The days of retirement with the singing queen

Ren Youyou's gift was received by Yao Dongxia.

When the express arrived in the capital, Yao Dongxia was working and Ren Youyou also went to work for the summer. Yao Dongxia received a call from the courier and asked the courier to deliver the courier to her place of work.

Seeing the rectangular package, Yao Dongxia knew what was inside without even thinking. She is also very interested in the follow-up content of "The Three-Body Problem", but she also knows that this is Lu Anzhi's gift to Ren Youyou. So she didn't open it.

After returning home, Ren Youyou had also gone home. Yao Dongxia handed the package to Ren Youyou and said, "Here, the express delivery from Brother Lu." After she learned that Ren Youyou called Lu Anzhi "Brother Lu", she never mentioned "Uncle Lu" again. .

"Ah?! Is it a book?!"

Ren Youyou asked with a surprised expression. But after she got the express package, she was convinced of her guess. I couldn't wait to open the package, and sure enough I saw the black-covered book lying quietly in the package——

"Three-Body".

There is also a card lying on the book. Ren Youyou first picked up the card and looked at it. What was written on the card was——

long:

I didn’t have time to catch up with your graduation ceremony, so I’m giving you the book now. Feel sorry. Hope you enjoy this book.

Ren Youyou put down the card and faced Yao Dongxia, embarrassed to say it out loud, but thinking in her heart: I like it, how could I not like it?

The book written by Brother Lu is definitely worth liking.

And she has already read the previous chapters of this book. She liked the opening story alone.

She couldn't wait to pick up the book, but she wasn't willing to put the card down. After thinking for a while, she inserted the card into the page of the book, thinking that this card would be good as a bookmark.

Opening the title page, Ren Youyou saw the words Lu Anzhi left on the title page, as well as the signatures signed by Lu Anzhi, Zhang Suxin and Xianxian's family.

She looked at the signature on the title page and couldn't help but smile. The previous "Dragon", plus this "Three Body", now she has two books signed by Brother Lu, Sister Suxin and Xianxian.

"Aunt Yao, I'm going to read a book."

Ren Youyou told Yao Dongxia and couldn't wait to go back to the desk in the bedroom to sit down and read.

Yao Dongxia stopped her and said, "Let's finish the meal first. Don't forget to call Brother Lu to say thank you."

"okay."

Ren Youyou scratched her head in embarrassment and smiled coquettishly. She was so anxious to read that she forgot all these things.

Neither Yao Dongxia nor Ren Youyou made dinner. Yao Dongxia bought some food outside and poured it directly on the plate, which was ready-made dinner. The two of them sat down at the dining table, and Ren Youyou said, "I'm going to call Brother Lu right now. Aunt Yao, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me."

Her mobile phone was bought for her by Yao Dongxiaxin, firstly as a reward for her college entrance examination results, and secondly as a necessity for her upcoming college life.

The phone numbers of close people have been recorded on the phone, and the phone numbers of Lu Anzhi and Zhang Suxin are naturally among them.

Ren Youyou took out her mobile phone, found Lu Anzhi's number and dialed it. There was a ringing sound and the call was connected. Ren Youyou was a little nervous and asked: "Hey, is this Brother Lu?"

Lu Anzhi's voice came from the other end of the phone: "It's me. Is it Youyou?"

It seemed that Brother Lu heard her voice. Ren Youyou nodded, regardless of whether Lu Anzhi on the other end of the phone could hear it, and said, "It's me, Brother Lu. What are you doing?"

Lu Anzhi said: "I just came back from going to kindergarten with your sister Suxin and Xianxian. Xianxian will start going to kindergarten in the second half of the year, and we plan to choose a kindergarten for Xianxian."

Yao Dongxia heard Lu Anzhi's voice coming from Ren Youyou's mobile phone and asked, "Isn't it summer vacation now? Is the kindergarten still open?"

Seeing this, Ren Youyou simply changed the handset mode of her mobile phone to public mode.

On the other side of the phone, Zhang Suxin and Lu Anzhi were together and heard Yao Dongxia's question. Zhang Suxin replied: "Sister Dongxia is here too. Many kindergartens have people on duty during the summer vacation, and they are also responsible for accepting admissions. In addition, in public kindergartens, if we have the opportunity to meet the teachers on duty, we can also get to know the teachers on duty."

Not only that, they have also made a lot of guides online these days. Hua Ke played a big role in this. This website, which has only one breath left, is still breathing its last breath, but it still retains many precious posts. Among them are ranking posts about Haidu’s outstanding schools, ranging from kindergarten to elementary school to middle school to university.

Of course, this is not an official post - it is impossible for the official to publish such a post. But in terms of content, it has been recognized by many netizens living in Haidu. Lu Anzhi and Zhang Suxin read through a lot of comments and found some widely recognized posts, so they marked them as favorites for reference.

