Chapter 318: Lantern Festival Part
Fu Ling and Lu's mother took the children to the hall, where there were a lot of things, including a pile of bacon and sausages, as well as various nutritional supplements, cakes and candies.
Sanbao's eyes lit up when he saw the candy.
"Mom, I want to eat candy." Lulu said while swallowing.
Normally, Fu Ling rarely buys candy for them, mainly because he is worried that they will get cavities. Now that they have seen it this time, they will not give up unless they give it to him.
"Okay! Each of you can only eat two! The rest are for me. When you grow up and are as big as me, you can eat more. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Two is better than nothing.
After each person got two, Fu Ling gave all the remaining candies to Lu Nianci.
She took it happily: "Thank you, Second Aunt!"
"You're welcome!"
Kong Ci came over at the right time, holding Xiaobao and jokingly said, "Just pamper her!"
"Haha, our Nian Nian is a little angel, so what if I pamper her a little?"
Fu Ling reached out and took Xiaobao: "Oh, our little star is awake!"
Lu Xingze is surrounded by love every day and is not shy at all. He looks at Fu Ling with an angelic smile, which makes Fu Ling melt in love.
"Oh, look at Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, it's so cute! So white and chubby."
"So, do you want to have another child? Maybe a miracle will happen."
Fu Ling decisively refused: "I firmly stick to my principles. Three children are more than enough. I won't consider it at all! Sister-in-law, have you heard that boys are money-eating beasts?"
Kong Ci laughed after hearing this: "Why do you say that?"
"Think about it! When the children grow up, we need to marry them off. We need to prepare a betrothal gift for each of them, and a wedding house, right? Isn't this a money-eating beast?"
"Hahaha... You always have so many twisted theories, but I think they make a lot of sense! Indeed, I now think those who favor sons over daughters are incredibly stupid. Their families aren't well-off to begin with, yet they're desperately trying to have sons. According to you, they're just asking for trouble. Hehe... Fortunately, I like daughters and I only have one son. Look at our Nian Nian, she's so cute and well-behaved."
"Yeah! That's why I envy you!"
"I accept your envy. By the way, are we going to report to school tomorrow?"
"Yeah! When are you going there? Remember to ask Uncle Hong to drive you there."
"I can go in early March, there's no rush."
"Well, I've found out about Wan Ning and Nian Nian's schools. They're not too far from home, only about half an hour's walk. We can definitely ask Uncle Hong to drive them there. We're a bit far away, as the university town is on the other side."
"Yeah! So I plan to stay in the dorm and come back on weekends."
"I think so too. It's too troublesome to come back every day. Even if Uncle Hong picks us up every day, it's still too much trouble. We have to get up too early. So from now on, we can just have Uncle Hong come over on Friday afternoons and pick us up to spend the weekend with us."
"Okay! Then prepare the things in the next few days."
"Sister-in-law, I have already prepared the quilt and toiletries."
"You always think so carefully."
"These things were prepared when we moved in. They're more than enough for us. There's no need to buy them specially."
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"
Several aunts began to bring the dishes over here, each with a smile on their face.
Since arriving at the Lu residence, the five of them have gained several pounds. They have never avoided them when eating, and they always eat and drink together.
There are meat dishes every day, which is much better than the previous employer's.
Although the nanny will not be treated harshly, it is impossible for her to eat at the same table with him. They can only eat in the kitchen, and eat the leftovers after the host has finished eating.
I used to think it was okay, at least I could eat my fill, but now, with comparison, I don’t want to live the same life as before.
So they cherish their present life especially.
They had previously divided the table into two, but Fu Ling felt it was too troublesome, so he bought a table for 16-18 people from Kuaiyimao. Because it was too big, he bought a revolving table.
Although it was common in later generations, they had never seen such a table in that era. Fu Ling made up an excuse and said that he had specially asked someone to customize it.
Today's dishes are very rich and it's as lively as Chinese New Year.
Yuan Chenghua and Uncle Hong are both neighbors and chess friends. Today is a holiday, and Fu Ling took out the plum wine he had brewed.
When Yuan Chenghua saw the wine, his eyes suddenly lit up and he rubbed his hands with a smile on his face.
Fu Ling specifically reminded: "Master, today is a holiday, you and Uncle Hong are allowed to have two more drinks, but only two."
Yuan Chenghua was delighted and agreed immediately to have two drinks.
Fu Ling asked everyone, "Auntie Tian, Auntie Zhao, Auntie Wen, Auntie Sun, would you like some? I brewed this wine myself, and it's made with plums."
Tian Youhua smiled and waved her hands: "I don't drink, so I won't drink. I get dizzy the moment I touch alcohol! It also delays my work."
"Me too, I can't drink much." Aunt Zhao also refused to drink.
Aunt Wen also refused, but Aunt Sun was eager to try: "Can I have some?"
Fu Ling smiled and gave her a glass: "Auntie Sun, I didn't expect you to be able to drink."
"My son works at a winery and would bring some wine back from time to time, asking his father to taste it. But he couldn't tell the difference and always thought all the wines tasted the same. So I tried it and found that my palate was even better than his. I can tell which wines are good and which are not."
"Oh? Aunt Sun has the potential to be a wine taster?"
"What is a sommelier?" Aunt Sun asked, not knowing what a sommelier meant.
"It's about tasting the wine and evaluating it. Someone can take a sip and know what the wine is and how old it is..."
"Oh my God! It's so amazing! I didn't expect there are so many tricks to drinking!" Aunt Sun was stunned. Not only her, but even Yuan Chenghua pricked up his ears to listen.
"Yes! These people are not born so good, they have undergone long-term training. They taste different wines from different years. It is through accumulation over time that they have acquired such skills."
Yuan Chenghua expressed his envy of this profession: "My dear disciple, do you think I have the potential to be a wine taster?"
Fu Ling knew what he was planning and immediately poured cold water on him: "Master, you are too old. First of all, you are not suitable for drinking so much wine. Secondly, you should know that as people get older, their sense of taste and smell gradually deteriorate. If you want to be a wine taster, you must have a keen sense of taste and smell."
Yuan Chenghua hung his head and said, "I was just joking. You, girl, actually attacked me personally."
"Master, I didn't do that. I was just telling the truth. You, you can't trick me into drinking. As long as I'm here, I won't let you drink too much."
Uncle Hong smiled and comforted, "Look, Master Yuan, you're so lucky! You have such a good disciple. Xiao Ling is just concerned about you and worried that drinking too much will be bad for your health."
After hearing this, Yuan Chenghua finally felt something, and said with a smug look on his face: "Of course, this shows that I have good vision! Hahahaha."
