"Because Lu Haici and I are good friends, Lu Haici invited me to his home for dinner." Qin Ming said as a matter of course. As a child, he naturally didn't know about the Lu family's dinner party, so he thought that Lu Haici invited him to his home for dinner because they were friends.
Zhang Hongping thought for a while: "Did Lu Haici invite other children?"
"Yes, there is Ji Yang..." Qin Ming called out the names of five people in a row, "Ah grandma, I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to Ji Yang's house." As he said that, he ran outside.
Zhang Hongping was of course worried. She thought about it, picked up the basket, filled it with half a pound of rice and some vegetables, and chased after him. Zhang Hongping thought that if her grandson went to Lu's house and had no food to eat, then she would be embarrassed by carrying her grandson's food to the Lu family. If Sun Zi really ate at Lu's house, then she was being polite by bringing his food with her. Deep down, Zhang Hongping hoped that Sun Zi went there for nothing.
When Qin Ming arrived at Lu's house, the children had already arrived.
"Hello, Auntie." Qin Ming was still a little embarrassed when he saw Lin Qingqing, but the little boy was very thick-skinned. "Auntie, Lu Haici invited me to dinner." You can tell from what he said.
Lin Qingqing didn't expect Lu Haici and Qin Ming to be friends, but she welcomed all of Lu Haici's friends: "Hello, please come in, Lu Haici and other children are inside, I'll take you in." Qin Ming
blushed: "Thank you, auntie."
The dishes on the table in the empty room have been served, ten dishes, six children, plus pumpkin cakes, sweet potato mash, cabbage and cornmeal dumplings, Lin Qingqing didn't serve rice to the children. After all, pumpkin cakes, sweet potato mash and cabbage and cornmeal dumplings can be eaten as staple foods. If rice is served, the children may be full.
"Lu Haici, I'm here." Qin Ming said loudly before entering the room.
Before Lu Haici opened his mouth, Ji Yang shouted, "Come quickly, if you don't come, we will have to eat." Aunt Lu said that the children hadn't come yet, so they couldn't eat, and they had to eat with the children. So Ji Yang, who arrived first, was so greedy. As
soon as Qin Ming entered the house and saw so many dishes, his eyes lit up: "Wow, there are so many delicious foods, more than ours."
Listening to his childish talk, Lin Qingqing couldn't help laughing: "Then you eat more."
"I might have eaten." Qin Ming said, "I want to eat more and grow up quickly. My grandfather said that I have to grow up strong so that I can join the army and fight and drive away the bad guys."
"Qingqing..." Yu Xiuyao's voice came from outside, "Guests are coming, come out for a while."
"Here they are." Lin Qingqing let the children eat as they pleased, and she went out to see who the guest was.
The result...
"This Lu Cheng's wife..." Zhang Hongping didn't expect that this place was really hosting a party, nor did she expect that there would be so many people. She stood in the yard and looked into the room, and saw her grandson and several other children sitting together. There were quite a lot of dishes inside. "Well, Xiao Ming is ignorant and has caused you trouble. This is Xiao Ming's food." Fortunately, she brought half a pound of rice. Otherwise, if she brought sweet potatoes, wouldn't she be embarrassed?
The food was so good, and if she brought sweet potatoes, she would lose face.
Lin Qingqing didn't expect it to be Zhang Hongping, but when she saw Zhang Hongping's embarrassed look, Lin Qingqing immediately smiled and said, "Welcome, welcome, come in and sit down." No matter what happened last time, at least it wasn't embarrassing, and now Zhang Hongping is here. After all, she is older and the wife of Teacher Qin, so Lin Qingqing has to give her a chance. Even if it's not for the previous reasons, she has to deal with it properly because Qin Ming is now Lu Haici's friend.
Zhang Hongping knew from the fight between Qin Ming and Lu Haici that this girl looks young, but she is not as brainless as Yang Mailian. She is a smart person. Now that Qin Ming and Lu Haici are on good terms, she naturally can't turn against Lin Qingqing. Furthermore, from Yang Mailian's case, we can see that children learn by example. What Yang Mailian said in front of her grandson was said by her grandson in the blink of an eye. Therefore, Zhang Hongping would not say anything bad about others in front of her grandson.
"Lu Cheng's wife, you are welcome." Zhang Hongping also smiled and said, "This is our Xiao Ming's lunch. The child came in a hurry and forgot to bring it. I brought it to him."
"No, no, auntie is so polite. No wonder you taught Qin Ming so well. Qin Ming invited our Lu Haici to eat cake in the morning, so Lu Haici invited Qin Ming to dinner in the evening. If auntie gave me the lunch, then shouldn't I also give you the money for the cake?" Lin Qingqing joked.
