Chapter 244 - 236: Brother Luo
Luo Zhigang, seeing the two earnestly frightened kids opposite him, immediately smiled. His wife was right; he had not considered his approach carefully. He had simply gotten hot-headed and hadn’t expected the other party to be two youngsters. Looking at the kids’ expressions, they must have been quite startled. Luo Zhigang’s heart softened, and his gaze towards Tian Xinhua and Tian Sisi became gentler.
Although he wasn’t in Beijing, he kept in regular touch with the Capital City, so he was very familiar with Yun Mansion’s affairs. The two before him, one was the master’s successor, and the other was the master’s precious pearl – both people he couldn’t afford to slight.
Moreover, he was genuinely grateful to these two kids. If not for them, the master’s health would have been... And even his own parents’ health had improved a lot; this was all thanks to the kids’ efforts, and no amount of gratitude would be excessive.
After chatting with them for a while, Luo Zhigang also introduced his younger son, Luo Jun. Luo Jun was around the same age as Tian Xinhua, a few months younger but looked much sturdier than Tian Xinhua – another spitting image of Luo Datou. It had to be said, Luo Datou’s genes were indeed very strong.
Luo Jun was quite a talkative young man and within a short while, he got along famously with Tian Xinhua. When he found out they were there for a vacation, Luo Jun offered himself as a guide, claiming he had grown up in this area and knew the terrain like the back of his hand; there was no one better suited for the job.
"Great, we’ll trouble Junzi then." Tian Xinhua said without hesitation. Having the Commander’s son as a guide meant they didn’t have to worry about any trouble arising.
Luo Zhigang stayed for just a while before leaving, as there were many matters to attend to at the unit. Even this brief half-day break was squeezed out of a busy schedule. Before leaving, Commander Luo told Tian Xinhua and the others to enjoy themselves and to come to him if they needed anything, and he instructed Luo Jun to be a good guide and not let their guests be mistreated.
The peers quickly became as close as good friends, mainly because their personalities greatly aligned. Plus, with Yun Mansion as a common connection, no one held back, speaking openly and sincerely.
Luo Jun’s eyes sparkled when he learned that Tian Xinhua had driven a jeep over, becoming restless and unable to sit still. Tian Xinhua could easily guess what Luo Jun was thinking and whispered into his ear, "Come with us for fun, and you can drive the car when we’re there."
"Good brother, that’s loyalty!" Luo Jun patted Tian Xinhua’s shoulder heavily.
Tian Sisi pursed her lips; just like that, they were good brothers now. How quickly men’s friendships formed. Tian Sisi sat quietly on the sofa. In the kitchen, Feng Xinya was preparing lunch. Tian Sisi wanted to help, but Feng Xinya had sent her out, so she had to be content being a quiet and gentle lady.
Listening to the two blokes calling each other "brother," Tian Sisi felt quite bored. There were some snacks laid out on the coffee table, some of which she did not recognize. One looked like tofu, a milky-white block cut into long strips, emanating a rich milky scent. It seemed to be the milk tofu commonly seen in Inner Mongolia.
