Chapter 693 - 0693: Buying Second-hand Goods 1_1
When Father Lu returned home, he not only brought back the prized calligraphy of the old leader, but also photos left behind by Xibao at the old leader’s house, handwritten poetry and books from the old leader’s collection, and even bookmarks hand-made by the old leader himself. The old leader also gave him a box of his favorite Longjing tea, as Father Lu had engaged him in remarkable discussions on the topic of tea.
He certainly did... return with a bounty.
In addition to eggs, the old leader also left behind dried radishes, salt, beans, sugar, garlic, and asked Secretary Tang to buy a black fish from the supply department with his own ration for Feng Qingxue to boost her health.
Wang Zhengguo went empty-handed but didn’t return the same way. The old leader also gifted him one of his own calligraphy works, encouraging him to focus on production back home, and lead his villagers towards a better life. This left Wang Zhengguo feeling excited beyond measure, clutching his treasure all the way back home, showing off to his sister and niece, "I too got a picture taken with the old leader!"
The old leader instructed his staff to deliver a copy of the photo once it was developed.
Wang Fengqiao was initially afraid to even touch the items brought back but, after washing and drying her hands, she gingerly managed to touch them.
After hearing Wang Zhengguo recount how Father Lu had performed in front of the old leader, Feng Qingxue gave her father-in-law a thumbs-up. True to his idol, he had not only won the old leader’s approval but also paved the way for the future.
The money donated once was not of importance, the safety of the family was.
After such an encounter, what is there to worry about for the future?
