Last year, at the old village chief's house, his eldest son, who had been in the army for over twenty years, came home to visit. He happened to see Master Huang and discovered that he was Huang Zhenhua, a renowned military doctor who had served in the army. His wife, Gu Qingxiao, was also a famous female military doctor, whose medical skills surpassed her husband's. The couple enjoyed the honor of being personally received by high-ranking leaders, and their military achievements were numerous and difficult to describe.
The couple's two sons also held important positions in the military. The eldest son was the youngest army commander, promoted through the strong recommendations of numerous leaders, while the second son was a regimental commander. The village chief's eldest son told him not to mention Dr. Huang to the villagers. Dr. Huang's wife had passed away, and it was speculated that Dr. Huang's coming to the village to work as an ordinary doctor might be related to this matter.
Doctor Huang's son didn't follow in his parents' footsteps; it's said that his two sons also had sons, and they had no granddaughters. The old village chief thought to himself, "This girl from the Guomin family will probably be the one to take over Doctor Huang's mantle. With this background and this power, she's the only girl in the entire Huang family. When Doctor Huang returns to Beijing, this girl will probably go with him. She's truly a phoenix flying out of the mountains."
Those people at the Su family's old house will definitely regret it later. I just hope they won't drag the whole nation down with them. The old village chief thought this far and didn't think any further.
After chatting for a while at the old village chief's house, Su's father got up to say goodbye when he saw that it was almost time to leave and continue to the next house to pay New Year's visits.
When Su Xingran returned to her master's house with Wenwen, there were several guests. One of them was the town mayor, Zhang Hengyuan, and Su Xingran did not recognize the other three.
"Wenwen, you naughty cat, where did you beg Sister Xingran to take you? Did you bother Sister Xingran?" Aunt Deng asked with a smile.
Mom, Xingran and I went for a walk in the village. We saw a big yellow dog and a cat, and some aunts and great-aunts. They all said I was pretty and cute. Mom, I didn't nudge Xingran. I listen to Xingran, right, Xingran?
Su Xingran stepped forward and nodded. Yes, Wenwen was very well-behaved and obedient. "Uncle Zhang, Happy New Year." Su Xingran looked at the other three people, unsure of what to call them.
Doctor Huang noticed his apprentice's predicament. "Xingran, you should call these three uncles. They are older than your father."
Hearing her master's help, Su Xingran immediately replied, "Uncles, Happy New Year!"
Xingran, Happy New Year to you too! Grow up quickly! Several uncles also wished Su Xingran a Happy New Year.
Everyone had arrived, and the food was ready. Doctor Huang had also arranged for lunch to begin. The master told Su Xingran to go home and call her parents to come over for lunch.
Su Xingran thought for a moment. With so many guests, her parents must feel uncomfortable. Besides, her father had to visit several people for the New Year, so he probably hadn't come home yet.
Master, your parents are probably still visiting other people's homes for the New Year, several times over, so it won't be that soon. All the guests have arrived, and the food is ready. Let's eat now, before it gets cold.
Hearing Su Xingran's explanation, Dr. Huang agreed. The weather was still cold, and it wouldn't be good for the food to get cold. "Alright then, let's eat."
At the dinner table, little Deng Wenwen insisted on sitting with Su Xingran. "Sister Xingran, can I sit with you?" Her expectant eyes made Deng Jianjun, her father, feel a headache coming on. This little one had only just met Xingran, and she was already clinging to him.
Su Xingran couldn't possibly refuse. Okay, come and sit with your sister, but you have to eat your food properly.
Okay, I can eat by myself. I'll eat obediently. After I finish eating, Xingran-jie, will you continue to play with me?
