Chapter 688: Chapter 0688: A Merry Toast 3_1

"I’ve discussed this matter in private with Zhengguo." Father Lu said, "Although it’s indeed not easy to maintain, it’s better than having no reputation at all. Even if in some future year we encounter unfavorable weather and the harvest has some problems, we are prepared, and the government won’t really ignore us, the Wanglou Brigade."

Wang Xinsheng understood. He meant that Huaibei city would definitely ensure Wanglou Brigade’s reputation to garner attention.

As a result, the Wanglou Brigade would receive benefits that other production brigades could not.

Upon reflection, it did make sense.

Moreover, in Huaibei City, Cheng Baoguo could definitely have a say.

Wang Xinsheng admired: "Comrade Lu, it’s no wonder you’re so..." so smart, almost devilishly so, thinking so thoroughly.

Seeing their relaxed mood, Wang Xinsheng knew they must have kept something in reserve for themselves.

If, if Lu Zhiyuan had joined the resistance back then just like them, instead of choosing to stay at home to take care of his parents, then Father Lu would definitely have become the second Zhuge Liang. Unlike now, having to live in a cattle shed, always being miserable.

How could Father Lu fail to understand Wang Xinsheng’s thoughts? He gave a slight smile. "There are gains and losses, no need to worry."

He was already satisfied with his current life.

High positions have their advantages, but they also come with dangers. Ordinary people have their peaceful and tranquil lives.

"That’s what your saying, but it’s still such a pity! Really a pity." Wang Xinsheng said, "Isn’t this a waste of your talents? You, you are the smartest one."

Father Lu smiled: "Being smart is nothing, there are plenty of smart people. During the resistance period, what was lacking was courage. You had it, and I didn’t."

Xibao suddenly interrupted: "I have it!"

The brothers stared at him, then laughed: "What do you have, Little Xibao?"

"Grandpa, I’m smart!" Xibao patted his chest. "Bao, smart Bao, Big Bao! From Lu Family!"

The three words "From Lu Family" filled Father Lu with joy.

Wang Xinsheng couldn’t help but laugh: "This kid has a good memory. Those were words of praise from the old leader. It’s been a few days, and he hasn’t forgotten. I am not boasting about Xibao, but his teaching was really good. You can see his good upbringing in the details." He then recounted to Father Lu and Wang Zhengguo Xibao’s performance in front of the old leader.

The more Father Lu listened, the happier he became, and the more surprised Wang Zhengguo was.

"You’re something, Little Xibao. The future of our Wanglou Brigade depends on you!" Wang Zhengguo pat Xibao’s head, and the latter then puffed his chest in pride, his triumphant little demeanor displayed in front of everyone.

Father Lu said, "Xibao, starting from tomorrow, shall Grandpa teach you the Three Character Classic?"

"People, at birth, are inherently good. Their natures are similar; their habits make them different." Xibao chanted, clear and articulate.

The three brothers looked surprised at the same time, and even Qingxue, who was overhearing from inside, raised her eyebrows. She hadn’t taught Xibao the Three Character Classic. Xibao still had speech difficulties, and she had initially intended to teach him when he turned three.

"Who taught you that?" Father Lu asked him.

Xibao said, "Grandpa!"

"Which grandpa?" All the old people around him were "grandpas", no one knew who he was referring to.

Xibao had a glint in his eyes, "The grandpa with the patched clothes!"

Wang Xinsheng said, "Are you talking about the old leader? Did the old leader teach you? Only the old leader’s clothes had patches that he saw, and then Xiaoxue made a suit and two pairs of shoes for the old leader."
