Mr. and Mrs. Lao Lu were in a daze for most of the day, and finally accepted the fact that their daughter had remarried. The next morning, Lao Lu woke up like a wandering soul and called his former enemy Lao Wang.
When Lao Wang received his call, he didn't even raise his eyelids. Before Lao Lu could say anything, he said, "Lao Lu, why are you calling me so early in the morning?"
"What kind of beautiful braid did your little granddaughter make again? Let me tell you, granddaughters are cute and adorable now, but they will still be naughty boys when they grow up. Look at my Junjun. Our Junjun is determined to be a heroic female officer."
"Your little granddaughter can also be like my Junjun and become a spicy female soldier in the future. This is in line with the tenacious and unyielding spirit of our elders..."
Lao Wang was no longer interested in listening to Lao Lu's call. In the end, he was talking about his two sweet granddaughters. Lao Wang said, "I already know how cute your granddaughter is, how sweet her voice is, and she can sing...
Humph, do you think I, Lao Wang, have never enjoyed the days of having a little granddaughter?
" The so-called "sweet granddaughter" is like the "canned sweet water" on the shelf. They all have a shelf life. Wait a few more years. Lao Wang doesn't believe that Lao Lu can still have a sweet granddaughter.
Just bear with him for a few more years.
Lao Lu sighed. He was still in a daze like a wandering soul, and he still felt that the incident happened in a dream. Lao Lu said lightly: "Lao Wang, I will not talk to you about my granddaughter today. I will talk to you about my daughter-in-law."
"Daughter-in-law? What? You Lao Lu have a daughter-in-law? Don't you have four boys in your family?" Lao Wang laughed secretly in his heart, but said so deliberately.
With such a "spicy" aunt influencing him, his sweet bean paste sisters will sooner or later follow their "spicy aunt" and become two little spicy girls.
"Old Wang, are you suffering from Alzheimer's? Do you still remember my Xiao Ming? Xiao Ming who used to follow his grandma and grandma..."
Old Wang rolled his eyes: "Isn't that your grandson?"
"Yes! You remember I have a grandson, how could you forget that I have an eldest daughter?"
"What happened to your third daughter?" Old Wang remembered that the third daughter of Old Lu's family had retired to become a policeman and is now living in Guangzhou, living a comfortable life. Could something have happened to her?
Old Lu said in a daze: "My third daughter told me the other day that she is pregnant. She is going to get married and give Xiao Ming a brother or sister."
"The new son-in-law she found for me is a chef, and he is a veteran. He cooks delicious food and has a scar on his face..."
"What? What did you say?" Old Wang was completely confused by what Lu Zongyi said. What did Old Lu say? He said his daughter is pregnant and getting married?
Who is pregnant? Who is getting married?
"I said I'm going to have a son-in-law."
Lao Wang: "... Am I dreaming? Or are you wrong? You said you're going to have a grandson-in-law? Whose family did your Dou Rong get engaged to?"
"It's my daughter, the third child. My third child has been dating someone for several years without my knowledge."
Lao Wang: "... Damn, Lao Lu, is your wife Jiang Ping by your side? You are delusional, are you talking nonsense?"
The third child of the Lu family... Lu Xuan has been dating someone for several years and is getting married?
This is more unbelievable than the sun rising from the west? ! !
"Hurry, hurry, you have to go to the hospital for treatment!"
Lao Lu rolled his eyes: "You are the one who needs to treat your ears. My daughter is getting married, and I'm going to have a son-in-law. You're hard of hearing and didn't you hear it?!"
"Really?"
"Really, and it's the man my daughter is pursuing."
"Really? This... this can be possible?"
"Why can't it be possible? My Yanzi is teaching his sister and brother-in-law how to talk about dating..."
Lao Wang on the other end of the phone: "..."
"Seriously, I think Lao Lu, you really need to go to the hospital to check your brain. Why do the words you say sound so weird?"
"You are the weird one, your whole family is weird, humph, I'm going to have a son-in-law, maybe I'll have a granddaughter, bye, Lao Wang, you bless me, next time I'll bring my granddaughter back to see you."
