grandpa's secret(1/3)
How many people are there in the Lu family? Manman, who just returned to her parents' home, has no idea.
The Lu family’s daughter, who had been away from home for a long time, said that she had come back, and there was always a statement at home, which was a more grand ceremony. The low-key Lu family may not want to spread the word everywhere and bring danger to their daughter. It is OK not to tell outsiders, but for relatives and friends who have a deep friendship with the Lu family, the etiquette of this announcement is indispensable.
In order to welcome the Lu family daughter's return, the family banquet was already decided and it must be held. On the day when the appraisal results were all out, Commander Lu took his son to negotiate with the Wen family, Mr. Lu gathered some older generations in his small courtyard at his home to discuss the auspicious day of holding a family banquet.
The Chinese tradition, looking at auspicious days, is not feudal, but respect, which means that it attaches great importance to this matter.
On this auspicious day alone, a few old people discussed for three days.
In the hearts of the elderly, this daughter is so pitiful. She was implicated by her family since she was a child, and she was wandering away, and suffered too much. The older generation feels that she owe this daughter too much. Especially Mr. Lu, no matter what, she has to borrow this family banquet to explain to the returned Nannan.
Don’t talk about why the old man didn’t ask his granddaughter to show him the day he returned.
Look, Mr. Lu was secretly riding in the car and hiding in the streets and alleys, and no one told me.
It was because the old man had his own considerations when he didn't talk to his granddaughter face to face.
And Manman had long noticed these things.
The Lu family is not an ordinary family, this is what it means.
Most people recognize their daughters and find them. As long as they are biological and blood-related, they hold hands and tears, and hold them together.
The Lu family is not.
Commander Lu secretly asked her to ask questions, but later, he secretly asked her to have dinner at Lu's house through her husband.
Do you say Commander Lu just misses her and see her?
No, Commander Lu not only missed his daughter and wanted to see her, but also considered her as accustomed to her.
Considering her, she can't stand out as the name of Lu's daughter.
The Lu family’s daughter is not recognized casually, even if she is a biological child, she cannot recognize her casually.
It must go through three classes and six trials, and for the Lu family with a red heart, political assessment is even more indispensable.
If the daughter is wandering outside and becomes bad, will the Lu family hold a family dinner to welcome the child back? No, and it is absolutely - no!
Therefore, Manman's feelings for the Lu family were fluctuating in her repeated emotions.
Because she knew that the Lu family treated her well was not because of her, but more importantly, her brother and her brother. Jun Ye is recognized as the best among the Lu family in this generation. Lu Huan is the future star, and no one dares to underestimate it.
Jun Ye valued her, and Lu Huan respected her, which made the other Lu family members dare not underestimate her.
The three brothers and sisters walked back to the Lu family. Lu Huan and her were walking behind. Jun Ye listened to the phone while walking, talking to Lu Hedong.
"Uncle."
"Mr. Lu, I wanted to tell you something when I met in the hospital last time, but neither you nor Ziye were free. Later I thought, it would be better to wait until Nannan was together."
Last time, Lu Hedong came to the hospital to meet them. Without saying a word, Mr. Yao was called into the operating room by an expert to make a decision. The conversation was interrupted. Lu Hedong originally told them two things, but only said one thing, so he learned about the situation of the gallery being burned so that he could report to the old man. The second thing was the family dinner. He had just raised his head and couldn't discuss it carefully.
The burning of Manman's gallery did make people inside the Lu family angry.
It was obvious that the other party was provoking and deliberately making things difficult for him.
But the other party may not have thought that the Lu family’s recognition of their daughter was not the way they recognized. They were not like ordinary people, they recognized them as soon as they said they could, and they made public them all the time that day. In short, the other party’s purpose of making jokes was not actually achieved.
"There are quite a lot of things happening recently. She is only the first day she returns to her parents' home. My dad can't even talk to her." Jun Ye said.
