Chapter 1259: Chapter 1259 Coveted 6 Chapter 1259: Chapter 1259 Coveted 6 The old leader couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this, “Is the middle one quite mischievous?”
Because she didn’t want to share her birthday with her brother, she forced herself to be born later, only to have her wish shattered, which she found amusing no matter how she thought about it.
“The third child is simple and honest, and his nickna is Dundun, the fourth is both naughty and domineering, nicknad Xiongxiong, and the fifth child was born weaker and sicker, so we wanted to borrow the old leader’s blessing. Hence, we used the na Lu Tianxiu that the old leader had given to Xibao’s younger brother, with the nickna Zhuangzhuang,” Lu Jiang narrated smoothly. “Now, Xiaowo has grown up healthily, though he was born smaller than his brothers and still isn’t as big as they are.”
The old leader then asked about Dundun and Xiongxiong’s formal nas and after Lu Jiang finished, he clapped his hands and said, “All good nas, they must have been chosen by your father, right? Upon hearing such nas, I imdiately think of your father.”
“Yes!” Even if it wasn’t true, that’s what he had to say; there was no way to ntion those old folks sent down to the Wanglou Brigade.
The old leader then asked about Xibao, “Do you have any recent photos of Xibao? It’s been several years, he must have grown taller and bigger.”
“Yes, yes, but only from the beginning of last year, he went back to his hotown with his grandfather around spring and sumr.” While saying this, Lu Jiang took out a photo of Xibao on a horse and handed it over to the old leader with both hands.
The old leader’s vision wasn’t great, so he examined it closely before pocketing it.
“Just as I imagined, don’t mistreat him, educate him well, and he will beco another pillar of our society in the future.”
Hearing the old leader’s words, Lu Jiang readily agreed, “Don’t worry, he can now write many words, and he writes to you every year. You’ll surely notice how his handwriting is improving, getting better day by day.”
The old leader was taken aback; he hadn’t received any letters from Xibao in the past couple of years, although he did receive a few letters earlier, their handwriting barely legible.
However, the old leader didn’t ntion it and simply said, “Tell him to continue writing to , I’m looking forward to it!”
Those around who heard the conversation between the old leader and Lu Jiang felt a chill in their hearts, surprised that this young and promising army commander was held in such high esteem by the old leader; they couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
Attending the dance with his father, Han Aiguo couldn’t take his eyes off the scene.
“Dad, it’s him!” Han Aiguo’s heart thumped with a pulse he hadn’t felt in a long ti.
Han Aiguo was a man of his word, and the sound of his military boots tapping on the ground approached as he stepped forward in front of Lu Jiang, extending his hand, “Comrade, may I invite you to dance with ?”
The dance had already started, but Lu Jiang had no intention of joining.
He was sitting on the couch, chatting with Wu Changzheng, Zhou Xuecheng, Jiang Yun, and others, including General Lu, General Xu, and Fan Xiaohai. These gentlen were aging and felt they couldn’t dance anymore, so they were teasing Lu Jiang for being so young and not dancing.
Lu Jiang replied earnestly, “My child’s mother is not here, but if she were, we would surely join the dance floor.”
Feng Qingxue, coming from half a century later, would surely dance.
The implication in Lu Jiang’s words was crystal clear, he would accept no other dance partner than Feng Qingxue, others need not even think about it.
Wu Changzheng caught a glimpse of Han Aiguo and flashed a smile at Lu Jiang, who had a thought but before he could speak, he heard Han Aiguo’s words and saw her gesture.
It was quite normal for male comrades to invite female comrades to dance, but the reverse was much less common.
Han Aiguo’s action imdiately drew a lot of attention.
Wu Xiaoxiao, having just finished dancing with a leader, rushed over upon noticing, ready to put her hands on her hips and accuse Han Aiguo of being shaless, for knowing that soone had a wife and children but still inviting him to dance!
Everyone knew that Han Aiguo was looking for a husband; her actions spoke louder than words.
