Lu Yian looked at his pretty little sister and sighed, "I wonder who is so lucky to be our brother-in-law?"

Lu Yirou joked, "Second brother, if you really can't bear to leave me, I won't get married in the future and will stay at home with you."

This scared Su Yan. Her daughter was a whirlwind person. She might really act on impulse and not get married until she was thirty.

So he advised: "Rou Rou, although you are only fifteen years old and it is not suitable for you to date for the time being. But when a woman reaches the age of twenty, she should start thinking about what kind of person she wants to marry.

Mom is starting to prepare your dowry now. If you really don’t plan to get married, I will give the dowry to your uncle’s daughter.”

"Mom, what dowry?"

"Jewelry and other things."

"Ah? Jewelry should be very valuable, right? Mom, don't worry if I don't get married by the age of 20. I will definitely get married before 25. Don't give away the dowry you prepared!"

Seeing her sister getting nervous, Lu Yirou joked, "If you don't want the jewelry Mom prepared, give it to my future daughter. Mom, I'll definitely give you a granddaughter before I turn 30."

Su Yan sneered, "Oh, if I want to hold my granddaughter, do I need to rely on you? Your eldest brother is definitely faster than you."

"Mom, my eldest brother will definitely give you a grandson, but I'll be the one to give you a granddaughter."

"Okay, if you say I'll rely on you, then I'll rely on you. You three siblings are triplets. I hope you can inherit my good genes."

Now that family planning is so strict, their children may only have one child in the future. I hope they can find a partner and have twins after getting married.

Lu Yian smiled and said, "Mom, we are still laughing. Having a baby is still a long way off for us."

"Okay, take your clothes and snacks away, I'll ask someone to serve the food."

Su Yan didn't know whether Lu Ting would come back tonight. The weather was cold, so she decided to eat first. If the chef wasn't there when he came back, she could ask them to make one or two more hot dishes.

Just as Su Yan had thought, it was almost time to go to bed and Lu Ting still hadn't come back. Didn't he know that she would be back in the next two days?

She didn't wait any longer until nine o'clock, and went straight to bed after washing up. She slept until seven o'clock the next day and was ready to get up for a run, but found that the children had already had breakfast and returned to school.

Su Yan had no choice but to go jogging in a nearby park alone. After running for half an hour, she returned home. Passing by a breakfast shop, she sat down to drink a bowl of red bean porridge and eat a fried dough stick before going home.

Not long after returning home, the chef returned with a cart full of vegetables. Su Yan saw a muntjac and asked, "Dayong, did you buy a muntjac today?"

"Yes, boss. I was lucky enough to come across a muntjac seller today, so I bought it. I'll put it on the account later."

"Don't sell all the deer meat. Leave a few pounds for us to put in the refrigerator."

"Okay, I'll keep it for you."

Su Yan planned to take the deer meat with her children to a hot pot restaurant tonight. Lu Ting didn't come home last night, so he would definitely come back tonight. Sure enough, he came back before six o'clock.

"Yan Yan, when did you come back?"

"I got home yesterday, and you didn't come back last night."

"You know I'm in this position now, and I don't have to do any manual work. I just have to talk and write every day, especially as the end of the year is approaching and I have endless meetings."

"Thank you for your hard work. Dayong bought a muntjac today and left a few pounds for us. Let's take it to the hot pot restaurant."

"Don't hotpot restaurants serve beef, mutton, chicken, and soft-shelled turtle every day? Are you sure you want to bring some deer meat? We'll go back to the hotpot restaurant tomorrow night. How about grilling it?"

"Well, if you like, you can grill it and eat it. Old Master Yan's mother will be celebrating her eightieth birthday next year. There are twenty or thirty tables of banquets set up at the Jingshi Grand Hotel, and Second Master Yan invited us to attend the birthday banquet."

"Tomorrow at noon? I might not be able to make it."

"Forget it, the kids have a day off tomorrow. I'll see who will follow me."

In this era, there was nothing to eat, and most children liked to go to banquets with their adults. The children in their family had eaten both Chinese and Western food, and their family ran a private restaurant, so naturally they would not be greedy for the big fish and meat at the banquet.

In the evening, Su Yan grilled deer meat for the children. The family of five gathered around the grill and chatted while grilling.

Su Yan asked them, "I'm going to a birthday banquet tomorrow, and you guys happen to have a day off, so who wants to go with me?"

Lu Yian refused without a second thought: "Mom, I won't go. We are already teenagers and it's not good to follow mom to a banquet, right?"

"Okay, if you don't want to go, then don't go. Rourou, Ningning, what about you guys?"

Lu Yiru didn't care. Other people's families would bring their own children to the banquet. Her father couldn't go, so there was nothing embarrassing about her mother taking them to the banquet.

"Mom, I'll go with you. Where are they holding the banquet?"

"Jingshi Hotel."

"Oh my goodness, who would hold a banquet at the Jingshi Hotel? It must cost a lot of money, right?"

Su Yan patted Lu Yining's shoulder gently and said, "Kid, are you really that exaggerated? When you get married, I will hold your wedding banquet at the Jingshi Hotel."

No matter how expensive the Beijing hotel is, are they as expensive as those big restaurants in Hong Kong? Of course not. Even if they are expensive, she can afford them.

"Mom, it's still early for us to get married. We're going to have a banquet tomorrow, so take me with you!"

"Okay, I'll take you two anyway. I'll show you the world."

Seeing that the third and fourth children were going, Su Yan asked the second child, "Are you going?"

Lu Yian still shook his head, "Mom, my brothers and sisters are all there, so I'm still not going."

"Okay, then don't go. Tomorrow night our family will go to our own hot pot restaurant to eat hot pot."

Lu Yirou suggested, "Mom, the hot pot restaurant is open now, why not invite grandpa and grandma to have a meal?"

"Sure, wait for your eldest brother to come back and let them go eat hot pot together. Your eldest brother likes beef hot pot."

Lu Ting was a little surprised. Wouldn’t it take a few more years for their eldest brother to come back?

"Yan Yan, is Yiming coming back?"

"Yeah, he said he'd be back during winter break. He doesn't need to work during the break, so he might as well buy a plane ticket and come back for the New Year."

"A round-trip ticket must cost a lot of money. Why would this guy be willing to come back?"

"He made some extra money this year and wanted to come back and spend the New Year with us."

"Let's go back. Let's take more photos during the Chinese New Year this year."

When the triplets learned that Lu Yiming would be back, they were very happy, especially Lu Yining. "Mom, when big brother comes back, I'm going to ask him how developed America is. When I apply to university, I'll definitely find a way to become an exchange student."

"You don't have to be an exchange student to study abroad. Ningning, do you want to study abroad?"

"Mom, I want to see the outside world."

Su Yan turned around and asked Lu Yian, "What about you?"

Lu Yian pursed his lips and finally shook his head. "Mom, I'm already in Renmin University, so of course I'm going to pursue a career in government. I'll be doing graduate school in China. My younger brothers and sisters will take the college entrance exam next year, so if they want to go abroad, they can go!"
