"I can't contact him now. Anyway, I won't take care of it. If he wants to take care of it, I'll wait until I can contact him and then come back to take care of it." Lu Qingyan didn't want to interfere in Gu Mingze's affairs.
But this matter concerning Gu Minghe's gambling and his own money, he had to take care of it even if he didn't want to.
After all, no one’s money comes from the wind, so why should they just give it away for nothing?
"Okay, you decide for yourself." Seeing that her daughter had made up her mind, Mother Lu stopped interfering and turned around to yell at the old man to clean up the house quickly so that the two children could go in and rest.
Look, I have been busy with the two children these past few days, and I will have to do it again tomorrow. Let's take this opportunity to let them have a good rest and don't let them get sick.
So, Lu Qingyan went into the house and cleaned up with her parents. They cleaned the house, lit the kang, and asked the two children to go to bed quickly.
Only then did they clean up the house inside and out.
"I'm going to your cousin's house to borrow some grain and oil. Tomorrow my mother and I will go to the commune to buy some and return them to them." Father Lu cleaned up the house, changed his clothes, cleaned himself up, and turned to go out.
"Mom, we're back now anyway, why don't we stay home for a while before leaving? This way, we don't know when we'll be back." Lu Qingyan waited for her father to leave before sitting next to her mother and saying
"But the vegetables we just planted at home, if we stay in our hometown for a long time, won't the vegetables in the yard die?" Mother Lu was very tempted by her daughter's suggestion, but when she thought of the vegetables she had just planted in her yard, she immediately gave up the idea of staying.
"It's okay. Didn't I say hello to Sister Li? She can help take care of it for us." Lu Qingyan specifically said hello to Sister Li at that time, thinking that if they couldn't go back in a short time, she could help take care of the vegetables in the yard.
Now that my parents have finally come back, it wouldn’t hurt to stay a few more days.
"Then why don't we stay there for a few more days? But there's nothing at home, even the bedding is so damp." After hearing what her daughter said, Lu's mother was completely moved, but then she thought about how the house was basically emptied.
If they live at home for a while, they will have to buy new ones, and then they can't take them with them when they leave. Wouldn't she be heartbroken?
"It's okay. It's not too cold today. Let's heat the kang a little more at night to dry the bedding. We can take it out to dry in the sun during the day. We can just stay here for a few days." Lu Qingyan didn't have any big requirements for food and accommodation now.
I also thought that I couldn't stay at home for many days, and if I couldn't take so many things back home, it would be a waste.
Then the family can make do with it, and as for food, they can just buy as much as they eat.
"Okay, then we'll just make do with it. We can light the kang frequently at night. As long as the kang is warm, it won't be too cold." Mother Lu thought her daughter's words were right, so she nodded and said she would stay in her hometown for a while before leaving.
Coincidentally, after the two of them finished talking, Father Lu came back carrying a cloth bag in one hand and an earthen basket in the other.
"Why did you bring back so many things? You didn't tell Haiming. Just take less. We can go to the commune to buy them tomorrow." Seeing the old man coming back with so many things, Lu's mother stood up and asked.
"I did, but Haiming's wife packed so much food for us, and even said it wasn't enough, so we went to his house to get more." Father Lu was helpless about bringing so many things back, but they were all his relatives, and they gave them to him, so it would be a bit embarrassing if he didn't take them.
I was thinking of going to the commune tomorrow to buy something for them, as an exchange of my own vegetables and food.
"Then keep it. Let's go to the commune tomorrow to buy some food and send it to them, so that they don't have to eat other people's food for free." After saying this, Mother Lu took the food from the old man, took it to the kitchen and started cooking.
They hadn't eaten properly on the train these few days, and now they had been going through a lot of trouble after coming back, so they were already starving.
I'd better cook quickly, have a good sleep after dinner, and take my time. There's still a lot to do tomorrow.
"Dad, you and mom have to walk to the commune tomorrow, right? It's the autumn harvest time now, and I don't think we can borrow a bullock cart. Why don't you and mom stay at home, and I'll bring the things back when I come back tomorrow." Lu Qingyan looked at her father, whose face was full of fatigue, and said distressedly.
"It's okay. Take a good night's sleep and you'll be fine tomorrow morning." Father Lu looked at the pain in his daughter's eyes and said nonchalantly, "Besides, you have to take the child to the Majia Brigade tomorrow. It's not convenient to go back and forth. Let me and your mother go, and we can go shopping in the commune."
"Okay, then you and my mother should be careful. It's very chaotic now. Come back quickly after shopping." Hearing this, Lu Qingyan gave a few worried instructions.
"Your mother and I are so old, what don't we know? You don't have to worry about us. You should take care of the children and have a good rest. We still have to work tomorrow." After saying this, Father Lu sighed and said, "How come your parents-in-law are gone just like that? Your mother and I are about the same age as them. We can't say for sure when..."
"Dad, how can you say that? Stop it, I don't want to hear it." Lu Qingyan waited for her father to finish speaking before interrupting him, saying unhappily.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, can't I just stop talking?" When Father Lu saw his daughter was angry, he quickly put on a smile.
"I just told my mother that we finally came back, so we should stay at home for a while before leaving. However, after we return to Kyoto, I will take you and my mother to the hospital for a check-up." Lu Qingyan originally planned to take her parents to the hospital for a check-up after arriving in Kyoto.
But she forgot about it because of the busy work. Now seeing her parents-in-law passed away suddenly, she felt that she should hurry up and get her parents medical treatment.
Just in case, just in case any disease is really diagnosed, it is better to seek treatment as soon as possible.
Section 137
"Your mother and I are in good health. There's no need to waste money on our medical checkups." Father Lu was very reluctant about his daughter taking them to the hospital for a checkup.
He was afraid that if the diagnosis revealed any disease, he would not be able to accept it.
"We are just going to get checked out, just like you thought. If we find any disease, we can get treatment as soon as possible. But if you don't get checked out, we won't know if there are any major or minor problems with your body."
When Lu Qingyan saw her father's resistance, she knew what he was thinking, so she quickly persuaded him: "Dad, even if you don't want to check, you have to think about my mother. My mother always has leg pain. We have to go to the hospital for a check-up and get some medicine, don't you think?"
"Okay, let's go get checked when we get back to Kyoto." Although Father Lu was very reluctant to go to the hospital, he nodded and agreed to go for the sake of his wife's health.
"Then let's make a deal. When I return to Kyoto, I will take you and my mother there."
"Where are you going? What are you two talking about there?"
