Chapter 288 Lele’s Doubts
Lele woke up because he had drunk a lot of water at night and wanted to pee. He sat up, rubbed his eyes and shouted, "Mom, I need to pee."
The couple was startled. Su Mo rushed over and put away the pear tree as quickly as possible, but Lele still saw it.
Lele rubbed his eyes several times and was a little confused. "Mom, I just saw a tree here, and there are fruits on it, which seem to be pears."
Su Mo laughed and said, "No, you just woke up and your eyes are blurry."
"Come on, pee quickly, and then go to sleep." Lu Changzheng quickly brought the child's potty over and let Lele pee.
After he finished peeing, Su Mo held him and lay down to coax him to sleep.
"Mom, I really saw it." Lele didn't want to sleep, he was sure that he didn't see it wrong. The little guy had been trained by Commander Xu for more than half a year, so he still had some confidence.
"But Mom has been here the whole time, and didn't see it. It must be Lele who saw it wrong." Su Mo saw Lu Changzheng coming back after emptying the urine pot, and asked him, "Dad, did you see it?"
"I didn't see it either." Lu Changzheng agreed.
"But, Mom, didn't you say that there are some things that only children can see."
Su Mo:...
Damn it! If I had known, I wouldn't have told him those mythological stories.
"Mom, what do you think, could it be the pear fairy? Knowing that Lele likes to eat pears, did she come to see me specially?" Lele's eyes were shining, and his little head was already imagining.
Su Mo's mouth twitched. Pear Fairy?
Lu Changzheng looked at Su Mo in confusion. What did his wife tell the children? Why did this kid always have some weird ideas?
"There is no Pear Fairy. Lele saw it wrongly. This is the principle of light refraction. Lele just woke up and saw the light again. There was a moment of green in front of his eyes. It was not a tree?" Su Mo began to fool him and explained to Lele what light refraction was, trying to confuse him.
Lele seemed to understand, but not quite. She tilted her head and thought, "Why didn't Lele behave like this before?"
Su Mo saw Lu Changzheng wearing a green military uniform and quickly said, "Because Dad didn't stand under the light before, but he did just now, so you saw it wrong."
"Is that so?" Lele was still a little confused, but after all, she was still young, and after Su Mo's talk, she was a little sleepy. Su Mo coaxed her and she fell asleep again soon.
After Lele fell asleep, the couple didn't dare to be careless anymore, and tiptoed to the west room to pick pears. When
Lele woke up the next day, she remembered what happened last night and was still a little confused. Seeing An An was also on the kang, she secretly said to her, "Sister, I seem to have seen the pear fairy last night." Then she told her what happened last night.
After An An heard it, she understood.
Su Mo's special ability was not hidden from her. Sometimes when she was inducing labor, she would ask her to help spread the word. Lele was still young, and these things could not be known to him, otherwise with his small mouth, he might tell others one day.
"You are wrong, there are no fairies in this world." An An helped to cover up.
Lele was puzzled, "Really? But the stories mom told all involved fairies."
"You said it, they are stories. What is a story? Stories are things that happened a long time ago. They may have existed before, but they don't exist now."
"What about the fairies? Where did they go?"
"They were knocked down, they don't exist anymore." An An said, "My eldest cousin and his friends came over just now, hurry up, you promised to tell them stories last night."
"Yes!" Lele remembered that he had promised Lu Guoqiang and his friends last night, so he quickly got up and put on his clothes.
Children nowadays have neither TV to watch nor comic books to read, so their minds are very poor. Unlike Lele, Su Mo would tell him stories, his family bought a TV, and he studied with Commander Xu, so his horizons were broader than those of teenagers in the countryside.
So even though he is the youngest, his cousins may not know as much as he does.
After dinner last night, Lele told stories to his cousins, and the children were fascinated. After making an appointment with Lele to tell stories again today, he was willing to go back to bed. Today is Sunday, and the children don’t have to go to school. Early in
the morning, Lu Fengqin brought her younger brother and sister over. Lele was still sleeping, so Su Mo asked them to stay on the kang in the west room, gave them some snacks, and gave them a few An An Le Le picture books to read.
Lele got up and quickly asked Su Mo to help him wash up. He quickly finished his breakfast and went into the west room.
In the morning, Li Yue'e brought some steamed buns over, and Su Mo heated them up, cooked an egg for each of them, and made a cup of milk powder for the two kids as breakfast.
Li Yue'e brought a lot of things over and prepared to make dumplings at Su Mo's place.
