Chapter 40 - House For Ren Luan

After hearing Ren Luan's favor Lan Xiang and Zhen Lu were taken aback. They didn't knew how to react on this peculiar request.

Then seeing then in this perplexed state Ren Luan started to explain his request in detail with a smile on his face.

Ren Luan: "Don't be flustered by my request. I didn't mean to make you flustered. I asked you to look for a house for me because of my work. As I have told you that I am a photographer and I have a special place for the village festival in my heart.

Ren Luan: "I also told you earlier in the market that I want to capture every detail of the festival using my camera ans I also fell in love with this beautiful village and it's people."

Ren Luan: "Although I will stay in this village till the festival is not over but I want to spend most of my time here. And if I travel back and forth between Sun city and Jiang village I will not be able to spend most of time. So I thought if I could stay in this village I can utilize my maximum time capturing the beauty of this village. So I am requesting you to find a house for me."

Hearing Ren Luan's intension behind asking them look for house for him, Lan Xiang and Zhen Lu smiled and was really happy with him. Then Lan Xiang thought something and said to him.

Lan Xiang: "Mr. Luan you are a very good man and you have a very good personality. Your thinking and nature is really very good. I will definitely help you in this matter."

Zhen Lu just nodded with her husband as she also found Ren Luan a very good human and she knew her husband has good sense in checking a man's personality and she trusted him very much.

Seeing both the husband and wife believing him so easily Ren Luan just laughed inwardly in his mind which made him feel that his plan is going very smoothly without any problem.

He thought that his boss would be happy with him when he will complete his mission very easily.

Then Lan Xiang and Zhen Lu looked at each other and went to the side together and talk with each other.

Then they both returned to their original place which was with Ren Luan and looked at him with smiling face and then Lan Xiang told him,

Lan Xiang: "Mr. Luan we both have a very good news for you."

Ren Luan: "Really what is it Mr. Xiang ?"

Lan Xiang: "We have a good house in our mind which will be very useful to you."

Ren Luan: "Really. Thank you so much Mr and Mrs Lan for your help. Where is the house ?"

Lan Xiang: "The house which we are talking about is right next our home and the owner of the is a very nice person and you also met the house owner already."

Ren Luan: "What I have already met the house owner ? Who is the house owner ?"

Lan Xiang: "It is the same person who has served you the noddles in the food in his shop. He is none other than Hu Wen."

Ren Luan: "Oh really Uncle Wen is the owner. It is really great."

Lan Xiang: "If you don't mind we can go talk with him now."

Hearing Lan Xiang, Ren Luan became very happy and really wanted to go and talk with Hu Wen about renting his house. But when he was getting up from his sit he saw Zhen Lu was still holding the lunch box in her hands.

Then he looked up towards Zhen Lu who was a little sad after hearing her husband's words. Then Ren Luan said,

Ren Luan: "Mr. Xiang I think it not a very good idea for you to come with now."

He said this while looking at Zhen Lu and Lan Xiang looked at his wife and understood what Ren Luan meant by saying this.

Ren Luan: "I think it will be great if I go talk to Uncle Wen on my own."

Lan Xiang: "Right it will be great if you yourself go and talk with Uncle Wen. I am sure he will agree with you and will let you live in his house. After his son and daughter-in-law moved to Sun city, he was living alone in his house. I am sure he will gladly accept your request."

Hearing Lan Xiang's words, Ren Luan showed a bright smile on his face while his eyes has been showing glint of success in them.

Then Ren Luan took their leave went out of Lan Xiang's clinic leaving both the husband and wife alone to spend their lunch time together.

After Ren Luan left the clinic, Zhen Lu went and closed the door of his chamber. Then after closing the door Zhen Lu came back to her husband and looked at him with an angry expression on her face.

And when Lan Xiang looked at her, he knew that he made a big mistake this time. Then he decided to calm her anger down.

Lan Xiang: "My dear wife let's go and eat our lunch together."

But Zhen Lu didn't answer him and just looked at the side as didn't looked at him. Then Lan Xiang got up from his sit and went to his wife's side and said,

Lan Xiang: "My dear wife pleasure forgive me. I knew that I made a big mistake this time but I just wanted to help Mr. Luan. I just wanted to give him a good Impression if our village to him."

Just like this Lan Xiang explained hisnsituation and circumstances Zhen Lu. He also told her about the past connection Ren Luan had with their village and how he(Lan Xiang) wanted to make Ren Luan's memory of their village more special than before.

Then after hearing about everything Zhen Lu finally calmed down and smiled to her husband knowing his good intension behind trying to help Ren Luan. Then Zhen Lu said,

Zhen Lu: "My helpful thoughtful husband, if you have helped everyone now can we eat our lunch together ?"

Lan Xiang: "If my dear wife wishes for it, I will fulfill it no matter what. So let's eat lunch now."

Then both of them smiled at each other and then moved to the chairs placed in the chamber and placed the lunch boxes on the table and then they both happily started to eat their lunch.

Meanwhile Ren Luan who has gone to meet Hu Wen has reached at thebvillage market and then after reaching there he went straight to Hu Wen's shop.

After Hu Wen's shop Ren Luan entered the shop and saw that Hu Wen was in the kitchen making some foods and then he called him. Hearing someone's voice which is calling him out Hu Wen came out of the kitchen and went towards the source of the voice.

When he reached at the source of the voice he saw Ren Luan was standing in front him and seeing him there he was surprised then he asked him,

Hu Wen: "Luan did you called me now ? How is your injury ?"

Ren Luan: "Yes, Uncle Wen I am the one who called you out and my injury is fine now thanks to Dr. Lan and I am really sorry for the damage that was caused by me."