Yao Dongxia said: "That's it." Then he didn't say much and left the communication time to Ren Youyou.

Ren Youyou said: "Brother Lu, have you chosen a kindergarten for Xianxian?"

Lu Anzhi said: "Not yet. We have several goals, but we are still not sure about them. We plan to take another look before talking about them."

"Um."

Ren Youyou said something, ending the topic and getting back to the main topic, "Brother Lu, I received the book you sent. I didn't expect you to sign the title page. Thank you."

Lu Anzhi smiled and said, "Thank you for what? This is what I agreed with you. I hope you will like this book."

Ren Youyou said: "I will definitely like it. Brother Lu, I haven't told you yet. I applied to the Department of Physics at Capital University as a college candidate. After reading your book, I think physics is really cool."

Lu Anzhi said hurriedly: "Don't be influenced by novels randomly. My novels are science fiction. Do you understand science fiction? Fantasy still accounts for a large proportion. You should first consider what you like and what other subjects have potential in the future. future?"

Ren Youyou said: "Brother Lu, don't worry. I was a little influenced by your novel, but mainly because I like physics. Aunt Yao can testify."

She glanced at Yao Dongxia, who said, "Yes." Then she continued to be silent.

When Lu Anzhi heard what Ren Youyou said, Yao Dongxia was convinced again, and then he felt relieved. After hanging up the phone, Lu Anzhi couldn't help but sigh and said, "Does this Youyou plan to become a female physicist like Yang Dong?"

Zhang Suxin said: "Don't talk nonsense! Youyou is not Yang Dong!"

Lu Anzhi said with a smile: "What are you worried about? There are no Trisolarans in this world who deliberately block geophysics."

Zhang Suxin said: "Don't say that, it's unlucky."

Lu An looked Zhang Suxin up and down and said with a smile, "You look so much like your mother now."

"..."

Zhang Suxin glared at Lu An fiercely.

…

The capital, Yao Dongxia’s home.

Yao Dongxia and Ren Youyou finished dinner together. Then Ren Youyou helped Yao Dongxia clean up the dishes before returning to his bedroom to read.

Before she returned to the bedroom, she heard Yao Dongxia say to her: "Read it quickly and show me the book after you finish it."

Ren Youyou was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that Aunt Yao would be so interested in such an idle book. She had never seen it before. She smiled and said "Okay" and went back to the bedroom to read.

The plots and settings that shocked Zhang Suxin, Kuku, and the editors under the maple tree once again showed their power, and also shocked Ren Youyou.

Ren Youyou spent two nights reading this book page by page, so much so that she was even exhausted when she went to work during the day. This was the first time that she had no self-discipline, but after reading a book, she did not regret it at all.

Now she just thinks this book is so cool, and those cold and whimsical thoughts make her want to cut open Brother Lu's head to see what's inside.

Human computers, sophons, dehydrated life in the Trisolaran world, and civilizations from generation to generation are all ideas that make people marvel and admire them. If it were from other science fiction authors, Ren Youyou felt that one of these ideas would be enough to support a novel. But Lu Anzhi used these ideas in the same novel so extravagantly, forming a complete, huge and epic world view.

With such a brilliant imagination, what this novel can achieve is definitely not simple.

——But it was used by Brother Lu as his own gift.

She suddenly felt that the gift she received was too valuable.

Two days later, Ren Youyou sighed after reading the entire book, and then gave the novel to Yao Dongxia.

Yao Dongxia asked her: "How is it?"

Ren Youyou thought about it for a long time, but didn't know how to evaluate this work. In the end, she had to say: "It's amazing."

Yao Dongxia nodded and took the book from Ren Youyou's hand. She spent longer reading than Ren Youyou. After reading it, she understood why Ren Youyou said it was very powerful.

"It's really amazing..."

Yao Dongxia also sighed softly and murmured to himself.

After reading the beginning, Yao Dongxia felt that this book was good. Although the beginning was a bit obscure, after reading it, it was a good work. But she was afraid that Lu An would not be able to continue and would not be able to maintain the previous level. But now it seems that it is indeed too much to worry about.

But there should be a sequel to this novel, right? If Sophon only came here to seal off geophysics and conduct an expedition to the Trisolaran world, then this ending would be too desperate.

She had a guess, but she didn't ask Lu Anzhi.

But Ren Youyou sent a message to Lu Anzhi in Qiuqiu and asked: Brother Lu, is there another sequel to "The Three-Body Problem"?

…

When Lu Anzhi saw this reply in Haidu, he had already visited the kindergarten with Zhang Suxin and Xianxian for several days, and he had a general goal in mind.

He replied to Ren Youyou on Qiuqiu: Yes, there are two more to come.

Then we discussed the final choice of kindergarten with Zhang Suxin and Ren Youyou Xianxian.