The children were all here, and the fire wall here was connected to the stove, so they just made the dumplings here to save firewood.
The three of them were mixing the stuffing, and when Lele came in, he started to tell a story. He told it very fluently and with rhythm. Li Yue'e was fascinated as she listened in the living room.
Su Mo also smiled as she listened. This kid has the potential to be a storyteller. And she found that the version Lele told was his adapted version, which sounded more suitable for children.
When Lele finished speaking and took a break, Li Yue'e sighed: "This smart child is different. Daya is already in her teens, and she will definitely not be able to say a word if you ask her."
"Mom, this cannot be compared." Lu Xiaolan said, "An An Lele has the third sister-in-law to teach her, and Uncle Su is a teacher at the university. He teaches by example, so he is better than ordinary children."
"In addition, Commander Xu sends someone to pick them up to study every other day. Children raised in this way are not comparable to country children."
"Who is Commander Xu? How did he become a godparent to An An Lele?" Speaking of this, Li Yue'e was curious. Before, Lu Changzheng only mentioned it in a letter, saying that An An Lele became a godparent to Commander Xu.
"Commander Xu is amazing, that's it." Lu Xiaolan gave a thumbs up.
"Compared to the division commander, who is more powerful?"
"The division commander's leader's leader, the top leader of the military region, the most powerful in the entire unit."
"Oh!" Li Yue'e was shocked. She didn't expect that he was such a powerful leader. In her opinion, the division commander was already powerful enough. "How could such a powerful leader be interested in two children?"
Lu Xiaolan told Li Yue'e what happened at that time, and Li Yue'e was instantly heartbroken.
"Is the child hurt? An An..." Li Yue'e said, her eyes were red.
It is especially difficult for a child without support. If he is bullied, he has to hurt himself to seek justice. If the family had some background, the little bully would not dare to bully the two children like this.
Four or five boys beat her up, how painful it must be!
Seeing Li Yue'e like that, Su Mo hurriedly said: "Mom, it's okay, we took her to the hospital for examination at that time, and there is nothing wrong. It can be considered a blessing in disguise. With Commander Xu as their godfather, you don't have to worry about your future."
Li Yue'e thought about it and it seemed to be true, so she said: "The two children are like you, you are blessed."
At noon, Lu Changzheng drove the army car back. Su Mo heard the sound of the car and hurried out.
The couple got on the back carriage, Su Mo quickly took the fruits and vegetables and put them in the basket inside, and then followed Lu Changzheng to move into the house.
They had discussed yesterday that it was better to move early rather than late, so early this morning, Lu Changzheng went to the army, saying that he was borrowing the car to buy things, but in fact he was borrowing the excuse to take things out.
Li Yue'e was very surprised to see the two of them carrying a few baskets of vegetables and pears back, "Lao San, where did you get these?"
"The army is not evenly distributed. Grandpa has been coughing, so it's good to eat some pears. I'll take a basket over later, cut it into small pieces, and give more to Grandpa." Lu Changzheng explained.
"Xiao Mo is a good cook. Let's cook for Grandpa here, and I'll bring it over later. You're sick and can't eat. How can you get well?"
Li Yue'e wanted to say no, but then she thought that Su Mo's cooking was better than hers, so she didn't refuse, "Then I'll bring some more food over later."
Besides, she always felt that with Xiao Mo back, Grandpa should be able to get through this. It's hard to say why, it's just a gut feeling.
Su Mo took a few pears, washed them, and brought them over to the children. Lele saw the pears and blinked thoughtfully.
Li Yue'e and Lu Xiaolan also washed one each and ate it. Li Yue'e took a bite and said, "This pear is really sweet."
"I guess it's shipped from the south. Pears in the south are very sweet." Lu Xiaolan said.
In Guangzhou, most of the fruits eaten at home were "bought" by Su Mo on the way home from work, so in Lu Xiaolan's impression, the fruits in the south are abundant and taste better than those in the north.
After the buns were steamed, Li Yue'e kept half of them here and took the rest home. Lu Xiaolan rarely came back, so she didn't eat here and went back with her mother. After
lunch, Su Mo went to the car and put a basket of rice and wheat that were grown by supernatural powers in each basket, so that Lu Changzheng could take them to the processing plant of the commune for processing.
From staple food to vegetables, they prepared food containing organic matter for Lu Boying. After all, they would only stay here for twenty days at most, and they had to make their grandfather get better as soon as possible.
