Chapter 1365: Chapter 1365: Choosing a Date to Return to the Team 3

Her words were both dignified and magnanimous, and just right.

Wang Xinsheng gave her a mental thumbs up; he admired this niece-in-law the most. With such a virtuous woman, how could the Lu Family not prosper?

She was competent and well-connected. Even if not perfect, she was outstanding enough, and the rarest quality was that she had never stopped learning, which many could not match.

The Lu Family’s development up till today could not have been achieved without her contributions.

Cheng Baoguo had no children or descendants, and while his own offspring were not bad, they had limited prospects, certainly no match for Lu Jiang.

The old chief also had nothing but praise for her, "Our country needs talented and benevolent people like you. Don’t waste your excellent medical skills, but I heard you’ve been discharged?"

Feng Qingxue said, somewhat embarrassed, "I gave birth to triplets and was greatly weakened. Sick leave alone wasn’t enough to recover fully, and with the newborn triplets, Lu Jiang and I did not want to waste the military’s resources, so we applied for discharge. However, rest assured, I’ve merely transferred to the reserves. If the country needs me, I am always ready to be called upon."

After listening, the old chief expressed his concern, "Giving birth to triplets in one go must have drained your vitality. Are you feeling better now?"

"I’ve rested for a full two years, and now I’m well again." If she hadn’t fully recovered, she wouldn’t dare to run around.

The old chief made a sound of agreement and said, "Since you’ve recovered, then pick a date to rejoin the ranks."

"Ah?" Feng Qingxue had never thought about rejoining the ranks now, especially since the triplets were only two years old. She definitely couldn’t bear the thought of sending them to a nursery, worried that Dundun and Zhuangzhuang might be bullied, and concerned about Xiongxiong bullying others.

The old chief narrowed his eyes, "What? Is there a problem?"

"Grandfather, I have so many little brothers, and if Mom goes back to the ranks, there will be no one to take care of them!" Xibao was so cleverly frowning, "Xiongxiong is too naughty. Without Mom around, he always hits and takes things from others."

The old chief chuckled, "The nursery is there to solve the daily worries of working parents!"

Feng Qingxue was concerned about sending her children to the nursery, preferring personal care over the nursery to ensure their well-being, to the point of giving up her military career to focus on the family and secondary on learning. Although given Lu Jiang’s current rank, the nursery staff would definitely not bully the Lu Family’s children, Feng Qingxue still could not feel at ease. Moreover, the meals at the nursery could not compare to the nutritious and delicious food prepared at home.

Feng Qingxue listened to the elders in her family talk about the old days, always mentioning that in the sixties and seventies, adults and children suffered so much due to inadequate nutrition, resulting in many passing away in their prime when the country became prosperous and living conditions improved; it was truly regrettable.

Many people had survived on a bowl of cabbage soup costing one cent, dubbed the ’Soup Commander’.

Upon hearing the old chief’s words, Xibao emphatically shook his head, "No, that won’t do. I’ve secretly observed things at the nursery. There are so many little brothers and sisters, all chattering, crying, noisy and fussing. The caretakers are overwhelmed as it is; we shouldn’t add to their burden, especially since we are triplets and our sister isn’t old enough for school yet."

The old chief laughed, "Xibao is really sensible. However, your mother’s medical expertise must not be wasted."

"Don’t worry, once I’m free, I’ll find a way to return to my previous position without being told," Feng Qingxue thought, probably when the triplets started school.

The old chief nodded his head and said, "I hope you will rejoin us soon!"
