Lu Shiyan had been in the army for a long time, so he naturally knew what Lu Xinian had done.
The man pursed his thin lips gently and held Gu Qingcheng's hand.
"Wife, he's grown up every year, and he knows what he wants to do."
Several other people from the Lu family also followed suit and offered some advice.
Gu Qingcheng sighed. She naturally understood this truth.
He picked up a piece of pancake and put it into Lu Xinian’s bowl.
"Okay, let's not think about these things anymore. Let's eat more every year. This is your favorite pie. I put more sugar in it because I know your taste."
Lu Xinian was touched and ate the bowl.
Lu Shiyan deliberately changed the topic to another direction, and the atmosphere at the dinner table improved.
After finishing his meal, Lu Xinian went upstairs to play with his younger brothers and sisters.
He even took out a few toys from his collection from his luggage and teased the children as if they were treasures.
Lu Mengmeng was not willing to be outdone, so she also went upstairs. She wanted to continue teaching her younger brothers and sisters. She didn't believe that her younger brothers and sisters couldn't call out!
…
Time flies, a few days passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye it was 1977.
The biggest event of this year is undoubtedly the college entrance examination.
Gu Qingcheng has already started reviewing systematically.
On New Year's Eve, according to custom, the whole family sat together and had a happy reunion dinner.
Mr. Lu raised his glass and said with emotion: "This is our first time to celebrate the New Year on an island!"
Father Lu took over the conversation: "That's right, Dad. This year is not only the first time to celebrate the New Year on the island, but also the time with the largest number of members."
The eight children are lined up in a row. They are now eight months old and can occasionally utter a word from their mouths. It is the most fun time.
Mother Lu looked at the children lovingly and said, "This is all thanks to Qingcheng! Our family was never so prosperous before. Ever since Qingcheng married into our family, everything has gone smoothly and we haven't encountered any problems."
Gu Qingcheng felt embarrassed by what he said.
She stretched her slender fingers to the side and deliberately hooked Lu Shiyan's bony fingers.
Men had no resistance to her to begin with, and her seductive actions made Lu Shiyan feel numb all over.
His eyes darkened and his Adam's apple rolled.
"Wife, what are you doing..."
The corners of Gu Qingcheng's lips curled up slightly.
"Shi Yan, the children are now more than eight months old. Isn't it time for them to learn to walk?"
Lu Shiyan thought about it and realized that it was true. A normal one-year-old child could walk.
Although their child is only eight months old, he is smart and has developed better than other children. Now he is sitting in a baby chair, turning around with his big watery eyes, so adorable.
Lu Shiyan nodded: "After the Chinese New Year, when they are nine months old, let them practice on the bed. Children are smart and will probably learn quickly."
Mother Lu felt sorry for the babies and said quickly, "They are only nine months old and they have to learn. Isn't it a bit..."
As soon as she said this, Father Lu pulled her hand.
Mother Lu naturally understood what he meant. Her son and daughter-in-law were not the kind of people who would do anything reckless. They must have their own reasons for doing so. She was really worrying too much!
She smiled helplessly. A loving mother often spoils her son. She was quite strict with Lu Shiyan when he was a child, so why is she so distressed about her grandson?
It really is the pain that comes from the previous generation!
Lu Mengmeng volunteered: "Mom, my brothers and sisters are the smallest in age, and I also had a lot of experience when I was learning to walk. I will pass it on to them when the time comes!"
"I can be their head coach!"
Gu Qingcheng was just about to give up, but then someone came to his door. There was no reason to refuse, so he nodded twice.
After saying this, he also gave Lu Shiyan some instructions.
"It's inevitable that children will fall when they first start walking. Take out all the quilts at home and let the children practice on them first. This way, even if they fall, it won't hurt."
Lu Shiyan nodded.
The family ate and chatted happily.
Suddenly, there was a soft "bang" sound outside the door, and fireworks quickly bloomed in the dark night sky.
Even on the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, the weather on the island was still not cold. When they heard the sound of fireworks, children from every household rushed out together, cheering and shouting, with surprise on their faces.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of firecrackers rang one after another.
Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.
Lu Mengmeng is usually afraid of thunder and the sound of firecrackers is quite loud. When she heard it, she was startled and quickly stood up and hid behind Gu Qingcheng.
"Mom! I'm afraid..."
Gu Qingcheng laughed and brought Lu Mengmeng to sit on his lap.
"Mengmeng, don't be afraid. The sound of firecrackers means that Mengmeng is one year older this year!"
Lu Mengmeng is about to turn six years old. Children always want to grow up. Now she is not afraid anymore and stands up bravely.
She is six years old!
Lu Mengmeng subconsciously focused her eyes on the eight children.
It’s true, this was the first time they heard the sound of firecrackers and fireworks, and Gu Qingcheng thought they would cry.
The surprising result was that everyone opened their eyes wide with curiosity, and the eldest even clapped his hands together, looking very excited.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
After all, he is a baby nurtured by the system, so it is normal for him to be a little bit abnormal.
Lu Shiyan took the opportunity to tease Lu Mengmeng: "See? Your brothers and sisters are not afraid. Mengmeng is six years old, but she still hides in her mother's arms."
Lu Mengmeng blushed and pouted her lips: "Who... who said I was scared! I'm not scared, I just missed my mom."
As she said that, she looked at Mother Lu and said, "Grandma, am I really brave?"
The three elders of the Lu family found the little girl's cover-up very funny, and naturally followed her words.
"Yes, Mengmeng won't be afraid."
"Come, take this red envelope."
The three elders took out the red envelopes from the bags one by one and gave them to Lu Xinian and Lu Mengmeng first.
Lu Mengmeng naturally knew that there was money in it, and the little guy's eyes lit up.
He ran to Lu's mother with his short legs and happily took the red envelope.
"Thank you, grandma."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
"Thank you, great grandfather."
"I wish you a long life and good fortune!"
Everyone: ...
There is an urge to take back the red envelope.
Lu Xinian also wiped the sweat from his forehead, thanked them one by one, and then began to correct them.
"May you live as long as the Southern Mountains and be as blessed as the Eastern Sea."
"Hehehe, it's almost there, it's almost there!"
Lu Mengmeng received the red envelope and didn't keep it in her hand for long. She walked to Gu Qingcheng and gave him the red envelope.
"Mom, red envelope!"
