Chapter 423: Upbringing

In the white snow, a red plum stands steeply against the snow.
Lu Jianxin held a cup of hot white Maogen soup and sat in front of the window, his eyes slid from the blooming red plum branches to the two of Lu Yan and Lin Jinrong who were welcoming the snow outside the curtain. The two shared an umbrella. Lu Yan moved forward half a step forward, with a leisurely mind, while Lin Jinrong stepped back half a step, with graceful appearance and incomparable coordination in his actions.
Really young, Lu Jianxin sighed inaudibly, and moved his lower limbs that were very uncomfortable due to gout with difficulty. Thinking about that matter, he was rather impatient. Behind him came the laughter of Lin Yuzhen and Yi Lang. He looked back, but saw Lin Yuzhen kneeling on the couch, and the little Yi Lang sitting opposite her. The grandfather and grandson were playing the rope.
Dou'er sat with Yi Lang half-length sideways, and patiently taught him how to solve it with a smile. After Yi Lang was young, how could he understand this? I was impatient with two fat paws. She pulled Lin Yuzhen's stretched string into a mess, and then stretched out her hand for candy.
Lin Yuzhen refused to give it herself: "Thinking about sweets all the time, that won't work."
Yi Lang rubbed his head in her arms. After a few rubs, Lin Yuzhen lost to the enemy, so she had to say, "Just give half a grain."
Lu Jianxin frowned slightly: "Too much spoiling! Where can I teach boys how to turn rope? Not to mention always remember to eat candy. Don't give it!"
Yi Lang heard his bad voice and didn't cry. He only put his small body in Lin Yuzhen's arms, turned his head to look at his expression secretly, his eyes flickered, and he looked smart and cute.
When Lu Jianxin saw Yi Lang's appearance, he still liked it, but he still sternly said: "It's not young anymore, I'm already three years old, so I hide in a woman's arms whenever something happens. What does it look like? I want to go early. Enlighten him, don't miss my major events."
Although Yi Lang didn't understand what he was talking about, he also knew that his grandfather didn't like him like this. There was a little fear in his eyes, and he pressed closer to Lin Yuzhen.
"I missed your important matter?" Lin Yuzhen was extremely dissatisfied: "It is said that you are holding your grandson or not. It's better for you. You have to take care of your grandson so young. What are you going to do? Kaimeng? Can he get the pen?
Lu Jianxin said slowly: "I didn't say now. I told my wife that boys can't be brought up like this!"
Lin Yuzhen looked at the Aunt He and others who were standing by, although she knew he was upset. But he couldn't help but get annoyed: "Unexplainable."
Xiaoxing and Arou immediately lowered their heads to pretend that they are air, and Aunt He smiled: "Master and his wife, don't say a few words, it's all for the sake of Master Sun."
What happened to Qian Qing? Lin Yuzhen glanced at her contemptuously, turned her head in disdain, and handed a piece of candy to Yi Lang: "Good grandson. Grandma gave it to you."
Lu Jianxin said: "No eating!"
Yi Lang pinched the candy and looked left and right. Suddenly handed the sugar to Lu Jianxin, the milk sounded and said, "Grandfather eat it."
Lu Jianxin was startled, neither did he answer, nor did he not answer. Faintly said: "I won't eat."
Yi Lang didn't dare to put that sugar into his mouth, he just turned his head and looked at Lin Yuzhen blankly. A small face was full of pitiful bullies. Seeing Lin Yuzhen's face was also stern, she was somewhat helpless and afraid. Lin Yuzhen was so soft-hearted by him, the expression on her face loosened from the origin, caressed his back lightly, and her voice softened: "Look, although he is young, he doesn't understand anything. I'll eat it for you."
Auntie He missed the opportunity to praise: "Master Sun is really smart, pure and filial. It will become a great weapon in the future!"
Lu Jianxin couldn't help but curled the corners of his lips: "People are big and small, and there are many thieves, and I don't know who they are like!" he said. One side glanced outside the curtain.
Lin Jinrong and Lu Yan listened to their tails outside the curtain, although they did not know the specific reason. But he also knew that Lu Jianxin was disciplining Yilang. He was a big man and had many thieves, and he was talking about Lin Jinrong. Lin Jinrong winked with Lu Yan, and stood outside the curtain, waiting for the girl to tell her.
Lu Jianxin took the soup in his hand and said solemnly: "Come in."
As soon as Lin Jinrong and Lu Yan entered, Yi Lang became excited, earning money in Lin Yuzhen's arms, and yelled crisply: "Father, mother." Seeing Lu Jianxin frowned, he sat down again. Peeping at Lu Jianxin's face from the corner of his eyes.
Lu Jianxin waited for Lu Yan and his wife to salute him and Lin Yuzhen, and Fang sternly taught him: "I don't want to say more about you, but this child is not young and can't always be spoiled. It is time to teach.
Lu Yan stood with his hands together, and replied, "Yes."
Lin Jinrong lowered his eyes and responded, but in his heart he didn't care. He only felt that Lu Jianxin was too pretentious and harsh to a child under two.
Seeing that both of them had a good attitude, Lu Jianxin pressed the matter and said, "Sit down."
So Lu Yan sat down with Lu Jianxin, while Lin Jinrong went to Lin Yuzhen and asked Yi Lang who was throwing in her arms softly: "Is Yi Lang naughty? Did you listen to what his grandparents said?"
