It would be a lie for Lu Fengnian to say that he didn't feel sorry for his wife as she had more and more white hair and wrinkles. He loved his own wife himself. Now that his two sons had returned to the team, he didn't want them to send their future children home again. They didn't have enough energy to continue helping them raise the children.
Lu Fengnian looked at Lu Chen and Zhong Lingshan, "Since Xiaochen has returned to the army, Jiaojiao will also go to school next fall, so you should take her back this time."
Lu Chen nodded, "I understand, Dad. Thank you for your hard work over the years."
Zhong Lingshan was a little unhappy. She glanced at her daughter on the small table and said, "Dad, Jiaojiao is already so old, you don't need to take care of her. Just continue to help us take care of her for a few more years! I'm pregnant now, so I don't have time to take care of her."
Lu Fengnian looked at his stupid daughter-in-law with a dark face. Why didn't Jiaojiao kiss her? It was because of her mother's indifference.
We live in the same city, but she doesn't even come back to see her daughter once a year. What kind of mother is this? Every time I write to her, she always says that she has no time off from work and no time to visit her. If she doesn't come to see her, can't she buy her some food and clothes and send them to her?
He just threw the child at their house and left. Apart from the 60 yuan he gave them that year, he never gave them a penny again.
Lu Fengnian asked Zhong Lingshan, "At what age do you plan to let Jiaojiao start the semester class? She will be five years old after the Chinese New Year."
"Dad, many children don't start elementary school until they're seven or eight years old. It's better for my Jiaojiao to start preschool when she's over six."
"Yiming started first grade before he was six, and skipped a grade in elementary school, so he only studied for four years. Now he's eleven years and two months old, in the eighth grade. He graduated from high school before he was fourteen."
Zhong Lingshan chuckled, "Even if Yiming finishes high school before he turns fourteen and can't take the college entrance exam, he will still end up going to the countryside as an educated youth.
My daughter Jiaojiao will start school later. Maybe when she finishes high school, they won’t have to go to the countryside as educated youth anymore.”
Su Yan smiled. She was not worried at all that her son would be sent to the countryside as an educated youth.
It was now 1974, and Lu Yiming was going to graduate from high school in July 1976. By that time, the Great Movement would be over, and the college entrance examination would be resumed the following year. Her son could just study at home for a year and take the college entrance examination the following winter.
As long as her son can maintain his grades, he should have no problem getting into university.
Lu Ting retorted, "After my son finishes high school, he can enlist in the army."
Lu Fengnian agreed, "Yiming can join the army after graduating from high school. Yiming is so smart, he might even be better than Ting'er in the future. The eldest son of the Lu family always follows in his father's footsteps. We don't force Yi'an and Yining to join the army, but Yiming must."
Lu Yiming was a little depressed. Although he studied hard, he had never thought about joining the army. His ideals had changed again and again over the years, and he didn't know what he wanted to do after graduating from high school.
Forget it, let’s just live in the present, eat more tonight and think about what we will do in the future.
What Lu Yiming didn't know was that he was a doctor in his previous life. Because he worked overtime to perform surgery on patients, he died suddenly on the operating table at a young age.
He bought a house without getting married and hasn't even paid off the mortgage yet. If he had memories of his past life, he definitely wouldn't choose to be a doctor in this life, right?
After dinner, Lu Fengnian called Lu Ting to the room, took out the house deed from the box and put it in Lu Ting's hand.
"Leave this with you first. When Yiming grows up, we can transfer the ownership to him."
Lu Ting didn't expect that his father would actually hand over the house deed to them this time. He was really flattered.
He thought that his father was afraid of discouraging the couple, so he handed the house deed to them in advance.
His father must be thinking that it’s because their family now has their own courtyard house, and since his parents are retired, they definitely wouldn’t object if they wanted to live there forever.
Therefore, it has no impact on him whether the property certificate is provided in advance or not. However, when transferring the property, he, as the homeowner, still has to go to the Housing Management Office.
"Dad, please give this to me in advance for safekeeping. If my sister-in-law and I find out, they will definitely make a fuss again."
"It's agreed to give it to Yiming. This house belongs to Yiming. You don't think I really don't keep my word, do you? Your words are as good as gold.
Your brother and his family have bright futures, and their company will allocate them houses. Besides, they don't have many sons, so why would they need so many houses?
Family planning has been proposed, so they should actively cooperate. Having two or three children is enough."
Speaking of having children, Lu Ting thought of his carefree sister at home. In order to have another son, she had given birth to her fifth child. Fortunately, the last child fulfilled her wish.
"Dad, go and persuade your daughter. She already has five children and wants to have another son."
Lu Fengnian was also worried about his daughter. The man she married had a job and his family had no ancestral property. He didn't know why his daughter had so many children.
"Tomorrow she comes back to pay New Year's greetings. I will go and talk to her and ask her son-in-law to get sterilized. Back then, you were such a fool. You took it upon yourself to get sterilized before your wife had even given birth."
"If I don't get a vasectomy, what if my wife gives birth to triplets?
Isn't this going to kill my wife? Although we have four children, we only have two rooms, so my daughter Zhuzhu has to sleep in the living room.
But Dad, if you go to Quan's brother-in-law to get sterilized, the Qin family will definitely hate you, and your daughter will definitely have opinions too."
His sister is a fool. Apart from being obsessed with having a son, she listens to her brother-in-law the most. She would rather hurt herself than hurt her man. It is a bit difficult to get her brother-in-law to get a sterilization.
"What are you dissatisfied with? When we first got married, we were given a suite, but Xiaojin still hasn't gotten a room. If Xiaoshu doesn't want her son-in-law to get a sterilization, then she can get it done herself."
How can this be compared? He'd been in the army since he was a teenager, and only after finally getting promoted to deputy regimental commander and getting married did he get a house. For years, the people above him had been making trouble, so he'd still be a regular regimental commander, unable to get promoted. He wondered if he'd even be promoted to deputy division commander by the time he was forty.
"Dad, can you get one more liter before you retire?"
"Promotion? I want to be promoted too, but how can I get promoted when there are people above me putting pressure on me? I just hope I can find a way to get Yiming enlisted before I retire. As long as that kid is motivated, his strength will definitely surpass Xiaochen and Xiaoyu."
"Well, Yiming is smart, but he has too many messy ideas and is not stable at all."
"Don't say that. Yiming has become much more stable these past two years and isn't as reckless as he was when he was little. Go out and call him in so I can play a few games of chess with him and chat with him."
Lu Ting walked out, pulled Su Yan back to the room, stuffed the house deed his father gave him into Su Yan's hand, and asked her to keep it.
Su Yan didn't even look at it closely and directly put the deed back into the space. "You watch the child. I'll go into the space and take care of it for a while."
"Okay, lock the door and come out at 5 pm."
Lu Ting knew that his wife didn't want to chat with those younger brothers and sisters-in-law, which was a good thing, so that they wouldn't cause trouble for his wife.
