"Get in the car, all of you. We can talk when we get ho," Lu Jiang greeted the elders and children.
The Capital was experiencing a heavy snowfall, and he was genuinely worried about the elderly getting cold.
Guan Yu quickly spoke up, "I had already sent a telegram to my brother the day after receiving the university admission notice, asking him and my sister-in-law to rent a house for us near Capital University. Before coming here, I received a telegram from him saying the house was rented. We plan to visit my brother first and have him take us to the rented house, and visit our uncle and aunt another day."
Even though he knew the house allocated to Xibao’s family was spacious and large, having so many people living together wasn’t ideal, especially since he and his wife were taking care of Grandma Zhou, which was quite inconvenient.
Anyway, their relationship wouldn’t beco distant just because they weren’t living together.
"I know about it, and I also know the address of your house." As soon as December ca, he and Feng Qingxue took the children to visit so elderly war veterans, including the old man Hong Zhanjun. Upon hearing that Guan Cheng was looking for a house, the old man imdiately offered to rent his house to him. After all, the two families were very close. Zhou Zhou grew up under his watch, and Grandma Zhou was an old acquaintance of his.
Most importantly, Hong Zhanjun never had a wife or children all his life, and in his old age, he appreciated the liveliness.
Having a few people living around him made him feel secure, so there wouldn’t be a situation where no one noticed if one day he couldn’t wake up.
Hearing the old man’s words, Feng Qingxue felt particularly touched. She decided to sell so gold in the black market to use the money to help settle lonely war veterans, at least ensuring they wouldn’t die unnoticed in solitude. Establishing a veterans’ retirent ho seed like a good plan, but it required long-term consideration since it wasn’t a trivial matter.
Upon hearing Lu Jiang say the house was rented from the old man Hong Zhanjun, Guan Yu was delighted and said, "That’s even better. Zhou Zhou and I can give Grandpa Hong proper care. Please ask Uncle to have the driver take us directly there; I’d also like to et my brother first."
Lu Jiang smiled warmly, "Your brother and sister-in-law are at my ho. You can all go together, and after dinner, we’ll take you back."
Knowing that the family was coming today, and with Lu Tianjun and Jiang Xiaoyue bringing their children back to the Capital for a visit, Feng Qingxue had called Guan Cheng and Zhong Wenxiu early to invite them to dinner at her ho.
No matter how you look at it, the two brothers from the Guan Family are also like children of her own family, so it wouldn’t be right not to invite them for a family reunion.
Not only that, but Feng Qingxue also inford Wang Xinsheng and his wife.
So, upon arriving ho, seeing the long-awaited elder brother, both Lu Father and Cheng Baoguo were very emotional.
"Big Brother!" The two elder brothers exclaid in unison.
Wang Xinsheng laughed brightly, "Second Brother, Third Brother, now we can et more often in the future!"
Lu Father and Cheng Baoguo nodded vigorously, "That’s really wonderful."
Lu Tianzhi was also very happy to see his brother, rushing up to give him a hug, "Big Brother, I’ve missed you so much! Are you really in the Capital? Didn’t you get transferred to the Southeast Military Region? Uncle didn’t tell on the way."
"Aunt wanted to surprise you," Lu Tianjun said with a smile on a face that bore striking resemblance to Lu Jiang.
From appearance alone, no one would doubt that Lu Tianjun is Lu Jiang’s son. He resembles Lu Jiang more than Xibao, not just in looks, but in bearing, exuding an aura of authority typical of a family elder.
Though in terms of age, Guan Cheng is older than him, in terms of presence, Guan Cheng is gentle and refined, elegant and handso, not as imposing as he is.
Lu Erxiong was sowhat intimidated by him, holding onto the two little nephews, Lu Chen and Guan Xu, making snown in the courtyard, but refusing to enter the house to face Lu Tianjun’s stern expression that mirrored his father’s.
