Lu Xiaotang took a bath and ate a bowl of noodles in the yard. Niupitang was very curious about his father and sat obediently on a small stool to watch him eat.
Lu Xiaotang picked up some noodles and prepared to feed them, but was stopped by Xu Ning: "Eat quickly, they just had lunch and haven't digested it yet."
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Xiao Mo took his brother-in-law's clothes to wash.
Lu Xiaotang and Xu Ning both stopped him and wouldn't let him go to wash.
"Xiao Mo, come over and play with Niupi Tang. I'll go wash after dinner."
"Brother-in-law, it's just two pieces of clothing. I'll rub them out in a moment."
Afraid that the two would stop him again, he ran outside with the basin, ready to take it to the creek to wash.
The two couldn't help laughing when they saw him running so fast. Lu Xiaotang asked, "Why didn't you see Xiao An?"
"Just now Jianmin and Dalin came to play with him, and the three of them went to the mountain together."
Lu Xiaotang picked up the poached egg from the bowl and put it next to her mouth. Xu Ning took a bite and said, "I just had a full meal, so I'm not hungry now. You can eat it yourself!"
Niu Niu stood up and walked up to him and said, "Dad, let me taste what this egg tastes like?"
Seeing that his brothers had gone to eat, Pippi also felt a little greedy, so he walked over and stood there looking at the fried eggs in the bowl.
Xu Ning looked at the two boys speechlessly. He had just finished his meal and his stomach was still full. He felt hungry again when he saw the food.
Lu Xiaotang put the egg between their mouths and let them bite it. Niu Niu took one bite and half of the egg was gone, and the remaining half was eaten by Pipi.
Afraid that they would choke, he fed each of them a mouthful of noodle soup. Thinking that his daughter had not had any yet, he prepared to give the other poached egg to Tangtang.
Xu Ning quickly stopped them: "Don't feed them anymore. They ate a lot at noon. If they eat more, they will have indigestion."
Then she said to Niu Niu and Pi Pi, "Go play with your sister. Mom will make you something delicious in the evening."
The two of them were very obedient. They went to play with toys with their sister while chewing the eggs in their mouths.
Lu Xiaotang finished the noodles in the bowl and talked to Xu Ning about the recent policies in Beijing.
"Some leaders have already proposed reinstating the college entrance examination. I estimate it won't be long before it's finalized."
“That’s great.”
It is already August, and the college entrance examination should be resumed in October. She can't remember the exact day, but the approximate time should be correct.
“My parents are university professors. If the college entrance examination is resumed, they will definitely be able to return to the city, but I don’t know if there will be any restrictions on candidates?
If the educated youth cannot take the exam, you can take the children with you to join the army. I will be transferred to the Beijing Military Region after the New Year, and then I will find a way to transfer Xiao An back so that our family can be together again. ”
Xu Ning was very happy when he heard that he was going to be transferred to the Beijing Military Region. This way, they would no longer have to live apart and the child could grow up with his father.
She smiled and said, "Okay, you make the arrangements. How are my parents now?"
"They are all doing well. They have resumed work and are still living in the military compound," said Lu Xiaotang.
"I also went to see your old house. Your grandmother and your uncle's family live there now.
There was also a middle-aged couple living there. I asked the neighbors and they said they were your grandfather's former servants.
They have their own home, not far from there, but the couple often live in your house. They don't get along with your uncle's family and they often quarrel.
Your uncle and your step-grandmother tried to drive him away several times but failed. The couple was also very capable and refused to move no matter what they said.
He also said that your uncle's family is shameless. They have already cut off all ties with you, but they still want to live in someone else's house. ”
Lu Xiaotang found it funny when he thought about the things he had found out.
Ask Xu Ning: "Do you know these two people?"
Xu Ning sighed and said, "Uncle Lin was picked up by my grandfather. He used to work as a doorman in my grandfather's house. Before my grandfather went to Hong Kong, he dismissed all the servants.
He had nowhere to go, so my parents let him stay with us and found him a job as a janitor at Peking University.
He was very smart. Not long after he started working at the school, he was noticed by a cook there, who promised her daughter to him.
My parents bought him a small house near our house for him to use when he gets married.
His eldest daughter and I were born in the same year. At that time, his wife had a difficult delivery and it cost a lot of money, all of which was given by my parents. As far as I can remember, our two families have had a very good relationship.
Aunt Lin would send any food she made to my house, and my parents would also take some of the distribution from school.
When something happened in my family, he was the one who ran around and helped to deal with it.
I heard from my dad that the things my grandpa left for my mom before he passed away were also entrusted to him. The couple you mentioned should be Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin, who help us look after the yard. ”
"It's mine. Give it to me."
The couple was talking here when they saw Niu Niu and Pi Pi starting to fight, and they were wrestling with each other.
Lu Xiaotang looked at his son in surprise. He was so well-behaved just now, but now they were wrestling with each other. You pulled my clothes and I hugged your neck. In a few seconds, we rolled to the ground.
Looking at the daughter-in-law next to them and the daughter sitting on a small stool, they seemed to have gotten used to it. They didn't even have any extra expression and just watched the two brothers rolling on the ground.
Seeing that it was almost done, Xu Ning coughed twice.
The two guys instantly let go of each other's hands, got up from the ground, looked at each other, snorted, and turned their heads away, neither of them willing to admit defeat.
Xu Ning asked: "What is the fight about this time?"