Lao Wang: "... the granddaughter in your dream, weird."
The two old men hung up the phone together. Although they often disliked each other, they would get together every week to chat on the phone. If they
didn't call each other for a few days, their bodies would feel like they were crawling with lice, itching everywhere.
This made Jiang Ping and Lao Wang's wife dislike them, saying that they were two old men and had so much to talk about.
"You old kids, you old kids, I'm talking to you two. You talk like the grandson of Mr. Xu's family, just like two elementary school students quarreling. Everyone who hears it laughs at you two."
Lao Wang's wife doesn't understand the "daily phone calls" between her husband Lao Wang and Lao Lu. The two of them are always bickering on the phone, making the switchboard operators laugh to death.
"You and Jiang Ping call each other every now and then, talking about who loves him, he loves her, she doesn't love her, or the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarrel, and you've learned some weird words..."
"Jiang Ping and I are talking about TV series. Do you know what TV series are? They can receive Hong Kong and RTHK in Guangzhou, and there are several TV channels. Everyone likes to listen to us talking about the plot."
"Don't say it, they dare to shoot this TV series, dare to think about it, we ordinary people can't think of it, how can there be such a weird plot..."
"Weird?" Lao Wang crossed his arms: "No matter how weird it is, it can't be that a lady from the mainland gets married again?"
"The mainland lady is going to have a granddaughter again."
"What?" Lao Wang's wife was stunned. "Lao Lu's daughter is getting married? Where did he get a daughter?"
Lao Wang: "... Lu Xuan, have you forgotten Xiao Ming's mother?"
"She found a chef again, a retired soldier, who looks very handsome. It was Lu Xuan who took the initiative to pursue the man. Her brother Lu Yan was the relationship coach, teaching his sister how to talk to people about dating."
Lao Wang's wife: "... You are too good at making up stories. I have never heard of a TV series as good as you."
Lu Xuan got pregnant and got married? Her brother Lu Yan was the relationship coach? ...
"Now you know how ignorant you are, Lao Lu's family is even more bizarre than the ones on TV!"
"Are you jealous, comrade Lao Wang?"
"Bah, who is jealous..." Lao Wang said stubbornly. He thought that he had been fighting with Lao Lu all his life. In the first half of his life, he was one step ahead, but in the second half, Lao Lu won the battle.
"It was always Lao Lu who envied me, Lao Wang, but now it's my turn to envy Lao Lu. What kind of world is this?"
Lao Wang's wife laughed at him, "Wake up, people are saying that times have changed..."
This man has an inexplicable desire to win or lose. He has to compare everything with others.
He can't accept the loss after comparing with others.
"No matter how the times change, it shouldn't be me, Old Wang, who is
unlucky, right?" Old Wang covered his face, feeling very regretful: "This all started with the marriage of Old Lu's youngest son. Tell me why I was so mean-mouthed at the time and even went to Old Lu to urge him to get married, but Old Lu found such a good daughter-in-law for his youngest son."
"She is beautiful, a college student, and can sing and dance. Now I heard that she is going to open a factory to raise pearls..."
Old Wang was so jealous. Old Lu's previous sons had trouble with marriage, but their Lu Yan "married early at a young age" and successfully broke the Lu family's curse of late marriage, and married such a good daughter-in-law.
Old Wang sighed, "We can't compete with this generation. When our grandson gets married, tell the sons to be careful."
"What should you be careful about? You are already halfway into the coffin. Don't torture your grandchildren here."
Unlike these old-fashioned old men, Old Wang's wife, under the influence of Jiang Ping, has also begun to accept the new changes and new ideas of the times. Old Wang's wife also wants to perm her hair, dance in a music teahouse, and drink coffee with toad glasses.
"Old Wang, when can we go south to have a look?"
Many people are going south now. The south has introduced a lot of foreign investment. Factories are being opened everywhere and people are being recruited everywhere. Now the trains going south are crowded with people. Everyone wants to go to the south to see those new things with their own eyes.
"You are an old man, what are you still bothering about?"
