Chapter 1298: Chapter 1298 The Affection in Adversity 2

After visiting the comrades of Zhou Fengchun, Lu Jiang’s work became much smoother immediately.

Zhou Fengchun’s comrades weren’t just high-ranking officers, but also included several mid- and lower-level officers who had served in the military for many years and held relatively important positions, whose importance to Lu Jiang’s work could even surpass that of several old generals.

Representatives from upper, middle, and lower ranks all strongly supported Lu Jiang, so the result was no surprise, was it?

Knowing her husband’s work was progressing in a good direction, Feng Qingxue felt relieved.

Carrying letters, clothes, food, and money sent by a few old generals via Lu Jiang, Feng Qingxue went to deliver them to Zhou Fengchun.

Zhou Fengchun accepted the clothes, shared the food with everyone, and finally pushed the money towards Feng Qingxue, "I’m tied to Wanglou Brigade, so money and tickets are of no use to me. You take them, spend however you like, buy something for the kids. Since you’ve returned, we four old fellows have been eating, drinking, and wearing what you provide, and it hasn’t been cheap."

Not even one’s own children could necessarily do what Feng Qingxue had done.

Thinking of his own adoptive children who eventually made it clear they wanted nothing to do with him, Zhou Fengchun felt somewhat somber, but then he perked up, knowing there are still many good people in the world, whether it be those comrades he fought alongside or these young folks before him.

Looking down at his old cotton jacket and pants, both faded inside and out, he knew the lining was stuffed with new cotton. Ding Guofeng, with his grandson who had grown drowsy after warming by the brazier, embraced him, "Indeed, Xiaoxue, I really don’t know how to thank you. Only in times of trouble does one really understand what it means to send charcoal in snowy weather and what it means to add flowers to the brocade."

Feng Qingxue did not accept the money, smilingly saying, "I have money, aside from everyday expenses, Ajiang’s salary is all sent to me. You uncles keep your money and tickets, who knows, you may need them one day."

Zhou Fengchun wanted to say more, but Lu Jiang’s father intervened, "If Xiaoxue says she doesn’t want it, just keep it for yourself, Old Zhou. If all the things sent by your comrades were taken by our family, wouldn’t that make us look bad? Moreover, when Ajiang’s work was not going smoothly, you really helped a lot, so stop with the polite words; otherwise, we will feel hesitant to ask for your help."

Afterwards, having learned the full story from Zhou Fengchun, he was deeply moved, touched by his daughter-in-law’s thoughtfulness. He had been overconfident in his own wisdom and had faith in his son, never contemplating the difficulty his son might face in commanding respect due to his youth.

As for the term "lucky star," his daughter-in-law was truly deserving.

The comrades of these old folks were scattered across the length and breadth of the country, and many high-ranking officers in the major military districts were their close friends. No matter which military district Lu Jiang was transferred to, he would be able to benefit from their network.

It was because of the changes brought about by his daughter-in-law’s good deeds that his son’s path had become so smooth.

Zhou Fengchun, having heard Lu Jiang’s father, could only put away the two hundred dollars and tickets, "Alright, I’ll keep it for now, Xiaoxue. If you need it, just tell me. Money is fine to keep, no matter how long, but the tickets do have an expiration date."

"Don’t worry." If it comes to it, the tickets could be used to buy something for the elderly later on.

Feng Qingxue didn’t stay long in the cowshed, as the triplets were having their noon sleep at home. Although they were watched by the older children, she was still not at ease, and besides, she had to go back and make a set of outerwear and shoes and socks for each, both Jiang He and Zhang Erya.

Because, taking advantage of her time at Wanglou Brigade, they had finally decided to get married.

Feng Qingxue had watched the two kids grow up and naturally felt very gratified. Knowing also their difficult circumstances, she made a special request for Wang Cuilan to procure some discount fabric to make new clothes for their wedding.
