Extra: Lu Family Brothers and Sisters’ Daily Life as Children (1)
The old house of the Lu family.
Mr. Lu's study was shrouded in the unique quietness of the afternoon, with only the steady voice of his tutor's English lectures echoing.
Lu Yannan sat at the desk, the notebook in front of him filled with professional English terms and analytical charts.
While his peers may still be struggling with spelling words, he has already started taking advanced finance courses taught entirely in English.
Mr. Lu’s training has always been strict, with time accurate to the minute.
The sunlight shines in obliquely through the large floor-to-ceiling windows.
Lu Yannan felt his eyes a little sore, so he pinched the bridge of his nose lightly, closed his notes temporarily, stood up and walked to the window, trying to relax his vision a little.
His eyes fell on the huge lawn in the backyard.
Lu Jianheng was like a busy little mole, working hard to dig a hole with a small shovel.
Lu Qiyun was rolling on the lawn next to him.
"Second brother, is this deep enough?" Lu Jianheng put down the small shovel, ran to the shade of the tree, and asked Lu Chixu, who was leaning comfortably on the recliner and playing the video game.
Lu Chixu stared at the screen, his fingers tapping rapidly, without even looking up. His voice was a mixture of impatience and perfunctory: "That's enough. Put your little brother in there, and next year, a new little brother will grow."
Lu Jianheng narrowed his small peach blossom eyes, his eyes shining brightly: "Really? Second brother, can you really grow a new brother?"
"Yeah, really, it's in the book. You're too young to understand these things." Lu Chixu said nonsense without even blinking, his mind completely focused on the game that was about to be completed.
Lu Jianheng turned his head to look at Lu Qiyun who was still rolling on the lawn.
"Second brother, you really know a lot." Lu Jianheng grinned and said, "I'll go now."
After saying that, Lu Jianheng put down the shovel, walked to the rolling Lu Qiyun, and coaxed him childishly: "Brother, third brother will take you to play fun things."
Lu Qiyun stopped rolling around in a daze, looking at his third brother with his round eyes. Although he didn't understand what he was saying, seeing that his third brother was laughing so happily, it must be interesting.
He stretched out his two small arms without hesitation and asked softly, "Third brother, hold me."
Lu Jianheng stretched out his arms with great effort, trying to pick up his younger brother who was not much shorter than him.
He took two steps panting and his little face turned red.
It’s really too heavy!
He decisively changed his strategy, put Lu Qiyun down, grabbed his brother's collar from behind, and half-dragged and half-pulled him towards the pit.
"Okay, little brother, jump in. Third brother will bury you. It will be so comfortable." Lu Jianheng squatted at the edge of the pit, panting, and tried to imitate the tone of his eldest brother when he was teasing him.
Lu Qiyun stood at the edge of the pit, looked into the hole which was slightly deeper than his knees, then looked up at his third brother's bright eyes and jumped directly in.
Seeing his younger brother go down, Lu Jianheng happily turned back to Lu Chixu and called out, "Second brother, I'm burying him."
"Yeah!" Lu Chixu didn't look up.
After getting permission, Lu Jianheng picked up a shovel and covered Lu Qiyun with soil.
First the feet were covered, then the ankles, and then the calves.
Lu Qijun in the pit lowered his head and looked at the mud sticking to his trouser legs and shoes. His little mouth pursed and his nose began to turn red: "Woo... Third brother, this is not fun..." His crying voice was about to burst out.
"Oh, don't cry!" Lu Jianheng panicked when he saw this. He stopped what he was doing, took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket, peeled it open, and stuffed the whole piece into Lu Qiyun's little mouth that was about to cry.
"Be good and eat candy. We'll plant the seeds well. After we're done, Third Brother still needs to water them!"
The sweet taste of chocolate instantly overwhelmed the unpleasant feeling.
Lu Qijun immediately fell silent, his cheeks puffed up, his little tongue trying to stir the sweetness, allowing his third brother to continue covering him with dirt.
When Lu Chixu passed the level and looked up, half of Lu Qiyun's body was covered with soil, like a small radish planted in a pit.
Lu Jianheng was holding a sprinkler and watering Lu Qiyun's plants.
The thin stream of water dripped onto Lu Qiyun's muddy hair and shoulders, making the newly covered soil even more wet and sticky.
"Lu Jianheng! You're such a fool." Lu Chixu jumped up from the recliner and rushed over: "That's a person, not a sapling. How can you possibly grow a new brother?"
He reached out and tried to pull his brother out of the pit.
"Hey, second brother, stop messing around!" Lu Jianheng opened his arms to protect his harvest: "I worked so hard to plant this."
Seeing that Lu Chixu was about to destroy it, he pouted: "If you move again, I will tell big brother that you taught me this, lululu~"
"Lu Jianheng!" Lu Chixu was furious after being bitten back, this brat.
He rushed over and knocked Lu Jianheng to the lawn next to him.
Lu Chixu took advantage of his age and weight and reached out to twist the soft flesh around his brother's waist.
"Ahahahahaha... Second brother, spare me, I won't dare to do it again, hahahaha..." Lu Jianheng twisted his body and struggled to dodge, but he couldn't help laughing, his little face flushed and he was about to laugh to tears.
And in the pit, the forgotten Lu Qiyun finally tasted the last bit of chocolate.
He stuck out his tongue, licked the corner of his mouth, and then twisted his body.
Not moving at all!
The sticky mud wrapped around him tightly.
He tried to move again, but still couldn't. He looked around and found that his brothers were having a great time nearby. He felt instantly overwhelmed with grievance.
"Wow~" A loud howl resounded through the sky.
In the study.
Lu Yannan had just returned to class for a few minutes when his eyes unconsciously swept out the floor-to-ceiling window again.
His body stiffened instantly, his eyes widening in disbelief.
"Teacher, I'm so sorry." Lu Yannan forced himself to suppress his inner speechlessness and raised his hand to interrupt the teacher's explanation: "We have to pause. My brothers... have gotten into trouble again."
"Please wait for me for a moment." His voice was calm and helpless beyond his age.
The tutor followed his gaze and after a brief moment of surprise, nodded politely: "Okay, Master Yannan, please do as you please."
Lu Yannan quickly stood up and walked quickly to the study door.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw that the door of the baby room at the end of the corridor had opened a little.
A figure in a one-piece pajamas was clumsily crawling towards him, using its two chubby little legs to support itself on the smooth floor.
It’s my younger sister Lu Shiman.
She raised her round little head, and her big black eyes caught a familiar figure.
Her little mouth immediately pursed in grievance, her eyes quickly turned red, and a faint whimper came from her throat.
She seemed to have seen a savior, and her little hands and feet immediately quickened their pace, babbling as she struggled to crawl towards Lu Yannan.
A young maid followed closely behind Lu Shiman, with obvious apology and helplessness on her face.
When she saw Lu Yannan, she hurried a few steps and bowed slightly: "Master Yannan, I am so sorry to bother you."
She helplessly looked at the little figure on the ground who was moving forward stubbornly: "The young lady just refused to sleep. She cried as soon as I put her down and insisted on crawling out..."
Lu Yannan's eyes moved away from his sister who was struggling to crawl on the ground, and looked at the maid. There was no expression on his face, and he just nodded calmly: "Okay, I understand. Leave it to me."
He interrupted the maid's explanation, his voice steady and with a sense of reliability that transcended his age.
After saying that, he strode forward, and when Lu Shiman was about to crawl to his feet, he bent down neatly.
His slender arms easily passed under his sister's armpits and gently lifted her up from the floor: "Little bastard, you are naughty again."