"Xianxian, which kindergarten do you like?"

Zhang Suxin asked about Xianxian first.

Xianxian said: "That afternoon."

When Lu Anzhi and Zhang Suxin heard Xianxian's answer, they looked at each other and said to themselves: "Sure enough."

Although the little one is small, she has a preference for the overall sense of every place. She can make a clear choice about which one she likes and which one she doesn't like. And after knowing that she can only go to one place, and that these places currently have no deep connection with her, her choice becomes much clearer, unlike when she is asked whether she likes her father or her mother. Same, the answer is "I like them all".

Her choice is even clearer than that of adults. Whichever one she likes is the one she chooses.

Lu Anzhi and Zhang Suxin were also quite satisfied with the choice she made.

It was a kindergarten relatively far from home, but overall, it felt better than other places, both in terms of environment and other aspects. Among the posts on Huoke that talk about the kindergarten in Haidu, there are quite a few mentions of that kindergarten.

The couple has gotten to know each other a lot online and offline, so relatively speaking, they prefer that kindergarten. That afternoon, they went there to check it out.

After Xianxian fell asleep that night, the couple lay down on each other's sides with Xianxian and talked about the matter again.

Zhang Suxin sighed: "It's nice there, but it's a bit far."

Lu Anzhi said: "If you think it's good, then go for it. At worst, we can just buy another house nearby."

Zhang Suxin said: "It's just going to kindergarten, and you won't learn much. It's not necessary, right?"

Lu Anzhidao: "If we didn't have so much money, there would be no need for such luxury. But now that we have such a foundation and can provide a better environment for Xianxian, why is it not necessary? And the most important question is, this There aren’t any good kindergartens nearby, are there?”

Zhang Suxin had to nod. If there was a good kindergarten near their home, that would be fine, but they had looked around in the past few days and found that the kindergartens near their home were indeed not as good as those elsewhere.

Zhang Suxin felt a little unbearable when she had a good choice and asked Xianxian to go to a place she didn't like very much.

Zhang Suxin said: "But... do we really want to buy a house?"

Lu Anzhi said: "The house is still an asset there and will not be lost. If you buy it now, it may increase in value. And speaking of it, the house here is a bit small. When Xianxian's brother or sister is born in the future, it will be better to live here." It’s a bit crowded.”

Zhang Suxin said: "But I have already developed feelings here..."

Lu Anzhi said: "I didn't say I was going to sell this place. We can continue to pay Aunt Gu and let Aunt Gu take care of it as we did before. If you want to come back to live in the future, you can come back."

Zhang Suxin thought about it seriously, nodded and said, "Well, okay, I'll listen to you."

So the matter was settled.

Aunt Gu came over the next day. Lu Anzhi and Zhang Suxin stayed with Aunt Gu to have a meal together and were not in a hurry to do anything else. On the third day, the two took Xianxian to look at the houses near the kindergarten, and on the fourth day, they directly bought a second-hand house with fine decoration. It's not a villa like Xijing, but the house is about 300 square meters, which is big enough.

What's more important is that this house is well decorated and fully furnished, and someone specially bought it for sale. It has been inspected by Lu Anzhi and the quality is also acceptable. There is no need to re-decorate or dry it.

After paying the full payment for the house, the family of three moved in directly. I felt good after staying for two days. After finishing these things, they contacted Song Xiaoqin and planned to get together with Song Xiaoqin, whom they had not seen for a long time.

After not seeing each other for such a long time, Xianxian also missed her sister.

After making the call, Song Xiaoqin already knew that they were back, but also knew that they had been busy looking for a kindergarten for Xianxian, so they did not come to get together. Today I learned that this family of three had bought another house, and I was a little surprised.

"You are really rich! You can buy a house as soon as you want, and you even buy such a big one!"

On this day, Song Xiaoqin was invited to Lu Anzhi and Zhang Suxin's new house and said so.

Zhang Suxin smiled and said: "It's not like you can't afford it. You also made a lot of money from "Learning to Meow"."

The ring tones for the first half of the year have been distributed. In the past six months, Lu Anzhi's other songs have had ups and downs, but "Learning to Meow" is still the best. That is to say, it has been a little weak since July, and it has a tendency to be driven out by other works.

Song Xiaoqin has another several hundred million in her account, so she can buy a house without even frowning.

Song Xiaoqin glanced at Zhang Suxin and was about to say something when she suddenly received a call. She ran to answer the phone, and when she came back she said speechlessly: "Okay, now, Lu Anzhi, I have an idea of ​​the mission you asked me to do - I found the store near Zhuyuan Community that you asked me to find. As a result, you no longer live there. Do you still want this store?"

Lu Anzhi thought for a while and said, "Yes. I'll open a store, let Sister Wang run back and forth between the two stores to take care of her, be the store manager, and recruit a few people as clerks. I can't go to Sanwei Bookstore, But sometimes I still want to sit in my own bookstore, and from now on I can only choose Baicao Garden."

