When Wen Nuan arrived at the Air Force Academy, there were many people coming in and out of Commander Lu's small building.
They must be Commander Lu’s old comrades and close subordinates.
Uncle Zhao saw Wen Nuan coming over, so he walked out of the yard and asked, "Xiao Nuan, why are you back at this time? Is there something you want to talk to the leader about?"
Wen Nuan looked at Uncle Zhao and said, "Qinghan said that Grandpa is going to retire, so I came to see him."
Wen Nuan glanced at Commander Lu’s small building. There were many people not only in the house but also in the yard, who seemed to be waiting to meet Commander Lu.
Before this, Wen Nuan had never heard her grandfather talk about retirement. He must have been thinking about it for a while but just didn't tell anyone.
Uncle Zhao smiled and said, "The chief said that we are getting old and it's time to give way to the younger generation."
Wen Nuan nodded, looked at Uncle Zhao and asked, "Does Grandpa plan to go to the retirement home?"
Wen Nuan has actually been testing Commander Lu's attitude over the past two years. What he means is that he doesn't want to live with them and wants to live in a retirement home.
Commander Lu said that the retirement home had everything, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, and it was comfortable to live there.
But Wen Nuan hoped that her grandfather could live with them after retirement. They were finally reunited, and now they have waited for the day of retirement.
Wen Nuan also wants to provide for Commander Lu in his old age, be filial to him, and accompany him.
After hearing what Wen Nuan said, Uncle Zhao's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he said softly: "That's what the chief said, but Xiao Nuan, do you have any ideas?"
Wen Nuan said: "I want to bring grandpa back to the courtyard."
Uncle Zhao nodded and said, "The commander is talking to Deputy Commander Shen right now. How about you go in later?"
Wen Nuan: "Okay, I'll wait a while."
*
Inside the small building.
Shen Chuanshan looked at his old comrade and chuckled, "Old Lu, are you determined to go to the retirement home? Why don't you ask Xiao Nuan and Qing Han for their opinions?"
Shen Chuanshan will retire next year, but his children have already agreed to let him move back home and no longer live in the retirement home.
He thought Lu Mingfei thought the same, but a few people just came and said they were here to help him arrange his affairs after retirement.
He also said he wanted to live in a retirement home.
Lu Mingfei put down the cup in his hand and waved his hand: "You don't understand this. You have seen it in the family compound over the years. The young people nowadays are different from us."
Lu Mingfei sighed, "There have been huge changes in the past few years, and young people don't like you to be long-winded. It's not bad to live in the retirement home. There are so many old comrades there, and there are people to help take care of you."
The retirement home has arranged everything, so there is no need to cause trouble for the young people, so that Wen Nuan doesn't have to take care of him while taking care of the children, which would make Wen Nuan even less free.
Shen Chuanshan glanced at him and said, "I don't miss that place. I have children and grandchildren at home, so it's better to have a lively atmosphere. Don't you miss Lele, Zhengyang, and Zhengqi?"
Commander Lu lowered his eyes. "I miss them. Of course I do. I've watched them grow up so fast in the past few years. It's a pity that I couldn't be with them."
It's been hard for Wen Nuan to take her children back and forth between the courtyard and the staff quarters in the past few years.
Sometimes I really envy my old comrades in the family quarters, who have their families around them and live in harmony.
Shen Chuanshan frowned and said, "Then why do you still want to go to the retirement home? Look at you, you have several great-grandchildren, all of them are smart and sensible. If you can live with your children, wouldn't you be happy?"
The retirement home is convenient, but many comrades also want to return to their own homes to retire. After all, there is nothing better than your own doghouse, and it has always been your own home.
More importantly, at their age, their hearts have become pure, and they have no pursuit of material things. They just look forward to seeing their children from time to time.
As long as conditions permit, everyone will go back to their own homes.
Commander Lu waved his hands, seemingly unmoved, "Forget it, forget it. My great-grandchildren are already so old, and they don't need me to take care of them. What do you think I should do there?"
Commander Lu had thought about this before. It would be better if Zhengyang and Zhengqi were younger and needed to be taken care of by adults.
However, the child is now in primary school and can basically take care of himself.
