Chapter 1994 - 1994: Family Reunion Part 6
Feng Qingxue, along with Zhong Wenxiu, Jiang Xiaoyue, Aunt Zhang, and the serviceman, began preparing the meal together. Guo Yan and Wang Cuilan, the old sister-in-laws, couldn't sit still and, too lazy to join in the men's conversation, rolled up their sleeves and came to help.
Today, the family bought a lot of food, and Feng Qingxue even went out for a walk, bringing back some ingredients from her space.
Cold dishes had already been laid on the dining table, while many hot dishes were being cooked or awaited cooking in the kitchen.
"Our family has never been so complete," Wang Cuilan's laughter flowed from her eyes; at her age, isn't all she wished for just this kind of thriving scene?
The children of the Lu Family, although not biologically related, were like their own.
Feng Qingxue chuckled lightly and said, "Yes, it's rare for us all to be here, how could we not have a meal together? It's also to welcome you and Uncle Three, my father, and the others. In the future, each of the children will have their own paths, heading in different directions, and even during holidays, they may not be free at the same time; it's hard to gather like today."
In the living room, having finished asking his eldest grandson about various matters, Father Lu suddenly thought of Zhou Fengchun and looked up to Lu Jiang, saying, "Is Old Zhou living with you all? Have one of the children call him over for a drink; he's alone, and he treats your son like his own grandson."
Lu Jiang agreed without hesitation and called out loudly, "Ye Yan, Erxiong, take your Brother Xibao and invite Grandpa Zhou over, along with Ye Yan's grandparents. While you're at it, go to Sister Xiaoyue's place and bring Grandpa Jiang over, saying we have a lot of family members here today, and the grandpas are all here, invite them to join the fun."
Lu Erxiong loved to go out and play, pulled on his Lei Feng hat and shouted, "Brother, let's go!"
Lu Chen and Guan Xu were young, Lu Chen being a year older, born in seventy-two, just six years old, dressed like a round ball, waddling like a roly-poly, grabbing onto Lu Erxiong with both hands, "Bear Brother, Bear Brother, let's play together!"
Lu Erxiong had no choice but to drag the two little nephews along.
Xibao smiled broadly and went along with Ye Yan, and after half an hour, only managed to bring back Zhou Fengchun and Jiang Yun, with no sign of Ye Zhengjun and Ye Grandma, leaving Lu Jiang puzzled about what had happened.
"The serviceman uncle said my uncle's cousin was sick, seriously so, and hospitalized in the Capital hospital, wanting to stay in the cadre ward without the status, causing some disputes. My grandparents went to resolve the issue." Ye Yan's tone was indifferent because he had never met his uncle, nor had he seen the so-called aunt or cousin; to Ye Yan, they were like strangers.
To be precise, his uncle and aunt had visited his grandparents, but never mentioned him; he was stubborn, even if Ye Zhengjun and Ye Grandma invited him to eat together, he wouldn't go.
How did he know if the uncle and aunt had mentioned him? The Ye Family had a nanny who liked him very much.
Feng Qingxue didn't mind either, she didn't know Ye Zhengjun's youngest son's family anyway, "Children quickly set up the table and chairs, pour hot water for the elders to wash their hands, and get ready to eat. If one table isn't enough, didn't we bring furniture from home? Ajiang, take Tianjun and Acheng to assemble the tables and chairs first; if it's still not enough, go borrow from the neighbors."
With a command, everyone except a few elderly people started bustling around.
With many hands, everything was quickly ready; three tables were set up in the living room and dining room, seating everyone, even the children had their spots, though not at the same table as the elders.
... Today's ten chapters are finished, all my family is telling me, during the New Year holiday don't update, just go out and play. I, lastly, forgot to wish everyone a Happy New Year, dear ones, wishing good luck in the Year of the Pig, may the new year bring all your wishes true and wealth rolling in.
