Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 124

    Lao Lu and his wife were confused for a long time, and finally accepted the fact that their daughter was remarried. When they woke up the next morning, Lao Lu was like a wandering ghost and called his former nemesis Lao Wang.

    When Lao Wang received his call, he didn’t lift his eyelids, and before Lao Lu spoke, he said, “Old Lu, why did you call me early in the morning?”

    “What kind of beautiful braids are your little granddaughters braiding? I tell you, granddaughters are so cute and heart-wrenching at the moment. Junjun, our army is determined to be a heroic female officer.”

    “Your little granddaughter can also be like my family’s army and become a spicy female soldier in the future, which is in line with the indomitable spirit of our elders…”

    Pharaoh is no longer interested in listening to Lao Lu talking on the phone, and he is not talking about his two sweet granddaughters. Pharaoh said that I already know how cute and sweet your granddaughter is. still sing…

    Humph, didn’t you enjoy the days of having a little granddaughter when you were my old king?

    The so-called “sweet granddaughter” is the same as the “sweet water can” on the shelf.

     Bear with him for a few more years.

    Old Lu sighed, he was still as dazed as a wandering ghost, and felt that it happened in a dream, Lao Lu said lightly: “Old Wang, I won’t talk to you today. You say granddaughter, I’ll tell you my daughter.”

    “Daughter? What? You Lao Lu also have a girl? Don’t you have four kids in your family?” Lao Wang secretly smiled and said that on purpose.

    There is such a “spicy” aunt who influences her. Sooner or later, the sweet bean paste sisters in his family will follow their “spicy aunt” and become two little spicy girls.

    “Pharaoh, are you suffering from Alzheimer’s, do you still remember my Xiaoming? Xiaoming who used to follow his grandma and grandfather…”

    Pharaoh rolled his eyes: “Isn’t that your grandson?”

    “Yeah! I have a grandson, you remember, why did you forget that I have a big girl?”

    “What’s wrong with your third child?” Lao Wang remembered that the third child of the old Lu family had already changed his career to become a policeman, and is now in Guangcheng.

    Old Lu said in a trance: “The third child of my family told me that she is pregnant, she is going to marry, and she will give birth to a younger brother and sister to Xiaoming.”

    “The new son-in-law she found for me is a cook and a veteran. The cooking is delicious, and there is a scar on his face…”

    “What? What did you say?” Lao Wang was completely confused by what Lu Zongyi said. What did Lao Lu say? He said his daughter was pregnant and was getting married?

    Who is pregnant? Who is getting married?

    “I said I was going to have a son-in-law.”

    Pharaoh: “…Am I dreaming? Or are you wrong, you said you have a grandson-in-law? Whose family do you have a baby kiss with?”

    “It’s my daughter, the third child, the third child of my family, she has been talking to me for several years behind my back.”

    Pharaoh: “…Crap, Lao Lu, is your daughter-in-law Jiang Ping with you? You’re delusional, are you talking nonsense?”

    The third eldest of the Lu family… How many years has Lu Xuan been talking to people about getting married?

    This is more incredible than the sun coming out in the west? !

    “Quick, quick, you have to go to the hospital for treatment!”

    Old Lu rolled his eyes: “You just need to treat your ears, my daughter is married, and I want a son-in-law, don’t you hear behind your ears?!”

    “Really?”

    “Really, it’s the person my daughter pursues.”

    “Really? This… this can be done too?”

    “Why can’t you do it? My cub taught his sister to talk to her husband…”

    Pharaoh on the other end of the phone: “…”

    “Seriously, I think Lao Lu, you really have to go to the hospital to check your brain. Why does what you say sound so strange?”

    “You are strange, your whole family is strange, hum, I have a son-in-law, maybe I have to hold another granddaughter, bye bye, old man, you bless me, next time I will Bring your granddaughter and granddaughter back to see you.”

    Pharaoh: “…the granddaughter in your dream, it’s inexplicable.”

