Chapter 329 - Plastic Sisters (2/2)
Patriotism…
This looked like a very simple word but it made Jiang Yuning feel extremely confused.
…
Lu Jingzhi finally parked his black sedan in the parking lot at seven o’clock that night.
Jiang Yuning was overjoyed and she ran over to Lu Jingzhi with her bare feet to greet Lu Jingzhi.
“Second Brother…”
Lu Jingzhi carried Jiang Yuning up in his arms before he placed her on the sofa. After that, he wrapped his warm palms around her feet before he asked, “Don’t you feel cold at all?”
“I was too excited because my handsome pork trotters is finally home.”
Lu Jingzhi found Jiang Yuning’s slippers before he placed them in front of her. After that, he spoke to her in a gentle voice, “Go upstairs and change your clothes. I am bringing you out.”
“It’s so late now. Where are we going? Are we meeting up with Xu Liangzhou and everyone else?”
Lu Jingzhi spanked her butt as soon as he heard her words.
He had already read all the news online and he already knew what trouble the little descendant was facing. However, he was still unhappy because the first person that Jiang Yuning had called when she was in trouble was Secretary Ho.
What kind of mysterious attraction did Secretary Ho possess?
This was puzzling!
Jiang Yuning was very obedient and she went upstairs immediately to change into a set of black sportswear. After that, she went into the car with Lu Jingzhi.
“Second Brother, where are you taking me?”
Lu Jingzhi did not say anything and he continued driving without alarming anyone else.
“Second Brother, it is raining very heavily tonight.”
“It is better if it is raining.”
Jiang Yuning did not understand what Lu Jingzhi meant by his words. Lu Jingzhi finally stopped the car when they arrived at a bus stop. There was an old man who was in his early sixties who was cleaning up the stagnant rain water. At this time, a white car suddenly drove past the old man and splashed the dirty rain water all over the old man.
When Jiang Yuning saw what happened, she wanted to get out of the car to help the old man who was completely drenched, but Lu Jingzhi stopped her immediately. “Keep watching him.”
The old man stopped sweeping and he looked at the white car that had already driven out into the distance before he shook his head helplessly. After that, he continued with his cleaning without any hesitation at all.
A short while later, the old man finally returned to the platform before he changed out of his soaking wet coat. After that, the old man picked up an umbrella before he walked away from the bus stop.
Jiang Yuning felt very emotional at this time.
When Lu Jingzhi saw the changes in Jiang Yuning’s emotions, he started driving again and they arrived in front of a big sewer.
At this time, there were several firefighters dealing with the blocked underground sewage and it was very dirty and smelly. A vehicle that was passing by suddenly threw a few empty bottles into the drain.
After seeing this, the firefighters were helpless and they slowly stooped down to pick up the empty bottles to dispose of them properly before they continued with their work.
Tears began forming in Jiang Yuning’s eyes as she leaned against the car window and watched what was happening outside.
“Let’s go, Second Brother.”
“Do you understand now?” Lu Jingzhi asked Jiang Yuning as he started driving again.
Jiang Yuning wiped the tears in her eyes before she nodded her head. “Yes. I finally understand why you want to show me all these.”
“Each and everyone of us are just small individuals who suffer from the torture and difficulties that we face in life every day. Although it seems as if patriotism is very far-fetched for most of us, each of us are actually doing our parts for the country everyday. All of those people you have seen earlier will definitely be proud and satisfied with what they have achieved and done for the country, even if their actions seem so small. If our country is bullied and humiliated one day, they will also try to defend and show their love for the country in their own ways. Do you understand?”
“Patriotism is not an emotion but it is an instinct that is integrated in your life. It is your root. Your root might not be good enough and there might be some rotten parts, but you can improve your roots by making the right decisions in your life.”
