Regarding Lu Qingqing, she wasn't at ease with the idea of an eighty-something-year-old person going out to attend activities.
Lu Dad, sensing her concern in her words, smiled and said, "Why wouldn't someone go with them? Your brother is with them, as well as his partner. The activity is taking place at a hotel near your brother's school, it's some kind of elderly calligraphy event, attended by retired teachers and government office retirees who are all in their seventies and eighties. It's a several-day event with food and lodging provided, and it's very lively. Once it's over, we'll have your brother take your grandparents and great-grandparents for a health checkup before bringing them back."
Lu Qingqing said, disappointed, "Doesn't that mean we won't get to see Grandma and Grandpa and Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa this time?
Lu Dad asked, "How many days will you be staying at home?"
