Lu Yue is a very smart girl. She probably knows that if she goes to bed early at her grandparents' house, her aunt might make her stay at her grandparents' house to sleep at night.
So the little girl stayed up all night, determined to wait for her aunt to come and pick her up.
Aunt Lu Wanhong saw her little niece sitting on her little stool, her head nodding off like a chick pecking at rice.
However, when Lu Wanhong tries to take her niece to bed, the niece firmly refuses.
"No, no, Yueyue isn't sleepy. Yueyue doesn't want to sleep. She wants to wait for her aunt to come and take her home to sleep."
Seeing this, Lu Wanhong was both amused and exasperated. She looked up at her parents.
Lin Guojin said helplessly, "How about this, Wanhong, go find your sister. If your brother-in-law isn't busy, have your older sister come back and take the two children home to sleep."
Lu Wanhong could only nod in agreement: "Okay, Mom, I'll go take a look."
However, just as Lu Wanhong was about to leave, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Lu Wanling rushed back in a hurry.
"I'm back."
Upon hearing her aunt's voice, Lu Yue, who had been sitting on a small stool and dozing off at the door, suddenly perked up, stood up, and rushed towards the door.
"Auntie, you're back."
When Lu Wanling saw her little niece rushing over, she squatted down and picked her up in her arms.
"Auntie's back! Oh dear, why is Yueyue so sleepy? It's all because Auntie came back too late. Why isn't Yueyue sleeping in Auntie's bed?"
Lu Yue hugged her aunt's neck, as if afraid that her aunt would leave.
No wonder, the little girl hardly saw her aunt all day, except when her aunt came home from get off work for lunch, and the little girl saw her aunt briefly.
At other times, Lu Yue plays with her older brother and sister, or her aunt reads stories to her when she comes home from get off work.
She hadn't seen her aunt much.
So Lu Yue really misses her aunt.
Hugging her aunt's neck, Lu Yue said, "Auntie, Yueyue thinks you're not taking Yueyue home again today and are going to leave Yueyue at Grandpa and Grandma's house."
Lu Wanling smiled and said, "How could that be? Didn't Auntie promise Yueyue at noon that she would bring Yueyue and her brother home to stay today?"
Seeing her little niece being very affectionate with her older sister, Lu Wanhong smiled and gently patted her little niece from behind, saying, "You silly girl, why do you only like your older aunt now? Your younger aunt reads stories to you when she gets home from get off work, but you don't like your younger aunt at all."
Lu Yue turned to her aunt and said, "Yueyue likes her aunt too, but Yueyue likes her eldest aunt even more."
Lu Wanhong said helplessly, "Fine, if you like your aunt, go back to your aunt's place."
Lin Guojin smiled and said, "Wanling, can you take the two children back with you?"
Lu Wanling said, "Mom, it's okay. Dong Xia is waiting for me outside. Dong Xia and I will catch the last bus from the bus stop at the door. We can get off there and walk home in just a few steps."
As she spoke, Lu Wanling called out to her son, "Fanfan, pack your things, we're going home."
Feng Qifan agreed and quickly packed his things, then came out of his aunt's room with his schoolbag on his back.
After coming out, Feng Qifan looked behind his mother and asked, "Mom, isn't Dad coming home with us?"
Lu Wanling said, "Your dad is still early. There are a lot of people in the store today. When Mom came back, several tables of customers had just left. Dad will definitely be home late, so he asked me to take you and your sister home first."
A hint of disappointment appeared on Feng Qifan's small face.
Seeing her son's disappointed expression, Lu Wanling smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Can't Mom take you home?"
Feng Qifan immediately said, "No, I also want my dad to see my essay."
Lu Wanling said, "Alright, Dad and Mom have told me to take you home and have you put your essay on the table. Dad will read it when he gets home tonight."
Feng Qifan smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Then, Lu Wanling took the two children to say goodbye to her parents and sister, and went out to meet up with Dong Xia and Yang Xiaoxi. Together, they left with the three children.
Lu Chengzong and Lin Guojin also brought their youngest daughter to see them off.
I accompanied them to the bus stop not far from the family compound, watched Lu Wanling and Dong Xia board the bus with their three children, waved goodbye to them, and watched them leave.
Watching the last bus drive further and further away, Lin Guojin couldn't help but say, "Wanling and the others have worked very hard, so why don't we talk to them about finding a place for them around here? If it gets too late at night, they can stay here."
Lu Chengzong said, "There are houses in our courtyard, but Haidong and the others don't have the money to buy them now."
Lin Guojin said, "We can ask if we can rent it first."
Lu Wanhong immediately said, "Mom and Dad, didn't the family on the third floor say they wanted to sell their house?"
Lin Guojin said, "His house on the third floor is big, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, and it has been renovated. He wants 30,000 yuan. Where are your eldest sister and brother-in-law going to come up with 30,000 yuan right now?"
Lu Wanhong was somewhat surprised when she heard this: "Wow, it's that expensive?"
Lin Guojin looked at his youngest daughter's surprised expression and said, "What do you think? Your brother-in-law has taken out a loan to open a crayfish restaurant, so it's impossible for him to come up with that much money right now."
Lu Wanhong thought for a moment and muttered, "I wonder how much money my brother-in-law's shop makes every day now?"
Lu Chengzong said, "Right now, we probably don't earn much money every day. After deducting staff salaries, utilities, rent, and the cost of raw materials, and then deducting the loan repayments, your older sister and brother-in-law won't have much money left."
Lu Wanhong couldn't help but worry: "My brother-in-law works so hard every day, but in the end he doesn't earn much money. Isn't that a waste?"
