Autistic genius, a flourishing era of scientific research

Chapter 24 Do you want to eat watermelon?

"Grandpa, Grandpa!" Lu Qingzhou shouted, but Mr. Lu didn't respond. He walked over, turned off the radio, and shouted again.

Old Lu angrily picked up his fan and hit his grandson, then turned on the radio again and said:

"Don't be naughty, I'm hearing the key points here! If you have anything, go find your aunt. Xiao Chen is here too. Go to the kitchen and take a look."

"He's not here. He must have gone out with Auntie. I don't know where he went to visit." Lu Qingzhou went to the kitchen and looked at other rooms in the house. The doors were all open.

"Grandma is taking a nap."

"Grandpa, this is Jiang Yan's brother and his friend. They came to our house to talk about Jiang Yan."

Mr. Lu was listening intently, not paying attention to what he said. He nodded and said perfunctorily, "I know, I know."

Lu Qingzhou was speechless and planned to go forward and turn off the radio.

Jiang Xiaowen stopped him and said, "Let the old man listen. I find it quite interesting too. Let's listen for a while too."

When Jiang Xiaowen saw Mr. Lu, he felt that the matter was half settled.

why?

Because Mr. Lu was once the director of a machinery factory where Liu Feng worked. He is retired now, but this old man is very powerful.

When they first came to Liufeng City, Mr. Lu had not yet retired. At that time, due to some tasks, they checked the situation of the machinery factory.

I didn’t expect it to be the Lu family.

Si Cizhan handed the watermelon to Lu Qingzhou, and Jiang Xiaowen also handed the fish in his hand to Lu Qingzhou.

Lu Qingzhou put them all in the refrigerator and said, "Okay, sit down for a while. I'll get you some water."

After Mr. Lu finished listening to this, he remembered what his grandson said and turned around to look for people. He saw the three of them sitting in a row. Two handsome young men were holding a glass of water, Lu Qingzhou was fanning himself with a fan, and he also brought an electric fan over to blow air.

Seeing that the two men sitting next to Lu Qingzhou did not look like ordinary people, Mr. Lu stood up, put on his reading glasses and said:

"Are these two your classmates?"

Lu Qingzhou: "...No, this is Jiang Yan's brother Jiang Xiaowen, and this is Jiang Yan's brother's friend Si Cizhan."

So his grandfather didn't listen to what he just said?

Jiang Xiaowen quickly stood up and greeted him, "Hello, Grandpa Lu. We came here to discuss Yanyan's situation. Yanyan said you guys agreed to let her stay at your house for a while after she's discharged from the hospital?"

"This is too much trouble for you. I feel bad just listening to it. Yanyan is young, not even 18 years old yet. She will turn 18 at the end of December this year. Her household registration is in Liufeng City, and she will take the college entrance examination next year. Children taking the college entrance examination are troublesome. My second mother is doing business in Canghai City and can't take care of it. Luckily, I am in the army here."

"So I'm the one who takes care of everything for my sister. These past couple of days, I've been looking for a place for Yanyan to live. I'm thinking of renting a house close to school so she can go to school here when school starts. With all the work I've done, I just hope she can get into university smoothly."

"I've been looking all day and haven't found one. The rental houses all seem unreliable. Yanyan is a girl, and I'm really worried. I can only come out to pick her up when the army is on leave. This afternoon, I was just about to discuss with Yanyan and ask her where she wanted to live, but I turned around and heard her and Lu Qinghuan saying that they wanted to stay at your house."

"Yanyan is ignorant. Two little kids are just talking nonsense. How can they just live in your house so casually? Wouldn't that cause trouble? My brother and I came here specifically to inquire about the situation. If it's possible, we'll discuss the rent and food expenses with you, Grandpa Lu."

"Grandpa Lu, do you think it's feasible? If not, Grandpa Lu, please recommend us some good houses for rent. I think you are really good, Grandpa Lu. I guarantee that the house you choose will be feasible."

