As soon as Mother Lu walked to the door, she saw Niupitang and several other children from the compound playing there.
"Niuniu, Pipi, Tangtang."
When Tangtang saw her grandmother, she ran over quickly, hugged her legs and said, "Grandma, we are back to see you and grandpa."
Mother Lu picked her up and said with a smile, "My granddaughter is so well behaved."
Niu Niu and Pi Pi also ran over and said, "Grandma, grandma, there are cute grandchildren here."
"Okay, okay, my grandson is also very well-behaved." Mother Lu said as she took the three children home.
The friends who were playing with them tried to stop them, saying, "Niuniu, Pipi, don't you want to play anymore?"
The two waved at them and said, "We are going back to accompany grandpa and grandma. We will play with you tomorrow."
Tangtang asked, "Grandma, where's Grandpa?"
"Your grandpa still has some things to do and will be back soon."
Xu Ning was cooking dinner in the kitchen. She steamed the dried fish she brought from Guangdong Province, as well as braised pork, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and stir-fried spicy and sour potato shreds.
"Xiao Ning, when did you come back?"
"Mom, I came back yesterday." Seeing that she was alone, he asked again, "Where's my dad?"
"Your dad is in the back and will be back soon."
"Then go wash your hands first. I've already prepared the meal. You said last time that the dried fish was delicious, so I brought some back this time."
Mother Lu smiled and nodded, then went to wash her hands with the toffee.
Lu's father also arrived soon after. During the meal, Xu Ning opened a bottle of Moutai and poured a glass for Lu's father and mother respectively.
"Dad, Mom, you don't have anything to do tonight, so have a couple of drinks to relieve your fatigue."
Mother Lu smiled and said, "Xiao Ning, I want to drink too?"
"Mom, what's the big deal? We don't drink it every day. We can just drink it once in a while."
Niu Niu said greedily: "Mom, pour me a cup too, I want to drink with grandpa and grandma."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pippi went to the kitchen and got out two wine glasses. Niu Niu picked up the bottle and prepared to pour the wine. The table was a little high and he couldn't reach it, so he prepared to climb onto a stool.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Lu tried to hold back their laughter as they watched his little movements.
Niu Niu had just climbed up and raised one leg when he was hit on the butt. He turned around and glared at the person who hit him, but when he saw it was his mother, his expression changed.
Ask ingratiatingly: "Mom, why did you spank my little butt?"
Xu Ning was so angry that he laughed, "Why should I spank you? You want to drink at such a young age, who did you learn this from?"
Niu Niu asked doubtfully: "Can't I drink?"
Mr. and Mrs. Lu each held a grandson and explained to them why they couldn't drink.
Tangtang shook her head and said, "Brothers, you are such a jerk. You do so many little things all day long. No wonder mommy spanks you. You deserve to be spanked if you don't listen."
Niu Niu and Pi Pi glared at her and said, "Sister is a little flatterer. She just likes to make sarcastic remarks and doesn't love her brother at all."
Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Xu Ning stuffed a piece of braised pork into each of their mouths to block their mouths.
Mother Lu asked, "Xiao Ning, I went to your parents' place yesterday and Xiao Mo told me that you were planning to open a clothing store. Have you decided when to open it?"
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to wait and see. Although the higher-ups don't have much control over people doing business, it's illegal after all. We're all public servants, and I'm afraid it will have a bad influence on you."
At the beginning, Xu Ning didn’t think too much about it, thinking that reform and opening up would soon begin and no one would care about the street vendors outside.
When she came back, she thought about it carefully on the train. Everyone in her family worked in important positions. If she was caught with this, it would be more trouble than it would take.
She discussed it with Song Mingyuan and decided that it would be better not to open a store first, but to sell a few pieces of clothing on the street so as not to arouse envy. If she opened a store, the nature of the business would be different.
Father Lu drank the wine in the cup and said, "You are right in thinking about it, although it doesn't matter if we open it now.
But after all, it is not legitimate, so it is better to be cautious. The higher-ups are already studying this matter, so let's wait a little longer! ”
When they were halfway through their meal, Lu Xiaotang came back. As soon as he drove the car into the yard, Niupitang ran towards him.
"Dad is back! Our dad is back!"
Xu Ning went to the kitchen to cook another dish and served him a bowl of rice.
Lu Xiaotang stood at the kitchen door and watched her busying around. "Wife, I miss you."
After hearing what he said, Xu Ning immediately looked into the living room. Seeing that Lu's father, Lu's mother and Niupitang were all in the living room, he breathed a sigh of relief.
She glared at him coquettishly and said, "You don't care about the occasion at all when you speak. My parents are out here."
"Okay, okay, I won't tell you now. I'll tell you when we get back to the room."
