Chapter 243 - 235: Luo Zhigang
Tian Aiguo was delighted to see them when he got back in the evening, but when he saw those dozen or so jars of liquor, he was even happier. The liquor at home was even stronger than the local Er Guo Tou, and what mattered most was that it didn’t go to your head after drinking it. One could wake up the next day feeling energetic and refreshed. During the New Year, he had brought a few jars over, only to end up drinking just one himself, as the rest were taken by Commander Luo and several of his old comrades from the military. He had just been craving it.
"Good, this liquor is good. Qianwen, make sure you store it well for me. If Commander Luo finds out, I won’t be able to keep it again."
Xu Qianwen responded with a smile, "I’ve already stored it in the pantry," looking quite the capable housewife, completely different from when she was in Yuequan Village.
"Third Uncle, is Commander Luo called Luo Zhigang?" Tian Sisi suddenly asked.
"Yes, Ah Nan, how do you know?" Tian Aiguo was extremely surprised, unable to comprehend how his little niece knew Commander Luo, who was far away on the frontier.
"Hehe!" Tian Sisi chuckled, "I don’t know Commander Luo, but I know his father, Grandpa Luo. Grandpa Luo asked me and Brother Xin Hua to bring some liquor for Commander Luo. No need for you to worry about Commander Luo coming to swipe your liquor."
Xu Qianwen’s hand paused while picking up food, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she eagerly asked, "Ah Nan, you know Commander Luo’s father? How did you come to know him?"
The urgent tone of Xu Qianwen, completely oblivious to how goal-oriented her attitude was, dropped her chopsticks and forgot about her meal, staring intently at Tian Sisi, making it hard for the latter to swallow.
Ah, just when I thought Xu Qianwen had become more virtuous, she’s still the same, mused Tian Sisi with a shaken head.
"Third Aunt, we just happened to meet Commander Luo’s father and helped him with a small favor, that’s all. When Grandpa Luo learned we were coming to Jining for a vacation, he entrusted us to bring some items for Commander Luo. In fact, we aren’t that close."
