When Lu Chengyu went out in the morning, Uncle Liu, the security guard at the gate of the community, saw his car appear and hurriedly reached out and stopped his car. Uncle Liu knocked on the car window and raised what he was holding.

Upon seeing this, Lu Chengyu hurriedly rolled down the car window and said to the uncle in his fifties, “Uncle Liu, what’s the matter?”

Some time ago, Uncle Liu fell on his leg while changing the lights in the corridor of the community. He happened to be passing by and met him, so he drove him to the hospital. Later, the doctor said that the bones were misaligned and there was no major problem. However, since then, Uncle Liu smiled every time he saw him, and sometimes he would give him some local specialties from his hometown, such as peanuts and sweet potatoes. Although they are not valuable things, they were still of great interest. Although Lu Chengyu accepted the things, he wouldn’t take them for anything, so he sometimes found out some of his notebooks before the college entrance examination or some snacks that young people liked for Uncle Liu to bring to his family’s youngest daughter who was preparing for the college entrance examination.

After going back and forth, the two became familiar with each other. Usually, when Lu Chengyu went to work, Uncle Liu would always pay attention to the surroundings of Lu Chengyu’s house when he was patrolling. After all, for Uncle Liu, Lu Chengyu lived by himself, even if he had a car and a house, it was not easy. It would be troublesome if someone broke into the house and stole something.

“It’s okay, just a few days ago the child fried some peanuts. You can try it with your colleagues.” Uncle Liu felt that sharing some snacks among colleagues can promote feelings. Lu Chengyu, a young guy, may not understand this, but it is required to remind each other in this way, “If you like it, next time I will take you to the famous multi-fried point.”

“In this kind of weather you most like to eat peanuts, so I will not be polite,” Lu Chengyu accepted with a smile, and then said a few words to Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu remembered that Lu Chengyu had to go to work, and said hurriedly, “By the way, I have something to tell you.”

He looked around then he put his head near Lu Chengyu’s ear and whispered: “Xiao Lu, I heard a colleague say that someone was inquiring about you some time ago.”

Lu Chengyu’s eyes changed slightly, but his face still smiled: “I am such an ordinary person, who is spying on me?”

Uncle Liu said solemnly: “You are young and you don’t know how good you are. I’m afraid it is that rich man surnamed Liang who is asking for trouble, and the new tenant who moved upstairs yesterday also asked about your news. In case, he and the Liang surname are together, that might cause you trouble. Are they giving you trouble?”

“I see, thank you, Uncle Liu.” The smile on Lu Chengyu’s face faded. After thanking Uncle Liu several times, he drove away and asked about the new resident upstairs. With some interest, he thought about whoever made a special trip to move to this community for him, the rent in this community is not cheap, if it is to buy a house, it is an even bigger sum of money.

“Old Liu, what are you telling Mr. Lu?” In the security booth, a security guard stuck his head out of the window and glanced in the direction where Lu Chengyu’s car was leaving. “I said, you treat Mr. Lu as half a son. That’s it.”

“What nonsense?” Uncle Liu knew that his colleague was joking, and said with a smile, “I just brought Mr. Lu some peanuts from my own home, what can I say.”

The security guard also knew what happened to Lu Chengyu recently, after all, it was on TV. He sighed and said, “This Mr. Lu is indeed a good person. It’s a pity…” It’s a pity that he has no parents. From now on, there will always be some trouble in getting married.
