Chapter 493: Encouraging his grandson to loosen the soil again
Xie Yun chimed in, "Young people these days love listening to pop songs. The students at our school are saving up to buy cassette tapes and tape recorders to listen to music. Xie Zheng, if you work hard, I believe you'll definitely become famous in the near future."
Influenced by her students, she has recently started listening to a lot of popular songs.
I must say, it actually sounds pretty good.
Xie Yun's words greatly encouraged Xie Zheng. "Thank you for your encouragement, Aunt."
With everyone so optimistic about Xie Zheng, Old Master Lu finally believed that Xie Zheng was doing the right thing.
He looked at Xie Zheng seriously, his tone softening a bit, "Although I don't understand what you're singing, as long as young people like it, that's fine. You've been singing for many years now, and your grandparents really dote on you. If it were me, I would have kicked you out long ago if you hadn't gone out to work all these years."
"When you make money in the future, take good care of them." Looking at the gray hair and aging faces of Mr. and Mrs. Xie, Grandpa Lu couldn't help but feel sorry for them. He also admonished Xie Zheng, "You must treat them well and fulfill your filial duty to your parents."
Although they often bickered, competed, and showed off among themselves, they were still old friends.
But in truth, he genuinely admired and felt sorry for Old Xie.
My son and daughter-in-law have been doing special work for more than ten years and have hardly ever come back.
Xie Zheng is another troublemaker.
He had advised Lao Xie many times before to keep a close eye on Xie Zheng and arrange a job for him.
Don't stay at home and sponge off your parents.
They're still healthy and have elderly relatives to rely on.
What if they're gone one day and this kid is spoiled and has no survival skills? Will he starve?
As an elder, this is irresponsible towards the child.
But every time this topic comes up, Old Xie always says that Xie Zheng's parents also send money back often. Xie Zheng is doing what he likes and can also keep them company. The three of them are very happy.
At that time, he always felt that Old Xie was selfish, abandoning his future so that his grandson could stay with them.
Looking back now, it was their unconditional persistence and trust that gave Xie Zheng enough time and space to pursue music creation.
Only then can one persevere.
In this respect, he felt he was inferior to Old Xie.
Xie Zheng promised, "I will definitely take good care of my grandparents. They will be the grandparents of a famous singer in the future."
People used to say that he was so-and-so's grandson.
Once he becomes famous, the way he's addressed should be changed.
Whenever someone mentions the elderly, they should say, "These are Xie Zheng's grandparents."
Grandpa Xie couldn't hide his pride and laughed, "Keep a low profile. You haven't succeeded yet, so don't get cocky."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Old Master Lu with a smile and couldn't help but smugly say, "However, Xiao Zhi said that this kid is promising, can make money, and can become famous. We believe in Xiao Zhi."
Old Master Lu, "........."
Fortunately, his granddaughter-in-law was going to find Lu Ye.
Otherwise, old Xie would probably be encouraging his grandson to loosen the soil again.
"Of course, my Xiaozhi has a good eye for people. She said Xie Zheng can succeed, so he must be promising."
Grandpa Lu began to steer the conversation elsewhere, "Xiao Zhi, how are you feeling about spending the Spring Festival at the military base this year? Are you nervous?"
Bai Zhi said, "Grandpa, I'm quite nervous. I've never been to the army before."
She was indeed quite nervous.
But more than anything, I felt joy.
The joy of being able to see Lu Ye.
"It's okay, don't be nervous. Lu Ye is here, he'll take good care of you."
Grandpa Lu laughed and said, "You two haven't seen each other in a long time. That boy must be longing to see you, haha."
Lu Zheng'an chimed in, "Yes, he must miss Xiao Zhi after not seeing her for so long."
"I don't know if he's been at work lately, or if he's been out on missions. He hasn't called me recently either."
Xie Yun's words made everyone tense again.
"They should be here during the Lunar New Year. Even if they're on a mission, the holiday should be over by then, so don't worry."
Lu Zheng'an said this, but he was more uneasy than anyone else. His son's job was destined to make him worry about him all the time.
I've tried so many times to persuade him to change careers or find a safer job.
Every time they tried to discuss that topic, the father and son would end up on bad terms.
They knew their son had lofty ambitions.
He should also be respected.
But for parents, their greatest desire is for their child to be safe and healthy; nothing else matters.
However, they could not control Lu Ye.
He comforted his family and himself, saying, "Let's not worry about it. Ono is very capable. Although the work is a bit tough, I believe he can complete it successfully every time."
When Lu Ye's work is mentioned, everyone will unconsciously think of the harrowing experience he had when he was injured last time.
I still feel lingering fear to this day.
My mood couldn't help but become heavy.
Grandpa Lu kept reminding Bai Zhi to tell Lu Ye to be careful when he went out on missions.
Don't be like a workaholic.
He is a married man now.
Even if we don't consider them, we should at least think about Bai Zhi.
Even more subtly, Grandpa Lu expressed his desire to hold his great-grandson.
They argued that only after a man becomes a father can his sense of responsibility towards his family be fully awakened.
Although Bai Zhi understood the old man's implication, she neither responded nor expressed her opinion.
Having great-grandchildren is probably not something she can satisfy the elderly woman for the time being.
She must have a child only after both she and Lu Ye are fully prepared to be parents, not to fulfill the grandparents' wish to have a great-grandchild.
Having a child is not something to be taken lightly.
Because of her upbringing, she is more cautious than anyone else when it comes to having children.
Bai Zhi didn't respond, and Xie Yun smoothed things over for her, so Old Master Lu didn't continue the topic.
He could tell that his granddaughter-in-law didn't seem to have any plans to have a new baby for the time being.
Actually, he didn't want to be disliked; after urging people to get married, he urged them to have children.
He was just too scared.
Every day I live in fear, afraid that Lu Ye will have some bad luck one of these days...
A man truly only matures after becoming a father.
He also hoped that Bai Zhi could have a child soon, so that Lu Ye would have someone to care about and cherish his life.
Right now, he's a workaholic.
However, Bai Zhi is still young and has only been married for a short time. As an elder, there is really no way to put too much pressure on her.
After finishing their meal, the Xie family of three decided to leave.
Before leaving, the Xie family elders said to her, "Xiao Zhi, we're leaving now. We won't see you off tomorrow. Have a safe journey."
"Thank you, Grandpa Xie, Grandma Xie."
"Then we're leaving."
After the guests left, the Lu family gave Bai Zhi a series of instructions, showing that they were really worried about her traveling alone by train.
Bai Zhi comforted them in a lighthearted tone.
Only then did everyone give up.
Bai Zhi had to take a bus in the morning, so after chatting for a while, she went back to her room to rest early.
Here, Xie Zheng had just arrived home with the old man when a band member called, inviting him to go dancing at a nightclub.
