Chapter 46
Ji Yang said: "I asked, and my mother said that all the money in our family is mine, and no one can ask for it. If anyone asks for it, they are just begging. I also told my mother that I want to make money like Lu Haici to support my mother in her old age, and then my mother cried. Oh..." Ji Yang sighed and continued, "Really, my mother cried for a long time like a child, even more than me. My father said that lesbians are more likely to cry, so gay men should be nice to lesbians, so that lesbians will not cry."
Ji Yang's words revealed big news, but the kids didn't understand.
Qin Ming heard Ji Yang's words and followed suit: "My mother won't cry, my father listens to my mother."
Lu Haici thought of his father picking him up yesterday and was stopped by his mother. He also agreed with Qin Ming's words: "My father also listens to my mother. My mother is the eldest in our family." Next is his father. He is the third child. But he knows that as long as he follows his mother, he doesn't have to be afraid of his father.
Qin Ming laughed: "I am the eldest in my family, my mother is the second, and my father is the third."
Ji Yang looked at Qin Ming enviously: "You are so awesome."
Chen Zhou listened to them and followed: "In our family, my father is the eldest, I am the second, my sister is the third, and my mother is the fourth." Chen Zhou has an older sister who is nine years old and is in elementary school. "My mother didn't want my sister to go to school, but my father wanted her to go. My father glared at my mother and she didn't dare to say anything. But I know that behind her back, my mother always talked about my sister, asking her not to go to school, saying that it was a waste of money for a girl to go to school, and it would be better to honor my grandmother. But my father said that it was good to go to school, and that if a girl went to school, she could become an arts soldier and earn money in the future. Tell me, who is right, my father or my mother?" The worries of kindergarten kids: when what their father says is different from what their mother says, who should they listen to?
Lu Haici said, "Whatever my mother says is right, and I will definitely listen to my mother." He almost didn't hesitate.
Another person who was hesitant was Qin Ming: "I will definitely listen to my grandma. Everyone in our family has to listen to my grandma, but my grandma loves me the most." Even a little kid knows who is the head of the family.
Ji Yang said: "My dad listens to my mom, and I... I listen to Lu Haici."
Lu Haici: "..."
Chen Zhou: "..."
Qin Ming: "..."
Lu Haici: "Why do you have to listen to me?" He is not Ji Yang's father or mother.
Ji Yang: "Because we are good friends." In fact, what Ji Yang wanted to express was that if he listened to Lu Haici, he could eat the food cooked by Lu Haici's mother.
Lu Haici: "Well, are you guys still going to the cafeteria for lunch?"
Qin Ming: "I'll go, and my grandpa and grandma will go too. They're so annoying. They ate the food I brought home yesterday, and they're going today too. But I'm not going with them, I'm going with you."
"I'm going today too." Chen Zhou said, "I brought my dad's cafeteria rations and told my dad about it. My dad told me to go eat with you. My dad said that men should eat with men."
Ji Yang: "Lu Haici, what did your mom cook today?"
"Yes, I want to eat it too." Qin Ming even sipped his saliva.
Chen Zhou also looked at Lu Haici.
Lu Haici said honestly: "I don't know, my mother didn't tell me. But I had seafood porridge in the morning, very delicious seafood porridge."
Qin Ming: "What is seafood porridge? I've eaten white rice porridge and sweet potato porridge, but I've never eaten seafood porridge."
Lu Haici: "It's rice porridge with meat, white meat."
Qin Ming: "Isn't that meat porridge?"
Lu Haici: "... But my mother said it's seafood porridge."
Qin Ming: "Then it's seafood porridge, your mother must be right."
Ji Yang: "Yes, Lu Haici's mother must be right."
In the hearts of the little ones, a mother who cooks delicious dishes is right in everything she says.
Then the little ones chatted for a while, and when it was time to get out of school at noon, they picked up their lunch boxes and canteen rations and rushed to the third company's kitchen. They didn't run like they did yesterday, because Lin Qingqing told them that no one was eating in the cafeteria at this time, so they were asked to walk slowly.
The four little kids walked side by side, which was quite impressive. Someone met them on the road. Ji Yang, Lu Haici and Qin Ming were quite famous in the family courtyard. Qin Ming was the naughty kid in the family courtyard, and he was famous because he was the grandson of Teacher Qin. Ji Yang became famous because of Xu Huijuan, who was once a famous virtuous stepmother in the family courtyard. And Lu Haici became famous because of the battle between Lin Qingqing and Yang Mailian. After a few days of fermentation, this matter became known to everyone.
