Grandpa Lin’s 90th birthday was a very lively occasion. The Lin family has four generations living together, so how could it not be lively
First is the eldest wife of the Lin family.
Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin, their eldest son Lin Yiyang and his wife had two children. It was not that they did not want to have more children, but family planning came into effect before the third child was conceived, so there were only two children, both sons.
Next is Lin Aojun and Su Fen. Although Su Fen had planned this marriage at the beginning, she never made any trouble since they got married, so both Grandma Lin and Aunt Lin's views on Su Fen changed. Especially after the college entrance examination was resumed, Su Fen was admitted to university, and some people said behind her back that Lin Aojun would definitely be abandoned.
But Su Fen didn't, she and Lin Aojun were still very much in love.
Compared with the ten people in the two big houses, the number of people in the second house is smaller.
Lin's father and mother, Lin Luming is not married yet, plus Lin Qingqing and her family of four, there are only seven people in total.
In comparison, the third branch of the Lin family has more people.
The three sons of the third wife have all gotten married. Lin Sanbin and Lin Shi have four people each, and Lin Wu has three people, a total of thirteen people.
Therefore, Grandpa Lin was celebrating his birthday, and there were 32 members of the Lin family alone. Even in this era, a family of 32 was considered to be populous.
So, on Grandpa Lin’s 90th birthday, the banquet was attended by family members, relatives and fellow villagers. Not only was there a lot of people, it was also very lively.
Grandpa Lin looked at the people in the yard, the smile in his eyes never faded.
However, on the day after his birthday, Grandpa Lin called his three sons and a granddaughter and took out a box: "This is the family fortune left by our Lin family from generation to generation. In the past, due to the national situation, we could not take out the money. Now I don’t have this concern, so I will divide the family fortune again." Although he is in good health now, if he doesn’t divide it now, he doesn’t know if he will have the chance to divide it in the future.
Grandpa Lin first took out a small box: "This is my mother's stuff. She had arranged this before she died. It was specially for Qingqing."
Lin Qingqing did not refuse. She recalled the old lady in her memory, and her eyes became red: "Thank you, grandma."
Grandpa Lin added: "These remaining ones are what I received from my father. I used to think they were rare, but now seeing that your children are so promising, I am embarrassed to take out these assets from my family." As he said that, he opened them for everyone to see.
Grandpa Lin's wealth cannot be measured in monetary terms, such as small gold bars, silver coins, etc. "Before dividing these things, my wife and I discussed it. We divided these things into four parts, one for each of the first, second, and third rooms, and one for Qingqing. Do you have any objections?"
The three brothers of the Lin family shook their heads. Their children are now rich, and they really don't care about this. They didn't care when the family was poor before, let alone now.
After dividing up the assets, Grandpa Lin breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't know when we can get together like this again. I hope everyone can always be well." He felt that the next time they got together would be when the two of them passed away.
Lin Qingqing said: "From now on, we will be together during the Chinese New Year. We all have holidays. Since you are your own boss, you are not allowed to say that you don't have this little time."
Father Lin said, "I'll listen to you."
Lin Qingqing didn't say this casually, she knew that the old people were old and didn't know what tomorrow would bring, so she wanted to let Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin enjoy more family happiness while they were still alive.
However, Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin enjoyed this family happiness for more than ten years, because they both lived long lives. This is probably the benefit of having a doctor at home. Without Grandpa Lin, the Lin family would not be so healthy.
Grandpa Lin passed away on the day after his 100th birthday. Grandma Lin also passed away just one month after Grandpa Lin. The couple had a good relationship and had never had a fight in decades. It’s good that they died one after another, at least they had a companion on the Naihe Bridge.
…
After Grandpa Lin’s 90th birthday, two things happened in the Lu family.
The first thing was that the Zhang family came to her house. This was the first time the Zhang family came to her house since the end of the ten years of hardship. To be honest, if the Zhang family hadn't come, she wouldn't know if anyone in the Zhang family was still alive.
The person from the Zhang family was Zhang Shimin, the uncle of the Zhang family whom Lin Qingqing had met before. Zhang Shimin was very old, with a head full of white hair, and he looked no less handsome than the 90-year-old Grandpa Lin.
It was the weekend, and Lu Cheng and Lin Qingqing were playing badminton at home to exercise.
Zhang Shimin came without any polite words, just told them that Zhang Shilin was dying and wanted to see Lu Cheng for the last time. But Lu Cheng refused.
