Chapter 1293: Chapter 1293 Transfer to the Capital 2

Mentioning Zheng Huihui, Feng Qingxue then realized that Zhou Zhou had come alone and couldn’t help saying, "Don’t you have anyone to accompany you? Even though it’s daytime, after what happened before, aren’t you more cautious?"

The female educated youths were each so delicate and refined, completely different from the village women. How could there not be a group of young men coveting them?

Moreover, the fact that Zheng Huihui, who liked to come to her house to offer help, hadn’t shown up was very surprising to Feng Qingxue.

Zhou Zhou pursed her lips into a smile, "She and Bai Xiaolin dropped me off here and then went to see what the fuss was about."

"What fuss? What are you talking about?" Feng Qingxue was perplexed.

"You’re at home taking care of children every day, of course, you don’t know. The Brigade Leader is talking about organizing a militia company. Since it’s raining and everyone is idling at home, they’re having a meeting in the office to choose strong young laborers for this role," Zhou Zhou explained.

Feng Qingxue suddenly understood why her home was so quiet, she had been wondering why nobody was around.

A militia company? The commune is organizing a militia battalion, so the brigade is forming a militia company?

But that’s also good, first for training, second for dealing with petty theft and the like.

Around almost eleven o’clock, Zheng Huihui and Bai Xiaolin came to pick up Zhou Zhou, who was holding her high school textbooks. They were now cooking together and didn’t associate with other people who liked to take advantage.

Guan Cheng and some other children also returned home one after another.

"I passed by Old Man Lu’s house just now and bumped into him," Guan Cheng told Feng Qingxue.

Feng Qingxue acknowledged with an "oh" and while she dropped fish meat dumplings into boiling water, she said, "What did the old man say? Didn’t he keep Xibao to say a few auspicious words?"

Old Man Lu was absolutely convinced of Xibao’s good fortune.

Guan Cheng flashed his white teeth and said, "How could he not hold onto Xibao for a while? Old Man Lu kept tempting Xibao to say that it wouldn’t rain tomorrow, that it would be sunny, insisting on ’Plant more during ox and horse years, and watch out for those of the chicken and dog’, advising us to be frugal and to save more, to stock up for the Zhou Family in case of another bad year."

"The year of the chicken?" Feng Qingxue was momentarily stunned, then she remembered that this year was the year of the chicken, that is, 1969.

Guan Cheng, oblivious to Feng Qingxue’s internal musings, nodded and smiled, "Yes, this year is the year of the chicken. I heard from the old folks that during the years of the chicken and dog, it’s most likely to encounter unpredictable weather, so we need to be extra careful. Ox and horse years are usually more favorable, so we should plant more crops. Whether there’s scientific evidence for this, I have my doubts."

Feng Qingxue’s mind wasn’t on this at all as she thought of 1969, the year in her previous life when Commander Ye and Lu Jiang finished their re-education through labor.

Lu Jiang remembered it more clearly than Feng Qingxue, but he was particularly worried that things might change. After all, many fates had already changed with Feng Qingxue’s appearance, so he was constantly vigilant. Amidst his busy schedule, three months after the meeting ended, he finally received the news that Commander Ye had finished his re-education through labor, and he returned to the border forces, resuming his position.

Now there was an awkward situation, one military district with two commanders.

While many were waiting to make a joke out of it, Lu Jiang made a decisive move. As soon as Commander Ye finished his re-education through labor, Lu Jiang requested a demotion, retiring gracefully and carefree.

However, no one saw any joke happen, as an order came down transferring Lu Jiang to the Capital Military Region, to be in charge of the Viva Army.

It wasn’t a promotion, but it was as good as one.

First, the environment was different, and second, the significance was different.
