Chapter 1361: Chapter 1361: Return Halfway 2

Feng Qingxue said this because Lu Jiang had only taken a few days off; he certainly couldn’t interrupt his journey and return to the Capital.

After giving instructions, Feng Qingxue turned to comfort the elderly man to prevent him from remaining tense, fearful, and agitated, and also dispersed the onlookers, providing a quiet environment and good airflow for the old man.

The elderly man gave her a slight smile, whereas the middle-aged man accompanying him remained very nervous, sweating profusely from his forehead.

Standing outside and waiting for the train conductor was similar, continuously wiping sweat despite the winter cold.

Ping Zhengkai knew saving lives was crucial, so he could only report truthfully to Lu Jiang.

Faced with this situation, Lu Jiang couldn’t say no—human life is of utmost importance.

However, he was also uneasy about letting his wife go alone. He looked at Lu Tianzhi and then at Guan Yu, both unable to accompany her, as they had to stay home to take care of the five children while he was at work.

Ping Zhengkai, too, was not an option; as his personal guard, if he was to return to his unit, Ping would need to return as well.

For the first time, Lu Jiang regretted that the leave he had taken was too short.

If he had taken another ten or five days off, he could have accompanied his wife back to the Capital and waited for the old man to get better before returning to the military.

Now it was too late for regrets. Military discipline was strict, and he had to set an example by adhering to it.

"I’ll accompany Mom," Xibao, who hadn’t fallen asleep early like the triplets, quietly listened to Ping Zhengkai’s report and suddenly spoke up, "Everyone says I’m very good, Grandpa will surely get better."

Indeed, Xibao was a lucky star, blessed with unparalleled fortune.

It was confirmed that what the blind man said was true.

Lu Jiang instructed his nephew and his guard to look after Fubao and the triplets while he took his eldest son to find Feng Qingxue.

The patient’s condition had improved, and he was smiling as he chatted with Feng Qingxue.

"I’m already fine; it’s just an old problem. You don’t need to follow me, nor do we need to get off the train early and head back to the Capital." After hearing Lu Jiang’s instructions to Feng Qingxue, the elderly man, despite the middle-aged man’s attempt to stop him, spoke up, with kind and gentle eyes, in a very soft manner.

After spending some time together, Feng Qingxue finally remembered who the elderly man was.

Luo Cheng, one of the founding fathers of the country, had retired in the early 1960s due to poor health.

"Grandpa, you must obediently listen. If Mom says you have to go to the hospital, then you must go. Don’t be afraid of injections, don’t be afraid of taking medicine; I’ll give you candy," Xibao patted his leg, acting like a little adult, "My mom is very capable, you know. She has saved many, many people. We’ll accompany you to the hospital and only return home once you’re well."

All the elderly, upon seeing Xibao, couldn’t help but smile joyfully; it was inexplicable, and Luo Cheng, the elderly man recognized by Feng Qingxue, was no exception, his face instantly blooming with joy.

"What is your name, little guy?"

"My name is Xibao, my full name is Lu Tianmao, Grandpa, you can call me Xibao," Xibao responded generously.

Upon hearing this, Luo Cheng immediately looked towards Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue, "So, you must be Comrade Lu Jiang and Comrade Feng Qingxue, right? I thought Qingxue’s ’Qing’ was the ’Feng’ in ’Kaifeng’ and the ’Qing’ of a ’sunny day’."

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue both looked surprised, "How did you know?"

The middle-aged man standing beside the elderly man also raised his eyebrows in surprise, repeatedly glancing at the family of three.

Luo Cheng smiled faintly, "I have long been admiring your reputations. The youngest army commander— even if I wasn’t inquiring, there are plenty of people who would tell me; I just never had the chance to meet you."

Feng Qingxue quietly said to her husband, "This is Comrade Luo Cheng."
