Upon hearing Liu Yuan's words, Qian Duoduo's heart stirred. Since Lu Jinghuai was unhappy at his current job and had a group of subordinates at his disposal, could he perhaps start his own business? Once this thought surfaced in her mind, it spread rapidly like wildfire. However, after some consideration, she still believed that this matter should be discussed with Lu Jinghuai in person.
Lu Yuan sat quietly in a quiet corner, holding a thick book and reading intently. Sunlight streamed through the window, bathing him in a soft golden glow.
Liu Yuan, who was standing to the side, quietly nudged Qian Duoduo with her shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Look at your family, Lu Yuan. He looks like a quiet and handsome man! The saying 'He can bring peace to the world with his pen and conquer the world on horseback' is a perfect description of him."
Hearing Liu Yuan praise her husband so highly, Qian Duoduo smiled and replied, "Sister Liu Yuan, you truly deserve to be called an excellent Chinese language teacher! What you said really resonates with me!" Then, she confidently and without exaggeration added, "Indeed, as you said, Lu Yuan's ability to become the youngest engineer in the weapons research institute is inseparable from his daily diligence and solid academic foundation. If he didn't have such excellent knowledge, he probably wouldn't have reached this point. Furthermore, if one were completely ignorant of the field of weapons development, even with great talent, it would be difficult to stand out. Therefore, his achievements are not accidental, but well-deserved!" After saying this, Qian Duoduo smiled and nodded, indicating her agreement with Liu Yuan's viewpoint.
The two talked in hushed tones, completely unaware that Lu Yuan, though seemingly still engrossed in his book, had a subtle smile playing on his lips.
Not long after, two cars slowly pulled up in front of Qian Duoduo's house. Then, the car doors opened, and A Biao got out first. He then turned around and carefully helped an old man out of the car. Lu Jinghuai also got out of the car and hurriedly helped his mother out as well. Lu Heng was the last to get out of the car.
A group of people filed into the courtyard. Thirteen-year-old Lu Heng stared wide-eyed, curiously looking around at this unfamiliar place. Having grown up in a county town under Huainan City, everything here was new and exciting. When he followed everyone into the house, he was stunned by what he saw—a spacious and bright living room furnished with a leather sofa, a television he loved sitting on a cabinet opposite, and all sorts of other furniture and appliances. Lu Heng couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Wow, this is amazing! I've never seen such a luxurious arrangement before. It feels much more grand than the richest family in my hometown!"
Just then, Qian Duoduo stood at the door with a big smile on her face, and Liu Yuan beside her also had a big smile on her face, and it was clear that she was very happy.
As everyone filed into the house, Lu Yuan skillfully placed the book he had just been reading on the bookshelf. He gently pushed his wheelchair, adjusting its direction with ease, and finally, the wheelchair came to a steady and perfect stop beside Qian Duoduo.
Seeing this, Qian Duoduo quickly reached out and tightly grasped Lu Yuan's hand, her eyes filled with concern and warmth. Then, with a smile, she turned to look at Mr. and Mrs. Lu and said enthusiastically, "Uncle, Aunt, a warm welcome to you!"
Lu's mother returned the greeting with a kind smile and said in a friendly tone, "Duoduo, I'm so sorry to have troubled you two with this trip to Guangzhou."
Qian Duoduo quickly waved his hand and laughed heartily, "Auntie, you're too kind. It's more than our pleasure to have you all here. Later, let's go to the restaurant I booked in advance and enjoy some of Guangzhou's unique and delicious tea and snacks."
Upon hearing this, Lu's mother unconsciously glanced at her daughter-in-law beside her. Seeing that she did not show any sign of refusal, she nodded with satisfaction and agreed with a smile: "Haha, alright! Since we're already here, this old woman won't stand on ceremony with you anymore. I'll just follow the host's arrangements."
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Okay, then, grandpa, grandma, shall we go over now?"
Lu's mother nodded with a smile. Qian Duoduo and Lu Yuan walked ahead, while Lu's mother pulled Liu Yuan along slowly behind. She asked, "Daughter-in-law, are you really going to come here?"
Liu Yuan said softly, "I'm just going to take a look first. Besides, our family is doing well now, with Jinghuai earning money, but I can't just stay at home forever. I want to work too."
Lu's mother nodded and said, "If Duoduo introduces you to a good job, will you stay here?"
Liu Yuan glanced at Qian Duoduo, who was walking ahead, and said, "Mom, let's talk about this when we get back to the guesthouse tonight!"
Lu's mother immediately fell silent. To be honest, she didn't want to leave the county where she lived, but she felt that something was wrong with her son's family's life. First, her daughter-in-law lost her job, then her grandson was being targeted, and her son's work was also not going well. This was the main reason why she was willing to leave the county and go out for a change of scenery.
After having dinner at a tea restaurant, the Lu family gained a basic understanding of life in Guangzhou. Next, Qian Duoduo took them to visit Hui'ai Street, a street lined with arcade buildings. The pace of life of the old Cantonese people here broadened little Lu Heng's horizons. This place was completely different from the county town where he had grown up.
After the Lu family returned to the guesthouse, they gathered together. Lu's father, who hadn't said much, looked at Lu Jinghuai and asked, "Jinghuai, what do you think of Qian Duoduo?"
Lu Jinghuai glanced at Liu Yuan and said, "I met Qian Duoduo when Liu Yuan was working in the countryside. You know this, Dad. I met her after Liu Yuan and I got engaged. At that time, she was a student at an agricultural university. When I was in Xinjiang Province, she designed the vegetable greenhouse. She was very capable."
Mr. Lu nodded and said, "You can tell from her home today that she must be living a very good life."
When Liu Yuan saw Lu Heng looking at her, she smiled and reached out to pat his head, saying, "Qian Duoduo has a partnership with Yangcheng Garment Factory. The clothes I bought for you were mostly designed by Duoduo. She also sent me several dresses, the ones you mentioned that were particularly beautiful."
Lu's mother nodded: "Then she must be very rich."
Liu Yuan said, "Qian Duoduo's partner comes from a very wealthy family."
The rest of the Lu family glanced at Liu Yuan and fell silent.
