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

Chapter 170 So Many Steps

Lu Mingxi blinked her big eyes, unable to understand for a long time why Lu Yuanqing had changed his mind.

However, whatever the reason, I was still very happy to hear it.

The words "please take leave" almost slipped out of my mouth.

But then, the recent classes flashed through his mind, and Lu Mingxi immediately became listless again. "Third Uncle, you can go by yourselves!"

"I really want to go, but I'm so busy lately!"

Each time she said "very busy," she would emphasize it, even clenching her teeth more.

Lu Yuanqing asked, "Are you very busy with your studies? Can you handle it?"

"Yeah, I can handle it!" Lu Mingxi said, pouting.

She really wants to go to Guangdong Province too!

It looks like a lot of fun. Lu Yuanqing is sharing some rare experience!

But she really couldn't leave.

Seeing that she clearly couldn't go along for any other reason, Lu Yuanqing shrugged helplessly as well.

"If we miss this opportunity, there will be other opportunities! Don't worry! As long as we succeed in this first battle, there will be plenty of such opportunities." Lu Yuanqing comforted her.

This time they had to rely on someone else's invitation; next time they must get the invitation personally.

Having covered most of the details, Lu Mingxi returned to school with a large bag of food, while Lu Yuanqing led Lu Mingdong and the others back to the hotel.

Then they came into contact with a group of people who were spacing out in the hotel.

"No, why didn't you guys go out to play?" Lu Yuanqing asked curiously.

Just sitting in the hotel all day like that? You really have a knack for sitting still!

Zhao Zhongcai closed the newspaper in his hand and said, "You're back! How are Yuan Huan and the others doing at school?"

This habit of reading newspapers comes from Lu Yuanqing, who reads newspapers every day.

After parting ways with Lu Yuanqing and the others, they went straight back to the hotel. With nothing else to do, they found the time passing incredibly slowly for the first time. To kill time, Zhao Zhongcai asked a waiter for an expired newspaper.

"Brother Yuanqing, you're back!" Lu Ming greeted him somewhat dejectedly.

He really wanted to go out and see the world. It was a rare opportunity, and it would be a waste not to take advantage of it!

But the captain was afraid they would get lost, so he insisted on not letting them wander around and took them back to the hotel to sit there.

Lu Yuanqing also thought of something, shook his head and smiled, then grabbed Lu Mingnan who had just rushed back onto the bed and said, "It's almost lunchtime. Let's go out and get something to eat first, and then I'll take you around the city this afternoon."

Seeing that Zhao Zhongcai seemed about to say something, Lu Yuanqing quickly added, "Don't worry, just walk around, stroll the streets, and look at the city's buildings. It won't cost you anything."

"yeah!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's face lit up with a smile.

Lu Yuanqing shrugged. What's there to be happy about?

Yu'an City is built on a mountain, and you have to go up and down slopes to get anywhere. Just walking is tiring, okay?

However, Lu Yuanqing underestimated the spirit of these young people.

Well, he's young himself.

And Zhao Zhongcai was also smiling throughout the whole thing.

After climbing many more steps, Lu Yuanqing braced himself against the stone beside him, looking at the group of people chatting and laughing in front of him with a complicated expression.

At this moment, all sorts of unseen吐槽 (tu cao, meaning sarcastic or critical comments) comments floated across his forehead.

[Are your legs really not sore anymore? And your calves aren't shaking at all?]

Please, can we find a place to rest? We have to keep walking like this all afternoon.

I'm impressed, truly impressed. The spirit triumphs over the body!

【………】

Having walked too much, Lu Yuanqing didn't eat much for dinner and just wanted to get back to the hotel, a warm place where he could lie down.

……

The next day, at three in the morning.

Amidst a sky full of stars and a crescent moon, Lu Yuanqing yawned as he led a group of people toward the train station.

There are no buses running this early.

Fortunately, he was already used to the current habit of people going to the station early to wait for the train, so he had the foresight to find a hotel not far from the train station.

Take a look!

The train at five o'clock.

I have to get up at three o'clock to catch the bus.

Lu Yuanqing's morning grumpiness hadn't even had a chance to vent before a gust of cool wind blew it all away as he stepped outside.

Of course, the wind also woke people up.

The mornings in March are still a bit chilly.

They hunched their shoulders and hurried toward the station.

As expected of the city, even though it's still so early, there are already quite a few people at the station.

Lu Yuanqing first led his people to get the tickets, and then found a seat in the waiting area.

"We'll wait for the train here. It's still early, so we can rest for a bit. But we'll have to take turns resting because there are a lot of people and people around at the station. We must keep our valuables safe."

Zhao Zhongcai looked around excitedly, "You all rest! I'll watch the luggage."

After saying that, he leaned closer to Lu Yuanqing and whispered, "Don't worry, your aunt sewed the money into my pants, so it won't be stolen."

Moreover, all expenses for this trip were covered by Lu Yuanqing.

Even the production team's money was with Lu Yuanqing.

Lu Yuanqing's eyes widened; the way the money was hidden shocked him.

However, he always relied on the system to keep his money safe; otherwise, he didn't know if he would have put his money in such a place.

what!

Lu Yuanqing shook his head, trying to clear his mind of the images, otherwise his mind would become cluttered.

Lu Yuanqing told them to sit on the benches and rest for a while, but apart from him, everyone else was attracted by the train station and looked around without blinking.

Lu Yuanqing, who wanted to sleep, was now wide awake after being blown by the cool morning breeze.

Ignoring the others, Lu Yuanqing waved to Lu Mingdong and Gu Baoxia.

"How are you doing with the accounts I asked you to keep?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingdong and Gu Baoxia, as if being checked by a teacher, immediately pulled out their accounting notebooks and handed them to Lu Yuanqing.

Lu Yuanqing took them and looked at them one by one.

"Yes, I remember them all the same. It seems you haven't misremembered."

Gu Baoxia and Lu Mingdong exchanged a glance, one with a smile on her lips and the other with a smile in her eyes.

That's right, this time when he went out, Lu Yuanqing once again passed on the task of bookkeeping.

As I said before, the village accountant's role wasn't very specialized; he had to handle both bookkeeping and money management all by himself.

Therefore, Lu Yuanqing has always insisted on making every account clear and transparent.

He was too lazy to keep a diary of the expenses incurred during business trips, so he 'used his position for personal gain' and passed the task on to others.

Closing the notebook, Lu Yuanqing looked at the two people in front of him and said, "From now on, not only will you be responsible for bookkeeping, but you will also be responsible for managing the money. You two should discuss who will manage the money and who will keep the books."

"Just like before, we need to reconcile the accounts every night, and there can't be the slightest mistake!"
