Chapter 1030: Chapter 1030: Returning to My Mother’s Home 9

Xibao was standing on a chair trying to hold the radio on the counter, which frightened Father Lu so much that he hurried over to remove the radio in advance.

"Xibao!" Feng Qingxue scolded him with a smack on his rear end, "Do you know how dangerous that is? It’s a minor issue if the radio gets broken from falling, but what if it hits you? Uncle Grandpa said you are a lucky star, but I think you’re more like a little troublemaker!"

Xibao turned around, holding his bottom, with an innocent face on display.

"It’s Grandpa’s radio, Dad said it was bought for Grandpa. I’ll bring it to Grandpa, so that Golden Grandpa can find the little sister inside!" he argued with righteous indignation, "I’m big now. I have a lot of strength, I can do work."

Upon hearing this, Father Lu’s anger dissipated in an instant, "Right, Xibao could handle it, he helped me carry the hoe today."

Xibao looked at Feng Qingxue with a look that practically screamed for praise.

Feng Qingxue, extremely frustrated, ended up laughing, and gestured to show the height difference between him and herself, "See? That’s the difference. You are a child. You’ve even admitted you’re a child. Children shouldn’t take things that only adults should handle, or they might get hurt. It really hurts to break a foot."

"Hurts?" Xibao touched his head.

Watching her son appear confused, Feng Qingxue suddenly realized that Xibao indeed had good fortunes; he had hardly been sick or hurt since he was small, and even though he had been bullied by Qi Gang’s son, Qi Xiang, he never suffered much after that. Probably, he no longer remembered what pain felt like, or if he did, he must have almost completely forgotten by now.

Fubao tugged on Feng Qingxue’s hand, "Mommy, I want to sleep."

"Alright, alright, our Fubao needs to go to bed." Feng Qingxue took care of her daughter, ignoring her mischievous son.

The little rascal jumped down from the chair, urging Father Lu to quickly leave with the radio. He tiptoed out of the room. Feng Qingxue pretended not to see and began washing her daughter’s hands, face, and feet before coaxing her to sleep.

After a busy day, everyone was quite tired. After Lu Jiang came back, they tidied up and went to bed.

The next day, after having a meal at his son’s house, Father Lu hadn’t yet gone to find his third uncle when the third uncle came looking for him.

"Zhiyuan, come over, I have something to tell you." The nonagenarian leaned on his cane, his hair and beard all white, hunched back and bow-legged, his face a web of wrinkles, and not a single tooth in his mouth, giving off an utterly aged appearance as he stood at the entrance of the Lu Family home.

Lu Zhiyuan and Lu Jiang promptly said, "Third Grandpa, please sit inside, whatever it is, we can talk about it in the house."

Lu Jiang helped him enter the house to sit down and called for Feng Qingxue to pour some water.

Lu Third Grandpa squinted his old eyes, observing Feng Qingxue for a good while before complimenting Lu Zhiyuan, "Zhiyuan, back in the day, I felt this child had good fortune, and I never expected my words to really come true."

"Yes, you’re right, Xiaoxue has always been a lucky star for our Lu Family," affirmed Father Lu, never denying it.

"Since you’re all here, I’ll just get straight to the point. The other day I had Single Blind come over to check on the feng shui of our ancestral grave and the fortunes of a few children..." Lu Third Grandpa slowly recounted what Wang Zhengguo had told him in great detail, pausing to breathe after speaking for a while and not forgetting to sip some water to moisten his throat, "Although I’m not sure what Single Blind meant, Ajiang and his wife have to make a trip to Caohu. It’s better to believe it and not need it, than to need it and not believe it."

Without mentioning what Wang Zhengguo had said, Father Lu simply nodded, "Going by what you’ve said, we should indeed go. We’ll definitely make the trip."
