The men and women in the living room were chatting about their common topics, and the women were not idle either. They were all inviting Lu Jingchuan and Gong Linglong to visit their homes.
Although it was the first time that Gong Linglong met the elders, she behaved very generously and appropriately, was outgoing and proactive. Under the guidance of her mother-in-law, she quickly broke into the core group of the elders and chatted with them happily.
Even Li Wanqiu admired her social skills. She admitted that she was inferior to Gong Linglong in social language, eloquence and creating a good atmosphere, and she still had a lot to learn from her.
Around half past eight, the Han and Zhou families got up and prepared to go back. Old Master Zhou made arrangements as soon as he got up: "Jingchuan, you and Linglong will come to Grandpa's house for dinner tomorrow night. Grandpa has to go to a meeting during the day, and he only has time to talk to you at home in the evening."
"Okay, we'll come over in the evening." Lu Jingchuan responded.
Old Master Han followed suit and invited, "Jingchuan, Linglong, we've arranged to meet you at our house on Sunday. You should come early too. Don't bring anything, just come."
"Also, Nanzheng, Lanqin, you two should come over too. Since Jingyang and Xiaoyun have a crush on each other, let's take advantage of the day after tomorrow when the fourth brother is home to finalize the matter. Don't bring up any unnecessary things. We don't care about those empty formalities in our family. Just come and have a drink with us and chat."
Lu Nanzheng responded: "Okay, we'll come and bother you on Sunday."
Gong Chengjun and the others also got up. Gong Wantang also decided to move to the Han family for a few days. He said to his daughter, "Linglong, I will stay at the Han family with your uncle for the next few days. I will ask Jingchuan to bring my luggage over later."
"Okay, we'll stay with grandpa and grandma for a while and come back later." Gong Linglong responded.
Gong Chengjun patted her head lovingly, smiling warmly, "Linglong, we're going out to do something tomorrow morning. Come pick us up after breakfast."
"good."
They had discussed it last night and planned to go to the Gong family's ancestral tomb tomorrow morning to pay homage to grandma and other ancestors.
Everyone saw them off to the door, and after the guests had left, the Lu family returned to the living room.
Gong Linglong was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, while the other members of the Lu family were discussing the engagement of Lu Jingyang and Jiang Yun. Zhou Lanqin treated her two sons equally, and the youngest son's marriage was also based on the standards of the eldest son and his wife.
The same goes for the two elders of the Lu family. When the eldest grandson Lu Jingyao and the second grandson Lu Jingchuan got married, they both had the same expression. The same is true for Lu Jingyang's engagement and marriage this time.
Lu Nanzheng had already prepared the betrothal money for his son's marriage, and had also discussed other betrothal gifts with Zhou Lanqin.
Seeing that her parents-in-law were divorced and they discussed the matter of their two sons and got along very harmoniously, Gong Linglong really admired her mother-in-law's tolerance and magnanimity.
When couples divorce, only a few maintain dignity and respect for their common children. Most end up leaving a mess behind, and a very small number even become enemies.
In my previous life, I have seen many cases where couples fought over children and property after divorce, and even attacked each other and went to court. It is really rare to see a divorced couple getting along like the in-laws do.
After discussing this important matter, everyone went home with the gifts prepared by Gong Linglong. Before Lu Nanzheng left, Mrs. Lu also gave him a bowl of braised pork and egg rolls.
"Dad, is your place far away? Do you want us to give you a ride?" Gong Linglong and the others were waiting for him outside before leaving.
Lu Nanzheng came over on his bicycle with a smile on his face: "Linglong, I don't live far away, it only takes about ten minutes to ride a bicycle. No need to send me home, you guys can go back quickly."
Lu Jingchuan stood by the car door and suddenly asked, "Can Lu Qiuhe and the other three be saved?"
Speaking of his three daughters, Lu Nanzheng's smile faded. "Qiuhe has an extreme personality. She's been deeply influenced by the Ruan family and doesn't listen to anyone anymore. Let her follow her own path from now on."
"Qiuju and Qiutong are better. Qiuju wants to join the military art troupe. I don't plan to make any special arrangements for her. When the recruitment notice for art soldiers comes out next year, she can apply according to the process. The rest of her assignment will be determined by the military."
"Qiutong's academic performance is better than her two older sisters. After she graduates from junior high school next year, I will transfer her to a high school boarding school so she can spend less time with the Ruan family. She also has a better personality and is smarter than her two older sisters, so she should still be able to be saved."
Lu Nanzheng is usually very busy with work and also has to spend time educating his three children. He has to spend time and energy on both work and family. He is actually very hard-working and exhausted, but this is the result of his own mistakes. No matter how tired or hard it is, he has to bear it himself.
The two elders of the Lu family were standing nearby. Old Master Lu's face darkened when he thought of Lu Qiuhe, and his voice was deep: "That bastard is hopeless. She's bad at everything, but she's a master at lying and playing tricks. She only knows how to use those little tricks that are not worthy of public display. She still thinks she's smart, but she's hopelessly stupid."
"Her grandmother taught her well." Old Madam Lu said with a dark face.
What she actually wanted to say was "Like mother, like daughter". The Ruan family had a bad family tradition, and their children and grandchildren were taught to have bad thoughts. Ruan Yumian herself was also a person full of small thoughts. Under the guidance of her and Ruan's mother, Lu Qiuhe and the others also became equally petty.
Seeing that his father had made arrangements, Lu Jingchuan stopped talking and said to his grandfather, "Grandpa, take care of yourself. There's no need to get angry and sick because of them. People who don't understand are not worth wasting your energy on. You don't have to worry about us. Jingyang and I are married now, and we will have the next generation soon. We can shoulder the responsibilities ourselves and help you and our parents share the burden. You can rest assured to leave the honor and future of the Lu family to us."
The grandchildren of the Lu family have been subjected to corporal punishment since childhood. In fact, all the children who grew up in this circle have experienced corporal punishment, and very few of them have gone astray. It’s just that their individual abilities vary. After all, this is related to everyone’s brain and IQ.
Mr. Lu is very satisfied with his grandchildren and has high hopes for them. Lu Jingchuan is the grandson he is very optimistic about, just like he was optimistic about his second son back then.
He knew his grandson still had a long way to go in the future, so he didn't say much about his work. He only reminded him, "Jingchuan, Grandpa is in good health. I know what's going on. Don't worry. I will live well and strive to see five generations living under one roof."
"You're going to be a father soon. Linglong is pregnant with triplets. This is a great blessing for the Lu family, but it's also a big risk for her. You must take good care of her. Her health is the most important factor during the birth. Make sure to make all the arrangements in advance. Contact us anytime if you need anything."
"Also, my career prospects are important, and my own safety is important too. Now that I have a wife and children, I need to think more about them."
Lu Jingchuan listened carefully, "Grandpa, I remember it."
"Alright, Linglong has been busy all day, you take her back to rest. Your father will take care of Lu Qiuhe and the others' affairs. If they are ignorant and bring shame to the Lu family in the future, grandpa doesn't mind losing a few granddaughters."
Mr. Lu said this specifically for Lu Nanzheng to hear.
