Chapter 674 Lu Family Treasure 1
In early November, the old chief received the letter, a pile of gifts and the remittance that was returned without a penny being spent.
The old leader looked through it quietly and asked the guard to find Wang Xinsheng.
"Old leader, what do you want to talk to me about? Why are you in such a hurry?" Wang Xinsheng had just come back from outside. Before he had a chance to catch his breath, he saw Xiao Wang, the guard beside the old leader. He had no choice but to bring Xi Bao over with him.
Xibao jumped around and greeted everyone he met along the way. He was so adorable that you would want someone to hide him in your home.
The old leader was stunned when he saw Xibao, "You brought Xibao here?"
"Yes!" Wang Xinsheng laughed. "Xiaoxue's work was successfully completed last month. She should have returned to the army immediately. However, she felt that she was about to give birth, so she sent a telegram to the army to request a delay in her return. Fortunately, the child was born half a month early. Otherwise, according to the previous plan, she would have given birth on the train."
The old chief was very happy to hear this. "Is it born? Boy or girl? When was it born? Was it smooth? No one told me."
Wang Xinsheng also nodded and said, "It was Lu Tianhui, who weighed 8.2 jin when she was born!"

Xi Bao continued, "Sister, baby!"
"Big baby!" Xi Bao pointed at her nose, "Sister, little baby, baby is a big baby!"
The old chief and Wang Xinsheng laughed happily.
The old leader heard this and teased him, "What's your name then?"
"Sister!" Xi Bao shouted, her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. She pulled her fat hand out of Wang Xinsheng's and drew a big circle in front of her eyes with both hands. "Fat sister! Grandpa, fat sister!"
"Oh, it's really worth a thousand gold! It's as heavy as a thousand gold!" The net weight is eight pounds and two ounces, which is simply unheard of.
"Yes, it's a daughter. Fortunately, the birth went smoothly. She was born on the day you hosted a birthday party for the children of workers and farmers. I gave her the nickname Fubao. Since you took the full name, you should let me have the chance to name her, right?" Wang Xinsheng's eyebrows were smiling. "From the day the child was born, I asked Comrade Guo Yan to stay in Xiaoxue's dormitory to take care of her and her mother. Xiaoxue has worked so hard for so long, and I can't let her have no one to take care of her during the confinement period. So I'm going to pick up Xi Bao today and let her live with me for a few days."
"Come and take a look at these things." The old leader thought of the purpose of looking for Wang Xinsheng. "What can I say? Comrade Lu Zhiyuan kept the letter, but returned the money to me. The letter said that his son and daughter-in-law were very filial and never lacked living expenses. They have nothing to ask for in the rest of their lives. But my life is definitely not as affluent as his. The gifts were prepared by all the elders and villagers in their Wanglou Brigade. He has already paid the living expenses left to him by his son and daughter-in-law to the collective at the market price, and asked me not to send them money because I feel guilty."
"They are all sincere at heart, old leader."
The person Wang Xinsheng admired most was Father Lu. He had long expected that Father Lu would not accept the old leader's money. Even though the Lu family was raided many years ago, they would have left a way out. Now Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue's salaries were not low, so how could they not support a family?
"Yes, they are all sincere." The old chief touched the gifts in front of him and could fully feel the joy of the harvest.
Wang Xinsheng pointed at the sweet potatoes and laughed, "Sweet potatoes from my hometown. When I was a kid, the high-yield sweet potatoes were the only way to feed the folks back home. They were especially delicious when roasted over a fire, and they were also very sweet when cooked with rice! Seeing them now makes me feel very close to them."