But even if everyone knew about it, no one said anything to Lin Qingqing. Even Yang Mailian was defeated by her, but Zhang Hongping didn't say anything. Moreover, Lu Cheng was the deputy head of the regiment, so naturally, others didn't dare to ask.
Later, Qin Ming went to Lu's house for dinner, and Zhang Hongping also came to visit, so in the eyes of others, they reconciled.
At this time, someone saw four little kids walking side by side, holding lunch boxes together, and asked curiously: "Qin Ming, don't you go home to the cafeteria to get food after school?" Who would let the kids get food? What if they didn't get it? The person
asking the question was a military wife that Zhang Hongping knew.
Qin Ming said, "We are going to the cafeteria to eat."
The military wife was surprised: "Why are we going to the cafeteria to eat? I saw your grandmother at home this morning."
Qin Ming: "Because Lu Haici's mother works in the cafeteria, her mother's cooking is delicious. Auntie, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to eat." After saying that, he took his friends to jog. However, after running a few steps, they stopped and walked instead.
When they arrived at the cafeteria door, several children shouted again.
"Mom, I'm here." Lu Haici jumped up and down, the happiest.
"Auntie, I'm here too." Qin Ming followed closely, and his happiness was no less than Lu Haici. This kid is not afraid of strangers, and because they have known each other for a few meals, he is particularly friendly when he sees Lin Qingqing. It is estimated that this degree of intimacy has exceeded that of seeing his own mother.
"Hello, auntie." Ji Yang's personality is actually lively, but compared to Qin Ming, he is much more disciplined. Ji Yang's attitude towards Lin Qingqing is completely the attitude of seeing the parents of his friends, a little bit reserved.
The most polite one is Chen Zhou: "Hello, auntie." He saw Lin Qingqing for the first time, so he was a little at a loss. It was completely different from the time when he pushed Lu Haici down before. In other words, this is a little kid who is arrogant at home and timid outside.
Lin Qingqing didn't expect to have a new kid today, but she was naturally happy to see Lu Haici making more and more friends. "Hello, Lu Haici, Qin Ming, Ji Yang, line up. What's the name of this new friend?"
Chen Zhou said shyly, "My name is Chen Zhou." Is this Lu Haici's mother? So pretty and gentle. Lu Haici's mother is different from his own mother. Lu Haici's mother smiles like the sun, and she is white, prettier than all the mothers he has seen.
"Hello, little friend Chen Zhou, thank you for being friends with our Lu Haici. Today you will be at the end of the line and see how Lu Haici and his friends get their meals. Can you learn from them?" Lin Qingqing asked softly.
Chen Zhou: "Okay."
Lu Haici's meal today was still rice and seafood porridge, which was what was left over from the morning. Lin Qingqing couldn't have cooked porridge for just one meal in the morning. Lu Haici filled his small bowl with porridge, and Lin Qingqing filled a large bowl with vegetables for him. The vegetables were stir-fried Chinese cabbage with brined pork intestines. The brined vegetables were very delicious, especially after the brined juice was mixed into the cabbage, the cabbage became even more delicious. After
Lu Haici finished beating the dishes, he took them back to their original place to cook.
Then it was Qin Ming and Ji Yang's turn. Because there was a lot of rice and seafood porridge, Lin Qingqing filled a bowl for Qin Ming and Ji Yang respectively. Although rice is expensive, a small bowl of rice can make a lot of porridge, so a small bowl of porridge doesn't actually have much rice.
Finally, it was Chen Zhou's turn. He did the same as them. He got his meal and marked off a day's meal on the canteen ration book. Then the remaining dishes were put into a lunch box for him to take home.
While the little one was eating, Lin Qingqing also got her own meal and went to eat with Qi Shao and the others. Lin Qingqing also liked stir-fried cabbage with halved pork intestines. When
Lin Qingqing and the others finished their meal, it was almost twelve o'clock. The soldiers from the third company had not arrived yet, but another guest had arrived.
"Grandma..." Qin Ming sat facing the door, so he saw Zhang Hongping.
Zhang Hongping came to get the food and came to see her grandson. She saw her grandson and three friends eating with gusto, and was curious about what delicious food they were eating. When she walked in, she saw that it was stir-fried cabbage with pork intestines. The dish looked ordinary, but the color was very nice. Zhang Hongping, who had eaten two meals, did not think that the cabbage was not tasty, because she knew that her grandson was very picky.
"Take your time to eat, grandma will go get the food first, your grandpa will be home soon." She got the food and took it back to the family compound to eat, because there were too many people, so she didn't want to squeeze in here to eat. In addition to the food, there was also rice porridge, she saw it. She was a little surprised, she didn't expect that the third company's kitchen team also ate rice porridge.