He is now seventy-five years old and should have retired a few years ago. If the organization hadn't needed him, he wouldn't have stayed so long.
So, what could his old bones do in the past
Shen Chuanshan said with a piercing look: "You old man, are you afraid that Xiao Nuan and the others will dislike you?"
"Who dares to dislike my grandfather?"
A crisp voice came from the door, with a hint of teasing and helplessness.
As soon as these words fell, Commander Lu and Shen Chuanshan both looked towards the door of the living room.
At the bright doorway, Wen Nuan was wearing a snow-white down jacket, which made her look even more gentle and fair, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
Next to Wen Nuan was Gu Qinghan, who was dressed in a neat military uniform and had a stern expression on his face.
It was Shen Chuanshan who reacted first and laughed: "Old man, your precious granddaughter is here."
Although Wen Nuan has not often lived in the Air Force Academy in recent years, whenever Commander Lu is free, she will come back here to have dinner with him.
It was well known that Lu Mingfei had gone through so much trouble to find his granddaughter, and that he doted on her.
Especially when Wen Nuan was admitted to Peking University, Lu Mingfei wanted to use the radio to broadcast the good news so that everyone would know that the top scorer in liberal arts that year was his precious granddaughter.
After Wen Nuan and Gu Qinghan greeted Deputy Commander Shen, they walked towards Commander Lu and said, "Grandpa, I've been looking forward to you returning to the courtyard and living with us. You can't abandon us and move into the retirement home by yourself."
"Especially Lele, she always wants to come over and chat with you, but she is now in the second year of high school and will take the college entrance examination next June, so she can never find the right time to come. Either she has to go to class or you have a meeting."
"And Zhengyang and Zhengqi want to learn target shooting from you. They say your shooting skills are very accurate, even more accurate than their father's. Now that you are retired, can you teach them?"
Wen Nuan placed her hand on Commander Lu's wrinkled hand and said with red eyes, "And what about me, Grandpa? Didn't you say you would drink with me after you retire? We haven't touched the more than 40 jars of wine in the cellar, and I've been waiting for you to come home."
Gu Qinghan added: "Grandpa, Xiao Nuan started decorating your room two years ago. The cabinet you used when you and grandma got married, your favorite pens, favorite books, and the scroll paintings left by grandma have all been placed in your room in the courtyard."
After Wen Nuan and Gu Qinghan finished speaking, Commander Lu, who had been strong-willed all his life, immediately became red-eyed.
This made him feel needed.
He turned his face away, fearing that his old comrades who were watching the show across from him would see through him.
Wen Nuan squatted down, looked up at her grandfather's profile, and said, "Grandpa, there's no rush. You still have a month before you retire. We can think about it slowly."
Wen Nuan changed the subject and said, "If you think the retirement home is more convenient, can you take us in too? We want to live with you."
They were the only ones left in Grandpa's family. If it weren't for chance, they might never have had the chance to meet each other in this lifetime, and Commander Lu would have lived alone until old age.
But since they have recognized each other, it is a great fate given by God.
Moreover, Wen Nuan has seen how good her grandfather has been to her over the years, and she also wants to be by Commander Lu's side whenever he needs her.
It's that simple.
Commander Lu didn't say anything, but his heart had been shaken by what Wen Nuan and Gu Qinghan said.
However, Shen Chuanshan, who was sitting opposite him, became anxious and said, "Old man, please say something!"
He knew that Wen Nuan and Gu Qinghan were not ungrateful and ungrateful people, so how could they possibly despise him
The words Wen Nuan said just now almost made him cry.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting older, why are my eyes so light-colored
hateful!
Commander Lu's eyes sparkled with tears. He then held his granddaughter's hand tightly and nodded: "As long as you don't despise my old bones, then go back to the courtyard!"
Wen Nuan smiled and said, "That's your courtyard, Grandpa. Thank you for giving us a home. Let's make it like this. I'll come pick you up after you pack your things."
Shen Chuanshan was also moved, and said with a smile: "This child is really good at talking. Even my old bones are moved by what you said."
Wen Nuan looked at Shen Chuanshan and laughed: "Old Chief, I am sincere in this. I hope that when you are free in the future, you can come to our house often to drink and play chess with Grandpa."