    The two old men hung up the phone together. Although they often despised each other, they got together to chat on the phone every week.

    If I don’t call for a few days to contact the other party, my body seems to be covered with lice, and it itches everywhere.

     Jiang Ping and Lao Wang’s wife disliked them, saying that the two old men still had so much to talk about.

    “Old child, old child, it’s just the two of you. You speak just like the young grandson of the old Xu family. It’s like two elementary school students quarreling. People will laugh at you two when they hear it.”

    Lao Wang’s wife does not understand the “daily phone porridge” between Lao Wang and Lao Lu. The two always bicker on the phone, making other people’s forwarders laugh.

    “You and Jiang Ping are still on the phone every now and then, talking about who loves him, he loves her, she doesn’t love her, or the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreled, and they learned some strange words…”

    “I’m talking to Jiang Ping about TV series, do you understand TV series? It’s a new thing, they can receive Hong Kong and Taiwan in Guangcheng, there are several TV channels, everyone loves to hear us talk about the plot .”

     “Don’t say it, people dare to make this TV series, but dare to think about it, we ordinary people can’t imagine, how can there be such a strange plot…”

    “Weird?” Old Wang crossed his arms: “No matter how weird it is, how can an old Lu girl remarry?”

    “Old Lu will have a granddaughter again.”

    “What?” Lao Wang’s daughter-in-law was stunned, “Old Lu’s daughter is getting married? Where did he come from?”

    Pharaoh: “…Lu Xuan, you forgot, Xiao Ming’s mother.”

    “The family found another cook, a retired soldier, very heroic, and the man Lu Xuan actively pursued. Her brother Lu Yan gave emotional guidance to teach his sister how to talk to people .”

    Lao Wang’s wife: “…You are too good at editing, you can’t make up any TV series I’ve heard.”

    Lu Xuan is pregnant and married? Is her brother Lu Yan a relationship coach? …

    “Now you know how ignorant you are, the old Lu family is even weirder than the TV series!”

    “Aren’t you envious? Comrade Wang?”

    “Bah, who would envy you…” Old Wang stubbornly said, thinking that Old Wang would fight with Lao Lu all his life, he would move one chess higher in the first half of his life, and Lao Lu would win in the second half of his life.

    “Obviously, it was his Lao Lu who envy my Lao Wang before, but now it’s my turn to envy someone else’s Lao Lu. What kind of world is this?”

    The old king’s wife laughed at him: “You can wake up, now everyone is saying that the times have changed…”

    This man has an inexplicable desire to win and lose, and he has to compare everything with others.

    It’s not acceptable to lose.

    “No matter how the times change, it shouldn’t be my old king’s bad luck?”

    Pharaoh covered his face, very regretful: “This all starts with the marriage of the youngest son of the old Lu family, why do you think I was so mean in the first place, and went to Lao Lu I went to urge the marriage in front of me, but the old man Lu found such a good wife for his youngest son.”

     “She is beautiful, she is a college student, she can sing and dance, and now I hear that a factory will be opened to raise pearls…”

    Lao Wang is sour, and the sons before Lao Lu are not good at marriage, and their Lu Yan “married at an early age” successfully broke the curse of the Lu family’s late marriage, and married Such a good daughter-in-law.

    Pharaoh sighed, “We can’t compare this generation. In the future, when our grandsons get married, let our sons pay attention.”

    “What are you paying attention to? They are all half-footed in the coffin. Don’t torture your grandchildren here.”

    Unlike these old-fashioned old men, under the influence of Jiang Ping, the daughter-in-law of the old king has also begun to accept the new changes and new trends of the present era. Go dancing in the music cafe and drink coffee with Hato glasses.

    “Pharaoh, when are we going to look south?”

    Nowadays, many people are going south, and a lot of foreign capital has been introduced to the south. Factories are being opened everywhere, and people are being recruited everywhere. Now the train going south is full of people, and everyone wants to go to the south to see with their own eyes. See those new things.