"Hello, auntie." Lin Qingqing looked at Zhang Hongping at the window, saw her coming, and greeted her, "Here is half a lunch box of Qin Ming's food." She handed the lunch box over.
Zhang Hongping passed by yesterday and knew that this was what her grandson couldn't finish, so Lin Qingqing divided it up. She said, "Thank you for this, wife Lu Cheng. This child has caused you trouble these two days."
Lin Qingqing said, "How can that be? Qin Ming and Haici are good friends. In my eyes, he is just like my nephew. Besides, he is very well-behaved. I like him so much that I can't wait to see him. How can I think he is causing trouble?" This was the truth. Even if Qin Ming and Lu Haici had quarreled, it was normal for kids to quarrel. Even when she was a child, she had fought with her classmates. After the fight, it was over. They still played together afterwards. As long as adults don't get involved in the affairs of kids, they will forget about the fight.
Zhang Hongping didn't care whether Lin Qingqing was being polite or sincere. Anyway, she felt comfortable listening to these words. In fact, as long as it was a compliment to her grandson, even if the speaker was an enemy, she would treat the other person as kindly as a flower. Now, Zhang Hongping saw that Lin Qingqing no longer had the same opinion as before. "Lu Cheng's wife, how did you make this dish? Our Xiao Ming doesn't like to eat vegetables. Although meat tastes good, he can't live without vegetables. He had stomach problems before, and the doctor told him to eat more vegetables, but he just didn't like them. But after he came home yesterday, he said that the dishes you cooked were delicious. I saw that he ate cabbage with relish today."
Lin Qingqing didn't know what to say. She said, "I can't say for sure. Maybe the dishes I cook are more suitable for Qin Ming's taste. How about this, which dish is your interest? We can discuss it when we are free. The comrades from the third company will be here soon."
Zhang Hongping immediately said, "Yes, yes, yes, now is not the time. I will come to see you another day."
Lin Qingqing: "Of course, no problem."
Zhang Hongping saw that she was easy to talk to and was in a good mood. "Lu Cheng's wife, is this the only dish today? Our old man said that your cooking is delicious, so we will go to the canteen to get our dishes from now on."
Lin Qingqing: "... Today there is only one dish, because the meat and vegetables are cooked together, the amount of the dish is relatively large."
Zhang Hongping: "Okay, give me one too."
Lin Qingqing: "You already have half a portion in your lunch box, do you want another one?"
"Half a portion is not enough for me and my old man, I will go to the canteen to get another one later." Zhang Hongping said. She thought there would be two dishes, but she didn't know that there was only one, so she wanted to go to the canteen to get another dish.
Lin Qingqing: "Okay." She quickly got another portion for Zhang Hongping.
Zhang Hongping gave the money and went to the canteen again in a good mood.
Zhang Hongping had just walked out of the canteen door when she saw the comrades from the third company rushing in. To be honest, every time they ate in the canteen, these comrades were like going to the battlefield to fight. The company canteen was better, and everyone's food was basically enough, but the big canteen was different. If you go late, when you come across good food, it will be snatched up.
"Come on, come on, there is meat at noon." The soldier running in the front saw the food at the window and immediately shouted to the people behind him.
In an instant, the soldiers ran extremely fiercely. The window of the canteen was immediately squeezed. If the window was not separated, it is estimated that the comrades in the kitchen who were serving food would have no place to stand.
Someone got some food and took a sip first: "It tastes good. Squad Leader Qi told us this morning that it was cabbage and didn't say there was meat. He kept it a secret from us."
Qi Shao: "If I had told you in advance, you wouldn't have been surprised. We have meat dishes for two consecutive days. You should be satisfied."
"That's right. You can't stop eating just because you have something to eat." Lin Bao said at the next window.
Another soldier asked: "Squad Leader Qi, is there white rice porridge today? I saw the children of our Deputy Regimental Commander Lu drinking white rice porridge."
Qi Shao: "That's what Comrade Lin made for his own children. You don't have any share. What are you thinking? You still want to compete with the children. Do you have any shame?"
"Hahaha... As long as there is food, I don't have any shame."
"That's right, how much is shame worth?"
...
After lunch, Lu Cheng and Lu Haici waited for Lin Qingqing to go home together.
On the way home, Lu Haici suddenly remembered something: "Mom, what is 'begging for money'?"
Lin Qingqing raised her eyebrows. Why did Lu Haici ask this question for no reason? "Why would you ask about begging for money? Did anyone tell you about begging for money?" If a child could say this, then someone must have said it in front of him. Lin Qingqing was a little angry. Who would say such nonsense in front of a child?
Lu Cheng also looked at Lu Haici.
