Chapter 1276: Chapter 1276: Great Devotion 4 Chapter 1276: Chapter 1276: Great Devotion 4 The setting sun’s lingering glow fell upon his face, reluctant to leave, and who would bear to shift their gaze away upon seeing him?
Zheng Huihui pretended to stroke her braids, but actually brushed away the warmth on her face and said with a pursed smile, “I heard that the army commander’s revolutionary companion lives here, so I wanted to pay a visit.”
“You’re looking for my aunt?” Guan Yu was puzzled.
In the military family quarters, it was normal for the relatives of subordinate officers to eagerly visit; and back in the rural hotown, it was common for the locals to co and go. But for an educated youth from the Capital to make a visit out of admiration was quite unexpected.
Xibao heard from inside the courtyard and called out loudly, “Mom, soone is here to see you!”
“Who’s looking for ?” Feng Qingxue had just finished cooking and was washing the pot, holding a broom made of sorghum in her hand.
Noticing two graceful educated young won at the door, a flash of surprise crossed Feng Qingxue’s eyes, “You’re looking for ? What can I do for you?” She didn’t rember knowing them.
Zhou Zhou quickly shook her head, “Not , not .”
If it wasn’t her, then it must be the other one?
Feng Qingxue turned to Zheng Huihui and noticed that not only was she beautiful, she was also composed and carried herself with an easy grace, “Hello, Comrade Qingxue. My na is Zheng Huihui, I’m from the Capital. I’ve long admired your reputation. Since arriving here, I’ve been too busy to visit you. I hope you won’t take offense.”
Feng Qingxue oh’d and smiled, “You flatter , I’m not that well-known.”
She wondered to herself, had her reputation really beco so widespread? It couldn’t be so—she was self-aware that since her discharge from the army that year, she had almost faded from public view.
“You’re too modest. Your na is very familiar to ,” Zheng Huihui stepped forward and spoke earnestly, “Before I ca to the countryside, I heard about the army commander’s performance at the dance. I thought if I had the chance, I must visit you. To my surprise, the heavens have favored , and I’ve ended up in your and the army commander’s hotown, which is a great honor for .”
A thought stirred in Feng Qingxue’s heart, “A dance? Have you attended a dance at the quarters?”
She asked this deliberately because she knew that Zheng Huihui had no such privilege. Wang Zhengguo and Wang Dachun had told her that Zheng Huihui ca from an ordinary worker’s family in the Capital. With such origins, it would be difficult for Zheng Huihui to gain access to the quarters and mingle with the children there, unless she was exceptional.
Moreover, Xing Yushan had already told her about the issue of the dance involving Lu Jiang that Zheng Huihui ntioned.
The phrase ‘repay kindness with gratitude’ was vividly embodied by Xing Yushan.
Feng Qingxue never regretted helping others, especially when she felt happy receiving gratitude in return.
Zheng Huihui glanced at Guan Yu, seeming to have sothing hard to say, and Guan Yu imdiately spoke up, “Aunt, I’m going to give Dundun and Erxiong a bath. You two take your ti talking, and don’t forget to co back and wash Zhuangzhuang.”
“Go on, and make sure Tianzhi takes good care of Zhuangzhuang,” Feng Qingxue instructed.
Wen Ruyu and Zhu Ling were inside, teaching a foreign language as it was their turn today. Feng Qingxue didn’t want the two young won in front of her to see them, so she did not invite them inside.
Zheng Huihui, quite perceptive, imdiately began to relay the information she knew in a very low voice.
“Wu Xiaoxiao and I are very close,” Zheng Huihui stressed, sharing her relationship with Wu Xiaoxiao, along with Wu Xiaoxiao’s family background, “I thought that since you’re far from ho, you’d want to know about the army commander.”
