You need to raise your pet using a system [Era]

Chapter 206 Idea

Wu Cisheng and his group settled down in Shihua Village in a daze.

At the Lu family home, Lu Yuanqing waited all afternoon, until it was almost dark, before finally seeing Lu Yuanbo return home with a big smile on his face!

When Lu Yuanqing saw his beaming face, he couldn't help but click his tongue a few times.

"Brother, you're off work?" Lu Yuanbo stepped into the house and saw them.

Lu Yuanqing hummed in agreement, then said, "I didn't see you at work today!"

Lu Mingdong sat quietly to the side, watching the show.

Lu Yuanbo immediately became nervous, "Uh, I went to the commune today, today, uh, I had something to do today!"

"Oh!" Lu Yuanqing nodded, pretending not to care.

Lu Yuanbo immediately relaxed.

"So you went on a date at the commune?"

Lu Yuanbo suddenly looked up and met Lu Yuanqing's inquisitive smile. Now, what was there that he didn't understand?

"You know!" Lu Yuanbo's face flushed red quickly, but he calmed down again.

But Lu Yuanqing, with his sharp eyes, could clearly see it—unbelievable! This kid can be shy sometimes.

Where is that domineering attitude of hers when she held the bowl and poured wild vegetable water into his mouth?

"I know! It's pretty obvious! My brother has been paying extra attention to his appearance lately, how could I, as his older brother, not understand!" Lu Yuanqing said jokingly!

Lu Mingdong calmly rolled his eyes.

He was the one who discovered it! If he hadn't brought it up, Uncle Si could have kept it a secret for much longer!

Lu Yuanbo blushed all the way to his neck, "Brother..."

Seeing his embarrassment, Lu Yuanqing stopped teasing him and asked seriously, "Where is the other person from? What do they do at home..."

This is probably what it feels like to be a parent!

When faced with such a situation, Lu Yuanqing couldn't help but subconsciously start checking household registrations.

Lu Yuanbo hurriedly interrupted, "Brother, we haven't even talked about it yet! It's still far from over!"

That shy look made Lu Yuanqing cringe.

"What do you mean, 'not even a stroke of the character' yet? I think you're practically bursting with the last stroke!" Lu Yuanqing just couldn't understand why these enlightened young men and women were so shy.

Why not just be more generous?

If you keep going like this, you'll miss all the opportunities!

"Tell us! How did you meet? Tell us, and we'll give you some advice!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingdong, who had been quietly watching the show, nodded quickly, "Yes, Fourth Uncle, we'll give you some ideas, and we guarantee you'll be able to win over your future Fourth Aunt in no time."

Lu Yuanbo was speechless!

Actually, what he really wanted to say was that he felt it was going to work out and he really didn't need any help!

Is he really that ineffective?

Do you need your family to help you with advice when pursuing a partner?

But faced with two people who outwardly wanted to help but actually wanted to hear gossip, Lu Yuanbo sighed inwardly and finally said, "Her name is Fang Qingqing, and she's from town."

"And then?" Lu Yuanqing hurriedly asked.

Lu Yuanbo asked in confusion, "And then what?"

Lu Yuanqing: "How many people are in your family?"

"My parents, two older brothers, a younger brother, and her."

What does your family do?

"do not know!"

Does that girl have feelings for you?

"I'd say that's somewhat true!"

"What do their families think of you? Do they approve of you being together? Do they object?"

"How would I know? Brother, I've never even met anyone from her family!"

"How come you don't know anything?" Lu Yuanqing glared at him.

Lu Yuanbo: "..."

"She hasn't even agreed to be with me yet! It's perfectly normal not to know these things!"

Lu Yuanqing was exasperated: "You're hopeless! You've been chasing me for so long and you still haven't caught up!"

Lu Yuanbo: "..." Completely innocent. She promised to help him come up with ideas, so why is she complaining about him!

"elder brother……"

Lu Yuanqing shook his head helplessly; it was his older brother who had to step in.

"When pursuing a girl, you must remember one principle!"

"What!" Lu Yuanbo looked at him expectantly.

Lu Yuanqing raised his index finger and said decisively, "That means they're willing to spend money!"

"what?"

Lu Yuanqing said confidently, "Girls are very emotional. Compared to some practical issues, they value your sincerity more!"

Lu Yuanbo tentatively asked, "I promise her I'll treat her well from now on and listen to everything she says..."

Lu Yuanqing glanced at him disdainfully, "I asked you to show sincerity, what did you show? Did you just make empty promises?"

"Making empty promises?"

"That's right!" Lu Yuanqing glared at him, annoyed.

"A painted cake can't fill your stomach; it's only good for looking at!" Lu Mingdong cleverly explained.

Lu Yuanbo nodded knowingly, but disagreed, "I didn't make empty promises! I only told the truth, and I always keep my word!"

Lu Yuanqing clicked his tongue and asked, "I remember you once said that it would be great if you could eat sweet potatoes at every meal. If you have enough sweet potatoes at home for every meal, would you eat them?"

"There are other foods, why eat sweet potatoes..." Lu Yuanbo couldn't finish his sentence.

Yes!

In the past, his family was poor, sometimes eating a full meal and sometimes going hungry. His uncle gave them some sweet potatoes. Lu Yuanbo had already gone hungry for two meals. When he ate the sweet potatoes, he looked at how his family couldn't find any food and dreamed that he could eat sweet potatoes every meal.

But now we can eat our fill at every meal at home. We have sweet potatoes, rice, and even meat every few days!

Only a fool would eat sweet potatoes every day at this point.

and so……

Lu Yuanqing smiled and said, "So you understand now? Time changes a lot of things. The sweet potatoes that you used to wish you could eat every meal are now only taken out to eat when we cook porridge."

"Can you really guarantee that the promises you're making now will be remembered and kept for every single moment of the next few decades?"

Lu Yuanbo wanted to say that he could do it.

But the example of the sweet potato clearly tells him that sometimes what is said is just casual talk, and he is not a gentleman who can remember everything forever.

Lu Yuanqing: "Isn't that clear now? Yuanbo, I don't know if the girl you're meeting now will be your future wife, but what I want to say is, if you really like someone, you have to show your true feelings and sincerity, something that outsiders can see at a glance."

"Don't take a promise that's just said casually. People change, and they forget what they said."

True sincerity lies in things that are tangible and visible.

Since guarantees are invisible, they are naturally invalid.

Lu Yuanqing just wanted to tell Lu Yuanbo that if you like someone, you should treat them sincerely, instead of just talking the talk but not walking the walk.

Yes! I need to tell Lu Yuanhuan and the others these things too, so they won't be fooled by sweet words when he's not paying attention.

"Brother, do you want me to give her a gift?" Lu Yuanbo asked.

Can giving gifts truly express one's sincerity?

Then he'll just deliver it!

Lu Yuanqing: "..." I feel inexplicably tired!
