Chapter 45: Forty-Four, Recognize Godparents Chapter 45: Forty-Four, Recognize Godparents After breakfast, Luo Shu went to Xu Feng’s ho to give Zhao Aishu another acupuncture treatnt.
“Luo Shu, have you ever thought about going to school?” Zhao Aishu asked with a smile as she watched Luo Shu. She and her husband had already discussed it yesterday, and if Luo Shu was willing, they would hire soone specifically to teach her. Though Luo Shu was intelligent, having more knowledge would be beneficial for her.
“Go to school?” Luo Shu’s heart stirred. In her previous life, she was already a holder of two doctoral degrees, but now, in other people’s eyes, she was a complete illiterate. Given the opportunity to go to school, she naturally would take it. Education was important, both in the future and at present.
“Yes,” Zhao Aishu said with a laugh, “your Uncle Xu and I have already discussed it. If you want to study, we will find a tutor to teach you first.” In her heart, she had already accepted Luo Shu as a mber of her own family, so she hoped that Luo Shu could have a good future.
“Aunt Xu, there’s no need for a tutor. Just have Uncle Xu help get the qualifications for an exam,” Luo Shu said as she gently pinched Silver Needle, slowly twisting it as she pulled it from Zhao Aishu’s leg.
The exams now were much simpler than they would be in the future, and with her knowledge, getting into university would be no problem. Moreover, there was still more than half a year before the exams, so she had plenty of ti.
Zhao Aishu looked at Luo Shu in surprise. “Are you really that confident?” She rembered Luo Shu ntioning that she had never attended school before.
Luo Shu nodded with a smile, sterilized Silver Needle, and placed it back in the needle bag, “I’ve actually been self-studying. I’ve just finished junior high content not long ago. With more than half a year left, I think it should be enough.”
“I see, then I’ll have your Uncle Xu bring you so review materials to look over. If there’s anything you don’t understand, just tell Aunt Xu,” said Zhao Aishu. She wasn’t doubting Luo Shu but felt that self-study could never match a teacher’s instruction.
“Great! Thank you so much, Aunt Xu,” Luo Shu thanked her with a smile.
“You child, why be so formal with ?” Zhao Aishu said with a laugh as she tousled Luo Shu’s hair, her eyes full of affection, “Luo Shu, if you don’t mind, how about you recognize and your Uncle Xu as your godmother and godfather?” She felt a strong connection with Luo Shu but didn’t know if Luo Shu would agree.
“Sure!” Luo Shu agreed readily. After these days of interaction, Aunt Xu gave her the feeling of family, which was very dear to her.
“That’s wonderful! I’ll call your Uncle Xu right now, no! I an, your godfather.” Zhao Aishu picked up the phone from the table with an excited face and dialed.
Watching Zhao Aishu’s happy deanor, Luo Shu’s face brightened with a brilliant smile, her heart filled with joy and emotion.
The fragrance of incense swirled, and the tea aroma filled the room.
Lu Hanmo entered the study and saw Old Master Lu sitting on the sofa drinking tea. A faint smile appeared on his austere face, “Grandfather, you wanted to see ?”
“Have a seat,” Old Master Lu said with a smile as he pointed to the sofa opposite him. His health had improved significantly after Luo Qianyu’s treatnt in the past few days.
Once Lu Hanmo sat down, Old Master Lu put down his teacup and began slowly, “Hanmo, you are not getting any younger. Have you thought about your lifelong commitnt?”
His parents had already brought up the issue many tis, but he had brushed it aside. He believed a man should aspire to achieve great things, and matters of the heart were not all that important. However, after falling ill, his perspective changed. Now, he very much wanted to see Hanmo marry and witness the birth of Hanmo’s children.
Lu Hanmo cleared his throat, looking a bit embarrassed, “Grandfather, I actually already have soone I like.” Initially, he had planned to wait until his grandfather was more recovered before bringing up the topic, but since his grandfather was asking now, it was the perfect ti to talk about Shushu.
Old Master Lu raised his eyebrows in mild surprise, and asked cheerfully, “Who is she?” He hadn’t expected his grandson to already have soone special, truly a surprise. He had thought that with Hanmo’s ice-cold deanor, no girl would dare to approach him.
“Her na is Luo Shu, and she is the one who gave the Divine Doctor Family’s Token. Although she’s just a common girl from the countryside, she is extraordinary in my eyes,” Lu Hanmo said, his face lighting up with a smile as he ntioned Luo Shu.
Old Master Lu frowned slightly, “How did you et her?” He didn’t look down upon country girls, but was surprised that his grandson’s affection lay with a rural girl. He assud that since his grandson spent most of his ti at the base, his interests would lie with a girl from the base.
Lu Hanmo briefly recounted how he t Luo Shu. “Grandfather, Luo Shu is a very kind and intelligent girl. You will like her once you et her.” As long as he got his grandfather’s approval, no one in the family would object.
“Then, bring her to et when you have a chance.” As long as the girl ca from a decent family, even if she was just a country girl, he would not object. His grandson’s happiness was what mattered most. The Lu family didn’t need to sacrifice Hanmo’s happiness for gain.
“Of course!” Lu Hanmo replied happily, knowing his grandfather would agree.
Old Master Lu took a sip of tea from the table, “You should also tell your parents about this. Your mother has been busy arranging matchmaking appointnts for you lately.”
Lu Hanmo nodded wordlessly, “I’ll tell them in a bit.” Luckily, he already had Shushu, or else he would end up like Mo Shaoze, being dragged around by his family to matchmaking appointnts. The thought was unbearable.
“Knock knock knock!” The study door was knocked at this mont.
“Co in!” Old Master Lu called out firmly.
The butler, Uncle Wang, entered the room, “Young Master, there’s a call for you in the living room, from the base.”
“Alright,” Lu Hanmo responded, standing up, “Grandfather, I’ll go take the call.”
“Go ahead,” Old Master Lu said with a wave of his hand.
Lu Hanmo went to the living room to answer the phone, “This is Lu Hanmo!”
“Lu Hanmo, there is an urgent mission at the base that requires your attention. Return imdiately!” A commanding voice ca from the phone.
“Yes!” Lu Hanmo stood at attention and responded loudly.
“Hanmo, you’re leaving again?” Just after Lu Hanmo hung up the phone, his mother Zhu Huizhen’s sowhat sorrowful voice could be heard.
Lu Hanmo nodded, “Mom, I’ll go tell grandfather.”