Shen Chuanshan smiled: "That sounds good. I've been thinking about those dozens of jars of Niulanshan Erguotou for a long time. This time I can finally drink to my heart's content, right?"
When Commander Lu heard this, he looked at his old comrade with a stern face and said, "Go away, go away. There are only a few dozen jars. Do you think I have hidden a lot?"
Shen Chuanshan pouted and snorted, "Stingy, Xiao Nuan, you should talk about your grandfather. He is so stingy at this age!"
Wen Nuan smiled and said, "No, that won't work. I'm the internal guard. If my grandfather doesn't want to, then I'll have to trouble Deputy Commander Shen to take care of it."
Commander Lu laughed and looked at Shen Chuanshan, who raised his chin proudly. "Old man, did you hear that? My granddaughter is protecting me."
Commander Lu had not laughed so happily in the past two years. This smile attracted everyone waiting outside the door.
They all stretched their necks, wanting to see what was going on here.
Shen Chuanshan felt a little uncomfortable, so bitter that his teeth ached. He immediately stood up and said, "I won't talk to you anymore. I'll go over there when the time comes. I don't believe you won't bring out the wine!"
After saying that, he patted his butt and prepared to leave.
This old guy's smile is so annoying!
Commander Lu chuckled and said, "Old man, remember to bring your Red Xifeng when you come to see me, otherwise I won't entertain you."
Shen Chuanshan snorted, put his hands behind his back and slowly left.
As soon as Shen Chuanshan left, Uncle Zhao came in and asked, "Chief, have you made a decision?"
Commander Lu nodded and said with a smile, "Well, let's pack up our things, and you can come with me to the courtyard."
Mother Chen has also been living in the Siheyuan in recent years, so it's a good opportunity for her to bring Old Zhao with her.
Lao Zhao has followed him for thirty or forty years. The two are like friends, and Lao Zhao has also said that he will follow him even after retirement.
It just so happened that Uncle Zhao's home was also near the Siheyuan, so even though I couldn't live with him, at least I could see him often and he could take care of me.
Uncle Zhao looked at Commander Lu and asked excitedly, "So, can I go with you?"
Wen Nuan smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao, you can come whenever you want. Of course, you can always come home if you get bored."
Commander Lu nodded: "Yes, you can treat me as a friend and a relative in the future. If you want to chat, come and find me. If you want to stay, there is room for you at home. From now on, our two families will treat each other as relatives."
Loved ones…
As soon as Commander Lu finished speaking, Uncle Zhao's eyes turned red.
He looked at Commander Lu and choked up, "Commander, you are..."
After listening to Commander Lu's words, Uncle Zhao became more determined to continue following Commander Lu.
Because they are family.
Commander Lu raised his head, looked around the small building where he had lived for twenty years, and said with a smile: "You don't have to call me Chief anymore."
Old Zhao pursed his lips, looked at Commander Lu, and said firmly: "No, you will always be my leader."
*
After Commander Lu decided to move to the courtyard house, Wen Nuan told the children the news.
After the children found out, they cleaned Commander Lu's room again, determined to make the old man live comfortably.
By the time Commander Lu retired, it was already January 1986.
Wen Nuan brought a few children to pick up Commander Lu.
By the way, transport Commander Lu’s things to the courtyard.
When they arrived at the Air Force Academy, many people came to Commander Lu's small building. When they saw Wen Nuan and the others coming, they said:
"Commander Lu, are you moving to the retirement home or somewhere else?"
"I don't know. I heard before that he moved to a retirement home, but some people said he moved to his granddaughter's place."
Wen Nuan happened to walk into the yard and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, leaders. My grandfather is going to move in and live with us."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started looking at each other.
Don’t you want to go to the retirement home anymore
For a cadre of Commander Lu's rank, the conditions in the retirement home must be very good. Does he really want to live with his own granddaughter
Wen Nuan saw everyone's confusion and said, "Grandpa has worked hard for most of his life. As a younger generation, it is time for me to be filial to him and let him enjoy his old age. Although the conditions in the retirement home are good, it will be more fun for everyone to live together, and we can be the first to know if there is anything wrong with the old man."
Gu Qinghan echoed, "Our biggest wish is to live with grandpa so that he can enjoy the happiness of family life."
