Chapter 185 - 177: Yearning
Yushu Village.
After listening to Lu Aiguo’s words, Uncle Lu Er sat there, slowly puffing on his smoking pipe with his head bowed, and did not make a sound for a long time.
Next to him, Auntie Lu Er sat on the bench, looking at him hopefully, her mouth moved, but no sound came out. Lu Aiguo wasn’t in a hurry either, so he patiently waited for Uncle Lu Er to make a decision.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
"Fine, I’ll go too," Uncle Lu Er finally lifted his head, "Thinking about it, I’ve worked in this village for dozens of years, and now that I’m old, it’s indeed time to go back and spend time with my grandchildren, to enjoy the happiness of family."
"Old man."
Auntie Lu Er let out a relieved sigh, her face showing an emotional expression. In fact, how could she bear to leave Uncle Lu Er alone in Yushu Village? The couple had been together for almost half a lifetime and had never been separated for too long.
This time, going to Haicheng to help take care of her eldest daughter-in-law and grandson meant that they probably wouldn’t be able to come back in the short term. She had thought about asking the old man to go to Haicheng with her, but she also worried that he might not adapt to suddenly having nothing to do after being so busy all the time, so she hesitated several times and never brought it up.
