Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 96

In the end, the winged beans were very popular. It happened that Qin Rou had a large piece of winged beans hanging in the yard, and went to pick a lot of them, and fried several plates.

All the dishes on a large table were cleaned, not even the big steamed buns were left.

But it was really good.

After Lu Zongyi finished eating, he felt both happy and unhappy. He originally thought that his son was suffering on the small island in the south, but only to find out that he was holding a beautiful wife, she also cooked good dishes. The point was that the vegetables she grew were sweet!

Fragrant and sweet! ! After the meal, they also tasted some small washed tomatoes.

Obviously they were father and son, why were their wives so different?

Lu Zongyi washed a clean cucumber, and found that the cucumber was also very sweet and juicy, and tasted extraordinarily delicious.

Compared with the pickled vegetables in winter, the fresh and tender vegetables were more delicious.

Old Lu, Old Wang, and Old He were sitting in the yard under the thatched umbrella, enjoying the wind.

Old Lu sighed and said sadly, “I remember the long days of the past.”

“My youngest son is married. I got so old, old…”

“Alas…”

Old Wang quickly stopped him, “Stop pretending here, you just want me to envy you, which I never will!” 

That was Old Wang’s last stubbornness.

Lu Zongyi said bitterly: “…” I also envy my son.

At night, the guests slept over. Their house was big enough, and they had a few beds before. They didn’t even need quilts because it was not too cold. The military coats they wore before were useful.

Obviously it should be the cold winter and twelfth lunar month!

Qin Rou was lying on the bed, and Lu Yan went to bed and took her into his arms. She was still thinking about when they ate steamed buns neatly, and she was so out of place.

Then she thought of another sad fact – she was the shortest in the family! The shortest!

Looking at the height of Lu Yan’s father and mother, she knew that his brothers and sister would not be short, and his second sister-in-law was said to… so she was the shortest in the family, petite and exquisite, pocket-sized, like a little bird.

Jiang Ping also said that she would take a photo with the  family later. She was the shortest in the family.

In the future, would she still be the shortest in the family?!

Qin Rou suddenly remembered a sentence, “I’m not here to break up this family, I’m here to join this family.”

Lu Yan: “…?”

The next day, Lu Yan’s parents, Old Wang and Old He hung out on Qiongzhou Island. They were familiar with the customs of that small southern island. They had just come from the north and sighed about the comfort of the winter there.

“It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t snow. If there is a blue sky and white clouds like this, it’s really comfortable.”

“I don’t even want to go back.”

…

Perhaps seeing so many photos at Lu Yan’s house, the old guests were also stimulated. They asked Lu Yan if they could borrow the camera, and the two old couples wanted some photos for nostalgia.

Not to mention, taking pictures was really addicting. These retired cadres had their own pensions. They were not short of money, and had no other money-burning hobbies.

Photograph! They wanted to buy a camera!

Lu Zongyi cheered. At his age, he wanted to have more photos than his son and daughter-in-law.

Once people started taking pictures, they couldn’t stop. The two old couples were quite good at learning. They specially asked Lu Yan and his wife for their photo albums for reference. Qin Rou couldn’t refuse and gave the photo album to her parents-in-law.

Qin Rou especially liked Lu Yan’s body and appearance. When Lu Yan was not at home, she looked at her husband’s photos at night to relieve her boredom. She had posted Lu Yan’s photos in many places in the house, so that when he was not at home, she could see him everywhere.

In order to satisfy her unspeakable careful thoughts, she quietly encouraged Lu Yan to clean up and took a lot of good photos for him.

As a result, Old Lu, Old Wang, and Old He looked at Lu Yan’s photos and said, “That’s it, Xiao Qin, you can also take the same kind of picture of me.”

Qin Rou: “…”

It was a bit difficult, not all people looked good in such a pose.

“Okay, okay, okay…” 

But that was the elders’ request, how could she refuse? Qin Rou had to help them take pictures.

Jiang Ping and Lao Wang’s wife on the side saw that scene.

“Don’t mess with Xiao Qin, she is still pregnant, you can take pictures by yourself.”

“Xiao Qin, just help me take two pictures on the swing.”

Old Lu, Old Wang, and Old He: “…”

Considering that Qin Rou was pregnant, she really couldn’t work hard, and Lu Yan was not at home. So Mr. Zhang, who was next door, was caught by them.

Zhang Chengbei was extremely hard-pressed, even if he was asked to take pictures, the three had an in-depth discussion (education) with him on the issue of their family’s yard.

– How could you make the yard look like that?

Mr. Zhang: “…”

Old Lu, Old Wang, and Old He enthusiastically gave him ideas.

“Plant in a small area first.”

“How did you plant it?”

“Would you like to plant some sunflowers?”
