While Mingyue was busy establishing the charity, Lu's father also took several stewards to other places to discuss a business deal.
The mountains are high and the roads are long. After the trip, the father and daughter have not seen each other for more than two months.
So when Father Lu returned to Lin'an County and found out that Mingyue had adopted so many children, he couldn't help but doubt his life for a moment.
Who bewitched his good daughter
Why did Yue'er suddenly do such a wasteful thing
For this reason, Father Lu specially postponed today's schedule, intending to have an honest talk with his precious daughter.
Of course, as a daughter-in-law, Father Lu is reluctant to blame his daughter at all. Anyway, all the mistakes are the fault of others, and his daughter will not be at fault.
He also specially ordered the cook to prepare a table of delicious dishes that his daughter loved, and planned to chat while eating.
When Mingyue had almost eaten, Father Lu put down his chopsticks and said cautiously: "Yue'er, tell daddy why you suddenly adopted so many children?"
Father Lu guessed, "Could he be lonely?"
Speaking of this, Father Lu began to feel guilty again.
There were only two masters in the house, father and daughter. He was busy working away from home, leaving Yue'er alone at home. It was no wonder that she was lonely and bored. Yue'er had fallen ill while staying at home.
Thinking about it this way, if those children can make my daughter happy, then she can keep them.
Mingyue had already thought that Father Lu would definitely ask about this matter after he came back, and she had already made plans in her mind.
Lu Mingyue is a simple and straightforward person, and Mingyue acts according to this personality.
"No, I'm not alone." Mingyue shook her head, with an innocent look on her face: "You also know that I built a Jishan Hall, but recently I remembered that that place is too remote, and no one knows that there is a charity hall there. Tang, wouldn’t all my efforts be in vain? So, my daughter thought that it didn’t matter if no one knew, she could just find someone to live with! I specially found those children, so that I wouldn’t worry about the charity hall being empty. It’s over!”
Father Lu, who originally thought his daughter was pitiful, froze after hearing these words.
Only now did he feel regretful. Why did he allow his daughter to cultivate Shantang in the first place
At that time, he thought, why not just build a house on the mountain? It doesn't matter if you don't use it. When the weather gets hot in summer, you can use it to escape the heat.
Who knew that my daughter would really think it was a charity, and would raise a group of children specifically for this purpose...
Father Lu was numb and his heart was numb.
But at this moment, his precious daughter raised her eyes and asked him: "Daddy, do you think I am very smart?"
Father Lu forced out a smile with difficulty: "Well, well, Yue'er is the smartest."
So Mingyue took advantage of the victory and pursued: "By the way, I also gave them new names. Since they are all adopted by me, they will take my surname. Let them meet their father tomorrow. After all, they also take their father's surname. ”
Father Lu was stunned when he heard this: "Follow my last name?"
Mingyue nodded matter-of-factly: "Yes, they will all be members of my Lu family from now on."
Father Lu was stunned. He had a weak relationship. All four children he gave birth to died, and only Mingyue survived. He felt that he only had the life of his daughter.
As a result, Mingyue now told him that the Lu family suddenly had more than twenty children.
He unexpectedly felt that this was not bad, and even felt that he had been blinded before.
He should have adopted a few children back then. Yue'er wouldn't be so lonely now. Even if he died one day, someone would take good care of her.
Thinking of this, Father Lu nodded slowly: "Take me to meet those children tomorrow."
Even if he is doing good deeds, he must do them to worthy people. He must see what kind of children his daughter adopts. "Okay." Mingyue smiled and nodded in agreement.
This was the result of her going along with the flow and doing it intentionally.
*
The second day.
While having breakfast, Mingyue couldn't help but be surprised when she saw Father Lu, who was wearing a green catalpa-colored brocade.
You must know that in order to be convincing, Father Lu's dressing style has always been very calm. Most of them are dark colors such as imperial green, ultramarine, and luozida, which really make him look mature and stable.
Today, Father Lu not only changed into bright clothes, but also deliberately shaved his beard, making him look ten years younger.
Looking at the expression on his daughter's face, Father Lu nervously touched his smooth chin: "What's wrong, Yue'er? Is there something inappropriate about dad's outfit?"
With a smile in her eyes, Mingyue deliberately said in an exaggerated tone: "No, no, no, I just wonder if this good-looking uncle in front of me is my father?"
Father Lu breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head with a smile: "You know how to tease daddy."
After the father and daughter finished eating, they set off together to the yard where the children were adopted.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the courtyard, Father Lu heard the sound of reading loudly from inside.
Father Lu looked at Mingyue with some surprise and whispered: "You also hired a husband for them?"
Mingyue nodded and lowered her voice: "Not only that, I also asked Master Wu to teach them martial arts, and the accountant in the shop to teach them arithmetic. There was a child who liked tinkering and carving, so I asked him to follow the instructions in the shop. The craftsmen are gone, and there is a girl who likes to embroider... and a child who likes to cook..."
As Mingyue introduced the children's preferences one by one, Father Lu's eyes widened.
Is this to adopt a poor kid, or to cultivate talents
Why, why are you so serious about asking someone to teach you
However, Father Lu thought about it again and felt that his daughter's idea was a good one.
There is nothing more reliable than the people you have trained with your own hands, not to mention that these are still a group of children. They are given a surname and have people teach them with all their heart. This is like a rebirth of kindness!
Father Lu and Mingyue both made a tacit understanding not to interrupt the children's study, and stood at the door for a long time. It was not until they heard the husband said to take a rest that the father and daughter raised their hands to knock on the door in unison, and couldn't help but smile at each other.
The lady who was looking after the yard heard the sound and came over. She opened the door and saw the lady of the house. A smile immediately appeared on her face: "Miss, you are here. Those little monkeys have been thinking about you for a long time today."
"Is sister here?"
"Is my sister here?"
"Sister Fairy is here. Sister, I can recite the Thousand-Character Essay."
"elder sister… "
What the aunt said was true. She probably heard the sound at the door, and suddenly a large group of children rushed over, all of them saying "sister" all the time.
These children are indeed close to Mingyue. In their hearts, Mingyue is like a fairy from heaven, saving them from the mud and giving them a new life and a bright future.
People always yearn for light.
And the bright moon is bright in the eyes of these children.
