Xibao pointed at the old leader's face in the photo, "Grandfather, Grandfather will, will buy Guoguo for the baby. Mommy, buy Guoguo, buy cake, buy Guoguo, for the baby to eat, not for my little sister to eat," he said.
"The old leader gave this to you?" Feng Qingxue exclaimed, her surprise quickly turning into realization.
She should have thought of this earlier.
The old leader and his wife never took a penny from the people. After Xibao's comments, Feng Qingxue made clothes and shoes for him, and the old leader returned an ink treasure. But in the old leader's view, the ink treasure was worthless, so he must have slipped Xibao money, which might include the cost that Father Lu had paid for food and cotton back in his hometown.
So, the old leader did not simply accept without giving anything in return. He had planned this.
Giving Xibao meant giving it to the Lu family, didn't it?
