Chapter 284 Ji Xiangjun was stunned

After learning about Su Erqiang's physical condition, Ji Xiangjun told Su Erqiang to go home first and to come to his house at six o'clock the next morning.

"Erqiang, remember not to eat breakfast."

Although Su Erqiang did not understand the meaning behind Ji Xiangjun's words, he still nodded obediently.

After seeing Su Erqiang off, Ji Xiangjun began to formulate a detailed training plan for Su Erqiang.

The plan was finalized, and it was already noon.

Cheng Laoquan, who lives across the street, came over to have lunch with him.

Cheng Laoquan was Ji Xiangjun's comrade-in-arms when they were young. For a period of time, the two were separated by distance and did not meet or communicate for more than ten years.

I never expected to run into him in a retirement home in Beijing when I'm all this time.

The two recognized each other immediately upon meeting. Their bond was very strong. Furthermore, for a long time, they ate and slept together.

Therefore, it's not surprising that the two of them are having dinner together today.

When Cheng Laoquan came over, the first thing he noticed was a black cloth bag on his table.

He was used to being at ease at Ji Xiangjun's house.

Without any hesitation, Cheng Laoquan directly opened the black cloth bag.

"Old Ji, what's this? Why is it hidden so well?"

Ji Xiangjun looked up, glanced at what his old friend was holding, and said.

"The mountain produce sent by the students' families is not of any good quality."

Ji Xiangjun assumed that the gifts sent by Chen Xiuting's family were ordinary mountain products, so he didn't pay much attention to them.

Seeing this, Cheng Laoquan became somewhat curious and asked.

"Students? You've been retired for so many years, where would you get students from?"

Ji Xiangjun glanced at Cheng Laoquan, somewhat smugly, and said.

“My grandson brought him here. The young man has already received the notice for the physical fitness test at the People’s Liberation Army University in Beijing. He sent him from Mingzhou so I could train him for a few days.”

Cheng Laoquan precisely focused on the words "Beijing People's Liberation Army University" and exclaimed in amazement.

"This school is amazing. This young man is going to follow in your footsteps; he's destined for great things!"

Cheng Laoquan's words struck a chord with Ji Xiangjun.

He smiled, waved his hand, and said.

"It's not even close."

That being said, the pride and smugness in his tone were undeniable.

Ji Xiangjun and his wife are both veterans of the Red Army. After retiring, they hoped that their children would take over their roles.

Unfortunately, when Grandma Ji was young, she damaged her health and only had one child, Ji Lan.

The elderly couple didn't want their only daughter to join the army, so they suppressed the idea.

After a long and arduous journey, she finally watched her daughter grow up, only to find out that she had married Chu Wenzhu, a divorcee.

This infuriated the elderly couple.

However, Ji Xiangjun and his wife loved Ji Lan very much. Faced with Ji Lan's insistence, the two eventually gave in.

Finally, the third generation was born, but unexpectedly, they had no interest in joining the army at all.

Ji Xiangjun's plan failed once again.

Now, as I approach old age, I've found a promising young man, Su Erqiang. With proper nurturing, he can surely become a pillar of the nation.

Just as Ji Xiangjun was lost in thought, a startled exclamation interrupted his reverie.

"My goodness! Old Ji, come and look, what is this?"

After saying that, Cheng Laoquan grabbed Ji Xiangjun's arm and looked at him.

Ji Xiangjun rolled his eyes in a somewhat inelegant manner and said.

"What is it that's worth you yelling about like this?"

After saying that, Ji Xiangjun turned to look.

After seeing what Cheng Laoquan was holding, Ji Xiangjun froze on the spot.

His large, wrinkled hand trembled as he pointed to one of the two wooden boxes in Old Cheng's hand and exclaimed in surprise.

"Tiger... Tiger bone!" This expression was exactly the same as Su Nuannuan's when she saw the tiger bone.

Seeing Ji Xiangjun's shock, Cheng Laoquan raised the wooden box in his other hand and said jokingly.

"Old Ji, take another look, what's this?"

Ji Xiangjun's gaze indeed followed Cheng Laoquan's words.

What came into view was a semi-circular, reddish-brown object.

Having traveled all over the country for so many years, Ji Xiangjun has seen many good things.

Of course he recognized the value of Ganoderma lucidum.

He once saw a century-old red Ganoderma lucidum at the home of an old high-ranking official. He had heard that it was extremely effective in medicine.

The elderly residents of the retirement home love nothing more than health preservation. Every year, their descendants send them many precious medicinal herbs.

There are also quite a few rare and expensive medicinal materials such as ginseng, lingzhi, and snow lotus.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Ji Xiangjun recognized the red Ganoderma lucidum.

Ji Xiangjun excitedly took the box containing the red Ganoderma lucidum. Upon closer inspection, he could see the distinct patterns on the reddish-brown skin of the Ganoderma lucidum.

He gestured with his hand to indicate the size of the red lingzhi mushroom and said.

"It's a red Ganoderma lucidum. And it's quite old."

Seeing that Ji Xiangjun was completely focused on the red Ganoderma lucidum, Cheng Laoquan tapped the table to attract Ji Xiangjun's attention.

"Hey Lao Ji, who exactly is your student? Why did they send such expensive 'mountain goods'?"

Cheng Laoquan clearly remembered that Ji Xiangjun had just said that the bag contained ordinary mountain products.

He looked at the tiger bone in his hand, then at the red lingzhi in Ji Xiangjun's hand.

You call this normal?
If Cheng Laoquan didn't know Ji Xiangjun's character, he would have thought the other party was showing off to him.

However, seeing that Ji Xiangjun also seemed to know nothing, Cheng Laoquan realized that something was wrong.

The same goes for Ji Xiangjun.

The two old men exchanged a glance, their gazes finally settling on the tiger bone and the red lingzhi mushroom.

Meanwhile, after Su Erqiang returned home, he told Su Nuannuan and the others about Ji Xiangjun's arrangements for him.

Seeing that her second brother's training was getting on track, Su Nuannuan was very happy.

To express her gratitude for Chu Mingzhou's help, Chen Xiuting specially invited Chu Mingzhou to dinner.

The next day, Su Erqiang went to Ji Xiangjun's house early in the morning.

Then, less than an hour after Su Erqiang left, he returned.

He was accompanied by Ji Xiangjun and a fat old man.

Su Nuannuan looked at Ji Xiangjun, somewhat puzzled, and asked.

"Grandpa Ji?"

Ji Xiangjun smiled somewhat awkwardly and said.

"Nuan Nuan, I need to speak with your mother. Please let me in for a moment."

Su Nuannuan nodded, stepped aside, and let Ji Xiangjun in. Su Nuannuan assumed that he had come to see her mother because of Su Erqiang's matter.

Soon, Chen Xiuting came out of the room.

She smiled warmly and said.

"Grandpa Ji, have you eaten? Would you like some more?"

Arriving at someone else's house so early in the morning, while they were eating, made Ji Xiangjun feel extremely awkward.

Cheng Laoquan, who was behind him, gave Ji Xiangjun a push, even though Ji Xiangjun hadn't said a word.

Upon sensing this, Ji Xiangjun's expression instantly changed, and he said.

"Mom, no need. We've already eaten. We came to see you today because there's something we need to discuss with you."

Like Su Nuannuan, Chen Xiuting thought the other person was referring to Su Erqiang.

So she quickly led Ji Xiangjun and Cheng Laoquan, who was behind him, into the living room.