Lu Haici said, "We kids talked about it together. Yesterday we talked about what we wanted to do when we grow up..." Lu Haici told the story again, "I forgot to ask my mother yesterday."
So that's it. Lin breathed a sigh of relief, but said: "Hai Ci, everyone has different views on everything. Their parents have their views, and I have mine, so my views may not be right. But I want to tell you my views."
Lu Hai Ci: "What Mom said is definitely right."
Lin smiled and touched his ear: "I think it's right for your child's mother to be filial to his grandmother, but filial piety should be done within one's ability and also depends on the situation. For example, your mother raised you, do you have to support her in her old age and then be filial to her?"
Lu Hai Ci vowed: "Of course I will, I will support my mother in her old age."
"So, your kid's grandmother raised his mother, so his mother should be filial to her. Just like your grandmother, that is, my mother, my father, and my grandparents, they raised me, treated me well, and loved me very much, so I should be filial to them. But this filial piety depends on how much ability you have. If I have a dollar, I can take out fifty cents to be filial to them." She couldn't explain it in too much detail, and the kid didn't understand responsibilities and obligations, so the most direct way was to use money as an analogy, "but the premise is that this money is earned by myself. If it was your father who earned the money, I couldn't give it to your grandmother privately. I would have to ask your father's opinion."
"I have no problem." Lu Cheng said immediately, "You decide on our family's money."
Hearing this, Lin looked at him gently. However, when she met his eyes, she looked away awkwardly. Her heart beat a little faster because of Lu Cheng's words. She was not a fool. From the matter of blowing her hair that day to Lu Cheng's words now, as well as the little things they did together, they all revealed a problem that she had been ignoring or didn't want to pay attention to.
That is... Lu Cheng really regarded her as his wife. Or, as he said that night, he was attracted to her, so he wanted to be a revolutionary partner with her.
What about herself? What did she think? Divorce Lu Cheng if conditions allowed in the future? Wouldn't that mean wasting Lu Cheng's time for a few years in vain? But if she didn't get divorced, she wasn't the original owner, and she couldn't feel at ease being a real couple with Lu Cheng.
Besides, did she like him?
Maybe she had a good impression of him.
It came from the good impression of his looks, and then the recognition of his character. To be frank, who doesn't want a tall and handsome partner?
"Mom, I'll give you the money, and we will be filial to our grandparents and great-grandmother." Lu Haici actually liked his grandparents and great-grandmother very much. Because great-grandmother was very good to him.
Before Lin Qingqing and Lu Cheng got married, Lu Cheng brought Lu Haici to visit, so of course he had met Grandma Lin. With Grandma Lin's shrewdness, she certainly wouldn't treat Lu Haici badly. On the contrary, she was very kind to him. As a result, Lu Haici, who had never had any relatives from his mother's side, had a very good impression of Grandma Lin and the Lin family.
Lin Qingqing came back to her senses because of Lu Haici's words: "Okay, when mom gets her salary, let's go to the department store together to pick out gifts for your great-grandmother, great-grandfather, aunt, and grandparents, okay?"
"Okay." Lu Haici was happy when he thought of this, but then he frowned again, "But mom, I don't have any money." Hey... he also wanted to make money, and he didn't know where children could go to make money.
Lin Qingqing listened to his sighs and found it quite interesting. "I have money. I can tell them that although I bought the gifts, they were all selected by you. They will definitely be happy because you carefully selected the gifts for them."
Lu Haici's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really?"
Lin Qingqing: "Of course it's true."
"Why don't we go together then?" Lu Cheng took the opportunity to say. As a gay man, he is proactive at work, and is not the kind of person who would be reserved in life. "I haven't bought anything for my grandparents, parents-in-law, and I should also show my filial piety."
Lin Qingqing couldn't say no. "It would be great if you are free then, you can carry things for us."
Lu Haici echoed, "Carry things, carry things..."
Lu Cheng glanced at his son. "As a little man, you can't even carry things. What do you think I should say to you?"
Lu Haici was stunned, his eyes widened, as if he didn't believe his father would say such a thing.
"Don't worry about your dad." Lin Qingqing patted the little guy on the back, "You are already amazing. You can even wash the dishes by yourself. And when I first came, I was sick for half a month, but you took care of me. You made meals for me and served me vegetables. Have you forgotten?"
Lu Cheng felt that he had suffered a fatal blow. During that half month, his wife was sick and almost burned to death. It was her five-year-old son who took care of her, so... this bastard replaced his position in Lin Qingqing's heart? The more
Lu Cheng thought about it, the more possible it seemed. He even wondered, he had been back for several days, but she hadn't asked for a wedding night. Was she... still angry with him?
No, this matter had to be talked out.
