Chapter 64 Game Section
Next up were the children from the Lu family. After checking their invitations, they all skipped and hopped into the courtyard.
Finally, the children with cleft lips who were extremely nervous were left, each clutching the hem of their clothes tightly.
Lu Yuan walked straight towards them, and extended his hand to the little girl standing at the front:
"Young man, please let me see your invitation."
Only when he got closer could Lu Yuan see clearly that there was a crack that ran from the little girl's lips all the way down to below the right nostril.
Dr. Huang explained to him that most boys' clefts are below the left nostril, while girls' clefts are below the right nostril.
Compared to serious genetic diseases like Down syndrome, cleft lip and palate is actually an extremely fortunate genetic condition.
The vast majority of people with cleft lip and palate do not experience any impact on their normal lives; on the contrary, they are often quite intelligent.
The little girl was wearing pants that were clearly altered from adult pants, making her look very out of place.
When her name was called, she panicked a little and hurriedly pulled out the invitation from the cloth bag slung across her shoulder, handing it to Lu Yuan with both hands.
After Lu Yuan took it, he found that the invitation was the latest one.
After he sent out the other invitations, the little ones picked them up and looked through them or played with them, and they all got a little wrinkled.
After returning the invitation to her, Lu Yuan said earnestly:
"Little Li Yueru, thank you for keeping our invitation so well. Please come in!"
The children with cleft lips noticed that Lu Yuan didn't treat them any differently, and their eyes immediately brightened, and they raised their heads slightly.
Li Yueru was somewhat flattered and slowly walked forward, wanting to go in but not daring to.
At this moment, Xu Manman ran out of the house, grabbed Li Yueru's hand, and said happily:
"Great! Are you one of the kids invited by Uncle Lu? Let's go play! It's so much fun inside!"
At this moment, Li Yueru was like a puppet on a string, being led around by Xu Manman, but her eyes became incredibly bright, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
The children behind looked shocked when they saw this.
They all felt a surge of hope, yet also an instinctive fear—the fear of being thrust back into the crowd and ridiculed.
Lu Yuan sped up, not giving the little ones a chance to overthink things, and after quickly checking the invitations, he let them in.
Lu Yuan didn't rush inside, but instead walked towards Old Master Qin and asked:
"Did you teach Manman beforehand?"
"This child has been clever and kind-hearted since she was little. She understands as soon as I say it." The old man smiled and seemed genuinely happy.
"But Mr. Lu, the event you organized is really good. It has a theme, content, and a grand vision."
Lu Yuan chuckled sheepishly and helped the old man up, saying:
"You're jumping to conclusions too soon. There's more excitement going on behind the scenes. Let's go in and see."
"Alright, then I'll be watching closely, old man."
The courtyard has been completely transformed after yesterday's tidying up.
There were several square tables in the courtyard, somewhat like a teahouse in Chengdu.
The white walls all around are covered with vivid cartoons.
Those who frequently travel through time will immediately recognize it as "Naruto".
Lu Yuan clapped his hands in the middle of the yard, signaling the children to gather around him.
"Now, children, please take out your invitations again. Did you notice that the colors of the invitations are different?"
The children took out the invitations again and discovered that they were all different colors: red, yellow, green, and blue.
"I didn't even notice it when I was writing it; I just followed the order given by Boss Lu. I didn't realize there were different colors."
Xiao He remarked from the side that Lu Gaoren's image had become even more impressive.
Grandpa Xu also returned to the private room, where his family could see the entire courtyard clearly through the window.
"Dad, why are Manman's invitations different colors?" Xu Jianhua asked, puzzled.
Xu Jianguo, holding his teacup, said cheerfully, "I think Boss Lu is going to divide the children into groups."
"Divided into groups? Why divide into groups for a meal?"
"I think it's more than just eating, otherwise we wouldn't have gone to such lengths."
In the courtyard, Lu Yuan indeed divided the children into groups, aiming to shuffle the order of the children from the Lu family, the city, and the children with cleft lips.
Otherwise, if they sit at a separate table, it will still feel like they are being isolated.
"Come on, bring out the fried chicken and cola!" Lu Yuan shouted towards the small door.
Soon after, the braised eggs arrived quickly in the yard carrying trays.
On the tray were small plates, each containing three small pieces of KFC Golden Chicken Nuggets that Lu Yuanshan had copied.
Some trays had small cups on them, each about half full of cola.
"Why is there so little fried chicken? Is Boss Lu being stingy?" Xiao He muttered.
Xiao Zhang immediately punched him and said:
"You think everyone's like you? I secretly went to check it out, and Boss Lu prepared such a lavish feast. I'm so hungry!"
This classic fried chicken nugget was something that only a few of Manman's friends had tried in Beijing; no one else had ever even seen it.
But fried chicken is fried chicken, and its appeal transcends time and space.
After taking a bite, the children all showed expressions of surprise and immediately began to eat heartily.
But three small pieces of fried chicken are just enough to whet your appetite.
A few minutes later, the small plates in front of the children were empty, and the cola in their small cups was almost gone.
Some children smacked their lips, clearly not having had enough, and cast longing glances at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan then walked to the middle of the courtyard again, holding a few sheets of white paper in his left hand and a small plate with a piece of fried chicken with bone on it in his right hand.
"Let's play a game called 'Pictionary.' The more questions you guess correctly, the more pieces of fried chicken like the one I'm holding will each child in this group receive."
"Dr. He, Dr. Zhang, come up here and demonstrate."
Xiao He and Xiao Zhang were completely bewildered when their names were called, because Lu Yuan had not informed them beforehand, and they could only walk onto the field with blank expressions.
This is exactly the effect Lu Yuan wanted; only those who haven't played it before can truly enjoy it.
He immediately explained the rules to everyone present, and then handed Xiao Zhang a wooden board with a stack of white paper sandwiched inside.
Lu Yuan stood behind Xiao He and showed the first keyword to Xiao Zhang, who was facing him: camel.
Xiao Zhang has excellent sketching skills and immediately drew a lifelike camel, which Xiao He answered right away.
Lu Yuan handed the fried chicken to Xiao He and explained, "This way, you get a reward for answering a question correctly. If you encounter a question you don't know, you can skip it."
After everyone understood the rules, Lu Yuan immediately walked towards the red team and pointed to a child with a cleft lip and Xu Manman:
"For the first round of the game, you two will represent the red team. How much fried chicken everyone gets depends entirely on you two!"
The two little ones nodded seriously. Lu Yuan handed the answer tool to Manman and showed her the first word: goat.
The goat's features are very obvious: a goat's beard and curved horns. Manman quickly finished drawing it.
The child with the cleft lip across from him hesitated for a moment, then timidly replied, "A...goat?"
"Congratulations! You got it right! Everyone in your group will get a piece of fried chicken!"
Lu Yuan raised his voice and reached out his hand towards Manman. Manman understood and came over to give him a high five.
Then Lu Yuan reached out to the child with the cleft lip. The child hesitated for a moment, but quickly gave him a high five.
"Here comes the fried chicken!"
The braised eggs were quick, and soon a plate of bone-in fried chicken appeared in front of the red team's children. It was golden, fragrant, and very tempting.
The cleft-lipped child, seeing that his efforts had won fried chicken for his team, gradually became excited and even looked forward to Lu Yuan giving him the next question.
