The silly third brother Lu was quite happy. His uncle had suffered too much in his life. If he and Aunt Meng could get together, then he and Yanyan would really become siblings. That couldn't be better.
Meng Fuyan bought roast duck today, and when she came back, she saw Lu Xingming playing with Meng Yunji in the yard. In the kitchen, her parents were cooking and tending the fire, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Third Brother, I bought roast duck and lots of other dishes. Let's have a big lunch together."
Lu Xingming loves meat the most, much like Meng Fuyan; they're both carnivores. Seeing so much meat, his eyes lit up. "Great! Fuyan, your cooking is the best! How about... you take charge?"
He coveted his sister's cooking skills.
Meng Fuyan smiled knowingly, "Alright, come and start the fire."
She carried the basket to the kitchen and called out, "Mom, Uncle, you two go out and rest, I'll take care of it."
So, Lu Xingming and Meng Fuyan took over the kitchen work, while Meng Suqin and Lu Guozhong went to the courtyard.
"Yunji!" Meng Fuyan called out, "Go buy a bottle of soy sauce."
"knew!"
Hearing her sister's call, Meng Yunji, who was playing, immediately grabbed the money and ran out of the yard.
This is a courtyard house, a house that Lu Guozhong specially found for them. There is a supply and marketing cooperative not far away, so they can just go there to buy whatever they need.
Now only Lu Guozhong and Meng Suqin are left.
Lu Guozhong felt very comforted. Sure enough, his daughter was a thoughtful little cotton-padded jacket. She really knew how to consider her father and give him time alone with his wife.
So, he pulled Meng Suqin into the house to whisper to her.
Lu Xingming craned his neck to look, then smiled broadly. "Yanyan, my uncle and your mother seem to have hit it off. Why don't we find someone to play matchmaker and get them married soon?"
In other families, parents arrange the weddings for their children; in their family, the children arrange the weddings for their elders.
This is incredible!
Meng Fuyan also felt that the time was about right.
Dad really cared about Mom. Although her previous marriage was an organizational task, he didn't do anything to ruin Mom's image.
After all that was over, I continued to keep in touch with the Meng family through my nephew and the ancestral connections of both families. We met a lot and got along well, so it was normal to find someone to arrange a marriage between us in those days.
