Chapter 1366: Chapter 1366: Return to the Military 1

Feng Qingxue had intended to buy same-day tickets to return to the unit with Xibao, yet the revered elder leader was concerned about Luo Cheng’s condition and wished to visit him personally.

Not only did he wish to visit in person, but he also asked to bring both mother and son along with him.

If they were to go, it would be nothing but beneficial for her family; there would only be great advantages.

Moreover, Feng Qingxue greatly admired the founding generals who had emerged from the hail of bullets, and seeing one more was a blessing to her. In several decades, this would become a boastful heritage for her descendants.

When the revered elder leader left the house, the entourage wasn’t very large, but the protection was impermeable.

Thanks to the elder leader, Feng Qingxue and her son Xibao rode in the elder’s car to the hospital, where the person in charge of the hospital, Luo Cheng’s chief physician Lian Fengguo, Lu Shuai who was guarding Luo Cheng, and the guards had already received the news and came out to greet them personally.

Snow had fallen all night and had yet to stop, though the intensity had lessened somewhat.

The elder leader did not wish to cause a big commotion and quickly entered Luo Cheng’s ward with the assistance of Feng Qingxue’s arm and Xibao’s shoulder.

Luo Cheng was awake, propped up by pillows and reading a book. Upon seeing the senior leader, he immediately tried to get out of bed but was gently held down by the elder, "There’s no need to get up with your health in this state. I just came to see how you are. What do the doctors say?"

Lian Fengguo, who had been following, quickly replied, "He still needs to be observed for a few days."

As for the specifics of Luo Cheng’s condition and his heart, Lian Fengguo did not mention a word. Many issues were due to old age or past hidden injuries, which needn’t be mentioned repeatedly in front of the elder leader. Lian believed that Wang Xinsheng must have already informed the leader about anything important. Bringing it up again would be pointless.

"Exactly, they just want me to stay in the hospital for a few more days of observation," Luo Cheng added. "I said it wasn’t necessary, but they won’t agree to discharge me; they insist I stay. Isn’t this a waste of national resources?"

"How can this be considered a waste? Listen to yourself," the elder leader retorted.

Not only the elder leader said so, but also Wang Xinsheng and Lu Shuai, who had followed him, along with Feng Qingxue and Xibao, who nodded in agreement; especially Xibao, whose head bobbed particularly quickly.

In the ward, there was only one child, with rosy cheeks that were irresistible to all who saw him.

Seeing Xibao brought a special joy to Luo Cheng, with his eyebrows raising in a smile. Regretfully, Xibao’s shoulder was the support for the elder leader’s cane, and he could not beckon Xibao over, "Xibao, you’ve come to see me again. You and your mother really took the trouble yesterday."

"It wasn’t troublesome at all, Grandpa Luo. Are you feeling better?" Xibao asked.

"Much better, thanks to your mother’s help," Luo Cheng replied, having been told by Lian Fengguo about his condition and also having enjoyed the candy that Xibao had asked to be given to him. "Besides, the candy is very sweet. Thank you, child."

Xibao waved his hand dismissively, "No need to thank me, Grandpa Luo. It seems you’ve been very good!"

Those in the know laughed, and those who weren’t grew curious, including the revered elder leader who asked what was going on.

Cao Hong, who had been by Luo Cheng’s side from the beginning, smiled and recounted the events concerning taking medication obediently and the candy to the elder leader.

By this time, a chair had been brought over, and when the elder leader conveniently sat down, Feng Qingxue and Xibao no longer needed to serve as his support. They stood behind the elder leader, listening to the conversation between him and Luo Cheng, which revolved around Luo Cheng’s health.

"The weather is so cold. You should head back soon, senior leader. When I’m better, I’ll come to see you," Luo Cheng said.

Wang Xinsheng, Lu Shuai, and others also urged the elder leader to leave. Resigned to their advice, the leader said, "Alright, I will head back first. You must cooperate with the doctors and get proper treatment; we still have to have tea and chat together."

"Absolutely, definitely!" Luo Cheng promised.
