Seeing that no one said anything, Lu Ting looked at Lu Yilan and then at Lu Jin and said, "You are currently doing an internship at the hospital. If you see a suitable woman, you should find another one. You are only in your twenties and it is impossible for you not to get married in this life."
Lu Jin put down his bowl and chopsticks, sighed deeply and said, "Let's wait until the internship is over. If I find the right one, I'll find another one. If not, forget it."
Hua Min felt sad when she thought of her poor second son. He had such a bad fate. When he was a child, he was taken away by his sister-in-law and raised in the Gu family. When he grew up, he got married but met the wrong person. He encountered a big turmoil just after his internship. He didn't know what was waiting for him in the future.
"Eat, eat, stop talking. Where did you buy this rice? Why does it smell so good?"
Lu Fengnian looked at Lu Ting, and Lu Ting said calmly, "I bought it from a friend."
"It's all chaotic now. Tell your friend to be more careful and contact them less unless necessary."
"knew."
Lu Fengnian knew that his son had a wide circle of friends and could get a lot of supplies from other channels. Before, he knew that his son was sensible, so he turned a blind eye and didn't say anything.
But the situation is different now. He has to give him a warning. If something goes wrong, the whole family will be implicated.
"How many kilograms of this fragrant rice did you buy?"
"There are still one hundred and fifty pounds."
"So many? Then move thirty kilograms to the courtyard for the New Year and have some good rice to eat during the New Year."
"You guys can carry a bag over later. Each bag weighs exactly 100 kilograms."
"So what are you eating?"
"There's still some food left at home."
Lu Ting was the one who went to collect the food supply for the family of three. Su Yan never cared about these trivial matters because her family had no worries about food anyway.
My father-in-law took the initiative to ask for thirty kilograms of Rice Flower Fragrance for the New Year. As a son, it is impossible for me to refuse. If I want to eat rice cooked with Rice Flower Fragrance, I will ask Lu Ting to carry two bags of Rice Flower Fragrance to the rice mill to get it milled.
When the hot pot was almost finished, Su Yan took out the cake, and the five adults and two children each finished a piece of the six-inch cake.
After eating the cake, they chatted about the current situation and opinions for a while. Lu Jin looked at his watch and saw that it was getting late, so he suggested leaving.
Lu Ting lifted the bag of rice and placed it on his shoulder. "Take your time finding a partner. Spend more time with Lanlan and give her some advice."
"Okay, I understand. I will take her to bed by myself during this time."
Lu Fengnian picked up Lu Yiming and asked, "Do you want to sleep with grandpa?"
"Grandpa, my mom said I'm a man, and a man must sleep alone."
"Okay, my little man will sleep by himself, so grandpa will leave first. You can go to grandpa's house to play during the day."
"Okay, I'll play with my sister during the day."
Lu Fengnian turned around and looked at Lu Ting again, "Yiming is four years old now. It's time for you to have another child."
After urging her to get married, she was now being urged to have a baby. Su Yan was speechless. They said that the current situation was turbulent, and this was definitely not the best time to have a child. At the very least, she had to wait until her job was stable before having a baby.
Lu Fengnian didn't understand. Other families would have two children in three years, but why did his eldest son only have one in five years? Could it be that the boy was in poor health?
Lu Fengnian glanced at Lu Ting's lower body, and Lu Ting finally reacted. He tightened his legs and coughed lightly, "Dad, I'm fine. The reason I didn't want to have a baby before was because Yanyan was in school. Now Yanyan's internship is not stable, so I'll have the baby in two years."
Lu Fengnian put Lu Yiming down and shook his head. "I was counting on the four of you to have more children, but the eldest one doesn't want to have children, the second one doesn't want to get married...you're talking about having another child in two years? In two years, your sister will have given birth to four children."
"Dad, wait until Mom retires and my wife has another baby. Otherwise, there's no one to take care of the baby after it's born. If we hire someone to take care of the baby at this time, we'll definitely be criticized."
Lu Fengnian thought about it and realized that it was true. During the famine years, people were afraid to have children because there was nothing to eat. Now that things are better, the situation has started to get worse again.
"Okay, then let's have another baby in two years. It would be best if we could have more babies, boys or girls."
Su Yan didn't say anything, and Lu Ting nodded, "Having another child in two years will be enough, Dad, you don't have to worry, by then Lu Jin's new wife will definitely give you two more grandchildren.
Lu Chen and Lu Yu have also found a partner, and you are still worried that the Lu family does not have enough descendants."
Lu Fengnian knew that his eldest son didn't want to have too many children. So, forget it, if he only wanted to have two, then so be it. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so he wouldn't force it.
After Lu Fengnian and Hua Min left, Su Yan looked at Lu Ting quietly, "Lu Ting, honestly, do you also want to have more children?"
Lu Ting smiled and pointed at Lu Yiming, "If I have more sons like yours, I'm sure my life will be short. If I have daughters like Yilan, I'll have an even bigger headache.
Well, no matter what kind of child it is, we just need to have one more."
Lu Yiming hugged Lu Ting's thigh and said, "Dad, do you dislike me because I'm missing two front teeth?"
"I don't dislike you because you're missing two front teeth."
"Why is that?"
"I dislike you because you're missing two front teeth and you talk so much. Okay, wash your face and feet and go to bed."
"Humph, Dad doesn't like me, and I don't like Dad either. Mom, please sleep with me tonight! I hate Dad!"
Lu Ting grabbed the collar of the boy hanging on his lap and said, "You're itching again, kid."
"Mom, save me!"
Su Yan bent down and picked up Lu Yiming, glaring at Lu Ting. "Get some hot water for our son to wash his face and feet, and clean up the dishes. I'll take our son back to the room first."
Lu Yiming smiled and made faces at Lu Ting. It turned out that Dad was most afraid of Mom getting angry.
Su Yan coaxed Lu Yiming to sleep, and Lu Ting pulled her back to the room, "Yan Yan, you'll be officially married next year. How about getting pregnant by the end of next year and giving birth the summer after? We won't have any more children after that."
"Okay, I won't give birth to another child. If it's still a son, you can't ask me to give you a daughter."
"Okay, whether it's a son or a daughter, let's have another child. If not, we'll just do baby-making exercises tonight."
"You're not going to work tomorrow?"
"We have to hold meetings and study sessions these days. Those guys who raided our homes are probably crazy. They asked us to put down our work and listen to their lectures.
Instead of teaching us anything serious, he just kept inciting us to cause trouble and even asked me to lead the charge."
"What do you think?"
"What can I think? I try not to say anything if I can. If I'm really forced to go on stage, I'll say a few words to them. Everyone is comparing their births, saying things like third generation poor peasants or fourth generation poor peasants. Fortunately, my grandfather's generation was also born into a peasant family, so they can't find any fault with me."
"Then your grandmother."
"My grandmother died not long after she met my grandfather. Many people don't know what happened decades ago. Even if they know my grandmother existed, they don't know about her family background."
"Your aunt and the others won't cause any trouble, right?"
"If she dares to cause trouble, my father will kill them in a minute. The Gu family is a family of scholars, and a lot of trouble is waiting for them."
As long as they are not implicated, Su Yan doesn't care about Aunt Lu Ting's life or death. Anyway, she rarely interacts with that group of people.