Hu Wen: "It is good to hear that you are fine and don't mind for the bowl. Tell me do you need something."

Ren Luan: "Yes, Uncle Wen I have something to talk about with you."

Hu Wen: "Tell me."

Ren Luan: "Uncle Wen I have already told you that why I have come to your village and what it means to me."

Hu Wen: "Yes, Luan you have said all those details to all of us and clicked our photos together."

Ren Luan: "Exactly Uncle Wen and so do that I want to stay in your village till the village festival is not completeled. I have asked Dr. Lan about a place where I can stay and he suggested me that I can stay in your house and he suggested me that I should come and talk with you about this matter."

Hearing Ren Luan, Hu Wen raised his eyebrows and looked at him with confusion clearly showing on his face.

Hu Wen: "Why you want to stay at place Luan you can stay at any pension available here ?"

Ren Luan: "It's simple Uncle Wen, as you said I can go and find any pension in this village to stay but in that place I cannot get the thing I am looking for."

Hu Wen: "What is it you are looking for Luan ?"

Ren Luan: "Uncle Wen to tell you the truth I am an orphan and here by staying in your village and if you allow by staying in your house I want feel the the long lost feeling of family which is missing in my life for many years. I am looking for a family Uncle Wen even if it is for a few days I want to feel those familiar feelings again Uncle Wen and it is this feeling that I am looking for."

While saying this Ren Luan had tears in his eyes which was noticed by Hu Wen and when he saw his genuine tears of longing he couldn't bring himself to say no to him. So Hu Wen got up from his sit and went to Ren Luan and then he made him also got up from his sit and hugged him and said,

Hu Wen :"Don't cry Luan you will live with me. This old man is also lonely without anyone. My son whom I loved so much in my life has left me to live alone in this village but if you stay with me I will get a son in you. So now I want you to stay with me."

Ren Luan: "Thank you so much Uncle Wen and if you don't mind Uncle Wen can I stay with from today."

Hu Wen: "It is alright and yes you can stay from today. Where is you luggage ?"

Ren Luan: "It's in my car which parkeed near The Jiang river."

Hu Wen: "Okay then let's go together and bring your car and luggage to your new house."

Then after saying this they both went to get Ren Luan's car and luggage from the Jiang river side. After walking for few minutes they reached at the spot near Jiang river where Ren Luan has parked his car. When Hu Wen saw Ren Luan's car he was impressed by it.

Ren Luan doesn't have any new model fancy car rather has a simple old classic car which was kept in very good condition. Seeing this car Hu Wen praised it and Ren Luan thanked him for the praise.

Then Ren Luan unlocked his car and then both of then entered into his car with Ren Luan sitting in the driver seat and Hu Wen at the co driver seat and then driving the car they both headed towards Hu Wen's home.

They both travelled to Hu Wen's home by the village market because Hu Wen has to close his shop for the time being. When they reached at the shop of Hu Wen they saw Lan Xiang and Zhen Lu standing in front of Hu Wen's shop.

Then after seeing both of them standing there, Ren Luan stopped his car in front of Hu Wen's shop and got out of the car. Seeing the car stopped and Rean Luan and Hu Wen getting out of it, took both Lan Xiang and Zhen Lu by surprise. Then Hu Wen asked,

Hu Wen: "Xiang'er, Lu'er what are both of you doing here ?"

Lan Xiang: "Uncle Wen we have come here to talk with you to give your permission to Ren Luan to stay at your house."

Hu Wen: "Oh I see, but don't you need to worry about it anymore Xiang'er because I have already gave my permission to Luan to stay with me."

Zhen Lu: "Really Uncle Wen. It is really great."

Ren Luan: "Yes, Mr and Mrs Lan Uncle Wen has agreed to let me stay st his place."

Lan Xiang: "That's great, by the way where are both of going ?"

Hu Wen: "We are going to my home to settle Luan at my house and before that we came to my shop to close it for sometimes. Now that we are all here they why don't both of you come with us. After all we are neighbors."

Lan Xiang: "It is good idea Uncle Wen but Mr. Luan is it okay with you if we come along with both of you in your car ?"

Ren Luan: "Yes it is alright Mr. Xiang. You and your wife can ride in my car with us. I have no problem with it."

Ren Luan: "Sure, it would be my pleasure."

Then after saying this Ren Luan turned on the radio and started to search for station in it and soon he caught a radio station. At that time the radio station was playing old melodious songs on it. Then they all enjoyed the song which was playing on the radio while travelling to their houses.

After the second ended on the radio they reached at their destination and got out of the car. Then Lan Xiang showed Ren Luan around his neighborhood as he showed all the houses there and whom the houses belong to.

He showed his and Chief Wang's houses and then he showed him Hu Wen's house. The three houses were not very far from each other. After showing him all the houses, Lan Xiang and Zhen Lu went to their home while Hu Wen told him get his luggage out of his car and follow him inside tonthe house.

Then Ren Luan opened his car's trunk and got his luggage out of it. Then he followed behind HubWen into his house and then after reaching inside Hu Wen's house, Ren Luan praised his house which was not very flashy type but rather simple, warm and cozy. Then Hu Wen showed Ren Luan his room and told him to get changed and fresh and then he also told him to take some rest.

After saying all this Hu Wen went back to open his shop and after he went out of the house, Ren Luan closed the main door from behind and went to his room. Then he took out hs laptop from his bag and connected his camera with his laptop. Then he scanned and copied all the images of the village, Jiang river and all the images of the people of the village which was placed inside his camera to his laptop.
