Family compound
"Grandma, Grandma, please, I really want to try it."
Li Wu shook Yang Yufen's arm. In the courtyard and inside the house, there were also Commander Liao and a tall, thin man.
“Aunt Yang, Li Wu is really talented and has excellent physical fitness. He can hold his breath underwater for just as long as people who have been trained. Although we focus on training, we will not neglect his studies. There will be a dedicated teacher to teach him academic subjects.”
The tall, thin man spoke carefully, trying to persuade Yang Yufen.
Yang Yufen was cooking at home, thinking that her child would be home from school later, but unexpectedly, Li Wu was brought home early by someone who said that Li Wu was suitable for some kind of training.
It was all kept secret, and they even had to take the child with them. The training location wasn't even in Beijing. How could Yang Yufen possibly agree to that?
Yang Yufen remained silent, but Li Wu had already been coaxed into submission, so he stepped forward and begged.
"Sister Yang, about this matter..."
Commander Liao was brought in as a lobbyist.
“I can’t make this decision. You all know my family situation. Neither of the children’s parents are here. All I can do as their grandmother is to take good care of the children. I’m just an old woman from the countryside, and I can’t make this decision. Besides, the children are still too young.”
"Grandma, I'm not a child anymore."
Li Wu opened his mouth, but Yang Yufen raised her hand and tapped him on the head with considerable force. Li Wu covered his head and shut up obediently.
“What Sister Yang said is only natural. How about this, let’s call the child’s maternal grandparents over to discuss it together. Xianjun and Xiao Qin really can’t be contacted right now.”
Commander Liao made the suggestion.
“Li Wu is at the perfect age. If he waits another two years, he might miss the best time. Just like learning martial arts, the earlier you start, the greater your future achievements will be.”
Commander Liao added a sentence.
Li Wu didn't speak this time, but shook Yang Yufen's hand, his eyes overflowing with longing.
"You really want to go? It's tough. You might not see your family even once a year, and what about your friends? Can you handle it?"
Yang Yufen patted Liwu's head. Grandparents love their grandchildren more, but when it comes to twins, Yang Yufen can't be as decisive as she is with her son Shen Xianjun.
Li Wu hesitated upon hearing this, but soon he spoke again.
“I don’t have my brother’s bright mind for studying, but I have my own strengths. Grandpa Liao and Teacher Gao told me that even though I won’t have any familiar friends there, I can still make new friends. I can also write letters and call home, and I will come back to see them during the holidays.”
Li Wu spoke each word earnestly, without jealousy or disappointment, but with a calmness born of genuine reflection.
"Then you should go and talk to your maternal grandmother and see if your maternal grandfather is home. If they both agree, then Grandma will agree."
Yang Yufen was relieved, and Teacher Gao was the happiest of all.
“Then I’ll go with Li Wu. I can also explain some of the details.”
Teacher Gao stood up voluntarily; of course, he wouldn't let such a promising talent slip away.
