Chapter 1214: Chapter 1214: Picking Up Xibao 1

Lu Jiang’s father unloaded the luggage from his back, shoulders, and hands, and embraced his little grandson... ah, no, his precious grandson with open arms. "Aiyo, my Little Xibao, it’s been almost a year since you saw Grandpa, do you miss Grandpa? Grandpa has missed you to death!"

"Grandpa, I missed you to death, too!" Xibao’s mouth was sweet as honey. "I have a younger brother now, I’m not Little Xibao anymore."

"Alright, alright, you’re Big Xibao, but you’re still Grandpa’s precious grandson!"

Xibao’s face lit up with a smile. "Am I Grandpa’s precious one?"

"Of course, Grandpa loves Xibao the most!" It was Xibao who truly allowed Lu Jiang’s father to experience the joy of spoiling his grandchild, which naturally placed him in a special position in his grandfather’s heart.

Xibao was especially excited. "I love Grandpa the most, too!"

Apart from Mom and Dad, Grandpa was his favorite, no question about it; Xibao confidently tapped his own head.

After enough affection between grandfather and grandson, Lu Jiang, who was carrying the bags, finally laughed and said, "Dad, let’s get in the car. We’ll head back now and will arrive home by evening. Qingxue has already asked Aunt Tian to clean the rooms, and the bedding has all been aired out."

Once aboard the car, Xibao snuggled up in Lu Jiang’s father’s lap.

"Grandpa, my brother is sick, Mom is sick, Xibao is so sad." Before Lu Jiang could stop him, Xibao spilled the beans to his grandfather like pouring beans from a bamboo tube. "Mom and Dad haven’t come back for several days, I was so scared!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiang’s father looked seriously at Lu Jiang. "Why didn’t I see any letters from you? Did this happen after they left Guan Cheng?"

"Dad, everything’s fine now!" Lu Jiang didn’t want to tell his father about Zhuangzhuang being critically ill in the hospital, to avoid worrying the elderly man. This was also what Feng Qingxue intended. For them, the fact that Zhuangzhuang was gradually improving was enough.

"Speak!" Lu Jiang’s father didn’t believe his son’s words. Not coming home for several days? He must have been in the hospital.

Facing his stern father, Lu Jiang immediately sat up straight and briefly explained, while omitting the part about Zhuangzhuang being in critical condition.

Sitting in the passenger seat, an irritated Lu Jiang’s father smacked him on the shoulder from behind. "Such a big deal, and you still thought about hiding it from me? Do you think I wouldn’t notice that Zhuangzhuang is frailer than his two brothers when I see the triplets?"

A father knows his son best. Did he really think he couldn’t guess the exact situation concerning Zhuangzhuang without his son telling him?

Xibao clung to Lu Jiang’s father’s hand. "Grandpa, don’t hit Dad, it will hurt me."

"Your dad is disobedient, why do you feel bad for him?" Lu Jiang’s father glared at his son disapprovingly.

Xibao’s eyes darted around. "Grandpa, I feel for you. If you hit Dad, your hand will hurt! Dad’s muscles are really tough. I bit him in anger once and almost broke my teeth!"

What a clever kid!

Zhou Rong thought to himself, no wonder everyone said Xibao was the smartest child. Sometimes when he took Xibao out, the boy was great at organizing military exercises with other children from the family compound who weren’t in school, looking very professional.

Lu Jiang’s father gradually calmed down. "Xibao is the obedient one."

Lu Jiang gave a helpless smile, not daring to turn around for fear his father would see his resigned expression.

A man nearing sixty, and still so fiery, tsk!

These thoughts Lu Jiang kept to himself; if he dared to say them out loud, he would get more than a slap from his father. At mealtime, he called Zhou Rong to stop the car. Everyone made do with dry food and water for lunch before continuing on the journey, paying close attention to Lu Jiang’s father’s condition, noticing that the old man was in good shape and showed no adverse reaction to entering the highland area.
