??Chapter 89: Huge misunderstanding!
At this time, Lu's mother was still concentrating on knitting a scarf in the living room, and had no idea what was happening outside.
Uncle Yuan was cooking in the kitchen and the aroma spread into the living room. Mother Lu smelled the aroma and realized that she was a little hungry.
"Uncle Yuan, is it time for dinner?"
Uncle Yuan: "There are two more dishes, they will be ready soon."
Mother Lu stopped what she was doing and muttered, "Why haven't those two come back yet?"
She figured Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen would be back by now, so she stayed in the entire afternoon. She took a nap, then woke up to continue knitting. Before she knew it, it was already evening.
After they got off the bus, they chatted briefly outside and wasted some time.
Mother Lu was just about to stand up and walk around when she heard some noise at the door. She immediately sat back down, hurriedly pulled out a handful of wool, picked up the knitting needles and started picking up the thread again.
Before Meng Chuyuan and the others came in, Mother Lu adjusted her sitting posture, raised her hand to push up her glasses, and put on an elegant look.
When Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen came in, Mother Lu was busy picking the thread and didn't look up.
"Mom." Lu Jinsen called her, but his mother ignored him.
"Mom, we're back." Meng Chuyuan walked in gracefully and ran towards the sofa area.
When Meng Chuyuan walked towards her, Mother Lu slowly raised her head and said softly, "Are you back?"
"..." Lu Jinsen glanced at his mother and saw that she didn't even look at him. He raised his eyebrows, put on a cold face, said nothing more, and walked away silently.
Mother Lu suddenly reached out to push aside the wool beside her and patted the sofa twice. She looked at Meng Chuyuan and gestured, "Come, sit down."
Mother Lu behaved very calmly in front of Meng Chuyuan, and there seemed to be nothing abnormal, but her eyes hid a hint of expectation.
She was looking forward to Meng Chuyuan sitting down, but she was also quite nervous. Perhaps they had too little contact, and she still felt somewhat unfamiliar with Meng Chuyuan.
Meng Chuyuan walked over without hesitation and sat next to Lu's mother.
She lowered her eyes to glance at the scarf that Mother Lu was knitting, and took the initiative to open the topic: "Mom, are you still knitting this scarf?"
Mother Lu hummed lightly, her tone questioning: "You also think my progress is slow, right?"
"No, this speed is okay." Meng Chuyuan saw that she had knitted half of it and there were no mistakes: "No one stipulates how many days it takes to knit a scarf. Just take it out and pick it when you have time."
"Yes." After hearing what she said, Mother Lu showed a dull face, with a hint of surprise in her pupils.
She had little patience for this kind of thing, and if she were asked to sit here and weave non-stop, she would definitely go crazy.
So she only practiced it when she was bored. Knowing that Meng Chuyuan was coming back today, she sped up the progress a little and did the superficial work.
After a while, Mother Lu came back to her senses. She said, "By the way, you said last time that there are other weaving methods. Do you think I can learn them now?"
Meng Chuyuan smiled, pointed at the unfinished product on her legs and said, "Mom, wait until you finish knitting this one, then I'll teach you, okay?"
"Why do we have to wait until this one is finished?" she asked, a little puzzled.
Mother Lu thought she didn't want to teach, and just as she was about to express her thoughts, she heard Meng Chuyuan say, "Because we can't give up halfway. If you learn something new today, then this one will be ignored, right?"
"What you said seems to make sense." Mother Lu pondered and began to convince herself: "Then I'll finish knitting this one first."
She is indeed prone to being short-lived in her work. If she learns a new knitting method today, she may throw away the one she is working on.
In order to unlock the new skill as soon as possible, Mother Lu continued to pick up the knitting needle and thread.
After Meng Chuyuan saw that she had calmed down, she sat beside her and watched for a while. Thinking that dinner had not yet started, she wanted to chat with Lu's mother.
She leaned closer and asked, "Mom, if I have a child in the future, how do you think I should educate the child? Or how should I be a qualified mother?"
Seeing Meng Chuyuan suddenly mention such a long-term issue, Lu's mother looked up at her in surprise.
Mother Lu was stunned for two or three seconds, then her gaze slowly moved down to Meng Chuyuan's lower abdomen. She raised her voice slightly: "Are you pregnant?"
Meng Chuyuan: “…”
After a while, Meng Chuyuan quickly denied it: "No, I just want to learn from you in advance."
When Mother Lu heard this, she felt relieved: "You brought up this topic so suddenly, I thought you were pregnant."
"But it's okay." Mother Lu said with a touch of comfort, "Don't put pressure on yourself. It's just a child. Just feed him well and make sure he grows up."
Meng Chuyuan's lips twitched slightly, revealing a forced smile: "Are you sure this is how you raise a child? Why do I feel like I'm raising a pet?"
Mother Lu thought about it for a moment, and didn't seem to have any other answer in her mind. She casually replied, "That's about right. It's the same principle. I didn't take care of the three children. Look, isn't Ah Ye doing well now?"
“…” I wonder how Lu Qingye and the others would feel if they knew that their mother treated them as pets.
Through this small test, Meng Chuyuan roughly understood that Lu's mother was not strict in disciplining her children and did not even have any high demands. It seemed that Lu Qingye and the others should all adopt a laissez-faire education style.
Fortunately, Lu Qingye was aware of the situation and did not indulge himself, so he was not as dissolute as his younger brothers and sisters.
Meng Chuyuan: "But mom, you have three children, and only Lu Qingye can take the lead."
She sighed, with a hint of complaint and disdain: "Those two are not doing well, who can be blamed?"
Mother Lu was also very happy that Lu Qingye could become her pride. As for the two little ones, let nature take its course.
She didn't have any strict requirements, as long as Lu Jinsen and Lu Qianling didn't get into trouble and grew up safely and healthily.
——
Lu Qianling came back from evening self-study. After the driver parked the car, she hurriedly got out of the car with her schoolbag and rushed into the house impatiently.
Before she even entered the living room, she shouted at the top of her lungs, "I'm back!"
As soon as she entered, she found the living room deserted, with only Meng Chuyuan sitting cross-legged on the sofa reading a book.
Meng Chuyuan heard Lu Qianling's voice in advance, so he looked up at Lu Qianling.
Lu Qianling suddenly slowed down, threw the heavy schoolbag over her shoulder, and walked towards Meng Chuyuan.
She asked curiously, "Why are you the only one here? Where are they?"
Meng Chuyuan shrugged and said calmly, "Maybe he went to rest."
Lu Qianling felt that they were definitely not resting, and probably just didn't want to see her.
She sat down somewhat dejectedly, and collapsed directly onto the sofa due to exhaustion.
"Are you hungry?" Meng Chuyuan put down the book in his hand and looked up at her: "Shall I make you a midnight snack?"
When Lu Qianling heard there was a midnight snack, she immediately sat up and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, her eyes filled with joy: "Okay."
