Chapter 1233: Long Stay at the Old Home 7
Xibao’s streak of good fortune was thus completely validated.
Grandfather Lu’s spirits had been quite low until he kept asking for Xibao, which led to Mr. Lu going to fetch Xibao. However, once Xibao returned, frequently visiting Mr. Lu’s home, the old man’s condition improved.
While it wasn’t as miraculous as dead wood springing to life, the elder gradually ate more, his mood lifted upon seeing Xibao, and naturally, his spirits increased.
A family with an elder is like having a treasure.
Grandfather Lu and Grandmother Lu were part of five generations under one roof, with more than forty descendants. Even if one or two disrespectful grandkids marred the family’s reputation, the vast majority wished for the elders to live long and never pass away.
Therefore, everyone in Grandfather Lu’s household especially welcomed Xibao.
As for their previous avoidance of Lu Zhiyuan due to his wealth and the classification issues after the founding of the country, they claimed it was all slander, not true at all.
In light of this, the number of people who hoped Xibao would stay in Wanglou Brigade kept growing.
Although Mr. Lu also wished for it, he respected his son and daughter-in-law’s wishes, as well as Xibao’s, listening to the little one’s desire to stay home and "study hard and make progress every day," so he sent a letter to his son and daughter-in-law.
But he thought Xibao might just be following a whim.
After all, he was only six or seven years old, had grown up with his parents, and had almost never been away from them for a significant period of time, especially clinging to Feng Qingxue. If it were not for Mr. Lu cajoling and deceiving, he might not have agreed to come back with him.