    “A bunch of old bones, what are you tossing about?”

    Pharaoh doesn’t care about the trendy things in the south. He cares about telephones now, and their homes are going to install telephones!

    “I can call Lao Lu at home in the future.”

    “Be sure to surprise him next time!”

    Lu Xuan and Lu Qing got married, and they didn’t make a big deal. They just found a familiar person and set up three or four tables in Lu Qing’s tea restaurant, which was just the right place for him to sit. .

    The guests who came were from the Lu family, as well as Lu Xuan’s colleague at the police station and Lu Qing’s old colleague from the state-run hotel.

    After hearing that Lu Qing was going to marry Lu Xuan, these old colleagues from the state-owned hotel all showed confused and magical expressions: “…”

    It’s like eating an old melon, I obviously think I should be surprised, but I find that it’s been so long, and I’m not surprised.

    “You two are together!!”

    “When Xiao Ming brought Xiao Ming to our hotel, I was the one who hosted him.”

    “No, Xiao Ming’s “Dad” shouted loudly!”

    “Xiao Ming said that his father can’t find a match, I said Lu Qing, you can’t find a match, you two are really the emperor is not in a hurry for eunuchs, it will be good now, you are all together Together, what fate is this!”

    …

      .

    The waiters of the state-run hotel gathered together and whispered:

    “Let me say it, it is impossible for a man and a woman to be a simple friend.”

    “…But I don’t look like a man or a woman.”

    “In front of Officer Lu, our old Comrade Lu is more like a petite wife who goes to the hall and goes to the kitchen.”

    “What?

    …

    Not only people came from the state-run hotel, but also the police from Sanjie Lu’s side. Colleagues of Sanjie Lu, such as the young female police officer Xue Peiling and old Zhang Lao Xu, who were beside her, After learning that Lu Xuan was going to get married, it was like a meteor hit his head, making them angry, and they couldn’t tell whether it was reality or a dream.

    Officer Xiao Chen: “I didn’t expect…”

    Xue Peiling: “…Two dads?”

    Xue Peiling sighed and sighed: “At first, I thought I brought my brother Lu with a family, and called her Brother Lu, and she responded happily. Well, I thought we brought a brother Lu. Beautiful daughter-in-law.”

    Speaking, Xue Peiling used her chin to push Qin Rou’s body on the next table, and everyone followed her gaze to Qin Rou, a young, beautiful and charming woman.

    The first time Xue Peiling saw Lu Xuan, she thought that the senior who brought her was a tough guy. Xue Peiling was only left with envy.

    Brother Lu has a wife and children, such a beautiful big daughter-in-law, she is really an enviable public security cadre of my generation.

    In the end, “Brother Lu” said: This is my younger brother and sister.

    Wow, it turned out to be the uncle and younger siblings, they were almost misunderstood.

    “No, I’m her aunt.”

    Big aunt, auntie, auntie…What kind of auntie?

    The family that was so happy in front of her eyes turned into another strange relationship, which made people look a little awkward.

    All police officers here: “…”

     “Brother Lu” is too strange to get married.

    Perceiving the eyes of the group of people nearby, Lu Yan took his daughter-in-law’s shoulder and said seriously and seriously, “This is my daughter-in-law.”

    Qin Rou: “…”

    Xue Peiling: “…”

    Lao Zhang Lao Xu: “…”

    —This is the real husband of the beautiful daughter-in-law.

    Many of their colleagues have never seen Lu Xuan’s younger brother, so it’s good to see him.

    “In the future, your younger brother will also come to our police when he changes jobs.”

    “The police uniform is on, and the reporter will come to us to shoot a promotional video.”

    “My brother, the Navy, may not change his career.”

    …

    Lao Xu saw his brother and had to sigh: “If Lu Xuan was a man, it would be much easier to go out and work with those aunts and aunts.”

    “It’s like what they said over there – the sire killer.”

    Xue Peiling said: “It’s a good job now! The teachers like her.”

