The braised chicken is ready, with green and red chili peppers and vermicelli noodles added to it.
As is the old rule, An An takes the first bite.
After An An "certified" and said "delicious", Wang Qiaoping yelled: "It's time to eat!"
It's rare for the whole family to come back together, and there is a big table of people surrounding them.
Lu Yong's family brought out a bottle of foreign wine and said it was brought from the capital.
I saw Lu Yong's family tearing open the package and twisting it twice. There was a "pop" sound, which startled Lu Wenqi who was standing beside him.
Lu Yongjia poured a glass for everyone.
Lu Wenqi, who was usually a drunkard, acted the fastest at this time, picked it up and took a sip.
"Hey...Boy, what kind of wine is this? Why is it so strong?" He smacked his lips twice: "Well, it doesn't taste good, it doesn't taste good..."
The Lu Yong family looked funny.
"Dad, this is sparkling wine. Foreigners call it champagne. Foreigners drink this when they celebrate. Look, I'm going abroad, and Yongchang is going to join the army. There are so many good things in my family, so of course I have to celebrate.
.”
"Yongchang, do you really want to be a soldier?"
Lu Yongguo heard that Lu Yongchang came home to discuss things some time ago.
"Really thought about it?
Aren’t your grades okay? It’s okay to go to a junior college, so why are you going to be a soldier?”
In fact, Lu Yongguo's grades were pretty good at that time, but he didn't go to college for some reasons, which has always been a regret in his heart.
Later, he farmed, drove a car, and worked as a security guard...
Times have changed now, so he naturally feels that there is no need for his brothers to follow his old path.
"You don't have to worry about money. Your family's conditions are much better now. Are you still worried that you can't afford to be a student?"
But Lu Yongchang had different ideas.
"Brother, I'm not good at studying," he said.
"It's because I've been studying hard all day long in the past few years that I managed to achieve this result.
If my family didn't support me, or if I had to do so much work every day like other people, I wouldn't even be able to pass the high school entrance examination.
Just like this, what will happen even if I go to college?
I can never be like my second brother, who gets scholarships every year and goes abroad for exchanges.
But it will be different if I become a soldier. I am a high school student with a little bit of education. If I spend a few years in the army, my future will be better than this."
The third child will always have his own considerations.
In this family, the third child has the biggest ideas.
Wang Qiaoping also took a sip of that "fragrance bottle".
Tsk…
It really doesn’t taste good…
"Tomorrow, let's take a photo as a family," she said.
"Taking photos?"
"Yeah, it's rare for a family to gather together. I took some photos and developed a few more. In a few days, the second brother will go abroad and the third brother will join the army. It's just a thought for them to leave."
Taking pictures is a big deal these days.
The family must get up early and dress neatly.
Even Lu Wenqi, who is usually the most unkempt person, took a ladle of water and smoothed his hair.
An An put on the red dress that her second uncle bought for her, and tied her hair into two small buns with cherry hair ropes.
Then, the whole family got on Dad’s big truck.
Que Yaqian sat in the passenger seat, and the rest of the people sat in the back compartment.
"Hey, sister-in-law of the Lu family, are you going to the city?" I met someone on the road and greeted Wang Qiaoping.
"Yes, isn't this son back? He went into the city to take pictures." Wang Qiaoping responded, the pride on her face could not be concealed.
Lu Yongsheng helped Lu Yongguo crank the truck. As soon as Lu Yongguo stepped on the accelerator, the large truck rumbled like a majestic beast.
The car moved forward, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The two villagers behind him watched the car go far away.
"Look, look." One of them waited for a long time before speaking: "Grandma Wang is so majestic."
"Shouldn't he deserve his majesty? Who in the village can compare with him today? His son is capable, and his brother is so energetic. We can't even envy him."
"That's right. What do you think this Mrs. Wang's fate is?"
Just when the villagers were envious of the Lu family's life, Lu Yongsheng had a bitter look on his face.
Why was it that while he was helping his eldest brother to turn the car, An An was sitting in the arms of his third brother?
Huh, these two people are usually away from home. An An is obviously the closest to him. Now when he comes back, he will rob An An?
Lu Yongsheng is very angry!
"An'an..."
Lu Yongsheng came over.
However, before Lu Yongsheng could say anything, Lu Yongchang turned around very schemingly, blocking the outside with his arms, and pushed Lu Yongsheng away without leaving a trace.
Lu Yongsheng:......
He reluctantly said: "An..."
"Yongsheng, what are you doing? Sit down quickly, the road is so bumpy, what if you fall?"
Lu Yongsheng's words were interrupted again.
"Third brother, what are you..."
"An'an, the road is very dusty. Third uncle, help you cover it. Otherwise, your new dress won't look good if it gets blown up by the dust."
How could Lu Yongchang give Lu Yongsheng a chance to speak?
Of course, An An didn't realize what was going on and nodded obediently.
"good."
The Lu Yong family on the side had a panoramic view of this scene.
childish!
How old are you when you still play these childhood tricks?
"An'an..." Lu Yongjia shouted with a smile.
"Come on, can you let your second uncle hug you? My second uncle hasn't hugged An An for a long time. If he goes abroad, he won't be able to hug her."
"good."
An An was still so well-behaved and climbed directly from the third uncle's arms to the second uncle's arms.
Two people left:???
Lu Yongchang: Just... cut off the beard?
No, second brother, how come you are so bad at studying after just a few years of studying?
Soon we arrived at the photo studio.
These days, taking a photo is not cheap. It costs twenty yuan each, and you have to pay extra for printing another photo.
The photographer asked everyone to find a seat and sit down.
Undoubtedly, the old couple sat in the middle, and then the son and daughter-in-law were arranged in order of eldest and youngest.
Lu Yongguo hugged An An as he should.
But he was slapped by Lu Wenqi.
"Dad, why did you hit me?" Lu Yongguo didn't understand.
"What else are you doing? An An, this little one, what can you take if you hold her like this?"
After Lu Wenqi said this, he snatched An An over without any explanation.
Huh, those brats, those who were snatching away just now thought he didn’t see it?
He just doesn't care about fighting.
What’s the point of riding in a car with your arms in your arms? Of course, taking photos can be recorded longer.
"Okay, look here."
At this time, the cameraman had already adjusted the camera position.
The Lu family all turned around.
"Okay, laugh."
Following the photographer's order, everyone smiled brightly and exaggeratedly.
An An stayed in her grandfather's arms. When she heard the photographer's words, she immediately grinned, revealing her white teeth.
"Click."
A voice rang out, and everyone's smiles were frozen at this moment.
Later, this photo hung on the wall of the Lu family for many, many years.
Many years later, even if the Lu family's life is getting better and better, even if they have countless wealth, An An will still miss this time very much when she sees this photo.
This is the best time, when grandparents are not old, parents are still young, and several uncles are around.
