Su Yan found that there were three more children in the house and the house was noisy. In order not to disturb the adults' meal, Hua Min specially served some non-spicy dishes and placed them on the coffee table for the five children to sit there and eat.
Who knew that not long after they started eating, the children started fighting because of a chicken leg.
Qin Xue quickly snatched the chicken leg away. Qin Siming wanted to snatch it back, but when he couldn't, he grabbed his sister's hair.
Lu Yiming, who was standing by, threw away his chopsticks and stepped forward to pull the brother and sister apart. As a result, Qin Siming was so angry that he bit Lu Yiming's wrist.
Lu Yiming burst into tears after being bitten. Lu Shu walked over and scolded Qin Xue, "Are you a little fool? Your sister and brother were fighting over the chicken leg, but you were only concerned about eating it yourself."
Qin Xue didn't dare to say a word even after being scolded. She just looked at the adults at the table with red eyes, at a loss.
Then Lu Shu turned around and said to Lu Yiming, "Yiming, your brother is still young, so be kind to him and don't try to grab the chicken leg."
Lu Yiming stopped crying and said stubbornly, "Aunt, I didn't fight with my brother for the chicken leg. It was my cousin and my brother who were fighting. I went over to help them."
If he had known earlier, he would have gone to help and let them fight until they were bloody. Not only would he get bitten, but he would also be misunderstood by his aunt.
Su Yan waved to Lu Yiming, "Yiming, come here and let mommy see you."
Lu Yiming walked up to Su Yan. Su Yan lifted his sleeve and found a red and purple tooth mark on his right wrist, but fortunately the skin was not broken.
"It's okay. Mom will pick up whatever dish you want for you."
"Mom, I want to eat spicy braised beef."
"Okay, bring the bowl over here and mom will serve it to you. If it's spicy, just wash it with water."
"Mom, I'm not afraid of spicy food. The dishes grandma prepared for us don't have any chili at all. I want to eat the food on your table."
"What do you want to eat? Your dad and I will help you pick it up."
Lu Yiming went to get his own bowl and chopsticks happily. It seemed that the fight between the Qin siblings had no effect on him at all.
Looking at her heartless son, Su Yan was relieved and didn't take Lu Shu's words to heart. This sister-in-law only came back a few times a year, so there was no need for her to be petty with her.
It's her business if she can't teach her children well, and they have no reason to interfere in her life.
Chen Yuhe watched the farce caused by the children and wondered if her child was beaten by her sister-in-law's son, would she stand up for her child?
Fortunately, my sister-in-law and nephew don’t mind, otherwise I wouldn’t have had a peaceful meal. It’s better not to have too many children, one or two will be enough.
After dinner, Su Yan originally wanted to invite Lu Shu to bring her two daughters to sleep at their house, but in the end she asked Lu Chen and Lu Yu to go to their house and sleep in Lu Yiming's bed.
No one else thought anything of it. Lu Ting knew that Su Yan had something against his sister, but he didn't say anything.
His sister's preference for boys over girls is something she probably won't change in her lifetime, and she's also a failure in educating her children. He's tried to persuade her before, but she hasn't changed, so he doesn't plan to persuade her again this time.
After dinner, Lu Chen and Lu Yu took the initiative to follow their sister-in-law. Thinking that it was still early and not yet eight o'clock, Lu Yu suggested playing poker.
If you don’t have fun during the New Year holidays, your brothers and you will go your separate ways after the New Year, and you don’t know when we will meet again.
Lu Ting had no objection. He replaced the coal stove with a new piece of honeycomb coal, put it into the square fire rack, and put an old mattress on the fire rack. He played poker while warming himself by the fire.
Su Yan brought out a plate of candies and biscuits and a plate of tangerines from the room. Lu Yu was a little surprised to see tangerines during the New Year.
"Brother, where did you get this tangerine?"
"It was a gift from a good friend. He has more than a dozen late-ripening mandarin orange trees in his hometown. They start picking them at the end of November and then store them in the food cabinet.
He went back home half a month ago and came back a few days ago with a woven bag of mandarin oranges. Knowing that I like to eat mandarin oranges, he gave me 20 kilograms.
Lu Ting lied without blinking, so Lu Yu naturally believed him. Whether southerners or northerners, everyone has their own way of storing fruit.
While Lu Chen was shuffling the cards, Lu Yu bent down and took a tangerine from the fruit bowl on the coffee table, peeled it, and ate it while sighing, "This tangerine is so sweet, but it's a little cold in the cold weather. Otherwise, I could eat ten or so in one go. It's much better than those canned oranges."
Lu Ting had long been accustomed to it. Not to mention eating tangerines in winter, when he and his wife ate a mandarin duck hot pot in the space, they had to drink two glasses of ice juice to suppress the spicy taste in their mouths.
"These tangerines are really delicious. Next year, ask my friend to bring more from his hometown."
Lu Chen placed the shuffled cards on the rack and took the lead in picking up the cards. As he did so, he said to Lu Ting, who was sitting across from him, "Brother, my parents are going with me to the girl's house to propose marriage tomorrow. Are you and sister-in-law free?"
"Your sister-in-law has to go to work tomorrow. If Dad doesn't arrange for someone to drive me, I can go."
Lu Yiming, who was sitting on the sofa eating beef jerky, had his eyes flashing. He walked to Lu Chen, picked up a piece of beef jerky and handed it to Lu Chen's mouth, "Third Uncle, have some beef jerky!"
If someone shows kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. This kid must be up to something. Lu Chen smiled and took a bite of the beef jerky. While chewing, he said, "The beef jerky that Yiming feeds me is especially delicious."
"Uncle San, can you take me with you to visit Aunt San's house tomorrow?"
Lu Ting glared at Lu Yiming, "Your uncle is going to make a bet, what are you going to do?"
"I've never been to the Air Force, and I want to see the planes."
Lu Chen smiled and wondered why his nephew was so kind as to feed him dried meat. It looked like this kid didn't want to go out to receive red envelopes, but wanted to see the planes.
"If you study hard, you can grow up not only to see airplanes but also to fly them."
