Chapter 457 Congratulations, the youngest brigade commander in the army.
Old Master Bai was quite satisfied with Chief Lu's reaction.
Even a layman can tell the quality of this 500-year-old high-quality ginseng.
Old Master Bai smiled, looking quite pleased with himself.
"My granddaughter gave them to me, two of them!" Old Master Bai said, holding up two fingers and waving them in front of Chief Lu.
He was smiling happily.
"Given to you by the girl? What are you doing giving me just two?" When Chief Lu heard that they were a gift from Su Niannian to her grandfather, he felt it wouldn't be appropriate for him to keep them.
Although he had a good relationship with the old man, it was still a bit of a waste to give him this 500-year-old ginseng.
My old friend is a master of traditional Chinese medicine, so such a good product can achieve better results when it's in his hands.
For yourself, it's not just about soaking it in water and drinking it.
Thinking it over, she closed the exquisite box containing the ginseng and pushed it back towards Old Master Bai.
"You! It's not normal for my granddaughter to give me half of what I gave her."
"This is a good thing; you can keep it and soak it in water—it's a top-quality tonic for your health."
"With your frail body, riddled with illnesses and injuries, you can just pluck a small piece of root every now and then and use it to make tea."
As he spoke, Old Master Bai pushed the box containing the ginseng back.
"But..." Wouldn't it be a waste to give it to me? Old Chief Lu thought to himself.
But looking at his old friend's expression and demeanor...
That's it!
Chief Lu didn't refuse, but smiled and accepted it.
"Then thank you, Niannian," Chief Lu said with a smile.
Although the items are valuable, I really don't need to be polite with my old friends.
These two old men are as close as family.
"Shouldn't you be thanking me?"
"The girl gave it to me. If I didn't give it to you, would you have it?" Old Master Bai rolled his eyes in annoyance.
That old man Lu is nothing but an ingrate.
"Well then! Have some tea! Have some tea. If I say thank you, won't our relationship become more distant?" Chief Lu chuckled twice and continued to pour tea for Old Master Bai.
At that moment, there was a knock on Chief Lu's door.
"Report!" A loud voice rang out from outside the door.
Both old men recognized the voice as belonging to Gu Nan.
Commander Lu called out, "Come in."
Gu Nan pushed the door open and came in.
He was holding a lunchbox.
Originally, Old Master Bai hadn't paid any attention to Gu Nan, but Chief Lu blinked and gestured to his old friend to look at Gu Nan's shoulder.
Old Master Bai looked over suspiciously.
I was wondering why she was looking at her grandson-in-law's shoulder.
Looking at it from this angle, I noticed that the flower on Gu Nan's shoulder had changed.
"This is... he's been promoted to brigade commander??" Old Master Bai was clearly very happy.
After all, Gu Nan is Su Niannian's husband and her granddaughter's husband, so she was naturally happy that his military rank was being promoted.
Grandpa Bai stood up, stood next to Gu Nan, looked at Gu Nan's shoulder, and smiled with satisfaction.
"You've only been in the army for a short time, and you've already been promoted. That's wonderful," said Grandpa Bai, patting Gu Nan on the shoulder.
"I knew I hadn't misjudged you! You are truly outstanding and worthy of my precious granddaughter!" Old Master Bai smiled happily.
Grandpa Bai just wanted to see the young couple get better and better.
Gu Nan also smiled.
Because the matter of enemy agents and radioactive materials had come to an end, Gu Nan received praise and commendation from his superiors.
Therefore, he was promoted to a higher military rank.
That very morning, Gu Nan had already been promoted from regimental commander to brigade commander.
He was the youngest brigade commander in the military.
However, Chief Lu thought to himself that when he first learned that Su Niannian and Gu Nan were together, his old friend probably still felt that Su Niannian was being wronged by marrying Gu Nan.
Tch, they change their minds faster than turning the pages of a book!
"You used to think your girl was being treated unfairly by Gu Nan, don't you think so now?"
“Look, the youngest regimental commander in the army has now been promoted to the youngest brigade commander in the army.”
"When have you ever seen someone so young rise to the position of brigade commander?"
"You were never satisfied before," said Chief Lu, sitting to the side with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face.
Chief Lu has always been very fond of Gu Nan, and he was especially happy to see that Gu Nan was able to be promoted despite not meeting the usual requirements because of this incident.
"Oh, are you trying to sow discord between me and my granddaughter's husband?"
"Don't even mention the brigade commander, even if it were the commander-in-chief, I still think my granddaughter is the best. Do you have a problem with that?"
"He's my granddaughter's husband, what are you babbling about?"
Old Master Bai retorted.
Seeing this, Gu Nan scratched his head awkwardly. These two old men still loved to bicker every day.
"cut."
"Humph!"
The two old men turned their heads away, refusing to look at each other.
Gu Nan, on the other hand, stood there awkwardly holding an aluminum lunchbox.
When Chief Lu saw Gu Nan holding a tattered lunchbox, he raised his chin.
"What food did you bring?" Chief Lu asked Gu Nan.
Gu Nan stepped forward and placed the lunchbox in front of Chief Lu.
"This is what Niannian asked me to give to you," Gu Nan said.
When Grandpa Bai heard that Su Niannian had asked Gu Nan to give it to Old Man Lu, he became curious.
Forget about arguing with Chief Lu, he turned around to take a look, wanting to know what was inside.
When Chief Lu heard that it was from Su Niannian, he immediately grinned.
"Oh! It was Niannian who asked you to give it to me!" Chief Lu said, enunciating each word clearly.
I'm very proud of it.
This was deliberately meant to provoke Old Master Bai.
When Old Master Bai heard Old Man Lu's boastful words, he couldn't help but roll his eyes again.
Over there, Chief Lu opened the aluminum lunchbox with a happy expression and saw a ginseng root inside.
It's almost identical to the ginseng my old friend just gave me.
It wasn't properly framed; it was just haphazardly placed inside an aluminum lunchbox.
It doesn't look very valuable, but Chief Lu has a good eye; the size and the amount of ginseng rootlets look about the same.
"Is it also a five-hundred-year-old tree?" Chief Lu asked Old Master Bai.
Old Master Bai felt a little sorry for the ginseng, which was being stored away like this.
Is Su Niannian just in the habit of leaving good things lying around like this?
The same thing happened at Baicaotang before, and it's still the same now.
Really are……
"Same here. When the girl brought it to me before, she just casually put it in a lunchbox like this."
"It makes my heart ache just looking at it," said Old Master Bai, snatching the lunchbox from Chief Lu and intending to carefully examine the ginseng inside.
"Alright, don't bother. I'll keep the one that Niannian gave me. You can take the one that's standing upright here."
As he spoke, Chief Lu took the lunchbox back.
Let me explain it to you.
"No need, they're all going to be soaked in water anyway," Chief Lu said casually.
