Chapter 700 A Family of Four
Lu Lanxu naturally didn't know this.
After class, tomorrow will be the Chinese New Year.
So the school gave us two days off. Even though it was a holiday, we still had to stay in school. This was the rule. Even Lu Lanxu couldn't go out.
He had already told Zhu Suisui that he would not go back home for the New Year this year, but he never expected that Zhu Suisui really had no intention of calling him.
When I got back to the dormitory, I asked the dorm manager if there were any phone calls today.
Sure enough, not.
Lu Lanxu pursed her lips, thought about it, picked up the phone and made a call.
The person who answered the phone was Mr. Lu.
When I found out it was Lu Lanxu calling, I asked a few questions about the situation at school.
Lu Lanxu replied briefly and wanted to focus on Zhu Suisui.
But after asking, Mr. Lu was very ruthless, "Since everything is fine with you in school, I am relieved. I will hang up first."
Then there was a busy tone on the phone.
Lu Lan Preface: "..."
Lu Lanxu called again, but no one answered.
This made him quite helpless.
Guessing that the call wasn't going through, Lu Lanxu had to put down the phone, thinking about trying again later after eating in the cafeteria.
It's time to leave.
The dormitory manager, however, winked at him and said, "Xiao Lu, you are so lucky."
Lu Lanxu: “?”
This made Lu Lanxu a little confused.
But he didn't ask any more questions. He picked up the textbook in his hand and went to his room.
The room where Lu Lanxu lived was relatively quiet. It was a single-person dormitory. It wasn't very big, but it was very complete.
He took out his key and tried to open the door to go in, but he found that the door was ajar.
There seemed to be some movement inside.
This surprised Lu Lanxu a little. No one would come into his room, and he clearly remembered that he had locked the doors and windows before leaving.
Lu Lanxu was a very smart man. When he thought about Mr. Lu's attitude and what he had said to the dormitory manager, his heart beat faster. He took a deep breath and slowly opened the door.
Inside the house.
The room is about 30 square meters and is fully equipped with a bed, desk, wardrobe and washstand.
The floor of the room, which was originally clean, was now filled with things. Two cute children, wearing pretty clothes, were sitting on the bed and crawling around each other.
A small bed was placed in the previously empty space, and a woman was standing next to it, half bent over, humming a song and wiping the bed.
When Lu Lanxu lived here before, it was completely deserted. But now, although things are scattered everywhere and it is messy, it feels warm.
Lu Lanxu felt like she was dreaming.
His eyes welled up.
The two children soon discovered him. They had been separated for a year, but they had not forgotten him. They stretched out their hands in his direction and shouted, "Daddy—"
Zhu Suisui turned around and saw Lu Lanxu coming back. He was still standing there, not knowing what he was thinking about. She glared at him and said, "Why don't you come in? Your children miss you. Go and play with them."
Only then did Lu Lanxu come to his senses.
I am not dreaming.
The wife and children are real.
Lu Lanxu strode forward, casually threw the things in his hands on the desk, hugged his left and right hands, and kissed each other.
Nanfeng and Zhiyi giggled with joy.
They have not forgotten Lu Lanxu at all. Even after being separated for half a year, they still recognize Lu Lanxu.
Looking at the cute pair of children, Lu Lanxu felt satisfied in his heart. After playing with them for a while, he put the two children on the bed and went to help Zhu Suisui.
Seeing him so self-conscious, Zhu Suisui did not refuse and said, "Father and mother have taught Nanfeng and Zhiyi very well. I haven't been home to see the children for a long time, but after I went back, they recognized me and knew to call me mom."
"Later I asked my mother and she said that she had people show us pictures every day and teach them how to call us."
Lu Lanxu's eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes fixed on Zhu Suisui, and she whispered, "Thank you for your hard work, father and mother. Thank you for your hard work, too. You specially came here during the New Year. I'm afraid your family visit leave will not last long."
"If the mountain is not with me, I will go to the mountain. We used to celebrate the New Year together, and I don't want to be separated from you this year." Zhu Suisui stopped what he was doing, looked at Lu Lanxu seriously, and replied.
Hearing her answer, Lu Lanxu's heart seemed to be filled with a warm spring, making him feel full of joy.
Lu Lanxu said: "Thank you, Sui Sui."
Zhu Suisui glanced at him and said, "You told me not to say thank you before, why are you thanking me now? You will be so lonely if you spend the New Year alone here this year. I thought, since I have time, I can bring the kids over. There are always more solutions than problems."
Because of his last visit, the people here already knew Zhu Suisui. Plus, Mr. Lu had greeted him, so it was easy for Zhu Suisui to come in.
She did not ask Lu Lanxu to pick her up, as she was already familiar with the route. She carried many bags of things to the dormitory, registered, and asked her uncle not to tell Lu Lanxu, saying that she wanted to give him a surprise. Now it seems that the surprise was well worth it.
However, Zhu Suisui pointed to a pile of things on the ground and said, "The child's diapers, milk powder, food, clothes, toys, and this bed. Now that you're back, you can do it. I'm almost dying of exhaustion."
Not only did they have to bring two children, but even though the visit was only for two days, there was still a lot of things for the children. Zhu Suisui also asked Mother Liu to help prepare some delicious food that was easy to carry, and brought it all over at once.
Although celebrating the New Year here is definitely not as good as celebrating it in the Mainland, Zhu Suisui feels that it should still feel like a New Year.
But the most important thing is that the family of four celebrates the New Year together.
This is the meaning of the New Year.
Last time the couple celebrated the New Year alone, but this time with a child, their small family seems to be becoming more and more reunited.
Lu Lanxu's eyes were gentle, "Okay, you go and accompany the children, and let me do all this."
The loneliness I thought I had felt was completely dispelled with the arrival of my wife and children.
How can life be the same no matter who you are?
Watching Zhu Suisui interacting with the children, Lu Lanxu's heart was filled with tenderness.
Lu Lanxu is very meticulous in doing things, probably because of years of independent living, so all these things that were originally placed in a mess have now been tidied up.
A large piece of clean sewn cloth with cotton inside was placed on the ground, so that the children could crawl on the ground without worrying about getting dirty.
The small bed was found by the dormitory manager. Lu Lanxu found a way to make a fence on it and put it together with her own bed. In this way, she made a larger bed that was big enough for a family of four to sleep in.
Wait until everything is done.
Lu Lanxu raised her eyes, and the sunlight was shining on Zhu Suisui and the children.
Notice the eyes.
Zhu Suisui confidently said to Lu Lanxu, "I'm hungry, and the children are hungry too."
