Lu Haoyu put his hand on his brother's shoulder, holding him down to prevent him from getting out of the car, and asked, "Why do you want money? Didn't your sister-in-law give you money?"
Lu Haonan pushed his brother's hand away, opened the car door, got out, and then explained through the car window, "Ah..., you don't understand. Your sister-in-law's birthday is in a few days. I saved up that little money to give your sister-in-law a surprise, but I didn't know it was almost enough. I'm too embarrassed to ask Mom for it, so I can only rely on you."
Lu Haoyu also got out of the car: "When will you return it to me?"
Lu Haonan couldn't help but tease: "You kid really asked me to pay it back!"
Lu Haoyu said with a cold face: "I don't have any money either. This is the pocket money An An gave me."
At around four or five in the afternoon, the streets were filled with crowded people.
Due to the reform and opening up, various policies have been issued and implemented one after another. Now you can choose to use food coupons to purchase items, or you can buy them directly. It is no longer the case that you must have food coupons to buy things before. It’s just that using coupons to buy is a little cheaper than buying directly. The country has also implemented a policy to reduce the use and recycling of food coupons.
Lu Haonan had no intention of taking advantage of his brother and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll pay you back next time you come back from your mission." He then entered the gold shop, but his brother didn't follow him in. He then walked back to the door and shouted to Lu Haoyu, "Come in, what are you standing there for?"
"You're picking out a gift for your sister-in-law, why should I go in?"
"I don't know which one to choose, come and give me some advice."
"Um."
The two grown men didn't know what styles were, so they stood in front of the counter and asked the clerk to help recommend. After choosing for a long time, the two men were dazzled. Finally, Lu Haonan couldn't choose anymore and picked one that he thought looked good.
Lu Haoyu had no intention of buying it, but suddenly he saw a little golden rabbit on the box through the glass cabinet. He instantly thought of Gu Yuan and couldn't move his eyes away.
"Hello, could you please take this out?"
"Okay." The waiter brought the big red box full of ornaments to the counter.
Lu Haoyu pointed at the unique little golden rabbit and said, "I want this." Then he asked, "Do you have any gold beads?"
"Yes." The waiter understood immediately and then asked, "Comrade, do you have gold beads with patterns or without patterns? Which one would you like?"
"No, take six of these."
The waiter was quick: "Okay, wait a moment."
Lu Haonan glanced at the small ornaments in the big red box and said puzzledly, "Why only buy so few? Why not just buy a whole bunch?"
Lu Haoyu glanced at him, then ignored his brother and asked the waiter for a red rope.
"Well...Okay, you buy yours, I won't ask any more questions." Seeing that his brother didn't respond to his question, Lu Haonan stopped asking.
"Comrade, here you go." Seeing that all the things were taken, Lu Haonan asked the waiter how much it cost, then counted out the money and handed it over.
"Let's go."
The two men got into the car. Lu Haoyu was busy threading the needle while Lu Haonan carefully put the box aside. Then he glanced at his brother, sighing that he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and started the car.
Lu Haoyu was braiding the red rope all the way. Lu Haonan looked at him from time to time, while Lu Haoyu was fully focused on the red rope in his hand which had just been opened a little bit.
"Here we are. An An won't be coming today, so let's go to my house and have dinner first. It's time for dinner at home too."
"Um."
Xu Yulan was arranging the ornaments when she saw her two sons walk in one after another. She said happily, "You're back."
They both shouted, "Mom."
Xu Yulan smiled and said, "I'm back. Dinner will be ready soon."
"good."
After entering the door, Lu Haoyu walked to the sofa and sat down, then continued to work on the things in his hands.
Seeing this, Xu Yulan asked her eldest son, "What's going on with Ayu?"
Lu Haonan touched his nose with his hand and explained with some embarrassment: "Xiaoyu braided a red string for Anan."
Although Xu Yulan was a little shocked, she quickly accepted it. After all, she knew what her youngest son was like. "Is that so? That's good."
The meal was served and Lu Zhenlang hurried back from outside. The father and son bumped into each other head-on.
"dad."
"dad."
"Let's eat first."
The whole family sat together to eat, everyone ate their own food without talking, and the atmosphere at the table was a bit weird.
Suddenly, Lu Zhenlang asked coldly, "Have you withdrawn?"
"Um."
"If I don't ask you today, are you not going to tell me?"
"We'll talk about it later."
Xu Yulan noticed the tense atmosphere between the two men and suddenly put down her chopsticks, slammed her hand on the table, and yelled at her husband, "What are you doing? The children finally came home for dinner."
Lu Zhenlang hadn't expected his wife to be so angry. He whispered in her ear, "I'm just angry that he didn't want to discuss things with me even after he retired. He'd rather let Lao Wu do it than come to me. Who is his father, anyway?"
Seeing this, Xu Yulan looked at her youngest son again and gave her husband a way out in a gentle tone: "Then can't you just speak nicely? Why do you have to be so harsh?"
"I..." Lu Zhenlang was so upset that he couldn't say anything. Wasn't he extremely angry?
Lu Haoyu glanced at his father and explained, "I originally wanted to ask you to rescue me, but when I came back from completing the mission, I met my fifth uncle, so I asked him for help."
Lu Zhenlang tried to save face and explained, "Okay, it's better for you to step down. I didn't intend to let you in before, but you are so shameless." He didn't intend to explain at first. After all, how could a father explain to his son? But he had promised his wife to reconcile with this brat. A real man's word is his bond. Moreover, his wife had already said that if he didn't reconcile with his son, he would not be allowed to come back.
He was magnanimous and spared the boy.
It didn’t matter that Lu Haoyu was scolded by his father. They didn’t live together anyway, and it was natural for a father to scold his son. For example, his fifth uncle was also scolded every day before.
Since we talked it out, the atmosphere at home is no longer as tense as it was in the past two years when things happened.
Lu Haoyu stayed at home for a few days, slowly weaving the bracelet, and gave it to Gu Yu'an on the day of recall.
…
Many years later, Lu Zhenchuan completely retired and bid farewell to his old friend. Finally, he and Gu Ranzhou returned to the place where they met and lived in seclusion, not caring about worldly affairs.
