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

Chapter 341 Inheritance

Lu Yuanqing really wouldn't care; if Cheng Xia didn't want to go to Shenzhen, he wouldn't force her.

He would support her even if she changed her mind.

The reason for locating the factory in Shenzhen is that he happens to own several plots of land there.

This time, it was Lu Yuanqing, Lu Yuanbo, and Cheng Xia who went there.

At that time, China was in the early stages of reform and opening up, and there was a strong support for entrepreneurship like theirs. As a result, Lu Yuanqing and his team were able to build their garment factory without any major difficulties.

Time flies.

Soon it was 1986, the only year Lu Yuanqing had been looking forward to.

In the past few days, their garment factory has been built very well, and Xie Qianyu has opened stores all over Kyoto and Yu'an.

Cheng Xia was so busy that she didn't have any other random thoughts.

That same year, the whole family returned to the village to celebrate the Spring Festival.

Cheng Jun has now taken over as the village's head.

That's right, it's Chengjun.

At first, Lu Yuanqing thought that Zhao Zhongcai would let Zhao Laoda take over.

But in the end, when Lu Yuanqing received the letter in Kyoto in 1985, Cheng Jun officially became the brigade leader of Shihua Village.

Lu Yuanqing also brought Cheng Xiaobao with him when he returned to the village for the Spring Festival.

This kid is quite promising. He went to junior high school in town, but through his own abilities, he got into the county's high school.

When they received this good news, Lu Yuanqing and Cheng Jun even discussed finding a way to bring Cheng Xiaobao to Kyoto to attend high school.

After all, Lu Yuanqing had already settled down in Kyoto and didn't need to worry about other issues.

But Cheng Xiaobao was unwilling to do so.

Many members of the Lu family have changed their lives through education.

Lu Yuanhuan and Lu Mingxi in the sixty years, and Lu Mingdong and several others in the seventy years.

With their example, the villagers of Shihua Village pay special attention to their children's education.

Over the years, people have been admitted to universities one after another. The entire commune is no longer the place where Lu Yuanhuan was once the only one who was particularly proud of being admitted to university.

The truth that knowledge changes destiny is something many of them firmly believe in.

When Lu Yuanhuan learned that Cheng Xiaobao was unwilling to go to Kyoto, he did consider sending him to high school in the city.

The education in the city is still better than that in the county, no matter what.

Ke Cheng Xiaobao resolutely refused to go.

At the time, Lu Yuanqing didn't understand at all and even wrote a letter home to scold him.

But in the end, after Cheng Xiaobao wrote a letter to Lu Yuanqing, Lu Yuanqing stopped pressuring him and let him make his own decision.

Cheng Xiaobao was a promising student. Even though he was studying in the county, he still got into Kyoto University and became Lu Mingdong's junior, even though the year he enrolled was the same year Lu Mingdong left school.

Compared to Cheng Xiaobao's remarkable achievements, Lu Mingbei and Lu Mingzhong, the siblings, were somewhat less impressive.

Of course, I still got into a good university and just officially became a college student last year.

This year was the year the Lu family gathered together the most.

Lu Yuanhuan and Lu Mingxi also returned to the village, as did Lu Yuanqing and the others.

Because Lu Mingnan and Liu Ling were in the village, they cleaned the house thoroughly after learning that Lu Yuanqing and the others were coming back for the New Year, so they could rest on their way back without having to worry about anything.

"You've done a lot of work packing all this." Lu Yuanqing patted Lu Mingnan on the shoulder, feeling deeply gratified.

There was also some joy.

Although Lu Mingnan would take Liu Ling to Kyoto for a period of time every year, Lu Yuanqing still missed them very much because they lived in the village most of the year.

Lu Mingnan smiled憨厚ly and said, "It's not tiring at all, Third Uncle. You've been sitting in the car for so long, aren't you going to take a rest?"

When Lu Yuanqing and the others came back to the village for the New Year, he was only happy and wished that everything would be arranged perfectly. He didn't feel tired at all!

Lu Yuanqing shook his head gently and said, "I'm not tired. I just want to talk to you."

“I see that the village is developing very well now. With Brother Chengjun around, the bamboo ware factory has also maintained good development. Come to Kyoto with me next year!”

Lu Yuanqing always felt that among all the children in the family, Lu Mingnan was the one who suffered the most.

At that time, Lu Mingnan was in the transition period between the old and new bamboo weaving craftsmen and could not easily leave the bamboo ware factory. Now, more people are willing to learn bamboo weaving. In addition, in recent years, the village has not been so xenophobic and is even willing to allow people from other production brigades to learn this craft.

The bamboo ware factory is no longer short of staff, so Lu Mingnan can leave now.

As Grandpa Xia Jinnian and the others grew older, it became inevitable that they would leave the bamboo ware factory because they could no longer weave.

At that time, when this group of old craftsmen no longer participated in the bamboo weaving crafts of the bamboo ware factory, their students, such as Lu Mingnan, had to take over.

That's how inheritance works: the old retire, and the young take over.

Despite this logic, Lu Yuanqing still felt that Lu Mingnan had been wronged.

His whole family lives in the big city, leaving him to stay in the village alone.

Lu Mingnan didn't feel wronged, especially since he understood the importance of staying behind better than anyone else.

He didn't regret it then, and he has even less regret now.

Lu Yuanqing has brought up this topic from time to time over the past few years.

Lu Mingnan, unaware of Lu Yuanqing's guilt, has come to understand it over the past few years.

"Third Uncle, I won't leave." Lu Mingnan shook his head.

“When my master taught me bamboo weaving, he told me that the craft needs to be passed down. When they can’t continue, we apprentices will have to take over.”

"At first I didn't quite understand, but I really love bamboo weaving. You know, I've been interested in this craft since I was a child, and I don't care much about other things."

"Third Uncle, you don't know, do you? This year I took on two apprentices. One is the eldest son of my cousin's family (Qin Yingfeng), and the other is a child from the production team next door. They are just like I was when I first fell in love with bamboo weaving. They are very talented and I like them very much."

"It was only after teaching them that I finally understood the true meaning of what my master had told me."

“Third Uncle, our craft needs to be passed down. If it is not passed down, it will disappear. I don’t want to see the bamboo weaving craft die out like this.”

"I will stay in the village, keep an eye on the bamboo weaving factory, keep teaching apprentices, and keep this craft going."

Lu Mingnan's words shocked Lu Yuanqing.

It's like watching your own child, who was so oblivious, quietly grow up without you even realizing it.

“You’ve really grown up,” Lu Yuanqing said.

Lu Mingnan smiled and said, "Third Uncle, I'm a father now, do you still treat me like a child?"

Lu Yuanqing chuckled, "It's true, I always felt like you guys were still very young!"

But no, time waits for no one.

Lu Mingnan has grown up and gained more life experience.

Lu Yuanqing is not young anymore; he's at the age where people would call him "grandpa" when he goes out.
