Lu Baiwei really couldn't understand why Liu Cuifang wanted to harm Feng Shishi who had always been sacrificing for her?
Their relationship is so good.
Lu Baiwei sat in the jeep, thinking deeply. She was so taciturn, completely different from the impression Su had when he saw her last time at school.
Mr. Su thought she was nervous, so he spoke to Lu Baiwei in a gentle voice: "Comrade Xiao Lu, don't worry, don't be nervous."
"The person who wants you to see is an old revolutionary comrade. He is very easy-going. Just treat him as if he were treating a patient in the countryside. Treat him as you would."
Lu Baiwei was fine, she was not nervous at all.
But she couldn't say it because she was distracted just now.
Realizing that she had been too silent since getting in the car, Lu Baiwei felt that it was good that she was nervous even though Mr. Su misunderstood her.
She smiled and responded: "Okay, thank you Grandpa Su."
Lu Baiwei was thinking about things all the way and didn't remember the way outside. She didn't know if the car drove to the suburbs.
In short, the jeep went through many twists and turns in the alley, finally passed a sentry box, passed a lake, and stopped in front of an old blue brick house.
Walking around the screen wall, the house is decorated in an antique style, but the furniture inside is very simple.
An old comrade was sitting in a rocking chair under a tree reading a newspaper. He looked up when he heard the noise.
"Comrade Su, you are here!"
He stood up and said, "Is this Xiao Lu, the one you said would come to treat me?"
"It's her. Her medical skills were passed down from Tang Jingzhong. Doctor Tang Jingzhong was famous in our army for his massage and bone-setting skills. Comrade Lu is studying at the Medical Department of Kyoto University. I saw her when I went to Kyoto University for work last time, so I wanted to ask her to come over to check your back injury."
"Who hasn't been to the battlefield and still has injuries? It's hard for you to worry about my affairs."
"You haven't eaten yet at this time? I'll ask the chef to make two more dishes. You and Xiao Lu can eat with me."
Lu Baiwei always felt that the old comrade in front of her looked a little familiar, a bit like the well-known person she often saw in her previous life.
But the position of that old comrade should be something that even Mr. Su cannot reach.
What's more, the old comrade in front of me is so approachable.
When Lu Baiwei saw his amiable appearance, she thought of her grandfather Tang Jingzhong. She thought that her grandfather was also such an easy-going person when he was alive.
Seeing him preparing to ask his family to add more food, Lu Baiwei hurriedly advised him: "Grandpa, there is no rush to eat. Let me check your back injury first."
"It's not appropriate to check your back injury after you've eaten."
When the old comrade heard Lu Baiwei calling him grandpa, he was stunned for a moment.
Then he laughed out loud: "Yes, you can call me grandpa, my grandson is about the same age as you."
The old comrade ordered the officer beside him: "Go and ask the kitchen to add two more dishes, and let Comrade Su and Comrade Xiao Lu stay for dinner later."
When he said that his grandson was about the same age as Lu Baiwei, he glanced at the officer next to him.
Lu Baiwei thought the officer was his grandson.
However, the man who went to the kitchen to instruct the family to cook looked very mature and should be older than her.
Maybe, some people look too calm!
Old Su asked her to follow him into the house to check on the old comrade's injuries. Lu Baiwei didn't think much about it and trotted in with the medicine box.
The portable medicine box was brought to Kyoto by Lu Baiwei from the countryside. It was used by my grandfather Tang Jingzhong when he was young.
When the jeep passed by He's house, she ran into the house and got on the car.
Lu Baiwei put the medicine box on the table, and the old comrade looked at her medicine box with interest.
“This box is quite old.”
"Yes, my grandfather used it when he was a battlefield doctor when he was young."
"I'm going to check your waist. Lie down now, Grandpa."
The old comrade cooperated and lay down, and even sprawled on the bed as requested by Lu Baiwei.
When Lu Baiwei examined his back injury, he spoke to Mr. Su who was waiting beside him: "Only classmate Lu can give me orders. I must always obey the doctor."
"Ouch, it hurts. This is a painful spot."
While pressing, Lu Baiwei instructed, "Okay, tell me where it hurts."
After checking the pain points of his old injury, the old comrade asked Lu Baiwei: "Comrade Xiao Lu, can my injury still be cured?"
"It's just my old waist injury. It doesn't matter if it can't be cured. You can prescribe some of that medicated oil. I heard from Elder Su that the medicated oil your grandfather prepared is very effective in treating injuries from falls."
"Grandpa, your back injury won't be cured by just applying medicated oil. You need special massage techniques."
"Well, I'll give you a massage now, and then I'll give you acupuncture to relieve the pain."
Lu Baiwei told him: "Your back injury is a bit tricky. It will definitely not be cured after one or two treatments. After taking medicine and acupuncture, it will take at least two or three months to fully heal."
Hearing Lu Baiwei's words, the old comrade was obviously stunned.
After a pause, he praised Lu Baiwei: "It's a good thing for young people to have confidence. I will listen to the doctor. You just treat it. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work."
"Grandpa, cooperate with me and this back injury can be cured."
Lu Baiwei first gave her a massage. After a set of massage techniques passed down by Tang Zhongjing, the pain in the old comrade's waist and abdomen was significantly relieved.
Then Lu Baiwei inserted silver needles into him, and then lifted and pinched the needles and twisted them gently and slowly.
The needle must be left in for forty minutes after the acupuncture. The old comrade was chatting with Mr. Su, and Lu Baiwei didn't know how to respond, so she could only pick up the newspaper that the old comrade had placed on the table and read it.
Lu Baiwei was reading an article on foreign economics with great concentration.
After the old comrade finished chatting with Su Lao, he looked at her and said, "Comrade Xiao Lu, do you like reading newspapers too?"
"The foreign economy is very developed. What do you think of this?"
"Do you think our country should learn from others to develop its economy?"
Lu Baiwei: “…”
This kind of thing is not easy to talk about, right?
Seeing Lu Baiwei hesitate, Mr. Su encouraged her.
"Xiao Lu, just say whatever you want to say. You can speak freely in front of old comrades and express your opinions behind closed doors."
Since I came to Kyoto, the atmosphere has become more and more open-minded, especially the atmosphere at Kyoto University, which seems to be in line with international standards.
The economics department where He Ting and Shen Junqian are located obviously has very advanced views and is in line with international standards.
Lu Baiwei is not a shy person.
She held up the newspaper and expressed her own views: "I remember there is a saying in Lu Xun's "Taking What Is" that says, 'take the essence and discard the dross.'"
"I think this view can also be applied to economic development. We can learn from the good aspects of capitalist countries and develop the economy to improve the living standards of our people."
"As for their bad side, we won't learn from them."
After Lu Baiwei said this, the old comrade fell silent.
Mr. Su was a little nervous at the side. The old comrade nodded and said, "Comrade Xiao Lu, you are very forward-looking. Your point of view is very good and makes sense."
"I was just talking nonsense."
Lu Baiwei was embarrassed by his praise, and she explained: "My husband is a student in the Department of Economics at Kyoto University. I have read their English textbooks and found some articles about foreign economic development in them."
"I just said that. I'm showing off my skills in front of you."
