Chapter 1104: Chapter 1103 Nagging 3

Hearing that Feng Qingxue was returning to the military, Grandpa Lu braved the heavy rain, leaning on his walking stick to find her.

"Why not leave Xibao at home?" Grandpa Lu opened with this line, immediately stunning everyone present.

"Leave Xibao at home?" Feng Qingxue had no such intention. Although taking care of two children was indeed exhausting, she couldn’t bear the thought of her children being away from her side, nor did she want them to become so-called ’left-behind’ children. "Grandpa Lu, only heaven can play the role of heaven. It has nothing to do with Xibao, please don’t take Master Dan’s words as the absolute truth."

Grandpa Lu glanced at her, "You tell me not to believe in Dan the Blind, yet you call him ’Master’. How does that make sense? Clearly, you also believe in what Dan the Blind says. There’s no doubt, Xibao is a lucky star."

"Xibao is a lucky star?" Xibao, sitting on Wang Zhengguo’s lap, pointed to his own nose.

"Yes, Xibao, would you like to stay at home and live with grandpa and brother?" Grandpa Lu directed the question straight at the little boy, "Let grandpa take you to ride big horses every day, and we’ll give you any yummy food we have."

Xibao turned his head towards Feng Qingxue, "I’ll stay with mom."

The little guy was clever and knew just what to say.

Grandpa Lu refused to give up, "You’re a big boy now; you don’t need to breastfeed and follow your mom around. You’re living with grandpa every day now, and from now on, you’ll keep living with grandpa."

"Grandpa!" Xibao hopped down and ran into Lu Father’s arms to snuggle, "Stay with grandpa."

"Right, stay with grandpa!" Grandpa Lu’s eyebrows nearly flew up with joy, even resorting to bribery, "Xibao, Great Grandpa is telling you, your mom is already so tired taking care of your sister, and she will have a few more brothers for you later. She can’t manage it all alone, and she’s so busy that she doesn’t even have time to eat. Do you want to stay at home? It would lighten your mom’s load. Everyone at home loves you, and there are so many grandparents, uncles, aunts, and older cousins who all treat you like a treasure. You can do whatever you want; how about that?"

If that was really the treatment Xibao would receive, Feng Qingxue would be even more reluctant to leave her son at home; adults spoiling him too much could easily turn a nice child into a selfish and troublesome one. Her son was well-behaved; she couldn’t let him become a problem child.

No matter how smart Xibao was, he still couldn’t fully grasp Grandpa Lu’s message.

His head swayed with Grandpa Lu’s words, his eyes going in circles, with only one phrase striking a chord in his mind, "Awesome, Xibao is going to be a big brother. Mom will have a little brother for me, and I can play with my brother!"

"Brother!" Fubao was also delighted.

"What’s the use of talking to Xibao about this, he’s still so young." Grandpa Lu felt a bit disheartened, realizing that ultimately, it was up to the adults’ decision. He quickly turned to Lu Father, "Zhiyuan, what do you think? You should persuade Ajiang’s wife too, leaving the child at home is harmless. Those elders who were sent down to the countryside could teach Xibao something casual, and that would be enough for him to benefit for a lifetime. What are the living conditions in the border defense troops? I’ve asked Ajiang, and it definitely can’t compare to our Wanglou Brigade’s living environment."

Lu Father was somewhat tempted.

It wasn’t because he believed whether Xibao was a lucky star or not, but he was concerned about Xibao’s education. He had heard from Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue that the teachers at the border defense troops’ children’s schools were selected knowledgeable youths from their families. Wouldn’t this be a waste of Xibao’s whole life?
