Chapter 471 Ying Dao's Hidden Rules
Xu Youyu and his family stayed in the countryside for three days and two nights.

After dinner on the evening of the seventh day, the family of three said goodbye and left.

Xu Rongsheng and Cui Suling both have to go to work, so they won't have a holiday on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

Xu Youyu actually wanted to stay, but it was just a thought.

Seeing Ying Chanxi's happy expression as he saw him off, Xu Youyu thought about it and decided to go home with his parents.

But before leaving, he quietly took Li Luo to the rooftop and didn't come down for a long time.

Watching Li Luo helping him carry the luggage into the trunk of his father's car, Xu Youyu subconsciously stole a few glances at Li Luo's lips, pursed his lips, and felt a little unsatisfied.

Then she thought about what she was going to do after entering college, and she couldn't help but smile secretly, becoming more and more excited.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Luo glanced at her. "You seem happy to be leaving?"

"No way." Xu Youyu snorted and suppressed the smile on his face, "I just thought of some happy things so that I wouldn't be too sad about leaving."

After saying that, Xu Youyu rolled his eyes, trotted over to Ying Chanxi in a cunning manner, and hugged her tightly with a smile as a farewell hug.

After hugging Ying Chanxi, Xu Youyu was no longer polite. He turned around and hugged Li Luo. His movements were completely different from the gentle hug he had given Yan Zhusheng before.

Moreover, compared to Yan Zhusheng, who could only feel the contact of arms and shoulders when hugging, Xu Youyu's hug was much more direct.

Even if it was a hug like Yan Zhusheng's, Li Luo could probably feel the obvious softness.

Not to mention that Xu Youyu was not polite at all and hugged Li Luo so tightly that Li Luo even felt a little suffocated.

Fortunately, Xu Youyu didn't hold them for too long. He soon let go, waved to them, and got into his father's car.

After rolling down the window and saying goodbye to them again, Xu Youyu got into Xu Rongsheng's car and gradually disappeared around the corner of the street.

Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong saw the whole scene, and after the people left, they couldn't help but look at each other, feeling somewhat helpless.

They have felt helpless quite a few times in the past few days.

Originally, Lin Xiuhong was still worried about the eternal problem of which daughter-in-law to choose.

As a result, after discovering some shocking secrets in Qiongzhou City, she observed the daily interactions between Li Luo and the three little girls and felt more and more that something was wrong.

But after thinking about it, considering that they were still young, Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong didn't say much.

Especially now that Li Luo's family status has risen dramatically, his excellent performance in school has left Lin Xiuhong speechless, and Li Guohong has also given her a million-level car.

As parents, they are very impressed with their son.

Since Li Luo entered high school, he has completely changed. His excellence is so outstanding that Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong can hardly believe it.

But precisely because of this, the couple no longer trusts Li Luo as much as they did in junior high school.

They both truly believe that Li Luo has matured and will have his own plans when facing various problems.

Therefore, the two of them only discussed and complained about it in private, but they had no intention of directly interfering with Li Luo.

"Let's wait until he goes to college," said Lin Xiuhong.

"Yeah." Li Guohong also nodded in agreement. "And who knows what will happen in the future? Maybe in the end, all three girls won't be able to..."

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you talking about?" Lin Xiuhong interrupted him quickly, saying somewhat dissatisfiedly, "At least take one home, or I will be very angry with you."

"What's the point of getting angry with me? If you want to get angry, you should get angry with Li Luo." Li Guohong rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "Besides, what do you mean by at least get one? Do you really want him to bring back more?"

"That's not impossible..." Lin Xiuhong muttered softly.

Since the beginning of summer vacation, Lin Xiuhong has often gone to Bi Hai Lan Ting to cook. Even during the Chinese New Year, the three girls still rush to their house.

Lin Xiuhong is now increasingly enjoying the atmosphere of being surrounded by her three daughters-in-law.

I feel like I've gotten used to it.

It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

It must be the same for Lin Xiuhong.

After first experiencing the version with three daughters-in-law, she would definitely feel a little lost if she returns to an environment with only one daughter-in-law.

However, they only talked about these things in private and would definitely not let Li Luo and the others hear them.

After seeing off Xu Youyu and his family, things finally returned to normal for the Li family.

