Chapter 2082: Chapter 2082: Joy in the Lu Family
Meng Yunzheng was stunned, and when he looked up, he saw the Lu family looking excited and joyful, full of festive spirit.
In the crowd, he saw Shu Yu, holding a child in her arms, who apparently is Zhao Xi and Shuyou’s son, Little Huohuo. This little guy is quite young yet bold, facing such lively and loud firecrackers, he appears not scared at all but rather excited, craning his neck to get closer.
Shu Yu held the child steadily in her arms, looking over at him with a smile.
The scene was like a wife and child longing for the return of their beloved at home.
As he thought of this, Shurui eagerly ran over, looking up with admiration and excitement at him, "Brother Meng, hurry and come in, we’ve prepared to give you a warm welcome."
Meng Yunzheng snapped back to reality, thinking about the flashes of thoughts in his mind earlier, he coughed lightly twice unconsciously, and smiled, "You guys are really making it grand."
"Not grand, not grand." Shurui said, as he saw a string of firecrackers end, running over to light another.
Meng Yunzheng, "..." Quite a preparation, huh.
At this time, Shu Yu also came over to his side, with Little Huohuo in her arms, tilting his head curiously examining him.
Only when Meng Yunzheng wanted to reach out to hold him, he immediately turned his head, hugging Shu Yu’s neck, refusing to let go. As soon as he lowered his hand, the little guy would turn back to look at him.
Amidst the noisy firecrackers, a group of people returned to the courtyard, Shu Yu whispered in his ear, "Since the news of you becoming Top Scorer came, our family has been extremely joyful. Knowing it would take some time before you come back, we’ve been planning on how to congratulate and celebrate you. So here are firecrackers and those flower petals that the two little ones prepared. Also, the menu for the welcome feast, my Mother and Grandmother have planned it a long time ago."
Meng Yunzheng chuckled, "They’ve gone through quite the effort."
At some point, the old lady came over to his side, and Meng Yunzheng immediately stretched out his hand to help her walk.
The old lady was delighted, "Not a bit of trouble at all, you becoming Top Scorer is a major happy occasion for the family. This time, we’ll celebrate a little, next time if you become Advanced Scholar, we’ll have a feast, lasting three days and three nights."
Despite her wish to say Meng Yunzheng will surely become the top scorer in the future, she held back, fearing if such talk spreads, others might say the family is too arrogant. What if it creates mental pressure for Yun?
Meng Yunzheng didn’t refuse, "Grandmother’s the decision-maker."
The old lady was even happier, such an outstanding son-in-law belongs to their family.
Amidst the firecracker sounds, the Lu family quickly returned to the flower hall.
The family was having dinner, knowing that Meng Yunzheng and the other three were surely exhausted from the long travel, they decided not to make them wait anymore, simply asking the kitchen to add a few dishes, letting them eat first, leaving the welcome feast for tomorrow, letting them have a good rest today.
While at the Lu family’s side where the family was reuniting, the neighbors had already known the Top Scorer of the Lu family returned.
At this time, it’s usually when everyone returns home, plus the fact that the Lu family had been setting off firecrackers nonstop for half a day, drew people out to see what’s happening.
Thus, within one evening, everyone on Fenghuai Street knew.
The next day, those originally paying attention to the Lu family, upon hearing the news, came bearing gifts to congratulate, making the Lu family extraordinarily lively.