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in surprise.
I don't know who said it first: "It's good to live together. Living in a retirement home is full of old people. It's not as lively and comfortable as home."
Yes, if the children are willing to be taken home, who would be willing to go to a retirement home
Everyone used to think that Commander Lu would spend the last years of his life in a retirement home.
But unexpectedly, the granddaughter was found and she was so promising. Not only was she admitted to one of the best universities in the country, but now she wants to take Commander Lu back to live with them in the old house.
It's really unpredictable.
However, it is really good to be able to reunite as a family, as if we have finally found our home.
Wen Nuan smiled at them and said, "Then I'll go in and help my grandfather pack his things."
Gu Wanyue, Lu Zhengyang and Lu Zhengqi had already run into the small building and shouted, "Great Grandfather—"
Commander Lu looked at the children who came in and said with a smile, "Wanyue, Zhengyang, Zhengqi, you are all here?"
Gu Wanyue had already walked over and held Commander Lu's arm, saying, "Grandpa, we are here to take you home."
'Go home' These two touched Commander Lu's heart.
He once thought that he would spend the rest of his life in a retirement home, without any family.
Who could have thought that he would have his family again and a warm home
Commander Lu lowered his eyes slightly and replied, "Okay, we'll go home together later."
Gu Wanyue looked around the living room and asked, "Grandpa, what do you want to clean up? I'll help you clean it up."
The living room was much emptier, but it seemed like nothing had changed. However, several luggage bags had been packed, which should contain some daily necessities for Commander Lu.
Uncle Zhao heard the child's voice and came out of Commander Lu's room and said, "These are some of the old commander's clothes, all packed up."
Because they had already started packing, ever since Commander Lu decided to move to the courtyard house, Wen Nuan had come over one after another over the past month to get some things.
So now there are only some things that Commander Lu uses in his daily life.
There wasn't much left, so it was quick to clean up.
Lu Zhengyang saw Uncle Zhao coming out with a bag, and he quickly stepped forward to take the things in his hand, saying, "Grandpa Zhao, let me take this."
Uncle Zhao said, "No, it's very heavy. Let me take it."
Lu Zhengyang said proudly: "It's okay, I'm a man now, I can do this."
Seeing this, Lu Zhengqi followed suit and picked up a bag of luggage, saying, "I'll help too!"
Uncle Zhao watched the two half-grown children carry the bags directly onto their shoulders, and hurriedly reminded them, "Then be careful. If you can't carry it, let Grandpa Zhao do it."
Gu Wanyue smiled and said to Uncle Zhao, "Grandpa Zhao, don't worry, they are very strong now. You can take a rest first, and I will help you get these things to the car."
Uncle Zhao smiled and replied, "Okay, okay, let's take it together."
Wen Nuan saw that they had already neatly moved the remaining things to the car, so she walked over to Commander Lu and asked, "Grandpa, is there anything else you need to pack?"
Commander Lu looked around the living room, smiled and shook his head: "Everything is packed, let's go."
Gu Qinghan looked around and saw that there was nothing left to take, so he said, "Then I'll go out and drive now."
Wen Nuan and Commander Landing stood together, looked at the living room which already seemed a little empty, and said, "Grandpa, let's go home now."
"Okay, let's go home." Commander Lu retracted his gaze and walked towards the gate.
In this way, I said goodbye to the General Air Force Academy where I had worked for twenty years.
The car drove away from the compound.
A figure walked out of the guard booth at the gate.
The guard looked at the car going away and asked, "Deputy Commander Shen, Commander Lu's car has already gone far away, why are you coming out now?"
Although this is the headquarters of the three major navy, army and air force, everyone knows that Deputy Commander Shen and Commander Lu are old comrades who have known each other for a long time.
Although the two often quarreled with each other, their revolutionary friendship was well known.
Deputy Commander Shen had stayed here for so long just now, and he thought that Deputy Commander Shen was waiting here on purpose to say goodbye to Commander Lu.
Deputy Commander Shen scratched his head and said in an embarrassed tone: "I just came out to breathe some fresh air. I don't care whether he leaves or not."
After saying that, he walked out of the compound with his hands behind his back, but his eyes were looking in the direction the car left.
Fortunately, I didn’t come out to send it off.
