Qian Duoduo had thought that since Lu Hao couldn't come home because of training, at least she would have her three children with her. But now, her mood had become somewhat heavy. Lu Yuan told her that he intended to go to England as an exchange student. This news was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Qian Duoduo. She had originally planned to spend more time with her children, but she never expected that they would so quickly spread their wings and fly away to soar alone in the distance.
Especially when she thought about her son going to a foreign country and spending at least two years abroad, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but feel an indescribable worry: Would Lu Yuan be able to adapt to the unfamiliar environment abroad during these two years? And would she be able to bear the deep longing for her child?
Upon hearing that Lu Yuan was about to go to the UK as an exchange student, Lu Hao didn't hesitate to ask for leave from the track and field team and rushed home. When he stepped into the house, he immediately saw his mother busily packing Lu Yuan's luggage.
He strode towards Lu Yuan and gently patted him on the shoulder. Looking closer, he couldn't help but feel a surge of secret joy: back then, the four brothers were roughly the same height, but since joining the track and field team, thanks to a more scientific and reasonable training plan and persistent practice, he was now a full head taller than his eldest brother!
With a broad smile, he proudly raised his hand and placed it heavily on Lu Yuan's shoulder. Then, he lowered his head slightly, resting his chin firmly on Lu Yuan's head, and said with no small amount of boasting, "Big brother, look, I'm a head taller than you now!"
Faced with his mischievous younger brother, Lu Yuan felt truly helpless. Among the three brothers, the one who shared his interests the most was the third brother, Lu Jin; while the most naughty and troublesome was undoubtedly the fourth brother, Lu Yu. However, if he had to choose one of them whom he could trust with complete confidence, then without a doubt, that person would be the seemingly carefree but actually loyal and devoted second brother, Lu Hao.
So, Lu Yuan gently patted the strong arm draped over his shoulder and earnestly instructed, "I will be away abroad for two years this time, and I won't be able to be with my mother often during that time. So, when you are on the track and field team, you must take time to go home and visit your mother from time to time, so that she doesn't worry about us all the time."
Lu Hao released Lu Yuan and plopped down on the stool in front of Lu Yuan's desk, saying, "You should tell this to Lao San. I'm going to Australia for training in a couple of days to participate in an athletics championship in Sydney. I had to take leave to come here."
Qian Duoduo, who had been sitting quietly to the side, suddenly looked up when Lu Hao finished speaking. Her eyes were full of curiosity and concern as she asked, "When is your tournament? Mom will come to cheer you on!"
Lu Hao smiled and replied, "November 6th, but we plan to have a month-long closed training camp starting at the end of September. After resting back home, we'll go participate in the competition."
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo immediately picked up her phone and made a call. She spoke firmly to Yin Enxi about Lu Hao's competition, instructing her to arrange for the purchase of tickets for the semi-finals and finals of the Track and Field Championships, and specifically emphasizing that they must be front-row seats.
After hanging up the phone, Qian Duoduo put down his phone and said to Lu Hao with a proud smile, "Son, don't worry, the tickets are already being arranged!"
At that moment, looking at his mother bustling around, Lu Hao felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He suddenly realized that the mother who had once seemed so tall and imposing was now just a petite woman who barely reached his chest. Thinking of this, his eyes welled up with tears, and he whispered, "Mom, thank you for coming to watch my race. With you here, I will definitely give it my all and achieve my best result! When I win the championship, I'll run around the track draped in our country's flag!"
Hearing her son's words, Qian Duoduo nodded with emotion and gently replied, "Okay, son, Mom has always believed you are the best! No matter the outcome, as long as you have tried your best, Mom will always be proud of you!"
Lu Yuan and Qian Duoduo stood in front of the glass window on the second floor of the airport, watching the plane slowly taxi, take off, and finally disappear as a tiny dot. He put his arm around his wife's shoulder and said softly, "Let's go. The children are like little eagles, they need to spread their wings and soar. They'll come back when they're tired from flying!"
Qian Duoduo sighed and said, "I understand now."
Looking at Qian Duoduo's open-minded and composed demeanor, Lu Yuan chuckled and asked, "What do you understand?"
As Qian Duoduo walked, he sighed and said, "I understand the importance of having a son!"
Lu Yuan asked curiously, "Tell me about it."
Qian Duoduo said, "Son's homework is to train your strength, challenge your temper, give you unlimited courage, raise your voice, control your breath, seize your vital points, toughen your skin, accelerate your aging, and shorten your lifespan."
Upon hearing Qian Duoduo's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but burst into laughter. He couldn't resist kissing Qian Duoduo on the cheek and said, "Then you're in for a rough time, you have four sons!"
Qian Duoduo rolled her eyes at him and said, "Is raising a child easy these days? It's like launching a satellite. It takes more than ten years to ensure the accuracy of all the components and information. Once it's launched, the child gets into university, and then the satellite disappears into the vast outer space. Occasionally, it will send back some weak signals. Give him some money, give him some money, give him some money. You also have to build him a sturdy space capsule."
Lu Yuan finally couldn't suppress his surging emotions and suddenly opened his arms to hug Qian Duoduo tightly. His body trembled uncontrollably, so much so that it was hard to tell whether it was from laughing too hard or crying uncontrollably.
Qian Duoduo, who was being held in Lu Yuan's arms, clearly felt the tremors coming from Lu Yuan's body. She was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes helplessly and said coquettishly, "Oh, alright, stop laughing! Let's go quickly, don't forget there are two other people waiting for us at home."
Hearing this, Lu Yuan managed to suppress his smile slightly, but a faint curve still lingered at the corners of his mouth. He slowly released his hand, gazing tenderly at Qian Duoduo, and said softly, "Okay, let's go then, let's go home together." With that, he took Qian Duoduo's hand and they walked together towards home.
