Chapter 22 Housewarming Party (2)
Ma Lili saw Lu Jiaxin bringing out so much food, and was happy that she was being generous to her, but she still had to say: "Xinxin, the money that your third uncle gave you looks like a lot, but in fact it's money that you can't help but spend. You still have to spend it on weekdays." Save it."
Lu Jiaxin knew she had good intentions and said with a smile: "Fifth sister-in-law, I know. Of these things, I bought the red date cake, and the rest were brought over by my dad two days ago."
Lu Jiajie leaned over and asked, "Did you and your third uncle ask for it?"
“No, he bought it.”
Ma Lili took the opportunity to say, "Xinxin, my third uncle still loves you."
Lu Jiaxin smiled and nodded: "I used to be stupid. I always thought it was not easy for him to make money and never asked him. Now I understand, I don't want to be the cheap mother and daughter. If I don't have money or need anything in the future, I will find him. My dad is going."
Lu Jiajie laughed loudly: "Sister, this is how it should be."
At this moment, a loud voice came in from outside: "Lao Wu, I heard your laughter from so far away. Why are you so happy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jiaguang came in, followed by the hall's sister-in-law Wang Xiaojie and Lu An's brother and sister. The couple has a total of four children. The elder Luping was admitted to the Second Medical College in 49 cities last year. Although it's just a junior college, you can be assigned a job after graduation, so you don't have to worry about the future. I didn't come here today because I was nervous about studying.
Lu Jiajie said cheerfully: "Brother, Xinxin finally got the idea."
Lu Jiaguang agreed with this: "Xinxin, you are still young, and your third uncle has to support you to work."
Wang Xiaojie pulled Lu Jiaxin and said, "I should come over to see you when you come back, but I went to the main hospital last week to study and couldn't take leave."
Lu Jiaxin already knew this: "Sister-in-law, work is important. You can come over here anytime. Sister-in-law, you and brother sit down first, and I'll cut the watermelon."
Wang Xiaojie waved her hand and said: "It's not hot yet. It's not too late to eat later. Jiaxin, you should take good care of yourself if you are weak. Bring Zhenzhen Xiaofeng and the others into the house to rest."
The four brothers and sister-in-law felt sorry for her when they found out that she had suffered a serious loss of energy and blood after being injured. At the same time, he also felt that Lu Hongjun was cruel and asked his daughter to move out even though she was like this.
Lu Jiaxin is not someone who likes to do housework. When she saw that they wouldn't let her do anything, she told Zhenzhen and Qiangqiang stories. It didn’t tell about Grimm’s Fairy Tales, but about Journey to the West.
Of the four classics, Journey to the West is her favorite. She has read the book three times and watched the TV series several times. Of course, only the old version. This time she specifically chose the story of Sun Wukong fighting the Bone Demon three times.
Because it was told vividly and vividly, not only Zhenzhen and Lu Zhang liked it, but even Lu An, who had already read Journey to the West in high school, was fascinated by it.
Lu Jiajie was tired from working and went to the corridor to get some air. Unexpectedly, I stood there and listened to a few words, and I became fascinated.
After telling the story of three dozen white-bone demons, Lu Jiajie felt very regretful because he had not heard it earlier. He really wanted Lu Jiaxin to say one more thing, but unfortunately he couldn't do it in front of his children.
Lu Jiaxin had a purpose in telling this story: "Zhenzhen, what do you think after hearing this story?"
Lu Zhenzhen said without thinking: "Sister-in-law, that white-bone demon is so bad, he actually wants to eat Tang Monk's meat."
Thinking that she was still ten years old, Lu Jiaxin turned to look at Lu An: "What do you think?"
Lu An thought for a while and said: "Sister-in-law, Monk Tang has a bad temper and is not worthy of being Sun Wukong's master. If you ask me, it would be better for Sun Wukong to take Monk Sha and Zhu Bajie to learn the scriptures by themselves."
Lu Zhang and Qiang Qiang were still young, so Lu Jiaxin didn't ask for their opinions: "This story tells us that there are many bad people in this world who pretend to be good. You must be careful in the future and don't let these bad people get hurt." Lu Jiajie took Ding Jing into the role of the bad guy as a matter of course: "Xinxin, don't worry, that snake and scorpion mother and daughter will be punished for their evil deeds."
Lu Jiaxin couldn’t laugh or cry.
Ma Lili was washing vegetables in the yard. She smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I didn't expect Xinxin's story to be told so well. My little monkey was so fascinated by it that he stopped running around."
Five-year-old Lu Qiang is very energetic, which often makes her exhausted.
Wang Xiaojie was not surprised. She said: "Xinxin has loved reading since she was a child and has a wide range of knowledge. It's just that she used to be shy and was busy studying and had no time to tell them stories. It's different now. She has been setting up a stall outside for more than a month. Even if you become too talkative, you will slip away."
She was asked to say that Lu Jiaxin was a blessing in disguise this time. In the past, this child was just a paper tiger, always showing off her teeth and claws, but every time she came to the end, she suffered the loss. But it was different now. Not only had the ugly faces of Ding Jing and Zhao Siyi been revealed, but even the third uncle was under her control.
Ma Lili also thinks this change is good.
Lu Jiajie checked his watch and went back to the kitchen to work. He fell in love with Ma Lili at that time, and in order to win the beauty, he learned cooking from Mother Lu. He is quite talented in cooking. After half a year of learning, he is better than his master.
Also because of his good cooking skills, he cooks all the Lu family dinners and New Year's Eve dinners. Of course, it was only at Lu Jiaguang's house now. He had never cooked at Lu Hongjun's house since Ding Jing and his daughter came in.
At half past ten, Lu Hongjun came over, bringing a bottle of Maotai and two bottles of Gujing tribute wine, as well as a large piece of braised beef and a roast chicken.
When Lu Jiaxin saw it, he immediately brought a plate to put it on.
When cutting the braised beef, Lu Jiaxin smelled the aroma and couldn't help but pick up a piece and eat it: "Dad, this braised beef is really delicious. Where can I buy it?"
Lu Hongjun said with a smile: "Xu's braised beef shop. This braised beef is not available every day, it depends on luck. If you like it, I will buy it if they make it this time."
Lu Jiaxin knows that currently there are only farm cattle in the country, and there are no farmed beef cattle. Cattle are very important labor tools. Unless there is an accident or they die of old age, they will not be killed.
After Lu Hongjun sat down, he called Lu An and Lu Zhenzhen to come over and asked about their study status.
The smiles on the brother and sister's faces froze instantly. Lu Zhang, who always failed the exam, was so frightened that he sneaked to the kitchen to light the fire.
Lu Jiaxin didn't want to see several children crying at her housewarming party. She fished out the watermelon in the bucket and cut it: "Dad, this watermelon is very sweet. Can you try it?"
After saying that, she called Lu Qiang and Xiaofeng over. Seeing Lu An and Zhenzhen looking at them eagerly, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Come, let's eat together."
The brother and sister didn't dare to move. It wasn't until Lu Hongjun nodded that they picked up the watermelon and started chewing it.
After eating a piece of watermelon, Lu Hongjun told her about the English tutor: "The person I'm looking for is a sophomore foreign language student. His grandfather studied in Amiliga more than 30 years ago. This student grew up beside his grandfather. Speaks fluent English.”
Lu Jiaxin thought he was very fast: "When can I come to class?"
Lu Hongjun shook his head and said: "Something happened at the other party's family. It will probably take two weeks. I will inform you then."
"good."
