, I asked Aunt Lin.”
The village chief sighed, “Grandma Xu’s children… really indescribable.”
“Uncle Village Chief, these are gifts for you and Auntie,” Lu Youxi brought out the gifts, “These are for Yanshun.”
Yanshun, already a tall young man, heard that Lu Youxi had brought him “gifts” again and imdiately made a crying face, “Youxi, you didn’t bring more practice books, did you?”
“No, no.” Lu Youxi quickly shook her head.
Just as Yanshun was about to sigh in relief, he heard Lu Youxi say, “This ti, I’ve photocopied all the Imperial Capital’s college entrance exam mock test papers for you.”
Lu Youxi pulled out a thick stack of papers.
“Start with these, and I’ll give the answers to Uncle Village Chief. After you finish, you can ask him for them. If there’s anything you don’t understand, ask your teacher, and if you still don’t get it, co to .”
Hearing this, the village chief burst into an excessively happy grin, delighted with the mock test papers from the Imperial Capital.
“Very good, very good, I’ll definitely grade them myself against the answers,” the village chief grinned, “Although I’m not highly educated, I can still mark the papers with the answers. It will be good to see how well he has learned.”
Yanshun imdiately pouted, “Youxi, are you the devil?”
“Scorn,” Aunt Lin and Aunt Liu also have them,” Lu Youxi cheerfully said, “You’re not alone at all.”
Yanshun: “…”
But frankly, hearing Lu Youxi say this, he felt sowhat psychologically balanced.
At least he only started working hard in high school.
Aunt Lin’s and Aunt Liu’s kids, already having to tackle Lu Youxi’s test questions in middle school.
It’s too pitiful.
“Uncle Village Chief, we’ll head to Grandma Xu’s first,” Lu Youxi said, “She’s alone at ho during the New Year, and I’m worried.”
“Go ahead,” the village chief chuckled, “How many days are you staying this ti?”
