Early in the morning, Lu Rong called for them to go back to the countryside.
Although the city is convenient, she still prefers the countryside. There is no stove or a warm kang (heated brick bed) here. Sleeping on a cold bed, she sneezed several times yesterday. And the children have no playmates here.
The family returned to Xiahe Village in a great hurry.
The news of Lu Yunzhou's return home spread like wildfire.
Distant relatives and guests came and went frequently at the house.
Lu Yunzhou and Qiao Wanyue entertained relatives at home.
Lu Yunzhou returned not only with his first-class merit plaque, but also with the title of "Family of Honor," delivered by the military leaders stationed in Lin County.
Many villagers from Xiahe Village went to join the army, but in the entire Lin County, only Lu Yunzhou was awarded a First-Class Merit plaque. The news of his glorious return spread throughout Xiahe Village.
To celebrate his return, the Lu family prepared a banquet for their guests.
Lu Rong hired the best state-run chefs. These chefs don't usually take private jobs, but when they heard it was the Lu family, they took a day off and brought their apprentices to cook for them.
Sister-in-law Lu and Brother Lu went shopping.
Lu Xingxing and Panpan also came to help.
The whole family was busy.
At night, the house was almost filled with the aroma.
The family sat in the main room to keep warm, with Sister-in-law Lu holding Lu Hui.
During the day, I was entertaining people almost from the moment I got back, leaving the floor covered in sunflower seed shells and candy wrappers. The house only quieted down at night.
"Why don't I see Dazhuang's wife?" Lu Yunzhou broke the roasted food in half, giving one half to Qiao Wanyue and the other half to Lu Hui.
Qiao Wanyue took a bite; it was very sweet.
Lu Rong put a handful of peanuts on the stove and said, "They're dead."
Lu Yunzhou: ?
Lu Rong recounted the whole story.
Lu Yunzhou's face scrunched up after hearing this. "That child is Yang Huaiyuan's?"
Lu Rong glared at him.
"Keep this to yourself; Yu'an can only be Dazhuang's child."
Lu Yunzhou had a lot to say, but the past few years he had been away from home had been truly tumultuous.
He nodded. "I won't make things up."
"Yang Ercui is here too?" He was still a little incredulous when he saw Yang Ercui today. The two families had never spoken to each other before, and today Yang Ercui had a more lively look in her eyes than before.
Lu Rong wasn't as averse to Yang Ercui anymore. "She's now a police officer in the city and has a boyfriend. Although she hasn't completely separated from the Yang family, the Yang family doesn't dare to mess with her now. She's doing quite well raising her younger sister."
Lu Yunzhou showed no expression.
"Yang Huaiyuan will be back soon."
His words were like a thunderclap.
Lu Rong frowned.
"Isn't he a stinking intellectual?"
Lu Yunzhou shook his head. "He was just sent down to a farm. He didn't have any serious crimes. Plus, his college entrance exam score was quite high. I think he got into a university in Beijing." He glanced at Qiao Wanyue cautiously.
Qiao Wanyue paused, momentarily stunned, as she ate the sweet potato.
Her subtle actions did not escape Lu Yunzhou's notice.
What department?
In his previous life, Yang Huaiyuan studied architecture.
Lu Yunzhou had already found out, but when she asked, he still felt a little down. "Architecture Department."
Qiao Wanyue replied expressionlessly, "Oh."
"If you don't like it..." Yang Huaiyuan's identity cannot withstand investigation; a single letter of complaint could end his schooling.
Qiao Wanyue shook her head, "No need."
She knew what Lu Yunzhou meant.
But if Yang Huaiyuan isn't allowed to go to university, how will he meet that man?
A smile flickered across her lips.
"Wanyue, I heard that Qiao Shanshan will also be going to school in the capital. Will she cause you any trouble?" Lu Rong asked worriedly.
Qiao Wanyue shook her head. "Probably not. She must have gotten through the review by exploiting policy loopholes. If she causes trouble, I'll write a letter of complaint to the school, and she can forget about going to school. As for Yang Huaiyuan," she sneered, "if he dares to mess with me, I'll cripple him."
The coldness in her tone was unmistakable.
The tightness in Lu Yunzhou's chest instantly vanished.
"However, he also brought someone back with him." Lu Yunzhou was a little embarrassed when he talked about it.