Otherwise, wouldn’t that old guy Lu Mingfei laugh him to death
It’s better this way. It’s not like we won’t see each other anymore.

Siheyuan.
As soon as Commander Lu got out of the car, he saw Uncle Li waiting outside the courtyard gate.
As soon as the other party saw him getting out of the car, he smiled and greeted him: "Xiao Feifei, I finally got you back. I missed you so much."
Commander Lu took off his solemn military uniform, and his face looked less solemn. He frowned and said, "Go away, go away. You, Li Dazui, are really a dog with no elephant in its mouth. If you keep yelling, I will really beat you up, do you believe it?"
Uncle Li said with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay, today is a great day for you to go home, old leader, I can't spoil your fun no matter what."
Uncle Li made way for me and said, "Come on, come on, come in quickly. Your Xiao Nuan asked me to come over early to help cook some mutton soup, saying that she wanted to celebrate your return home."
At first he knew that Lu Mingfei would not come back to the Siheyuan after retirement. After all, he was such a high-ranking official and many people moved into Courtyard No. 9.
Commander Lu will most likely also be arranged to go to the retirement home in Courtyard No. 9.
Then it will be difficult for him to find Xiao Feifei to drink with him in the future.
Commander Lu snorted: "That's more like it."
But it is still touching that Uncle Li waited here on purpose.
Wen Nuan took the luggage and said, "Grandpa, it's cold, let's go in quickly."
Gu Wanyue followed closely behind, and directly took Commander Lu's arm and said, "Grandpa, welcome home!"
Commander Lu looked at the courtyard he hadn't been back to for several months, and then smiled and said, "Okay, let's go home."
Having said that, he followed the warm footsteps and walked into the courtyard.
Today, the quadrangle courtyard is full of the atmosphere of life, and everywhere are traces of the warmth of their lives. Although it is winter, the square courtyard has been planted with ginkgo trees, persimmon trees and pomegranate trees, and the trees are hung with red lanterns for decoration, which looks very festive.
The houses were also well maintained, with repainted pillars, clean windows and bright tables, looking very comfortable.
Wen Nuan said, "Grandpa, let's put your things in the room first and clean up after we eat."
Lu Zhengyang and Lu Zhengqi were holding two bags of luggage, panting and saying, "We'll release the luggage first, too."
Commander Lu chose the house a few years ago and lived in the backyard.
Wen Nuan also had someone come over to renovate the house and the furniture was rearranged. There is a living room at the entrance, a bedroom on the right, and a study on the left. The area is definitely large enough.
Uncle Zhao and Aunt Chen’s rooms are also in the backyard.
However, Chen's mother said that she might not live here for a long time in the future, and would return to her children's homes from time to time, so their rooms are smaller, but they have all the necessary things.
After everyone worked together to move all the things into the house, they had a simple meal.
After dinner, Commander Lu played chess with Uncle Li.
Several children have been learning to play chess from Commander Lu, so they sat aside and watched. They were all very interested in playing chess and asked various questions from time to time. Commander Lu and Uncle Li explained to the children patiently.
The scene was very harmonious and lively, and everyone's face was filled with smiles.
Wen Nuan watched this scene and said to Gu Qinghan beside her: "That's great, Grandpa is finally back."
In fact, Wen Nuan thought Commander Lu would retire two years ago, but she didn't expect that he would persist until now. He really dedicated most of his life to the revolutionary cause.
Fortunately, it’s not too late now.
Gu Qinghan took his wife's hand and smiled: "As long as everyone is happy."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Nuan looked at her husband and said, "It will be hard for you to run back and forth, but I will make time to go to Kongyuan every week, so don't worry."
Gu Qinghan reached out and scratched her nose, saying, "It's okay. Now I have a car, I can come back often."
His loved ones, as well as his children and elders, are here, so he must come back often.
Wen Nuan raised her toes, leaned close to Gu Qinghan's ear, blew a breath, and whispered, "If it's inconvenient because there are so many people here, we can actually go back to the family compound."
Gu Qinghan couldn't help but tremble on one side of his body. He squeezed the warm palm and said two words through gritted teeth: "Fairy."
*
In the blink of an eye, it was the Spring Festival of 1986.
