Hearing the hesitation in Lu's father's words, Lu Zhankai did not refute it immediately, but sat down in front of the two elders.

"Dad, Mom, do you have any concerns in your heart?"

"No, don't think too much about it. Your parents...I mean your parents."

"They even called us last week to ask when we would arrive. They were so polite."

Lu Qi rubbed his knees and glanced at his father. "It's mainly because your father and I are too old to move. Besides, the animals at home are no longer with us."

Father Lu added, "Yes, it won't be too late for us to go after your mother recovers. By the way, remember to take good care of the child on the way."

"When you get there, spend some quality time with the old man. Don't worry about me and your mother. There are so many people in the family compound."

"That's right, that's right."

Lu Qi smiled and said, "Remember to say hello to everyone for me and your father."

Listening to the relaxed tone of Lu's father Lu Qi, Lu Zhankai felt a little sad.

He was raised by his parents.

He knew his parents' personalities very well.

It’s not that they don’t want to go to Beijing, nor do they want to meet his biological father-in-law.

They are just afraid that their presence will make everyone uncomfortable.

I was even more afraid that it would affect his mood for reuniting with his biological father and mother.

After a pause, Lu Zhankai took the hands of the two elders and spoke seriously.

"Dad, Mom, no matter who my biological father is, you will always be my dad and mom. This will never change."

"Mother knows."

Lu Qi patted his hands and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Dad, go get the things out."

After he finished speaking, Father Lu got up and went to the inner room.

After a while, a bulging sack came out.

"Dad, Mom, there's no need to bring so much. Beijing has everything."

"Beijing is Beijing. This is the gift from your mother and me."

Mr. Lu is usually serious, but today he was talking in a rather secretive way.

"Today is the first time you've come to my house, and it's a big celebration, so we can't be careless about etiquette. Your mother and I prepared this. Do you think there's anything missing?"

As he spoke, Father Lu opened the sack.

All the things inside were packed separately.

On top are dates, raisins, walnut kernels, and various kinds of preserved fruits.

At the bottom is the dried meat wrapped in oil paper.

"This package is yak meat, and the one next to it is mutton."

"Oh, by the way, Mom also packed some smoked horse meat and smoked horse sausage for you. I wonder if they'll be able to eat them."

Lu Li sighed as he spoke, "It's just that our yard is too small, otherwise I would have wanted to raise a few yaks in the yard."

"Let's just forget it."

Father Lu lowered his voice and said, "The army has already allowed us to raise livestock freely. It's a bit too much to raise yaks!"

"That's what I said."

Although Lu Li hadn't been to the inland for a long time, he still read the newspaper every day.

I heard that even raising chickens and ducks is now restricted in inland areas.

Unlike this place, although it is a bit desolate.

But there is no shortage of food.

We can be completely self-sufficient in fruits, meat, eggs and milk.

Speaking of this, Lu Qi slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my brain. This morning I asked someone to exchange a few bags of camel powder. We only have this here. You can take it with you to replenish your body."

"And this, take it."

Seeing Lu Li handing over a soft cloth bag, Lu Zhankai subconsciously thought that his mother was going to give him some money.

"Mom, I can't have this."

Since being promoted to battalion commander, he now earns 101 yuan a month and receives additional allowances for field training.

Together with his wife's salary, the couple earns more than 150 yuan per month.

"This isn't for you. It's a gift for your grandparents."

After he finished speaking, Lu Li untied the cloth bag.

There are two pairs of gloves inside.

The leather is the finest kid.

The inside is lined with fluffy sheepskin, which looks very warm.

Lu Zhan recognized it at a glance.

This skin was hunted in the wild by his predecessor.

There were many people following, and each household received only a small share.

He picked out two pieces and asked his mother to keep them to make gloves.

As a result, her mother couldn't bear to let her go.

"Mom, keep this for yourselves." Lu Zhan said, "I'll buy a few more pairs when we get to Urumqi..."

"That's different."
