The next day was Saturday. When Xu Nuo went to Su Zhao's house to deliver something, not only was Chen Qingxia at home, but Su Minxiong was also there.
He had been in the army and knew nothing about herbal teas. Upon hearing this, he frowned and said in an unfriendly tone, "What kind of herbal teas can cure all diseases? We are now opposing feudal superstitions, and you are leading the way in violating discipline."
Chen Qingxia always listened to Su Minxiong, but this time she retorted confidently: "What feudal superstition? He's just preparing herbal medicine and using medical theory. I sent it to the provincial hospital for testing, and there's nothing wrong with it. Not to mention my dad's leg, he even cured our son's insomnia."
Su Zhao's insomnia started when he was young. Chen Qingxia tried countless Western and Chinese medicines for him, but they became less and less effective as he grew older.
Su Minxiong firmly refused to believe it, but Su Zhao spoke up and he began to have doubts. After all, Su Zhao had been outstanding and sensible since childhood. Although he did not join the army like Su Minxiong, he had excellent grades. This time, when the national college entrance examination was reinstated, he directly became the top scorer in the province.
Everyone in the army envied him, saying that like father, like son. Yesterday, when he returned to Luxian County, Political Commissar He chuckled and said to him, "Find an opportunity for the two kids to meet and have a meal together."
Commissar He's daughter, He Yingying, is seventeen years old this year and is said to be preparing for the college entrance examination.
Su Minxiong felt that the two families' children were a good match, and he was happy to arrange a time with Political Commissar He to invite them to visit Luxian County.
When Xu Nuo arrived, Su Minxiong was talking about this matter. Su Zhao listened quietly without saying a word, but Chen Qingxia was overjoyed: "Commissar He's daughter? That's great. Let Xiao Zhao meet her another day. If he's satisfied, he should marry her as soon as possible."
Su Zhao's eyes twitched slightly: "Mom, what are you saying? I'm not in a hurry to find a partner."
Chen Qingxia said, "Mom knows you're not in a hurry, but marriage is marriage and career is career. You can still develop your career after you get married. When you have a few children, your wife can stay at home and take care of them."
Su Zhao felt that what she was saying was getting more and more outrageous. Just then, a voice came from outside the door. It was the doorman's voice: "Director Chen, a young lady is looking for you."
Su Minxiong held a high military rank and lived in a military family compound in Luxian County. There were guards at the gate, and he needed to register to enter or leave. His family would then escort him in.
Originally, it was the Su family's nanny who went to the door to greet them, but Su Zhao didn't want to listen to Chen Qingxia's nagging, so he stood up and said, "I'll go."
"Hey." Chen Qingxia called out, but she had already disappeared. She said unhappily, "It's enough to take the things and pay the money. Do you have to take them home?"
Su Zhao actually brought the person to his home.
Xu Nuo originally didn't plan to go in. She had packed everything and was ready to take the money and leave, as she still needed to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.
But Su Zhao came out in a hurry without taking any money. For some reason, she said, "Comrade Xu Nuo, come to my house for a cup of tea. My grandfather also wants to meet you."
Xu Nuo waved her hand: "No need, you can give me the money next time."
The weather was slightly cool today, so she wore a long-sleeved white sweater, a black long skirt, black leather shoes, and white cotton socks.
She has bright, clear eyes and is very well-behaved.
People dress like that now, but no one can pull off her style with the same flair.
It's both cute and pretty.
Su Zhao suddenly spoke up: "You really are very different from before."
Xu Nuo let out an "Ah".
Did Su Zhao know the original owner of this body?
Su Zhao said, "We're from the same school, you're a year younger than me, and we even went to the provincial recitation competition together before, don't you remember?"
Xu Nuo genuinely didn't remember; the original book didn't mention Su Zhao at all. She dodged the question, nodding with a smile, "I remember, how could I not remember? I thought you didn't."
Su Zhao smiled and shook his head: "Let's go home, I'll get you the money."
Xu Nuo then followed him inside.
Chen Qingxia met Xu Nuo for the first time. She was stunned when she saw her. She thought she was just an ordinary girl, but she didn't expect her to be so beautiful.
She was exceptionally beautiful, possessed an extraordinary temperament, and even her behavior was dignified and proper.
Grandpa Chen was very enthusiastic, after all, Xu Nuo's herbal tea had cured his leg injury. He asked Xu Nuo a few questions in a friendly manner, and she answered them all smoothly, without revealing who made the herbal tea, and she also explained the wonders of the herbal tea.
"That comrade painstakingly researched and developed it over many years, but I'm not quite sure how it was made."
Su Minxiong was not good with words, so he didn't say anything after hearing this. He just drank a few more sips of the freshly brewed tea. The refreshing taste made him feel much better. He was quite surprised and couldn't help but look at Xu Nuo more closely.
The Xu family's daughter's looks and demeanor are in no way inferior to those young ladies from the capital city or Shanghai. If the herbal tea really was made by her...
It was Old Master Chen who guessed that the herbal tea was made by Xu Nuo. He had his own way of doing things, and he sent people to Lu County to inquire in secret, but they did not hear of anyone with excellent medical skills who was selling any herbal tea.
Grandpa Chen had a gut feeling that this herbal tea was made by Xu Nuo.
That gave me more patience to chat with her.
Everyone had their own thoughts, and Chen Qingxia was even more so. How could she not hear Xu Nuo's evasiveness and perfunctory attitude? She disliked Xu Nuo even more, but she put on a good show. She warmly asked the nanny to pour tea for Xu Nuo and asked her, "Comrade Xu, did you know Su Zhao before?"
Xu Nuo nodded honestly: "Yes, Comrade Su Zhao and I went to the same school."
Chen Qingxia knew this; she knew Xu Nuo had only a high school education. She was quite impressed with Xu Jin'an because, after all, girls who could attend high school were still a minority in this era. She then asked, "Is there anything else?"
She didn't believe it; Su Zhao wasn't the kind of person who would bring just anyone home.
For Xu Nuo, there was nothing else to say. She even knew that she went to the same school as Su Zhao from Su Zhao. Afraid that she wouldn't be able to answer if Chen Qingxia asked too many questions, she said, "We even participated in a recitation competition together before."
"A recitation competition?" Chen Qingxia thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Oh, it was the one in the provincial capital, right? Su Zhao won first place. Comrade Xu, what place did you get?"
How would I know...?
Xu Nuo felt she shouldn't have come to Su Zhao's house; she should have just given him the things and left. As she was thinking of how to make an excuse, Su Zhao came out and answered for her: "Xu Nuo got third place, which is also very good."
Chen Qingxia said "Oh," took a sip of tea, and let out a satisfied sigh.
When Xu Nuo saw Su Zhao come out, she got up to say goodbye. Old Master Chen warmly invited her to come again next time: "I'm an old man at home all day. Come and talk to me when you have time. Come often."
Unable to resist the old man's enthusiasm, Xu Nuo smiled gently and said, "Okay, Grandpa Chen, please take good care of yourself."
Su Zhao said, "I'll see you off."