Old Wang doesn't care about the new fashions in the south, but he cares about the phone now. They are going to install a phone at home!!
"I can call Lao Lu at home in the future."
"I must give him a surprise next time!"
Lu Xuan and Lu Qing got married, and there was no big ceremony. They just found someone they knew and set up three or four tables in Lu Qing's tea restaurant. His place was just enough for them.
The guests included people from the Lu family, Lu Xuan's colleagues in the police, and Lu Qing's old colleagues in the state-owned hotel.
After hearing that Lu Qing was going to marry Lu Xuan, these old colleagues from the state-owned hotel all showed confused and surprised expressions: "..."
It was like eating an old melon. They felt that they should be surprised, but found that so much time had passed and there was nothing to be surprised about.
"You two are finally together!!!!"
"When Xiao Ming's mother brought Xiao Ming to our hotel, I was the one who received him."
"That's right, Xiao Ming's 'Dad' was so loud!"
"Xiao Ming said his father couldn't find a partner, and I said that Lu Qing, you couldn't find a partner either. You two are really like the emperor who is not in a hurry but the prisoner is too anxious. Now it's great that you are together. What kind of fate is this!"
...
Everyone in the state-owned hotel knew a thing or two about Lu Qing and Lu Xuan's past. They only knew that the two had been getting along as friends, but they didn't expect that they would get together like this.
The waiters at the state-owned hotel gathered together and whispered:
"I'll tell you, a man and a woman can't be just friends."
"...But to me, they don't look like a man and a woman at all."
"In front of Officer Lu, our old comrade Lu is more like a darling wife who can do everything from the kitchen to the dining room."
"What? A darling wife?"
...
Not only did people come from the state-owned hotel, but also from the police station on Lu Sanjie's side. Lu Sanjie's colleagues, such as the young female police officer Xue Peiling and several colleagues like Lao Zhang and Lao Xu, were like a meteorite hitting their heads when they learned that Lu Xuan was going to get married. They were furious and couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.
Officer Chen: "I never expected that..."
Xue Peiling: "...Two fathers?"
Xue Peiling sighed: "At first I thought my brother Lu had a family, and I called him Brother Lu, and she happily agreed. Look, I thought our brother Lu had a beautiful wife."
As she said that, Xue Peiling pointed her chin at Qin Rou at the next table, and everyone looked at Qin Rou, a young, beautiful, charming and attractive woman. When Xue
Peiling first met Lu Xuan, she thought her senior was a tough guy with a strong temper. Although she was almost scolded by her, after having a meal at "Brother Lu's" house, Xue Peiling was left with only envy.
Brother Lu has a wife and children, and such a beautiful daughter-in-law, he is really an enviable public security cadre of our generation.
As a result, "Brother Lu" said: This is my sister-in-law.
Wow, it turned out to be my uncle and sister-in-law, they almost misunderstood me.
"No, I'm her elder sister-in-law."
Sister-in-law, elder sister-in-law, elder sister-in-law... What kind of sister-in-law is elder sister-in-law?
The family that was so happy in front of her eyes turned into another strange relationship, which made people feel a little awkward.
All the public security personnel present: "..."
It's so strange that "Brother Lu" got married.
Noticing the eyes of the group of people nearby, Lu Yan put his arms around his wife's shoulders and said seriously and solemnly: "This is my wife."
Qin Rou: "..."
Xue Peiling: "..."
Lao Zhang and Lao Xu: "..."
- This is the real husband of the beautiful wife.
Many of their colleagues have never seen Lu Xuan's younger brother. It's fine if they haven't seen him, but after seeing him... Xue Peiling couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Lu Xuan's younger brother is so handsome.
"Your younger brother should come to our police department after he retires."
"When he wears the police uniform, reporters will come to our place to shoot promotional videos."
"My brother is in the navy, he may not retire."
...
When Old Xu saw his younger brother, he couldn't help but sigh: "If Lu Xuan was a man, it would be much easier for him to go out and work with those aunts and grandmothers."
"Just like what they say over there - a killer of housewives."
Xue Peiling said, "It's a good job now! The housewives like her."
