Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

This was a new guard, one Feng Qingxue had not seen, at least not among those she had encountered in the old chief’s home. She only heard Guo Ming asking, "Xiaoliu, you’ve come to see me—is there something wrong with the old chief?"

Xiaoliu scanned the people in the room and saluted respectfully, "The old chief has been coughing rather severely, so Secretary Zhou sent me to find you."

"I will go right now, right now," Guo Ming said hurriedly as he reached for his medical kit. "I’ve told the old chief many times to quit smoking, quit smoking; smoking damages the lungs, but he just can’t part with those few cigarettes. He really doesn’t take good care of himself."

Xiaoliu smiled but said nothing, clearly reluctant to pass judgment on the old chief’s actions or on what Guo Ming had said.

Such careful consideration was admirable.

Before leaving, Guo Ming instructed his wife, Mrs. Guo, "You know where the things I promised to give to Xiaoxue are. When you have a chance, hand them to her so she can study them thoroughly at home. There’s no need for formal goodbyes when she leaves the Capital—we don’t care for such empty formalities."

"Understood. Now hurry, don’t delay the old chief’s matters!"

After Guo Ming and Xiaoliu left, Mrs. Guo indeed fetched a wicker-bound book chest and moved it to the hall. "Xiaoxue, inside are all the medical notes your master could preserve, including those from his student days as well as from his practicing years. He has recorded all sorts of challenging cases and his experimentation and treatment methods. Take it and I hope you won’t squander your master’s hard work."

Feng Qingxue took it with great reverence as if receiving a great treasure, "Don’t worry, Master’s Wife, I definitely won’t let Master down."
