Chapter 298 Five big bowls, isn't that a bit too much?
So it turns out, retribution isn't absent, it's just that the time hasn't come yet...
Fourth Brother's girlfriend won't appear anytime soon; it'll have to be a few more years.
Fourth Brother is destined to marry late.
However, Fourth Brother's relationship with his girlfriend hasn't experienced many ups and downs; it's the kind of relationship that's stable and long-lasting.
Sometimes, a simple and ordinary life is a kind of truth.
The Lu family members all nodded in agreement: Ah... indeed.
Lu Yining glanced at Lu Yubai and said in a clear voice, "Let's wait another five years. Fourth Brother, you'll definitely find a girlfriend in five years."
Grandpa Lu was very satisfied: "Xiao Bai, I'll give you another five years. Remember to bring your girlfriend home after five years, okay?"
Lu Yubai: Should I thank you?
……
At the dinner table, Mu Linglan kept putting sea cucumber, abalone, and leeks on Ji Shiyan's plate, which were basically all nourishing foods.
Sea cucumber and abalone were the most frequently picked items.
"Shiyan, eat more. You can get more if you're not full. We made a lot today, and there's still a big pot in the kitchen."
"Maybe when you get home later, I can scoop out a bowl of sea cucumber soup for you to take home and enjoy slowly."
Upon hearing this, Ji Shiyan forced a few laughs, but dared not refuse her kindness. He could only nod and say to Mu Linglan, "Thank you, Auntie."
"No need~"
Mu Linglan waved one hand forward, looking like she understood. She was young and needed to take good care of herself.
She will protect her daughter's happiness!
"Look at your soup, you've almost drunk the bottom of the bowl. Have another bowl later!"
"Today, I'll have five big bowls! Eat and drink my fill before going home!"
Ji Shiyan was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head.
"Five large bowls, isn't that a bit too much?"
This isn't how you do it, is it?
His future mother-in-law really isn't afraid he'll get a nosebleed...
"But no, no."
Mu Linglan waved her hand.
"You don't need to be afraid. Auntie added medicinal herbs such as Solomon's seal, sand ginseng, and lily bulb to reduce noise."
"Even if you drink five bowls, you won't get so agitated that you get a nosebleed."
Ji Shiyan: ∑(??д??lll)
She knew how nutritious sea cucumbers were.
Even though the soup contained Solomon's seal, sand ginseng, and lily bulbs, he still couldn't drink five large bowls of it.
[That's right! Give Shi Yan more to drink!]
[Oh, and my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother, they need to take better care of themselves too, especially my eldest and second brothers, they're always working overtime and staying up late, they'll get kidney deficiency sooner or later.]
For the sake of their sisters-in-law's "happiness," the two of them had to drink more.
Li Manrong's face flushed instantly, and she abruptly withdrew her hand as if she had touched something burning hot. The embarrassment on her face, however, did not diminish; instead, it grew stronger.
Although Zhao Yunlin's face showed a hint of shyness, it was mostly one of approval.
A man's prime is already short, and now he has to work overtime and stay up late. If this continues, it's highly likely that his virility will be completely gone this year, not even two years from now.
It's good to give him more nourishment; it'll benefit his health.
It's also good for her.
Mu Linglan, being an experienced person, could guess some things from her expression.
She gave Lu Shiwen a meaningful look. It seems that her second son is no good.
It's her fault as a mother; she rarely makes nourishing soups for them, which is why...
Hey……
But it's okay!
There's still a chance to save it!
"Today, the eldest, second eldest, third eldest, fourth eldest, and Shi Yan all have to drink five bowls of sea cucumber soup. You are not allowed to leave until you finish them."
Five bowls of sea cucumber soup should last for about half a month.
Upon hearing this, a chorus of groans erupted at the dinner table. "It's New Year's already, can't we just stop doing this?"
Only Fu Yaxuan seemed restless, his hand holding the chopsticks twitching.
Why didn't anyone make him drink the sea cucumber soup?
Doesn't he deserve it?
Give him a few bowls too!
……
After the meal, everyone sat in the living room, and Grandpa Lu happily handed out red envelopes to several of the younger generation.
The festive red streaks of light streaked across the sky.
"Manrong, here's your red envelope. Here, take it."
Li Manrong seemed surprised to receive a red envelope at her age, a look of astonishment flashing across her face. After a moment, once the surprise subsided, a look of delight returned to her expression.
Zhao Yunlin said obediently, "Thank you, Grandpa. I wish you boundless happiness, longevity, and good health."
After she finished speaking, she reached out and took the red envelope that Grandpa Lu handed to her.
She gently squeezed the red envelope in her hand, feeling its weight, wondering how much RMB the old man had put inside.
The red envelope was bulging and heavy, giving it a substantial feel when held.
Next was Lu Yunchen.
Grandpa Lu walked up to him: "Here you go, good luck, this red envelope is for you. In the new year, you need to be more sensible and marry a wife soon, good luck!"
As he spoke, Old Master Lu kept glancing at Li Manrong with winks and gesturing frantically to Lu Yunchen.
Li Manrong was already shy, and upon hearing this, her face turned even redder, like a boiled egg.
Feeling the gazes around her, she lowered her head shyly.
She looked helplessly at Lu Yunchen, her eyes conveying the message: "Hurry up and deal with this, I really can't handle it."
Seeing this, Lu Yunchen smiled indulgently, then turned to the old master Lu and said, "Alright, I'll do it as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Li Manrong forgot all about being shy and glared fiercely at Lu Yunchen. She probably would have punched him a couple of times if the rest of the Lu family hadn't been there.
"Good, good, good, good." Old Master Lu laughed even more heartily.
Then he started handing out red envelopes to Zhao Yunlin, Lu Shiwen, Fu Yaxuan, Lu Yunjie, and Lu Yubai.
When they arrived at Lu Yining's place, Grandpa Lu gave her two heavy red envelopes.
"Come on, Ningning, these two red envelopes are for you. Grandpa has no other wish but that Ningning will live a peaceful and smooth life."
"Thank you, Grandpa." Lu Yining stood up and solemnly accepted the red envelope: "Ningning also hopes that Grandpa can live to be a hundred years old and stay by Ningning's side forever and ever~"
Old Master Lu's eyes were slightly moist.
This child, how come his words are so easy to make people shed pearls?
After the tears in his eyes subsided, Grandpa Lu composed himself before speaking, "Alright! Grandpa promises you."
After saying that, he handed the other two red envelopes to Ji Shiyan.
"Shi Yan, Happy New Year. We're entrusting Ningning to you now. Don't you dare bully her. Otherwise, the entire Lu family will make you pay a heavy price."
The warning was ever-present in his words.
