Chapter 104 She wasn't too ruthless, was she?
Song Li returned to her room feeling utterly ashamed.
She wasn't too ruthless!
Such a terrifying thing happened on our very first meeting.
How is she supposed to face people now?
It was lunchtime.
The restaurant is constantly changing its diners.
Second Uncle and Xiaoxue are in the shop.
Aunt Chen saved the food for Second Uncle and Xiaoxue.
Because it's almost Chinese New Year, Shuanzi and Xiaoyong have to go out even though it's snowing every day.
At noon, only Xiao Nan, Xiao Zhou, Song Li, Lu's mother, Lu Sheng, Uncle Lu, and two aunts ate together.
Lu Cheng didn't come back at noon.
Eight people sat at one table.
Song Li could only eat with her head down.
I am utterly ashamed to face Lu Sheng.
But Lu's mother looked delighted: "Xiao Li! This is our husband, Lu Sheng. You've met him before when you came back!"
Song Li looked down at her bowl: "Yes, I've seen it before."
Lu's mother was surprised by Song Li's performance today. What happened?
Unsatisfactory grades?
"Xiao Li, what's wrong? Did you not do well on your grades today?"
Xiao Zhou said, "If Sister Li's grades aren't good, she's always first in the grade. If she's not good enough, then I might as well not live."
Lu's mother glared at him: "How dare you?"
When Lu Sheng heard that Song Li had actually managed to get first place in the grade, he realized that it wasn't just a matter of hard work.
He had studied and knew that in addition to hard work, one also needed talent to succeed in studying.
These kinds of people make up very few people.
When I came back, I heard from the second brother that the Lu family's current business was all thanks to Song Li.
Lu Cheng didn't mention that he and Song Li were a reincarnated person and a time traveler, respectively.
This is a secret between the two of them.
Therefore, Lu Sheng was very surprised by Song Lide's abilities.
An eighteen-year-old girl with such knowledge and foresight.
She is indeed as intelligent as her mother described.
However, their first meeting was a little unusual.
Song Li thought for a moment.
She didn't do it on purpose; it's his fault for not giving his name.
If he had said just one more word, I wouldn't have mistaken him for a thief.
So it's his problem.
Why make yourself feel awkward?
After thinking it through.
Song Li looked up.
As a result, he directly met Lu Sheng's gaze.
"Auntie, we already said hello when we came back."
Lu's mother looked at Lu Sheng: "Xiao Li has already greeted you, so I don't need to introduce him, right?"
"I did give them a heads-up, but it was a rather harsh one," Lu Sheng said cryptically.
Song Li: "......."
Lu's mother: What else happened in between that she didn't know about?
But neither of them had anything more to say.
Lu's mother didn't intend to ask.
Everyone enjoyed their meal together.
Fortunately, Lu Cheng's room was big.
Otherwise, Lu Sheng wouldn't know where to stay when he comes back.
However, it's definitely not feasible for three people to share one bed.
Lu Cheng had another bed sent back.
Lu Sheng sleeps in a bed all by himself.
Because Lu Sheng is more robust.
Both Lu Cheng and Xiao Zhou are very thin.
Therefore, Lu Cheng and Xiao Zhou don't feel crowded when they sleep in the same bed.
Song Li made a phone call to Grandpa Yu.
He first talked about his grades.
Then I told him to remember to wear more clothes because it's cold.
She didn't tell him that she was going to the capital.
Give him a surprise.
Because we now have a telephone at home.
Song Li calls Grandpa Yu every week.
Suddenly I realized that it's nice to have a family member who cares about me.
The 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Both stores are closed.
The Chen family took Xiaoxue back to their hometown.
Shuanzi's aunt and Shuanzi felt that they didn't know anyone in the countryside, so they decided to spend the New Year in the city.
After all, there were many things in the yard, and he had to guard them to prevent them from being stolen.
On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, Lu Cheng settled wages with all the workers.
Song Li reminded him.
Call all the workers together.
Then, in front of all the workers, he gave the wages to the foreman.
The foreman has to pay the workers on the spot.
This prevents the foreman from taking the money and then disappearing.
After all, there have been far too many similar incidents in later generations.
The project is still small, and Lu Cheng is personally managing all the money.
Later on...
We also need to hire an accountant and a cashier.
That would be more convenient.
It's impossible for the boss to personally supervise everything.
The 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.
The whole family took the train to the capital.
Although it was Chinese New Year, the trains weren't that congested.
Because there are no people going out to work right now.
The key point is that Lu Sheng used his military officer's ID to buy sleeper berths for his family, which couldn't be better.
In the dead of winter, sitting for 30 hours is simply killing me.
There were eight people in the group.
Four sleeper berths.
Lu Zhou shared a cubicle with his parents.
Song Li and Xiao Nan were on the upper bunk.
Lu Sheng and Lu Cheng were below.
Because they had come to the capital, the Xu family already knew about it.
They arrived late on the 26th.
The people who came to pick them up were Xiao Li and a man.
Song Li did not recognize the man.
Xiao Li then introduced, "This is Minister Xu's son, Xu Changfeng."
Then Xu Changfeng introduced, "This is your aunt Xu Yunrong, this is your uncle Lu Anguo, and this is his younger brother."
Xu Changfeng looked at the three elders and said, "Hello, Aunt and Uncle, hello, Uncle Lu."
Xiao Li didn't recognize Lu Sheng.
Lu's mother quickly introduced, "This is my eldest son, Lu Sheng. He wasn't home when you came last time."
Xu Changfeng: "Hello, cousin."
Lu Sheng had heard from his mother that this cousin was a year older than him.
"Hello, cousin." Lu Sheng.
Lu Cheng: "Hey cousin, thanks for staying up so late."
Xiao Zhou and Xiao Nan: "Hello, cousin."
Xu Changfeng was surprised to see that his aunt had four children, all of whom were quite good-looking.
He was also happy to see that his aunt's family was happy.
After all, over the years, both grandparents and father have missed their aunt very much.
Then, looking at Song Li, he asked, "And who is this?"
Lu's mother: "This is my goddaughter, Song Li."
Song Li also greeted him politely, "Hello, Cousin Xu."
Xu Changfeng: "Hello."
Lu's mother doesn't know how to introduce Song Li now.
I feel like there's something going on between her and the second brother, but it's not very obvious.
The second son is obvious, while Song Li is less obvious.
"It's cold outside, I'll go back now!"
Mother Lu: "Okay."
Xiao Li and Xu Changfeng were driving two cars.
Eight people is just right, four on each side.
The group then drove towards the compound.
It's around 8 PM now.
It was pitch black outside, and you couldn't see anything at all.
We finally arrived at the Xu family's residence.
They first entered what kind of residential area.
There are guards at the entrance.
When the car stopped.
What comes into view is a detached three-story building.
Song Li's first thought was, "Will this group of people be able to stay here?"
She should go back to Grandpa Yu's place later!
Warm light from inside the house shone into the yard.
The people inside came out when they heard the noise.
Song Li and the others got out of the car.
Minister Xu came out with his parents.
Madam Xu looked at her daughter and said, "Xiao Rong, you're finally back."
Lu's mother looked at her own mother and said, "Mom, I'm back."
Old Master Xu looked at his daughter and said, "Come in first, it's cold outside."
The Lu family didn't bring much luggage with them when they came out.
I figured I'd buy new clothes anyway for the New Year, so I might as well just come here and buy them then.
So there were eight people in the group.
Song Li and Xiao Nan shared a single duffel bag.
The three Lu brothers shared a bag.
Lu's mother and the other two were in one bag.
