Chapter 38: There are people in the world who look so similar



"The vacation is a month in total, and there's still about half a month left. What's wrong?"

Lu Zhengxiang didn't know why she asked that. He turned his head slightly to the left and put his left ear close to her, trying to hear her voice more clearly.

"Oh, that's still plenty of time. I think Tiedan and Ruoruo are getting quite old, so why don't you help ask the nearby primary schools if they have any vacancies for admission."

"I want them both to go to school."

In fact, Ruan Suhe had been thinking about this matter since the day she moved to Beijing.

"You, why do you think so?"

These two sentences made Lu Zhengxiang pause in his normal pace.

"I don't want Tiedan and Ruoruo to be called wild boys and girls from the countryside by others."

"I want them to learn knowledge so they can have a skill and succeed in the future."

...

...

At this point, Lu Zhengxiang knew what she meant, and he also understood that people calling her a fat girl, a country bumpkin, or a village woman had some impact on her.

"You don't have to care about what others say. You are you, and others don't know your goodness."

Lu Zhengxiang resumed his normal pace and suddenly said something praising her, which was rare.

After saying this, Ruan Suhe suddenly fell silent. She didn't know how to answer Lu Zhengxiang now.

The two of them returned to the yard in silence.

Ruan Suhe was carried by Lu Zhengxiang and gently placed in the bedroom.

"Rest first. Resting will help the sprained area recover quickly."

After Lu Zhengxiang finished speaking, he left the bedroom and started tidying up the vegetable garden.

Ever since Ruan Suhe planted the seeds in the vegetable garden, Lu Zhengxiang has been taking care of them almost every day, checking from time to time to see if they have sprouted or if they are lacking water...

"Dad, I want to go to where you train. I want to watch uncle practice military boxing."

Seeing that he was free at this moment, Tiedan moved to his side and whispered to him.

A pair of bright eyes sparkled with this request.

“Why does Tiedan want to go?”

"Because I want to be strong, as powerful as my father and uncles, so that I don't have to be afraid of anything."

When Tiedan spoke, his eyes were firm and there was no wavering at all.

"Okay, I'll take you there, but you can't easily enter the training ground. We can only take a look from outside the fence."

Lu Zhengxiang also wanted Tiedan to broaden his horizons, so he agreed immediately.

The next day, Ruan Suhe did not run the five kilometers as usual because of a sprained ankle.

However, she did not give up exercising. Besides, there are many ways to exercise, not just running.

Therefore, Ruan Suhe is now doing some yoga stretching movements in her body, trying to avoid putting force on her injured ankle.

Lu Zhengxiang got up early in the morning and took Tiedan to the training ground.

Tiedan stood outside the fence of the training ground, staring at the team training inside the whole time, his eyes moving left and right following every move.

Lu Zhengxiang just stood beside him, accompanying him silently without disturbing him.

With a loud "clang", an old lady not far away lost hold of her cane and it fell to the concrete floor.

The old lady almost fell to the ground because of her unstable center of gravity.

"Grandma, be careful."

Before Lu Zhengxiang could take any action, Tiedan shot out like a little rocket.

He caught the old lady just when she was about to fall.

"Grandma, please stand still. I'll get you a cane."

After Tiedan helped the old lady stand steadily, he bent down to pick up the crutch on the ground and handed it to the old lady.

"Haha, thank you, little friend."

"May I have your name?"

"Grandma, you're welcome. Just call me Tiedan."

Tiedan looked up and answered politely with a smile.

"Okay, okay~ Tiedan, thank you..."

"No, no, no, you...are too similar."

"Tiedan, can you tell me who your father is?"

When the old lady saw Tiedan's appearance, she suddenly became excited and held Tiedan's little hand tightly.

"Grandma, my father, Lu Zhengxiang, is over there."

The old lady looked in the direction Tiedan's finger and saw him outside the fence of the training ground.

The moment the old lady saw Lu Zhengxiang, she was stunned, with a look of disbelief on her face.

She let go of Tiedan's hand and walked towards Lu Zhengxiang tremblingly with her crutches.

"Little comrade, little comrade, can you please walk around? I want to take a good look at you."

The old lady's steps were not very steady. Lu Zhengxiang was worried that she would fall again, so he walked towards her quickly.

"What's wrong with you?"

Lu Zhengxiang was a little puzzled.

"They look alike, exactly like they were carved from the same mold."

"Little comrade, where is your home? Where were you born?"

The old lady asked impatiently.

Lu Zhengxiang was not quite sure what the situation was, so he did not answer her question directly.

"Auntie, I'm not from Beijing. I was just transferred to Beijing for work."

"Auntie, where are you going? My son and I will help you there."

Lu Zhengxiang would not easily answer questions from strangers, especially those about his identity and birthplace. This is the most basic defensive psychology as a soldier.

He flexibly changed the subject and helped the old lady ask for directions.

"Oh, thank you, thank you, comrade. I want to go to the office building. Please help me over there."

The old lady was also a smart person. She knew that in front of Lu Zhengxiang, she was like a stranger.

"Thank you and your son for your help, comrade. If it weren't for you, I would have fallen and had a bloody head."

"By the way, young comrade, your name is Lu Zhengxiang, right? I must write you a letter of praise."

The old lady now wanted to find out Lu Zhengxiang's name under the pretext of chatting.

"No, Auntie, it's just a piece of cake. You don't have to go through the trouble of writing a letter of praise."

As the old lady expected, Lu Zhengxiang still avoided answering her tentative questions.

Until the three of them arrived at the office building, the old lady did not pry into Lu Zhengxiang's privacy at all.

Only after Lu Zhengxiang and Tiedan said goodbye to her and walked away did the old lady become energetic.

In fact, her hands and feet were very strong. The reason she dropped her crutches was because she saw Lu Zhengxiang's back and he looked like the same person.

It reminded her of the wrong things she had done when she was possessed by the devil.

She wanted to confirm whether Lu Zhengxiang was the source of her wrongdoings back then.

Since both the big and small ones are so similar to him, there must be some clues.

She couldn't let Lu Zhengxiang appear in that woman's sight, and she would never let that woman succeed.

She wanted to make sure that woman had no one to rely on in her life.

The old lady stared at the disappearing figures of Lu Zhengxiang and Tiedan, and stomped the ground hard with her walking stick.

His name is Lu Zhengxiang, right? She remembered it and she would find all the information about this Lu Zhengxiang.

If it was as she guessed, she would have to use her connections to keep Lu Zhengxiang away from Beijing.
