A Handy Tool

When she woke up and saw no one around, she called out a few times. The person who entered wasn't the "Dad" or "Mom" she was calling for, but her grandmother, with water still on her hands.

"Oh, my Du Du is awake! Mom and Dad went off to work. Grandma will dress you, and then we'll watch Grandpa pick out a name for Du Du, okay?" Zhang Xiaofeng looked at her little granddaughter, whose hair was sticking up, and adored her and couldn’t resist covering her in kisses.

Somewhat accustomed to her parents' sudden disappearances, Lu Dudu didn't cry. Instead, she was immediately captivated by her grandmother's words.

The elders of the Lu family were discussing giving Lu Dudu a meaningful name, while Lu Hang and Lin Nannan headed up into the mountains together. They were making plans for the future, such as the fact that they already knew Second Uncle had called Lu Ming, who immediately said he would return. When that happened, they would have to come back again.

As the two made their way up the mountain, they had no idea that Lu Dudu had found a great tool to help with her walking when villagers came to borrow things. They were instantly blown away, circling around to observe it for a while. The more they looked, the more they felt it was a fantastic item, perfectly suited for their children. With such a handy tool, it would make things so much easier.

Curious, they asked about it. Upon learning it was made by Lin Nannan and not available for sale anywhere else, they felt a wave of regret.

Everyone in the village knew Lin Nannan was a remarkable person, even outshining Lu Hang. Though they envied her, they didn’t dare ask for favors. Having her make something for them would undoubtedly cost a fortune, especially since Lin Nannan wasn’t someone to cross.

Still, the item was so useful that they couldn’t help feeling tempted. They talked about it in hushed tones among themselves, then found excuses to come and see it. After seeing it, they regretted it.

If they had known it was made by Lin Nannan, they wouldn’t have looked. After all, none of them dared to ask Lin Nannan to make one for them. She was so busy she had even left her child with the Lu family. Making a request would get them nowhere.

Rather than coveting something they couldn’t have, it was better not to know about it at all.

The villagers' reactions were known to the Lu family, but they didn’t dare mention it.

Even though they knew Lu Ming was returning for this very reason, they didn’t dare reveal a hint of it, afraid that Lu Ming might refuse. If people got their hopes up, it would only end in letdown.

"But speaking of which, this thing is really good. After the road in front was leveled, Du Du could even go out to play. We just need to keep an eye on her." Thinking of how her granddaughter had just peeked out into the yard, her curious expression was utterly delightful. Probably because she had always been carried before, now that she was walking on her own, everything seemed new. She looked left and right, her eyes darting around in wonder.

"Anything Nan Nan creates is bound to be good. I just wonder if A Ming will appreciate it when he returns. I think Nan Nan is right—once this thing is made, it will sell like hotcakes." Lu Zheng said with some hesitation.

"Then let’s wait until A Ming returns. If he still doesn’t listen, just do as A Hang said and let him fend for himself!" Pan Xiaoping muttered, not seeming to care that he was her own son.

It wasn’t that she was heartless, but if A Ming refused this opportunity, there would be no other shortcuts for him.

The product hadn’t even been released yet, and people were already impressed just by seeing Du Du’s. Once it was sold and more people learned about it, the business potential was obvious.

If A Yuan hadn’t found opportunities in Beijing, and if Lu Hang and his wife weren’t so busy, this incredible opportunity would never have fallen into Lu Ming’s lap. If he dared to complain, it would really make people want to kick him out and let him fend for himself.
