After hearing this, Lu Xingping shut up.
He pursed his lips, scratched his head and said, "That's right. My sister-in-law gets along with my eldest brother every day, and she cares about him so much. But I get confused when I care about him."
Lu Xingan on the side glanced at him faintly.
"You are stupid and you blame others."
Lu Xingping touched his nose guiltily. He just felt wronged by himself, so he no longer had the same experience as Lu Xingan.
Lu Youchuan looked at his two sons with completely different personalities in front of him with a smile on his face.
The son, who is twelve or thirteen years old, has already formed his character.
One is thoughtful and intelligent, the other is simple and clever, with great kung fu.
Both of them have their own merits, and if they are guided well, they will become great talents in the future.
Being able to cultivate such outstanding students is inseparable from Yun Cuihe's education and Lu Xinghe's guidance.
The eldest brother is like his father. From the age of nine, he has fulfilled his father's responsibilities for thirteen years and supported the family.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel deeply guilty towards Lu Xinghe.
"Xingping Xing'an, you have grown up too. You must still listen to your elder brother in the future, and you must share his worries when you grow up."
The two brothers nodded.
"We got it, Dad."
Because they didn't get along with Lu Youchuan for long, and they didn't grow up with him like Lu Xinghe did, the brothers and their biological father in front of them were more than polite but not close.
But Lu Youchuan is not in a hurry. After all, they are biological father and son. As time goes by, they can always work out some feelings.
"Lao San, what are your plans for the future?" Lu Tiesheng looked at him and asked.
Lu Youchuan thought for a while.
"I have put down the path of scientific examination for too long, and it is too difficult to pick it up." He looked at Lu Tiesheng, "I learned some medical skills at Xingyue Medical Center some time ago, and I want to go there to help after the new year."
Lu Tiesheng nodded.
"That's fine."
Wang Xuelan, on the other hand, frowned and said, "Can your body handle this?"
Lu Youchuan hurriedly replied, "Mom, don't worry, I have strictly followed Doctor Zhang and Yueyue's treatment these days, and my health is no longer serious."
In fact, it's not that it's not serious, it just looks like ordinary people on the surface.
In the past ten years or so, my body was severely overdrawn, and the damage was already irreversible.
As Lu Youchuan's wife, Yun Cuihe, who ate and lived with him every day, was naturally aware of his condition, and couldn't help but hold Lu Youchuan's hand tightly.
Lu Youchuan glanced in her direction, indicating to her that it was okay.
"Now that you have decided, go if you want to. Don't tire yourself." Wang Xuelan instructed.
Lu Youchuan nodded hurriedly.
"I know, mother."
…
When Lu Xinghe returned to the courtyard, Chu Yue was still sleeping soundly.
He didn't bother Chu Yue. He sat at the table, supported his head with his hands and squinted for half an hour, then picked up his pen and started handling official business.
Chu Yue slept until lunch before waking up.
It wasn't that she had slept enough, she was woken up by hunger.
She hugged the quilt and turned over, facing the direction of Lu Xinghe.
"Ms. sir, I'm hungry."
A soft voice reached his ears, and Lu Xinghe, who was writing something, immediately stopped.
He put down the brush, stood up and came to the bedside, took Chu Yue's hand and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"As long as it's lighter, I won't choose." Chu Yue replied.
"Okay." Lu Xinghe stood up and poured a cup of warm water from the table and handed it to Chu Yue. His voice was clean and gentle, "Drink some water first, and I'll ask Ningdong to tell the kitchen to cook something for you."
Chu Yue got up from the bed with some difficulty and reached out to take Lu Xinghe's water glass.
The slight pain in her lower abdomen made her frown.
Seeing that she didn't look good, Lu Xinghe hurriedly stepped forward to support her, with a worried look on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Yue shook her head, "It's okay, I just feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach."
I counted the days and found that my menstrual period was in these two days. I was afraid it was coming. Plus, after working so hard last night, I felt a little unbearable.
Lu Xinghe also realized that the little girl might not be able to withstand his violent storm, and guilt and distress flashed in his eyes.
"I'll go find Dr. Zhang to show you."
After saying that, he stood up.
Seeing this, Chu Yue hurriedly held his hand.
"No, I'm fine."
Lu Xinghe sat down next to her and looked at her with worry.
"You look so bad, how can you be fine?"
Chu Yue brushed the strands of hair around her ears in embarrassment.
"I might... be having my period."
Her voice grew quieter and quieter.
After hearing Chu Yue's answer, Lu Xinghe looked slightly wary, then took a pillow and placed it behind Chu Yue.
"Sorry, it is my fault."
Chu Yue knew that in the past, Lu Xinghe was afraid of hurting her, so he restrained himself every time.
But she knew her body well.
Maybe it's because I'm about to have my period, so I'm a little weaker than usual.
"How can I blame you?" She took Lu Xinghe's hand and arched her eyebrows, "I'm fine. I'll just take a day or two to recuperate."
Lu Xinghe didn't say anything else. He picked up the water cup and fed her a drink of water himself. Then he told Ningdong to prepare food and went out.
In a short while, Lu Xinghe returned to the house again, holding a warm Tang Pozi in his hand.
He approached Chu Yue, lifted the quilt and placed Mrs. Tang on Chu Yue's lower abdomen, then rubbed Chu Yue's head.
"Don't get out of bed today and have a good rest. I'm in the house. If you need anything, call me."
Chu Yue smiled and nodded.
"good."
After eating, Chu Yue no longer felt drowsy, so she sat on the bed and read while holding her storybook. The discomfort in her abdomen gradually eased a lot.
In the next two or three days, considering Chu Yue's health, Lu Xinghe did not bother her again.
…
On the day before New Year's Eve, uncle Lu Laifu and fourth uncle Lu Shoucheng's family all came to the house early. Fortunately, the courtyard on the hot spring village was well built and there were many wing rooms, which were enough for the whole family.
Red lanterns were hung everywhere in the village, and there were window grilles cut by Yun Cuihe and Wang Xuelan themselves on the windows, making it look full of joy.
On the second day, the whole family got up very early.
Setting off firecrackers, offering sacrifices, and preparing reunion dinners. Today, it’s no longer just the cooks and servants working in the kitchen, but all the aunts and uncles at home are joining in.
Although life is getting better now, after living in my hometown for so many years, the customs are still the same.
Most people miss the past.
After midnight, the three big tables were ready for the New Year's Eve dinner. A family of nearly thirty people gathered around three round tables.
Lu Shoucheng sat in his seat and looked at the big guy with emotion on his face.
"Now only the second brother and his family are left. The happiest thing this year is for the third brother to reunite with our family."
Lu Laifu said with a busy smile, "There are many happy things this year. Chang Lian returned safely from the battlefield, Xinghe passed the imperial examination and became a high official. The two of them got married again. My niece and son-in-law are now also serving as officials in the court. This is a great joy for our family.”
Niece-in-law refers to Xu Heng.
It's just that Lu Yufang is a married girl after all, so of course she has to spend the New Year with Xu's family. After New Year's Eve, she has to bring Xu Yanran and Xu Heng to Zhuangzi to pay New Year's greetings.
Tian Chunyan, who was at another table, stood up from her seat and looked in the direction of the brothers.
"Our family has more than a few happy events."