    Lu Xuan said solemnly, “What are you talking about secretly?”

    Xue Peiling: “…Tell me about the TV series I watched earlier.”

    “I also want to be a police officer like Sister Lu!”

    Lu Sanjie moved into the public security family room with her husband and children after getting married. The original house, Lu Yan and his wife, occasionally went to live there. They paid the rent. two days.

     “When you come to such a lively place in Guangcheng, you can’t go to jail every day at school.”

    “I’m so old, I’ll have to see more in the city.”

    “You just want to show off to Lao Wang, how can I still not know you?”

    …

    Old Lu and his wife came here and often went to their son-in-law to eat.

    “Our third child learned well from her brother, and finally found a husband who can cook well.”

    “Xiaozi, he can cook.”

    “Too spicy!”

    “Lu Xiao is so good at eating spicy food now that his father is afraid. He used chili sauce bibimbap in front of me last time.”

    “My son is incredible…”

    Jiang Ping said: “Which of your sons is not good? Young and old can give people emotional guidance…”

    “Cough cough cough.” Comrade Lu almost choked on the food in his mouth, “Don’t say such strange things while eating.”

    “Can you still not know about this kid Lu Yan? He is just like his father, with good luck in shit.”

    “Lu Yan is lucky, my mother recognizes it; you old comrade Lu, you are a little bit back.”

    “What did you say?”

    “Why did you marry me if you hadn’t turned your back?”

    “—It was because of marrying you that I spent all my good luck.”

    Jiang Ping snorted, “Can you stop saying such sour words.”

    “Everyone sings sweets on the street, how about I say good luck?” Comrade Lu Zongyi taught his wife: “You can’t keep up with the times.”

    Jiang Ping: “…”

    “Sweet honey, you smile sweetly…”

    Even the old Lu couple can sing sweetly, Qin Rou looked at the man standing beside her and suddenly thought, “Brother Lu, you still look more like your mother.”

    Lu Yan supported her idea: “My father is not serious.”

    “You didn’t go anywhere.”

    “Wait a moment to let my dad stop, don’t call his old friends, if I call a few more, my reputation as ‘Chief of Staff Lu’ will be known to everyone .”

    Qin Rou covered her mouth and snickered: “what’s the matter?”

     Chief of Staff Lu, a well-known emotional advisor.

    “Gu Cheng’s father called me several times, saying that I was not being kind, and that he had been the captain of Gu Cheng for several years, and he didn’t introduce a good person to his son…”

    “Now your brother Lu is about to be reduced to introducing people.”

    Qin Rou pushed his waist with her elbow: “Then can you introduce me?”

    “What to introduce? No introduction.” Brother Lu said that he had no hobbies to introduce objects to others.

    Comrade Gu, let’s continue playing as a bachelor.

    Not long after Lu Sanjie got married, the second and fourth brothers from the Lu family came to Guangcheng with their families. Get together and go to the photo studio to take pictures.

    The big family of the Lu family terrified the owner of the photo studio.

    The pregnant third sister Lu is already pregnant, Zhouzhou and Xiaojiaozi are each holding a sister.

    The proprietress of the photo studio was dizzy by the four brothers and sisters: “Didn’t brother go in with his sister just now? Why did he come out again?”

    “They are two pairs of brothers and sisters, ah no, they are two pairs of twin brothers and sisters, so they look exactly the same.”

    “What? Two sets of twins?”

    The proprietress couldn’t help but said to Lu Zongyi, “So lucky, so lucky, there are two sets of twins in the family. They all look exactly the same.”

    Lu Zongyi smiled like a chrysanthemum: “Isn’t it, I didn’t expect our family to have such good luck.”

    “Which family do the two brothers belong to? Which family does the younger sister belong to?”

    “It belongs to the same family.”

    “I’m sorry, I asked the wrong question. I want to ask which of your sons and daughters belong to these twin brothers?”

    Comrade Lu: “All of them belong to my youngest son. These four twin brothers and sisters are brothers and sisters, born to one mother.”

