Chapter 801: Seven hundred and ninety-nine, communication.
After leaving the Guard School, Luo Zheng and Qin Che parted ways. Luo Zheng returned to his residence in Jiangcheng first.
This was a small western-style house located in the suburbs. When Luo Shu bought it, she purchased two similar houses, one of which she gave to Luo Zheng so he could stay there during his holidays. However, Luo Zheng rarely had the chance to stay there.
Pushing the door open, he walked into the yard and saw that it was very spacious. In one corner of the yard, there were over a dozen potted plants which remained lush and green despite the winter. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Approaching the house, he used his key to unlock the door and discovered that the interior was spotlessly clean, with not a speck of dust on either tables and chairs or on the floor.
"Could it be someone has been cleaning all along?" Luo Zheng wondered in amazement. It was the same when he last visited.
Closing the door behind him, Luo Zheng slipped into his slippers and entered the living room. After standing there for a while, he suddenly remembered that he left some food in the refrigerator the last time he was there. Having been away for so long, those items would have surely gone bad.
He went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and Luo Zheng immediately showed a surprised expression. The food he had left behind last time was cleared out, and now there were only fresh vegetables and fruits inside, as well as a few bottles of drinks.
A pleased smile appeared on Luo Zheng’s face, "These must have been placed here by my sister. She must have known I was coming."
Stepping into the living room, he picked up the phone and called Luo Shu.
"Sister, it’s Luo Zheng." He said happily once the call was connected.
"Have you started your holiday? Do you have any plans?" Luo Shu asked with a smile.
"I’m thinking of visiting Aunt Li and the others first, then coming back to spend the New Year with you all. Is that okay?" Luo Zheng asked tentatively, unsure if she would agree to spend the New Year together.
"Sure!" Luo Shu agreed.
"Then it’s settled." Luo Zheng replied cheerfully.
"Xiao Zheng, when you go to visit Aunt Li and the others, you should take a plane to save time. Tomorrow I’ll have the driver pick you up and also to help me deliver some things to Aunt Li and Uncle Li."
"Great!" Luo Zheng nodded happily. Ever since his sister came to Jiangcheng, their relationship had gotten much closer.
"In the drawer of your bedside table, I’ve left some money for you. Don’t be too thrifty normally, spend it when you need to. Call me if it’s not enough."
"I got it, sister." Luo Zheng felt a little emotional, but at the same time very happy.
After chatting for a while with Luo Shu, Luo Zheng reluctantly hung up the phone. Thinking back to the content of their conversation, his face was filled with happiness. With such a good start, his relationship with his sister was bound to get better and better.
Thinking about his visit to Aunt Li and Uncle Li tomorrow, Luo Zheng picked up the phone again to call them.
"Aunt Li, it’s Xiao Zheng," he said as soon as he heard Aunt Li’s voice.
"Xiao Zheng, how have you been lately?" Aunt Li became excited upon hearing that it was Luo Zheng.
Hearing the conversation, Uncle Li, who had been listening to the radio, quickly turned off the already quiet radio and came over to listen to their conversation. They had always thought of Xiao Zheng as their own child and often mentioned him.
"Aunt Li, I will come to see you tomorrow. Are you and Uncle Li keeping well?" Luo Zheng asked. Due to the strict rules of the Guard School, it had been a long time since he had spoken with Aunt Li and Uncle Li.
"Good! Ever since we took the medicine your sister gave us, we’ve been feeling better day by day. Now we can go out for a day and not feel tired. How’s your sister doing? Her belly should be almost seven months along now, right?" Aunt Li couldn’t stop smiling upon hearing Luo Zheng planned to visit them.
"It’s almost seven months now. My sister said it’s going to be twins." Thinking that in just over two months, he was going to be an uncle, Luo Zheng felt very excited.
"That’s wonderful! Luo Shu is truly blessed," Aunt Li said with a content smile.
Uncle Li took the phone from Aunt Li, "Xiao Zheng, will you be spending the New Year with us this time?" If Xiao Zheng were to join them for the New Year, it would be much more lively.
"I’ve already made arrangements with my sister. I’ll be spending this year with her and my brother-in-law," Luo Zheng said, knowing full well that Uncle Li and Aunt Li would be disappointed. He wished he could split himself in two, to spend the New Year with his sister on one hand, and with Aunt Li and Uncle Li on the other.
"That’s great. You siblings should become closer," Uncle Li said with a smile. Although he felt a bit disappointed, he also understood the relationship between Luo Zheng and Luo Shu. Seeing them so close now made him happy as well.
"Ask Xiao Zheng what time he will arrive tomorrow," Aunt Li said on the side. Life at the Guard School must be hard; she thought she should nourish him well during his visit.
"Your Aunt Li is asking what time you’ll get here tomorrow," Uncle Li asked with a smile.
Luo Zheng thought for a moment, "I should be able to arrive by noon," he said. The flight from Jiangcheng to Jinchen would take no more than an hour and a half at most.
"Great! We’ll have the food ready and wait for you at home," Uncle Li turned to Aunt Li, "Do you have anything else you want to tell Xiao Zheng?"
Aunt Li took the phone and after cautioning Luo Zheng to be careful on the road, reminding him that the weather was cold and he should dress warmly, she reluctantly hung up. However, thinking of seeing him tomorrow lifted her spirits again.
She hurriedly discussed with Uncle Li what to buy for the meals, pondering over which dishes Luo Zheng enjoyed the most.
Ling Tianyu advanced into the top one hundred ranks very smoothly through competition.
The instructor approached Ling Tianyu, "Tianyu, there’s a phone call for you in the office." Tianyu was the eldest grandson of the Ling Family in Jiangcheng, which held a significant role in the city.
Over the years, with the progressive opening up of reforms, families that had once remained hidden were now emerging, much like bamboo shoots after a rain. Before people could react, they had already established their status on this land in Jiangcheng.
"Thank you, instructor!" Tianyu expressed his gratitude and headed towards the office. It was certainly a call from his mother; he had originally promised to come home for the New Year, but now he suddenly canceled the plan, which surely puzzled his family.
Arriving at the office, Tianyu picked up the phone, "This is Tianyu."
"Tianyu, it’s Mom. Why aren’t you coming back for the New Year?" Mother Ling asked.
A century ago, the Ling Family ran a security transport business, and during one of their dispatches, they encountered bandits. Fortunately, they were saved by an old monk, who was a highly cultivated Buddhist monk. That monk took a liking to the ancestor of the Ling Family and passed down an Ancient Martial Arts Cultivation Technique.
Thanks to that cultivation technique, the Ling Family became an Ancient Martial Family. However, the Ling Family always kept a low profile, so not many knew about their Ancient Martial Family status.
