Chapter 6 Zhu Huiqing: I heard university life is pretty good

When Lu Chi woke up again, it was already past eight o'clock that night. He hadn't slept enough and had a splitting headache: "You guys didn't go down the mountain? Ugh, Lanlan, open me a bottle, room temperature."

Zhu Shulan, who was studying a paper plate shaped like a cake base, immediately ran out the door to get a beer upon hearing this: "Oh!"

Zhu Huiqing raised her hand to suppress him: "Stop drinking, eat some fruit, I cooked some porridge."

"Okay..." Lu Chi pressed his temples, groggily picked up his phone and scrolled through it: "Holy crap! Duo Shao? Ba Wan? How come he has so many followers?"

Zhu Shulan's lips curled up: "Because Sister Yan Yan is following you!"

"That scary?" Lu Chi put down his phone, ate a mouthful of the fancy sweet porridge made with ingredients like white fungus and lotus seeds, and only then did he feel his mind gradually clear: "Bring it here, I'll open it for you..."

Zhu Shulan responded, stuck out her tongue at her incompetent sister, and handed him the complicated paper package with a grin: "It has a strange smell, it smells stinky but also sweet, what is it?"

"Where did you find this? It looks like that goat cheese thing, shipped from overseas. I ate it once, but I thought it was too strong, so I forgot where I put it..."

"I found it in the outer storage room, isn't that amazing!"

"Amazing! Amazing!"

After opening several layers of packaging, inside was a dry, round biscuit, coated with powder, somewhat white, and a little soft in the middle. When you cut into it, the cheese inside gushed out.

Zhu Huiqing took the triangular piece of food Lu Chi handed her, staring at Zhu Shulan: "Eat less, you'll get a stomachache. You haven't stopped talking all afternoon!"

"oh!"

Lu Chi didn't care, and casually picked up a bundle of firewood, throwing it into the fireplace one by one.

It's not that I have any strange aesthetic preferences...

The main reason he couldn't sleep peacefully was that he couldn't hear or smell the campfire burning. Let's just say it was a tiny bit of a debuff from being served by Class B.

"Qingqing, why are you in such a hurry to go to high school?" Lu Chi finished adding firewood and then curled up back on the sofa to lie down. "Look how good Lanlan is. Eating, sleeping, and PE class are her biggest tasks every day. High school means boarding school, which is tiring. With your small frame, what if you don't grow taller because of all that?"

Zhu Huiqing pouted, "I've almost finished reviewing the high school course material..."

Lu Chizhi clicked his tongue and said, "Hiss, at your age, wanting to go to the gifted youth program is probably a bit too late. I'll go ask around the compound; that old man who owes our family money should have some connections!"

"No!" Zhu Huiqing interrupted hastily, glancing at him. "I'm not leaving. I... I just want to go to university as soon as possible. Hmm, I've heard university life is pretty good..."

"Uh, it's salty?"

"Um..."

"Our whole family can't go to Yanda University! You're wasting your brain!" Lu Chi scratched his head. "If you're worried about that old lady, well, there's always me. I can't go out anyway!"

Zhu Huiqing shook her head again: "No, I don't want to go outside!"

"You've developed a reading addiction at such a young age... then you..." Lu Chi carefully chose his words, "Wait! You're not planning to take the exam this year, are you... you've only been here for half a year..."

"Um."

"ε=(´ο｀*)))"

Some people's brains are brains, while others' brains are just organs. Hehe, take the exam with me, hehe, then what about all the years of studying I've done? Does that count as me studying?

Zhu Huiqing put down her book: "Are you hungry? The food's been kept warm..."

"Eat, eat..." Lu Chi slumped back on the sofa, and seeing Zhu Huiqing go into the kitchen, he urged Zhu Shulan, "Open a bottle of wine, open a bottle of wine, let's have a drink to relax!"

"Okay!"

"She's not very bright to begin with, and you still take her drinking!"

"Ahem... well... it's the New Year... since we're already here..." Lu Chi was actually a little afraid of this young lady's cold attitude, so he eagerly went over and helped serve the dishes: "Want to have something together?"

Zhu Huiqing stood there, holding dishes in both hands, her eyes as calm as an autumn moon over a still lake.

"Uh... I don't want to drink... then I won't drink..."

Just one drink.

"Alright!"

The 1.5-liter Coke bottle, its lid peeled off, was crammed with a few ginseng roots, some deer antlers, and a bunch of other random things like goji berries. It was sloppy and unpretentious. Zhu Shulan chugdredged up three six-ounce cups of liquor, then picked up her own cup and said, "Dad, Happy Chinese New Year! May you rise to greater heights!"

Zhu Huiqing's eyebrows twitched: "Both hands!!"

"Oh, oh..." Zhu Shulan shrank her neck: "Happy Chinese New Year, Dad!"

"Happy Chinese New Year, Godfather!"

"Cheers to happiness!"

"Cheers~"

After a sip of wine, a blush spread across Zhu Shulan's face. She grimaced as she looked at her full wine glass, then at Lu Chi's empty glass, before chugging it full and burying her head in her rice.

Zhu Huiqing pretended not to see it, and kept it to herself, remaining silent while eating and sleeping.

"Eat, eat!" Lu Chi said while serving food to the two of them, "It's only because you two came that I'm eating leftovers from today onwards, and there will be leftovers for tomorrow..."

Zhu Huiqing said, "No way, they won't come to pay their respects until the third day of the Lunar New Year, will they?"

"Hmm," Lu Chi said, "Luckily, I exchanged the cash on the day of the holiday, otherwise I wouldn't have a moment's peace tomorrow, and I'd have to make another trip. Sigh, there are still more than a dozen bundles of mountain produce buried in the mountains, I wonder how many I'll get left..."

"How many days?"

"If I bring those three, two days and one night should be enough, otherwise by the time I get out, school might have already started."

"Hmm, so you're not going down the mountain this year? They're all waiting for you..."

"Let's get it done as soon as possible, or we can just have them eat this meal up the mountain. I heard there's a village banquet chef near the development zone in the university town who's pretty good. I happen to have some spare greenhouse frames here, so we can gather a few people up, set it up, and cook a whole pot of food!"

"Okay!" Zhu Shulan finally paused her rice-eating for a moment, looked up and said, "Isn't there one already set up? It's not cold, let's use that!"

Zhu Huiqing stared at her expressionlessly, her dark eyes, calm as a deep pool, filled with oppressive force: "That's a vegetable shed with overheated soup, it's full of steam. Do you know how many people down the mountain have chronic leg pain? Are you trying to kill them?"

Zhu Shulan cowered like a quail: "Oh..."

"Why are you always yelling at her during the New Year?" Lu Chi picked up his cup and tapped it on the table. "Come on, smile, cheers."

"laugh..."

Zhu Shulan laughed, making the dog look furious, while Zhu Huiqing laughed out of anger.

After finishing his meal, Lu Chi felt sleepy again. He waved his hand and said, "There are fireworks and firecrackers in the outermost warehouse. Remember to wear gloves, a hat, and a scarf when you go out. Be careful and don't stay out too late. I can't stay up any longer. I'm going to sleep now."

There are very few nights to sleep in the mountains, so Lu Chi really needed to rest for several days.

Beyond the fireplace was Lu Chi's bedroom. In reality, the fireplace was just a hole, with a convex notch cut into the wall. The bedroom had no door. Lu Chi kept his eyes closed the whole time, floating like a lost ghost as he plunged headfirst into the bed, his two slippers flying far away with a thud.