Lu Xuan said seriously, "What are you talking about in secret?"
Xue Peiling: "...about the TV series we watched the other day."
"I also want to be a police officer like Sister Lu!"
After getting married, Third Sister Lu moved into the police housing with her husband and children. Lu Yan and his wife would occasionally live in the original house. They paid the rent, and Old Lu and his wife would also come and stay here for a day or two.
"Coming to such a bustling place like Guangzhou, you can't stay in jail in school every day."
"I'm so old now, I have to see more of the city."
"You just want to show off to Lao Wang, how can I not know you?"
...
When Lao Lu and his wife came, they often went to their son-in-law's house to eat. They were tired of eating in the cafeteria, and they were very relieved to eat the meals cooked by their son-in-law because they couldn't eat the meals cooked by their daughter-in-law.
"Our third daughter learned well from her younger brother and finally found a husband who can cook delicious food."
"Xiaozi's son can also cook."
"It's too spicy!"
"Lu Xiao can eat spicy food very well now. His father is scared. Last time, he mixed rice with chili sauce in front of me."
"My son is really amazing..."
Jiang Ping said, "Which of your sons is not amazing? The old and the young can give people emotional guidance..."
"Cough cough cough." Comrade Lu almost choked on the rice in his mouth, "Don't say such weird things while eating."
"Don't you know this kid Lu Yan? He is just like his father, with shit luck."
"Lu Yan is lucky. I, his biological mother, recognize him; you, Comrade Lu, you are a little unlucky."
"How do you talk?"
"If you are not unlucky, why did you marry me?"
"——It's because I married you that I've used up all my good luck."
Jiang Ping sneered, "Can you please stop saying such sour things?"
"People are singing "Sweet Honey" on the street, so what's wrong with me talking about good luck?" Comrade Lu Zongyi taught his wife: "You can't keep up with the times."
Jiang Ping: "..."
"Sweet Honey, your smile is so sweet..."
Even the old Lu couple can sing "Sweet Honey". Qin Rou looked at the man standing next to her and suddenly felt: "Brother Lu, you are more like your mother."
Lu Yan supported her idea: "My father is not serious."
"You are not serious either."
"Tell my dad to be quiet and stop calling his old friends. If he calls a few more, my reputation as 'Chief of Staff Lu' will be known to everyone."
Qin Rou covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "What's wrong?"
Chief of Staff Lu, a well-known emotional staff.
"Gu Cheng's father called me several times in a row, saying that I was not a kind person. I have been the captain of Gu Cheng for several years, but I didn't introduce a good match for his son..."
"Now your brother Lu has fallen to the point of introducing people to a match."
Qin Rou pushed his waist with her elbow: "Then you introduce someone?"
"Introduce what? No introduction." Brother Lu said that he didn't have the hobby of introducing people to a match.
Comrade Gu will continue to be a bachelor.
Not long after Lu Sanjie got married, Lu's second and fourth brothers brought their families to Guangzhou. The second brother's two sons and the fourth brother Lu Xiao's one son went to the photo studio to take pictures.
The Lu family's family scared the owner of the photo studio.
Lu Sanjie was already pregnant, and the two brothers Zhou Zhou and Xiao Dumpling each held a younger sister.
The owner of the photo studio was confused by the noise made by these four siblings: "Didn't the brother just go in with his sister? Why did he come out again?"
"They are two pairs of brothers and sisters, no, they are two pairs of twin brothers and sisters, so they look exactly the same."
"What? Two pairs of twin brothers and sisters?"
The owner couldn't help but said to Lu Zongyi: "What a blessing, what a blessing, there are two pairs of twins in the family. And they look exactly the same."
Lu Zongyi smiled as if his face was as red as a chrysanthemum: "That's right, I didn't expect our family to have such a blessing."
"Which family are the two brothers from? Which family is the sister from?"
"What do you mean which family, they are all from the same family."
"I'm sorry, I asked the wrong question. I wanted to know which son's family these twin brothers belong to, and which daughter's family these daughters belong to?"
