That evening, the couple lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) discussing Qibao's requests.
"Brother Yuan, should we go into the space and see if there are any research books for Qibao?"
Lu Yuan shook his head, "The books inside are not from this era, so it's inconvenient to take them out."
"How about we make a copy?"
"The source is hard to say."
Wen Moxue thought about it and realized that made sense.
Lu Yuan was silent for a while before saying, "I'll call Professor Jia later and ask him to lend me a few more books, and also ask if he'd be willing to take on a young apprentice."
Wen Muxue asked anxiously, "Do you intend to send Qibao to the capital?"
The child is still so young; she can't bear to be separated from him.
Lu Yuan knew she was reluctant to part with him; not to mention his wife, even he himself was reluctant.
"I'll ask Professor Jia if he'd be willing to retire here."
"Uncle Jia and the others are in the capital, and Old Master Jia might not be willing."
"Let's ask first."
It was getting late, so the two stopped talking and fell asleep in each other's arms, without saying a word all night.
The next day.
Lu Yuan took some time to call Professor Jia, told him about his seven children, and extended an invitation.
I thought Professor Jia would refuse, but to my surprise, he said resentfully, "Why did you only say it now?"
He had long planned to retire in Changhe Brigade. Back when he returned from abroad, he went to Changhe Brigade and stayed there for a while.
Those were the most comfortable days of his life. He ate well, slept soundly, and felt completely relaxed and at ease.
Later, after returning to Kyoto, he missed the days of the Nagakawa Brigade very much. However, his son and grandson were both in Kyoto, and he wanted to make up for the love he had missed over the years, so he stayed in Kyoto.
He had been wanting to stay at Changhe Brigade for a while, and he had mentioned it several times, both openly and secretly, saying that he wanted to visit his granddaughter's family. However, his son and grandson's family were worried about him being alone, and he didn't want to trouble the younger generation, so he had to give up on the idea.
Now that Lu Yuan has brought this up, he took the opportunity to make his own request.
"I can go back, but you have to send someone to pick me up."
“No problem, I’ll have Yuan Chao make the trip himself later.” Lu Yuan readily agreed.
However, he was a little worried that the Jia family would disagree.
“Professor Jia, we’re not in a rush. I need to discuss this with Uncle Jia and Aunt Lu.”
Professor Jia wanted to say that there was no need to discuss it, but then he thought that he really needed his son and daughter-in-law's consent, so he said, "Okay, then you should tell them as soon as possible."
After Lu Yuan had secured Professor Jia's favor, he immediately called Jia Mingquan's workplace.
He told Professor Jia about his request, and Jia Mingquan readily agreed.
“As long as my dad has no objections, we naturally have no objections either.”
Lu Yuan was surprised again. Was he really that easy to talk to?
In fact, if anyone else had brought this up today, Jia Mingquan would have hesitated, or even refused.
He wouldn't feel at ease leaving his elderly father, who had finally returned home, under his watchful eye.
But this person is Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan's kindness to them is greater than anything else. If it weren't for Lu Yuan's secret help all those years, their family probably wouldn't have been able to survive together.
At least his little granddaughter is unlikely to survive.
It can be said that Lu Yuan saved their family's life.
His father was also able to return to China safely thanks to Lu Yuan.
Given all the kindness shown to him, he wouldn't hesitate to send his father to help, or even have his whole family serve Lu Yuan like slaves.
After finalizing the matter with Professor Jia, Lu Yuan went to Lu Yuanchao to ask him to make a trip to Kyoto.
"Really, Brother Yuan, are you saying my wife's grandfather agreed to come and live with us in our brigade?"
Lu Yuan corrected, "It's because my Qibao needs a great teacher, so I asked Professor Jia to come out of retirement. He can also retire in our village."
“That’s great! My wife will be so happy if she knows Grandpa is coming.”
“You drive there, and I’ll have Wen Gang arrange for a few people to go with you.”
Although Professor Jia has retired, he is still an important scientific research talent, and we still need to arrange for someone to ensure his safety.
"Okay, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Lu Yuanchao saluted with a grin.
The day after Lu Yuanchao happily went to pick up Old Jia, Cheng Yanqiu once again brought the big boss from Gangcheng and his family to Changhe Brigade.
This time, it was the Shi family and the Li family who came; no, to be precise, it was two families.
Key members of both the Shi and Li families have arrived.
Mr. Shi's father has passed away, but his mother is still alive, and he has two brothers.
None of the three brothers have had a son.
This time, Boss Shi not only brought his elderly mother and wife, but also his two brothers and their respective wives. It was quite a large family.
The Li family's members were relatively simple: Mr. Li, his elderly and frail grandfather, a young man who looked very much like him, and another young and beautiful woman.
Lu Yuan initially thought the girl was Mr. Li's son's girlfriend, but later, seeing her close to Cheng Yanqiu and hearing the introduction, he learned that she was Mr. Li's younger sister.
At the age of twenty-two or twenty-three, in an era where red dresses and brightly colored clothes are popular, a white long dress makes her look youthful and pure, as if she hasn't been tainted by the world.
Lu Yuan winked at Cheng Yanqiu, thinking, "An old cow eating young grass!"
To everyone's surprise, this guy actually blushed.
Holy crap, he hasn't even said anything yet, why is this grown man blushing?
It seems he really has fallen for worldly desires.
There was no time for gossip; Lu Yuan warmly welcomed the two families. He first took them to the villa area and arranged for them to stay in two adjacent villas.
The villa had pre-trained reception staff, three men and three women, all dressed in matching white shirts, dark blue suit pants, and leather shoes. They were all good-looking and pleasing to the eye.
From the moment Mr. Li's son arrived at the villa, his gaze kept sweeping over the three female receptionists.
Everyone was busy exchanging pleasantries, and no one noticed this.
After settling the Shi and Li families, Lu Yuancai left with Cheng Yanqiu and his men.
He arranged for them to stay at Lu Xiaojun's villa.
Lu Xiaojun lived alone in the villa, but Cheng Yanqiu, along with his assistant and bodyguards, all lived there comfortably.
"Are you about to have some good news?" Lu Yuan asked gossipily.
Cheng Yanqiu's ears quickly turned red.
Lu Yuanzhen couldn't stand this about him; a man in his thirties was actually playing these tricks on him.
Cheng Yanqiu denied it, "No, I just treat her like a younger sister!"
Lu Yuan thought to himself, "If you really treated her like a sister, you wouldn't act like this!"
"Tch, don't tell me it's your sister!"
"Don't talk nonsense, it's not good to ruin the girl's reputation!" Cheng Yanqiu hurriedly said.
Lu Yuan just wanted to roll his eyes at him.
"I say, Mr. Cheng, do you still remember your former identity? You are an overseas Chinese who returned from the United States. What about the openness and uninhibitedness of the people of the United States?"
Boss Cheng solemnly corrected him, "I am Chinese!"