Commander Lu was busy, and his daughter's gallery was burned, making him even busier. During these days, he was on business every day and could not go back to his home. The only thing he felt relieved was that his daughter had called his wife "Mom" that day.
"I'm just back today." Lu Hedong sighed.
From the time the gallery was burned to today, it has been four or five days.
Manman called Juma and Ge Ju, but Manman is now a married man and cannot live home. In addition, there are many twists and turns in the past few days. From the gallery to Du Yu's surgery to early summer, they are still in the hospital for pregnancy. The gallery is undergoing the aftermath, and Manman is diagnosed with pregnancy.
"Well, Nannan has something to do with her children, and grandpa has heard from Secretary Liu. So, the old man asked me to bring something here first."
Manman followed Lu Huan and walked into the house, and saw Lu Hedong. It was the first time he met this uncle and was very unfamiliar.
In contrast, Lu Hedong was very close to her when he saw her. Manman was his niece, who could not kiss her anymore. Moreover, the Lu family only had Manman one daughter. Lu Hedong only had this niece, so how could he not kiss her?
"Oh, sister-in-law, this child's eyebrows and eyes look like you, his nose looks like his elder brother, and his lips look like Lu Jun." Lu Hedong smiled and looked at Manman up and down, and said to his two nephews and Mrs. Lu.
Lu Huan was unhappy when he heard this and raised his handsome eyebrows: "Where is me?"
"You, your face looks more like your sister." How could Lu Hedong pull down this little nephew who was favored by his family?
Lu Huan, who was half a child, was happy. La Manman sat down and said, "My uncle is different from others. My brother, and Ziye, all treat him as his brother."
"Manman, I know you just came back and were not familiar with your family, but Huan'er was right. I am different from other people in the family. You don't have to say anything according to etiquette." Lu Hedong said while kindly putting a cup of hot cocoa that you had personally cooked in front of her. "This is what your aunt brought back when she was traveling abroad. She said she had to bring it to you first. It seems that there is something to do with pregnant women. But it shouldn't matter. Try it."
Such intimacy is really a bit flattering and uncomfortable.
He held the cup of hot cocoa with both hands, took a sip under Lu Hedong's smiling and meaningful gaze, and said, "Thank you uncle and aunt."
Seeing that she drank hot cocoa, Lu Hedong smiled very satisfied, and began to sit down and drink tea, and waved his hand: "Thank you, no need to be polite. If you like to drink, I will bring you next time. Maybe let Lu Jun or Huan'er take you to my house. Your aunt is bored alone, knowing that you are pregnant, and she wants to see you even more. Your cousin, who is my son, studied in New York, USA, has already asked your future cousin to buy milk powder and children's clothes abroad first, pack all the air express delivery, and on the way."
Manman was shocked when she heard this: She was only less than two months pregnant, so she was too busy buying milk powder and children's clothes.
Lu Hedong, who seemed to see her idea, waved his hand: "It doesn't matter if you buy it first. How many years does the shelf life of the milk powder have? If you buy it, there must be some, and you have to think so."
The Lu family is determined to get it, and there is no reason why they can't get it.
Ye Jun, so is this uncle Lu Hedong.
Manman sipped hot cocoa with a little hot mouth, while listening to Lu Hedong discussing the family dinner with his brother.
"Nannan is here, just listen to it, just mention any opinions. By the way, Ayan is in the military school. After you listen, call Ayan to discuss with him. Ayan had met him once last time, and someone mentioned this matter a little." Lu Hedong was not like Jun Ye and Commander Lu, who was meticulous and wise in his words when doing things, and he would not offend anyone, so he was the most reliable leader around Mr. Lu to do such things.
"Uncle." Lu Huan drank the flower tea made by his mother. Since she was talking about the family dinner where his sister was the protagonist, she interrupted countless times in the middle, "Why don't you talk about the day you have booked? My sister didn't make any clothes."
"Hey--You kid are talking about serious business. When you grow up, you know that women need to make clothes and order shoes." Lu Hedong slapped his thigh and praised his nephew.
