Chapter 326: A single spark can start a prairie fire!

Compared to Old Master Lu's carefree nature, Old Master Pei didn't dare to return to the cadre retirement home, but continued to live in the second bedroom.

But using the excuse of back pain and not being able to take care of his granddaughter at night, he threw the little one to his granddaughter and her husband to take care of at night.

He had to keep an eye on this family.

Otherwise, the unreliable temperament of his granddaughter's husband would be a headache!

Lu Xiu Bai, who didn't know he was being "watched," was playing with his daughter.

He leaned against the head of the bed, holding the little one with both hands, letting her step back and forth on his stomach.

"Giggle, giggle."

The little one let out a happy laugh, clearly liking this game.

"Alright, alright, what time is it? Hurry up and coax Lian Lian to sleep; we all have to go to work tomorrow."

Pei Yan Ting was on her second pregnancy. With the memory of the first one, she would definitely work until the early stages of her maternity leave.

"Yes, yes, yes. Lian Lian, did you hear that? Your mother wants us all to sleep."

"Giggle, giggle."

Lian Lian understood, lay down along her father's arm, then grabbed her father's palm with one hand and her mother's palm with the other, yawning cooperatively.

"Little slippery head, you're the smart one."

Pei Yan Ting kissed her daughter's cheek. It was so tender; it was fortunate they were on the Sea Island, where the winter temperature was moderate.

If this were in the Capital, the little one wouldn't be able to expose her hands and feet at all.

The winter nights in the Capital were exceptionally hard to endure.

Speaking of which, she didn't know how Yao Yao was doing. She would find time to send her a telegram to see how she was developing in her unit.

And, in her private life, had she found a suitable partner?

Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have reached the age where she could understand both sides.

Hmm, old?

"Wife, I'm turning off the lights."

"Hmm, turn them off. Sleep. Whatever you have to say, say it tomorrow."

Pei Yan Ting responded. In her mind, she suddenly thought of her family, meeting less and parting more. Now that she and her grandfather were on the Sea Island, they could at least look out for each other. She didn't know how her cousin and her family were doing...

In the second bedroom, after seeing the lights in the master bedroom go out, Old Master Pei treasured the Traditional Chinese Medicine treatise he had compiled with his old buddies. There were several thick volumes, covering internal and external medicine, including hundreds of folk remedies and illustrations of medicinal herbs.

Originally, he thought this medical book would have to wait another five or ten years to be printed, but now it seemed it would be soon...

Once the situation completely stabilized, he would take these medical books, which he had painstakingly compiled, to find the person in charge of the Xinhua Bookstore to negotiate the printing matters.

The Pei family's medical heritage shouldn't be kept to themselves; it should be shared so that people with lofty ideals could see it and those who wanted to engage in medicine could continue to study it!

A single spark can start a prairie fire!

May the heritage of Traditional Chinese Medicine be passed down for generations, for thousands of generations...

In the past and present, pioneers in every ordinary position, and even ordinary farmers, were all leaving fire seeds for future generations in their own way.

Without ordinary people knowing, some old people who were being reformed in the cowsheds had already been secretly picked up and resettled.

The telegrams on the Sea Island were becoming more and more frequent.

Old Master Lu had already received telegrams of gratitude from many old buddies who had lost contact, either from them personally or from their families.

No way, he was just that popular!

Well, actually, in the past years, when he was at the cadre retirement home, he had secretly done some things.

Apart from saving for his grandchildren, his retirement allowance was all arranged for his confidants to secretly subsidize those old buddies or their families.

What was this called?

This was called early investment, planning for a rainy day.

He knew they would pull through, and after the sky cleared, they would meet again.

There is a saying: sending charcoal in the snow.

When his old wife was still alive, she always nagged about being kind to others, helping people as much as possible while protecting oneself, to build good karma for future generations.

Look, his old wife was right. He listened to his old wife, sending charcoal in the snow. And look, it was finally time for the reward.

Don't talk to him about righteousness. If he hadn't had this intention, he wouldn't have been so kind.

He wasn't a good person; he was an old fox, talking about interests, relying on his own ability to eat—that wasn't shameful!

Old Master Lin and the others all rolled their eyes at Old Lu. They spat on Old Lu's behavior, but in reality, they all admired Old Lu in their hearts.

For so many years, risking danger, silently and secretly subsidizing—if it were them who had fallen on hard times and received such help from Old Lu, they asked themselves, regardless of Old Lu's purpose, they would be deeply grateful...

Damn it, Old Lu had shown off again!

Old Master Lu smiled triumphantly. When replying to the telegrams, it was incredibly moving.

Not mentioning his own credit, not asking for credit, only asking about the other party's health, hoping they would take good care of themselves, and inviting them to come to the Sea Island to play in the future.

Although the response was very official, those who had been cared for for many years were all grateful to Old Master Lu.

Those whose bodies were still strong soon returned to their posts, receiving various condolences and compensation from above.

For those whose bodies weren't so good, the higher-ups asked for their opinions and arranged for their children and grandchildren to enter corresponding positions.

In short, personnel changes in the Capital were very frequent.

Along with it, personnel changes in the local areas were also very frequent.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, and many legacy issues were being handled one by one.

In the New Year, everything was brand new!

Amidst the crackling of firecrackers, it was the New Year!

The programs on the television had also increased a lot recently.

Those who had televisions at home were fine; they didn't need to squeeze into the political commissar's propaganda room to watch.

More people were squeezing together, huddling for warmth to watch the programs.

At this time, Old Master Lu's vast network of contacts was staggering.

Dozens of packages were carried to the Sea Island by the mail carrier, who was bitter about it, and delivered to the family compound.

A tricycle was piled high, all packages addressed to Old Master Lu!

And so, a group of people was watching television in the main room, while Old Master Lu was "bitterly" unpacking the packages.

"Oh, it's Old Ji. Old Ji has now returned to his post as a university professor and sent me a box of bird's nest, donkey-hide gelatin, and tiger bone wine."

The other old masters pricked up their ears, but tried hard not to turn their heads, not to look at Old Lu showing off.

Then they heard that guy chattering on:

"Tsk, Little Wang. He works at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs now. Why send me so many foreign exchange coupons? Oh, and milk powder coupons, not bad, not bad, my family is short of this."

"This package is big, let me see what it is."

"Zhu-Zhu (Piggy)."

After the package was unpacked, inside was a sewn doll, a pig. And don't say, it was a bit cute. And so, Lian Lian pounced on it immediately, holding it and refusing to let go.

Xiao Nuomi saw the doll and wanted it too, blinking her big eyes and looking at her great-grandfather—

"Want."

This is terrible; both little ones had taken a fancy to this piggy doll!

Old Master Lu felt a bit of resentment toward the person who sent this package; why didn't they know to send two?