Comrade Lao Lu: "They are all my youngest son's. These four twin brothers and sisters are biological siblings, born to the same mother."
"Born to the same mother?! Who!" The proprietress exclaimed.
Several pairs of eyes involuntarily looked at Qin Rou.
Qin Rou: "..."
Becoming the focus of attention for this reason is really... Qin Rou coughed, and remembered the Dahuatian Palace that she had seen recently, so she shouted particularly generously: "Children, come here!"
Lu Yan: "..."
Zhou Zhou Dumpling and Dou Dou Rongrong: "..."It seems that if you run over, you will turn into a monkey.
"Mom! My grandson is here!" Xia Mingxi gave her special face and answered loudly, then ran to her aunt-in-law.
Lu Xuan: "..."
Zhou Zhou Dumpling with Sweet Bean Paste: "???!!!!"
The boss lady's jaw dropped, she looked at Lao Lu in disbelief: "Five babies, the oldest one is so big?!!!"
Qin Rou: "???!!!!"
"No no no no, don't get me wrong!! This is my daughter's son." Comrade Lao Lu pointed at Lu Xuan.
The boss lady looked at Lu Xuan: "..."
When he landed on her belly, her eyes widened even more.
Lu Xuan: "..."
Lu Qing hugged his wife's shoulders, and the boss lady's eyes almost popped out.
The children were staring at each other, and finally rushed to their mother's side. Qin Rou looked at them one by one, and really felt like she was leading a group of monkey children in the Flower and Fruit Mountain.
The monkey children talked in unison: "Mom is the Monkey King?"
"Dad is the Bull Demon King."
"Mom is Princess Iron Fan, and I am the Great Sage."
"Princess Iron Fan gave birth to Red Boy."
"The Samadhi True Fire will burn you..."
...
"Okay, kids, stop arguing and line up."
The whole family squeezed together to take a family photo.
Count them, nineteen.
Qin Rou's family album added a few more photos, and this family photo was specially enlarged and placed in the most conspicuous position by Comrade Lao Lu. Every time Comrade Lao Lu saw this photo, he smiled from ear to ear.
Comrade Lao Lu said to Jiang Ping with emotion: "I never thought that after my husband and I have escaped death countless times, we could still have so many children."
Jiang Ping: "Can you use a better word?"
"We raised them with great difficulty, so they are just children."
"Now we have many children and grandchildren, so we have nothing to regret even if we die."
"Don't say such things, I want to live longer and watch more TV series."
Lao Lu: "Can TV series be more important than me?"
Jiang Ping: "Why do you want to compare yourself with TV series?"
Lu Zongyi: "..."
"We never thought that we could live such a good life now."
In July 1980, Chen Juanjuan and Chen Jinghua, a brother and sister, were about to step into the college entrance examination room. Chen Jinghua was in a complicated mood, as he really didn't expect that he could take the college entrance examination.
Four or five years ago, he thought that he would either join the army, go to the countryside as an educated youth, work in a factory, or teach in a village primary school like his father...
But now, he and his sister have registered for the college entrance examination. If they can receive an admission letter, they can become college students! !
The brother and sister paid the registration fee, filled in the school of their choice, and walked into the examination room full of hope.
During the days when they took the exams, Qin Mian, as a mother, was particularly excited. She called her sister Qin Rou several times. Qin Rou comforted her on the phone: "Do you still need to worry about Jinghua and Juanjuan's grades?"
"They will definitely be admitted to university."
Qin Mian was full of worries: "I'm not afraid that they didn't fill in the school well. What if they make a mistake and don't get into the school they want?"
"I'm always worried before I see the admission notice." As a mother, how can she not worry about her children? "I heard that there have been many strange things in the college entrance examination in recent years, and there are even people who impersonate and replace university admission notices."
"Juanjuan and Jinghua must go to university smoothly."
"He will definitely be able to get into college!"
Qin Rou was also infected by her sister's nervous and anxious mood. Whether for current or future students, the college entrance examination is a major event that can change their lives.
"If the four children in our family take the college entrance examination in the future, I will definitely be anxious and unable to sleep." When sleeping at night, Qin Rou talked to Lu Yan about the children's future college entrance examination.
