Lu Chengbai and his wife had three sons and one daughter. Lu Minghao was actually the third child. His elder brother, second brother, and elder sister all died in the war. His elder brother died before he got married, and his second brother died when his child Lu Jianping was just one month old. His elder sister Lu Mingxuan also did not escape the same curse. Her child also died when he was only two years old.
At that time, there were revolutions everywhere, and Lu Chengbai and his wife were busy with their jobs and could not help take care of the children, so Lu Minghao's second sister-in-law lived with her children in her parents' home. Later, Lu Jianping's mother remarried, and Lu Jianping grew up in his grandmother's home.
When the country stabilized and Lu Chengbai and his wife wanted to take their child back, the child no longer recognized his grandparents. So he stayed at his grandmother's house for more than 20 years and became estranged from his relatives on his father's side.
As for Lu Mingxuan's son Qin Jianguo, he does come over from time to time, but he is still studying at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University and has two more days before he can have a holiday.
Lu Chengbai said this because he missed Lu Jianping, but the other person didn't want to come over, and no one could force him.
Song Nanting knew about this in her previous life, so she changed the subject and said, "Grandpa, after you left, Grandpa Chen asked about you. He asked when you would come again and wanted to continue playing chess with you."
As soon as she said that, Hua Yingyue also said, "If it's not the New Year, we can go together."
As a result, Lu Minghao's face darkened, "You all left and left me alone at home?"
Hua Yingyue sneered, "You live and eat in the army, so what difference does it make whether we are at home or not?"
Everyone started laughing.
No one brought up Lu Jianping's matter anymore, and the dinner was lively.
After dinner, Hua Yingyue urged Lu Jianan to take Song Nanting upstairs to have a rest, as riding in a car is the most tiring thing.
Mr. and Mrs. Lu Chengbai and Mr. and Mrs. Lu Minghao both live on the first floor, and the second floor is reserved for their grandchildren.
Song Nanting and his wife's room had been tidied up long ago. When Song Nanting opened the door, she was stunned.
Because it's so girly.
In this age dominated by black, gray and blue, pink is really rare. It must have cost a lot of money to buy it, and it can't be bought from ordinary places.
But when she turned her head and met Lu Jianansheng's hopeless eyes, Song Nanting couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You don't like it?"
Lu Jianan said with a headache, "It's hard to like it."
Song Nanting smiled, "But I like it very much."
Who doesn’t have a girlish heart? I’m already a lot older than I was in my two lifetimes combined, but I can’t resist seeing such a pink room.
Song Nanting reached out and touched the radiator. It was warm. It turned out that no matter what era, people with status would not suffer.
Lu Jianan packed their luggage and said, "You take a rest first. I'll go downstairs and pack the things I brought back."
Song Nanting was indeed tired, so she nodded, took off her shoes and went to bed.
Because the heating is not very strong, the bedding is very thick.
Song Nanting lay down and fell asleep. Lu Jianan closed the door and went downstairs.
Unexpectedly, the whole family was in the living room downstairs, obviously waiting for Lu Jianan.
Meng Qiulan pointed upwards and said, "Is Xiao Song resting?"
Lu Jianan nodded, "Yeah, I slept. I've been sleepy since I got pregnant."
"Go to sleep, we are all family, it doesn't matter." Meng Qiulan waved her hand, "Come here, let grandma take a look."
Lu Jianan was no longer at the age where he could act like a spoiled child to his relatives. If Lu Minghao had said this, he would probably have turned around and left, but since it was his grandmother who said this, he patiently went over and sat down next to her.
“You’ve grown up.”
Lu Jianan: “Yeah.”
Meng Qiulan said, "Your grandfather and I are also old."
Lu Jianan said nothing.
Meng Qiulan added, "Your wife is the one who will spend your whole life with you. No matter who you let down, you must not let down your wife, understand?"
Lu Jianan felt soft in his heart when he thought of Song Nanting, "Don't worry."
The old lady knew that her grandson was not good at speaking, so she nodded and smiled, "That's good."
Over there, Hua Yingyue was packing up the things they brought. Seeing so many pecans and the like, she couldn't help but be surprised, "Did you buy these?"
Lu Jianan said, "My godmother gave it to me."
Hua Yingyue laughed when she heard it, "It seems that our time was not wasted. She still misses me."
As she said this, she happily grabbed a handful of walnuts and directed Lu Minghao to crack them for her.
Lu Jianan thought his father would glare at him and say it was disrespectful as he did in the past.
As a result, I saw his father very naturally took a small hammer from the drawer and started to crack the walnuts.
Hua Yingyue smiled, "Do you find it incredible?"
Lu Jianan: “Not bad.”
But Hua Yingyue still said, "You have changed, and your father has changed too. You are not the same person as before, and your father is not the same person as before."
After saying that, Hua Yingyue patted her eldest son on the shoulder and lowered her head to look for treasure again.
Seeing the dried beans and other things in the package, he immediately perked up and said to the guard, "Buy some ribs and stew them tomorrow morning."
Seeing the pickled cabbage, he sighed again, "We also need pork belly with the skin, and we need to find a way to get some quail eggs."
Look again, wow, there are really a lot of them.
Hua Yingyue asked, "Why did you take so much? Will it be enough for you to eat when you return?"
"Enough." Lu Jianan's eyes were fixed on the hand that Lu Minghao used to crack walnuts. It was this hand that whipped Lu Jianan when he was a teenager in order to discourage him from joining the army.
Unfortunately, the whip broke and Lu Jianan was unable to follow their route.
After more than ten years away, I didn't expect that the person who used to be serious and uncompromising finally learned to bow to his family.
It’s not that he didn’t notice the change in Lu Minghao, he just couldn’t believe it.
