Chapter 343: Chapter 331 Training Base

After dinner, Zhang Min pulled Lu Yun to go back to her room, and Shitou also stuck around, following along. When he saw that, Zhang Min gave him a white look, "What, are you afraid I’ll secretly bully your wife when you’re not around?"

"How could that be?" Shitou felt awkward, while Lu Yun’s face also turned red as she pushed him away, "Stop following us."

Shitou looked aggrieved, and Zhang Min found it hard to bear yet amusing. "Oh, let it be, what’s the harm in letting him see? That’s just how the men in the Pei family are. Your grandfather was like that when he was young too, so clingy, really unbearable."

Zhang Min laughed for a while, then as they happened to pass by a room, she opened the door, "This is the room we’ve freshly prepared for you two. Have a look and see if there’s anything that needs to be changed. The room Shitou was temporarily in was too simple, and the lighting wasn’t as good as this one."

"It’s really nice."

Lu Yun and Shitou entered and saw that the room was decorated with a touch of classical charm, a carved bed frame, a matching wardrobe, a chaise lounge, a dressing table... every piece showcased the decorator’s attention to detail. Both of them nodded in approval, feeling warmth in their hearts.

Once in Zhang Min’s room, she quickly took a box out of the safe and handed it to Lu Yun, "Inside are four gold bricks, one to be used for the jewelry for the three of us, and the other three specifically for the jewelry for your marriage to Shitou.

Don’t feel it’s too much. When Luoluo and Pei Kun got married, I gave her three gold bricks too, the same as you. So, if there’s any gold left over from those three, just keep it for yourself, no need to give it back to me.

The cost of making the jewelry will come out of the other brick. If there’s any left over, don’t be shy about keeping it. And if it’s not enough, just tell your grandmother, and she’ll make up the difference. Mind you, the craftsmanship for jewelry isn’t cheap."

"There won’t be a shortfall, the master craftsman who’ll make the jewelry won’t charge a craftsmanship fee." Lu Yun glanced at Shitou and giggled.

"Yeah, grandma, the goldsmith is an acquaintance, he definitely won’t charge us a craftsmanship fee, the very familiar kind of acquaintance," Shitou added, feeling quite proud of himself.

"You two are still too young. If the goldsmith really doesn’t take a fee, you might end up using more gold. Unless the relationship is like ours," Zhang Min said, shaking her head with a wry smile. "Anyway, I can’t explain it all to you in a moment. What have you two been through out there? Just remember, do unto others, the craftsman needs to eat too, even if he’s an acquaintance, insist on paying the fee; it’s not right to expect anyone to work for free."

"Grandma, actually, Shitou made that gold lock, and he’ll be the one to make these pieces of jewelry too," Lu Yun couldn’t help but whisper in Zhang Min’s ear, secretly telling her another use for Shitou’s spiritual power with a giggle. Zhang Min was stunned and then burst into laughter, "Spiritual power can be used like that?"

Lu Yun nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, so, grandma, if you ever get jewelry that you don’t like anymore, just ask him to change it. It won’t take long, and it won’t lose any gold in the process."

"That’s really useful, so from now on it won’t be difficult to change the style of the jewelry however we like? Not good, I need to take some time to remember a few jewelry designs for the next time you come back," Zhang Min said, suddenly excited and eager to try.

Then, as if struck by a thought, her eyes lit up. "As long as you have spiritual power, right? Doesn’t that mean your grandfather could also..."

"Right."

Thinking of the marriage certificate that Grandfather had presumptuously made on his own, Lu Yun couldn’t help but snicker mischievously, "Grandfather has a Psychic Power Talent. With a bit more practice, he could handle this too."

"Okay, I’ve got it. I’ll talk to him later. It’s getting late; you should head back, or Xiaoyun’s parents might start to worry." Despite her reluctance, Zhang Min knew it wasn’t right to keep them any longer, so she pretended to be impatient and waved them off.

In the courtyard of the Lu Family’s quad, Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan were eagerly awaiting.

Ever since they received a call after ten in the morning that Lu Yun and Shitou would be coming back today but could only stay for half a day, they immediately rushed home to wait, not even enjoying their lunch.

If it weren’t for a sliver of reason, both nearly ran to the door to wait; although they were still sitting in the living room, they took turns using their spiritual power to watch the entrance intently.

So when Lu Yun and Shitou appeared, it was Xia Yuan’s turn to watch. She sprang up instantly, her face alight with joy, "They’re back."

"Let’s go and welcome them," Lu Aiguo said with a beaming smile.

"Daddy, mommy."

"Daddy, mommy."

Lu Yun and Shitou called out simultaneously, and Lu Yun’s nose began to feel sore upon seeing the excited expressions of Xia Yuan and Lu Aiguo welcoming them. This reminded her of when Shitou had first returned for a family visit, the scene was exactly the same except for a different location.

"You’ve finally come back," both Xia Yuan and Lu Aiguo said with emotion, "It’s only been a few months, yet it feels like we haven’t seen you for years."

"You could have visited if you missed me," Lu Yun said, trying not to cry and laugh, while taking Xia Yuan’s hand and behaving coquettishly.

"Couples who haven’t seen each other for several years go on visits, what would we look like if we did that? Moreover, such a short time has passed, wouldn’t it be laughable?" Xia Yuan teased Lu Yun, "What, do they think you’re still a baby, unable to leave your parents?"

"I don’t care, let others say what they will, we should do what makes us happy. If we took everything people said seriously, wouldn’t we become ’big underpants’, having to catch whatever fart people let off?" Lu Yun glared.

"Alright, alright, you make sense. Little girl, you’ve become sharper with age," Xia Yuan said with a resigned smile.

Lu Yun smiled with her teeth showing, and then looked around, "Where are grandma and grandpa, and Lu Jinsheng? Isn’t it summer vacation, why don’t I see them?"

"It’s precisely because it’s summer vacation, they’ve gone to Yushu Village to find your brothers and sisters to play with. Your grandma called yesterday and was saying how a big group of people have gone there, and they’re having a wild time. They’ve already made plans to go back for the winter vacation and next summer too," Lu Aiguo said, laughing heartily.

"What’s wrong with that? It’s rare for their cousins to get together, so what if they bond during the holiday? You’ve come just in time, we were actually planning to head to Yushu Village tomorrow ourselves."

Xia Yuan said, feeling fortuitous, if her daughter and Shitou had come back a day later, they would have missed everyone.

"Weren’t they all supposed to come to the Capital City for the herbal bath?" Lu Yun felt regretful for a while, as she hadn’t seen them today, and she didn’t know how long it would be until the next meeting.

"The location was changed to Yushu Village some time ago. The area heading up the mountains has all been taken up by our family. You know that rail trolley you talked about? It’s been set up now, and we’ve built a big estate over the hot springs area, a perfect training base."

Lu Aiguo watched Shitou with a grin, raising an eyebrow, "What, I remember mentioning it to Shitou, didn’t he tell you?"
