Chapter 151 Lu Family’s New Year’s Dinner
The Lu family at this moment
Big red lanterns are hung high, exquisite and unique window grilles and paper-cuts are pasted all over the windows, and even festive couplets are posted on both sides of the door.
Because of the vacation, the Lu family courtyard is not as quiet as usual. At this moment, the courtyard is filled with laughter and joy from young and old.
Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu have two sons and one daughter.
The eldest son, Lu Yaozong, is the top leader of Beijing City. His wife, Qin Mengjie, is a well-known pillar of the art troupe. They have two daughters and one son. The eldest daughter, Lu Xingyue, got married a few years ago. Her husband is a capable subordinate of Lu Yaozong. The second son, Lu Yujing, has been with Mr. and Mrs. Lu since he was a child. He could distinguish between enemy and friendly positions and terrain layout before he learned to walk. The youngest daughter, Lu Xingning, is 18 years old and has just been admitted to the Journalism Department of Beijing University.
The second son, Lu Yaozu, has inherited his father's business and is currently the head of the 212th Regiment. His wife is Liu Qiyu, and they have two daughters, the eldest daughter Lu Xingqing and the second daughter Lu Xingyang, both of whom are already married.
The younger daughter, Lu Manxue, is a military doctor. Her husband, Bai Xuheng, is currently the director of a machinery factory. They have a son and a daughter. Their eldest son, Bai Zhe, is 20 years old and is a student at a military academy. Their younger daughter, Bai Shanshan, is 18 years old and is in her third year of high school, just like Jian Qingyi.
"Sister-in-law, it's almost noon. Why hasn't Yu Jing come back yet?" Lu Manxue turned her head and looked at the empty courtyard gate.
"They said there was an important meeting in the morning, so it should be over soon!" Qin Mengjie set the table with quick movements.
"Aunt, I heard that my brother Jing has a girlfriend. Is it true?" Bai Shanshan jumped to Qin Mengjie's side.
Hearing this, everyone who was chatting and laughing looked at Qin Mengjie, as if waiting for her answer.
Because Lu Yujing was the only descendant of the Lu family, and because of the special nature of his job, as soon as he became an adult, the whole family, young and old, began to arrange blind dates for him, especially Mrs. Lu, who never got tired of it.
A lady from a noble family, a beautiful girl from a humble family, a heroine...
As long as they were of the same age, good-looking and had a good personality, Mrs. Lu would collect them all.
But the eunuch was anxious, but the emperor was not.
No matter how much Mrs. Lu talked, she just said, "Let's talk about it when we have time."
When asked when he has time, he would say, "I don't have time recently."
Old Mrs. Lu had no idea what to do about it.
The blind date can only be postponed again and again.
When they heard that Lu Yujing had a girlfriend, everyone's eyes lit up.
"It's true. I've been pursuing her for several months, but the girl never agreed. It was only last month that your grandmother came out and coaxed the girl into agreeing." Qin Mengjie nodded with a smile.
"My brother Jing is pursuing her? How is that possible?" Bai Shanshan couldn't help but exclaimed.
Everyone was in disbelief.
It's no wonder everyone is making such a fuss. Lu Yujing gives people the impression of being cold, self-contained, distant, and reserved...
Even when Mount Tai collapses in front of you, you remain calm.
No one could imagine him desperately pursuing a girl.
"If you don't believe it, ask your grandma." Qin Mengjie nodded at Mrs. Lu who had just walked down the stairs.
"What do you want to ask me?" Old Mrs. Lu had a question mark on her face.
"Shanshan doesn't believe that it was her brother Jing who was pursuing her sister-in-law." Qin Mengjie said with a smile.
"Grandma, is this really the girlfriend that my brother Jing is pursuing?" Bai Shanshan stepped forward, took Mrs. Lu's arm, and pulled her to the sofa.
Everyone looked at Mrs. Lu with gossipy eyes, waiting for her answer.
"Really." Old Mrs. Lu smiled with wrinkles on her face.
"Grandma, is my brother's girlfriend very beautiful?" Lu Xingning also squeezed next to Grandma Lu.
"Anyway, we can't find anyone as handsome as him in this area." Old Mrs. Lu gave the most objective evaluation.
Everyone exchanged glances.
Maybe it’s because of good genes, the Lu family members’ looks are very resistant to aging.
In the compound, the Lu family is famous for their good looks.
When Mrs. Lu said, "There's no one as handsome as her in this area," she immediately piqued everyone's curiosity.
"Grandma, is my future sister-in-law from Beijing? Will my brother bring my future sister-in-law back to celebrate the New Year?" Lu Xingning turned into a curious baby.
Not only was she curious, but everyone present also had a lot of questions in their minds.
"It's probably difficult to bring someone from South City to celebrate the New Year this year. Your brother needs to work hard. Maybe next year your sister-in-law will be able to have the New Year's Eve dinner with us." When Mrs. Lu thought of her clever granddaughter-in-law, she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.
"Nancheng?" Bai Shanshan frowned. "Are Jing's girlfriend and Jing in the same military district? How did they know each other?"
I have to say, Bai Shanshan's words really touched everyone's heart.
"Yi Yi is in her senior year of high school, just like you, and will take the college entrance examination next year. As for how you met..." Old Mrs. Lu thought for a moment.
"It seems your brother Jing met her when he was on business in South City. He fell in love with her at first sight, but unfortunately the girl didn't like him. He pursued her for several months, but the girl didn't agree. In the end, I had to risk my reputation and drag her back home..."
Having said that, Mrs. Lu raised the corners of her mouth with considerable pride.
"Grandma, you...are...forcing...a little girl..." Lu Xingning frowned when he heard it.
Everyone's eyes turned towards Old Lady Lu and changed.
Realizing that everyone might have misunderstood, Mrs. Lu patted Lu Xingning on the arm.
"You little idiot, what are you talking about? I just want your brother and Yi Yi to develop a good relationship."
Everyone exchanged glances secretly.
Outsiders may not know how much Old Lady Lu wants to hold her great-grandson, but the Lu family must know it.
Bringing the girl home might not be without that kind of intention.
It’s just that the two parties involved didn’t think about it that way.
and……
With Lu Yujing's personality, he definitely wouldn't do something like getting on the bus first and buying a ticket later.
"What are you talking about? It's so lively." Old Master Lu came down from upstairs with a smile.
"They're talking about my brother Jing and his girlfriend!" Bai Shanshan said hurriedly.
"Has that girl Yi Yi arrived?" Mr. Lu's eyes lit up.
"No, what good things are you thinking about? It's New Year's Eve. People don't celebrate their birthdays at home. Why are they running here?" Old Mrs. Lu rolled her eyes at him.
"It's the New Year, what are you doing?" Mr. Lu said as a matter of course.
"Oh, by the way, it's Yi Yi's birthday. Did you give her a red envelope?"
"Oh! I really forgot about this." Old Mrs. Lu slapped her forehead.
"Didn't I tell you a long time ago?" Mr. Lu frowned.
"I packed it a long time ago, but I forgot to give it to Jingjing. I was busy getting food at that time and forgot about the red envelope." Old Mrs. Lu sighed.
"What should I say to you?" Mr. Lu also sighed.
They didn't show any expression when their granddaughter-in-law celebrated her birthday.
What kind of talk is this?!
"Didn't I forget that?" Old Mrs. Lu looked guilty.
