Chapter 308 Full-time Babysitter
After Lu Yuanqing tossed the letter to Lu Mingdong, he focused on teasing the three little brats beside him.
“Oh my darling Mumu, look how perfunctory your father is in choosing a name, Mumu, Mumu, it doesn’t even sound very smart.”
"I'm smart, but Mumu is the smartest."
"My brother is smart."
Lu Yuanqing watched with amusement as they blushed and refuted him.
As Lu Mingdong opened the letter, he defended himself, saying, "I was perfunctory in choosing names? Mumu, Linlin, Sensen, they sound so nice, and it's obvious at a glance that they are brothers and sisters."
"Besides, speaking of being perfunctory, aren't our names perfunctory too? East, South, West, North, Center, people know it's to confirm we're brothers and sisters, but if they didn't, they'd think my parents used to love playing cards."
“Hey, this pot doesn’t belong to your parents, it was named by your grandparents.” Lu Yuanqing couldn’t stop laughing.
Yes, I suddenly realized that being careless in naming seems to be somewhat hereditary.
“Why doesn’t your fourth uncle do that?” Lu Yuanqing retorted.
Lu Mingdong shrugged. "How should I know? Besides... Ah! It really is going to recover."
Lu Mingdong's sudden scream made Lu Yuanqing look over instinctively.
He held up the letter in his hand and said incredulously, "Lu Mingxi said that the college entrance examination is really going to be reinstated."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanqing got up, took the letter, and began to read it.
Lu Mingdong still had an excited expression on his face.
He rarely showed such emotional side, so one can imagine how shocked he was by the news in the letter.
How could I not be shocked?
Children who have never experienced academic hardship since childhood are saddened by the cancellation of the college entrance examination.
Lu Mingdong did not think the village was bad.
There are Lu Yuanqing, Cheng Xia, and so many family members in the village.
After graduating from high school, even though he felt regretful that he couldn't go to university or visit other cities, he gradually got used to life in the village.
She went to work at a bamboo ware factory every day, got married, and had three lovely children.
He felt happy.
His unwavering commitment to learning from Xie Long and the others year after year is perhaps the only thing he truly holds onto.
When Lu Yuanqing told him that the college entrance examination might be reinstated and asked him to tutor Cheng Xia, Lu Mingdong was full of anticipation because he trusted Lu Yuanqing deeply.
But when he actually received the news that the college entrance examination would be reinstated, Lu Mingdong realized that his happiness was far more than anything else.
Lu Yuanqing quickly read Lu Mingxi's letter. The letter said that a symposium on science and education had been held, and many scientists and scholars were invited to participate. The head of the Wei family also attended. The letter mentioned that the discussion at the meeting was very heated because of the topic of college admissions.
In his letter, Lu Mingxi excitedly said that Lu Yuanqing's guess was correct, and the Ministry of Education might hold a meeting on this topic soon.
Therefore, there is a high probability that the college entrance examination will be reinstated.
"Great, that's wonderful! It's finally going to recover!" Lu Yuanqing said excitedly.
Damn it, after the college entrance exam comes the reform and opening up, he needs to make money, he needs to support himself in his old age.
Cheng Xia had just finished cleaning the fish and returned to the main room when she saw the two of them like this.
"What's wrong? What's going to be restored?"
Lu Mingdong snatched the letter from Lu Yuanqing's hand and handed it to Cheng Xia, saying, "The college entrance examination is going to be reinstated."
By this time, he had managed to stabilize himself.
He was certain he would pass the exam once he recovered; he had never given up on his studies.
It's time for Cheng Xia to take this seriously; the child has distracted her too much.
Cheng Xia smiled as she accepted the letter, and then heard Lu Mingdong's words; the smile remained etched on her face.
what?
Has the college entrance examination been reinstated?
Cheng Xia suddenly lowered her head and read the contents of the letter word by word, as if she was worried that she had missed something.
"Since the meeting has been held, the possibility of resuming the college entrance examination is very high," Cheng Xia said excitedly.
"I need to study! I need to study!"
Lu Mingdong was very pleased that she said that.
Since Cheng Xia needs to review, then...
Lu Mingdong glanced at the three laughing children, then calmly looked at Lu Yuanqing.
Lu Yuanqing: "..." That look gave him a bad feeling.
……
Cheng Xia began to take her review seriously.
Even though he was very reluctant to part with his children, Lu Mingdong insisted on taking the three children back to the Lu family home so that she could focus on her studies.
During the day, the children stayed at the Lu family's house, leaving Cheng Xia with a quiet environment.
Cheng He naturally followed his grandchildren.
After dinner, they took them back to the Cheng family home to sleep.
Lu Yuanqing: "..."
It was quite sudden...
Older children like to play with other older children, and younger children like to play with other younger children.
Lu Yuanbo's three children also live in the Lu family.
Now there are six kids.
Mumu and Tuantuan are close in age and have reached the age where they can run and jump. Naturally, they leave their younger siblings behind and play everywhere.
As for the remaining four children, Lu Yuanqing could handle them easily.
As long as he doesn't cry, he can barely tolerate the screams of his four children playing around, screams that could shake the roof off his house.
He was clever; he simply laid out a thick blanket that was rarely used in the house on the floor, and then arranged all the toys on the blanket.
These toys were collected starting from the time when Lu Mingbei and his friends were around.
Once they started playing with their toys, the crying and fussing for their mothers naturally decreased, and Lu Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief as she sat on the stool and watched them.
Every time Lu Mingnan saw this scene, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Lu Yuanqing was bored when he bumped into him. He then asked thoughtfully, "What, now that you know your sister-in-law Cheng Xia is studying, you didn't inform any of anyone?"
"Or perhaps you already notified certain people, and I just didn't know?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingnan's ears turned red.
"Uncle Three..."
Lu Yuanqing snorted and said, "You got away with it last time, but not this time. You come here right now."
Lu Mingnan: "Third Uncle..."
“Calling me Third Aunt won’t help.” Lu Yuanqing waved his hand and said, “Tell me about your situation with that Liu Zhiqing.”
Lu Mingnan curled his lips and said, "Third Aunt!"
Lu Yuanqing's eyes widened, and he casually slapped him.
"Ah!" Lu Mingnan exclaimed dramatically, clutching his forehead, "But you can't be violent in front of Mu Mu and the others, Third Uncle!"
Lu Yuanqing glanced subconsciously at the few little ones playing noisily on the blanket.
They were so engrossed in their game that they didn't notice anything happening here.
Lu Yuanqing turned his head back and silently looked at Lu Mingnan.
Lu Mingnan smiled ingratiatingly, "Hehe! Third Uncle!"
What an idiot!
Lu Yuanqing covered his face, unable to bear to look.
"Just tell me, what do you think of Liu, the educated youth, and what do you think of him? If you both feel the same way, then invite him home for a meal. What are you hesitating about, you grown man!"
He was worried that Cheng Ruolan's situation would make him lose his temper!
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better.
How could Lu Yuanqing not be happy?
