This was the first time that my aunt brought her children to play, so Su Yan naturally had to entertain them warmly. She returned to the room and brought out two fruit plates from the space, one plate of fruit and the other plate of preserved fruits and dried meat.
"Come, have some fruit snacks first, you're welcome."
Qin Rui and the others looked at the fruit plate on the coffee table and felt a little embarrassed to reach out. Hua Jing smiled and said, "Just eat if your cousin-in-law tells you to."
Seeing that the children of his great aunt's family were afraid to move, Lu Yiming took out a few strawberries from the fruit bowl and gave one to each of her children.
Qin Rui reached out to take the strawberry and put it in his mouth, exclaiming: "So sweet, so delicious, just as delicious as the prickly ash from the mountain."
Qin Dan also took a bite of the strawberry and said, "Little brother, the prickly ash is not as delicious as this. This is all pulp."
After all, Qin Yan and Qin Ke were older, so they took the strawberries and said thank you to Xiao Yiming. The four Qin siblings sat obediently on the sofa and ate.
Su Yan said to Hua Jing, "Aunt, I'll go call Xiaoyu and the others to come over and play."
"No need, let them go find Xiaoyu to play by themselves later."
"Auntie, I'll go over and see if Xiaoyu and the others' strawberry pots have borne fruit this year."
If she didn't take out the strawberries, she would have forgotten that she gave Lu Yu and Lu Chen several pots of strawberries last year, and she didn't know what happened to those pots of strawberries.
Su Yan came to the Lu family and found that only Lu Chen and Lu Yu were at home. Qin Xiaofang, Lu Jin and Lu Yilan were not at home.
"Xiaoyu, where did Aunt Fang and the others go?"
"Lanlan has a fever. My second brother and Aunt Qin took her to see a doctor."
"Fever? What's going on?"
"Maybe I caught a cold. I vomited out all the rice cereal I ate."
"Xiaoyu, Xiaochen, Qin Yan, Qin Ke and their siblings are here to play. Come to my house and play."
"Sister-in-law, why are they here? I was planning to go to the countryside to catch loaches with them in a few days."
"They've never been to the military compound and want to come and spend a few days. You guys don't have anything to do anyway, so take them for a walk around the area these days."
"Okay, we'll take them around the farm on our bikes."
"Here, use this money to buy you some popsicles." Su Yan took out ten yuan from her pocket and handed it to Lu Chen. "By the way, where are those basins of strawberries I gave you last year?"
"No need, sister-in-law. We have some change on us, so it's no problem to treat them to popsicles and jelly. We've already transplanted the strawberry seedlings to the courtyard, and the fruits must have been eaten by mice!"
Su Yan didn't expect that these two brats would transplant those pots of strawberries to the courtyard. Did they think that strawberries could live for more than ten years?
"You guys go back first. I'll make you some delicious food tonight."
"Where's sister-in-law going?"
"Let me ride this bike while I go shopping for groceries."
Su Yan told Lu Yu and Lu Chen to go to her house first, and she rode her bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative.
The cucumbers, beans, eggplants, bitter melons, winter melons... were neatly arranged in the baskets on the shelves. Su Yan took a look and went to the meat stall.
He took out the meat coupons from his pocket and weighed two pounds of meat and two pounds of ribs. Then he went to the stationery counter and bought a box of pencils and three ordinary pens. He also bought two tin frogs and two small spleen balls, and then rode his bike back.
When there was no one around, Su Yan took out a chicken, two hairtails and a handful of dried kelp from the space.
When I got home, I found that everyone was gone, all the fruits on the coffee table were gone, and all the snacks in another fruit bowl were also finished. Teenagers really are big eaters.
Su Yan washed the two fruit plates, picked about ten pounds of grapes from the space and placed them in the fruit plates, then went back to the room and entered the space.
An hour later, Hua Jing came back with a group of children, big and small. Su Yan handed a tin frog and a small ball to Lu Yiming and Qin Rui respectively.
"Xiaoyan, my child is already in his teens and doesn't play with toys anymore."
"Auntie, a ten-year-old can also play with toys, Xiao Rui, please accept it!"
"Thank you, cousin."
Then she handed the three pens she had bought to Qin Yan, Qin Ke, and Qin Dan, one each, and said to Qin Rui, "This box of pencils is for you. I hope you all study hard and become as good as your cousin."
"Lu Chen, are you confident about the college entrance exam this time?"
"Sister-in-law, I don't know my grades yet. Logically, I should be able to take the exam."
"Okay, if you get into college, sister-in-law will give you a gift."
Su Yan hadn't thought of what gift to give him yet. She would wait until he got admitted to university. Although these two unlucky children, Lu Chen and Lu Yu, could only study in university for one or two years even if they had excellent grades, they would probably be almost 30 years old when the college entrance examination was resumed.
But it is better to pass the exam than not. Even if I cannot finish my studies, I may be able to continue my studies after the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University is established in a few years.
Lu Chen thought that he had secured the gift from his sister-in-law, and after the test he checked his own answers, so there would be no problem at all in passing the college entrance exam.
Although it is difficult to get into university, he and his younger brother Lu Yu always rank among the top three in the school. If he can get into university this year, his younger brother will definitely be able to do so next year.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Lu Yu joked, "Sister-in-law, I will also take the college entrance examination next year. I wonder if you will give me a gift when I take the exam."
Su Yan raised her eyes and looked at Lu Yu with a smile, "What do you want?"
"I want my brother's stamp album."
Haha, this kid has a good idea. He wants Lu Ting’s stamp album, but how could Lu Ting give it to him?
"Forget about the stamp album. If you like stamp collecting, I'll go to the post office and buy you two sets of stamps."
"Sister-in-law, you are serious."
"Let's talk about it after you get into college."
Su Yan suddenly remembered that the misprinted "The Mountains and Rivers of the Motherland Are All Red" seemed to have been issued on November 25, 1968. It was recalled a few hours after its release. Later, a large "One Red" coin was sold for more than 7 million yuan, and a small "One Red" coin also sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan.
