Chapter 1321: Chapter 1321 Preliminary Understanding 6

After listening to the Lu Family’s words, Feng Qingxue nodded, her eyebrows and eyes alight with a smile, "That’s true indeed."

The old leader’s words were no less than a sacred decree from the old days.

Lu Jiang then said to Feng Qingxue, "Don’t just go along with what you hear. My status is not ordinary now, with guards following me every day. Without a work-related reason, not just anyone can get close to me."

Feng Qingxue laughed, "Then I should really thank the comrades who are guards. I need to treat them well and ask them to be even more dedicated."

"You’ve been very kind to them already, they all speak highly of you." She never forgot to remind him to share everything that was sent to him with the staff around him, and who wouldn’t hold that in their heart? Especially his guard, Ping Zhengkai.

Ping Zhengkai was the best in martial arts among the guards and had won first place at the martial arts competition.

Although Lu Jiang had let Ping Zhengkai go to rest because his wife and child had arrived, Ping Zhengkai didn’t actually leave. He always remained steadfast at his post and took the initiative to help with laundry and cooking.

"Comrade Zhengkai, you don’t need to busy yourself, we can handle it ourselves." Feng Qingxue came out to see Ping Zhengkai washing Dundun and Xiongxiong’s pants diapers and hurriedly spoke up, feeling a bit embarrassed. Seeing him use cold water, she couldn’t help feeling sorry for him, "Why are you using cold water? Aren’t your hands freezing? Come inside and rest a bit, Ajiang, bring some Snake Oil Cream for Zhengkai to use!"

The hands were red and swollen, cracked with several cuts, looking terribly frostbitten.

Even though they were not her blood relatives, in the army, every soldier was family.

Ping Zhengkai scratched his head, "It’s nothing, sister-in-law, I’m used to it. When I was stationed in the Northeast, some locals gave me badger oil ointment, but it didn’t work that well."

"How can it be nothing? Look at your hands, they’re so cracked, how can you still wash clothes? Touching soap water is like pouring salt on the wounds." Feng Qingxue was particularly distressed, snatching the diaper being washed from Ping Zhengkai’s hands and turning back to call inside the house, "Ajiang, Ajiang, did you hear me?"

"I’m coming, I’m coming, I just found it." Lu Jiang came out holding the Snake Oil Cream squeezed into a Snow Cream bottle, "I was just about to ask if you brought any Snake Oil Cream with you. Zhengkai has chronic frostbite that recurs every year, it itches so much he almost wishes he could dig it out with a knife. We need to think of a way to cure it completely. Also, did you bring the medicinal oil for treating joint pain? After dinner, let’s have Acheng and the others watch the kids, and we’ll visit some of the old veterans’ houses. They fought in the ice and snow back in the day, and all of them have lingering ailments."

"I brought the medicinal oil, brought all of it. I was thinking that many of the old soldiers had once been on the Northeast battlefield and might need it." Feng Qingxue had not been idle this year; she had done her utmost to locate and purchase medicinal materials and store a good amount of proprietary Chinese medicines in her space.

In this regard, Wu Zheng and his disciple Guan Cheng had been of great help, and she had not spared any expense.

The number of veterans with rheumatoid arthritis was indeed not small. Lu Jiang, accompanied by Feng Qingxue, first visited several veterans who were suffering the most yet still refused to retire from the army. Each of them had unique skills that the army could not do without, and though they were merely soldiers and not high-ranking officers, even the old generals had to salute them.

"So, these old veterans are all ’Kings of Soldiers,’" Feng Qingxue remarked. The so-called ’King of Soldiers’ refers to those who remain soldiers forever, having served for decades, highly valued for the top-notch skills they possess. Generally speaking, there are fewer ’Kings of Soldiers’ in the army compared to the air and naval forces, where their numbers are higher.

"King of Soldiers?" Lu Jiang thought for a moment and then nodded, "Indeed, they are worthy of the title!"
