Chapter 76

“Uncle Lou, Mama Guan, what happened to Manzai?”

Lu Ye walked over and asked with concern. Ruan Qiqi glanced at him. This old lady must be special in her man’s heart.

“Manzai has been standing like this for an hour, not talking or moving, and he gets angry when I pull him.” Guan Zhihua said helplessly.

She felt very guilty and self-blamed for her youngest son.

If she had been more alert, she would not have been caught by the enemy, and her youngest son would not have been imprisoned with her. Before he got sick, Manzai was particularly smart and cute. It was she who harmed Manzai.

But she was still glad that Manzai was at least alive, and in his own world, Manzai was very happy, and that was enough.

“Xiaoye, she is your girlfriend, Miss Qiqi, right?” Old Master Lou asked gently.

“Yes, she is my cousin now.”

Lu Ye’s face was full of pride and pride.

“It’s a great joy, Xiaoye, you have your own family now.” Guan Zhihua was very relieved.

Lu Ye laughed and stretched out his hand to scratch the back of his head, looking a little silly.

In front of Guan Zhihua, he completely lost his thorns and became a simple and silly child.

Ruan Qiqi also greeted the two elders. She heard from the original body that Guan Zhihua was the best person to Lu Ye in the compound.

When Lu Ye was a child, he was punished by Lin Manyun to stand outside. He was so hungry that he ate the grass in the flower bed. Guan Zhihua saw him and called him to his home for dinner. From then on, Guan Zhihua would call Lu Ye home for dinner every now and then, and would buy him clothes, shoes and socks.

That’s why Lu Ye called her Guan Mom.

Guan Zhihua was the only light in Lu Ye’s life.

But Guan Zhihua suffered too much in prison, and her vitality was greatly damaged. Her health was not very good. A year later, this respectable old lady died of cancer.

The old lady had lung cancer and had undergone surgery and chemotherapy, but the effect was not very good. In the 1970s, China was far behind the international level in tumor treatment.

The death of Guan Zhihua was a big blow to Lu Ye in his previous life.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Guan Zhihua coughed a few times. She was very thin and looked very bad, but her eyes were still bright and her temperament was very elegant.

Lu Ye looked at her worriedly. He hadn’t noticed it before, but now he found that Guan’s mother had lost a lot of weight and her hair was all white. He felt very uncomfortable and was even more afraid that something might happen to Guan Zhihua.

“Manzi, go home and sleep with mom and dad, okay?”

Guan Zhihua’s voice became gentler, but Manzi still didn’t move, but his eyes kept turning. It was obvious that he wanted to speak, but he refused to open his mouth.

“What’s wrong with this child? Do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up?” Guan Zhihua asked her husband worriedly.

Grandpa Lou thought so too. He was going to go back and call the orderly to drive his youngest son to the hospital.

Ruan Qiqi only observed for a while and had a rough idea in her mind. She pulled Lu Ye over.

Guan Zhihua grabbed her husband and whispered, “Let’s wait and see.”

She had a hunch that Ruan Qiqi could get her son to move.

“One, two, three, we are all wooden men…”

Ruan Qiqi suddenly shouted, and then walked forward. Lu Ye followed her and pulled Manzai.

Manzai really moved and followed obediently.

After walking a few steps, Ruan Qiqi shouted loudly: “Don’t talk or move!” As soon as she finished speaking, she stood still.

Lu Ye just raised his foot, and he stood in the posture of a golden rooster standing on one leg. Manzai was walking in a stepping posture, with his left hand in front, his right hand behind, and his head slightly tilted to the side.

The three of them stood in a very awkward posture, motionless, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.

Guan Zhihua and Mr. Lou couldn’t help laughing. So this is the reason. Ruan Qiqi is really smart.

“A-choo…”

Lu Ye sneezed loudly, and then his feet fell to the ground.

“Yeah, you moved, you lost!”

Manzai was very happy, he finally unlocked.

He shook his hands and kicked his feet to relieve the soreness in his body. He had been waiting for Xiao Mao and Xiao Ming to unlock the door, but they didn’t come for a long time. He couldn’t unlock it himself, because that would violate the rules of the game.

“Yes, I lost. How do you want to punish me?”

Lu Ye admitted defeat and rubbed Manzai’s arms.

“The loser has to call dad three times.”

Manzai said happily.

“Dad, dad, dad!”

Lu Ye didn’t even beat him, but called him very straightforwardly. Manzai was very happy and responded very cooperatively: “Hey, hey, hey!”

Guan Zhihua and Grandpa Lou felt that something was wrong. If Lu Desheng knew about it, he would be very petty and would definitely be angry.

But Manzai was so happy that they didn’t want to spoil his fun. Besides, it was late at night, so Lu Desheng shouldn’t be able to hear it, right?

“Who are you calling daddy? I’m your daddy!”

Lu Desheng’s angry voice suddenly rang out. He was upset and didn’t want to go home. He was wandering around nearby. He accidentally heard his own rebellious son calling someone else daddy, and he called so attentively. He was immediately furious.

The rebellious son had never called him so attentively before, which made him so angry!

Guan Zhihua and Old Man Lou felt guilty for a rare time. Before Lu Desheng came over, they hid behind the camphor tree to avoid the embarrassment of facing each other.

“Ye Ye lost, you have to call daddy!”

Manzai explained very attentively.

When Lu Desheng saw that it was him, his anger subsided. He even forced a little smile and corrected him: “He has to call you brother, not daddy, understand?”

“Call daddy.”

“Call brother.”

“Just call daddy!”

“Call brother.”

“Dad.”

“Okay, dad is daddy, it’s up to you, dad!”

Lu Desheng had no choice but to compromise. Why should he argue with a little kid? Just call him, anyway, no outsiders can hear it.

“Hey!”

Manzai responded loudly, and stretched out his hand and touched Lu Desheng’s head kindly a few times, just like he touched the big yellow dog at home.

Lu Desheng’s expression froze instantly. He wanted to beat up this bastard for taking advantage of him!

But he couldn’t do it, Manzai was a poor child.

“I won’t argue with you, kid!”

Lu Desheng gritted his teeth and walked away angrily, glaring at Lu Ye. He now suspected that it was this rebellious son who taught Manzai to take advantage of him on purpose.

He hadn’t walked a few steps when he heard Lu Ye’s unbridled laughter and Ruan Qiqi’s. These two rebellious things!

Lu Desheng’s face became even darker, and he returned home with gritted teeth.

Guan Zhihua and Old Man Lou came out from behind the tree and breathed a sigh of relief. They felt both sympathy and laughter for Lu Desheng’s experience.

“Manzai, you’re home!”

The two elders greeted their son.

“Qiqi, when will you teach me to speak Shanghainese?” Manzai asked.

“I’ll come to see you tomorrow.”

Ruan Qiqi glanced at Guan Zhihua. She had to find a way to send some targeted drugs to the old lady. There were some in the space pharmacy.

Guan Zhihua is a very important relative of Lu Ye, and also a respectable and admirable revolutionary predecessor. She would help him both publicly and privately.

“I’ll wait for you tomorrow. Goodbye Qiqi, goodbye Yeye!”

Manzai waved happily and followed his parents home.

He was taller than his parents, but he walked in the middle, holding his mother with his left hand and his father with his right hand. The family of three walked slowly, and their backs were particularly warm.
