When it came to Feng Qingxue, Lu’s father was full of praise, "If these kids don’t show her filial piety in the future, I’ll break their legs!"
After listening, Cheng Baoguo laughed and said, "Who would take care of these kids if she weren’t inherently kind? If she weren’t inherently kind, she wouldn’t have saved my parents even without knowing them. Second brother, I really envy you! Your Ajiang is a fortune."
Lu’s father glanced at Lu Jiang, "I said the same thing."
Because at dinner last night, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue had mentioned the ins and outs of the chance encounter with Mrs. Cheng, and even the incident of Wang Zhengguo’s chance meeting with Li Dazhu, so he was not surprised at Cheng Baoguo’s mention of Feng Qingxue saving the Cheng Family’s old couple.
Lu Jiang noticed his father’s glance at him and couldn’t help but protest, "Dad, you don’t have to look at me . I’m keeping quiet not because I can’t talk, but because I don’t want to interrupt your reminiscing with my uncle. I’ll just listen to you two reminiscing. Moreover, I know better than anyone whether or not Qingxue is good. You don’t need to remind me with that look."
Only he in this world knew the secret of Feng Qingxue, who could compare?
Only he in this world could be with Feng Qingxue, raise children, be together for a lifetime, never leave or forsake.
He would demonstrate his love for his wife through his actions, not his words.
"Good, you know the score." Lu’s father commented.
"Second brother, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You should just focus on spoiling your grandchildren." Cheng Baoguo teased Xibao as he spoke, "Look, Xibao is so cute, truly lives up to his name. One day, let Ajiang and Xiaoxue bring Xibao to our house. My mother and my wife will love him."
Lu’s father hesitated slightly, "Will it touch upon your sister’s sore spot?"
Cheng Baoguo paused for a moment, then laughed, "We have long since let it go. There’s no sore spot. What had to happen, happened, and what didn’t, couldn’t be forced. In the past years, many people have encouraged us to adopt children. I know that there are many orphans in the military and among the civilians who need love, but we didn’t agree because we felt that we couldn’t take care of them considering our work commitments. It would be better not to give the children hope than to disappoint them."
Lu’s father nodded slightly, "I’m afraid it would bring you trouble. Baoguo, you must be careful, it won’t be long before someone uses class status to exclude dissidents."
"Xiaoxue is our benefactor who saved my parent’s lives. What’s wrong with our family associating with the person who saved us? What relationship do I have with you? Sorry, Landlord Lu, we don’t have any relationship. I am Cheng Baoguo, the son of an old revolutionary soldier, not Cheng Tiedan who used to keep you company studying. We don’t know each other, remember? We don’t know each other!" Cheng Baoguo said facetiously.
Upon hearing this, Lu’s father understood. He didn’t acknowledge their sworn brotherhood, but visited under the pretext of repaying a life-saving favor.
"As long as it won’t bring you any negative impact," said Lu’s father. In a lower voice, he added, "I can’t contact big brother easily. Since I’ve seen you, please pass on a message for me: remind him to be careful, be careful, and again, be careful! It’s like a covered pot about to boil over out there. He must try his best to keep safe. Wealth and power are external things, the most important thing is his life. He must protect his life! He should be adaptable to circumstances, not caring about momentary honor and disgrace. As a man who’s climbed out of a pile of dead bodies, he should be more open-minded."
