Lu Yan waited for Gu Huailin after school, and they rode home together on a bicycle.
Lu Yan, with ice cream in her mouth, mumbled something indistinctly.
"Gu Huailin, you did a really good job today!"
Gu Huailin smiled slightly, "With me here, how can outsiders bully you?"
Lu Yan: "I love hearing what you said. From now on, you're my brother!"
Gu Huailin: "When have I ever not been your brother!"
Lu Yan said, "Don't take it so seriously. If we're going to be serious, I'm a bit older than you."
The boy smiled happily under the sunlight, attracting the attention of passersby; his bright smile was captivating.
After returning home.
Lu Yan put down her schoolbag, first went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and then turned and went to the kitchen.
"mom!"
Lu Zhixia put down the kitchen knife in her hand. "What's wrong? Why are you so excited?"
Lu Yan hugged her mother tightly and said with a grin, "I'm telling you, I can grow my hair back."
Lu Zhixia was surprised. "What happened?"
Lu Yan: "I got into a fight with the principal today. My brother helped me, so she didn't dare to bully either of us. In the end, she said a bunch of nonsense. Anyway, I don't need to cut my hair."
Looking at her daughter's excited expression, Lu Zhixia guessed what was going on.
"Are you two alright?"
Lu Yan said, "We're fine, but we've offended someone today. Maybe the teacher will ask me to call you over tomorrow."
Lu Zhixia said, "It shouldn't be like that. Your dad went to school today and had a big argument with the principal. Then he went to the Education Committee and reported the actual situation to them."
Lu Yan picked up an apple from the plate and took a couple of quick bites. It felt so good to be pampered by her parents.
Where is Dad?
"She's gone out, she'll be back in a bit." Lu Zhixia looked at her daughter, who was covered in sweat. "Go take a shower later, we'll have wontons for dinner tonight."
Upon hearing that they were eating wontons, Lu Yan immediately shouted outside.
"Brother, we have your favorite wontons today."
Gu Huailin walked in from outside, having changed his white shirt into a vest and his pants into shorts.
Because I exercise regularly, I already have the outline of muscles in my body.
"Brother—" Lu Yan circled around him, "No wonder the girls in the class talk about you so much, your looks and figure are truly top-notch!"
As Lu Zhixia looked at them, she suddenly thought that when children get older, it's easy for young girls and boys to fall for each other when they're in the throes of first love.
"You two, you wouldn't have fallen for each other, would you?!"
The two immediately showed expressions of disgust and even took a few steps back.
Lu Yan: "Mom, what are you saying? How could I like him?"
Gu Huailin, "I can't like you either!"
Lu Yan put her hands on her hips and said, "I'm praising you because you helped me today. You really think you're so great."
Gu Huailin: "Alright, I know what happened, I'm not going to argue with you anymore!"
After saying that, he turned around and left without any hesitation.
Lu Yan hugged her mother's shoulders tightly, "Don't worry! I won't fall for him!"
Lu Zhixia sighed, "I was overthinking it. How could you two possibly hit it off? If you ever like someone in the future, you have to tell me. You can't just randomly pick someone!"
Lu Yan thought for a moment, "I want to find a soldier, just like my dad."
Lu Zhixia said, "Being a military wife is very hard."
Lu Yan continued eating her apple. "I didn't feel it was hard work. On the contrary, I felt it was great. If I were a little more attractive, that would be even better!"
Gu Lingxiao heard the last two sentences as soon as he came in from outside. When he arrived at the kitchen door, he saw the mother and daughter hugging each other. They looked more and more alike, except for their eyes.
I thought of Song Weidong; his eyes probably look more like his.
He actually wanted a daughter, but he didn't want Lu Zhixia to have any more children. One reason was her physical recovery, and another was that taking care of a child would be too exhausting.
It took them a year to raise the two little ones until they were old enough to be sold.
Cai Wei opened the door and came in, followed by her two children. Seeing that they were all home, she put the plastic bag on the table.
"I just bought some popsicles, come and eat some."
Lu Zhixia saw that her two sons' faces were flushed from the heat. Summers in the past few years have not been very pleasant, always hot and with little rain.
I wiped their faces with towels, then gave each of them an ice pop and told them to go play with it.
Cai Wei sat on a stool and complained, "It was so hot today. I had to keep walking and stopping to bring the child back."
Gu Lingxiao said, "Mom, if you feel tired, we can find a way to pick up the child ourselves."
Cai Wei waved her hand to interrupt, "Forget it! You're all too busy. I don't trust others to pick up the kids. Just bear with it for another two years or so. Once they start elementary school, I won't have to worry so much, since the school is right at the door."
Lu Zhixia said, "The weather has been really hot lately. Otherwise, we can skip kindergarten for now and go when it's not so hot."
Cai Wei said, "That won't do. Children need to interact with others from a young age. Don't be fooled by their good grades now, which are better than their peers. If they don't integrate now, they'll have problems later."
Lu Zhixia thought that made sense, but she still insisted, "The dog days of summer are coming soon, so don't go when it's hot."
Cai Wei thought to herself that the dog days of summer were indeed very hot, so she accepted her daughter-in-law's suggestion.
"Okay, I won't send them off then. I'll stay home for half a month."
After they finished discussing it, they went back to cooking.
My family is quite large, so I cooked two pots of wontons, one in clear broth and one in spicy broth.
