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

Chapter 204 Lu Yuanbo is in trouble

Lu Yuanqing's marriage was a major event that his whole family was very concerned about.

But every time I try to remind them, they are violently suppressed.

That's true. Lu Yuanqing avoids Lu Guobin and the others because they are his elders.

When it comes to his own kids, he's the boss. If he doesn't allow them to say something, then they don't allow it!

Lu Mingdong's words immediately surprised Lu Yuanqing, "What do you mean I can't coax people? Your third uncle is eloquent and persuasive. If I want, anyone can be my friend!"

Lu Mingdong looked at him quietly, his little face showing both 'no' and 'trust'!

"Then why doesn't your future third aunt marry you?"

Lu Yuanqing's smile froze on his face.

But Lu Mingdong wouldn't let it go, counting on his fingers: "You've never asked her out, never given her a gift, not even for holidays!"

Once they're engaged, they're considered to have a relationship, and they'll interact like relatives during holidays and festivals.

The year Lu Yuanqing and Gu Baoxia first got engaged, they would bring grain to deliver as gifts early in the morning during festivals.

Then the Gu family would return the favor by bringing him gifts back.

But gradually, such interactions ceased.

Even after all these years, the two families still act like they're not close!

It's easier to reason with the Gu family, since they are the bride's family; they can't very well take the initiative!

But Lu Yuanqing, who was supposed to be proactive, didn't have the slightest intention of taking the initiative!

Lu Yuanqing said innocently, "Didn't our two families become sworn enemies after our fight?"

So, we can't put all the blame on him alone!

Lu Mingdong: "..." They really know how to shirk responsibility!

What family would never speak to each other again after just one fight? These are from the same village! They see each other all the time!

"Third Uncle, do you not like your future Third Aunt? Do you have someone else you like?"

Before Lu Yuanqing could answer, he contradicted his own guess: "No, you probably don't have anyone you like. You're not good with words, you don't know how to charm girls, and you're not proactive. You spend all your time thinking about work and lounging in a recliner. Where would you find someone you like?"

Lu Yuanqing: "..." Hiss, why does it sound so tragic?

Lu Mingdong ignored him and continued, "So, Uncle, you just don't like your future Aunt!"

"But my future third aunt doesn't seem to have a very good temper. Why would she allow you to delay her by so much? She doesn't even urge you! The Gu family hasn't even come knocking on our door..."

The more Lu Mingdong reasoned, the clearer his mind became. "So, she doesn't like you either. In fact, the fact that the Gu family didn't cause trouble was all because she was helping them!"

After arriving at this answer, Lu Mingdong stared wide-eyed at Lu Yuanqing, "What are you two trying to do?!"

Lu Yuanqing couldn't help but applaud him!

That was totally right!

"Since you're so good at guessing, keep going!" Lu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow at him!

Seeing his unserious demeanor, Lu Mingdong snorted, closed the book in his hand, and said indifferently, "I'm not guessing anymore!"

Lu Yuanqing chuckled, "Why aren't you guessing anymore?"

"I'm still young, I don't understand your world!" Lu Mingdong said coldly!

He no longer needed to know the reason.

All he knows now is that while the whole village is speculating about when the two of them will get married, he already knows that neither of them wants to get married and they are even using each other as a shield!

Lu Yuanqing burst into laughter!

It's so interesting to hear this precocious child admit that he's still young!

"If you guessed it, it's a secret between us. Don't tell your fourth uncle and the others!"

Lu Mingdong rolled his eyes at him, "It's all covered up!"

He's very tight-lipped; he would never tell anyone!

Lu Yuanqing smiled with satisfaction.

"Our Xiaodong is so smart! You're the smartest in our family. Your fourth uncle is miles ahead of you!"

Lu Yuanqing put on a sincere expression of praise for him.

Lu Mingdong glanced at him indifferently and said, "There is no need to doubt this."

"A haughty and cool little guy!" Lu Yuanqing chuckled.

Lu Mingdong: "Just like how Fourth Uncle would take people on dates, while Third Uncle doesn't even have anyone he likes, there's no doubt about that!"

Lu Yuanqing: "..." He's single, he's pitiful, and he's even being looked down upon!

wrong!

"What did you think your fourth uncle went to do?"

Dating?

What kind of date?

Who are you going on a date with?

When did you find a partner?

A series of questions entered Lu Yuanqing's mind!

Lu Mingdong blinked and asked sincerely, "You haven't noticed anything about Fourth Uncle's strange behavior lately?"

This is the question he truly wanted to ask.

During this period, Lu Yuanbo clearly acted strangely. He became more meticulous about cleanliness, rarely went home, and frequently wanted to go to the commune.

Lu Yuanqing didn't notice any of these unusual occurrences?

Lu Yuanqing shook his head blankly; he didn't know!

"So, your fourth uncle told you that he found a girlfriend?"

"If you found it, you found it, so why didn't you tell me?"

"Are you afraid I'll object? What's there to object to? I was already planning to introduce him to someone! Aunt Pang even asked me about it, wanting to introduce someone to Lu Yuanbo. I thought I'd let him know beforehand so I could be prepared, but he actually took care of everything himself?"

"But why didn't you tell me?"

Lu Yuanqing strongly disagreed with this.

Lu Mingdong watched him 'go crazy' quietly, and only after he finished speaking did he say, "Maybe he hasn't caught up with her yet! So he's thinking of telling them after he catches up?"

However, he noticed Lu Yuanbo's unusual behavior early on and guessed that he might be dating someone.

He is indeed the smartest person in the family, there is no doubt about that!

Lu Yuanqing frowned. "You should have said that you didn't succeed! With so many of us helping, wouldn't it have been much easier to win over the girl?"

Lu Mingdong asked, puzzled, "How is it easy?"

Lu Yuanqing glanced at him and said, "Many hands make light work! Give him some advice, and maybe he'll have already caught up with her!"

Lu Mingdong looked at him indifferently, pointed to himself, and said, "I'm still a child, I don't understand these things!"

Then he pointed at Lu Yuanqing and said, "Third Uncle, you don't have anyone you like. It seems you plan to stay single for the rest of your life, and you have no experience at all!"

So, who among them can help come up with ideas?

Lu Yuanqing: "..."

Are you kidding me? He used to live in a dormitory when he was in school, and he even gave advice to his roommates who were pursuing girlfriends!

He's the strategist!!!

Uh, one of the strategists!!!

"Who do you think is the smartest in the family?" Lu Yuanqing asked.

Lu Mingdong: "Me!"

"And the second one?"

"I'll count as my third uncle!"

Lu Yuanqing laughed angrily, "What do you mean by 'calculate'? I am!"

"Fine, you say we're among the smartest people in the family, yet we're not qualified to offer advice!"

Lu Mingdong stretched out his hand, placed his thumb and forefinger on his chin, and pretended to be thinking.

"That makes sense! I can be the first to help!"

Lu Yuanqing: "..."