After 1986, people in the hutongs began to change their mindset, from being disgusted with self-employed people to trying it themselves.
After all, riding on this wave of reform, even pigs can make money.
Not to mention that they all saw Wen Nuan open restaurants and hotels, and now they are extremely busy, and the flow of people is also skyrocketing.
Everyone is wondering whether Wen Nuan has made a fortune in the past two years.
Even Xiao Maodan had the idea of doing business, because he failed the college entrance examination for two consecutive years and simply went out to find a job.
However, none of them were satisfactory. Seeing more and more self-employed people in Daqianmen, he began to feel itchy and planned to start some small business as well.
So the little boy found warmth.
"Sister, what do you think I should do?"
Wen Nuan was preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. When she heard Xiao Maodan ask this, she asked, "Is there anything you want to do?"
Wen Nuan's restaurant and hotel are not short of people now, and Wen Nuan doesn't want to invite people from the alley.
Besides, Xiao Maodan should be someone who can achieve great things. Since he already has the idea of doing business, of course he should give it a try.
Xiao Maodan shook his head and then said, "I plan to do some small business like those people who sell big bowls of tea in Daqianmen, but I don't know what to sell."
Wen Nuan smiled without even looking up and said, "Isn't this easy? Go to Guangzhou or Shenzhen, and you'll know what you want to sell."
Xiao Maodan's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief, "You want me to go to the South?"
Wen Nuan nodded: "There is everything in the south, and now you don't need a letter of introduction. You can go south with your ID card and buy a ticket. If you really can't think of anything to sell, then you can take a little bit of everything, such as cosmetics, tape recorders, watches, and clothes. If you want to go, I'll ask my friend to pick you up."
Xiao Maodan hesitated for a while, "Sister, let me think about it first."
Wen Nuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, isn't it Chinese New Year? We can go after the Spring Festival."
At this time, Uncle Li, who was playing chess, said with a smile: "Little boy, if you go to the south to get the goods, I will also invest a little. I will pay the money and you will do the work. How about that?"
Uncle Li is already eighty years old. At his age, he doesn't want to run around.
But when I see other people making money, I also feel itchy and want to see if money is really that easy to make.
Some time ago, he saw Wen Nuan paying taxes and actually paid nearly 100,000 yuan.
I have to say, it is really eye-opening.
Xiao Maodan was just worrying about not having enough money. When Uncle Li said this, he felt like he had found a savior and nodded quickly: "Uncle Li, then it's settled. How much money do you want to invest?"
Uncle Li thought about it and said, "How about 10,000 yuan, 50-50 profit? If you agree, I'll pay you right away."
Xiao Maodan was stunned for a moment. Ten thousand
He has never seen so much money in his life! !
Is Mr. Li so rich
Xiao Maodan nodded repeatedly: "Okay!"
"Okay, I'll go back and get you the money now." Uncle Li stood up and said, "You all, bear witness for me. Xiao Maodan, work with me, and we'll split it 50-50."
"I don't want it." Commander Lu played with a chess piece and said, "Personal favors are personal favors, but the amount must be clear. Writing it down in black and white is the most advantageous evidence."
Uncle Li suddenly realized and looked at Xiao Maodan: "Our Xiao Feifei's words are true, Xiao Maodan, how about writing a letter as proof?"
Xiao Maodan said cheerfully: "No problem, this is better, so that everyone won't have any complaints."
After all, it involves money, and he is now almost doing a no-cost business. If he can split it 50-50, it would be like picking up money for free.
Since everyone was a man of action, Wen Nuan and Commander Lu drafted an agreement for them in triplicate, leaving one copy for Commander Lu to keep.
Uncle Li and Xiao Maodan both signed their names readily.
Then, Uncle Li looked at Commander Lu and asked, "Old Commander, don't you want to participate?"
Commander Lu must have saved a lot of money over the years. Now that he is retired, his pension must be much higher than those of them.
Commander Lu shook his head and said with a smile: "I have my granddaughter to take care of me, so I don't need to worry about making money."
In fact, they are restricted and are not allowed to engage in business.
But he really has no interest in this aspect, and Wen Nuan doesn't need him to worry about making money to support the family, so his life is easy now.
