Chapter 1779: Chapter 1779: Arrangements to Return Home 10

After listening to the couple, Cheng Baoguo’s expression was extremely solemn, "Are you sure?"

Lu Jiang said in a deep voice, "It’s not that we’re sure, but the state has some forecasts, and the possibility of it happening is very high."

Lu Erxiong interjected, "Dad, what is an earthquake?"

"An earthquake is when the ground shakes, the earth’s surface trembles, houses collapse, and ultimately people and livestock are crushed to death, destroying all the structures on the ground. If it hits you, you’ll end up with a bloody head, and it hurts a lot," Fubao quickly explained, her big, bright eyes looking at her parents, "I will go back home with Third Grandpa and Third Grandma. I miss Grandpa and Big Brother, and there’s no need to write letters to Grandpa Wen and Grandpa Jin."

Fubao has an exceptional talent for painting and calligraphy, and she personally loves it. Every month, she sends several letters to people like Wen Ruyu and Jin Ruochu back home. Even when Feng Qingxue is busy at work, she doesn’t have the same perseverance as Fubao.

Feng Qingxue smiled upon hearing this, "Yes, when you go back home, you can study well with Grandpa Jin and Grandpa Wen."

When it comes to the word "study," Lu Erxiong gets a headache, but his eyes dart around, "If I go back home, does that mean I don’t have to go to school? Then I should go home. I want to see the hometown scenery that Big Brother describes to us."

Lu Jiang patted his head, "Not going to school? In your dreams! This semester, forget it. From next semester on, you’ll attend school back home."

Lu Erxiong looked dispirited, but Cheng Baoguo was taken aback, "Does this mean we will be staying home for a long time?"

It’s not that he doesn’t want to go home. In fact, he misses it very much. The Wanglou Brigade is his hometown, his roots, and he has brothers living there all this time. He originally planned to return home with Wang Cuilan once the triplets were a bit older and no longer needed their care. He didn’t expect the impending disaster would hasten this plan.

Lu Jiang nodded and said, "We can’t predict how long this disaster will last or whether the surrounding areas will also experience earthquakes soon. So, I’m asking Third Uncle and Third Aunt to take the kids and stay at home for two years."

Wang Cuilan quickly said, "Of course, of course, natural disasters are the most unpredictable."

Ye Yan asked, "Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, what about me? Should I go back to be with Dad?"

Feng Qingxue hurriedly said, "Your dad is in the army, and Uncle Lu has many tasks to give him. If you stay here, it will divide your dad’s attention and ours. So, you, along with your brother and sister, will go to our hometown. Even when your uncle and I are not around, I want you to watch over Lu Erxiong for me, don’t let him cause mischief up the mountains and down the water."

Ye Yan relaxed and agreed readily.

He has been living with the Lu Family for so long that he has come to treat the brother and sister as his own and doesn’t want to live a lonely, solitary life again. Even though his grandparents have sent letters wanting to take him in, he doesn’t want to go.

Ye Xiangqian also understands the unpredictability of natural disasters and is naturally happy to let his son avoid that. Before Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue send them off on the train, he stuffed a large amount of money and tickets to Cheng Baoguo, and before he could refuse, he said, "The tickets from each province are not interchangeable. These are some national grain tickets and military grain tickets. Uncle, I can’t face you supporting Ye Yan. If you don’t accept them, then I won’t let Ye Yan go with them."

Cheng Baoguo had no choice but to accept them. After all, the child has been with them for so long that they couldn’t bear to leave any of them behind.

Cheng Baoguo and Wang Cuilan are both getting on in years, and Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue are not at ease with the elderly and a group of children. They specifically let Xiaomiao accompany them to safely escort the elders and children home before returning to report back. As for most of the clothes and bedding, they directly packed and mailed them over, so that by the time they arrived home, their belongings should have arrived too.