At night, Lin Qingqing asked him, "Do you regret not seeing him for the last time?"
Lu Cheng said, "No, I don't even remember what he looks like." He really didn't remember. Decades had passed, and his memories before the age of eight had long since become blurred. Moreover, there was no place for him in his mind.
Lu Cheng was a stubborn person, he said he would not go, so he did not go. But half a month later, Zhang Shimin came again, bringing a lawyer with him, because of the issue of Zhang Shilin's inheritance.
Zhang Shilin passed away and left all his inheritance to Lu Cheng. Actually, the inheritance was not much. When he was sent down to the countryside, he gave most of his money to Xu Mei. What was left now was some of what the government gave them after they came back.
Lin Qingqing and Lu Cheng were a little confused about why Zhang Shilin left his inheritance to Lu Cheng. Zhang Shimin told them that in those ten years, Zhang Shilin and Xu Mei's two children died one after another, even Xu Mei passed away a few years ago.
It turned out that there was no one left to inherit the estate.
Lu Cheng didn't want these things, but if he didn't accept them, it would be difficult to handle the procedures with the lawyer, so Lin Qingqing gave Lu Cheng an idea to let the lawyer donate the inheritance to the country. Lu Cheng also thought this was a good idea.
Seeing this, Zhang Shimin could only helplessly accept it.
The second thing is related to Lu Xiaobao.
Lin Qingqing has always been troubled by Lu Haici and Lu Xiaobao's marriage, but she didn't urge them to get married because she didn't like being urged to get married. However, she understood why parents always urge them to get married, because they are also worried when they see their children not getting married.
Lu Cheng was very open-minded. He believed that he was the one who lived his own life and had to bear all the consequences no matter what they were.
However, she did not wait for Lu Haici's marriage, but waited for Lu Xiaobao's big bomb.
That night, the family of four was having dinner. When everyone had almost finished eating, Lu Xiaobao said, "Dad, Mom, brother, I have good news to tell you."
Lu Haici is 35 years old this year, and Lu Xiaobao is 27 years old this year. A 27-year-old girl is considered an adult in this era, or to put it bluntly, a leftover woman. But Lu Xiaobao has a cheerful personality, and because her family is well-off, she has never pursued the future since she was a child. Lin Qingqing and Lu Cheng both agree with her mentality. Everyone has their own way of living, and their children can live according to their own ideas. Why should they force her
"What good news?" Lin Qingqing asked curiously on behalf of the whole family. Even Lu Cheng and Lu Haici looked at her. Regardless of what the father and son thought, according to past practice, good news about their daughter (sister) was definitely not good news that they were interested in.
Lu Xiaobao looked at them mysteriously, then said proudly: "I'm pregnant."
Yes, that expression was one of smugness.
"What did you say?" Lin Qingqing suspected that she had heard it wrong.
"I'm pregnant." Lu Xiaobao repeated.
"Whose?" Lu Haici narrowed his eyes. His sister was a person without ambitions. She had been working in his company since graduating from college. Her biggest interest was to dress up beautifully every day to go to work. Lu Haici also liked her carefree nature. Basically, the brother and sister went to work together and left work together. His sister had no chance to meet other men. So... could this man be from the company
Lu Cheng also narrowed his eyes. Compared to his son's reaction, he was calm after all. But it was just on the surface. He was already thinking about how to cut the other party into pieces.
Lin Qingqing was not angry. To be honest, she was not surprised that her daughter would do such a thing, but she also wanted to know who the other party was. So, she looked at her daughter and said nothing.
"Hehe..." Lu Xiaobao shrank his neck and laughed a little timidly, "It's the one you all know."
Do you know them all
Lu Haici initially suspected that it was someone in the company. If there was someone in the company they all knew... Lu Haici ran out without saying a word, and even took away the car keys of Lin Qingqing's Santana while running.
"Brother..." Lu Xiaobao chased him out, "Brother, what are you doing?"
"Come back." Lu Cheng had his back to his daughter, but his voice was unquestionable.
Although Lu Cheng loved Lu Xiaobao since childhood, Lu Xiaobao was still a little afraid of her father. When she was a child, her mother often taught her a lesson. When she was disobedient, her mother would hit her palms. But compared to her mother, she was more afraid of her father. So when she heard her father's words, she returned to the table in fear.
"Is it Ji Yang's?" Lu Cheng asked.