Because Chen Lu had to work at the bank, he returned to Yinjiang District with his mother Li Xuefeng on the morning of the eighth day of the New Year.

Ying Zhicheng also had things to do at the company, so he left after lunch, leaving Ying Chanxi here to accompany Grandpa Ying and wait until after the Lantern Festival to go back with Li Luo's family.

So only Li Luo's family, Li Xuefeng and his wife, and Li Guoru and his wife were left staying in the countryside.

After the Chinese New Year, other relatives left one after another on the seventh and eighth days of the New Year.

"Alas." Li Guohong sat on the balcony, smoking a cigarette and looking out the window with some emotion.

Li Luo had just come downstairs from his lunch break when he heard his father sighing. He couldn't help but asked with a smile, "Why are you sighing, Dad?"

"It's just a little bit of a sigh." Li Guohong said with a smile, "Let's go now. We have to go back to work now."

Two years ago, after the Chinese New Year, Li Guohong would probably take Lin Xiuhong back to the city on the fourth or fifth day of the New Year.

After all, if the breakfast shop is closed for one day, it will lose money.

How is it like now?

If they don’t go back on the eighth day of the New Year, they may even wait until after the Lantern Festival.

This trip back and forth meant I spent more than a week in the countryside.

This gap is huge.

Li Guohong originally thought that he would have to wait until he was in his seventies or eighties to have the chance to enjoy such a comfortable life.

As a result, before she could even expect anything from her son, he was already praised to the sky by this kid Li Luo.

He is in charge of the hot pot restaurant. He just needs to check on it every day. He doesn't even have to go every day. He can check the accounts every once in a while, and he can earn nearly 20,000 yuan a month.

The car I bought him was a million-level luxury SUV, which was spacious and airy to drive.

There is also a company called Rekindling Culture, where he is given the position of general manager. Normally, he only needs to deal with people who come to invite him to collaborate on songs.

Li Luo chooses and controls the specific business himself.

Not only that, he is also given a general manager's salary every month, which is about ten thousand yuan.

He didn't want it at first, but Li Guoru said it could reduce taxes, so Li Guohong accepted it and saved it all.

Li Guohong doesn't have any high-end consumption on a daily basis, and his biggest expense is probably buying cigarettes.

It has only been half a year since he took over the hot pot restaurant. Including the salary as the general manager, his personal savings are almost over 500,000.

If this is counted as a whole year, it is not impossible to say that he is a high net worth person with an annual income of one million. "Just enjoy your life." Li Luo said with a smile, "You don't have to keep an eye on that hot pot restaurant every day, just go there once in a while."

"The main thing is that there is nothing else to do." Li Guohong said.

"Don't you like fishing?" Li Luo suggested, "Spend a little more money, buy a set of fishing equipment, drive your SUV, find a spot next to the Yin River, and go fishing. Wouldn't that be nice?"

"What you said..." Li Guohong smacked his lips. He originally wanted to say that one should not spend money indiscriminately.

But if you think about it carefully, there is no point in him saving this money. After all, Li Luo is much richer than him now.

It's just sitting there anyway, so why not buy a better-end fishing rod?
Li Luo looked at his father who was lost in thought, so he smiled and said nothing more.

He actually likes his parents to find their own daily interests and hobbies, cultivate them more, and not bring their previous habits of hardship into the present.

Being able to endure hardship and enduring it are two different things.

If you insist on suffering when you don't have to, you are simply asking for trouble.

Although Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong cannot be said to be suffering now, many of their habits have not been changed.

Li Luo felt that since he had money, he should at least enjoy himself a little, just don't go overboard.

For example, when buying a car for Li Guohong, Li Luo was ruthless and bought it directly.

According to him, it was just two months' royalties, really no big deal.

But if Li Guohong were asked to buy it himself, he would definitely be reluctant to do so.

"Li Luo! Are you okay?"

Ying Chanxi's voice came from downstairs.

"Coming!" Li Luo responded, and walked downstairs, saying to his father, "Xixi and I are going out for a walk."

"Go ahead." Li Guohong waved his hand and watched Li Luo walk downstairs.

He turned his gaze to the window and saw Ying Chanxi wearing a white down jacket, standing in the yard with a camera and a tripod in her arms.

When he saw Li Luo coming down, he walked up to him with a smile and stuffed the tripod into Li Luo's arms.

