Professor Jia, unaware of his intentions, only felt that he was being polite and kept trying to give him money.
One wanted to give, the other didn't, and they went back and forth, neither willing to give in.
In the end, Professor Jia had no choice but to resort to trickery, saying in a pitiful voice, "You don't want the money because you don't want to acknowledge me as your grandfather?"
"Of course not, I just feel that there is too much money and I can't accept it."
Lu Yuanchao also felt wronged; he didn't want to become a live-in grandson-in-law.
“It’s not much, you can take it. There’s enough for you and Liqin, and your brother too. This is a small token of my appreciation as your grandfather.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanchao realized that the old man didn't intend for him to become his grandson-in-law; he simply wanted to give them money.
Good heavens!
My wife's grandfather is really extravagant; he just throws out tens of thousands of yuan.
Tsk, he's now living off a woman.
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Lu Yuanchao quickly thanked him.
Xu Dong and Lu Jiefang watched with envy. If they hadn't also made a fortune in the past few months and become millionaires, they would probably have been jealous.
Mr. Jia also gave gifts to Xu Dong and Lu Jiefang.
Lu Yuan had suggested that they visit the Friendship Store in Haishi, and he actually went and bought a lot of things as gifts.
Lu Yuan brought the most things, giving each of Xu Dong and the other two a bag, and he still had four large suitcases left.
Lu Yuan and his group did not linger in the county town, and had Xu Dong and the others drive back to the Changhe Brigade.
The car caused a sensation as soon as it entered the village.
"They're back, they're back..."
The first person to see the car ran quickly into the village, shouting as they ran.
There's no need to explicitly say who's back; just by looking at his excitement, you can tell it's Lu Yuan and the others.
When Lu Yuan left home, Sun Maodou heard him say that he was going with Xu Dong, Lu Yuanchao, and a few others to find the old man in the cowshed's relatives. This news spread like wildfire throughout the village.
Now Lu Yuan has returned, but he brought back not the old man from the cowshed and his relatives, but an old professor from the Jia family.
I heard that the Jia family was sent to the countryside because of this old professor. Now that he has been found and brought back, the Jia family has been exonerated.
Now the Jia family's status is completely different.
They heard that this old professor had lived abroad for over forty years, and they were curious to see what someone who had lived abroad for so long would become, and whether he would be particularly stylish.
Everyone went out to see what was going on out of curiosity.
Xu Dong drove Lu Yuanchao and Professor Jia home first. Lu Guoan, Wang Hongmei, and Zhong Zhiping were also there with their children. Lu Jiefang got out of the car there as well.
Seeing the Jia family and Professor Jia weeping in each other's arms, Lu Yuan quickly urged Xu Dong to drive.
He didn't want to see such a sad scene; his wife and children were waiting for him at home.
The car was some distance from the Lu family's courtyard when it saw that the gate was full of people, including Wen Moxue and a group of children, Gao Weishan and Xiao Biyun with Gao Mingzhu, and Yu Shaoheng with his younger brother.
Even Old Liu was standing there leaning on his cane.
Upon seeing the car, everyone except Old Liu started running towards it, waving as they ran.
"Dad, eldest brother, fourth brother!"
...
"Dad, eldest brother, fourth brother!"
...
"Brother, eldest nephew, fourth nephew!"
Yu Xiaodi shouted after Gao Mingzhu, "Brother, eldest nephew, fourth nephew!"
"Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan, you're finally back!" Yu Shaoheng exclaimed, not to be outdone.
The car stopped, and Lu Yuan, disregarding Sanbao and Sibao, jumped out of the car first. Ignoring the many people around, he stepped forward and hugged Wen Moxue tightly.
"Wife, I miss you so much!"
Perhaps the two had indeed been separated for quite a while this time, and Wen Moxue really missed him. Ignoring everyone's teasing expressions, she responded enthusiastically, "Husband, I miss you too."
"Eek...tsk tsk tsk..."
Yu Shaoheng joked with a smile.
Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue ignored him and hugged each other tightly to ease their longing.
"Daddy, hug me!"
"Daddy, hug me!"
A group of little kids eagerly clamored for Lu Yuan to hold them.
Lu Yuan couldn't bear to let go of his wife. "Go find your eldest brother and fourth brother."
This worked, and they immediately stopped arguing with Lu Yuan and went to find Sanbao and Sibao.
"Cough cough..."
Seeing that the two were reluctant to part for a long time, Gao Weishan couldn't help but pretend to cough twice to remind them to stop.
Wen Moxue then gave Lu Yuan a shy nudge.
Lu Yuan reluctantly let go of his wife, glanced at his father, and then greeted them one by one.
"It's good that you're back!" Xiao Biyun said, her eyes red.
The group entered the courtyard, and Xu Dong was about to leave when Wen Moxue called him.
"Xiaoqin and Wenshu are cooking. You can stay and eat before we go back together. Xiaojun has already gone to pick up Grandma Xu."
Xu Dong nodded in agreement.
Qian Bing and Xu Guowu insisted on returning to the sanatorium no matter how much Lu Yuan tried to persuade them to stay, so Lu Yuan didn't force them in the end.
Hearing the commotion, Lu Xiaoqin and Wei Wenshu came out with a spatula and a kitchen knife.
Lu Xiaoqin was very excited to see them.
"Big brother, Dongzi, you're finally back."
Xu Dong was naturally excited to see his wife, and he couldn't take his eyes off her.
"Tsk tsk, no need for dinner, we've already had our fill of dog food," Lu Yuan joked.
Although I couldn't understand what he was saying, I knew he was making fun of people.
Lu Xiaoqin blushed instantly.
"I'll go into the kitchen first to cook. With the last two dishes, we can eat right away."
After saying that, he turned around and went into the kitchen.
Wei Wenshu hurriedly followed.
The meal was quickly prepared, and at this time Lu Xiaojun also brought over Grandma Xu and Xu Dong and Lu Xiaoqin's child.
Two large tables were set up in the main room, one for adults and one for children. There were also two cribs next to them, where Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu lay.
After a lively and enjoyable meal, Lu Yuan remarked that he hadn't had such a delicious meal in a long time.
"Xiaoqin's cooking skills are amazing. The dishes she stir-fries taste different from others and are even better than those in restaurants."
Wen Moxue chimed in, "Xiaoqin's cooking skills are so good, if she opens a restaurant in the future, it will probably be packed with customers every day."
"Sister-in-law, private restaurants are not allowed to be opened now," Yu Shaoheng reminded her.
Lu Yuan didn't care at all. "Just because they don't allow it now doesn't mean they won't allow it in the future. Who knows, they might allow it in the future."
No one took this seriously, and they chatted and laughed about other topics.
Lu Yuan then began distributing the gifts, and everyone received one.
Grandma Xu gestured to Xu Dong that he should also distribute gifts to everyone. Xu Dong didn't know how to respond, since he hadn't actually gone abroad and therefore had no gifts to bring.
Seeing his predicament, Lu Yuan took the initiative to help him out.
"Grandma Xu, Dongzi didn't go abroad with us."
Now that the mission is complete, there's no need to hide the fact that some of them didn't go abroad with us.
"Huh? You didn't go?"
Grandma Lu was very surprised, "If he didn't go abroad, where has Dongzi been these past few months?"
