Chapter 1627: Foreign Invitation 3
The most important thing is that Lu Jiang has his own plans in mind.
After separating from Liu Zhenguo, Feng Qingxue furrowed her slender and curved eyebrows, "Xibao was very young when he made his decision. We agreed to his request to let him stay in his hometown and learn with a group of elderly people, but during the sensible growing phase, he wasn’t with his parents and siblings, nor did he attend school normally. With time, will this create a gap between us?"
"Do you think it will?" Lu Jiang replied with a question instead.
Feng Qingxue recalled how Xibao was always affectionate whenever he visited, exchanging two or three letters each month, with no trace of estrangement in his words and actions. Yet, she still felt anxious.
"I don’t know, that’s why I’m asking you."
Lu Jiang held his wife’s hand, indifferent to the astonished gazes of passerby, and comforted her, "I don’t think so, because our Xibao is the best child in the whole world, bar none."
In fact, he had had a man-to-man talk with his son and had asked him this question.
Xibao’s answer was no, because except for the busy farming seasons, his time in the hometown was filled with learning, leaving him no time for other things. He only wanted to learn more knowledge, which was vast as the ocean; he merely glimpsed its corner and had to work harder to eventually apply what he learned and have his own career when he grows up. When dad grows old, it would be his turn to protect mom.
"Dad, for now the responsibility to protect mom is yours. When I grow up, you can retire!" These were Xibao’s original words, with his mother’s position in his heart clearly above everything.
