They had all undergone background checks by Qian Duoduo, but she wouldn't tell the young couple about these things. The daughters-in-law and sons-in-law of the Lu family might not have powerful family backgrounds, but their character had to be up to standard. Gu Qi'en was quite happy to see her son and daughters-in-law being so loving, especially with the birth of her eldest grandson and the arrival of her youngest granddaughter. It did make her and Lu Cheng's retirement life a bit busier. Of course, he didn't need to help take care of his grandson all the time; he just needed to visit occasionally, play with him, and as long as the money was right, that was fine.
This is also what Qian Duoduo taught herself: doing too much in anything can easily cause conflict. Of course, you can't do nothing either. More importantly, it's about showing your sincerity and having your daughter-in-law appreciate it.
When Lu Jin's wife gave birth to twins, Qian Duoduo did the same thing. When her daughter-in-law gave birth, she chose the best postpartum care center and sent four postpartum nannies to take care of the two children. Her daughter-in-law didn't have to worry at all. As long as she took good care of her health, she would send some nutritional supplements from time to time, and her daughter-in-law would be overjoyed.
Gu Qi'en knew very well that she wasn't a particularly smart person, but there was one thing she firmly believed in. She felt that although she wasn't very smart, as long as she learned from smart people, she would definitely achieve good results. After all, Qian Duoduo, who could get into a doctoral program, couldn't be that stupid.
After decades of working together, she became even more convinced of this, feeling that her idea was entirely correct. The conditions when they worked in Xinjiang were extremely harsh, and Lu Cheng's health suffered, developing some hidden injuries. These health problems originally made Lu Cheng want to retire early and stop working.
Just as he was preparing to retire, Qian Duoduo brought him some medicine. To Lu Cheng's surprise, after taking the medicine, his body seemed to be rejuvenated overnight. His original ailments disappeared, and he felt like he had returned to his youthful state. He immediately told his older brother and father about it. After learning that his family knew and agreed to Qian Duoduo's actions, Lu Cheng remained silent for a moment and then kept the matter a secret. Because of this medicine, he was able to work steadily in his original division position and eventually even reached the rank of full division commander upon retirement.
In the next generation of the Lu family, Gu Qi'en's youngest son and Lu Xingjia's youngest son are both serving in the military. One is a battalion commander, and the other is a deputy regimental commander. They have both successfully taken over the reins of the Lu family in the military. As for how far they will go in the future, that depends entirely on their own abilities and efforts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the 2012 Olympics, Lu Hao completely gave up on his dream of becoming a soldier. Although he didn't give up, he was too old to undergo the high-intensity training of basic training.
However, through his own efforts, coupled with his three brothers' intensive tutoring and his mother's "Strong Foundation Plan," he finally got into the China Army Armored Force Academy, which he had always dreamed of. When he put on that green military uniform, Lu Hao burst into tears.
However, the moment he put on his military uniform, Lu Hao's agency contract with Xiao Qiangwei was terminated, and all his endorsements were also canceled. From then on, he was free of any ties and became a student at a military academy. Lu Hao was also a very hardworking student, excelling in his studies during his school internship. In addition, he had been cultivated into an all-around talent by Qian Duoduo since childhood. Even when he was undergoing closed training for competitions later on, he did not forget to study. Therefore, his ability to speak four languages and his outstanding computer skills, which he displayed in his first year of university, earned him the special attention of his teachers.
During his junior year of college, Lu Hao was in Jiangcheng, preparing to buy something for his mother, as her birthday was approaching. However, he didn't expect something to happen near a bank in Jiangcheng. He noticed something was wrong with the driver of a taxi near the bank. While calling the police, he carefully observed the situation and confirmed that the taxi driver had been hijacked, and the situation was extremely critical. When the kidnapper saw the police, he panicked immediately, displaying his knife. The driver's body stiffened due to the knife at his neck.
With the knife held to the driver's neck, the arriving armed police and special police were somewhat at a loss. After all, in this situation, there was no way to remove the dagger from the victim. Lu Hao looked at his position and noticed that the bandits' attention was drawn to the armed police and special police. He gently pulled a thin knife from his lower back, and after calculating the wind speed, hand strength, and resistance from the windshield, he flicked his right hand, and the throwing knife flew out smoothly.
The numerous armed police and special police officers present were shocked to see the taxi's windshield shatter instantly, followed by the driver bursting out of the car. The special police immediately rushed forward, holding the assailant at gunpoint, and discovered a small knife embedded in his wrist. The knife was positioned so that the assailant couldn't hold the weapon and wouldn't harm the hostage. While everyone wondered where the knife had come from, they saw the driver suddenly subdue a sports star, Lu Hao. After questioning, they learned that Lu Hao had been the one who shot the assailant.
Thanks to Lu Hao's courageous actions, the hostages were safely rescued. His heroic deeds quickly spread throughout the campus, and his classmates praised him highly. More importantly, Lu Hao was awarded a third-class merit for his actions, which was undoubtedly a high recognition of his bravery.
When the news reached Lu Hao's family, they were overjoyed, especially Qian Duoduo. When she learned that her son was safe and sound, a huge weight was lifted from her heart. She couldn't wait to fly to Hubei and only felt completely relieved after seeing her son safe and sound with her own eyes.
During a moment of reunion with her son, Qian Duoduo quietly handed Lu Hao a small jade bottle and told him, "This contains a life-saving pill. Although it looks insignificant, it can save your life in a critical moment. If you are really in mortal danger, take it without hesitation. It will at least keep you alive until you receive rescue."
Looking into his mother's eyes, which, though only in her fifties, were already filled with worry, Lu Hao's heart softened, and he finally nodded helplessly. After all, he knew very well that he was no longer the impulsive and reckless young man he was in his twenties. Now, as an extremely old student at this school, he was well aware of his parents' worries.
Just then, Lu Hao suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Mom, there's something I want to tell you." Seeing this, Qian Duoduo quickly nodded and replied, "Sure, what could it be? Tell me!"
Lu Hao took a deep breath and then slowly said, "I have a girlfriend."
