Chapter 1998 - 1998: Disposing of the Huge Sum 4
Cheng Baoguo heard this and quickly proposed a toast, "All good, all good, come on, let's drink up."
In terms of brotherly feelings, he was no different from Wang Xinsheng and Lu Jiang's father, but when it came to relationships with the younger generation, the Lu Family kids definitely had the upper hand; he simply hadn't interacted much with the Wang Family kids.
Given his deep bond with the children of the Lu Family, he didn't want Wang Xinsheng's envy of the Lu children's good relationships to spread to the Wang Family.
Putting oneself in others' shoes, many people don't like being compared unfavorably to others.
Actually, when it comes to close relations between the Wang Family and the Lu Family, it's really just Wang Xinsheng, Guo Yan, and Wang Zhonghua; as for the other descendants, they probably could count on one hand how many times they've met the Lu Family members.
Jiang Yun didn't have many worries, he wanted to drink more, but unfortunately, due to his poor health, his health coach didn't allow him to drink much, so he had to stop after a light taste, enviously watching Wang Xinsheng and his two brothers drinking heavily, ignoring Guo Yan's attempts to stop them. Angry, she directly ordered several grandnephews, "Move these three drunks to one room, so they don't intoxicate us."
The only one who agreed was Wang Cuilan, "Right, let's stay in one room and let them intoxicate themselves."
Sensing the situation was not promising, Zhou Fengchun and Jiang Yun quickly bid their farewells, and Lu Tianjun's family of three left with Jiang Yun as the Lu Family's room bedding wasn't enough for everyone. Meanwhile, Guan Cheng and Guan Yu asked Lu Jiang to send them home by car, as there were no buses at this hour.
Seeing it was very late, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue wanted to arrange for them to stay at the Zhou Family's house for the night, but they were unwilling, so they had to be sent home.
After tidying up the dining room and arranging accommodations for the elders and children, Feng Qingxue and Lu Jiang finally returned to their room, it was already past eleven.
"You've been tired all evening, so rest early. Do you have work tomorrow?" As he saw his wife kneading her back, Lu Jiang immediately extended his hands to massage her, "I'm on holiday; there's nothing important, leave the house to me."
Feng Qingxue lay on the bed, letting him massage her, enjoying the bone-relaxing treatment with her eyes closed, "Tomorrow is the weekend, did you forget? I'm not working either. Last month, two skilled doctors were reinstated and transferred to the military hospital, they're very good with the scalpel and have more experience than I do, so I'm not as busy as before."
If others faced such a situation, they might feel disappointed, but not Feng Qingxue, she felt relaxed instead.
Lu Jiang was also happy for her, as he massaged his fingers inch by inch, "Alright then, tomorrow let's withdraw the money and give it to a few kids, Dad handed me the passbook at the dinner table. The sooner we give it to them, the sooner it's settled, and the rest belongs to our kids."
Feng Qingxue agreed, "Perfect timing to take Xibao and Tianzhi to buy some living necessities."
University students who took the entrance exam in '77 are starting school this spring, some in late February, some in early March. It's time to prepare the necessary items to avoid scrambling at the last minute.
Regrettably, plans never keep up with changes.
Early the next morning, just as the three old men were waking from their hangovers, getting ready to wash up and eat breakfast, Lu Jiang received a phone call from his friend Kou Yong, "Your brother-in-law came and is instigating Miao Miao and Xin to find a way to rehabilitate their parents, hinting that they have hidden gold and jewelry from back in the day."
Kou Yong is the son-in-law of Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu, having married their daughter Xu Miao, while Xu Xin is their youngest son. They've been working hard in the North Wilderness with particularly harsh conditions. Xu Miao and her brother usually live conscientiously due to their poor family background, and Kou Yong is not skilled at social maneuvering, so they've never managed to visit Huaibei City.