    “A mother?! Who is it!” The proprietress exclaimed.

    Several pairs of eyes looked at Qin Rou involuntarily.

    Qin Rou: “…”

    Because of this reason, it has become the focus of attention, it is really… Qin Rou coughed, remembering the havoc in the Heavenly Palace she had seen recently, so she shouted very boldly: “Children , come here!”

    Lu Yan: “…”

    Zhouzhou dumplings and bean paste: “…” It seems that if they run over, they will become monkeys.

    “Mom! My grandson is here!” Xia Mingxi gave extra face, responded very loudly, and ran to his little aunt.

    Lu Xuan: “…”

    Zhouzhou Dumplings: “??!!”

    The proprietress’s jaw was about to fall, she looked at Lao Lu in disbelief: “I gave birth to five, the big ones are so big?!!”

    Qin Rou: “??!!!”

    “No no no no, don’t misunderstand! This is my daughter’s son.” Comrade Lu pointed to Lu Xuan.

    The proprietress looked at Lu Xuan: “…”

     Her eyes widened as it landed on her stomach.

    Lu Xuan: “…”

    Lu Qing hugged his daughter-in-law’s shoulder, and the boss’s eyes were about to pop out.

    The big-eyed and small-eyed here, the cubs over there finally rushed to the mother’s side, Qin Rou looked at each and everyone in front of her, she really felt like she was in the Huaguo Mountain belt with a group of monkey children.

    The monkey children said: “Mom is the Monkey King?”

    “Dad is the Bull Demon King.”

    “Mom is Princess Iron Fan, I am Monkey King.”

    “Princess Iron Fan gave birth to a red child.”

    “Samadhi really burns you…”

    …

    “Alright, alright, kids, stop arguing, line up.”

    A large family huddled together and took a family photo.

    Count to nineteen.

    A few more photos were added to Qin Rou’s family photo album. This family photo was specially enlarged and placed in the most conspicuous position by Comrade Lu. Every time Comrade Lu saw this photo, They all laughed blindly.

    Comrade Lu and Jiang Ping sighed: “I didn’t expect our couple to survive countless times, and we can still pull out so many children.”

    Jiang Ping: “Can you change the words better?”

    “We all grew up with **** and piss, but didn’t we just pull it out.”

    “Now there are many descendants, even if I die, there is nothing to regret.”

    “Don’t say these words, I want to live longer and watch more episodes of TV series.”

    Lao Lu: “Can TV series be more important than me?”

    Jiang Ping: “Why do you want to compare with TV series?”

    Lu Zongyi: “…”

    “To live such a good life today is something I never imagined before.”

    In July 1980, the sister and brother Chen Juanjuan and Chen Jinghua were about to enter the examination room for the college entrance examination. Chen Jinghua was in a complicated mood.

    Four or five years ago, he thought that he would either join the army, or go to the countryside to be an educated youth, or go into a factory to be a worker, or teach elementary school in the village like his father…

    But now, he and his sister have signed up for the college entrance examination, and if they can get an admission letter, they can become college students!

    The siblings paid the registration fee, filled in their favorite schools, and walked into the examination room full of hope.

    In the days when the two of them took the exam, Qin Mian, the mother, was very excited. She called her sister Qin Rou several times, and Qin Rou comforted her on the phone: “Jinghua and Juanjuan’s Do you still have to worry about your grades?”

    “They’ll definitely get into college.”

    Qin Mian was full of worries: “I’m not afraid that their school will not be filled well. What if I make a mistake and fail to get into the school I want?”

    “I’ve never seen the admission letter.” As a mother, how can I not worry about my child, “I heard people say that the college entrance examination has been issued in recent years. A lot of weird stuff, and people pretending to replace college admissions letters.”

    “Juanjuan and Jinghua are going to go to university.”

    “I’m sure I can get into college!”