Jiang Xiaowen spoke with a gentle smile, and his words were pleasant to listen to. In the end, he even praised Mr. Lu.

After he finished speaking, Si Cizhan added:

"Jiang Yan's academic performance is good. She's usually very quiet and doesn't talk much. She's also well-behaved and doesn't make trouble."

Lu Qingzhou listened from the side, stood up and opened the refrigerator and said, "Here are the watermelons and fish they brought. Grandpa, do you want some watermelon? I'll cut one for you."

It clearly shows his grandfather that he did not come empty-handed, but brought gifts.

He really wants to make this happen.

Mr. Lu glanced at Lu Qingzhou and felt that he deserved a beating:

"What the hell did you do, you bastard? Are you going to keep that watermelon as a treasure or pass it down to your son? Cut it up for the two of them and give half to each of them. I think these two guys can eat it."

"She's just a little girl, she's here for the night, what's there to discuss? She also has to pay for the rent and food, how much can a child of her age eat? It's useless to talk about that, it's just a bunch of nonsense, it makes me sick of hearing it."

"Go talk to me, old woman! Someone's coming from Jiang Yan's house! Hurry up and get up! They want to talk to you about money!"

Mr. Lu said this and called for help.

It was too late for Lu Qingzhou to stop him.

He directly woke up Mrs. Lu who was taking a nap.

After getting up, Mrs. Lu asked around and finally found out what was going on.

"That girl doesn't need any rent to live here. We're not in the rental business. She's a good girl, well-behaved and pretty. Even I like her. Huanhuan has said it so many times. It's thanks to that girl. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to escape and wouldn't have been rescued in time by the military comrades."

"Huanhuan is so stubborn. She ran away from home because of her bad temper. Now she keeps talking about Jiang Yanyan's third sister all day long. She's even more active in her studies. If Yanyan moves in, I'll have another granddaughter. I don't have to pay for food or rent! So many people in the Lu family are working outside, and they can't even support a little girl. What's going on?"

"Let me tell you, Jiang Yan is Huanhuan's savior, a little hero. You guys are just vulgar." Old Lu lit a cigarette, took a puff, and pointed at Jiang Xiaowen and Si Cizhan with the pipe.

After saying this, Mrs. Lu stared at Si Cizhan for a long time, then said, "Why do you look a little familiar to me, handsome boy?"

Lu Qingzhou said speechlessly, "Grandma, this is the soldier who saved Huanhuan, Jiang Yan and the others. Didn't you see him at the door when you went to the hospital that day?"

"Oh! So you're Jiang Yan's brother? Then you two siblings are the ones who saved Huanhuan. So we can't take your money. Isn't that making us ungrateful?!"

Si Cizhan quickly explained: "I'm not Jiang Yan's brother, this is it, he and I are colleagues."

Mrs. Lu: "That's about the same."

"Qingzhou, quickly cut some watermelon for them. It's too hot out here. When will it cool down?"

"The watermelons they bought were just put into the water for a while and are not cold yet." Lu Qingzhou said as he walked towards the kitchen.

Jiang Xiaowen pulled Si Cizhan outside to discuss things, but before they could come to an agreement, Zhang Qianlin and Xie Mianmian's mother Chen Yangting came back from visiting.

The two were walking up the stairs arm in arm, still chatting and laughing.

Zhang Qianlin talked about Lu Qingzhou's schooling, and Chen Yangting talked about Xie Mianmian's schooling, and they were both very happy.

Seeing the two people discussing something quietly at the door of her house, Zhang Qianlin was stunned at first, then she recognized Si Cizhan and quickly pulled Chen Yangting forward:

"Hey, isn't this the soldier who saved Huanhuan? What's wrong? Didn't you receive the silk banner? Should we send you another one? Or is there something else you haven't finished?"

"So it was you who saved Mianmian, Huanhuan and the others. Thank you, comrade, thank you!"

"Who is this comrade?" Zhang Qianlin looked at Jiang Xiaowen.
