The boys are easy to placate, and the anger on their faces quickly dissipated.
Xibao curled his lips and said to the leading boy, "Zhou Chong, you should go and comfort this comrade I don’t know. We won’t bother you anymore, I’ll find you to play when I’m free."
Zhou Chong said, "Got it, we’ll play so ball in the afternoon. I’ll call Brother Shengli."
Su Jiaojiao was unwilling to let it go. She had finally t soone as outstanding as Lu Tianmao in every aspect, but Feng Qingxue and her son didn’t give her a chance at all. She was so angry that she stomped her foot at their backs and gave Zhou Chong a hard shove. "Who asked you to ddle!"
Which child from the compound doesn’t have a temper? Zhou Chong was also unhappy.
Seeing that you’re pretty and a girl, I stood up for you, but you don’t appreciate it, fine.
"Lu Tianmao doesn’t know you at all, and he doesn’t want to deal with you. You’re still clinging to him, aren’t you shaless?" Zhou Chong turned on his heel and left, calling the boys who had run over with him, "Let’s go play ball!"
Su Jiaojiao burst into tears and ran ho to tattle.
Feng Qingxue and her son paid no mind to Su Jiaojiao’s reaction after being rejected. Fubao then told her brother about Su Jiaojiao mocking her and what others said about Su Jiaojiao. "Brother, Su Jiaojiao is really bad, you shouldn’t play with her."
"I don’t know her at all." Xibao patted his sister’s head.
"How does she know your na? How did she get attached to you?"
Upon hearing his mother’s question, Xibao pondered, "Xiu Shengli lives in this courtyard, and I t him when I ca with Grandpa and Dad. He introduced to many kids from the military compound, including that Zhou Chong just now. Su Jiaojiao probably heard soone call my na. How she got attached to , I’m clueless. I t her for the first ti today."
Xiu Shengli is the grandson of General Xu. Back when Xibao made good brothers in the Red Wall Courtyard, aside from Wang Zhonghua from Wang Xinsheng’s family, there was also Lao Yi, grandson of Marshal Lu, Xiu Shengli, and Wang Zilong, grandson of General Wang. They have been in touch through letters over the years.
Feng Qingxue glanced at her son’s face, ’What a charming face!’
Even if he’s a handso charr, isn’t Su Jiaojiao a bit too young? What does a girl around ten even understand?
She initially thought the matter would soon pass, but never expected that in the evening, after finishing work for the day, Lu Jiang would run into Su Junshu, the old marshal he barely spoke with.
"Comrade Lu Jiang." The elderly man was exceptionally kind and pleasant.
Lu Jiang’s rank was already quite high, yet in front of the old marshal, he was still a junior, with an age gap of several decades.
Lu Jiang was very respectful, "Hello, old comrade. Is there anything wrong with my report at today’s eting?"
Wang Xinsheng, Marshal Lu, and Marshal Su jointly hosted this eting, concerning future military deploynts. During his report, Lu Jiang covered all aspects and received a round of applause.
Su Junshu waved his hand, "It’s not about work."
It’s not work-related? Does that an it’s personal? In fact, apart from occasional contacts with Su Junlin and Bai Xue, his family had no dealings with others. Lu Jiang wondered but showed nothing on his face, "Then, what brings you to ?"
Su Junshu smiled, "Your eldest son is called Lu Tianmao, isn’t he?"
ntioning Xibao, Lu Jiang’s heart tightened, "Yes, indeed, my son is called Lu Tianmao."
Su Junshu was even happier, "I’ve often heard from the old leaders that your son is very smart and clever. I’ve also seen the letters he sent to the old leaders, full of concern for their health. I’ve seen his photos too, at such a young age, he’s truly exceptional. How about we beco in-laws? I really like your Lu Tianmao."