That night, Lu Boying's meal was cooked here, and Lu Changzheng brought it over.
After eating ginseng soup and food containing supernatural powers for two or three days in a row, Lu Boming's condition improved significantly. He could hardly get up before, but now he can sit for several hours a day.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Lu Qing'an was even more happy.
When he went to bed at night, he said to Li Yue'e: "Dad probably just missed the third brother and the others. You see, his illness started to get better as soon as he came back."
Li Yue'e said, "Yes, the lucky person in our family has come back, and Dad's illness will naturally get better."
There are some things Li Yue'e didn't say because she didn't know how to explain.
Last time Dad was very ill, Xiaomo also sent food every few days, and later with the wild ginseng, Dad's illness got better. This time, the illness got better after eating the food cooked by Xiaomo.
She couldn't figure it out, and could only explain that the blessings of a blessed person will be contagious. This Xiaomo is the lucky star of her Lu family.
After Lu Boming's condition improved, Su Mo asked the two children to accompany him and make him happy. Lu Boming was probably depressed because of his guilt, and a bad mood was not good for his recovery.
In less than a week, Lu Boming could get up and go out to eat.
The first and second wives also thought it was magical.
"Do you think that the third brother's wife is really a lucky star? Every time she comes, grandpa's condition gets better." Liu Yuzhi asked Lu Xingjun, "Or do they have wild ginseng?"
"I don't think so. If they really have wild ginseng, can't they just send it back? Why spend a few hundred dollars on travel expenses to come back?" Lu Xingjun said.
A piece of wild ginseng costs only a few hundred yuan. He finally came. The third brother's family spent about 400 yuan for a trip, and 800 yuan for a round trip. His family doesn't have 800 yuan in savings yet. Only the third brother has a high salary and can afford it.
"I guess grandpa's illness is not serious, but it just looks scary. The third brother's family and Xiaolan are back, and grandpa is in a good mood, so he will naturally get better."
Liu Yuzhi nodded, "That's right, look at how coaxing Lele is. Grandpa has been laughing these days."
Lu Changzheng went to the army during the day to help Tao Peisheng train the soldiers. The training received by the special team is far beyond that of ordinary troops. Tao Peisheng specially invited Lu Changzheng to come and open everyone's eyes.
Although they are logistics troops, they have to be prepared at all times. The situation with foreign countries is tense now. If there is a war in the motherland, the front-line troops are the first echelon, and they are the second echelon.
He must ensure that his soldiers can fight at any time!
Lu Changzheng is still very good at leading troops. In just two or three days, he mobilized everyone's bloodiness, and the morale of the entire regiment has not only risen to a higher level.
"You are really good. It seems that you have learned a lot over there." Tao Peisheng punched Lu Changzheng.
"You are not bad either. I heard that the mining tasks are always completed in excess." Lu Changzheng said.
"I have to find something for myself to do." Tao Peisheng smiled, and there was some bitterness in his smile. It took him a long time to adapt to the logistics position.
It's a pity that his legs and feet are useless. Whenever he walks for a long time, it hurts.
"I heard from my wife that your partner is her friend. When do you want to get married?"
Tao Peisheng originally planned to get married after the Chinese New Year, but then he thought that Lu Changzheng and his family had just returned, and if the partner was willing, they could get the marriage certificate during this period and let Lao Lu also attend his wedding.
Tao Peisheng was also impatient, so he immediately called Ma Xiaojuan. Fortunately, Ma Xiaojuan was not a person who paid attention to details, so she agreed.
After Tao Peisheng came back, he said cheerfully, "We'll get married in two days. We'll set up a few tables here. Remember to bring your sister-in-law to the wedding."
Lu Changzheng: ...
After Lu Changzheng came back, he told Su Mo that Tao Peisheng and Ma Xiaojuan were getting married. Su Mo was very surprised. After she came back, Ma Xiaojuan and Jiang Yue came to talk to her several times, but she never mentioned it.
"She came to chat with me this morning, but I didn't hear her mention it."
When Lu Changzheng explained the situation, Su Mo was also very speechless. Are
soldiers
always in such a hurry to get married? She and Lu Changzheng were in such a hurry to get married, and it could be said that it was because of Lu Boying's health. Tao Peisheng was also in such a hurry to get married just to let his brothers drink. She found it a little difficult to understand the straight man's thinking.
Seeing Su Mo's expression, Lu Changzheng knew what she was thinking and explained: "They are not in a hurry. They have been talking for more than half a year. It's time to get married."
