Chapter23 A Friendship Between Generations

The two old men came to Ding Ning's ward with notebooks on time every day in the morning. They sat there as scrupulously as primary school students and piously recorded every sentence Ding Ning said. Then they expressed their opinions and had a discussion during which they sought common ground while reserved differences. Despite their difference in age, the three became good friends in no time. However, when it came to academic matters, they would argue heatedly with red faces and thick necks. In their fiercest quarrel, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Hu rolled up their sleeves and almost started a fight with their eyes glaring and beards blowing. Under Ding Ning's earnest persuasion, they ended the war and had peace. Not for a while, they were talking and laughing with dancing eyebrows and radiant faces.