Yi Lang glanced at Lu Jianxin timidly, opened his palm, and showed Lin Jinrong the sugar in his palm thiefly. Lin Jinrong knew what had happened just now, so he wrapped the candy in a kerchief for him, and said with a smile: "I'm going to eat, how about eating at a different time?"
Although she loves Yi Lang, she is always the same. Over time, Yi Lang also knows that she cannot bargain here. Although she was very reluctant, she didn't dare to make trouble. He watched reluctantly as Dou'er collected the sugar, quietly lying in Lin Jinrong's arms and listening to the adult.
Lu Jianxin asked Lu Yan: "I heard that you went to see your third uncle earlier. He is better? I wanted to see him, but I was so gout that I couldn't walk."
Lu Yan hurriedly said: "In response to his father, the third uncle just felt cold outside. He asked me to greet his father for him and ask him to have a good life."
Lu Jianxin was more generous in this respect than Lin Yuzhen, nodded when he heard the words, and seriously instructed Lu Yan: "Your sixth brother is not at home. If your third aunt is a woman, you can go and see more. , Hugh will be negligent. Although it is a minor illness, it must be carefully treated."
Lu Yan's face showed some gratitude: "Father is right. My son asked someone to find out a few remedies for gout a few days ago, and he has already been asked to do it. When it's done, father can try it, and maybe it can alleviate it. Got this pain."
Lu Jianxin wanted this attitude, but he didn't show any special expressions. He just nodded lightly, and then asked Lin Jinrong, "I heard that your uncle is also sick?"
Lin Jinrong got up and replied: "Yes."
Lu Jianxin said: "Make people prepare a generous gift to see, don't lose the courtesy." That's it, Lin Jinrong and Lu Yan both consciously did not mention other topics.
When it got dark, Auntie He swiftly led the girls to palm up the lamps in them, changed the charcoal basin, and asked Lin Yuzhen: "Madam, are you going to have dinner?"
Lin Yuzhen nodded reservedly. Lin Jinrong hurriedly handed Yi Lang to Dou'er, got up to wash his hands and set the meal, and waited for him to eat. After tossing for a long time, it was finally easy to clean up, Lu Jianxin did not let anyone go, leaving Lu Yan to speak.
Seeing Yi Lang drowsy, Lin Jinrong was afraid that he fell asleep and was blown out by the wind and caught a cold, so he informed Lin Yuzhen and took Yi Lang back first.
It took more than half an hour before Lu Yan came back from the snow, took the hot tea handed by Lin Jinrong, held it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Teach me how to live a life."
Every time Lu Jianxin does something, he always has a good-sounding reason, and then he naturally leads the other person into the hole. Lin Jinrong smiles slightly, and listens to what is going on.
Sure enough, Lu Yan continued: "Then I asked Wu Xiang, and asked me if Wu Xiang still had contact with each other on weekdays. Let me write a letter to ask about the Mei Baoqing fleet. Everyone can't wait."
Mei Baoqing’s fleet was formed last spring. It didn’t take long before he arranged to go out to sea. He said it was the first trip. He didn’t plan to go too far. He planned to come back in the fall of that year, but he missed the return date at that time. Return. Lu Jianzhong once asked the root cause, and the answer he gave was don't rush, he will always come back sooner or later. But this is the spring of the second year, and there is still no sign of it, so why not make people worry?
The old lady Lu spent too much money when he died, and the old lady deducted a large sum for funeral expenses. The Lu family's foundation was not as rich as before. Once the family is divided, the financial resources that were originally twisted into one unit are divided into three, which is much weaker. The long house and the third house are mainly farms at any rate, and they all invest in floating wealth, which should not have too much influence. Unfortunately, bad luck. In a disaster year, the harvest in the fields was almost gone. The situation in the second room is even more serious. It was mainly based on doing business to make a living. At first, it was squeezed by Lu Jianxin and Lu Jian. It was hoped that the business turned over and collected a lot of money, but the money was delayed. As a result, the flow of funds is inconvenient, and everything is tight, and I am very anxious.
Compared with Lu Jianzhong’s anxiety and anxiety, Lu Jianxin was determined from the beginning, and gradually began to worry and doubt, wondering if Mei Bao had messed up with something, so he thought about it again and wanted to inquire about this kind of thing. Is it the most suitable person to ask? It would be more appropriate to leave this to Lu Yan to do.
Lin Jinrong walked to the table to light up the candles for Lu Yan, researching ink and spreading the paper: "The third brother wrote a letter to Wu Xiang. Wu Xiang said that this kind of situation is very common. It depends on the wind and luck. No one can predict the return date. That's why it is said that waiting on the shore, although it is less profitable, it is truly safe."
Thinking of Lu Jianxin's temperament and temper, Lu Yan smiled bitterly: "I can't say this, right? This letter has to be written carefully, and it will be considered bad after Wu Xiang replies."
Lin Jinrong smiled: "I didn't tell you not to write, you see, the pen and ink are ready."
Lu Yan picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Wu Xiang on the white snowflakes outside the window and the red and lively charcoal fire in the house. Lin Jinrong quietly watched Lu Yan's writing at his desk, and walked forward and hugged his waist from behind him and pressed his face to his back. Lu Yan carefully closed the words he was writing, put the pen in place, held her hand on his waist, turned back and whispered: "What's the matter?"
Lin Jinrong hugged him tighter and whispered: "It's nothing. Tomorrow I want to see the third brother, you find a way to accompany me out."
Lu Yan said: "Ok... the transition chapter is really hard to write...
Swear, there must be more changes today... (to be continued) RQ