"If you can't sleep, Brother Lu will accompany you."
"What university do you think our son will take? What will he do in the future?" Qin Rou is very curious about what kind of job her son will do in the future? Will he be a soldier like his father? Or will he be a drama actor, "What if he really takes the exam for an art school."
It is not impossible for him to become an actor or star in the future.
Lu Yan smiled and said, "Don't dream."
The Lu family has no artistic spirit.
"What kind of art do you learn in art school? Are our sons going to sing?"
"Actors, drama actors, maybe even movies."
There is no future for the sons to sing. They can choose to be actors, or become the most handsome guy in the military art school. Zhou Zhou and Dumpling both have good looks, handsome with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and nice voices. I wonder what their voices will become after using voice changers.
"To play the monkey making trouble in the palace of heaven?"
"Dumplings making trouble in the palace of heaven."
...
As they talked, the topic began to become confusing. It is always very beautiful to daydream about the future. Qin Rou nestled in the arms of her lover and couldn't help thinking: "When the children start the college entrance examination, what will we be like?"
"Comrade Lao Lu, do you think you will become the old Lu principal? Another arrogant student came and said, "Brother, we really get along well. Let's become sworn brothers." The
principal of the military academy is also a military officer, and he must be a major general or something. The commander-in-chief has also been the principal of the military academy... Qin Rou fantasized that maybe her own Lao Lu would have the possibility of serving as the principal for a few years in the future.
When the roles are reversed, the old principal will also meet problem students.
Lu Yan looked at her helplessly, "Really? Met a student who is full of arrogance? Who knows? Maybe this student wants to marry the principal's daughter..."
Qin Rou hit his hand and asked him, "Did you also want to marry the principal's daughter?"
"The principal has no daughter."
Qin Rou: "You have a daughter, your husband, Principal Lu, has a daughter, and you have two daughters."
Lu Yan: "I don't want to be the principal."
"Who can predict the future, but let's not talk about this, after all, we really have a daughter."
Qin Rou thought it was better not to talk about this issue, and not to set such a weird flag.
Lu Yan: "..."
"Now our daughters are only three years old, don't think too much." Who can predict what will happen in the next ten or twenty years.
Chen Juanjuan and Chen Jinghua successfully passed the college entrance examination. After they walked out of the examination room, they waited for the admission notice to arrive. The two children were much better than their mother Qin Mian, and they were not worried about their grades at all.
Chen Juanjuan: "At worst, I can take the exam again next year."
At this time, there were so many people taking the college entrance examination. Some people who took the college entrance examination in 1977 continued to take the college entrance examination in 1980. It was not uncommon for them to spend several years to get into college.
The Chen siblings feel that they are still young and it is no problem for them to take the exam for a few more years, so they are in a very good mood and their family members support them to take the college entrance examination.
Chen Jinghua: "I can do better next year!"
Chen Jinghua feels that his performance is not very ideal. If he takes the exam again next year, he will definitely do better than this year.
Qin Mian had a heart attack when she heard this, "The results haven't come out yet, and you're already thinking about taking the college entrance examination next year. You kids are really frustrating."
Chen Mian said, "Children have their own blessings. They can take the exam as many years as they want."
Qin Mian said, "If you don't pass, go home and sell sweet potatoes."
Chen Juanjuan smiled, "We don't grow sweet potatoes at home."
Chen Jinghua: "Are you hungry? Have we eaten? If you can't sell sweet potatoes, you can still sell the pearls raised by mom and aunt."
Although the siblings didn't know whether mom and aunt could raise pearls, they also didn't know how to sell the pearls.
"Tell your grandpa and little brother to stop drawing and come in for dinner."
One month after the college entrance examination, Chen Juanjuan and Chen Jinghua received admission letters from their schools.
Chen Juanjuan was admitted to Capital Normal University's English major, and she hopes to become a teacher like her father. Chen Jinghua was admitted to Capital University's history major. They were both admitted to their favorite schools' majors. They
are going to college soon!
