Chapter 364: Family members are excited
after watching the news Shi Tingyu and Shi Muhan didn’t plan to have dinner at the Wu family, so they said goodbye and left when it was past four o’clock.
The old couple of the Wu family wanted to keep them for dinner, but Shi Tingyu had to refuse on the grounds that he had other things to deal with.
There were only two old people at home, and they didn’t have the heart to let them run around to entertain them, otherwise they wouldn’t have come after lunch this time.
Only after sending the brother and sister away did the old couple go back into the house.
Wu Daocheng couldn’t help but sigh that Teacher Shi was a lucky man.
Grandma Wu sighed and said, "Why are all the good girls from other families? You said our Yanzhi is not bad, but why can't he find a marriage partner?"
Wu Daocheng saw his wife's lost look and comforted her, "I will talk to Yanzhi when he comes back next time. He is not young anymore and it is time for him to get married."
Grandma Wu glanced at him and said, "You said it, I remember it. If you are fooled by that boy in a few words, I will turn against you."
At this moment, Wu Daocheng didn't know whether his words of comfort were right or wrong.
Shi Tingyu and his sister did not rush back to the hotel, but went to the station to buy tickets. Shi Muchan watched from the side. He had not planned to return to Jinling, but suddenly changed his mind.
When Shi Tingyu asked for a sleeper ticket, he said to the ticket seller, "I want two
." The ticket seller looked at the two of them and said, "Are you sure?"
Shi Muchan said, "Yes, two tickets."
After getting the two tickets, the brother and sister left the station.
Shi Tingyu then asked, "Brother, aren't you going back to the camp directly? Why do you want to go back to Jinling?"
Today is March 9th, and Shi Muchan's vacation will end on March 25th, with more than ten days in between. Originally, Shi Muchan thought that since he had already arrived in Beijing, he would not go back to Jinling, but when buying the tickets, he suddenly felt worried about his sister being alone.
You know, tonight's "News Broadcast" is expected to reveal the news that his sister is in Beijing. What if someone is eyeing her?
To be on the safe side, he decided to go back and continue his vacation.
But he didn't say that when he talked to Shi Tingyu. He just said, "I thought about it. It takes two years to get a family visit leave. There are still more than ten days left. It seems a bit of a loss to go back now. I'd better go back to Jinling and rest for a few more days."
Shi Tingyu smiled, and she saw through it but didn't say it. She probably still worried about her safety.
It was okay when she was still in the winter vacation, and her brother was not bored. But her parents went to work after the Chinese New Year, Lu Weiguo was also working, and she also started school. If her mother-in-law hadn't come back some time ago, there would be no one at home during the day.
Going back under such circumstances, what else could it be if not for her.
Faced with her brother's kindness, Shi Tingyu still smiled and agreed.
The hotel they stayed in did not have a TV, so the two did not watch the "News Broadcast" that night, but they did buy a newspaper the next morning.
At seven o'clock in the evening on the 9th, the Lu family of Jinling Family Courtyard turned on the TV on time to watch the news.
Not long after, the news reported on the commendation meeting.
Mother Lu held Shen Shen in her arms and sat in front of the TV. Her breathing became much lighter, and her heart beat like a drum.
Lu Weiguo said nothing, staring at the TV without blinking.
Soon Shi Tingyu's face appeared on the TV. Lu Weiguo couldn't help but clench his hands a little tighter. Seeing that his wife behaved very appropriately throughout the whole process, he couldn't help but feel proud.
Mother Lu had already put Shen Shen down because she felt that she was having difficulty breathing. Her hands were shaking with excitement, and she could hardly hold the child.
After a long while, she found her voice again, "Weiguo..."
Lu Weiguo hummed with a hint of doubt, but his eyes were still fixed on the TV screen.
Lu's mother did not look away, but just said: "Our Xiaoyu is really promising."
"Yes." Lu Weiguo replied.
Lu's mother finally couldn't help it and slapped Lu Weiguo on the back, "I said, can't you say a few more words?" She
really didn't understand her excitement at all.
Lu Weiguo said that he was innocent.
Because Lu's mother slapped Lu Weiguo, her hands stopped shaking instantly, and her eyes were focused on the TV again.
It was not until the footage of Shi Tingyu disappeared that Lu's mother said excitedly, "The old Lu family's ancestral tomb is smoking. It's really smoking."
Lu Weiguo smiled and looked gentle. He felt heartbroken and proud when he saw his wife appear on TV without any stage fright.
Deep in his heart, he also had a secret regret.
He regretted that he couldn't be with his wife at such an important moment.
Not to mention this time, but also the last painting competition.
Just when Lu Weiguo's mind was wandering, Lu's mother suddenly said, "This footage is too short. I have to get up early tomorrow to watch the replay."
Lu Weiguo thought to himself, it was indeed very short.
When the training was over today, he received a call from his wife, who said that she had bought a ticket for the 1:00 p.m. train on March 10th, and would arrive at the station around 9:00 a.m. on the 11th. He
would have to ask for leave from his leader the day after tomorrow morning to pick her up.
The next morning, Lu Weiguo went to the camp for morning training as usual. Along the way, many people congratulated him.
Lu Weiguo quickly realized that the congratulations were about his wife's participation in the commendation meeting.
In the camp, Lu Weiguo received another wave of congratulations from his comrades.
When the morning training was over, Lu Weiguo found the leader who was going to the cafeteria and told him about asking for leave.
The leader agreed immediately.
This is an honor. Now it is just daily training. There is no special task, so it is natural to ask for leave.
As soon as Mr. Lu, who was far away in the eastern province, entered the factory, he received envious looks from all directions.
After entering the workshop, the noisy sound of steel colliding could not block out the questions from his colleagues one after another.
"Mr. Lu, your daughter-in-law was commended. I saw it in the news last night."
"It was also in the newspaper this morning!"
Mr. Lu was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and asked them for a newspaper to read.
The Lu family didn't have a TV. The old couple usually thought that TV was a luxury, not a necessity, so they didn't buy one even if they could afford it. At
this moment, he felt a little regretful. If he had known that his daughter-in-law would end up like this, he would have bought it no matter how expensive it was.
But now everything is a little too late.
The black and white photo in the newspaper was Shi Tingyu, and Father Lu's face was flushed with excitement.
However, not long after, he was called away by the secretary of the factory director's office.
Father Lu walked into the factory director's office without knowing why, and the factory director's face was as smiling as Maitreya Buddha.
"Old Lu is here! Come and sit down!" As he said that, he asked the secretary to pour tea for Father Lu.
Father Lu was puzzled until he saw the newspaper on the factory director's desk with the news of the commendation meeting folded on the front.
