Lu Xia ended up transmigrating into the body of a sent-down youth in the 1970s, replacing her older sister who was supposed to go to the countryside.
Thinking about how the original host was ...
At this time, Grandpa Jiang said, "Kang Kang said he wants to live on his own in the future. There's an empty room next to my house, so let him move there."
Lu Xia was surprised and looked at Kang Kang immediately, "You want to live by yourself? Why? Don't you like sleeping with mom and dad?"
Kang Kang nodded, raised his chin and said, "I'm grown up now, it's time for me to sleep alone!"
Lu Xia's expression froze after hearing this. "Who told you that? You're only three years old, not grown up. What if you can't fall asleep by yourself?"
"No, he just sleeps alone on the island." Grandpa Jiang said.
Kang Kang also nodded, "Well, I always sleep alone. I'm a man and I'm not afraid!"
But Lu Xia still didn't want to agree. She was about to go back to school. Once she got busy after school started, she would only have time to be close to her son at night. Now she didn't even have this little time. She felt that her son was becoming more and more distant from her after returning to the city.
At this time, Jiang Junmo on the side also began to persuade her, "Since he wants to do so, let him sleep by himself. He should have his own room. Didn't the courtyard also arrange a room for him?"
Having said that, he is not even four years old yet.
But since everyone said so, Lu Xia had no choice but to agree.
...
...
Then Kang Kang excitedly went to decorate the room. Jiang Junmo followed to help, and Grandpa Jiang followed behind. Uncle and aunt started looking for extra bedding at home...
Lu Xia was speechless when she saw this. It turned out that she was the only one who disagreed!
…
Kang Kang moved to the first floor and lived on his own that night.
At night, Lu Xia was lying on the bed and couldn't sleep. She reached out and poked Jiang Junmo beside her and said, "Tell me, is Kang Kang growing up too fast? It feels like he has grown up in the blink of an eye."
Jiang Junmo smiled and said, "What? Are you still upset about living alone?"
"I'm not uncomfortable!" Lu Xia denied it, "I just feel like I'm getting old, eh..."
Jiang Junmo knew she hadn't let it go after hearing this, so he said hurriedly: "You're not old, you're only in your early twenties, not old! It's just that the child has grown up, and it's normal for him to want some personal space. I also lived by myself when I was three years old."
After hearing this, Lu Xia sighed and didn't want to talk about it anymore.
"Go to sleep. Let's go to the library tomorrow. School is about to start. Let's see if we should buy any books."
Jiang Junmo nodded in agreement, and seeing that she was still in a bad mood, he came over and asked, "If you can't sleep, do you want to do some exercise?"
Lu Xia immediately shook her head after hearing this, "No, I'm sleeping!"
As he said this, he covered his head with the quilt, expressing his strong desire to sleep.
Jiang Junmo laughed when he saw this, knowing that she hadn't come to terms with it yet, so he stopped teasing her and hugged her to sleep.
The next day, after Lu Xia got up, he went to see Kang Kang first and found that he had woken up long ago and was taking a walk with Grandpa Jiang and walking the dog. It was probably a habit he developed on the island, and his schedule was quite regular.
After coming back from the walk, he didn't pounce on her as he did in the past, but simply said hello and told her to get up early and exercise in the future, and not to sleep in, which was good for her health.
The old mother Lu Xia agreed with a stiff smile, but her heart was broken. After comforting herself for a long time, she reluctantly accepted the fact that her child had grown up and was no longer close to her.
After dinner, Lu Xia and Jiang Junmo went to the library and bought a few books.
Almost all of them belong to Jiang Junmo, mainly because he is going to change his major after school starts, and he needs to re-learn some knowledge.
Lu Xia bought a newly published dictionary and saw some English classics that he liked. However, he thought that the school library might also have them, so he could just go and read them when the time comes, without having to buy them.
After that, the two of them went home and prepared things for school...
