Chapter 982: Chapter 982: Joy of the Third Child 3

Lu Jiang spent last night in Jiang Yun’s bedroom with both Jiang Yun and Jiang Zhou, his son. Given the current situation, the men talked late into the night, benefiting greatly from the conversation, which is how Lu Jiang learned about many events in the Capital.

Therefore, after leaving the Jiang Family, he and Feng Qingxue went to visit Wang Xinsheng and his wife.

Among the acquaintances, it was Wang Xinsheng who was in a slightly better situation at the moment, having faced no impact whatsoever.

Wang Xinsheng and Guo Yan were overjoyed, especially Guo Yan, who repeatedly said, "When did you arrive in the Capital? You didn’t even warn us in advance so we could have come to meet you. Where are Xibao and Fubao? Why didn’t you bring the two kids with you?"

The older by several years, Wang Zhonghua ran to the door and quickly came back.

"There’s no Xibao, Grandpa and Grandma, Xibao didn’t come, and neither did Fubao," said Wang Zhonghua, now a big boy, pouting unhappily, "My parents sent me three tin frogs, one for me, one for Xibao, and one for Fubao. I wanted to play with Xibao, but Xibao didn’t come. Auntie, why didn’t you bring Xibao?"

Feng Qingxue handed the things she had brought to Guo Yan and bent down to be at eye level with Wang Zhonghua, "I’m sorry, Huahua, Uncle and I had to run errands, so we couldn’t bring Xibao and Fubao along."

"Would you like to play with Xibao if you come back with Uncle and Auntie to their home?"

Upon hearing Wang Xinsheng’s words, Wang Zhonghua nodded and then shook his head, "No, I can’t leave Grandpa and Grandma. Why don’t we all go find Xibao and Fubao, Grandpa, Grandma? Xibao must have grown taller, and Fubao must be a very pretty little sister. Xibao wrote me about it in his letter, he said Fubao is super cute and beautiful!"

Wang Zhonghua’s eyes sparkled like stars at the suggestion.

Wang Xinsheng was lost in thought and remained silent.

Seeing Wang Xinsheng like this, Guo Yan felt a stir in her heart, "Old Wang, you’re not really thinking of going back to our hometown, are you?"

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue both turned their gaze towards Wang Xinsheng, filled with questioning.

"At my age, how easy is it to think of going back home? How many old leaders are reluctant to return to their hometowns? They’re worried it’ll cause too much fuss," sighed Wang Xinsheng, "I can’t go back, but you can take Huahua for a visit. Don’t reveal your identities, just act as ordinary people, relatives of ordinary Resistance War veterans."

Guo Yan’s face showed no pleasure at the idea; instead, she asked, "Why arrange for us, grandparents and grandchildren, to go back?"

Because his grandson was there, Wang Xinsheng skirted the issue, "I just miss the hills and rivers of my hometown. Since I can’t go back myself, you can go for me and tell me about it. It will be like I went there myself."

"Tell the truth!" Guo Yan didn’t believe his reasoning.

With a bitter smile, Wang Xinsheng replied, "I’m not lying to you, what truth do you want me to tell? You’re aware of the situation in the Capital, why is it an issue to avoid it? It’s for your own good. Without you by my side, I can get things done better."

"I’m just afraid you’ll end up butting heads and bleeding," Guo Yan said bluntly, "So, I need to stay in the Capital to keep an eye on you."

Guo Yan did not want to return to Huaibei City, and Wang Xinsheng had no choice but to let it go. Instead, he took Lu Jiang to talk in the study, leaving Guo Yan and Feng Qingxue with Wang Zhonghua, who kept talking about Xibao.

"Exactly, not bringing Xibao is such a disappointment," Guo Yan complained as well.

Feng Qingxue spread her hands, "We’ve said it, we’re out on an errand, how can we take a child along while handling affairs?"