When Lin Qingqing heard that it was Ji Yang's, she was relieved. They watched Ji Yang grow up, and his character was beyond reproach. Besides, Ji Changfeng and Xu Huijuan were also easy to get along with, so they were not afraid that their daughter would be bullied by her mother-in-law after marrying him. Of course, even if she was bullied, it was her daughter's choice. A woman who got pregnant before marriage was not caring about herself. However, while she was relieved, she was a little disappointed with Ji Yang. A man who really loved someone and made a girl pregnant without meeting her parents or settling a marriage, at least she would not choose such a man.
“No, no, no…” Lu Xiaobao said hurriedly.
"Not Ji Yang's?" Lu Cheng couldn't help but frown.
At the same time, Lu Haici had already driven to Ji Yang's house.
Ji Yang bought a house near the Lu family, so Lu Haici arrived quickly.
Knock, knock, knock... As soon as he arrived at Ji Yang's house, Lu Haici knocked on the door bang, bang, bang, bang, almost kicking it.
Ji Yang went to open the door and asked, "Who is it?"
No one answered him, because Lu Haici just greeted them with his fist.
Ji Yang's body flashed slightly, and he subconsciously received the punch. They were both raised in the army and trained together, so Ji Yang's skills were not inferior to Lu Haici's. However, when his fist was about to hit Lu Haici, Ji Yang held on. He thought of something. So Lu Haici knew
When he was distracted, he was hit on the face, and his handsome face immediately turned red. "Don't hit people in the face." Ji Yang reminded.
"I hit you in the face because I told you not to use this face to lie to others." Lu Haici said angrily.
Ji Yang is very good-looking. There is nothing you can do about it. In today’s novels, it is standard for the male protagonist to be good-looking. Not only good looks are required, but also IQ and EQ.
Ji Yang took a deep breath. Lu Haici had hit him really hard, but he couldn't fight back. He was beaten for a full half hour. In addition to his face, his body was also covered with wounds. Half an hour later, he lay on the ground and asked, "Do you know about Xiaobao and me?"
Lu Haici looked down at him, his sharp eyes carrying a bit of ferocity: "How dare you touch my sister? I misjudged you."
Ji Yang was stunned: "When did I mess with her? I was in love with her. We have been dating for several years. She didn't want to get married, so I just let her do what she wanted. And she is your sister. How can I be superior to her?"
"Then you let her get pregnant before marriage?" Lu Haici wanted to kill him with a knife.
"What did you say?" Ji Yang suddenly stood up from the ground and grabbed Lu Haici's collar, "You said she is pregnant?" Seeing the fierceness in Lu Haici's eyes, his eyes revealed murderous intent.
Lu Haici was stunned: "The child is not yours?"
Ji Yang said, "I cherish her and love her. How could I do something that would damage her reputation before marriage?" Say it, Ji Yang rushed out without saying a word. His anger was even greater than when Lu Haici came. He even wanted to take a knife and kill that bastard. However, he used great rationality to restrain himself. The most important thing for him now was to comfort Xiaobao and accompany Xiaobao. After such a thing happened, she must be even more sad. Ji Yang was even worried that Xiaobao would do something stupid.
However, Ji Yang had only run a few steps when he bumped into Lu Xiaobao who was running towards him.
"Xiaobao..." Ji Yang went over and hugged her in his arms, "Don't be afraid, everything is over. Let's get married, and I will treat the child as my own."
Lu Xiaobao: “…” She poked his back, “That…that…”
"Lu Xiaobao..." Lu Haici walked over from behind Ji Yang with a dark face, "Do you have a brain? Can you joke about this?" Lu Haici recalled what happened and thought about the tone of his sister when she talked about it. It didn't sound like she was... that, so he concluded that his sister was joking. This girl has been lawless since she was a child, so it's not surprising that she would make such a joke.
"I... I'm afraid you'll be upset if I suddenly tell you that brother Ji Yang and I are in love, so I'll surprise you first to pave the way." Lu Xiaobao had just been scolded by her parents and couldn't even raise her head. Now seeing her brother's gloomy face, she was even more afraid.
"Is this how you lay the groundwork?" Lu Haici wanted to grab his sister and spank her.
Lu Xiaobao shrank in Ji Yang's arms and said nothing.
Ji Yang patted her on the back and said to Lu Haici: "Forget it, she is young and naive, don't be angry, it's a good thing it was just a joke, otherwise the consequences would be more serious, right?"
