Chapter 1267: Chapter 1267: Going to the Countryside 6 Chapter 1267: Chapter 1267: Going to the Countryside 6 The day after breakfast, Feng Qingxue saw the new “educated youth” arrivals.
Amid the blacks, blues, and greys was a hint of military green, all similarly dressed, their hairstyles not much different. Each had fair, radiant skin and brimd with youthful vigor, carrying the agricultural tools Wang Dachun had provided them, following behind the older “educated youth” as they looked around curiously.
Although they had arrived only two months apart, to them, those who ca earlier were the old “educated youth.”
They also watched Feng Qingxue, who was holding a child and watching the chicks peck at grass seeds, curious about the isolated house she lived in; a woman with such outstanding looks and aura had a mud-brick house instead of a straw hut, and next to it, a large building complex made of bricks and tiles.
“That’s the cattle shed, forrly the horse stable and servants’ quarters of the landlords,” the older “educated youth” Chen Yuan pointed to the large buildings and told them, then pointed to the mud-brick house, “That’s the ho of Army Commander Lu Jiang. The woman at the door is his revolutionary partner, Qingxue; she used to be a military doctor, retired due to illness, and was comnded with first-class rit, and had been received by the old leaders.”
Chen Yuan was eloquent, asured in his approach, and skilled in dealing with people, having already mingled well with so of the younger mbers of the Wanglou Brigade, learning most of the affairs of the brigade, so the old “educated youth” looked up to him.
Zheng Huihui’s eyes lit up, “Are you talking about Army Commander Lu Jiang?”
“Yes, do you know him?” Chen Yuan looked at her.
Liao Aidang also glanced at Zheng Huihui a few extra tis, feeling sowhat displeased with this new “educated youth” who always liked to show herself off; moreover, she always ntioned that her good friend Wu Xiaoxiao was the daughter of a deputy military commander in the Capital’s military region and that she had t many children from influential families.
Confronted with Chen Yuan’s question, Zheng Huihui nodded vigorously, “I haven’t seen the Army Commander, but I’ve heard of him. There was a big eting in the Capital this month, and the Army Commander was one of the delegates. He attended a ball at the big compound hosted a few days before I ca here, and he was the center of attention that day. The old leader liked him a lot because he was the youngest army commander!”
Of course, Wu Xiaoxiao didn’t tell her this.
Although they were good friends, Wu Xiaoxiao understood propriety and never shared inside stories of the compound with those outside; it wasn’t an official rule, yet everyone abided by it conscientiously.
Zheng Huihui heard it from soone else; she had gotten to know several children from influential families through Wu Xiaoxiao’s connections.
The incident of Han Aiguo embarrassing herself at the ball and then marrying a guard had beco a joke, nearly a frenzy of whispers in private circles. Out of curiosity, Zheng Huihui couldn’t help but ask a few more questions and knew the details quite clearly.
Upon hearing Zheng Huihui’s words, all the new “educated youth” looked taken aback.
“Wanglou Brigade actually produced an army commander!” No wonder the brigade leader was so arrogant, showing none of the warmth and geniality of the spring sun in his attitude towards them.
The speaker was Jie Hong; Zhou Zhou glanced at her, then looked down and gripped the basket in her hands.
Zheng Huihui said, “Of course, such important people, how could we usually have a chance to et them? But even if we can’t et the Army Commander, it’s good to have a relationship with his family. I heard that at the ball, the old leader also asked for a photo of the Army Commander’s elder son, whose na seems to be Xibao. Comrade Chen Yuan, is the Army Commander’s elder son nad Xibao?”
“Xibao!” A new male “educated youth” exclaid, “Is his na Lu Tianmao?”
Chen Yuan turned to him abruptly, “How do you know?”
The young man didn’t answer the question but instead stared at Feng Qingxue for quite so ti until she looked up and recognized those beautiful eyes; imdiately he ran over to her swiftly.
