Chapter 661: Chapter 0661: Receiving Gifts 1_1

The elder leader was very concerned about the lives of the working people, asking Feng Qingxue in detail what type of grain was the staple food in her hometown, what kind of oil they usually ate, what clothes they wore, the proportion of refined and coarse grains in their diet, the availability of supplementary foods, and so on. Regarding this, Feng Qingxue replied truthfully, after all, the living condition of Wanglou Brigade was at the nation’s leading level.

"So, the living conditions in your hometown are quite good!" The elder leader brightened, a hint of satisfaction on his face, "Huaibei City, I remember now, there was a document that came to me, it mentioned that Wanglou Brigade had not suffered a starvation death in several years, it’s the best news I have heard. How far is your hometown from Wanglou Brigade?"

"Our home is in Wanglou Brigade, located next to Hibiscus Mountain." Feng Qingxue was secretly surprised, surprised that the report about Wanglou Brigade actually reached the elder leader.

The elder leader was taken aback, "Hibiscus Mountain is where our heroes are buried!"

"Yes, you are right!" Feng Qingxue was even more surprised. If it wasn’t for Lu Jiang telling her, she wouldn’t know that the mountain to the north of Caohu was Hibiscus Mountain, and the elder leader even remembered clearly and knew that the heroes who sacrificed were buried there.

"Since you are from Wanglou Village, then I need to ask you about a person." The elder leader said.

Feng Qingxue glanced at Wang Xinsheng, "You say, I will tell everything I know."

However, Wang Xinsheng didn’t show any surprise. Although the elder leader knew that he was from Wanglou Village, he never went back after he left home, and the elder leader also knew about it, so he never asked him about anyone. To be honest, he was also quite curious. He wondered who was worth the elder leader asking Feng Qingxue about, even putting aside the actual business.

The elder leader tapped the side tea table with his finger, "In Wanglou Village, there is a big landlord, surname Lu, named Lu Zhiyuan. During the Anti-Japanese War, he donated a considerable amount of supplies for our troops. I personally wrote three IOUs for him, not to mention the ones personally written by other generals. I estimate that the total amount is quite significant. Of course, I have never met him, but I have written him two letters of thanks, reminding him that he can use the IOUs to collect debts in the future. It’s been two or three decades since then, and I have never heard of anyone from the Lu family going to the government to collect the debt using the IOUs, not even during those years. So, Qingxue, do you know this person?"

Neither Wang Xinsheng nor Feng Qingxue expected that the person the elder leader was asking about was indeed Father Lu.

As to what situation Father Lu was in, Wang Xinsheng couldn’t say it, in the eyes of outsiders, he had nothing to do with the Lu family from the beginning to the end. Now he was just meeting and liking Little Xibao by chance on the plane, and he just mentioned it casually in front of the elder leader.

Feng Qingxue pursed her lips, not answering directly, "I’m afraid that if I tell you, you will laugh."

The elder leader didn’t understand and said, "I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Please tell me."

"The Lu Zhiyuan you mentioned is not someone else, but Little Xibao’s grandfather, who is now living healthily, raising cattle and mules for the country, and taking care of his grandson. He is doing very well." Feng Qingxue thought for a moment, and then spoke.

The elder leader blurted out, "So, Xibao’s grandfather is your father-in-law?"

Feng Qingxue nodded and admitted, "Yes."

"This is truly incredible! I didn’t expect this, it’s such a coincidence!" The elder leader was both surprised and delighted, and patted Xibao’s head, "Little Xibao, now you are my little creditor, no wonder you ask me for flowers as soon as you open your mouth!"
