Chapter 416 Extra Meal
On a sunny day, Dr. Lu and his family returned from the town to the familiar and friendly Lujia Village.
As soon as you step into the village, the strong rural atmosphere hits you, making you feel warm.
After taking a short rest, Doctor Lu could not wait to go to the village head's house. He knocked on the door and soon a voice responded from inside: "I'm coming!"
The person who opened the door was the village head. When he saw Doctor Lu coming, a warm smile immediately appeared on his face and he hurriedly welcomed him into the house.
After the two of them sat down as host and guest, Doctor Lu spoke first, "Uncle Lizheng, I came here to discuss with you the arrangements for tomorrow's banquet."
Upon hearing this, the village head smiled and said, "Haha, Jinghe, I was just thinking of looking for you!"
Doctor Lu went on to say, "Our family plans to hold a three-day banquet tomorrow. Firstly, it is to celebrate Yu'er's success in high school, and secondly, we want to thank the villagers for their care and support for our Lu family."
The head of the village nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of joy, and said, "Tianyu is a good student, but Haoming also passed the imperial examination! That's great. Our village has two juren at once, and we should really make good use of it."
Hearing the head of the village mention Haoming, Doctor Lu couldn't help but smile with relief and said, "I didn't expect that Haoming was so hardworking and actually passed the imperial examination. In this case, Haoming's family doesn't need to do it, and can just follow ours."
However, the head of the village waved his hand and said seriously, "No, Jinghe, listen to me first. Your family doesn't have to pay for this banquet. Just deduct it from the public funds. The villagers all know that your Lu family has done a lot of good things for the village over the years, allowing everyone to live the life they have today. Therefore, everyone unanimously agreed to use public funds to handle this matter."
Doctor Lu quickly shook his head and refused, "Uncle Lizheng, we appreciate your kindness, but our Lu family really doesn't need this little money. Moreover, we have already booked the ingredients in advance, and everything is arranged properly. Therefore, this matter still has to be done according to my wishes. We must make the banquet grand and lively, and some big shots will come to show their support!"
Seeing Dr. Lu's firm attitude, the village head thought for a moment and said, "In this case, let's leave the manpower assistance to the villagers. I'm sure everyone will do their best."
Doctor Lu had a gentle smile on his face and responded softly, "Then I'll have to trouble you, fellow villagers!" His tone was sincere and kind, which made people feel good about him.
Then, Doctor Lu said, "No problem. Leave the cooking to me. I plan to invite the chef from Ruyi Restaurant. Everyone knows their cooking skills, and they will surely make everyone happy and satisfied."
The head of the village nodded and agreed: "Well, everything is up to your arrangement. I believe you can handle it properly."
Doctor Lu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back and make some preparations to make sure everything goes well." Then he turned and left.
The village head looked at Doctor Lu's receding back and said, "Okay, go ahead and get busy."
At this time, the village head's wife came up to the village head and whispered, "Boss, since Jinghe's case is not paid for by the public, we must explain it clearly to the villagers to avoid unnecessary trouble."
The village head nodded slightly and replied seriously, "I know this. I will talk to the villagers about it later."
When Doctor Lu dragged his slightly tired body slowly into the house, he happened to see Lu Tingyan standing together with Lu Tianyu and several other brothers, each holding a variety of tools in their hands.
Doctor Lu asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Yan'er, looking at the posture you are in, what are you planning to do?"
Lu Tingyan turned around and replied with an excited smile on her face, "Dad, we have discussed and decided to go up the mountain to hunt some prey so that we can have an extra meal tomorrow!"
Doctor Lu nodded slightly and agreed: "Well, that's a good idea. But you have to be careful and pay attention to your own safety."
At this time, Lu Tianxuan on the side interrupted with a smile and said, "Dad, don't worry. My sister and my brothers are so powerful in martial arts. What can go wrong?"
Doctor Lu glared at him and said unhappily, "You little brat, even if they are highly skilled in martial arts, the situation in the forest is complicated and unpredictable after all. It's always better to be more careful. I'm just in case."
Seeing this, Lu Tingyan hurried out to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, Dad, don't bother with your brother. We will definitely be more careful, and you just stay at home and wait for us to return with a full load." As she said that, she waved goodbye to Doctor Lu.
Doctor Lu responded with a smile: "Okay, okay, then you guys go quickly, the sooner you go, the sooner you come back." After that, he turned and walked into the house, silently praying in his heart that the children's journey would be safe and smooth.
When the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky orange and red, Lu Tingyan and Lu Tianyu and his brothers finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.
At this time, several villagers happened to be walking down the mountain slowly, carrying bamboo baskets and hoes, with tired faces.
One of the older villagers stopped when he saw Lu Tingyan and the others and asked curiously, "Tianyu, you kids, it's almost dark, why are you running up the mountain now?"
Lu Tianyu smiled and replied: "Uncle, we want to go up the mountain to hunt some game!"
Hearing this, the villagers couldn't help but frown and worriedly advised: "Oh, it's getting dark soon, it's not safe in the mountains, let's go home quickly!"
However, Lu Tingyan, who was standing aside, didn't care. She raised her chin and said confidently, "Uncle, don't worry. We have all practiced martial arts and are not afraid of those dangerous things."
Seeing Lu Tingyan's determination, the villagers didn't say anything more and just said, "Okay, but you must be careful and pay attention to safety!"
Lu Tingyan nodded obediently and replied, "Yeah, thank you uncle for the reminder, we know it!" After that, she walked towards the mountain without hesitation, and her figure soon disappeared in the dense forest.
