Chapter 1002: Chapter 1002: Courtesy Demands Reciprocity 1 Chapter 1002: Chapter 1002: Courtesy Demands Reciprocity 1 Xiaoliu had always been accompanying the old leader, unaware of the situation, so when the old leader inquired, Xiaoliu imdiately approached to ask.
As soon as they heard that the old leader was just nearby taking a walk and could hear their words, he must be very close, so without any delay, Dr. Ding, Cui Shaoyuan, and the couple, Lu Jiang, hurriedly approached to greet the old leader.
Compared to a few years ago, much more of the old leader’s hair had turned white.
Feng Qingxue noticed it at first glance.
The old leader had an excellent mory, and he recognized Feng Qingxue with a gentle “Oh,” “Aren’t you Xibao’s mother? Where is the lovely Little Xibao? When did you arrive in the Capital?” He even squinted and looked behind Feng Qingxue a few tis.
“Xibao didn’t co with us. We have been here for over half a month, and today we ca to say farewell to our teacher,” Qingxue said.
Xiaoliu explained to the old leader on the side, “The teacher of this comrade should be Dr. Guo Ming. The other day when you had a cough, I went to find Dr. Guo, and this comrade was at their house.”
The old leader suddenly realized, “I understand now, you are studying dicine.”
This remark was naturally addressed to Feng Qingxue, not to the guard who was explaining.
With a pursed smile, Feng Qingxue said, “Yes, I’ve admired our teacher’s reputation for a long ti and didn’t pass up the chance once I got it. You’ve said ‘Study hard and make progress every day,’ and Xibao repeats this phrase daily; Tianhui has also started to echo it.”
“Tianhui?” The old leader rembered, “Xibao’s little sister, the one newly nad Fubao.”
“Yes! The na you bestowed upon her, Tianhui loves it. She believes she is true to her na, a clever baby.”
Lu Jiang let his wife talk nonsense without any intention of correcting her, even though her eyes were wide open.
Most of the ti, Fubao thought her na was Fubao, and only occasionally when asked by others did she rember her formal na was Lu Tianhui; she was too young to understand the aning of ‘Tianhui.’
The old leader listened with a beaming smile, “Xibao is smart and clever, surely her sister is no less excellent!”
With a resonant voice, Dr. Ding said, “Old Leader, you know Comrades Lu Jiang and Qingxue too?”
“Lu Jiang? Xibao’s father? This is the first ti we’ve t. Co let have a look at you,” said the old leader as he turned his attention to the man standing beside Feng Qingxue. As soon as Lu Jiang saluted military style, the old leader imdiately returned the salute and patted his shoulder, “Very good, tall and burly, a fine figure indeed, exactly how our border soldiers should look! Just by looks alone, you and Comrade Qingxue make a perfect match.”
Born tall and sturdy himself, the old leader seldom ca across anyone of similar stature. Most of the old revolutionaries were shorter than him, and during etings, he often had to look down at them, but today he had to slightly tilt his head up to see Lu Jiang’s face clearly.
Receiving this complint from the old leader was better than any other accolade.
Respectfully, Lu Jiang said, “You are too kind, old leader. We are just ordinary soldiers of the revolution.”
“We are all soldiers of the revolution, without distinction of rank or wealth,” the old leader replied, turning then to Dr. Ding, “Old Ding, you just ntioned a life-saving grace? I am still in the dark about it.”
Dr. Ding’s voice and tone were probably just as resonant.
“My little grandson got ningitis, and it was thanks to Comrade Qingxue, who sent a Bezoar Pill through Xiaocui, that he made a turnaround from a critical state. Tell , if this isn’t a life-saving grace, then what is?” Severe ningitis could be fatal, or it might not be, but the aftermath could leave a person ntally impaired, an outco Dr. Ding didn’t wish to see. However, he was careful not to touch upon the lack of dicine when he said this.