Song Xiaoqin complained: "There is a bookstore called Baicao Garden. I really don't know what you think. So do you want to open another store here? What do you plan to call it if you open another store here?"

Lu Anzhi smiled and said, "How about two jujube trees?"

Zhang Suxin and Song Xiaoqin both rolled their eyes at Lu Anzhi speechlessly, and said in unison: "Are your names getting more and more outrageous?"

While they were talking, Xianxian was always watching the excitement. When he heard Zhang Suxin and Song Xiaoqin's words, the little guy suddenly burst out laughing, narrowed his eyes into two slits, and said, "It's so funny!"

Her catchphrase is here again.

Lu Anzhi patted his slender little head and said, "Just kidding. I discovered that every time I open a bookstore, I have to move. I opened Sanwei Bookstore last year, but it didn't take long for me to move to Zhuzhou. Yuan Community. This time I saw a store near Zhuyuan Community, and then moved here. If I don’t open another store here, this family will have to move somewhere else before they can even live in Rehu.”

Zhang Suxin rolled her eyes at Lu An and said, "You only talked about me before, but you turned out to be so superstitious. It's just two coincidences, what's the matter."

Song Xiaoqin warmed to Zhang Suxin curiously: "What did she say you were superstitious about?"

So Lu Anzhi told Song Xiaoqin about Ren Youyou and what Lu Anzhi had said before comparing Ren Youyou to Yang Dong in "The Three-Body Problem".

After hearing this, Song Xiaoqin's focus was not on the topic just now, but on "The Three-Body Problem". She looked at Lu Anzhi with wide eyes and said, "Good guy, you have a new book?! And it's science fiction?!"

Lu Anzhi said: "Is there anything surprising about this?"

Song Xiaoqin thought for a moment and said, "That's right. There's really nothing surprising about you."

When I visited the bookstore, the idea was decided. After that, Song Xiaoqin went with Lu Anzhi and Zhang Suxin to see the kindergarten that the couple had selected for Xianxian, and then returned to Zhuyuan Community. After looking at the stores that Song Xiaoqin liked, she confirmed that she had no objections and bought the entire store in full. Come down.

Lu Anzhi is now very wealthy and has no problem spreading money everywhere. He scattered the money here, and soon after that Gu Ruiyong called, saying that the preparations were about to begin, and asked Lu Anzhi if he wanted to invest funds. So Lu Anzhi spent another large amount of money.

Gu Ruiyong received a text message prompting a large transfer in his bank card, and directly told Lu Anzhi on the phone: "Brother Lu, you are the happiest investor I have ever seen! You will be my father from now on!"

"ah?!"

Lu Anzhi was suddenly stunned by Gu Ruiyong.

Gu Ruiyong said: "Financial father, don't think too much."

Lu Anzhi laughed and said: "The financial owner's father is also a father. Brother Gu, how about we two have separate opinions from now on? I call you Brother Gu, you call me..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Gu Ruiyong's angry "Rolling around".

Gu Ruiyong said: "Not to mention these, there are many. Let me tell you one more thing - I am filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", do you and your family of three want to make a guest appearance?"

Lu Anzhi said: "We don't know how to act, so why make a cameo?"

Gu Ruiyong said: "Don't worry, you don't know how to act, don't you still have me? I believe that my level is that I can definitely train you. And I won't give you a role with a lot of scenes, let Xianxian play a child Huazheng and the like, as for you, I'll think about any suitable roles. Wouldn't it be nice for a family of three to have fun acting on TV?"

Lu Anzhi said: "No, I don't want to be trained by you."

Gu Ruiyong: "..."

Lu Anzhi thought for a while and suddenly said: "But it would still be interesting if we could get into the camera. Do you think this will work, Brother Gu? Don't assign specific roles to us, and don't let Xianxian play some childhood beauty." That’s right. Let’s play the role of a passerby, the kind who just passes by the protagonist.”

He thought of Mr. Stan Lee from Marvel and Brother Pu Zi who passed by at the airport in "Home Alone", and suddenly became a little interested.

Gu Ruiyong said: "Okay, it's up to you. This way I can save some effort." But his tone was a bit disappointed.

After ending the call with Gu Ruiyong, Lu Anzhi called Wang Ping and told Wang Ping about the matter. Wang Ping was shocked. She didn't expect that after one summer vacation, she would be promoted to store manager inexplicably.

But she was also happy with it. In her opinion, if Lu Anzhi can open a branch, it means that the boss's business is naturally booming, and as a store manager, his salary will naturally be higher. When the time comes, there will be clerks watching over the two bookstores, and she will coordinate and coordinate overall. She will be able to have more freedom in her own time, so that she can take care of her family and grandson.
