Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

Lu Erxiong squinted his eyes in delight as he continued to eat the sweet potato mash, basking in the praise.

So fragrant, and sweet, both sweet and glutinous.

Smelling the aroma, Lu Tianzhi came over, "Hey, Erxiong, you're actually eating alone here, not calling your siblings and brothers."

Lu Erxiong finished the last bite of the large sweet potato and wiped his mouth.

"Cousin Tianzhi, don't wrong me, I was just about to call them to share!" Lu Erxiong then pointed to the cramped kitchen space, "See, see, there's no way all of us can fit in such a small place, isn't it better if I finish eating before asking them to come eat? It won't disturb Brother Ayu and sister-in-law either."

Lu Tianzhi curiously commented, "You're quite articulate, Lu Erxiong, how come you don't like studying?"

Seeing Lu Erxiong frown, he quickly changed the subject, "Alright, I won't talk about it, just run to the main room, the Great General Grandpa Zhou is at our house now, don't you urgently need to serve him tea!"

Lu Erxiong dashed out swiftly.

Guan Yu laughed and asked, "Tianzhi, how many arrived? If there are many and the food Zhou Zhou and I made isn't enough, we can make more, knead more dough, and continue making noodles, one large bowl per person, both convenient and fast."

Lu Tianzhi replied, "Just wanted to tell you it's only Grandpa Zhou and Grandpa Jin who came, no one else."

There are three more than expected, but there's no need to make more noodles, since Zhou Zhou previously made extra for two people while preparing the noodles, to prevent a shortage. She was aware of her family's appetite; the three elders are weak with small appetites, plus we've cooked several dishes, so the noodles would be sufficient, at worst we can eat pancakes, Zhou Zhou thought.

As the elders gathered, savoring peanuts with some small drinks, Zhou Zhou didn't rush to cook the noodles.

Wen Ruyu worried that the young, delicate kids might get hungry, so she said to Lu Tianzhi and the Guan Yu couple, "Cook the noodles first, you mothers and kids eat first, leave some noodles for us to cook after we finish drinking."

Living nearby, he knew that the Lu Family often had the kids cooking, and Father Lu's culinary skills left much to be desired.

The Guan Yu couple looked at Father Lu, seeing him nod slightly, the couple went to the kitchen.

Wang Cuilan took Xibao, Ye Yan, and other kids to sit at another table, waiting for them to finish their noodles, their eyes sleepy, by then the drinks in the elder's cups were barely touched, too busy chatting away.

Cheng Baoguo, having spent a long time in the army, understood the situation and especially bonded with Zhou Fengchun over topic matters.

He learned that former friends and comrades were gradually reinstated at work, Zhou Fengchun was quite pleased, and compared to before, more returning to their positions gave him greater confidence for the future, "A few days ago, I also heard some information from the radio, it seems restoration is imminent! I must live well, only by living can I wait for the day of vindication."

Cheng Baoguo raised his glass to him, "Things are getting better and better, we can afford to wait."

Switching from the serious topics, Wen Ruyu discussed the kids, and Father Lu raised his glass to the three elders, "The kids are young and eager to learn, please bear with them, teach them more things."

"Fubao will learn painting and calligraphy with me, no need to mention that, as for the rest, you decide," Wen Ruyu preferred to teach according to one's aptitude, "Erxiong is obviously interested in the military, you can let little brother Zhou guide him, Ye Yan and Dundun, Zhuangzhuang, you guys come over and answer my question, what do you usually enjoy doing?"
