"Well, Xiao Lu, when you get back, take your son to the Cheng family. Go openly and ask for an explanation with drums and gongs. It would be best if the whole military compound knows about it. Maybe it will be effective."
"This... Old Chief, is this possible?"
Lu Cheng had never done such a thing. From the first day he became a soldier, he was instilled with integrity, justice, loyalty to the country and loyalty to the people.
He had always been straightforward and had never done this before, so he was suddenly at a loss.
"Old Chief, I understand. I will take Old Lu with me when I get back."
However, Ye Mei understood the old leader's intention and quickly agreed.
"You go first and see what happens."
"Hey, old chief."
At this point, Lu Cheng should have taken the children away, if it weren't for what his wife had just said to him...
"Just tell me what you want to say, Xiao Lu. Now that I've said it, we're not strangers, so you don't have to be restrained."
"Old Chief, this... You also know that my daughter Xiaozhi... has been in poor health since she was a child. My husband and I have been working hard for her health. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will not give up. However, after so many years, although Xiaozhi is still alive, she is still different from normal people. Can you ask Le Yao to help my daughter?"
Mr. He was sitting over there, smiling meaningfully.
Ming Leyao knew the old man well. Since he had been emphasizing that they were a family ever since Brigade Commander Lu came in, he probably wanted her to show herself to Lu Xiaozhi. Unexpectedly, Brigade Commander Lu was too embarrassed to speak.
"Commander Lu, you don't need to ask my grandfather about this matter. I can answer you."
"Then...Le Yao you..."
"Xiaozhi is a good child, and I also hope that she can be like a normal person, but... as the saying goes, every profession has its own specialties, and the same is true in the field of medicine. I didn't take Xiaozhi's pulse, so I don't know what disease she has, so it's hard to say whether it can be cured."
"Okay, okay, okay, it's good enough that you can help take a look. I... I won't force anything else. There is always a glimmer of hope, right? Le Yao, you can look at it boldly. Even if you can't see it, I will remember your kindness."
Grandpa He took a sip of hot tea, put down the teacup, and said softly, "Xiao Lu, what happened to me back then. If your father hadn't helped me secretly, I might not have been able to make it to the production team. Later... he used all his connections to put Lao Meng and Lao Li together with me, so we had a companion. We encouraged and supported each other and have come this far... I owe it to your Lu family. When your father passed away, I didn't come to see him off in person. It is a regret of my life that cannot be made up for, so you don't have to be polite to me. Tell me if you have any problems in the future. As long as it does not violate the original intention of our becoming a soldier, I will definitely help."
Ming Leyao didn't expect that Lu Cheng's father had such a connection with her grandfather, so her help was not in vain.
Fu Wencheng on the side seemed to be thinking about something. Ming Leyao pushed him and asked him in a low voice what he was thinking about.
"It's okay. I didn't expect that Grandpa and Brigade Commander Lu would have this kind of relationship. I'm just surprised."
Well, it’s just as she thought, they are worthy of being husband and wife.
"Old Chief, you are too polite. If it weren't for you, there would be no father. There is a cause for every effect."
"That's different. In that situation, everyone around me stayed away. Only your father was willing to lend a hand to help me. It was a big risk. I knew it in my heart."
Seeing that Lu Cheng wanted to say something, Ming Leyao quickly changed the subject.
"Captain Lu, let me ask Xiaozhi."
"Ah? Oh, okay, okay...Xiaozhi, come here, let Leyao show you."
Lu Xiaozhi glanced at Ming Leyao and showed no resistance. Perhaps it was because she saw with her own eyes that this sister had saved her and her brother, and she had a desire to get closer to her. She walked to Ming Leyao, tilted her head, blinked her big watery eyes, stretched out her hand, and whispered, "Sister, give..."
"Come, sit down."
He pulled out a small stool from the side and handed it to Lu Xiaozhi. After asking her to sit down, Ming Leyao took her wrist and felt her pulse.
This time, it takes ten minutes.
The left hand changes to the right hand, and then to the left hand...
The yard was silent and no one dared to speak.
Until Ming Leyao let go of her hand, Ye Mei hurriedly asked, "How is it? Leyao, how is Xiaozhi's health?"
"She has a congenital heart disease. It can be seen that you and your wife take good care of her. You must have spent a lot of money on medicine every month, right? And the medicine you bought was expensive, which is why her body is in such good shape now."
"Yes, yes, Le Yao is right. Xiaozhi has been using relatively expensive medicines over the years. Old Lu and I have failed to give our child a healthy body. It is our fault as parents."
"Xiaozhi's illness... you see..."
"It can be slowly adjusted, but it takes time. If you want to recover like a normal person, it will take at least half a year, and at least a year."
"Can...can it be cured?"
"Can."
She hadn't dared to guarantee it before, but now with the water from the Golden Lotus Pond, the success rate of this matter was 100%.
"That's great, that's great, Old Lu, did you hear that? It can be cured, it really can be cured."
"I heard it, I heard it...my daughter...my daughter can finally be like a normal person."
The couple jumped up on the spot excitedly, and even Lu Xiaozhi, who always controlled her emotions, couldn't help but have tears in her eyes due to excitement.
Who doesn’t want to have a healthy body?
She was envious of other female comrades in the compound who lived such a wonderful life every day.
"I will get some medicine tomorrow and come back to prepare some pills for Xiaozhi. If you have time, come and get them the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, we'll bring the money for the medicine as well."
Ming Leyao nodded.
She didn't say no. She thought that even if she said that, given the Lu family's personality, they would probably not agree. At worst, she would just charge the cost price.
The Lu couple left the courtyard happily with their two children.
Aunt Qian went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, and the old man stayed to talk with the couple.
"Xiao Lu is a very honest person with great potential for advancement. I am old now and I don't know how long I can protect you. With him around, you don't need to worry about anything else."
"Grandpa, are you doing this... for us?"
"Silly girl, grandpa doesn't want you to be bullied."
The old man patted Ming Leyao on the head and smiled very kindly.
"Grandpa, I'm here. I'll protect her."
"I know you have the ability, but Wen Cheng, at your age, it will take a long time for you to grow up. I don't want any accidents to happen during this time."
Fu Wencheng was silent.
Promotions in the military are based on military merit, but also on your qualifications.
The older you are, the more likely you are to be promoted.
He is indeed losing because of his youth.
