Lu Ting knew Su Yan's situation, so he prepared a bowl of milky white crucian carp soup for her and let it cool aside. He stood behind her and fanned her while she ate.
Everyone else was embarrassed to pick up their chopsticks, especially Su Yan. Lu Ting was roasting her on the stove! She wasn't the empress dowager, and she didn't need a eunuch to fan her while she ate.
"Lu Ting, sit down and eat."
"I'll eat after you finish."
Seeing this, Lu Jin couldn't help but gasp. Is Big Brother a wife slave? It feels like it's even worse than Dad's. Will Big Sister-in-law have to call him Little Tingzi from now on?
Seeing her mother-in-law glaring at Lu Ting, Su Yan glared back at him, "If you don't want to eat, I won't eat either. Come on, sit down."
Seeing that his wife was really angry, Lu Ting quickly put down his fan and sat down. The hot weather affected Su Yan's appetite. She drank a bowl of fish soup and ate half a bowl of rice before she couldn't eat anymore.
Lu Ting didn't try to persuade her to continue eating. He just poured the remaining half bowl of rice in her bowl into his own.
"You kid, yesterday at the farm, I just took a bite of your cucumber, but you didn't want it anymore. You were so happy eating your wife's leftovers."
Lu Ting's body stiffened, and then he gave his father a self-aware look. How could his father be the same as his wife? He had already drunk his wife's saliva, so what did leftovers mean to him?
"Dad, you used to eat Mom's leftovers a lot, right?"
"I was saving food. Diligence and thrift are traditional virtues of the Chinese nation."
Lu Ting gave Lu Fengnian a thumbs-up and jokingly said, "Continuing the family line is also a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. So, am I right that Dad and Mom gave birth to so many children?"
Lu Jin looked at his elder brother and then at his father. In the battle between father and son, his elder brother had a slight advantage.
"Lu Ting, you are truly my filial son!"
Lu Ting nodded. "Well, thanks to my wife, your filial son will give birth to a great-great-grandson this year. You will be a grandfather soon."
"I'm old? You little brat, I'm only in my forties, how can I be old?"
"Dad, you're really not old. You and Mom can still give us some more brothers and sisters. Come, drink more soup."
Lu Ting used a big spoon to scoop two spoonfuls of fish soup for Lu Fengnian. Hua Min glanced at Lu Ting. This child used to be so steady, but how come he became so childish after getting married and becoming a father? She really couldn't understand him.
Lu Fengnian sneered, "If your mother gets pregnant again, you will take care of Xiaoyan's child."
Hua Min couldn't bear to see their loving father and filial son, so she scolded them, "What nonsense are you two talking about? Eat your meal properly, why are you so talkative? You two should learn from Jin'er, who doesn't talk while eating or sleeping."
Lu Jin shook his head. He also wanted to joke with his father. There always seemed to be something missing since they had not lived together since childhood.
Although he and his uncle Gu Yiyang have nothing to talk about, they don't joke around. His biological father is a man with an easygoing attitude and a cheerful personality. Whether he is his child or his wife, they must be very happy!
Before Lu Fengnian left, Lu Ting took a jar of wine from the cabinet and gave it to him, deliberately teasing him, "Dad, this is the tonic wine your filial son prepared for you. Drink a glass when you have time, and you'll give birth to a big fat boy next year."
Lu Fengnian laughed and scolded, "I hope Xiaoyan will give birth to a son this time, a devil of a troublemaker. Just wait for my eldest grandson to torture you."
"Haha, it's a pity that your hopes will be dashed. My Yanyan is pregnant with a beautiful girl."
Lu Fengnian took the jar of wine home and prepared to pour a glass to try the effects of the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Wine tonight. When he opened the jar, he found that it was actually wine.
"You little bastard, are you kidding me?"
"You too, you're already old, why are you still fighting with your son?"
Lu Fengnian put down the wine jar and said with a pout, "I've seen him smug. I loved my wife back then, but I don't know where he is waiting for his reincarnation. Xiaomin, since your boyfriend hasn't left yet, why don't we have another little girl to play with?"
After saying that, he hugged Hua Min and kissed her lightly on the mouth. When Lu Jin opened the door, he saw his father secretly kissing his mother, and he was so scared that he quickly stepped back.
Hua Min pushed Lu Fengnian away with force and glared at him fiercely, "If you want to have a daughter, find another woman to do it with. You're not ashamed at your age."
"Don't you think you can't sleep with your wife when you're over 40? Who made that rule? It's not against the law for me to sleep with my own wife. Haven't you seen an old lady who's almost 70 giving birth to a child? You're only 46, so what's wrong with having another child?"
"Old Lu, you can't be serious, right?"
"Shu'er is grown up now. Can't we have another little girl and raise her together with Xiaoyan's child?" Lu Fengnian said something true or false.
"Get out. If you want to give birth, you can do it. I won't." Hua Min, who has always been gentle, couldn't help but swear.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, I was just kidding. In the blink of an eye, the children will grow up and we will become grandparents.
Xiao Min, do you really want to quit your job? Female cadres can only retire at the age of 55.
"I promised Yanyan to take care of her child. I can't break my promise, right?"
"How about asking your sister to help Xiaoyan take care of the baby? We'll pay her a salary."
If his wife leaves her job early, she won't be able to retire. He's not worried about her pension. Even if she doesn't have a salary, he can still support her.
He still has three sons who are not married yet. Once they all get married, they will feel relieved.
Xiao Min has worked hard for so many years. If she can hold on for a few more years, she will be able to get her retirement pay. It is really not worthwhile to quit her job midway.
"Old Lu, why did you think of asking my sister to help Ting'er take care of the baby?"
"Your sister has so many children. How can your brother-in-law's salary be enough?"
"I'll talk to Yanyan and Ting'er about this first. If they agree, I'll talk to my sister. I originally planned to take a year off and bring my grandson back to work next year. When he's older, I'll send him to the preschool class."
"I'll talk to Lu Ting first when we go to the farm tomorrow, so that he won't be so sarcastic."
The next day, before six o'clock, Lu Ting got up and Su Yan got up with him.
"Wife, why don't you get some more sleep?"
"You want to run and exercise, right? I'll get up and walk around too. You can't sit still all day. Proper exercise is good for childbirth."
Seeing that his wife wanted to exercise with him, Lu Ting had to change his morning jog to a walk.
After coming back from the walk, Lu Ting cooked two bowls of egg noodles, one for each person. After eating and clearing away the dishes, he said goodbye to Su Yan and asked her to have a good rest at home.
As a result, Su Yan found a straw hat and put it on her head, following Lu Ting closely.
"Yan Yan, what are you going to do?"
"Lu Ting, I want to go to the farm to see the fruit trees and medicinal herbs you planted."
"Yan Yan, the sun is very strong at around 8 or 9 in the summer. You'd better not go there. There are a lot of mosquitoes on the mountain."
"I've already put on my straw hat, but you told me not to go. If you don't let me go now, I'll walk there by myself later."
Seeing that Su Yan was serious, Lu Ting had no choice but to agree to take her there personally. Lu Jinba returned the bicycle to them yesterday, so it was just right that he could ride the bicycle there today.
