Lu Aicheng's son's nickname is Little Apple. When he heard this, he immediately cried out "Wow wow wow" and was very dissatisfied with his mother saying bad things about him.
Xu Niannian glanced at it:
"He's still young. He'll be free sooner or later. You can train him to eat on his own later."
"I don't dare. Every time I let him eat by himself, it's like a battle, and he gets it all over his body."
"I'll get you some bibs when you leave later. You can hang them around his neck while eating. It will be much cleaner."
"There is this thing? I haven't noticed it before. Sister-in-law, you are really amazing."
Lu Huaijin saw that his wife hadn't eaten much and was just accompanying his sister:
"Okay, eat quickly, my wife is not full yet."
Mr. and Mrs. Lu are popular and usually rather reserved. But this time when Xu Niannian came back and brought her three grandchildren with her, they suddenly became less reserved.
Especially Father Lu, who took advantage of this period of time when his research topics were relatively easy and changed his habit of reading in the morning.
I went out for a walk and bumped into an old acquaintance, who greeted me:
"Why are you out exercising today?"
"Hey, isn't this my daughter-in-law who got the provincial top score in the exam? She also brought triplets with her. I have to exercise my old body so that I can have the energy to take care of their children!"
"What, your daughter-in-law gave birth to triplets, no, and they are the provincial champions?"
The more academically oriented a family is, the more importance it places on learning. Old acquaintances immediately expressed their congratulations.
But the more I heard this, the more it sounded wrong:
"Yes, at that time, students from Tsinghua University tried to snatch her away to study there, but who can stop me, an old man like me, from teaching here?"
"The provincial champion is indeed a must-win."
"Come to think of it, my wife dropped out of school in her second year of high school. Otherwise, she would have definitely gotten the top score in the country."
The old acquaintance frowned:
"You have a point."
But I feel like he is showing off, which is not the case according to Old Lu's personality. Could it be that I am being mean and trying to take advantage of others?
He soon knew he didn't have it.
Because within a few days, the entire family compound knew that the Lu family's daughter-in-law had given birth to triplets and also got the provincial top score in the imperial examination. Tsinghua University and Capital University were vying for her. At the same time, while supporting her son, she also undertook a vegetable greenhouse project.
His daughter was admitted to Capital Normal University.
Until the next time we met, we all learned to answer quickly.
There are some smart people who know that the other person is showing off, and they directly poke at his heartache:
"Didn't you say that the tea your daughter-in-law brews is especially delicious?"
When Mr. Lu heard this, he thought, that was his precious thing, how could he let them drink it.
Anyone who mentioned this immediately turned around and left.
However, he couldn't find anyone to show off to, so he finally thought of an idea: invite the other person to his home to taste the tea and not take it away.
However, it is also okay to let the other person taste a few bites while satisfying your own desire to show off.
By the way, you can also let them see how cute their grandchildren are.
Some people actually go there just for a sip of tea.
Xu Niannian also heard about it from her mother-in-law, and she didn't know what expression to put on her face.
In her mind, Father Lu has always been a serious person, but she didn't expect that he would suddenly become so childish.
Since this matter has something to do with her, she can't just sit there and do nothing, so she starts making snacks to go with tea when she is at home.
She was willing to use all the ingredients, such as raisins, mung bean paste, and red bean paste, all of which were grown in the space and made into fluffy and soft soufflés.
I also made some mung bean cakes, golden crisps, and nougat.
These kids love to eat it too.
When Father Lu saw that everything was so well prepared, he invited several people at once:
"Look, I forgot to mention that my daughter-in-law cooks and makes delicious pastries."
He is praising his daughter-in-law again. These old men's ears are all callused, but the moment they see these pastries, they feel that he is right.
It was even more amazing after taking one bite. I don’t know how much I ate in the end. If I hadn’t wanted to save face, I would have wanted to pack some away.
When she got home, she was so angry that she arranged a lot of blind dates for her son.
Why does Old Lu have such smart and adorable grandchildren, but they don’t have any?
And they also want a daughter-in-law who is good at everything!
Everyone was thinking about the tea, and knowing that he was out of stock, they told him to ask his daughter-in-law if he could order it in advance.
Father Lu felt very sad when he saw so many people were eyeing his tea.
But I still asked my daughter-in-law:
"They all like the tea you make. Can you make more this year? I'll share it with them then?"
Thinking that they are free, they certainly can't drink for free:
"Don't worry, you won't suffer any loss. The old guys are not the kind of stingy people."
Their monthly allowance is not small, but in this day and age one cannot blatantly exchange money for other things.
Xu Niannian was calculating the time. It was already March 1978, and the market economy would emerge soon. These would be her future customers.
"Sure, I'll give it to Dad after I'm done. I'll trouble Dad to help me with it."
Father Lu suddenly lowered his voice:
"What's the matter, can you just get me two more bottles of medicinal wine?"
It was really because Lu's mother was very strict and didn't even allow him to drink medicinal wine.
"sure."
Father Lu nodded happily.
"But I have to give it to Mom first, so Dad doesn't have to drink it all at once."
Father Lu's face drooped again in an instant and he sighed. He still couldn't escape the clutches of his daughter-in-law.
After helping Xu Niannian to complete the enrollment procedures, the time for Lu Huaijin to return to the team was getting closer. These days, he helped Xu Niannian find someone to putty all the walls of the courtyard.
I bought some more furniture and put it in there. Xu Niannian also brought curtains and quilts. Looking at the house that was gradually taking shape, I felt a sense of satisfaction:
"Niannian, how about you and the child live with my parents first, and I'll take care of the safety issues here next time and hire someone else for the family, and then you can move in?"
"Can."
If it’s just the beginning of school, it will feel very busy and I won’t have enough energy to deal with it.
Noticed that there is a barrel in the yard specifically for soaking wine:
"this?"
"I happened to see it when I was shopping. I heard dad ask you to help him get some medicinal wine, so I bought it for you because I thought you might be able to use it."
Xu Niannian looked at the volume and found it much more convenient than filling small bottles one by one in the space:
"You're leaving soon, would you like to have a drink?"
Xu Niannian's eyes were so bright that it was impossible to say no.
Lu Huaijin's voice was a little hoarse. The two of them hadn't been alone together for a long time:
"Okay, I'll go buy two bottles of wine and some snacks."
"Um."
Lu Huaijin was very fast and soon came back with the food he bought from the state-owned restaurant.
Pour two glasses of wine and place them in front of each of them:
Xu Niannian picked up the cup and sighed:
"We haven't had a drink together alone in a long time."
"It's because you can't drink much."
Lu Huaijin's words ignited the little flame in Xu Niannian.
