Chapter 172 There's Something Wrong with His Brain
After two days and one night, the train finally arrived at the station.
Lu Yuanqing dragged his limp legs, carrying Lu Mingnan, who was also tired from sitting, and led the listless Lu Mingdong, urging them to get off the car with him.
With the Canton Fair about to begin, the Guangzhou Railway Station is extremely crowded; if you're not careful, you'll be swept away by the flow of people.
These country bumpkins were both exhausted from the long car ride and overwhelmed by the sights they had seen.
There were too many people, and it was late at night. Fortunately, they were on the train and didn't care what others said about getting off to eat. Lu Yuanqing insisted on buying a few meals so that at least he wouldn't be hungry while he was tired and confused about the situation!
"Yuanqing! Where should we go?" Zhao Zhongcai swayed the large cloth bag on his shoulder.
Lu Yuanqing put Lu Mingnan down from his arms and led them to a slightly more spacious area in the station. Seeing the different looks in their eyes, he helplessly spread his hands and said, "Uncle Zhao, it seems we'll have to make do at the train station tonight."
Finding a place to stay at this time of year is already difficult.
Moreover, this is the Canton Fair. Before the 80s, there were no decent accommodations available; there weren't enough rooms.
"Oh, it's nothing," Zhao Zhongcai said nonchalantly.
For him, there's no such thing as settling or not; he'd just find a clean spot and sleep anywhere.
Zhao Zhongcai stated his position and then looked at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming immediately said that he had no objection.
Gu Baoxia readily agreed, "That's fine too. It's too late to do anything convenient. Let's just sleep at the train station for the night and talk about it tomorrow."
Since that was the case, the group walked around the station and, unable to find any empty benches, found a corner that hadn't been occupied yet.
Lu Mingnan immediately ran over and took his position.
"Third Uncle, over here!"
Seeing that he had perked up, Lu Yuanqing smiled.
They weren't the only ones who thought of spending the night at the train station. Throughout the station, on benches and in corners, there were plenty of people with their eyes closed, sleeping and with no intention of leaving.
The group of them put down their bags and sat down on cushions on a relatively clean spot.
Lu Yuanqing sat there too. He was exhausted, both physically and mentally, and had no energy to care about anything else. He looked at the wall, which was fairly clean, and relaxed his body, leaning against it.
then……
"No, you two are sticking to your third uncle way too much! Don't let them fight!"
"Hahaha! Xiao Dong, do you want to come over here?"
"Xiao Nan can come here too."
Lu Yuanqing stared blankly at his bent legs, one of which was being held by a guy who wanted to place his small package between his legs. Clearly, both of them wanted to put their packages right in the middle of his legs.
For this purpose, you push me, and I push you.
Lu Yuanqing remained silent, ignoring Zhao Zhongcai and the others' teasing, and simply watched quietly.
Being older and having eaten for a few more years will still give you the upper hand.
Lu Mingdong didn't want to make a move, but since Lu Mingnan was competing with him, he naturally wouldn't give in.
With a sudden effort, Lu Mingnan was pushed into Gu Baoxia's arms.
Then he calmly put down his package, sat down expressionlessly, and leaned back skillfully into Lu Yuanqing's arms.
The brothers' 'competition for favor' certainly provided a spectacle for those around them.
Gu Baoxia instinctively hugged the person who had fallen into her arms. Before she could even say anything to comfort him, the little guy tilted his head back slightly and started yelling as if he were shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Ah!!! Ugh!"
Gu Baoxia glanced at him and saw Lu Yuanqing skillfully stuff a milk candy into Lu Mingnan's mouth.
The wailing stopped abruptly.
Zhao Zhongcai: "..."
Lu Ming: "..."
Gu Baoxia: "..."
Lu Yuanqing blinked innocently, nothing more than practice makes perfect!
Lu Mingdong rolled his eyes.
Hmph, you're still too green to compete with him!
Lu Mingnan smacked his lips as he ate his milk candy, his urge to cry vanishing, but he still gave Lu Yuanqing a pitiful look in his eyes, "Third Uncle, I want you to hug me too!"
Lu Yuanqing spread his hands and said, "Your brother snatched it; Uncle San can't carry both of them at once."
That was the truth. Lu Mingnan pouted, still feeling wronged, but he didn't say anything more.
But his clenched little fists spoke of his unwillingness to give up, waiting for him to eat more and grow a little more...
Lu Mingdong rolled his eyes at him. What, couldn't he eat more and grow a little bigger?
My third uncle once said, "Your brother will always be your brother!"
Gu Baoxia gently straightened Lu Mingnan, who was leaning softly against her, and turned her head to say, "You actually watched those two push each other just now."
Lu Yuanqing blinked innocently, "What's wrong?"
This question puzzled not only Gu Baoxia, but also Zhao Zhongcai and the others.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhongcai spoke first, "What if a fight breaks out? Xiao Nan almost cried just now."
“Yes! It’s not easy for Xiao Nan to travel so far at such a young age,” Lu Ming added.
Actually, if Lu Mingdong hadn't been there, what they really wanted to say was that Lu Mingdong, as the older brother, didn't know how to give in, and Lu Yuanqing, as an elder, didn't know how to intervene. If a fight broke out, wouldn't Lu Mingnan be the one who suffered, since he's so young?
Lu Yuanqing wasn't an idiot; he understood what he was hearing. But even though he understood, he still felt wronged. What had he done wrong?
So Lu Yuanqing said innocently, "They wanted to fight." Blame him? How unfair!
Gu Baoxia glared, "Xiao Nan is still so young."
Lu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow. "He's so young and he already knows how to fight. He clearly can't win but he still fights. He has to accept the consequences of losing."
These kids in my family aren't some kind of angels; fighting is a common occurrence!
What if he says something like, "Don't bully the younger one, big brother"? Wouldn't that be unfair to the older one, and give the younger one even more confidence?
He has never interfered with this.
If you want to fight, then fight. You'll have to accept the consequences of winning or losing; you can't complain.
Didn't you see Lu Mingnan cry and wail, but a piece of candy solved the problem?
Even when he was extremely aggrieved, he didn't take advantage of his young age to try to change Lu Yuanqing's mind and give him Lu Mingdong's position.
Gu Baoxia/Zhao Zhongcai/Lu Ming: "..." Something feels off.
Lu Yuanqing rolled his eyes and said, "I know you all think that the older one should give way to the younger one. Besides, I didn't intervene when Xiao Dong pushed Xiao Nan just now, nor did I reprimand Xiao Dong for bullying his younger brother. You find that unbelievable."
Upon hearing this, the three nodded vigorously.
Lu Mingdong's dizzy head was instantly cleared by these words.
To the three people in front of him, his icy voice boomed: "Are you out of your mind?!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanqing was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth!
The little brat has a bad temper, but he's good to his family. However, if you really provoke him, he can become extremely sarcastic.
Lu Ming was taken aback when he was scolded, then laughed, "Who are you scolding, little guy!"
Not satisfied with just talking, he even reached out and patted his little face.
