Lu Xiaomei was older after all, so she was quite happy after hearing what everyone said. She knew it was not easy for her parents to have a child, and this time it was thanks to her third aunt's superb medical skills. She said sensibly, "Mom and Dad, I'm finally going to have a little brother. I will definitely help you take good care of him after he is born."
Lu Jianmin and Wang Lijuan looked at the cute children, and their joy increased a little more.
Wang Lijuan said gently to Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun: "When the little brother or sister is born, I will bring him to your house to play, okay?
Also, Xiaomei, your parents don’t ask you to take care of your little brother. All you need is for you to study hard and have a promising future, and not become a scoundrel like Lu Wei…”
As soon as Wang Lijuan mentioned Lu Wei, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads slightly, with helplessness on their faces.
Back then, before Liu Cuihua and Li Xiuying got into trouble, they hoped that Lu Wei could study like a normal child, so they gritted their teeth and sent him to school for a year.
But who would have thought that Lu Wei had no interest in reading.
In class, he was either daydreaming or making trouble. While the teacher was lecturing at the podium, he was secretly doing little things below.
During recess, other kids would gather together to play, but he would always cause trouble.
Once, his desk mate accidentally knocked his pencil case off his desk. Without saying a word, he raised his fist and hit his desk mate, leaving him with a black eye and a swollen face.
Another time, several children were jumping rope in the playground. He thought it was noisy, so he rushed over, snatched the rope and threw it far away, and even pushed one of the children to the ground.
During this year, he didn't learn a few words, but he beat people and caused trouble so many times that he couldn't count them.
After Li Xiuying learned about these things, she felt angry and helpless. She thought it was a waste of money to continue studying this book, so she simply asked him to drop out of school.
After Lu Zhendong learned about this, he kept repeating that children should not give up studying just because they are naughty. However, Liu Cuihua and Li Xiuying simply did not listen and even said confidently: "This can save some money."
Later, Liu Cuihua and Li Xiuying were sent to labor camps because of some things. Lu Zhendong and Lu Jianguo realized that they could not let Lu Wei continue to live like this, so they thought about sending him to school again, hoping that he would focus and learn some knowledge.
But at this time, Lu Wei's mind was already wild and he couldn't sit still.
In class, he either slept or made trouble. When the teacher criticized him, he talked back and even went against the teacher.
A few days later, he was asked to drop out of school again.
Lu Zhendong and Lu Jianguo looked at Lu Wei like this, feeling powerless, knowing that he was completely "hopeless".
After hearing what her mother said, Lu Xiaomei nodded repeatedly and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will study hard..."
Aunt Zhang watched this heartwarming scene from the side and said with a smile, "This is such a great joyous event! I have to hurry to the kitchen to cook some more nutritious food for Lijuan."
Lin Yuexi heard this and said, "Auntie Zhang, just help Lijuan cook a bowl of the bird's nest I bought last time!"
"Hey!" Aunt Zhang responded and quickly walked into the kitchen.
Lin Yuexi turned to Lu Jianmin and his wife and said, "Sister-in-law, you must take good care of your pregnancy in the coming days.
I will write down in detail the things you need to pay attention to during pregnancy. You must be extra careful about your diet and daily routine. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. "
Lu Jianmin and Wang Lijuan nodded repeatedly, their eyes full of trust and gratitude.
Less than half an hour after everyone finished talking and eating, Aunt Zhang brought a bowl of bird's nest from the kitchen.
Wang Lijuan's eyes were red. She took the bowl of steaming bird's nest, blew on it gently, and stirred it lightly with a small spoon. Warmth spread in her heart.
At this moment, Lu Jianmin remembered something and said to Lin Yuexi, "Yuexi, this bird's nest is too expensive. How can I let you spend money all the time?"
Lin Yuexi waved her hand and said with a smile: "Second brother, don't say that. Lijuan finally got pregnant, she must eat well..."
After encountering such a good thing, everyone stayed in a cold state for a while. As the sky gradually darkened, Lu Jianmin and his family prepared to leave.
Lu Jianmin said to Lin Yuexi: "Third brother's wife, you are really our lucky star! Don't worry, half of the money from the ginseng we grow will belong to you..."
When Lin Yuexi heard this, she waved her hands and said with a sincere smile, "Second brother, what are you talking about! We are all family, and we should help each other. How can we talk about this?
I helped sister-in-law Lijuan purely because I hope that she and the baby in her belly can be safe and healthy, not for these reasons. I won't take a penny from the ginseng sales in the future. You can save it for the child in the future. After the child is born, food, clothing and other expenses will cost money. "
Wang Lijuan heard this and said, "Yuexi, this won't work. You've helped us so much, we can't repay you. How about this! I know you won't want half, so I'll take 70% and you'll take 30%!"
Lin Yuexi was about to refuse, but Lu Cheng spoke up, "Yuexi, I think my second brother and his wife are also very sincere. Why don't we take 20% and they take 80%?"
Lu Jianmin and Wang Lijuan were afraid that Lin Yuexi would refuse again, so they said repeatedly, "Yuexi, that's it. We'll take our leave first. We'll go back to work on the land first, and come back to ask you for ginseng seeds in a few days..."
Seeing this, Lin Yuexi had no choice but to agree.
In fact, she doesn't need these at all, as there is already plenty of ginseng in the farm in her space!
Then he thought again, this is a good idea. When the time comes, when I can sell the ginseng in my space, I will have something to explain.
In this way, Lu Jianmin and Wang Lijuan took Lu Xiaomei home with full joy and expectations for the future.
Along the way, the family was laughing and talking, and Lu Xiaomei chattered about her longing for a future brother or sister.
Wang Lijuan's face was filled with a happy smile, and she would give Lu Xiaomei some advice from time to time. Lu Jianmin was filled with joy at the prospect of welcoming a new life, and his steps became much lighter.
As for Lin Yuexi, after a short rest, she also started to go back to work at the hospital. She had previously promised to teach Lu Jianmin and his wife how to grow ginseng, and she gave it to Lu Cheng.
Lin Yuexi carefully took out the ginseng seeds from her own space, handed them solemnly to Lu Cheng, explained the precautions in detail, and then plunged into the work in the hospital, devoting herself to the duties of the attending physician. She was busy between the ward and the operating room every day, doing her best for the health of the patients. People who knew her called her a Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is December, and the streets and alleys are gradually filled with the atmosphere of the New Year.
People began to buy New Year's goods, children were laughing and playing in the streets, and the air was filled with a festive atmosphere.
At this time, Lu Cheng's biological parents Gong Qiheng and Ye Shihan sent a telegram. The telegram was sincere, hoping that Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi could go to Beijing to celebrate the New Year and formally meet all the elders and juniors of the Gong family.
