When they arrived at his house, Lu Haoyun sat motionless at the table.
They were very restrained.
Upon seeing them return, he said very politely, "Excuse me."
Su Qiao was surprised; it was as if he had become a completely different person.
During meals, the guards were the first to lose their temper.
When he sat down, it was as if he had been pricked in the butt; he quickly shoveled the corn porridge out of the bowl.
"Sir, I'm full. I'm going out for a stroll."
This atmosphere is just too unpleasant.
"Go ahead," Lu Haoyun replied, continuing to eat slowly.
Only three people remained in the main room.
Lu Haoyun spoke first: "I'll send the samples for testing later. What do you plan to do after the results come out?"
"What do you mean, what to do?" Lu Xiangze casually picked up a piece of green vegetable and chewed it blankly.
Su Qiao chuckled to herself.
Lu Xiangze dislikes eating vegetables the most; to be precise, he can't live without meat.
He always starts eating vegetables last.
I guess he got nervous from Lu Haoyun's question.
I instinctively picked up a piece of food with my chopsticks.
The lessons he learned from childhood instilled in him the habit of not wasting food.
So even if it's the green vegetables he hates the most, he'll still chew them and swallow them.
But Lu Haoyun thought he liked this.
I put a piece of green vegetable on his plate and asked him again.
Lu Xiangze: ...
There's no need to be so enthusiastic.
“I’m an adult now, and I have my own things to do. Even if the tests show that we really are father and son, it won’t change my plans.”
After Lu Haoyun told him about his current identity, he had already made up his mind.
They won't use his influence to get promoted.
After all, although they are father and son by blood, they have never spent time together.
Lu Haoyun didn't want to force the issue. Although the results weren't out yet, he was certain that Lu Xiangze was his child.
The test results were for my family to see.
So that they'll stop pressuring me to get married.
To be honest, he was pleasantly surprised to learn of Lu Xiangze's existence.
This at least shows that his relationship with Ruan Ruan has continued.
It removed a huge weight from his heart.
Lu Haoyun has just found the person, so it's not appropriate to punish him too much.
Moreover, his current position is neither legitimate nor justifiable.
"Whatever you want. Can you tell me about your childhood?"
Lu Haoyun missed his child's growth and longed to glean some clues from his memories.
He had assumed that Lu Xiangze, who had grown up to be so handsome, must be living a happy life.
Unfortunately, everything Lu Xiangze said was in vain.
Like sharp blades, they pierced his heart.
It turns out that Lu Xiangze suffered so much during the years he was absent.
He should have just not gone on that mission.
He wouldn't be so focused on dealing with the enemy that he missed Ruan Ruan's delivery.
Lu Xiangze was stolen away.
They also suffered greatly.
If it weren't for that selfish person, they would probably be a perfect family.
Ruan Ruan wouldn't have been so heartbroken after childbirth that it damaged her health and caused her to pass away prematurely...
Su Qiao saw that Lu Haoyun's gloom was almost tangible.
Lu Xiangze then changed the subject, saying, "Actually, all of that is in the past. I now have a wonderful fiancée, and I will be very happy in the future."
Lu Haoyun nodded.
At the same time, he lowered his head and awkwardly wiped his face.
Her eyes were sparkling.
She was clearly crying.
Lu Xiangze realized what was happening, his eyebrows furrowed, and he looked to Su Qiao for help.
Su Qiao then came up with an excellent way to change the subject.
Do you know someone named Li Xiangqian?
"We know each other. We haven't been in touch for a long time."
When Lu Haoyun regained his memory and returned to the army, the entire unit was no longer the same as before.
People I used to know have all drifted away.
At that time, he felt all alone and didn't think about going back to his old friends.
Because he felt he could die at any moment.
The best situation right now is when no one can contact us.
In this way, he died, and his friends didn't have to grieve again.
"Uncle Li is currently at the Qingshui Brigade."
"Could it be..."
Li Xiangqian's original hometown is not here; his presence here now likely indicates that he has encountered some misfortune.
He used to speak without thinking.
It's easy to offend people.
He was probably sent to the countryside because he was labeled a rightist.
"He now lives in a thatched hut."
Lu Haoyun nodded, but did not intend to go look for it now.
With this interruption, Lu Haoyun indeed had no time to be sad.
The three of them got along reasonably well.
Lu Haoyun was reluctant to leave and insisted on having another dinner there before finally departing.
As it grew dark, Lu Haoyun did not rush to leave.
He turned and went to the thatched hut.
Just then, Li Xiangqian had just sent Rong Shen back.
When I came back, I saw a person standing at the gate of the courtyard.
The moment the light of the kerosene lamp illuminated the scene.
Li Xiangqian almost screamed.
"Big brother, is that you?"
Lu Haoyun nodded. "You're so much older than me, so please don't bring up the 'elder brother' thing again."
Li Xiangqian chuckled.
"Of course not, this is our recognition of your abilities."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Li Xiangqian even pulled people inside and introduced his friend to Lu Haoyun.
A long-lost friend is talking.
There are simply countless topics to discuss.
As they chatted, the group suddenly started talking about their children's marriages.
The old guys started comparing themselves to each other.
Li Xiangqian: My grandson is already one year old.
Zhao Gou: My grandson is two years old, thank you.
Rongde: My grandson is currently a sent-down youth.
Rongde said it casually.
He's the oldest, so it's natural that his grandson is this age.
"And you?"
The three of them turned to Lu Haoyun at the same time.
Lu Haoyun chuckled and waved his hand, "My son has only just been found, and the test results haven't come out yet, so I can't say anything about these things."
Actually, he knew that even if he spoke, he wouldn't be able to catch up.
His parents had him late in life, and he was born when he was twenty-five or twenty-six.
Naturally, he couldn't keep up with the others' pace.
Zhao Gou stroked his beard.
He picked up the kerosene lamp and glanced at Lu Haoyun's face.
I understand now...
At this moment, Lu Xiangze was in the space, accompanying Su Qiao in writing lesson plans and preparing lessons.
Although the student has not yet been found.
But the lesson must be prepared.
Because even if a villager meets the requirements for attending school, they may not necessarily be sent to study.
They will be attending classes in mixed-age groups.
It's going to be very chaotic, so she needs to prepare early.
Su Qiao even dragged Lu Xiangze into being her student and tried out a lesson with him.
Lu Xiangze looked at her with doting eyes, supporting whatever she said.
Like a robot that can only say "yes".
However, she was quite satisfied with the result.
At least, Lu Xiangze is in a better mood now.
During the day, he was somewhat depressed after returning home.
"Are you feeling better now, little Lu Xiangze?"
Lu Xiangze finally realized that Su Qiao was just trying to make him happy.
It feels so good to have my emotions valued.
"Thank you, Teacher Su. You taught very well."
The next few days.
Lu Xiangze returns to the village every day after get off work.
I'll head to work again in the morning.
Even so, he needs to arrive two hours early.
But he enjoyed it immensely.
He wanted to cherish Su Qiao like this. He didn't want to end up like that old man, alone.
