Chapter 246 I'm so happy
This year is the happiest year for the Lu family.
Second sister Lu's family, eldest sister's family, and the Fu family all came to celebrate the New Year.
The eldest and second sisters were busy in the outer kitchen, and Lu Xiang wanted to go in, but was chased out. She was told to chat with everyone else.
Lu Xiang is the youngest, and her parents spoil her and just let her eat melon seeds and chat in the house.
The children were chasing each other in the house.
Mother Lu and Father Lu were all smiling. They were used to being alone on weekdays, but today they saw the house so lively that they were so happy that they didn't know what to do.
I brought over all the things I couldn't bear to eat at home, such as candies, soda, cakes, and the gold coin chocolates that Lu Xiang had brought last time, and distributed them directly to the children.
Xiao Cailian said, "Oh, my dear, this good thing has been wasted. Don't give it to me!"
Mother Lu said, "I bought it for the children to eat."
The daughters-in-law of the Fu family quickly asked the children to say thank you to grandma and wish her a happy new year.
Unexpectedly, Mother Lu had already made preparations and gave red envelopes to each child. When they opened them, they found that each one contained five yuan.
She quickly said, "Auntie, this is too much!" and didn't let the children take any.
These children are also obedient and won’t take anything if they are not allowed to.
Mother Lu said, "It's not much, not much. This is for the child. It's not for you. Please don't tear it up!"
Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to accept it, thinking that they would have to return the favor more next time.
Soon the pig-killing dishes were served.
The men all gathered at one table to drink, and Father Lu was extremely happy. In the past, he had never had so many people accompany him when he wanted to drink.
Fu Qinhui doesn't drink much on weekdays, but when he came here, he started drinking with everyone.
Second Sister Lu said, "How much wine did you buy? I see Dad is happy, so I have to drink it all!"
Lu Xiang said, "If he likes to drink, buy him some later. This wine is good and won't make you drunk."
The house was bustling with activity, with children gathering together to drink soda and receive lucky money.
The women gathered at a table, and Lu Xiang secretly prepared a big red envelope for her second sister-in-law and eldest sister. Thanks to their help, the store was able to run so smoothly.
The others gave each sister-in-law a gold necklace in person, weighing about seven or eight grams.
Gold necklaces are hard currency no matter where they are. When she took out this necklace, everyone was stunned. They kept saying no, saying it was too expensive.
Lu Xiang said: "It's okay, I made some money this year."
Everyone said, "You earn a lot of money, but you also spend a lot. You need to buy a car and fill up the gas tank. How much does that cost? Don't buy like this next time!"
Lu Xiang nodded, and everyone accepted the necklace. Afterwards, everyone enjoyed their meal.
The smiles on Lu's mother and father's faces never stopped, and soon there was another knock on the door.
Lu Xiang sat closer and hurried out to open the door. When she opened it, she was surprised and asked, "Godmother?"
Fu Zhi had never returned since she left for the provincial capital that day. Even the dividends from the duck neck factory were deposited into her account by the accountant.
However, every time Fu Qinhui went to the provincial capital for business, Fu Zhi arranged for someone to receive him and took special care of him.
Fu Zhi also contributed to Fu Qinhui's successful business.
The couple thought they must say thank you when they met, but they never met again.
Fu Zhi saw Lu Xiang and smiled, "You haven't changed!" When she came, everyone found stools for her and added bowls and chopsticks.
Fu Zhi smiled and said, "Don't bother, I have a place that will do. I can smell the fragrance from far away!"
When Mother Lu saw her, she asked, "Why didn't you come back?"
Fu Zhi said, "I've been delayed by something in the provincial capital. I want to celebrate the New Year here. Let's stay in the same room tonight. Call Lu Xiang and we can chat in the evening."
Lu Xiang hummed: "I'm staying with my godmother today!"
Fu Zhi smiled and said, "I'm afraid Qin Hui won't be able to let go?"
Everyone laughed and said to Fu Qinhui, "Oh, so you're going to stay alone in your empty room today?"
Fu Qinhui said: "Yes, so I want to drink more with Dad!" His words made everyone laugh.
With more people in the room, it became hotter and hotter. We had no choice but to open the window a little to let in some air.
The hot pig-killing dish is served in a pot, and the staple food is flatbread and rice.
Mother Lu was a very down-to-earth person. She steamed several large pots of rice. She said, "Let it all go, but don't pretend, or you'll be hungry later!"
The men of the Fu family all said, "Aunt, don't worry, we can't be polite to such delicious food!" The men were bragging together.
The women talked about their children.
Lu Xiang was very curious about how Zhi would deal with her.
Fu Zhi sat next to Lu Xiang and ate the pig-killing dish, and said, "The pig-killing dish here is still the best!" After taking a bite, she felt warm all over, and she couldn't taste the same flavor anywhere else.
Mother Lu quickly said, "My pigs are fine too. They are fed with the best food. Who would be willing to feed them like this?"
She kept two of them specifically for her own consumption, and fed them more carefully. When she slaughtered them, the fat was snow-white. The butcher said that in all his years of slaughtering pigs, this was the first time he had seen such good meat.
Today the pot is full of meat, and the men are eating it with great pleasure. They eat the meat with big mouthfuls and drink a sip of wine, feeling very happy. They continue to chat. Oh, this kind of day has only been imagined in dreams before.
Lu Xiang asked, "Godmother?"
Fu Zhi asked, "What for?"
Lu Xiang asked, "What have you been doing all these years? Why haven't you come back?"
Fu Zhi said, "He originally wanted to come back, but something kept holding him back, so he never came back! I now have an idea: I want to open a supermarket."
Others didn’t know what a supermarket was, but Lu Xiang was surprised when she heard the word.
The concept of supermarkets had not yet appeared in China, but Fu Zhi had this idea in early 1984.
He is really not an ordinary person, no wonder he can become a big boss in the future.
She is so forward-thinking!
