Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 1745: Red Plaid Skirt 2

Lu Shuai patted him on the shoulder, "Merits are merits, faults are faults. How can you claim no credit for accomplishments? If you don’t remember, we’ll remember for you." freёwebnoѵel.com

Lu Jiang’s achievements remain unknown to the public. Many of the tasks he managed over the past two years are recorded in top-secret files, including numerous missions of that special forces unit that are also classified, accessible only to senior officials of a certain rank.

However, several veteran revolutionaries present were well aware, so they greatly admired Lu Jiang.

With successors like him, how can one not be pleased?

Lu Shuai then turned to Feng Qingxue and said, "I heard you had an opportunity to go abroad for an exchange early this year, but it got delayed due to a secondment?"

Feng Qingxue quickly responded, "Serving the country can’t be called a delay. There will be many opportunities to go abroad in the future, but the country’s tasks come first. The medical exchange conference never stated that those who were invited had to attend."

As for the various preparations made for going abroad at the time, there was no need to mention them now.

Lu Shuai’s eyes showed approval.

In such an environment, they didn’t say much more and quickly changed the topic, no longer mentioning work-related matters. Consequently, Wang Xinsheng unconsciously brought up the newly acknowledged nephew by his wife’s side, Shi Guantao, "Guo Xia brought Shi Guantao to visit relatives and only then did we learn of this matter. Your teacher and your aunt were almost angered to death. If Shi’s parents hadn’t passed away, they would have stormed the house."

Dr. Guo is a loving mother, while Gu Qing is an unfilial son. It’s not that he’s bad, but his attitude towards Dr. Guo and his indulgence of his wife Shen Xiufen’s misbehavior greatly annoyed the Guo Family. Privately, they all called him an ingrate.

Guo Ming and his wife, along with Guo Yan, always had grievances against him. Discovering he wasn’t the Gu Family’s biological son naturally fueled their anger even more. Previously, they were cautious because he was Dr. Guo’s only son, feeling constrained in what they could say or do, worried about who would care for Dr. Guo in old age. Now that Dr. Guo’s son turned out to be someone else, a righteous and outstanding ex-serviceman, they wished to skin Shi’s parents alive.

If raised by the Gu Family from a young age, what kind of remarkable person would Shi Guantao have become? Gu Datou would certainly have successors, and Dr. Guo wouldn’t have had to face Gu Qing and Shen Xiufen’s selfish demands.

This matter also spread among all the major courtyards in the Capital, and Lu Shuai and Jiang Yun had heard of it.

Hearing Wang Xinsheng mention it, Lu Shuai said, "I heard he’s a comrade of Lu Jiang?"

"Yes!" Lu Jiang straightened his back. Ever since Shi Guantao’s background was revealed, Zhao Yong and Feng Qingxue hadn’t kept it from him, so he knew clearer than outsiders. "Back then, he and I were soldiers under Commander Gu. Because he was young, we took extra care of him. Commander Gu also gave his word then. Unfortunately, Commander Gu sacrificed his life, never knowing that Shi Guantao was his biological son."

This Commander Gu was, of course, Gu Datou. His nickname was too well-known; his real name wasn’t familiar to people.

Lu Shuai sighed and said, "Old Wang, this kid isn’t married yet, right?"

Wang Xinsheng nodded, "Guo Yan is arranging for him. Guo Xia entrusted this matter to us before she left. She’s returning to Beijing at the end of the year, and since Guantao works in the Capital, it naturally makes more sense for him to start a family here. If the partner is far away, they might not end up together. But Guantao feels he’s too old himself, has a heavy appetite, and isn’t too keen on settling down, fearing he’ll waste someone’s time and is not willing to find someone young."

"Take your time looking; you’ll find the right one. In the Capital’s compounds, if anything’s abundant, it’s women. Gu Datou can’t have just one son and let him really remain single."

Hearing Lu Shuai’s words, everyone laughed, quite in agreement.
