Chapter 813: Chapter 813: Can’t Have Children, Think of Stone Chapter 813: Chapter 813: Can’t Have Children, Think of Stone Auntie Gu Qianru also chimed in, “Your grandfather is right, you must discuss things with Qiaoqiao first, and besides, this isn’t a small matter. Once you take responsibility, you have to see it through. Qiaoqiao is sensible, she will definitely understand.”
Lu Yichen nodded, “I understand, but I’m afraid we’ll need your help after bringing the child back. Qiaoqiao will be even busier after the New Year. In the second half of next year, she is supposed to complete all her university courses. The school intends to recommend her for a master’s program.”
Old Master Gu smiled and said, “Pursuing a master’s is great. Who knows, she might even bring back a PhD. As for the child, don’t worry, there are people at home to take care of him.
Besides, didn’t the letter say the child is already eight years old? It’s time for school. Let him go to school with Stone. I believe the child will adapt quickly.”

The next afternoon, Luo Xuyuan was packing his bags. The family had prepared quite a few gifts for him to bring to the future Yue Family. He had bought a sleeper ticket for that evening.
Luo Qiao knocked on the door and entered, “Big Brother, you’ve met Xiao Ya’s parents before. They are quite open-minded. I believe your uncle and aunt will like you. Since the New Year is only a few days away, it would be best if you could settle things during the holiday.”
Luo Xuyuan patted his sister on the head, “Don’t worry, I know what you’re thinking. If possible, I’ll try my best.”
Luo Qiao handed over the items in her hand, “I had these reserved in advance, the roast duck and the Capital Eight Delicacies. Take them with you.”
Luo Xuyuan laughed as he took them, “Qiaoqiao always thinks everything through.”
He had also planned to stop by Quanjude and buy a few roast ducks to bring along. He hadn’t expected his sister to have already prepared them.
In the dormitory of the University of Political Science and Law, Xiao Ya was also packing her bags. Today, she was taking Luo Xuyuan home to meet her parents. Once their relationship was confirmed, she wrote to her family.
Her father, knowing it was Luo Qiao’s elder brother, did not object but only said to bring him home during the holidays to see. After Xuyuan bought the tickets, she called home to say they were coming today.
In Ji City, girls her age were mostly married with children. Although her parents never said it aloud, they were actually anxious. However, having gone to university, her family didn’t want to settle her for less.

In a courtyard in Capital City, Old Lady Ning looked at her youngest son and his wife: “What did the doctor say?”
Ning Ziping sighed, “Both of us have issues, so it’s probably not easy for us to conceive.”
Old Lady Ning struggled to accept this, “Then what will you do in the future? Not being able to have children will make people laugh at us to death.”
On second thought, she added, “No, wait, Ziping, are you saying you have issues too, just to cover for her? If you had problems, how did that child in the countryside come about?”
Ning Ziping hadn’t expected his mother to think this way and hurriedly explained, “Mom, how could I deceive you? It really needs adjustments. The doctor even prescribed a lot of medication, which I have brought back.”
He indeed hadn’t lied to his mother. The couple had been married for several years without a child. His wife, Wang Hailan, had consumed countless medicinal soups to no avail. This time, she had heard it might also be a problem on the man’s part, so they both went for medical checks.
The results confirmed he too had problems and the doctor mentioned, considering their conditions, the likelihood of his wife conceiving was nearly zero, unless they consulted a specialist in this field.
Then, Old Lady Ning suddenly said, “If you really can’t have children, then go to the countryside and bring that child back. No matter what, he is also of the Ning family’s bloodline.”
At this moment, Wang Hailan, who had been silent, looked up and said, “Mother, please give us a little more time. That child is already twelve years old; bringing him back now, he might not be on the same page with us.”
Ning Ziping, however, didn’t share the same view. That was his son after all. Had the Wang Family not disagreed with bringing the child back in those days, he wouldn’t have left him in the countryside.
Thinking of his son provided some comfort. If they truly couldn’t have children in the future, at least they still had him. Suddenly, his heart didn’t feel as heavy as before, thinking he would make time to visit Qingshan Village soon.
