Chapter 37 Connecting, A Warm and Cozy Family
Mom hurriedly pulled out her phone, saying, "I forgot, I forgot! I haven't told your maternal grandparents' family, or the whole Lu family. Little Si has already received the call."
"I already told them." Dad glanced at Mom. "You selfish wretch, always thinking about your own little things, how can you even think about others?"
"I'm not selfish! Tell me, when have I ever hesitated to spend money on everyone? Who can say I'm bad?" Mom said angrily.
"Dad, you're not right. Mom is simple, innocent, and still has a childlike heart," Lu Chen explained slowly.
"United! United!" Little Sizi fussed around.
"Yes," Dad continued, a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "your mom will always be a child. None of us can share a blanket with her; she always wraps the blanket around herself! When you were little, you'd kick off the covers in the middle of the night, and your mom would just put her own blanket on top of yours, leaving you outside to freeze. Ugh!"
"Dad, can't we leave Sizi with Mom to take care of?" Lu Chen asked with a smile.
"No." Dad put some food on Xiao Sizi's plate. "I have to watch over him."
"Hmph! They were all asleep, how could they have noticed all this? Don't blame me!" Mom's face hardened, but in the blink of an eye, it lit up with smiles again. "Alright, alright, stop talking, I'm going to video chat with your grandma and the others."
Boom! Outside the sky, the people of Wanchao burst into laughter.
Great Qin.
Ying Zheng laughed so hard his beard trembled: "Hahaha! I've never seen such a hilarious family! This warm family makes my heart ache. Indeed, some mothers never grow up."
Suddenly, the image of his mother flashed into his mind—Zhao Ji, who had an affair with Miao Du and had two children with him.
Although he couldn't forgive her, he also understood that his mother was probably a child herself, and that she had been deceived by that treacherous villain, Miao Ai.
Now that the traitor and those two bastards have been eliminated, I should reconcile with my mother, take good care of her, and help her live a happy life again.
Ming dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't stop smiling: "Sister! Not everyone is as virtuous as you! That Mr. Lu is really suffering with such a wife! But that woman is truly lucky. Look at this hotel! It's a hundred times better than our palace! Imagine how good a top-tier modern hotel would be!"
"Of course, that would be an even greater achievement. We can only be fortunate enough to watch. Hopefully, one day, this portal to another dimension will open in the Ming Dynasty."
"Yeah! If the portal to another dimension can be opened, I'll take you with me! And Biao'er and the others too!"
"Zhongba, hearing your words makes me even happier than if I had actually gone there."

"What are you saying? I, Old Zhu, am not one to make empty promises!"
"Yes, I know."
The Great Han.
"This woman from the Lu family is quite charming." Liu Che smiled faintly. "In my harem, only Lady Li has such a refined taste. Does A'jiao count? I suppose so, but she's too domineering. Oh well, she's just willful. Release her tomorrow. I'll just appoint a few more empresses."
"I wonder what Ajiao thinks when she sees the sky?" Liu Che thought to himself as he unconsciously walked towards Ajiao's Changmen Palace.
Datang.
Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun were gratified.
"Seeing that Mrs. Lu has such a good heart, we can rest assured."
"A mother who is beautiful inside and out will definitely not mistreat Sizi."
"The Lu family is a perfect combination!"
"Well, Erlang, there's another thing to worry about. I wonder what kind of wife the young master will marry in the future. If that woman is not kind, I'm afraid Sizi will suffer." Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but frown slightly.
Li Shimin, however, disagreed: "Wrong, that's practically impossible. The Lu family father and son are shrewd and intelligent; why would they allow that kind of woman to come to their door?"
"Yes, Erlang is right." Empress Zhangsun felt that this made sense.
Over here, Mom had already opened her phone, her fingers flying across the chat box marked "family members," and initiated a group video call.
The phone rang twice, and then the screen lit up suddenly, instantly revealing several familiar and excited faces: grandparents, aunts, uncles, and even cousins curiously peering at the edge of the camera.
"Oh my! Let me see! Let me see!" Grandma's voice was loud and urgent, almost shattering the phone screen. "Where is our little granddaughter?"
"Here it is! Here it is!" Mom proudly turned the camera around and aimed it precisely at Xiao Sizi, who was sitting in a high chair with his little mouth stuffed full, chewing on braised pork ribs.
Suddenly surrounded by several unfamiliar faces appearing on the phone screen, Xiao Sizi was startled. Her small body instinctively shrank back, her big eyes filled with curiosity and a little bit of helplessness.
With meat in her mouth, she mumbled an indistinct "Hmm?" and forgot to chew, staring blankly at the several magical little cubes on the screen that contained people.
"Oh my goodness!" Grandma slapped her thigh excitedly on the other end of the screen, her eyes instantly welling up with tears. "This—this child is so handsome! He looks like a little fairy from a painting! Look at those big, watery eyes!" She leaned closer to the screen, wishing she could jump right in. "My sweet baby, call me Grandma!"
Grandpa nodded repeatedly, beaming from ear to ear: "Good, good! What a blessing! The little baby is so adorable!"
The aunt exclaimed even more dramatically, "Wow! She's so adorable! Look at her skin! So smooth and supple! Her eyes are like black grapes! Li Qiu! You've really hit the jackpot!"
My uncle and aunt greeted me warmly: "Hey! Little niece! It's your uncle!"
"I'm your aunt!"
"Come back to Grandma Shui's house to play!"
My older cousins chimed in, exclaiming, "The little girl is so cute!"
"Little sister, look here!"
"What's your little sister's name?"
Faced with this sudden, enthusiastic "onlooker" and a barrage of questions, Xiao Sizi was completely bewildered. She subconsciously turned to look at her most trusted brother, Lu Chen, her eyes pleading for help.
Lu Chen quickly moved closer to the camera, smiling to defuse the situation: "Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt and Uncle, and cousins, hello everyone!"
This is Sizi. She's still a little dazed.
"What? This child's name is Sizi?" Grandma's loud voice made the screen shake.
"Yes, we named her Lu Si," Mom explained.
"What? Why did you choose such a name?" Grandma's voice was so loud it almost shattered the screen.
"No way! That's terrible! Don't call him Lu Si anymore. It sounds awful no matter how you say it. Traffic accident, idiot, clueless, good-for-nothing—aren't they all related to the number '4'? Change it quickly!" Grandma firmly objected.
"I agree, it's not very good either," the old man chimed in.
"Yes, Li Qiu, brother-in-law, although our family knows what this name means, it doesn't mean others will understand. Shouldn't we change it to something easier to hear and recognize?" Auntie said in a consultative tone.
"Old Lu, what do you think we should do?" Mom was at a loss.
After thinking it over, Dad concluded that Grandma's family's opinion represented the general public's opinion.
The word "curse" is easily misunderstood in rural areas, so let's change it.
So, Mr. Lu said, "Okay, let's reconsider this."
Lu Chen, who was standing nearby, had a sudden inspiration and said, "How about we rename Xiao Sizi 'Lu Yang'?"
"Well, my name is Jingyang..." Little Sizi said in a moment of joy.
