Lu Tingting said, "Mom, you must be tired from walking all this way. Go back to your room and rest for a while. I'll cook dinner."
"Oh dear, you're someone who uses a pen, what are you going to cook? I'll cook for you later."
Lu Tingting opened the bag and said with a smile, "Brother, Sister Xuanxuan, Little Sister, these are millet buns made by my maternal grandmother. I brought them especially for Grandpa. You should try them too."
Lu Shengye and Lu Xiaomei acted as if they hadn't heard anything.
Lu Shengye went straight into the house to help Dian Dian and Fan Xing pack their things.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
Jiang Xuan said, "Thank you. Let's pack our things first and try it later."
"That's fine then. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No, you just got home, go and rest."
“I’m not tired, I’ll give the steamed bun to Grandpa.”
Lu Tingting nodded and walked towards the main house.
In the side room.
Wang Yingqiu was so angry that her stomach hurt.
These two siblings from the Lu family are really something.
She served them for so many years, and this is the kind of attitude she gets in return?
She felt so sorry for her daughter; how stifling it must be for her to live together like this.
Just then, Lu Tingting walked in.
Wang Yingqiu asked in a low voice, "What did he say?"
"Same as before, didn't say anything."
Wang Yingqiu snorted and said, "He can eat it or not, we've done our part. Even if he feeds it to the dogs, it's none of our business."
"Um."
"Judging from their appearance, they'll be moving out in the next couple of days. I don't know if your dad has told Lu Xiaomei yet. Once she moves out, that house will be yours."
"I'll listen to Mom."
"Do you remember what I said today? When you tutor her, don't just tutor her honestly. It's because she's stupid and can't learn it, understand?"
Lu Tingting smiled sweetly, "Don't worry, Mom, I know."
“I’ll take you shopping for clothes this Saturday. Look at Jiang Xuan, she’s already spending Lu Shengye’s money like crazy even before she’s married. The clothes she’s wearing, you can tell from the cut that they’re not cheap.”
"Um."
Wang Yingqiu's face revealed a confident smile. "I'll lie down for a bit. You go read your book."

After dinner.
Lu Shengye, Jiang Xuan, and the others left carrying large and small bags, and Wang Yingqiu finally felt relieved.
She quickly washed the dishes and went back to the side room to lie down.
She's almost 40 and pregnant, so she gets tired easily.
After a while, Lu Peian came in.
Wang Yingqiu turned over and said softly, "Have you eaten? I saved some for you, I'll go heat it up for you now."
"No need, I've already eaten in the cafeteria. Have Ono and the others left?"
"Yeah, I just finished eating and left. They said the person who sold me the bed wanted to help with the installation or something, so I couldn't stay too long."
"Mmm." Lu Pei'an took off his shoes, lay down, and unbuttoned his collar.
It's so hot! It's only a kilometer or two from the military region, but he was covered in sweat.
Wang Yingqiu got out of bed. "I'll go get you a towel to wipe your sweat."
Lu Pei'an grabbed her hand and said, "You're so heavy, lie down and rest. I can do it myself."
"It's alright."
Wang Yingqiu washed the towel in the water, took it and helped dry her husband, saying softly, "We haven't been back for a long time, and my mother insists that we stay a few more days."
“Now that it’s summer vacation, you can actually stay a few more days and spend time with the elderly.”
"How could that be? Tingting said that the summer vacation in the second year of high school is like gold, and she wanted to read more books. Besides, she also promised to tutor her younger sister, so she rushed back."
Upon hearing this, Lu Pei'an became angry. "Let Tingting focus on her studies. As for her, she's hopeless and doesn't need our help."
"Don't be angry, the child hasn't figured it out yet."
Thinking about the house, Lu Pei'an said, "Now that Diandian and Fanxing have moved out, let Tingting move into that house."
Wang Yingqiu was dissatisfied. The room had bunk beds and was filled with all sorts of odds and ends, including Lu Shengye's mother's sewing machine.
This doesn't look like a place for learning.
But she couldn't find a reason to refute it, and she was afraid that Lu Pei'an would get angry.
Moreover, Lu Pei'an must have had no choice but to say that.
In this house, there's an old man, but he hardly gets to speak.
"That's fine, I'll tell Tingting later."

At the same time.
Jiang Xuan and Lu Shengye have arrived at their new home.
The deliveryman has arrived, and the three beds are placed in the courtyard.
There are two households in their courtyard, and from the outside, they look like the same house.
Between the two houses is a shared kitchen.
In the opposite corner, there is a toilet.
The toilet door was locked, and there was no smell, so it seemed to have never been used.
Summer nights are dark quite late; even though it was past seven o'clock, the sky was still bright.
The other house had its door tightly shut and there was no sound; they probably hadn't returned yet.
Jiang Xuan walked into the house.
The room was indeed quite clean and bright, with cement walls and tiled floors, but it was empty and had very little furniture.
Lu Shengye helped the craftsman carry the bed in. The bed was already made, but the headboard needed to be assembled.
Jiang Xuan was planning how to decorate the house.
The repairman took the screw out of his mouth and said, "Your house is quite big. If you need to buy other furniture later, come back and I'll give you a discount."
"Okay. Master, let's put this bed in this room."
"I can also help you contact suppliers for pots, pans, and kitchen utensils."
"good."
The craftsman was used to doing these things and quickly assembled the bed. Jiang Xuan wanted to pour a glass of water for them, but there was nothing at home. Her younger sister brought a cup and a thermos, but they hadn't started cooking yet.
"Master, I'm sorry, we don't even have any water at home."
"It's alright, I'll be going now. Contact me if you need anything. I'll be setting up a stall at the entrance of the courtyard for the time being. If I'm not there, you can find me at the Gu Ning Furniture City. My surname is Liu."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Liu." Jiang Xuan took out fifty cents. "Mr. Liu, you've worked hard. Let me treat you to some water."
"No need, no need, I'll drink it when I get back."
After Mr. Liu left, Jiang Xuan went into the room and tried out the bed, which was quite sturdy.
Lu Fanxing took out paper, pen, and small scissors from her small schoolbag and squatted down by the bed to start drawing.
Lu Diandian wasn't very studious, but there was nothing to play with at home, so she wandered around aimlessly.
"Dad, can I go out and play for a bit?"
"It's too late today, and you're not familiar with this area, so we won't go out."
"But it's so boring. If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have moved here today. I could have gone to the family compound to hang out with Xiaojun and Fanfan."
Jiang Xuan: "Didn't you guys have a craft project tonight? Why aren't you doing it?"
"It's so boring. I make the same few things every day. I'm so tired of it."
Jiang Xuan was both amused and exasperated. "You're only a few years old, and you're already this annoying. What will you be like when you go to elementary school and have homework every day? Won't you be driven crazy by it?"
Lu Shengye took out a mattress from the large bag and prepared to lay it out.
"Wait a minute, did you bring a rag?"