    Qin Rou was also infected with a kind of nervousness and anxiety by her sister. Whether it is for current or future students, the college entrance examination is a life-changing event.

    “If the four children in our family take the college entrance examination in the future, I will definitely be anxious and unable to sleep.” Qin Rou told Lu Yan about the child’s future college entrance examination.

    “You can’t sleep, Brother Lu is with you.”

    “What university do you think our son will go to? What will he do in the future?” Qin Rou is curious about what job her son will do in the future? Do you want to be a soldier like your father? Or go to be a drama actor, “If you really go to an art school.”

    It is not impossible to be an actor and star in the future.

    Lu Yan smiled and said, “Don’t dream.”

    There is no artistic soul in their old Lu family.

    “Art school, what art? Shall our sons sing?”

    “Actor, drama actor, maybe he can even act in movies.”

      , the sound is also good, but I don’t know what the voice will look like after the voice changer.

    “To play a monkey and make a havoc in the Heavenly Palace?”

    “Dumplings are making a havoc in the Heavenly Palace.”

    …

    As he talked, the topic began to become confused, thinking about the future is always very beautiful, Qin Rou nestled in the arms of her lover, and couldn’t help thinking: ” When the children start the college entrance examination, what will we be like?”

    “Old Comrade Lu, do you think you will become the old Principal Lu? Another arrogant student, said buddy, we can really hit it off, let’s do it. .”

    The principal of the military school is also an officer, and he has to be a major general. .

    When the role is replaced, the old principal will also encounter problem students.

    Lu Yan gave her a helpless look, “Really? I met a student who was full of arrogance? Maybe this student wants to marry the principal’s daughter…”

    Qin Rou hit his hand and asked him, “Did you also want to marry the principal’s daughter?”

    “The principal has no daughter.”

    Qin Rou: “You have a daughter, your old principal Lu has a daughter, and you have two daughters.”

    Lu Yan: “I’m not the principal.”

    “Who knows what will happen in the future, but let’s not talk about this, after all, we do have a daughter.”

    Qin Rou thinks it’s better not to talk about this issue, and don’t let this kind of strange flag stand up.

    Lu Yan: “…”

    “Our daughters are only three years old now, don’t think so much.” Who can say for the next ten or twenty years.

    The two children, Chen Juanjuan and Chen Jinghua, successfully completed the college entrance examination. After leaving the examination room, they waited for the admission letter. The two children’s mentality is much better than that of their mother Qin Mian, and they are not worried about themselves at all. ‘s results.

    Chen Juanjuan: “The big deal is another year.”

     

    Chen sisters and brothers feel that they are still young, even if they take the exam for a few more years, they will be fine, so their mentality is very good, and their family supports them to take the college entrance examination.

    Chen Jinghua: “I can do better next year!”

    Chen Jinghua feels that his performance is not very ideal. If he takes the exam next year, he will definitely play better than this year.

    As soon as Qin Mian heard this, he immediately had a heart attack, “I haven’t got the results yet, I just think about taking the college entrance examination next year, you children are really bad. Heart.”

    Chen Mian said: “The children and grandchildren will have their own children and grandchildren, and they will take the test for as many years as they want.”

    Qin Mian said, “I can’t pass the test and go home to sell sweet potatoes.”

    Chen Juanjuan smiled: “We don’t grow sweet potatoes either.”

    Chen Jinghua: “I’m hungry, have we eaten? If we can’t sell sweet potatoes, we can sell pearls raised by my mother and my aunt.”

    Although they don’t know if their mother and aunt can raise pearls, they don’t know how to sell them.

    “I told your grandfather and younger brother to stop painting, they all came in for dinner.”

    One month after the college entrance examination, Chen Juanjuan and Chen Jinghua received admission letters from the school one after another.

    Chen Juanjuan was admitted to Capital Normal University majoring in English. She was looking forward to being a teacher like her father, while Chen Jinghua was admitted to Capital University, majoring in history. They were both admitted to their favorite schools. specialized.

    Going to college soon!
