When Lu Pingsheng was in a trance, Sister Xu Lan stood beside him and said politely, "Mr. Lu, your cake is ready."

Lu Pingsheng came back to his senses and smiled at her, "Please help me get to the car."

Sister Xu Lan called two more people over and together they placed ten beautifully packaged chestnut cakes on the back seat of his car.

Lu Pingsheng generously took out ten French francs and gave them to Sister Xu Lan, "Thank you very much."

Looking at the car going away, the two waiters beside Sister Xu Lan said happily:

"Whose young master is this? How could he be so generous?"

"Yes, it's just a few steps, and it's worth half a month's salary."

Sister Xu Lan listened to these words, her red face turned a little pale, and then she held up ten French coins and said:

"I'll ask Sister Hu Na to change it tonight and give it to you guys."

The other two people looked happy. It was understandable that they only tipped one person and did not share the tip.

What’s more, the amount is as large as ten French francs.

One of them smiled flatteringly at Sister Xu Lan:

"Sister Lan, do you know? Someone seems to be pursuing Sister Hu Na. He drives a luxury car and has bodyguards."

Sister Xu Lan frowned and said, "Doesn't Sister Hu Na have a fiancé?"

The person next to him said, "You are out of date. What's a fiancé? You can get divorced even if you get married!"

When Lu Pingsheng parked his car at the entrance of the alley, it was evening when the children were getting out of school.

He was still worrying about how to carry the cake home in one trip, when he saw Wei Ran and a few others chattering and about to go into the alley.

"Sister Ling."

He leaned his head out of the car window and shouted.

The classmates who were with Lingmei and the others saw Wei Weiling and the others running towards the car with envy in their eyes.

"Brother Lu, what can you do?" Wei Ling skipped over.

Lu Pingsheng got out of the car, opened the back door, pointed at the chestnut cake on the seat and said:

"Help Arati."

Wei Ran could already smell the sweet aroma of chestnut cake.

After attending school for a few months, the kids have become much more mature and polite.

Each of them carried a chestnut cake in each hand and followed Lu Pingsheng home.

Wei Ping is small, with a round face and short hair with bangs. She looks very cute in her student uniform of a blue top and black skirt.

She held a chestnut cake in her little hand, looked up with saliva in her mouth and asked Lu Pingsheng:

"Lu Daguo, why hasn't my Daguo come back yet?"

After she asked the question, Wei Li and the others turned to look at Lu Pingsheng.

Feeling the strong resentment, Lu Pingsheng hurriedly said:

"She came back last night, but it was too late and she didn't wake you up. She is now catching up on her sleep at my house. The chestnut cake was bought for your eldest brother."

When Wei Ling heard this, her eyes lit up and she said in surprise:

"Brother Lu, you didn't lie to me. Is Brother really back?"

Wei Ran and the others also looked at Lu Pingsheng expectantly.

He raised the things in his hand and teased them, "Otherwise I can't eat these things."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a car horn was heard behind him.

The adults and several children turned around and saw the car door open. Wu Ziyang got out of the car, then helped Li Xiaoya out of the car from behind and carried her horizontally.

Before Wei Ling and the others had a chance to greet Wu Ziyang, he had already walked quickly towards the alley, looking tired and nervous.

"Let's go and wake up your sleepyhead Daguo." Lu Pingsheng took Wei Ping's hand with a sarcastic smile on his face.

A few people cheered and walked towards the alley.

Grandma Cui was dozing off under the eaves of her house. She was awakened by their cheers and said with a smile:

"Sister Ling, what's up with you guys?"

Wei Ping announced softly, "Grandma, Ala Daguo is back!"

Wei Ling and Wei Ran nodded repeatedly, "Brother Lu said that my eldest brother came back at midnight yesterday."

Grandma Cui's eyes were full of surprise, "No wonder I vaguely heard the sound of a car last night."

Little Jiangsu next to him echoed, "In the past month, without the smiling little boy A Miao in the alley, I always feel like something is missing."

Little Nanjing asked Wei Ran, "Have you seen your elder brother?"

Wei Ran grinned foolishly and shook his head like a rattle, and little Nanjing looked a little disappointed.

"I'm too tired, Da Guo, and I'm still sleeping. He will definitely bring me here to eat wontons tomorrow morning."

Wei Ping is like a proud little peacock, showing off her big pot all the time.

In the past, the pork fat wontons that cost ten cents were something the Wei family kids could only think about during the Chinese New Year.

Nowadays, the Wei family has the aroma of braised meat every day, and with the rent and rickshaw rental added up, the family can easily eat lard wontons every morning.

The neighbors nearby envied the little girl's words and smiled kindly.

"Mr. Lu, you've been leaving early and coming back late these past few days, and you seem to have lost some weight."

Mrs. Dong, wearing a cheongsam, was leaning against the door of the barber shop. The setting sun shone on her, making her look more charming.

Lu Pingsheng raised his eyebrows and smiled frivolously, saying:

"Mrs. Dong looks radiant. It must be because Master Dong has taken good care of her."

Mr. Dong untied the leather apron tied around his waist and shook it, then smiled at Lu Pingsheng and said:

"I heard that Mr. Lu works at the Japanese Customs General Administration?"

With that word, all the laughter stopped, the whole alley became a little weird, and everyone's eyes fell on Lu Pingsheng with complicated expressions.

Lu Pingsheng seemed not to notice it, and laughed without changing his expression:

"Master Dong, you can't say that casually. I am the young master of the Lu family of Yuanqinzhai. Would I go to the General Administration of Customs to earn a few melons and two dates?"

Wei Ling also smiled and said:

"Master Dong, Brother Lu is either at home or attending banquets all day long. He is not in class. My eldest brother said that he is a rich and idle man."

Little Jiangsu's neighbors smiled and joked:

"But you're right. If Mr. Lu has this attitude towards work, I'm afraid he won't get a penny of salary."

Lu Pingsheng held Wei Ping's hand and looked at the plain-looking middle-aged man in front of him, "Where did Master Dong hear that?"

Master Dong smiled innocently and asked Mrs. Dong, "Did Miss Li mention this last time when she came to get her hair done?"

Everyone in the alley fell silent, their eyes fell on Mrs. Dong again, waiting for her answer.

Mrs. Dong, with her arms folded across her chest, lowered her eyes, and after a while she smiled sweetly at Master Dong:

"You are old, so you may not have heard clearly. I only heard Miss Li say that she met Mr. Lu and A Miao at the banquet."

Granny Cui said sternly, "Master Dong, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Your baseless words are scary."

Others echoed.

Master Dong rubbed his hands and laughed:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just lost my mind."

Lu Pingsheng's expression never changed from beginning to end, he was extremely calm.

"Grandma Cui, neighbors, we are going home first."

After he finished speaking, he said to Grandma Cui and Little Jiangsu, "Bring A Miao and the others over for breakfast tomorrow morning."

Grandma Cui agreed repeatedly, and Little Jiangsu even said, "Add two more wontons to each bowl tomorrow morning."

Suddenly, the alley became lively again in the evening.