Uncle Li: “…”
Uncle Li said, "Well, I'm making money, so don't be jealous of me."
Commander Lu laughed and said proudly, "Why should I be jealous of you? My granddaughter definitely earns more than you!"
Uncle Li: “…”
He was installed.
Wen Nuan was at a loss for words and had to temporarily stay away from the battlefield.
*
After the New Year, Xiao Maodan went to the south and quickly earned his first pot of gold.
Then Xiao Maodan and Uncle Li discussed opening a small shop to continue selling various things.
Commander Lu here also gradually adapted to the hutong life.
Every morning he would get up early, wake up the children and supervise them to eat breakfast.
Then, when I go out for exercise, I take them to school, even though some of the children no longer need to be picked up.
But Commander Lu still enjoys it.
After a period of time, Commander Lu's spirits were better than when he was in office, and he felt more and more hopeful about his life.
Because after the New Year, Gu Wanyue will have to take the college entrance examination in June.
As the first child in the family to take the college entrance examination, Commander Lu is very concerned about Lele's performance this time.
Not only did he make a study plan for her every day, he also took time out to arrange some appropriate entertainment activities for her to ensure that she had a good balance between work and rest.
Every time Cai Siling and Bei'er Huahua came to the courtyard, they were curious about what Gu Wanyue was busy with every day.
On this weekend, Cai Siling and Huahua came to the courtyard and saw Gu Wanyue buried in her homework, so they asked, "Wanyue, are you busy again today? Bei'er and I are going to buy some tapes."
Gu Wanyue looked up from the test paper and said, "I won't go. I have to finish this test first."
Cai Siling asked in confusion: "You are such a good student, why are you still working so hard?"
Gu Wanyue often took first or second place, and her results were far better than those other girls.
If she wanted to go to college, it would be a piece of cake.
Gu Wanyue sighed: "My great grandfather asked me whether I wanted to apply to Beijing University or Huazhong University. What if I don't work hard and fail?"
Huahua was stunned: "How could you fail the entrance exam? Which university are you going to apply to, Lele? Is it Beijing University like your aunt?"
Gu Wanyue: "... I haven't thought about it yet."
In June of this year, Gu Wanyue was preparing to take the college entrance examination. Just like the year when she took the college entrance examination, her family sent her to the entrance of the examination room.
Commander Lu touched Gu Wanyue's head and said, "Wanyue, Grandfather has confidence in you. Relax, don't be nervous, and answer the questions seriously."
Gu Wanyue smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you, great grandfather, for taking the trouble to accompany me to study during this period of time."
Commander Lu: "Silly child, Grandpa is so happy, it's not hard at all!"
Lu Zhengyang encouraged loudly: "Sister, I will wait for you to become the top scholar sister."
Lu Zhengqi: "Come on, sister, you are the best. I will wait for you to become the top scorer."
Gu Wanyue bent her fingers and tapped her two younger brothers on the foreheads: "Okay, I'll borrow your good wishes."
Gu Qinghan put a sweet osmanthus branch in Lele's pocket and said, "Dad wishes you good luck in the college entrance examination and success."
Wen Nuan put a lucky star in Lele's pocket and said, "Baby, Mommy wishes you all the best."
Gu Wanyue hugged her father and mother and said, "Thank you, Dad, thank you, Mom. I'll go in first."
Gu Wanyue walked into the examination room with her admission ticket and study supplies.
As soon as she entered the school gate, Gu Wanyue ran into Liu Huaqing, who was taking the college entrance examination with her. The two smiled at each other and asked, "You are also in this examination room?"
Gu Wanyue smiled and said, "Then let's go up together."
Liu Huaqing nodded: "Okay."
When they reached the entrance of the examination room, Liu Huaqing stopped and called her, "Gu Wanyue."
Gu Wanyue turned around and looked at him: "Hmm?"
Liu Huaqing was wearing a clean and fresh school uniform with his collar slightly open. His tall figure stood in the sun with his eyelids drooping. "I plan to go to Huada University, what about you?"
Gu Wanyue thought about it and replied, "I haven't thought about it yet."
On a hot afternoon in mid-August, when Gu Wanyue was eating ice cream and watching "Jigong" at home, the postman delivered her admission letter.
