Chapter 1075: Chapter 1074: Endless Entanglement 4

Lu Tianzhi listened to Feng Qingxue’s words and chuckled, "Auntie, you’ve become so silly, if we can’t finish the eggs, we can just pickle them and eat salted eggs!"

Pickled salted duck eggs are really delicious, the yolks can even ooze oil.

Thinking of the salted duck eggs Feng Qingxue used to give them, Lu Tianzhi’s mouth watered.

Indeed, ’pregnancy brain’ for three years, Feng Qingxue finally caught on, "Right, I really forgot. After dinner, I’ll wash all the duck eggs and pickle two jars of salted duck eggs. A month or two later, when I’m not at home, you guys remember to take them out to eat. I remember when we just came back, I also pickled some salted duck eggs; they can be taken out to eat now. Let’s eat them tonight, with congee."

Guan Yu and the inseparable Lu Tianzhi were like a pair of twins, following along with a slurp, "So looking forward to it!"

White rice porridge and the rich, oily salted duck eggs are simply a match made in heaven.

Hearing Guan Yu’s description of the rice porridge and salted duck eggs, Lu Tianzhi’s father tapped his head and said, "What nonsense are you comparing? If you’d focus on your studies instead of being lazy, you wouldn’t come up with such comparisons that would make others laugh at you."

"I can’t get into the books in class! The content is so simple and monotonous." Guan Yu rubbed his head, "Plus, school was suspended last year, how am I supposed to study? Grandpa, why don’t you give me ’Journey to the West’ that I didn’t finish last time to read? I really like it, especially the part where Sun Wukong wreaks havoc in Heaven. I want to write great stories like Wu Cheng’en someday."

Lu Tianzhi’s father looked helplessly at the two grandsons who bore a close resemblance and said casually, "Sure, I’m looking forward to it. But you can’t take the books with you, and you mustn’t tell anyone outside about the stories or books you’ve heard or read. Besides, you could go ask your grandparents who live behind our house, they have a bellyful of stories."

Zhu Ling and Wenyue used to be well-known writers before their downfall; guiding Guan Yu would be most appropriate for them.

Long before, Lu Tianzhi’s father had realized that under the protection of their eldest brother, Lu Tianzhi and Guan Yu were a bit naive and lacked ambition, probably due to their unfamiliarity with worldly affairs. Fortunately, Lu Tianzhi had an exceptional talent for painting and calligraphy, and Guan Yu was very interested in writing. Lu Tianzhi’s father decided to nurture them according to their interests, as there were elder brothers like Guan Cheng and Lu Tianjun to bear the family responsibilities.

Of course, their studies should not be neglected because of the suspension of school; education is still very important.

High school students like Guan Cheng hadn’t graduated only because the situation in the country had forced them to. If he had graduated, he could have participated in recruiting by various government agencies and factories in the city. However, he was concerned about his home and chose to return to the countryside.

With the economic pressure in the city mounting, the country had long considered the idea of diverting urban population to rural areas or remote regions. Ten years ago, the "sent-down youth" appeared, but they were sent to support national construction in the Northwest or the Great Northern Wilderness. In the past two years, educated youths from rural backgrounds were seldom allowed to stay in the cities, with many being sent back to their hometowns, not everyone as willing as Guan Cheng.

Xibao patted his round belly and joined in, "I want to ride a big horse!"

"The big horses have to pull carts and sell garlic. Grandpa will take you riding on a little donkey," replied Lu Tianzhi’s father immediately, his brows lifted with a smile, "Grandpa driving the little donkey, Xibao riding it, sound good?"

"Grandpa gets tired, Grandpa rides the little donkey, Xibao drives the donkey," Xibao decided cheerfully.
