Chapter 38 What if you have a partner?
The Lu family’s old house.
Old Mrs. Lu had been sitting on the train for most of the day and was already exhausted. Old Mr. Lu came in carrying a basin of hot water.
"Soak your feet in hot water before going to bed, it will be more comfortable."
"I'll do it myself." Old Mrs. Lu didn't let the old man do it. He was a commander after all, and he would be laughed at if someone saw him.
"Just sit still."
Mr. Lu doesn't think there is anything shameful about washing his wife's feet. If he doesn't love his wife, what kind of man is he?
Looking at his wife's swollen ankle and thinking about what happened to her on the boat, the old man was filled with fear.
Who is Mrs. Lu? She immediately understood when she saw the old man's expression.
"Let me tell you, this matter is not Xiao He and Xiao Du's fault."
"They are all soldiers. If they are not allowed to go down to help when encountering such a situation, they will feel uneasy."
"I know."
The old man was angry, but he was not an unreasonable person. After Grandma Lu finished washing her feet, he quickly took the towel to help her wipe them clean.
"By the way, has your family received any phone calls or anyone come to visit you these days?"
The old man shook his head, "I didn't hear what the guard said."
"Oh..." Grandma Lu sighed. Why didn't she remember to ask for the girl's contact address at that time?
"Don't think too much. If she wants to contact us, she will."
"I'll say hello to the guards tomorrow."
"Go to sleep."
"Yeah." Grandma Lu nodded, "You should go to bed early too."
"knew."
The old man landed in the water that grandma had used to wash his feet, washed them clean, and then went to bed to rest.
His wife was not at home during this period, and the old man could not even sleep well because he could not hear the familiar snoring.
At noon the next day, Mr. and Mrs. Lu rushed back to the old house carrying the things they had bought last night.
When the old man saw his son and daughter-in-law carrying so many things, he was happy, but he still had to say a few words.
"You're here, why buy so many things?"
Father Lu didn't argue with him and leaned his glasses, "Dad, where's my mom? Is her leg feeling better?"
"It's nothing serious, it's just that the swelling on my ankle hasn't gone down yet. I'm sitting in the living room to rest now."
"Dad, you guys chat first. Shushu and I will go in first."
Mother Lu took the things from Father Lu's hands and took her daughter into the house first.
"Mom!" "Grandma!"
"Why are you here? Come, come, come and sit down."
"Mom, you guys chat first, I'll go to the kitchen to make two dishes."
Mother Lu is a good cook and she always shows off her cooking skills to her parents-in-law every time she comes home.
Knowing that her mother-in-law had sprained her leg, Lu's mother asked a colleague to get a certificate and went to the food station early in the morning to buy a few pork ribs with meat.
Simmer it on low heat now, and give it to the old lady as a snack in the afternoon.
"Grandma, are you feeling better?" As soon as Lu Yunshu sat down, he anxiously took the old lady's hand and asked.
"It's okay, grandma. Stop frowning."
Grandma Lu had been sitting there for the whole morning and was very bored. When she saw her granddaughter coming, she was so happy that she could hardly stop smiling.
"I heard from your grandfather that you applied for the drama academy in Shanghai?"
"How is it? The retest results are out."
"Grandma, guess." Lu Yunshu deliberately played a riddle.
"Why would we have to guess?" Grandma Lu couldn't help but laugh and said, "If you didn't pass the exam, your lips would be so pouty that you could hang a soy sauce bottle on them."
"No way!" Lu Yunshu would never admit it.
"Okay, okay, grandma, it was just a joke."
Grandma Lu narrowed her eyes and smiled. "It seems that there are a lot of candidates applying for the drama academy this time. The fact that you were able to pass the exam shows that you have a good foundation."
Knowing that her granddaughter has loved singing and dancing since she was young, Grandma Lu is sincerely happy for her.
"Grandma, you don't know how fierce the competition is this time!"
"Fortunately, I didn't underestimate the enemy."
Taking advantage of this free time, Lu Yunshu talked to Grandma Lu about what happened during the art exam.
Of course, she also had her own selfish motives, so she mentioned the fact that she and Lin Siqiao had performed together during the re-examination.
"Grandma, my friend dances really well!"
"I'll bring her to see you when I have the chance. You will definitely like her."
It was the first time that Grandma Lu heard her granddaughter praise a girl like this.
"Oh, then bring it back when you have time."
"Grandma, can I ask you for a favor?"
Relying on his grandmother's favor, Lu Yunshu struck while the iron was hot and started talking about the house.
After listening to this, Grandma Lu neither agreed nor disagreed.
The house is indeed empty now, but Grandma Lu and Grandpa Lu have already discussed the whereabouts of the house.
They had only three sons and one daughter in their life.
The elder Lu Boqian, also known as Lu's father, is currently serving as the deputy secretary of the municipal government, and Lu's mother Yao Xue'an is the director of the obstetrics and gynecology department of the Municipal People's Hospital.
The couple had a son and a daughter, named Lu Jianchuan and Lu Yunshu.
The second son, Lu Zhonghuai, and his wife are both military personnel. Lu Zhonghuai is currently serving as deputy division commander in the Jinling Military Region, and his wife Fang Minjia is the director of the art troupe.
The couple has two daughters and one son. Lu Yunduo and Lu Yunchuan are twins, a boy and a girl, and Lu Yunshi is the youngest daughter.
The third son, Lu Shuping, settled in Beijing and worked in scientific research. His wife, Fu Jinglan, worked as a second-class secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
They also have a son and a daughter, Lu Yunshuang and Lu Qingchuan.
The youngest daughter, Lu Jiying, married in Jiangcheng. This time, Grandma Lu went to Jiangcheng specifically to visit her youngest daughter.
Normally, the second and third sons are busy with work and may not be able to return to Shanghai during the holidays.
The task of taking care of Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu naturally fell on the eldest wife.
A few years ago, when several of his children returned to Shanghai, Mr. Lu announced their decision in public.
After they passed away, the family's cash was divided into four parts, with each family getting one share, including the married daughter.
As for the two-story building they live in now and the other small house, they will be left to the eldest son in the family.
The other three families already felt that they had not been filial to their parents over the years and felt very guilty, so naturally they had no objection to this matter.
Grandma Lu has already thought it through. When her eldest grandson gets married, she will give the house to them as their wedding house.
Although this brat doesn't even have a partner at the moment.
But what if it happens?
