Chapter 409 A distinguished visitor 3

Seeing their expressions, Cheng Baoguo immediately smiled, looking very happy.

"Don't underestimate my mother. When she was young, she fought against the Japanese devils and worked as a female detective. My father is also a veteran. The two of them walked through the 25,000-mile Long March, climbed snow-capped mountains, crossed grasslands, and survived many life-threatening situations. When the People's Republic of China was founded, both of them were old and had a lot of illnesses, so they naturally retired and lived in their hometown. They didn't want to add burden to the country, so they only said that they were retired veterans and didn't reveal any other information."

Cheng Baoguo then sighed, "The situation in our hometown was very bad, and many people starved to death. The old couple came to me with their remaining dry food to ask for help, but they overestimated their physical strength and gave their steamed bread to a starving child halfway through the journey, causing them to faint from hunger. Good deeds are rewarded with good, and fortunately we met Comrade Qingxue, otherwise we, father and son, would have been separated from each other by the Yin and Yang."

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue were filled with awe; they had never realized that Aunt Cheng had such a background.

Feng Qingxue gave the remaining food rations to other children. She felt that she would never be able to do this in her lifetime and would never be as noble as the two elders.

"I'm very glad that I helped the two elders." Feng Qingxue said, "Although I never thought of anything else when I helped them, I was just purely saving people, but at this moment, I am extremely glad that I saved two heroes."

A hero who defends his country, a hero who sacrifices himself for others, a hero will not stop being a hero just because he gets old.

After hearing this, Cheng Baoguo smiled again. When he smiled, there were two deep dimples on his cheeks, which made him look less majestic. "Thank you Comrade Qingxue for calling them that. I think they must be very happy to hear that."

Before he could finish his words, Father Lu lifted the curtain and came in, "Ah Jiang, Xiao Xue, which distinguished guest is here?"

Cheng Baoguo stood up and said, "Second brother, do you think I am a distinguished guest?"

Father Lu was stunned, looked at him for a few seconds, rushed over to hug him, patted his back hard, and laughed loudly, "Third brother, are you here to pay off your debt? It's been decades, and a hundred taels of gold plus interest is more than doubled, right?"

Seeing this scene, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue were stunned.

Feng Qingxue secretly nudged Lu Jiang's arm and whispered, "It seems like this is another old friend of our father." What she wanted to ask was how many old friends Father Lu had that she didn't know about, and how many connections the old man had buried?

"We are just old friends and brothers!" The two old guys finally parted ways and sat on their own chairs. Father Lu's face was full of smiles of reunion after a long separation. He said to Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue, "Ah Jiang, Xiaoxue, let me formally introduce you. This is your third uncle Cheng Baoguo who left for a better career thirty-two years ago. There is also an uncle named Wang Xinsheng, who should be in the capital, right?"

The last question was asked to Cheng Baoguo, who replied affirmatively, "Yes, in the capital, the rank is general."

"They have different surnames, but they call each other uncle and aunt. Are they the three sworn brothers of Peach Garden?" Feng Qingxue asked, secretly surprised. General? He must be a revolutionary of the older generation, and he must have been through many battles.

Cheng Baoguo said to Father Lu: "Second brother, your daughter-in-law is really smart!"

"That's right. Look at whose daughter-in-law she is. People in our family would rather have nothing than the wrong one." Father Lu was very proud. If he hadn't liked Feng Qingxue, he wouldn't have sent a telegram to ask his son to come back to meet her. "My daughter-in-law is kind-hearted, smart and filial. She is a hundred times better than my son!" His son didn't react when he knew he had a sworn brother. How stupid!