Then the two of them walked out of the yard together, not knowing where they were going to take pictures.

Looking at such a youthful scene, Li Guohong couldn't help but sigh again, and silently apologized to his good brother Ying Zhicheng in his heart.

Lao Ying, I'm sorry.

……

"Where are we going?"

After leaving the yard, the two of them walked all the way out of the village. After making sure that Li Guohong on the second floor could not see them, Li Luo felt that Ying Chanxi's little hand was secretly put into his palm.

After glancing at Ying Chanxi's delicate and lovely profile, Li Luo asked, "Do you want to go to the fish pond?"

"Yeah." Ying Chanxi nodded, "I want to go there to shoot some footage."

"Why didn't I see you coming out to shoot a music video a few days ago?" Li Luo asked with a smile.

"That's because we have guests at home..." Ying Chanxi said a little guiltily.

Because he had suffered a loss in Qiongzhou City before, Yan Zhusheng said he wanted to take advantage of him, and Ying Chanxi couldn't refuse, after all, he had agreed before.

So Ying Chanxi had been patient since the Chinese New Year until now, and finally when he could be alone with Li Luo, he couldn't wait to take the camera and take Li Luo out.

During the New Year holidays, even late at night, she would sneak into Li Luo's bedroom.

But after all, Yan Zhusheng and Xu Youyu are following along, so many things cannot be done.

Only when her other good sister fell asleep could Ying Chanxi secretly kiss Li Luo, but she didn't dare to make too much noise.

But now...

They arrived at the fish pond and found a deserted place. Ying Chanxi set up the tripod and his camera. He was too lazy to even explain the play and just pulled Li Luo to the edge of the fish pond.

The next second, she couldn't wait to throw herself into Li Luo's arms, gently standing on tiptoes.

After a long time.

"Should guide."

"Ok?"

"You mean the MV? Apart from the kissing scene, there won't be anything else, right?"

"No, no!" Ying Chanxi lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Li Luo. He denied it with a red face, "Don't say anything more. Just cooperate with the acting."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to Director Ying." Li Luo said with a smile, "Even if Director Ying wants to use his power to take advantage of me, I won't resist."

"Who wants to take advantage of you?" Ying Chanxi muttered to himself, but when he glanced at Li Luo out of the corner of his eye, he was quite tempted.

But she soon realized that something was wrong with her and looked away guiltily. But the next second, Li Luo pinched her little chin and kissed her.

……

Over the next week, Ying Chanxi took Li Luo everywhere and strolled around Lijia Village, leaving footage of them filming the MV everywhere.

Of course, she didn't just shoot kissing scenes there, she also designed the plot and content carefully.

It’s just that I’m addicted to kissing, so the proportion of kissing scenes is a bit too much.

On the Lantern Festival, Ying Chanxi accompanied Lin Xiuhong and Li Xuefeng in the kitchen to make dumplings.

As the dumplings for dinner went into their stomachs, their wonderful time in the countryside came to an end.

The next morning, Lin Xiuhong and her family got up early, had breakfast, packed their luggage, and said goodbye to their grandparents.

Li Guohong sat in the driver's seat of the Mercedes-Benz SUV, said goodbye to his parents, started the car, held the steering wheel that was becoming more and more familiar, and drove his family towards the city of Yinjiang.

"I heard from your uncle Ying that you also contacted Wenyue and told them that you wanted to be the screenwriter for the TV series adaptation of Little Joy?" Li Guohong talked about this while driving. "You usually write novels, and occasionally write songs. Can you handle it?"

"Don't worry, it's okay." Li Luo said, "I've already got 100 points in three subjects in the school's elective exams, and my scores in Chinese, math and English are also stable. It's not like I'm going to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University, so there's no big problem."

For Li Luo, with the memory palace, it is difficult for his academic performance to decline significantly.

"Of course, if your goal is to surpass someone, you really have to work hard." Having said that, Li Luo smiled and glanced at Ying Chanxi next to him.

When Ying Chanxi heard this, he snorted twice: "If you have the ability, you can surpass me. I'm waiting."

"In your last final exam, were you fourth or fifth in the whole school?" Lin Xiuhong said with a smile, "You are getting closer and closer to Xixi, but I think it will be difficult to surpass her."

"People should always have dreams." Li Luo looked out the window and said meaningfully, "What if they come true?"
