Liang Ying and Cai Lijie became anxious.
They've worked so hard to get to where they are today. If this Comrade Lu goes back and tells those two brothers that they were plotting against them, how will they ever be able to enter the upper echelons of society?
Absolutely not.
Damn it, it's all Cui Miaona and Zhang Qingqing's fault.
The two ignored Lu Fan and left in a hurry.
The troupe has a day off today, but they already know that the two brothers always stay in the troupe and don't go home during their days off, so they must seize the opportunity today.
As long as it's done, what does it matter what Comrade Lu said? Not wanting to take responsibility is just being a scoundrel.
Lu Fan shook his head and chuckled.
They've practically jumped the abacus beads onto someone's face! Do they really think the Lu family is pushovers? You think you can get into the Lu family just by scheming?
hehe.
Cui Miaona and Zhang Qingqing were both relieved.
It's not that he's interested in Liang Ying and the others; I think Comrade Lu will remind his brother.
Zhang Qingqing has relatives living in the compound and has heard that the Lu family has a very good family tradition. She doesn't want certain restless people to disturb the peaceful life of the heroic predecessors.
"Comrade, we'll be going now." She waved to Zhou Shi.
"Sister Kaixin, my full name is Zhou Shi, my nickname is Shishi, and I'm not called 'Comrade'."
“Zhou Shi? The poet’s poems?” Zhang Qingqing’s eyes lit up.
"Poetic and picturesque Shi." It's a beautiful name, and Shi Shi always remembers her patriarch's introduction.
"Haha, it's the same. We've got it. See you again sometime." Zhang Qingqing waved again, looking quite pleased with herself.
"Goodbye." Shishi waved back, returning the gesture.
"Qingqing, you said your aunt's adopted daughter is also named Zhou Shi, could it be her?"
"It shouldn't be. My aunt is on an island. I must have come all this way with her. I haven't heard that my aunt has returned to Beijing."
"That's true, they might just have the same name."
Xie Lin nudged his brother with his elbow.
"Should we make a call? Those two might try something when they get back."
Lu Fan shook his head and glanced at Zhou Shi, "They need to see the person first. Grandma told them to go home; they should be on their way."
Xie Lin thought of what Grandma Lu had mentioned about dinner last night; she really intended to let the whole family get to know the little girl.
Good!
The little incident didn't affect their trip; in any case, Shishi had a great time taking photos.
I had just gotten home after playing all day when Grandma Lu came to call me.
Last night her legs inexplicably felt better, and they didn't flare up today. They felt warm instead of cold, and she even suspected that they had healed themselves without any medicine.
Although she knew it was impossible, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all, so she just took it as a fact.
Being healthy makes me feel light and carefree, and I even find all those single men pleasing to the eye.
"Shishi, Chou Chou, Xiao Kong, Xiao Feng, come here, let Grandma introduce you. This is Grandpa Lu, these two are Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu, and these two are Second Uncle Lu and Second Aunt Lu."
Xie Lin was an acquaintance, so we simply ignored him.
The four of them greeted everyone one by one.
Coming from a military family, having traversed mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the old man exudes an aura of authority that commands respect without a hint of anger.
He was stern and rarely smiled, and his family had strict rules. His two sons, both soldiers, inherited this trait and both had serious faces, making them veritable "devil kings" in the military.
At the old lady's insistence, the three grown men forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.
The two daughters-in-law were lively and didn't have the airs of wealthy ladies. One of the children gave them a red envelope as a greeting.
When it was the younger generation's turn, the eldest son's two children were Lu Fan, whom everyone knew and needed no introduction, and Lu Ran, who was still in college.
He was quite capable, and his success was not due to his family's power, but rather to the hard work he put in to secure a place at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University—a genuine diploma.
He didn't inherit his grandfather's and father's serious faces, nor was he as upright as Lu Fan; he had a bit of a roguish charm.
But he was born fair-skinned, had not been beaten by society, and still had an innocent smile. At this moment, he deliberately put on a serious face and pretended to be calm.
He pulled out four red envelopes, which were the royalties he received for submitting articles to the newspaper, and pretended to be a big brother in a serious manner.
"Here, take this pocket money and buy some snacks."
Coincidentally, his birthday is the same day as Shishi's. His birthday is at midnight, while Shishi's is at noon, a difference of 12 hours. He's also the older brother, so there's no way to argue with that.
Shishi accepted everything without question, regardless of whether he was an older or younger brother; anyone who paid was a good brother.
Finally, there were the two sons of the second wife. They looked quite mature and composed, but only the Lu family knew that they were just pretending, and that they had the hearts of three-year-old children.
Each person received two more red envelopes.
The Xiao family and the Lu family have a good relationship, and Old Mrs. Xiao is happy to see that her children are loved by the Lu family.
The food was prepared and everyone was seated. The Lu family wasn't large; Old Mrs. Xiao brought her four siblings and Xie Lin, plus Zhang Dong, making a total of 17 people, which was just enough for two tables.
Shishi was sitting opposite the two brothers from the second branch of the family, and she was staring straight at them.
Lu Xiao and Lu Chen: ? ? ?
"Little sister, is there something on my face?" Lu Chen's childish nature was immediately revealed as soon as he opened his mouth.
"His face isn't stained, but he's got a lot of unwanted romantic attention," said Stinky Egg.
Lu Fan had planned to tell his two younger brothers after dinner, but his sister-in-law spoke first. Seeing her serious expression, he didn't say anything and let her speak.
“There’s someone in your workplace who’s plotting against you and wants to marry you.”
The Lu family: There's such a thing?!
The two brothers were filled with anxiety. They hadn't even established themselves yet, so how could they get married?
"Little sister, where did you hear that?" Lu Xiao was a little more composed than his younger brother.
“We heard Cui Miaona and Zhang Qingqing arguing with them while we were playing. Xiao Fanzi was there too.”
She gestured with her chin toward Lu Fan.
Xiao Fanzi?
The Lu family members all stared intently at Lu Fan, wondering to themselves: When did you become a eunuch?
