Chapter 387 Lu Xiaolan has found a partner
In the evening, the army's transport vehicle brought back the three aunts and nieces. Li Yue'e had been waiting at the brigade headquarters early. When she heard the sound of the vehicle, she hurried out of the brigade office.
Seeing the two little ones getting off the vehicle, she ran up and picked up one in each hand: "Oh, my dear grandchildren, I miss you so much."
"Are you cold? Are you frozen?"
"I made mutton soup for you. Let's go home quickly and drink it to warm up our bodies." As she said that, she carried one in each hand and went home.
Lu Xiaolan: ...
Mom, didn't you see that I carried four luggage bags by myself?
Lu Qingan, who came out later, hurried over to help Lu Xiaolan carry two, and the father and daughter followed her home.
After arriving home, Li Yue'e asked the two children to go to the living room first, where there was a fire wall and it was warm. She went to the kitchen and scooped two bowls of mutton soup for the two of them. Both bowls were filled with half a bowl of stewed soft mutton.
After Lu Xiaolan put the things away, she joked, "Mom, what about me? I have nothing to drink."
"Go away, go away, you are so old, do you still need mom to help you? Go put it in the pot yourself."
It has been snowing these days. Lu Boming went to visit a few lonely elderly people in the brigade in the afternoon. Hearing the sound of a car, he knew that his two great-grandchildren had returned, so he hurried back.
Li Yue'e saw that everyone had returned, so she simply prepared the meal.
For dinner, we had noodles and stewed mutton soup. We also killed a chicken, stewed half of it with hazel mushrooms tonight, and kept the other half to stew chestnuts tomorrow.
Since last year, the trend has been relaxed. It is no longer the case that each family can only raise three chickens. Basically, every family can raise six or seven chickens, but they dare not raise too many, for fear that they will be cut off from the capitalist tail again.
However, being able to raise six or seven chickens has improved the farmers' meat problem. They no longer have to eat meat only two or three times a year. It is no longer a problem to kill a chicken every two or three months.
During the meal, Lu Qingan asked the two children, "Are you afraid to fly back by yourself?"
Lele shook his head, "No, mom has arranged everything, and the PLA uncle on the plane is also very nice."
"So good!" Lu Qingan smiled.
Although everything has been arranged, you still need to be brave and knowledgeable. Children of this age in the brigade don't even dare to take a bus from the commune to the county, unlike his two good grandsons who dare to fly back by themselves from south to north, across most of China.
"You started school this year, right?"
"Really?"
"How many points did you get?"
"97 points in Chinese and 98 points in arithmetic." Lele said.
Lu Qingan frowned slightly. He had seen the first-grade textbooks of the Dadui Primary School. Lele knew numbers when he couldn't even speak. The arithmetic of the first grade shouldn't be difficult for him.
How come he only got 98 points? Or are the textbooks of primary schools in big cities a little more difficult?
"Did you not examine the questions carefully? The arithmetic of the first grade should be very easy for you."
"Grandpa, we are in the third grade."
"What? You are in the third grade? Didn't you start school this year?" Lu Qingan was shocked. Did he remember it wrong?
"We skipped a grade. The teacher said we have mastered the textbooks for grades one and two, so we will go directly to grade three."
Lele's answer surprised not only the three elders, but also Lu Xiaolan.
Su Mo did not tell her family about An An and Lele skipping a grade when she wrote the letter. Lu Changzheng was the kind of person who only liked to praise his wife but not his children, so he did not tell them about it, so no one in the family knew about it.
"What? You skipped a grade? When did it happen?" Lu Xiaolan asked.
"Three days after school started."
"Oh? Oh... OK, hahaha..." After Lu Qing'an realized what was going on, he laughed happily. His good grandson really made him proud.
When he was reading the newspaper today, he saw a report about a child prodigy. The child prodigy was amazing. He was specially recruited into the university at the age of 13.
Now it seems that his two grandchildren are not bad either. They are in the third grade at the age of 6, and can go to junior high school at the age of 9. If they take a leap forward, they will have no problem going to college at the age of 13.
His old Lu family has also produced a child prodigy!
Lu Qing'an was very happy the whole night. He sent the children back to their home and hummed a song on the way back.
Li Yue'e also stayed with Lu Xiaolan in Lu Changzheng's house tonight. The two little ones slept in the east room, and she and Lu Xiaolan slept in the west room.
After settling down and waiting for the two little ones to fall asleep, the mother and daughter lay on the kang in the west room and chatted.
"Mom, did my sister-in-law come back by herself, or did my eldest brother pick her up?" Lu Xiaolan asked.
At that time, Liu Yuzhi and Lu Xingjun had another quarrel about Lu Fengqin's military service, and she returned to her parents' home. Lu Xingjun did not go to pick her up. Liu Yuzhi stayed at her parents' home for more than half a month, and she had not returned when Lu Xiaolan returned to school.
"Her parents sent her back, and they also gave me and your father gifts and apologized." Li Yue'e said.
Old Liu and his wife are indeed real people.
"Is she still making trouble after she came back? She won't start instigating Erya again, will she?"
"Why does she have to make trouble? Daya has gone to the army, and Erya and Guodong also go to school in a tractor. Besides, she has always been partial to Daya and Guoqiang, and Erya has never been close to her."
"Don't keep silent, Erya. Your grandfather said that Erya is the most opinionated one in their family. The girl is also working hard. In the final exam, she ranked second in the class. At this rate, she will definitely have no problem going to high school."
"Now your eldest brother has also begun to pay attention to Erya."
"Don't, don't pay attention to her and teach her bad things." Lu Xiaolan said.
Li Yue'e patted her, "Silly girl, your elder brother is not a bad person, he is just easily influenced. He will agree with some things after hearing them too many times. Recently, your grandfather has been reminding him from time to time, and he should be much more sober now."
"I originally thought that your second sister-in-law was a troublemaker, but I didn't expect your eldest sister-in-law to be like this."
"What's wrong with my second sister-in-law?"
"Nothing, your second sister-in-law has been obedient since Zhao Jiuxiang got into trouble. Maybe she has been hanging out with her fourth sister and her mind is clear."
"Lu Fubao found a partner before the New Year, and I heard that they will get married after the New Year."
"Ah? With Zhao Jiuxiang like this, is there anyone willing to marry into her family?"
Li Yue'e smiled, "Zhao Jiuxiang only cheated on his daughter, but he was very good to his son. She dared not say anything against Lu Fubao. Lu Fubao has also stood up for himself. I heard that the other party was his junior high school classmate. She had been married before, but the man she married was a bad man who liked to beat people, and she divorced later."
"Lu Fubao met them when he went shopping one time, and they started talking after a few interactions. He came to our brigade twice, and I ran into him once. He looked like a very distinct person." "
Xiaolan, you see, he is divorced, but he talked about marriage and got married again. You are not young anymore. If you meet the right person at school, you should talk about it..." Li Yue'e advised earnestly.
Lu Xiaolan listened in silence for a long time, and finally made up her mind and said, "Mom, I'm dating someone."
"...You can't be disappointed with marriage after getting divorced once..." Li Yue'e was still talking, and didn't react for a while. After digesting Lu Xiaolan's words, she immediately sat up.
"What? You're dating someone? Who is the other person? Where is he from? What does he do?"
