The Space-Time Boss: 1970s Revolution

Chapter 138: Youth

She bought each of her three uncles a set of Zhongshan suits and also an old man's shirt for Grandpa Fu. Aside from Fu Hong, none of the brothers received anything.

She thought about how the second brother had stayed at home for so long and must have accumulated quite a bit of resentment. A gift might help placate him.

However, she was troubled about what to buy. Beside her, Fu Yu curled his lip and pointed to a nearby stall selling socks. "You could just buy him a pair of socks. He'd be over the moon..."

Fu Xiao smiled knowingly, aware that her older brother was just being sour. She approached him, holding his arm and giving him a smile.

Fu Yu, who always had a soft spot for her, immediately smiled back.

In the end, she didn't buy the socks Fu Yu suggested. Instead, she found a set of children's books that Fu Hong hadn't seen before at a small stall and bought them.

He would definitely like these...

With her hands already full, she decided not to shop any longer. As she was about to put the items back in the car, Fu Xiao sensed a burning gaze.

She squinted and looked up, seeing a military vehicle parked across the street. Scanning with her spiritual sense, she noticed two elderly people in the back seat, one of whom she recognized as the leader.

The other person's face seemed familiar. She thought, this should be Old Master Mu...

Inside the car, the elderly man looked exasperatedly at Old Master Mu, who was hunched over inside the car.

He said impatiently, "You wanted to see this child, so I told the driver to stop. Look at you now."

Old Master Mu gave a wry smile. "I just wanted to sneak a peek. I didn't expect this child to be so perceptive..."

"Well, are you going to keep looking? I have things to do, and I can't just stand here while you keep peeking..."

"Old Ye, can't you be a bit more gentle with me?"

In the end, Old Master Mu sat up and watched the child from a distance through the window. Initially, he intended just to take a quick glance, but he couldn't tear his eyes away.

His heart ached with the thought of how good it would have been if this child had grown up in the Mu family.

Fu Xiao noticed the elderly man's head peeking out from the window. He was wearing a faded military uniform. Although his gaze was greedy, the sharpness in his eyes was undeniable.

Setting aside their complicated relationship, she felt that such an old revolutionary deserved her respect.

She gave a polite but distant smile, nodded towards the car, and then turned to leave with her items.

As she walked away, Old Master Mu sighed softly but didn't look away from her retreating figure.

Old Ye, looking at their departing figures, said with a gentle smile, "They are all youths... The future of our country depends on countless youths working hard. We're getting old..."

Old Master Mu sighed as well. "Yes, a nation's wisdom depends on its youth's wisdom."

He looked at Old Ye with a complex expression. "The education issue cannot be delayed. There's still a lot for you to do."

Old Ye responded, "Yes, I will ensure that these youths have the opportunity to progress before I leave. After all, as the youth progress, so does the country..."
