The next day, Lin Wan went to work full of spirit, and Lu Zheng was just about to travel to ancient tis when he received a call from his roommate, Tong Muxuan.
"Wow, not busy anymore? You actually have ti to call ?" Lu Zheng asked with a smile.
In the modern world, Lu Zheng mainly kept in touch with his parents and Lin Wan, and he rarely contacted classmates and so friends he t socially.
Of course, "rarely" doesn’t an never. After all, his three roommates were all in Hai City, and they still gathered from ti to ti. However, with everyone’s schedules being uncertain, they usually kept in touch online, and offline gatherings were sowhat infrequent—the last eting was back in April.
Additionally, there were Liu Zhenming, Du Lin, Zhao Wenyu, and others. Since the Full Armor Combat, he beca a celebrity in their club and was pulled into a group. Although they didn’t et often, they occasionally chatted, so they weren’t estranged.
"Our team has been rushing a project and working overti for two months now. We’re trying to get it launched by Mid-Autumn Festival. Just finished." Tong Muxuan said.
"So, are you planning a get-together? Calling Zhao Si and Leizi?" Lu Zheng said with a smile.
"One thing is about that; the other is that I’m going to marry ng ng. We’ll have one ceremony back ho in early October and another one in Hai City at the end of September." Tong Muxuan said, "The ceremony in Hai City is not big, just inviting so familiar colleagues and classmates. If you’re free, co and show so support?"
"Of course, I’ll be there!"
Lu Zheng responded imdiately, "I didn’t expect you and Su ngng are already planning to get married. Aren’t you planning to enjoy a few more years before settling down?"
"You have issues with your thinking, young man." Tong Muxuan imdiately criticized, "Does getting married an you can’t enjoy life? Or does your idea of enjoying a few more years have another aning? Be careful, I’ll inform Officer Lin in the group."
The script-killing group was still around; aside from Su ngng constantly showing off her love with Tong Muxuan, Lu Zheng also knew that Luo Yun had changed boyfriends twice.
"Go ahead, anyway, Lin Wan is no longer a criminal police officer, so she can’t control ." Lu Zheng said confidently.
"You’re impressive!" Tong Muxuan said, "Okay, you’ve been notified by phone. I’ll send the ti and location to the group later. Bring Lin Wan; I won’t notify her separately. ng ng will notify Huang Xiumin and Luo Yun separately."
"Alright." Lu Zheng nodded, "How about gathering this weekend?"
"I’ll ask in the group." Tong Muxuan said.
After hanging up, Tong Muxuan asked in the group. Zhao Wei, who worked at another major factory, and Lei Zhiyun, who went straight to a doctoral program after graduate studies and now seems to be working at an information research institute, both said it was fine.
Everyone was busy with their own things normally, and since they kept in touch online, there was no need for offline gatherings. However, with Tong Muxuan about to get married and no chance to talk at the ceremony, they naturally needed to get together earlier to congratulate and banter privately.
But there were still three days until the weekend, still so ti away. Lu Zheng chatted a bit with his three roommates in the group, then they all tacitly stopped talking and went about their business.
...
Travel to ancient tis, just opened the door, and heard the laughter coming from the alley outside.
He looked at the sky; it was almost noon. Ao Qian and Liu Qingquan had finished their morning lessons and went out to play.
"Uncle Li!"
"Young Master!" Uncle Li heard the call and ran to the backyard.
"Anything happening these days?"
"Nothing, everything’s fine. It’s just that Miss Li keeps asking about you, saying it’s almost ti for the ten-day break. What’s the plan this ti?"
Lu Zheng’s eyebrow twitched, feeling a bit speechless.
Last ti, he organized a sports et, mainly because he had just seen a public account article about a college sports et before traveling, and ended up impulsively holding an event. It was also to welco Ao Qian and help her get familiar with people and integrate into Tonglin County.
How can there be a big event every ten days?
Usually, during the ten-day break, it’s just going to the Peach Grove to play Mahjong, play chess, eat barbecue, and hotpot.
"Brother-in-law has returned!"
"Brother-in-law, the ten-day break is the day after tomorrow. What are we going to play? I need to prepare!"
Ao Qian’s current identity is Liu Qingyan’s distant cousin, so upon hearing Liu Qingquan calling Lu Zheng brother-in-law, she followed suit.
Lu Zheng patted his forehead, "What do you want to play?"
Liu Qingquan shook his head, Ao Qian’s eyes shone brightly, "Another sports et?"
"You can’t have sports ets all the ti; it gets boring if done too much." Lu Zheng shook his head.
Undeterred, Ao Qian’s eyes glittered as she continued, "Then maybe a checkers competition? Go competition? Or maybe a shuttlecock kicking competition?"
Lu Zheng, "..."
He was just thinking about whether to bring the ga Werewolf over from modern tis, as it’s a classic that has remained popular for many years.
However, looking at Liu Qingquan and then at Ao Qian, he felt it wasn’t quite suitable.
It’s so challenging; he really wanted to bring a portable projector to show them a movie!
While thinking, Lu Zheng said, "How about holding a talent show?"
"What’s that?"
"It’s where everyone performs a program—singing, dancing, playing musical instrunts, drawing, swordplay, reciting—all are possible, and then people vote. Finally, we determine first, second, and third place, with rewards..."
"Cake reward!" Ao Qian raised her hand.
"Cake reward!" Lu Zheng agreed.
...
Ten-day break, Peach Blossom Forest.
Not just Ao Qian, even the Peach Blossom Celestial Maiden and the won from Five Beauties Manor who participated in the last sports et found it very interesting.
Upon hearing that this ti involved performing talents and voting, they gained a little competitive spirit.
"Talents are solo performances, lasting no longer than one incense stick. Exceeding this disqualifies you from participating, and each person only has five votes. Be sure to select your favorites."
Lu Zheng said, patting the gourd, and took out a stack of paper. This was the form he made in modern tis and printed to bring back.
"Co, co, co, everyone gets one. You can mark five checks when the ti cos, then put them in the voting box. I’ll be the one counting votes, ensuring fairness and impartiality."
Liu Qingyan took the form, rubbed the rare paper, and then focused her attention on the form.
One column had everyone’s nas, and another column was left blank for checks.
"Is this printed? There’s no printing workshop in the county, did Lu Lang specially go to Yizhou?" Liu Qingyan said, "Actually, it’s just 20 or 30 sheets; copying them is not difficult."
"It’s convenient this way." Lu Zheng said with a smile.
"Alright!"
Lu Zheng clapped his hands, seeing everyone looking his way, "The talent show is officially open. Anyone who wants to perform can do so now."
It was just their group having fun, so Lu Zheng didn’t specify an order for performing; everyone discussed and decided amongst themselves.
The venue beca quiet for a mont, with everyone looking at each other, stealing glances but not speaking or going first.
"Since everyone is being modest, let lead by example." Hua Yixing stood up.
"Sister Hua is impressive!"
"Sister Hua is aweso!"
"Sister Hua’s performance will definitely be great!"
"Master, I’ve co to see you!"
A voice suddenly interrupted, and everyone turned to see a whirlwind sweep in, landing in the Peach Grove and revealing two figures.
It was Hu Zhou and Gao Junyu.
