Chapter 1322: Chapter 1322 Writing a Complaint Letter 1

Because the gifts were medicinal oils for treating joint pain and sheepskin kneepads, not particularly valuable, the old soldiers who had long suffered from ailments did not refuse this kindness and felt a warmth in their hearts.

Indeed, who doesn’t hope to be remembered by others?

Although they had willingly gone to the battlefield and bore their injuries with no regrets, only harboring a firm patriotic heart, the feeling of being forgotten versus being remembered is entirely different.

They were grateful to Feng Qingxue and, at the same time, to Lu Jiang for his consideration.

If it weren’t for Lu Jiang thinking of them, would Feng Qingxue have brought medicinal oils all this way? And would she have made sheepskin kneepads?

Leaving the old soldiers’ residence, Lu Jiang gripped Feng Qingxue’s hand tightly, "To have such a virtuous wife, how fortunate am I?"

He had been very busy lately, wishing he could split a day in two to get his work done. Even though he was concerned about the old soldiers’ health, it was his wife who had carefully prepared the medicinal oils and the sheepskin kneepads, unbeknownst to him. If it weren’t for his wife’s thorough preparations, he would be hard-pressed to accomplish anything. Thus, the one he truly should be grateful to was his wife.

The weather became especially cold after nightfall, and Feng Qingxue was wrapped up like a bear, not lacking a hat, scarf, or gloves.

Her old military coat was not as warm and comfortable as Lu Jiang’s, so she was now wrapped in his.

"Why mention such things? Don’t let others see and gossip," Feng Qingxue shook his hand, really, wasn’t this era against men and women walking side by side or showing affection in public? How could he be even less concerned with others’ opinions than herself?

Lu Jiang rightfully declared, "We are husband and wife."

"I know, no one is more aware than I, but do be mindful of the influence, Commander Lu." Their guard was following behind them.

No sooner had she spoken than a chuckle was heard from up ahead; the couple recognized the voice and, looking up, saw Sai Xiaocui with an elderly soldier Feng Qingxue did not recognize.

In that era, anyone over fifty could be considered old, not middle-aged.

"Commander Jiang and Sister Xiaocui taking a walk?" Lu Jiang called out a greeting, and Feng Qingxue immediately realized who the person was, hurriedly offering her own greetings, and at the same time, noticed a teasing glint in both Commander Jiang and Sai Xiaocui’s eyes.

Feng Qingxue, feeling a bit embarrassed, quickly let go of Lu Jiang’s hand, pretending to be earnest.

Commander Jiang laughed and said, "I’m old; if I don’t take a walk after dinner, I can’t sleep at night. Comrade Commander Lu, where are you and the little sister-in-law coming from and where are you heading? Surely you aren’t wandering around with the little sister-in-law in this bitter cold? Our place is remote, and the night wind is fierce, cutting the face like a knife."

Upon hearing the term "little sister-in-law," Feng Qingxue frowned.

But since her face was swathed in a scarf with only her eyes visible, neither Commander Jiang nor Sai Xiaocui could see it.

In the military, regardless of age, the term ’sister-in-law’ is used, and being called a ’military wife’ isn’t without reason; unless the husband is of a high rank and she is older, there is no need to refer to other military family members as ’sister-in-law’. Among those with good relationships, it is common to address each other by name, just like Hu Shuixian and Li Panpan do.

Although Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue were young, it was Lu Jiang’s high rank and his standing as the first in the military that made a difference.

Feng Qingxue calling Sai Xiaocui ’Sister Xiaocui’ was out of respect for Commander Jiang’s seniority and Lu Jiang’s respect for him, while Commander Jiang calling Feng Qingxue ’Sister Qingxue’ was due to Lu Jiang’s high rank, which was plainly evident.
