Chapter 574 The Boy's Choice
Luo Aijun looked at Lu Qiaoge with some confusion.
To be honest, going to the US... I do have a certain longing for it.
Well, how should I put it?
The current era is relatively closed off.
Whether adults or children, people always feel a longing for things they haven't experienced before.
This is also true for the port city.
However, Luo Aijun was overthinking things.
My father has already started a family in the port city and has a wife. He and my mother don't want to go.
Especially now that his mother has a job and she is in school, he is very happy even though all his classmates except for Xiao Si are younger than him, not to mention that he has friends.
Then there's the fact that he and his mother still live in the military factory, a family compound that used to seem very mysterious to him.
Here, they also have their own home.
Luo Aijun sometimes doesn't even remember going to the port city.
But what if we go to country M now?
Lu Xiaosi stood to the side, clenching his hands and staring longingly at Luo Aijun. Then he took a deep breath and quickly looked away.
He really wanted to tell Luo Aijun, "Don't go. You must study hard and serve our country when you grow up."
However, he also knew that Luo Aijun's situation was different from his own.
Therefore, he cannot influence his good friend's decision.
Luo Aijun probably thought of this too, and he asked Lu Qiaoge.
"If I leave now, will I be a traitor?"
Then she looked at Lu Xiaosi: "Does this mean I won't be able to talk to Xiaosi or even my newly acquainted friends anymore?"
That's definitely not it.
Lu Qiaoge spoke very patiently.
"You know that our country also sends some people abroad to learn advanced science and technology. After they return, they also contribute to the development of our motherland."
Luo Aijun's eyes lit up immediately.
"Then I'm not a traitor?"
"As long as you don't do anything detrimental to our Dragon Kingdom, how could you be a traitor?"
After a pause, Lu Qiaoge still spoke very directly.
"I can't say for sure that going to the US will be good in every way. To be honest, your father's current wife is no pushover. If she finds out that you've been taken to the US, she might try to deal with you. In terms of safety, it's definitely not as good as staying at the military factory for now. But you also have to understand that you can't stay in the military factory's family compound forever, can you?"
Luo Aijun nodded; of course he knew that.
Although the military factory's residential compound is large enough, the people there are not isolated from the outside world.
"However, with your intelligence and diligence, you would probably learn more in the US than here. Once you've completed your studies, you can come back and serve your country."
Luo Ziwen isn't stupid; he's now in contact with higher-ups, something he wouldn't have dared to even dream of before.
Regardless of what he truly thinks, he would never do anything to undermine his own interests.
Therefore, he will absolutely not lose contact with this side.
If he continues to advance in the future, he will be even less likely to abandon this path.
After all, he and Luo Aijun were the most familiar with each other.
How could the shrewd Luo Ziwen possibly give up such a strong network of connections?
Hearing Lu Qiaoge say that, Luo Aijun's eyes lit up even more.
Although the little guy had many complaints about his father, children always have an unspeakable longing for their fathers.
Even though his father has now married another woman.
That innate father-son bond cannot be stopped.
Of course, the little one is always on his mother's side.
He disagreed with going to Hong Kong, and he didn't plan to go to the United States. He also didn't want to be separated from his mother and leave Chu Sulan alone here.
Luo Aijun suddenly felt very troubled.
“Even if my mother disagrees, I won’t abandon her and leave.”
Lu Qiaoge patted the young boy on the shoulder.
She naturally wouldn't make the decision for him.
This was a major life choice for Luo Aijun.
Although he is young, this child is mature for his age.
And there's also Chu Sulan's side.
So Lu Qiaoge said, "Go back and talk to your mother, listen to her opinion, and tell her your true thoughts. Besides, you're not that old yet, and no matter when you go, I think your father will be happy to arrange it for you."
Luo Aijun nodded vigorously, his eyes sparkling, as if he had suddenly understood after hearing this.
That's right, even if you want to go, you don't necessarily have to go this year; you can go next year too.
Does that mean his father won't care if he goes again next year?
That's good. Cut off all ties completely, and he won't care about him when he gets old.
He even plans to change his surname from Luo to Chu.
Therefore, Luo Aijun felt as if a burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
And there was something he had figured out, and he said to Lu Qiaoge very seriously, "Sister Lu, I suddenly remembered something very, very important."
Lu Qiaoge looked at Luo Aijun with great surprise and asked, "What important thing is it that you want me to hear about?"
Luo Aijun said with a serious little face.
"Sister Lu, as you know, because of my mother, I basically never went to school. I was taught addition and subtraction within 100 by the aunties at the neighborhood office. I don't actually know many characters, and many of them are even misspelled."
I don't understand a lot of the knowledge in the textbooks. I haven't even learned my own country's language well. I don't even know how big or what my country is like. If I go abroad and someone asks me a question and I can't answer it, wouldn't that be bringing shame to our country? Then I would really become a bad guy.
So now I'm just focusing on my studies. Xiao Si and I have discussed it, and we're going to take the fourth-to-fifth-grade entrance exam at the end of the semester. We might not pass, but we both just want to try.
Xiao Si suddenly turned to look at his best friend and classmate, Luo Aijun.
No, you haven't even left yet, how could you become a traitor?
Isn't this a secret between us?
Why are you saying it now?
I didn't tell my family, not even my second sister.
Because this matter may not necessarily come to fruition, and I would feel embarrassed if it did.
Good grief, he got so excited he spilled it all.
Lu Xiaosi stood with his hands on his hips, glaring angrily at Luo Aijun.
"We agreed to keep it a secret!"
Lu Qiaoge smiled and put her arms around the shoulders of the two boys: "Alright, alright, since I accidentally found out about this secret, let's keep it a secret among the three of us. I look forward to your good news."
Lu Xiaosi then glared at the embarrassed Luo Aijun, and then smiled at Lu Qiaoge.
"Second sister, this is a secret between the three of us!"
Luo Aijun, who was standing to the side, nodded vigorously.
Lu Qiaoge waved her hand: "Hurry up and go home, I have things to do."
After saying that, Lu Qiaoge got on her bicycle and headed towards the food factory.
You can still faintly hear the voices of two boys talking.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Si, I just got carried away today. The main thing is that this person is your second sister. If it were anyone else, I would never have said anything, even if you killed me. I would never be a traitor. I am the strongest warrior. Look at my name..."
