Rebirth in the 60s: A Path to Counterattack-Chapter 314. Buy a car, get a travel plan

Originally, Lianshan and Shuzhen were quite reluctant and worried about Lian En going to Beijing to study.

Now, hearing that Feng Ju would also be going and would be a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts, most of their worries disappeared instantly.

It’s all because Feng Ju has always treated Lian En like a mentor and a father, not any less than they as parents.

With his care, what is there left to worry about?

Being able to continue receiving guidance from his mentor, Lian En was naturally very happy.

But casually accepting such an expensive gift from Grandpa Yang, is it really okay?

A little villa in Beijing, anyone with common sense would know it’s definitely not cheap.

In response, Feng Ju simply waved his hand as if it was nothing.

Isn’t it just a house?

What’s the big deal? He could paint a picture as Mr. Wu Tong, and any buyer would easily offer a house in exchange!

Since his apprentice felt uneasy about accepting the house, as a mentor, he decided to make amends. Casually selecting two paintings that Old Yang had coveted for a long time as a return gift, he handed the deed over to Lian En: "Here, now this house was exchanged by your mentor’s paintings and is gifted to you, so there’s nothing to worry about now, right?"

"No worries, no worries, between a mentor and his student there’s no need for formality. What’s the mentor’s is mine!" Lian En beamed as he accepted it, speaking with great confidence.

His parents had said that his mentor had no children or family and had devoted almost his entire life to ensuring his apprentice succeeded.

Emotionally and rationally, taking care of and being filial to his mentor in his later years was his unshakable responsibility.

So in Lian En’s heart, his mentor was the elder second only to his parents, someone he must honor for the rest of his life.

Definitely part of the family, with no need for formalities.

Apparently, Feng Ju greatly appreciated his apprentice not treating him as an outsider.

Hearing Lian En’s matter-of-fact tone, he immediately beamed: "Yes, yes, what the mentor has is yours, no need for formality between us! Whatever you want, just tell your mentor openly. I have plenty to spare!

Unlike your parents, who have so many concerns.

Your mentor, on the other hand, has none of these worries..."

Lian En nodded helplessly, not understanding why his mentor had to compete with his father for the most important place in his heart.

Occasionally belittling and tarnishing his father’s image was also quite amusing.

The gratitude for a mentor and the love for a parent, they aren’t even comparable!

After attending the lively graduation parties for himself, cousin Jiandang, cousin Ning An, and cousin Jiajia, the start of school was approaching closer and closer.

No matter how reluctant Lian En was, he had to wave goodbye to his family and hometown and head north to study.

Whenever he thought about only coming home twice a year and having to miss his eldest son for three or four months, Lianshan was utterly unhappy inside.

To make it easier to visit his son at any time, he even spent a lot of money to buy a red Santana car.

This move led the villagers and Good Taste to also purchase six of the same model cars.

Otherwise, driving that car home would have caused a sensation.

Fifteen thousand dollars, fifteen thousand!

At a time when the average salary wasn’t high, and a monthly salary of a hundred yuan was considered decent.

Spending fifteen thousand to buy a Santana just to visit his son at university, this was undoubtedly a grand gesture.

No wonder Chenchen, Xinzhi, and Xinyue muttered that Dad definitely loved the eldest brother the most.

Forget everything else, even the phone at home was installed at a high cost just to make contacting him easier.

Now, this car was also bought for the purpose of visiting and sending him off.

The five little ones pouted together, asking their father Lianshan: Would all five of them together weigh even a third as much as their eldest brother in his heart?

Originally, they thought their strict father would have to seriously self-reflect, apologize, and offer gifts for forgiveness, but Lianshan confidently laughed: "You see, throughout history, the eldest child has always carried the most and the greatest expectations from their parents.

Being favored is only natural.

Do you want to surpass your elder brother?

It’s not impossible, but you need to work hard!

Being a few years late often means being late for a lifetime. Unless you become more successful, filial, and considerate than your elder brother!"

Chenchen and the others all widened their eyes: Surpass the eldest brother?

Not to mention the achievements, the awards from various drawing competitions, and the simultaneous bonuses, an absolute win-win streak.

Even in terms of filial piety and thoughtfulness, even if they were bundled together, they might not do better than the elder brother, right?

Instead of getting the benefits they sought, they ended up getting a lesson. The siblings couldn’t be more frustrated.

They just wanted to use the opportunity of sending their elder brother to catch a glimpse of the Republic’s capital, Beijing, you know?

Their bad dad was too petty!

Lianshan chuckled mischievously: "Oh, so in your hearts, I’m a stingy image! Well, to think I was considering whether to start early, so you naughty little ones could come along. While we send your elder brother to college, we could also take a good look at the great mountains and rivers of our country.

Now it seems, there’s no need at all!

Heh, this stingy dad will give up that thought and just go with your mom to send him off..."

"No, Dad, shared joy is double joy, right? For something as enjoyable as travel, it’s more fun with everyone together!" Xinzhi grinned flatteringly, being especially sensible as she gave Dad a back massage.

"Yes, yes, Big Sister is right! We’ve been looking forward to a chance for a family outing for ages. As the super great dad that big brother often talks about, you won’t let us down, will you?" Xinyue smiled broadly, handing over a cup of tea with utmost attentiveness.

Lian Xi and Xinqing, taking advantage of their young age, clung to his legs on both sides, unleashing their skills in playing cute.

Hmm, achieving their goal was most important, any dignity could temporarily be set aside.

Sharing this mindset, Chenchen quickly grinned foolishly: "Dad, I was wrong! Really wrong, I just let something slip in a moment of disappointment. I promise it won’t happen again, please be the bigger person and let bygones be bygones, okay?"

Lian En, who originally hadn’t planned to favor anyone, nodded generously, smoothly stepping down from the stage his sons and daughters had set up.

He didn’t honestly confess to them that he hadn’t planned on leaving the little ones behind from the beginning.

Plans for the trip had already been made in advance.

He’d just been holding back from revealing it, wanting to see how the little ones would persuade him.

Who would think that instead of the expected cuteness and flattery, they’d try a little threat?

Good thing he had years of experience in outsmarting these kids, otherwise this old ginger really might have been beaten by the young ginger!
