Chronicle of the 70s

Mr. Lu was visiting the Li Family’s courtyard house for the first time. He did not rush to speak, first taking a brief look around before chatting with Li Huai Ren, "Not bad, you know how to enjoy life!"

Mr. Li waved his hands with a smile and said, "I’m old, can’t live in those houses with stairs anymore, this flat layout is comfortable."

Mr. Lu smiled and nodded, "Indeed, when I retire, I’ll find a courtyard house to live in too. We can play chess together in our spare time."

Mr. Li chuckled, "That’d be great!"

It was only then that they entered the house. Li Xianglu had already prepared and served tea, placing a covered bowl in front of each person. Mr. Lu took a sip before smiling and said, "Mr. Li, you’re living like a deity here, even the tea is better than what we usually drink."

Mr. Li smiled and did not respond; the high-quality tea wasn’t his own doing—it was Ah Yin’s perfectionist nature that wanted the best in everything. She was the one who collected the finest tea leaves and stored them in a small freezer.

After drinking half a bowl of tea, Mr. Lu spoke up, "You’re fully aware of the matter now, aren’t you?"

Li Huai Ren nodded and said, "Yes, these kids, they think the world outside is too simple."

Mr. Lu sighed, "Indeed, they thought they could muddle through this, which might have been fine in other cases. But this time it involves Mr. Deng—how can they be so reckless in their statements? It seems we haven’t taught them well."

Mr. Li also sighed, "Yes, Xiangxiang is too bold."