Listening to the chattering of them, although Manman was next to him, he couldn't even speak a word.
It was clearly about her.
After finally finding her quiet, Lu Hedong hurriedly said, "Nannan, if you have any questions, please tell me, don't just talk."
"Uncle, you are an elder, it's up to your elders to decide." Manman said.
This is what should be like. The younger generation cannot make a decision, and it is not suitable to make a decision.
Lu Hedong looked at An An An, smiled slightly, glanced at Jun Ye who was silent, and stopped talking.
After drinking a pot of tea, Lu Hedong was about to rush back to work in the afternoon and get up.
Before leaving, he handed something to Jun Ye and squeezed his eyes mysteriously: "Your grandpa told me to go to the family dinner that day and put it on for Nannan."
Jun Ye just carefully moved the wooden box away, and glanced into the gap with sharp eyes. A strange and deep thought flashed through his pupils and took it back.
Being disturbed by Lu Hedong halfway, Jun Ye gave an excuse and said to Manman: "The family banquet has been done in the past few days. If you live here, mom will help you and your husband. I will tell him about your husband."
After saying that, he immediately gave his brother a wink.
Lu Huan received the order, snatched her home key, and hurried to her house alone to carry her luggage.
Manman actually thinks that it is not appropriate to live here, and there is another main reason.
You said that the Lu family has all the rooms full. She and her husband come over and get stuffed wherever they go.
"If your husband comes back, you two will live in the opposite room. However, when you are alone, it is impossible for you to live in the opposite room alone. You can live in my room, Huan'er's room is a bunk bed, and I will move to Huan'er's room to live." Jun Ye had been confident and planned one by one, and then said to Mrs. Lu, "Mom, take her to clean up first in the afternoon, and I'll go back to the unit."
"What should I do with your stuff?" Mrs. Lu asked after him.
"I put all the important things in my computer and official bag. I can take them away if I carry them. I can just collect two clothes and throw them away for me. She can just turn them around and move them whenever I want to. It doesn't matter."
That is his own sister. If she grew up at home since childhood, she would definitely go through his room all day like her younger brother. What's the point?
Jun Ye didn't think so at all.
Manman only felt embarrassed: Don’t just think about being a sister, you have to think about the difference between men and women.
Mrs. Lu wanted to scratch her head: Jun Ye treats her sister as her younger brother, and you can't blame Jun Ye. There is no sister in the Lu family who asks Jun Ye to learn first.
"Nannan, come." Now that happens, Mrs. Lu can only take her daughter to see the room first.
If the daughter doesn't like it, she is willing to give up her and her husband's room. At most, the couple will move to the opposite house first. Anyway, Manman cannot live alone in the big house, for fear of being unsafe.
"Mom, I'd better go home and live." Manman said after Mrs. Lu.
"No, your brother said it, it's not possible for the sake of your own and your child." After hearing what his eldest son said, Mrs. Lu immediately changed her mind.
Crescent eyes blinked slightly in confusion.
In front, Mrs. Lu turned her eldest son's room away.
When I went in, I saw that it was a room with a small layout. There was only a single bed, a simple desk, a wardrobe, and a high bookshelves standing in the corner of the wall, filled with books.
What the Lu family lacks the most is books.
This is in line with Manman's wishes.
Manman likes books. Unfortunately, the Wen family doesn’t have the money to buy so many books. She has to go to the library to borrow books or rent books in a small shop outside.
Later, she married her current husband Comrade Jiang Yan. Young Master Jiang is a bookworm like her. Two bookworms gather together and go out together. In addition to buying department stores and shopping, they are indispensable for bookstores.
However, after all, my husband is a man of iron blood. His major is different, and his interest in reading is naturally different from her. For example, my husband likes to read weapons and military affairs. She likes to read literature, calligraphy copying, painter's paintings, prose, or find some recipes.
As a result, every time I visit a bookstore, this matter becomes fun.
