Time flies by like a white horse, the ice and snow melt in an instant, and it is March in spring.
All things are born, and all the leaves are in full bloom.
As early as a few days ago, the craftsmen sent a message to Mingyue, saying that the construction of Jishan Hall had been completed.
In the past two months, Mingyue has been looking for suitable husbands for her children. However, it is easy to find a husband, but most of the capable people have a bit of arrogance. Mingyue needs to pay attention to each of them, which is time-consuming. A lot.
Speaking of which, Mingyue hasn't gone to the mountain to supervise work for a long time, but she doesn't know what Jishan Hall looks like now.
It just so happened that the sky was blue and the wind was sunny. Mingyue took a group of children up the mountain so that they could see where they would live in the future and take a picnic on the mountain to relax.
After Father Lu heard about this, he found it very interesting, so he put down what he was doing and followed him up the mountain.
After getting along for such a long time, Father Lu really fell in love with the children his daughter adopted.
There is no other reason than that those children have good conduct and are very dependent on and fond of their daughter, and some of them are very smart. Now Father Lu has begun to consider training them well so that they can be his daughter's backers in the future.
So even though Mingyue tried her best to hire a husband for those children and spent a lot of contacts and money, Father Lu never stopped her.
The children's feelings towards Father Lu are much simpler, probably because they love Wujiwu. As their sister's father, Father Lu is very popular among the children.
Now that we travel together, we are even more harmonious and friendly.
The hilltop where Jishantang is located is not too high. The group of people walked around, talked and laughed, and it took more than an hour to reach their destination.
What was once a dilapidated temple has now turned into a particularly exquisite and elegant courtyard.
There is a scroll-shaped door plaque hanging high at the entrance of the courtyard, with the three characters "Jishantang" written in flying colors on it.
Since all the craftsmen have left, Jishan Hall has not yet arranged for servants, so Mingyue and his party are its first visitors.
Lu Wu took the lead and opened the door with a smile, and the inside of the courtyard was revealed to a group of people.
There is a quiet water corridor at the entrance. There are three avenues in the water corridor leading to three directions. Going straight leads to the university hall, walking to the left is the dining hall, and walking to the right is the dormitory. There are many corridors formed by stones. At the junction of the two, green willows hang down, mountain rocks are embellished, and there is a screen wall engraved with a carp leaping over the dragon gate. The entire courtyard is exquisite yet interesting.
While everyone was walking, a naughty and bold koi fish surfaced under the water corridor, opening its mouth wide as if begging for food.
A child opened his mouth wide when he saw this. He pulled Mingyue in disbelief and asked, "This place is so beautiful. Sister, can I really live here in the future?"
After hearing this, the other children looked over eagerly.
Before Mingyue could speak, Father Lu said loudly: "Of course, you will all live here from now on, and Uncle Lu and your sister will come over to see you from time to time."
The children couldn't help but cheer, and even the introverted one had a smile on his face.
Mingyue couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled. Soon she remembered something again, her eyes lit up slightly, and she turned to Lu Wu and whispered a few instructions.
Lu Wu blinked in surprise, and after seeing the young lady nodding in affirmation, he quietly retreated. Mingyue was involved in most of the construction projects of this courtyard, so she became a tour guide and began to introduce the uses of various parts of the courtyard to everyone.
After they finished touring the courtyard, Mingyue let the children choose their favorite bedrooms.
If she met several children who liked the same room, she would not be biased and would just let them decide by drawing lots. Everything was based on luck, so no one complained.
By the time the room was selected, it was already afternoon.
Just when Mingyue felt her belly was empty, Lu Wu finally came back.
After going up and down the mountain and up the mountain again, I went back and forth for a long time. The green grass was still a little breathless, so I hurriedly replied: "Miss, according to your instructions, I found a few cooks to cook the meat and vegetables." The strings are all ready, and the big iron rack has been brought. Now everything is in the dining hall you mentioned. "
Hearing the word "canteen", several little ones couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and some little ones touched their bellies and looked pitifully at Mingyue.
Father Lu felt a little distressed when he saw it. He had forgotten to have dinner on the mountain and asked someone to prepare it. His daughter was more reliable!
"Thank you for your hard work, Lu Wu. I'll give you a monthly salary increase when I go back." Mingyue patted Lu Wu's arm, then shook her head with a smile and said to the children, "Are you all hungry? Come on, let's go to the canteen."
The children rushed up and followed Mingyue, their faces full of anticipation.
However, after looking at the raw meat skewers and various vegetable skewers skewered with bamboo skewers, the children were dumbfounded.
Mingyue clapped her hands, and after everyone looked over, she introduced: "One thing we are going to learn today is to be self-reliant, and this thing is called skewers. You go get what you like to eat, and then put it on the iron table yourself. After it’s grilled, the thing on the side is called seasoning. My sister has mixed this. After the skewers are cooked, you can sprinkle the seasoning on it and eat.”
After saying that, Mingyue also gave a demonstration herself.
I have to admit that everyone's eyes lit up the moment the aroma of barbecue filled the air.
Especially Lu Tianwei, who aspires to be a chef. He is the one who has most successfully copied Mingyue's barbecue recipe. At this moment, he is surrounded by a large circle of children with handicapped hands, all of whom are swallowing their saliva. Waiting for the kebab in his hand to be cooked.
But after Lu Tianwei grilled the skewers, the first thing he did was to find Mingyue. He handed over all the skewers and said happily: "Sister, I made these, and I'll give them all to you."
Mingyue's heart warmed, she reached out and took a bunch and tasted it, then smiled and encouraged: "The added flavor is really great, but my sister is already full, so you can share these with your brothers and sisters!"
Lu Tianwei smiled shyly and promised: "I will be better in the future and make more delicious food for my sister."
Mingyue couldn't help but pinch his round face and said softly: "Okay, sister, wait."
Lu Tianwei then ran away with a blushing face.
Father Lu next to him deliberately kept a straight face and snorted: "This boy only has his sister in his eyes and heart, not his Uncle Lu. My sister is full, but Uncle Lu is still hungry!"
Mingyue laughed when she heard this, and immediately took a large skewer of barbecue and coaxed: "Okay, okay, I have a dad in my heart, so I will roast the meat for dad."
Only then did Father Lu smile. So what if he couldn't raise a son and pass on the family line? His daughter is his little cotton-padded jacket!
