At night, the Lu family's house was brightly lit. Lu Bairen happily showed off to his old friends in the afternoon, leaving Hanhan with him and letting Lu Shiyi and Su Jin live alone.
In the Lu family's restaurant, Lu Bairen and Du Ruo sat in the main seats. Lu's father and mother also returned from work. The family had a rare opportunity to have a reunion dinner.
"Xiao Jin, when you go home next time, don't bring such expensive things with you. Just bring two jars of brewed wine." Father Lu drank a glass of monkey wine and felt that this was the best gift.
Lu Bairen glared at his son: "This is authentic monkey wine, do you think it's cheap?"
Uh uh uh!
Father Lu looked at the wine glass in his hand. He had heard that monkey wine was hard to come by, so he drank it himself.
"Is this the legendary Monkey Wine?!" Father Lu stared at the wine glass with wide eyes. Lu Bairen and Lu Shiyi, the grandfather and grandson, laughed and said, "Xiao Jin, this wine is precious. Don't give it away carelessly."
"Grandpa, Dad, I saved this little monkey's life. It gave it to me specially. There are still many hidden in the cave." Su Jin looked at the father and son and quickly comforted them. "I will bring them back to you next time I come back."
After hearing what Su Jin said, Mr. Lu sighed in his heart at the child's luck.
Monkey wine is brewed by monkeys. Unless there is a great favor for the monkeys, the monkeys will not give it up easily.
"Grandpa, the family doctor told us at noon that we can't drink too much. We can only drink one cup a day and two cups of tiger bone wine a week." Lu Shiyi looked at Lu Bairen and said.
"You also brought tiger bone wine? How many jars did you bring?" Father Lu thought of his old leader, whose health was damaged by the war and now needed tiger bone wine to treat it.
"There's only one jar, and it's all mine!" Lu Bairen glared at his son, "Why do you want everything?"
"I want to send some to the old leader, even if it's just a small bottle. The old leader can't get out of bed now!" Father Lu explained.
"Old Ning's legs and feet are not in good condition. Well, I'll pour some for him later." Lu Bairen thought of his old comrade-in-arms and hoped that he could feel better.
"Grandpa, there are two jars of tiger bone wine in the car. I was thinking of asking Ayi to deliver them to his former leader." Su Jin reached out and pulled Lu Shiyi.
"Grandpa, I'll just send it to Grandpa Ning later." Lu Shiyi knew that Su Jin wanted to do his best to at least make the lives of the elderly better.
Lu Bairen became more and more satisfied with Su Jin. This kid was not petty. He had some things of his own, and for Lu Shiyi's sake, he did not refuse.
"There are two jars of tiger bone wine left. I'm going to buy them as gifts." Lu Bairen and his father exchanged glances, and his father told Su Jin, "Tiger bones are hard to come by right now, and tiger bone wine is becoming increasingly scarce."
"Dad, I brewed this tiger bone wine specifically for Grandpa and you. I thought the elders had been in the army and had probably caught a cold, so tiger bone wine would be very good for your health." Su Jin immediately refused, "I definitely can't take any money."
Lu Shiyi echoed, "I'll go back and get the processed tiger bones from the old hunter."
"No, boss, you have to give the two children 2,000 yuan, and then the two jars of tiger bone wine can be given away. This jar of tiger bone wine is a gift from the children." Lu Bairen finally compromised.
Lu Shiyi also mentioned that Su Jin sent the tiger bone wine as a gift of filial piety, and it would be awkward for him to give money.
"Yes!" Father Lu agreed.
Su Jin was unanimously recognized by the Lu family. The elders of the Lu family were all very gentle and not as aloof as outsiders would say.
"From now on, you are also a member of the family. If you have something to tell your family, you can call back directly if Ayi is not at home." Seeing what Su Jin did, Lu Bairen immediately took her under the wing of the Lu family.
Only after GA's investigation could the Lu family fully trust Su Jin.
"Grandpa, there will be more people protecting Xiao Jin than those around me." After Su Jin translated half of the book, the person above her emphasized the need to protect her.
Lu Bairen was stunned for a moment: "So, you have to work harder. Only when you are in a high position can Xiaojin be safer."
Su Jin discovered that the Lu family was talking about Lu Shiyi and asked him to take better care of herself.
"Let Ayi take you to the shooting range tomorrow. At least you will have a weapon to protect yourself." Lu Bairen reminded Su Jin, "In times of crisis, you can protect yourself."
When the family was having dinner, Hanhan woke up and was taken out of the stroller by Su Jin. Lu Bairen woke up and Lu Shiyi was not too stupid. He tried his best to help Su Jin create favorable conditions for taking care of the baby.
"Hanhan, this is great-grandfather, great-grandmother, grandfather and grandmother." Lu Shiyi took Hanhan and pointed at the people in front of him.
Hanhan seemed like a smaller version of Lu Shiyi, causing Grandpa Lu's eyes to flash with disgust.
"Why does he look so much like you?" Lu Bairen said helplessly, "He'd look much better like Xiaojin. We have so many boys at home, we don't need one more."
Lu Shiyi stared at Lu Bairen and his head began to hurt.
"Grandpa, you dislike Hanhan so much. Aren't you afraid that the little guy will be unwilling to be filial when he grows up?" Lu Shiyi said helplessly.
There were too many boys in the family. When Lu Shiyi was born, Grandpa Lu thought it was a good thing because he thought a boy could inherit his career.
As the third generation of grandchildren were born one after another, Lu Bairen was having a headache. He always felt that the female population in the family was dominated by men and was weaker than women because of these brats, who had driven away all the girls who wanted to come to the family.
"Xiao Jin, don't listen to Ayi. Our family prefers girls who are sweet and soft. We want to send Hanhan to the military camp for simple training after he turns three." Du Ruo looked at the grandfather and grandson glaring at each other, and decided to come out and tell Su Jin about the matter.
Su Jin covered her mouth and laughed: "Grandma, Ayi has always hoped to have a daughter and even bought a lot of little dresses..."
"He was born a son, so he didn't do anything unreliable, right?" asked Lu's mother.
In front of Su Jin, he immediately told her about all the unreliable things that Lu's father had done. Su Jin was glad that Lu Shiyi was a reliable father.
"Our family is short of girls. Yan Xin is the only girl in Ayi's generation. She has been pursued since she was a child. Who would have thought that she would be kidnapped by the brat from the Ning family next door and sent to southern Guangdong to serve in the army." Upon hearing Lu's mother's disdain, Lu's father directly informed Su Jin of the family's situation. "Now, several married couples have given birth to sons..."
Su Jin laughed unkindly: "Dad, Ayi disliked Hanhan at the door of the delivery room. When he was one month old, Hanhan looked more like the one I gave him when I was a child..."
"It's becoming less and less like that now!" Lu Shiyi regretted.
He thought he had a little princess and showed off in front of the political commissar for a long time. After a son was born, Lu Shiyi immediately stopped.
"There must be some families in the compound that favor boys over girls. After seeing Hanhan's birth, they will come to your house to hold the child. They will probably come tomorrow. Don't hand Hanhan over to those people easily." Du Ruo restored the face of the grandfather and grandson.
