Chapter 241: Chapter 241 Second Uncle Cos
Lu Jianshe hugged Lu Ruisheng tightly, “So this is what my nephew looks like all grown up, just as handso as I imagined. So wonderful.” As he spoke, he couldn’t help but start crying, and the more he cried, the sadder he beca, unable to stop at all.
Unlike Lu Jianguo, who was restrained, Lu Jianshe cried indulgently, loudly, and unashadly, which made Gu Pan feel terrible too, and tears involuntarily fell from her eyes.
Lu Jianguo bowed his head, continuously wiping away tears.
All four of them were crying; the scene was sowhat like what Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng had imagined for their family reunion.
Squad Leader Fang and Fang Lanlan heard the noises, glanced at the door, understood roughly what was happening, and chose not to co out, knowing to keep their distance.
After a while, Lu Jianguo finally spoke, “What are we doing crying out here in the yard? People will laugh at us, let’s go inside.”
Lu Ruisheng agreed, “Yes, yes, Second Uncle, let’s go inside.”
Talking this way, they all entered the house.
Once inside, Lu Jianshe finally noticed Gu Pan, “You’re Panpan, right?”
Gu Pan nodded, “Yes, I’m Gu Pan, Second Uncle.”
Lu Jianshe smiled and said, “Good, good, good, such a wonderful child. You can tell she’s good at first glance, Shengsheng has great taste, very fortunate.”
Gu Pan, feeling a bit embarrassed by the praise, replied, “You flatter , Second Uncle.”
Lu Jianshe took off the backpack he was carrying, placed it on the table, and said to Gu Pan, “Your Second Aunt sent a gift for you.” Saying this, he pulled out a large box from the bag and handed it to Gu Pan.
Gu Pan looked towards Lu Jianguo.
Lu Jianguo nodded, “Your Second Uncle and Second Aunt are family. Whatever they give you, you should take.”
Gu Pan accepted it and thanked Lu Jianshe, “Thank you, Second Uncle.”
Lu Jianshe replied, “No need to thank . Your Second Aunt said she has a lot more stuff for you. When you can see her, she’ll give them to you in person. She doesn’t have much, but she does have a lot of jewelry.”
Gu Pan rembered Lu Jianguo ntioning that their Second Aunt’s family was wealthy from business, so she understood.
Lu Jianshe then started rummaging through his bag again and pulled out a watch to give to Lu Ruisheng, “This watch was bought by your grandmother. It’s one of the rare keepsakes in our family.”
Lu Ruisheng hesitated for a mont but accepted it. Previously, he felt that such an item should be kept by his father or Second Uncle, but having his Second Uncle give it to him was also a form of legacy, so he took it.
Next, Lu Jianshe began pulling out snacks from his bag, all kinds of food, so possibly expired, but the packaging was still nice. He didn’t stop until the bag was empty, all filled with food.
Lu Jianshe proudly said, “I missed watching my nephew grow up. These are all things I think kids would like. It’s the apocalypse, you can’t get much. Anyway, it fulfills a little wish of your Second Uncle.”
He hadn’t thought to bring any changes of clothes; after all, his brother had those. His bag was entirely used for bringing gifts for his nephew.
Looking at the snacks and things like Wahaha AD calcium milk, Lu Ruisheng smiled. When he was a child in the orphanage, he could have so, but he envied children with parents who bought them snacks. That kind of happiness was sothing he had not experienced before.
Now, seeing what his Second Uncle got him filled that void he’d felt as a child.
He said to Lu Jianshe, “Thank you, Second Uncle. I really like them.”
Lu Jianshe, delighted, responded, “Glad you like them. If you like them, Second Uncle will get you more tasty things in the future.”
Gu Pan saw them talking and went to the kitchen to boil so hot water and brewed a pot of fine tea. Previously, Lu Jianguo had ntioned that Lu Jianshe liked to drink tea, so she brought out the best she had, knowing that she had plenty of good stuff in her Space.
After preparing the tea, she brought it out and placed it on the coffee table, pouring it for the elders.
Lu Jianshe slled the aroma of the tea, “This is, this tea slls so much like fresh tea, pre-rain Longjing? Impossible from that year, how did you store this?”
Gu Pan had a good explanation for this kind of question, “This was acquired not long ago, I don’t know how the previous rchant preserved it. The exchange price was a bit high, but the item is really good.”
Lu Jianshe took the tea and slled it again before taking a tiny sip and savoring it delicately, “Good tea, really good tea.”
Gu Pan smiled and said, “If Second Uncle likes it, you can take all we have at ho. We two don’t understand tea, it’s wasted just kept at ho.”
Lu Jianshe did particularly enjoy this, but felt sowhat embarrassed, “No need, no need, keep it for hosting guests.”
Gu Pan replied, “We have more for guests, we lack nothing. Second Uncle, there’s no need to be polite with us. Once you stay with us for a few days, you’ll see how well-stocked we are.”
Lu Jianshe, puzzled, looked at Lu Jianguo. These young kids, even with abilities, could they really compare to them? Not to ntion, this tea wasn’t sothing they could just get whenever they wanted.
Lu Jianguo smiled at his brother, “I’ve gotten used to it. Before they t , they had chosen to be Scavengers. Many of the base’s major equipnt were brought back by them. This villa was earned by themselves. They’ve even mastered the base’s contribution point system. Knowing you were coming a couple of days ago, they specially hunted a wild boar and saved a leg for you, can you imagine?”
Lu Jianshe, eyes wide with surprise, “Really? Is that true?”
Lu Jianguo nodded, “Look at all the items in their house, and look at that snack cabinet over there, filled to the brim. I guess it’s all prepared for you.”
Lu Jianshe walked over and inspected the snacks above – canned goods, assorted fruit preserves, various freeze-dried fruits and vegetables, various jerkies, instant juice, honey, coffee, milk tea.
At any rate, their ho’s snacks weren’t just snacks; each one was a rare supplent currently lacking in nutrition, items not easily obtained outside, yet here they were stocked up, alternatives to ats, eggs, milk, fruits, and vegetables, they had everything.
Lu Ruisheng went and took two cans, opened them, placed a disposable spoon in each, and directly handed one to Lu Jianshe and one to Lu Jianguo.
Lu Jianshe, looking at Lu Ruisheng, “Are such precious items really consud so generously?”
Lu Ruisheng laughed at his Second Uncle’s humorous remark, “Yeah, we’ve hidden a lot outside, still worried they might expire before we finish them. So, Second Uncle, feel free to eat up.”
While eating, Lu Jianshe laughed, “Brother, brother, what good fortune did we accumulate for such a wonderful great-nephew like this, we don’t deserve such a child.”
Lu Jianguo sighed, “Yes, we really don’t.”
Lu Ruisheng quickly intervened to prevent the sorrowful mood, “Dad, Second Uncle, this isn’t your fault. Let’s not talk about this.”
Gu Pan glanced at the ti, “Dad, Second Uncle, I’ll go cook. You two chat.”
After finishing speaking, she rembered sothing and asked, “Second Uncle, do you have any dietary restrictions?”
Lu Jianshe waved his hands, “No, no, I don’t have any.”
Gu Pan nodded, “Alright, then I’ll just improvise.”
Lu Ruisheng stood up wanting to help.
Gu Pan quickly refused, “Really no need today, anyone who helps today is in trouble, you just do the dishes tonight.”
Lu Ruisheng knew his wife well, so he didn’t insist, “Alright, then I’ll do the dishes.”