Zhang Hongping knew that the small cake was exchanged between Sun Zi and Lu Haici, but she was still happy that Lin Qingqing praised Sun Zi like this. This girl is good at quarreling, and her words are also beautiful. "Then I won't be polite. Our old Qin will be back soon. There is still something burning in my stove. I will go back first."
"Auntie, have a cup of tea before you leave." Lin Qingqing generously persuaded her to stay.
"Come for tea next time." Zhang Hongping said politely, and then left. There are many people in the Lu family. They are all acquaintances. She saw them coming yesterday. She is too embarrassed to stay in the Lu family now.
After Zhang Hongping left, Lin Qingqing continued to entertain everyone. However, the military wives present were silently thinking about Lin Qingqing. The quarrel happened yesterday, but today Lin Qingqing was able to be polite to Zhang Hongping, as if nothing had happened yesterday. The wife of Deputy Regiment Commander Lu is a smart person. The
Lu family was very lively in the evening, especially with many children. At first there were six children, and then children from other families came back from school, and they came one after another, and there were more people. However, those children were arranged to sit at Lu Haici's table. The six little kids at that table couldn't finish so many dishes, so it was just right to arrange these children there.
The children's table was eating happily, and the men were eating happily in the hall, drinking and bragging. In comparison, the women in the yard were much more harmonious. This was also the reason why Lin Qingqing arranged the women in the yard. If the men were arranged in the yard, wouldn't the sound of their conversations be heard ten miles away?
The meal started at around 5:30 and ended at around 7:30. After the meal, the military wives and Lin Qingqing washed the dishes together, and then Lu Cheng and the men moved the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks back to the cafeteria. When the Lu family was completely quiet, it was already 8 o'clock.
The children were sent back to each household because Xiuyao's son, Lu Haici, first mentioned that Da Wangge was sent back. Although it is safe in the family compound, who knows if the kids will run around when they go back? It is reassuring to have a young man escorting them.
"It's a little strange to be so quiet all of a sudden." Lin Qingqing said, looking at the deserted compound. Lu Cheng
said, "I'll get used to it in the future."
Lu Haici said, "Mom, today the kids all said that my mom is amazing. They all said they want a mom as amazing as you." He stood beside Lin Qingqing, holding Lin Qingqing's clothes with his little hands, with admiration, excitement, and joy in his eyes. It was also at this moment that he completely let himself go in front of Lin Qingqing, just like in front of Lu Cheng. The envy he received today was more than what he had received in the past five years combined. From today on, he can say loudly that he is a child with a mother and his mother loves him very much.
"Is that so... What a pity." Lin Qingqing touched his head, "There is only one like me, unique and unprecedented."
"Hehe..." Lu Haici laughed, "Ji Yang said that he wants his father to marry him a stepmother."
Lin Qingqing: "..." Oh my God, little hero, you want your father to marry two wives at such a young age, do you want to wait until 67 years later to send your father to labor education?
"What did you say?" Lin Qingqing asked curiously.
Lu Haici said, "I said, what if Ji Yang's father marries another wife who is still not as good as my mother? Ji Yang said, let his father marry another wife."
Lin Qingqing: "...then let your father also marry another wife to be your mother?"
Lu Cheng, who was listening to the gossip nearby, almost choked to death when he heard Lin Qingqing say this. He immediately walked into the small room, he was worried that if he continued to listen, he would get angry.
"Then don't." Lu Haici said immediately, "I have one mother, I don't want my father to marry another mother."
"What if your father insists on marrying another mother?" Lin Qingqing teased him.
"Well..." Lu Haici suddenly thought of an idea, "Then mom, I will marry you, I will definitely not marry another wife."
"Shut up." Lu Cheng came out of the small room, he really couldn't stand his son's stupid talk, "That's your mother, children can't marry their mothers, you can only marry a girl your age, understand?"
Lu Haici pouted and said to his father: "Then I will grow up, I will grow to be the same age as mom."
"Then your mom will be old by then." Lu Cheng said.
"What are you talking about? You are old." Lin Qingqing was unhappy, even if Lu Haici grew up, she was not old, okay?
Lu Cheng: "..."
Lu Haici also echoed: "Yes, Mom will not grow old, only Dad will grow old."
This statement dealt a fatal blow to Lu Cheng. He is 28 years old this year, and Lin Qingqing is only 19. He is nine years older than Lin Qingqing. So... maybe when he is old, she is really not old yet.
Suddenly, Lu Cheng stopped talking, walked directly into the small house, and then jumped into the pit.
Lin Qingqing followed in curiously, only to see that the squat toilet pit inside had been dug very large, and the excavated soil was outside.
Lu Haici also followed in, and when he saw the situation inside, he looked curious: "What is Dad doing in there? Is he going to build a cellar?" There is a cellar in my aunt's hometown, and he is also someone who has seen a cellar, so he asked this question. At this time, Ji Yang ,
a kid next door, was also discussing with his father about marrying a stepmother.
