Chapter 50 -50: Going to College

Watching the little guy act like a little adult, Lu Xiaoting found it somewhat amusing.

“Okay, okay, Uncle will listen.”

Xiao Yu frowned, his face serious. “Aunt said Xiao Yu has to watch Uncle and not let you sneak outside.”

Lu Xiaoting choked, didn’t expect his wife to know, and guiltily touched his nose.

“If Uncle doesn’t listen, Xiao Yu will have to tell Aunt.”

Seeing the little guy with a stern face, Lu Xiaoting had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Mrs. Lu, who had been covertly watching them, grinned. She thought the brat still needs Susu to discipline him. Old mom’s words didn’t work, so let’s have your wife handle you.

“Old Lu, why are you so happy?” Aunt Wang asked curiously.

“We just received our daughter’s college admission notice, so I’m about to make a call.”

“My goodness, your Lu Xiaomei got into college? Wow, how incredible is that?”

Aunt Wang clapped her thigh and shouted so loud nearly the entire Family Court could hear.

Father Lu had just mentioned that his daughter got into a college in the Provincial City and hurried off to make a phone call, leaving the residents of the Family Court buzzing with excitement.

“What? Your dad said your admission notice has arrived?”

Seeing her daughter nod, Mrs. Lu was both shocked and delighted, pinching her philtrum with one hand and waving excitedly with the other.

Lu Xiaomei couldn’t help but smile and shake her head, “Mom, what are you doing?”

“Mom’s just preventing an excitement-induced faint—taking early precautions.”

Mrs. Lu regained her composure and happily murmured to herself, “Truly, the ancestors have blessed us. The Lu family has produced two college students now—truly our ancestors are exhaling plumes of blue smoke.”

Susu, upon hearing the good news, immediately decided not to cook lunch that day. Everyone would go out to eat to simply celebrate Lu Xiaomei getting into college.

Even though it was just a junior college, during this era, the junior college degree was highly valuable, with the state providing employment after graduation.

In a way, it was like securing a guaranteed job ahead of time.

That afternoon,

Father Lu appeared in the flat with his arms full of large and small bags.

“Dad, why have you come?”

“Your Dad, why have you come?”

Mother and daughter realized quickly and rushed forward to help carry things.

Father Lu’s smiling cheeks hadn’t fallen since learning his daughter was admitted to college.

“I’m delighted. Couldn’t stay calm at home, so I took two days off from the factory.”

Mrs. Lu proudly shook her head, “Just look how impressive my daughter is, right?”

Father Lu nodded, “She is my daughter too.”

“Nonsense, my daughter came from my belly, mainly inheriting my intelligence.”

“That’s still thanks to her dad’s intelligence.”

…

Lu Xiaomei watched her parents bicker with an endlessly joyous smile.

Susu, upon returning, was immediately caught up in conversation by Xiaomei who had the image of their parents arguing in her mind, laughing so hard her stomach hurt.

At night, Father Lu stayed in the flat. Xiao Sun and a few other men slept in the eastern room. Fortunately, the kang was big enough that three men and a little boy weren’t crowded at all.

“Dad’s here?”

Susu nodded. Seeing her husband’s puzzled face, she belatedly remembered that her father-in-law had arrived and had gone straight to the new compound.

It seemed the old couple were too excited and apparently forgot to mention seeing their son.

Susu: “…”

“Dad’s probably too excited, that’s why he forgot to come here.”

Lu Xiaoting shrugged helplessly, “It’s okay.”

Susu blinked, observed carefully for a long while, and seeing that he genuinely wasn’t upset, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

…

“Why don’t we eat with our sons at the Provincial City as well, just as a celebration for Xiao Mei?” Mrs. Lu suggested, mainly because it was so busy at home that they couldn’t leave.

“Sure, you won’t be able to head back to the county soon, just celebrate here in the Provincial City.”

The old couple feared their daughter might be unhappy and turned to look at her simultaneously.

Lu Xiaomei was amused by her parents turning their heads at the same time, “I think this is fine, it won’t disrupt my sister-in-law’s business. Besides, my second brother is still injured, he can’t go anywhere.”

The family joyfully made their decision, and Father Lu called the eldest and third son to inform them.

Mrs. Lu and Lu Xiaomei took charge of washing vegetables and preparing the ingredients, while Susu was responsible for cooking.

The third son went directly to the Family Court to bring his second brother over.

The yard was bustling with activity.

“Auntie, if my family could have a college student, my husband and I would wake up laughing in our dreams,” Sister Huang said with envy.

Wang Hong dreamed aloud, “I’m just hoping my husband gets better soon, so that our kids can study. I’d scrimp and save for it. Who knows, maybe our family could also have a college student.”

Mrs. Lu’s face lit up happily at everyone’s talk, while Lu Xiaomei’s face turned so red with laughter it was almost unbearable.

“Grandma~”

Xiao Yu and Xiao Xue ran up one after another, followed by Brother Lu and his wife.

Mrs. Lu happily hugged her granddaughters and looked up to greet, “Elder Brother, have your wife sit down for a while.”

Brother Lu nodded, watching the three kids running around the yard.

Jiang Nan looked at her two wild daughters, feeling somewhat headache-ridden and worried her husband might get upset. She simply closed her eyes—out of sight, out of mind.

Yet, listening to everyone chatting and laughing, Jiang Nan felt irritable.

When did her Chongxi sister-in-law become so likeable?

“Sister-in-law, we’re here.”

At the sound, Susu saw the third son supporting his second brother, while Bai Xiao helped with the bicycle, darting out to take over the bicycle.

“Xiaoxiao, I’ll take it. The doorstep here is high; be careful not to get your clothes dirty.”

As she spoke, Susu carried the bicycle sideways into the yard.

With many people, they set up two tables; one for the Lu family, the other for the restaurant’s staff.

“Let’s not worry about those three. They drink theirs, we eat ours.”

Susu even bought about ten bottles of soda, and there, the three little ones hugged their sodas, sipping and smacking their lips with delight, a picture of enjoyment.

“Elder sister-in-law, Xiaoxiao, eat some more,” Susu called out to the two.

Watching her now capable sister-in-law, Jiang Nan felt a little uneasy in her heart.

The women and children had their fill, and turning around, they noticed the three men’s faces were flushed.

On such a joyous day, Mrs. Lu didn’t even bother checking on the three. As long as the younger son didn’t drink, it was fine.

Susu raised an eyebrow, leaning into her man’s ear and whispered softly, “Why? You craving booze too?”

She quickly changed the subject, “But…no chance! You can drink once you’re well.”

“I’m not interested in alcohol.”

Lu Xiaoting saw his little wife giving him a skeptical, teasing look and couldn’t help but laugh.

Raising an eyebrow, he said in a deep voice, “I only like my wife—”

Before he could finish, Susu twisted her hand on his waist, giving it a hard spin.

She glared at him, “Talking nonsense!”

Lu Xiaoting laughed out loud, “I mean, I only like the soup you make.”

Susu: “…”

Awkward, what a huge embarrassment!

Jiang Nan caught their antics and was baffled.

“Nannan, why don’t you eat some more?”

Brother Lu noticed his wife hadn’t eaten much.

Jiang Nan pushed her husband’s face aside, frowning, “How much did you just drink? Your breath smells like alcohol.”

“Ah, just happy, accidentally had a couple extra drinks.”
