Chapter 1661: Chapter 1661: Politely Declining 3
Lu Erxiong finds whole grain rolls unpalatable. Actually, the children of the Lu Family are accustod to eating white rice, white flour, and various expensive foods. Occasionally having so sweet potato porridge is not a hardship for them; instead, they find it novel and, under the supervision of their parents, eat it cleanly and honestly.
If you taste it carefully, there are no other flavors mixed in. The cooked dried sweet potatoes have a slight sweetness and are quite tasty.
The main reason is that Feng Qingxue is quite strict. She always serves als according to portion and doesn’t allow them to leave any food.
Once a habit is ford, it is difficult to change.
Xibao is more sensible. He lived with his grandfather in his hotown and understands the hardships of life better than his younger siblings, thus cherishing food.
After eating, he took his younger siblings to distribute candies to those who hadn’t received any, with Liu Ran following to watch over them. anwhile, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue were talking with Wang Zhao in Dean Lin’s office.
When Lu Jiang was asking Wang Zhao about various things, Feng Qingxue rested her chin in her hand and watched.
She had already determined that the Wang Zhao in front of her was the national top-tier actor who had been hugely popular for decades since the 1980s. He was her parents’ idol and held many titles.
In the year of her ti travel, Wang Zhao was about sixty years old and had appeared in over a hundred film and television works, including leading, supporting, and bit roles, with most being period dramas and anti-war thes. He was known as a thoroughly professional old actor and always low-key, never taking on any advertisents except for public service ads.
According to reports, Wang Zhao had chronic stomach problems, having grown up in an orphanage with insufficient food and clothing, mainly surviving on sweet potatoes, which ruined his stomach. He resonated with the people born in the sixties and seventies and was one of their most favorite actors.
Wang Zhao was very passionate about charity, donating two-thirds of his earnings to charitable causes while leading a frugal life himself. His woolen suit had been worn for over twenty years, and he retired at the turn of the millennium. He had worn a pair of three-latch Badaling shoes for thirty years and a Shanghai gemstone flower watch for over thirty years. People remarked that he truly showcased the durability of dostic products, joking that his clothing, shoes, socks, and daily necessities could be considered antiques.
This aspect earned him the admiration of countless people, including Feng Qingxue, who thought he set a positive example without a hint of the negative images prevalent in the entertainnt industry, such as infidelity, tax evasion, or lavishness.
Wang Zhao protected his family well, and since Feng Qingxue was an outsider to the industry, she didn’t know about his marital situation.
After Lu Jiang finished talking with Wang Zhao, they mainly reminisced about Wang Erxi, also known as Wang Rong, saying, “Child, your father is gone, but I am like a father to you. If you want to go to school, just go. You don’t need to worry about making a living in the future.”
Saying this, he turned to look at his wife.
Feng Qingxue graciously agreed, “Yes, Wang Zhao, you have us in the future!”
Wang Zhao was already fifteen, a graceful young man, independent in his life. What they offered was mainly financial and material assistance; if he were a helpless infant, Feng Qingxue would have to reconsider due to their own many children, busy work, and elderly parents unable to care for another child.
However, Wang Zhao shook his head and said, “When I was younger, I always wanted to go to school. Now, I don’t want to anymore.”
“Why? Didn’t you really want to go to school? Wang Zhao, you don’t have to be polite with us. Your father’s unfulfilled responsibilities to you, as his old comrade, your aunt and I are duty-bound to assu.”
