Chapter 894: Chapter 894: A Group of Masters 2 Chapter 894: Chapter 894: A Group of Masters 2 Upon hearing this, several people laughed at the sa ti, “Congratulations, congratulations, except for your eldest grandson, you’ve gathered the rest.”
The person who said this had a face full of envy, coveting the life of Lu’s father.
“Yes, the whole family is only short of Tianjun, but since he joined the army, he has to follow the military rules. Having grown up under my watch until he turned eighteen, I got tired of seeing him every day. It doesn’t matter if he’s not around. My darlings now are our family’s Xibao and Little Fubao,” said Lu’s father with a hearty laugh.
When Xibao and Fubao were ntioned, Lu’s father’s old face blood like a chrysanthemum, all opened up.
Old Xu sighed, “Ti flies, it’s been over three years since Xibao left. When he departed, he was fair and chubby. He hasn’t changed much in the photos you brought, how co he has lost so much weight now? Bring him to us for a closer look when you have ti. And Little Fubao, while I was working in the fields just now, I saw from afar that Tianzhi was holding her. She’s grown so well, it’s really amazing.”
Fubao was like a snowball or a carved piece of white jade, exactly another Feng Qingyun.
Lu’s father smiled, “Co to my house for dinner tonight and you’ll see them, although, you’ll only see them while they sleep.”
“Why is that?” asked a few of the elderly gentlen.
“Our identities are too sensitive. If the two children see us gathered together, I’m afraid they might speak carelessly due to their young age. So, we plan to have dinner and chat after they’ve gone to sleep,” said Lu’s father earnestly. “The children just got off the cart today, and they didn’t sleep much in the cart at noon. They will sleep early tonight, so it won’t delay our dinner.”
An old gentleman nad Wen Ruyu laughed, “Eating is a small matter, but I would like to et your son and daughter-in-law.”
He and Jin Ruochu had taught Cui Shaoyuan, who had arranged for them to be sent here. Before they left, Cui Shaoyuan t with them under the pretext of interrogating them, and secretly told them that he was sending them to the Wanglou Brigade because of Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue, the couple who were generous and influential in Wanglou Brigade.
Indeed, Lu Jiang’s social status was not good, but the old leader had decreed that no one was to bring up his social status issue again.
Secondly, Feng Qingxue’s uncle managed all affairs of the Wanglou Brigade, and despite Lu’s father’s poor social status, he lived well in Wanglou Brigade, which showed Wang Zhengguo’s character. After he t with the old leader, Wang Zhengguo’s words carried even more weight in Wanglou Brigade.
The third and most important reason, it’s not easy for a remote mountain village to produce an important figure. When one person gains power, it lifts up everyone around them. Even if that important figure has a poor social status, they are greatly supported by the rest, because when they face oppression from others with power, they can seek help from this figure. And out of respect for this figure, others wouldn’t bully them using their power.
Although Wang Xinsheng was also from Wanglou Brigade, he hadn’t returned for decades. It’s estimated that if he returned under a changed na, only a few of the villagers who knew him would recognize him, unlike the influence of Lu Jiang and his wife.
After much thought, Cui Shaoyuan arranged for the two teachers and their old friends to stay in Wanglou Brigade.
With their influence, staying in the Capital would have spelt certain death.
After hearing Wen Ruyu’s words, Lu’s father realized that the Comrade Cui referred to was probably Cui Shaoyuan. “You’ll et them tonight. Now that you ntion it, I’ve just rembered; I forgot to ask how they suddenly ca back.”
Military leave isn’t that easy, and for a couple to take leave at the sa ti, there must be so insider reason.
