Chapter 1627: 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.

Upon hearing her husband’s recollection, Feng Qingxue’s eyes reddened, her eyes glistening.

"Why didn’t you tell me my dear Xibao is so wonderful?" she immediately complained with words spilling from her pink lips. Feeling it wasn’t enough, she withdrew her hand and gave Lu Jiang’s arm a hard slap. "Among our five children, we once neglected Dundun and have neglected Xibao in recent years, allowing him to travel back and forth at such a young age. We as parents haven’t done very well."

Lu Jiang held onto her hand, not letting go.

"No, I don’t think we’ve failed. After seeing so much, I actually think we’re very successful because our five children each have their own traits but are equally lovely, with very good characters. You’ve been busy with work and may not have noticed, but most people educate their children by being harsh on them, especially in the military compound, where no boy hasn’t been beaten up a few times."

Feng Qingxue frowned, "Is that the case?"

Unless Erxiong was being extremely naughty, she wouldn’t lay a finger on the children.

Educating children has never been about just beating them to make them good; sometimes, it can even trigger rebelliousness. But admittedly, sometimes a beating can be useful in teaching a child a lesson.

"We shouldn’t meddle in other people’s matters; we just need to take good care of our own children."

The greatest joyful affairs in life aren’t achieving fame and success but having such a wife and loving children like these, with dense laughter in Lu Jiang’s eyes, revealing his clearly visible pride.

After Lu Jiang’s explanation, Feng Qingxue’s frown eased somewhat, "Right, you mentioned we would live together in a few years?"

"Yes, at most three or four years. After two years, we’ll send third uncle, third aunt, and a few kids back to the hometown, then bring them back after the new year. From then on, our family will never be separated again."

Feng Qingxue’s heart skipped a beat, remembering the Tang City earthquake.