Lu Haici: "She is young and ignorant?" He asked with gritted teeth.
Ji Yang asked with a smile: "Isn't it? That's what you said."
Lu Haici recalled what they had said before. It was not long ago, but some time ago, Ji Yang asked him if Xiaobao had a boyfriend. What did he say at that time? Oh, he said that Xiaobao was still young and immature, so it was too early for him to find a boyfriend.
Thinking about it now, Lu Haici wishes time could go back so he could sew his mouth shut.
"Brother, I was wrong, please forgive me." Lu Xiaobao also knew how to read people's faces. Seeing that her brother's face became even worse after Ji Yang said that, she immediately gave in and pinched Ji Yang's waist to tell him to shut up. Otherwise, if she angered her brother, things would be bad.
"I was wrong." Lu Haici left this sentence and left without looking back.
Lu Xiaobao and Ji Yang looked at each other, and Ji Yang said, "You go and coax him, I will pay a formal visit tomorrow."
"Yeah, yeah." Lu Xiaobao hurriedly chased after him. Fortunately, her brother didn't go far. Lu Xiaobao took a few steps forward, rushed up from behind, and hugged her brother, "Brother, I'm sorry, it's my fault."
Lu Haici pulled her off him and continued walking forward.
Lu Xiaobao chased after him again, grabbed his hand, and hung on him like a koala: "Brother... Brother, don't be angry... Brother... Even if I fall in love and get married, the person I love the most is still you."
"Heh..." Lu Haici replied coldly.
"Brother, what I said is true. I, Lu Xiaobao, swear to heaven that if the one I love most is not you, let me have no food to eat tomorrow." Lu Xiaobao stretched out his hand and swore in a very serious manner.
"Hey..." Lu Haici was really helpless. He reached out and tapped her forehead, "You..."
Seeing her brother like this, Lu Xiaobao finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother, when are you going to find a sister-in-law?"
"What? You still want to meddle in my business?" Lu Haici rolled his eyes at her unhappily.
"No, no." Lu Xiaobao said quickly, "How dare I? I just care about my brother. I hope my beloved brother can be happy forever."
Upon hearing this, Lu Haici curled the corners of his mouth, but quickly pursed his lips again. This girl is too good at sweet talk, he should be more careful.
Ji Yang and Lu Xiaobao's wedding was held in May of the following year. It was a very grand wedding, especially since the people who attended the wedding on the day were all very prominent.
Lu Cheng is in a high position, so it goes without saying that there are many guests from the Lu family. Lu Haici and Ji Yang's company is developing very well, and because it is a security company, the people they do business with are basically people of status. Let's talk about Ji Changfeng. As the father of the male protagonist, it goes without saying that he has a career.
Before Lu Cheng was transferred to the capital, Ji Changfeng was already the head of the regiment. Unlike the independent regiment where Lu Cheng was, the independent regiment only had a head, but Ji Changfeng's regiment was a regular regiment, and he could move up. So it was not surprising that Ji Changfeng was promoted to the head of the regiment before Lu Cheng was transferred.
Later, because Xu Huijuan told Ji Changfeng in a dream that he would die in the battle, Ji Changfeng was very careful and cautious about the mission, so he not only completed it beautifully, but also made greater contributions. From then on, Ji Changfeng rose rapidly. Now, he is a commander. In a few years, he will be awarded the title of general by the country. So when his son got married, the guests who came to the wedding were naturally extraordinary.
Simply put, this was a wedding attended by people from the military, government, and business worlds. The day after the wedding, there was overwhelming coverage of the wedding, which lasted for several days before gradually dying down.
But at that time, Lu Xiaobao and Ji Yang had already gone on their honeymoon.
Lu Haici… also went with them. Ji Yang was not with them, so he stayed at the company, right? So, Lu Haici went traveling alone.
What Lin Qingqing didn't expect was that Lu Haici met her love during that trip.
She is a mature and steady professional woman, and Lu Haici is attracted by her competence and courage.
Unlike Ji Yang and Lu Haici, Qin Ming never married. As he said when he was young, what good is a wife? A man should protect his country, and a wife will affect his speed in killing enemies. However, Grandpa Qin has many descendants, so he did not force this grandson.
Many years later, Qin Ming retired and moved in with Lu Haici and Ji Yang.
The three brothers were just like they were when they were young, taking walks together in the morning, playing cards together after dinner, and going fishing together when they were free. They had a very comfortable life.
