Chapter 1402: Chapter 1402 A Bit of Good News 2

Guan Cheng gave a grunt, "Aunt is well-informed and experienced; I’ll ask her later if she has any leads."

In his heart, Feng Qingxue was omnipotent.

"Now that Aunt Ding Xiang has remarried, Comrade Zhong Wenxiu gets along well with her stepfather, so it’s not necessary to find Zhong Hua specifically," Lu Tianjun made a fair comment. "However, Comrade Zhong Wenxiu surely wants to know why she and her mother were abandoned by her father. We’ll leave in a few days, visit Aunt first, then return to the Capital. You should come with us since you’re heading to the Capital anyway."

After thinking it over, Guan Cheng did not object, "When you guys go back, are you getting married? Grandpa will have to go with you, right?"

Speaking of marriage, Lu Tianjun’s eyes lit up with joy, "Yes, our marriage report has been approved already. Once we’re back, we can register for marriage. We don’t need to hold a wedding banquet; just a meal with the family will do. Everything should be kept simple."

Guan Cheng suddenly laughed, "Xibao just got back and has to return with you; that’s a real hassle."

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue had completely forgotten about this, and they also weren’t sure about the marriage date for Lu Tianjun and Jiang Xiaoyue. Now that Lu Jiang’s father and the others had arrived at the military base without notifying them, Feng Qingxue was stomping her feet with regret while helping Jiang Xiaoyue tidy up the house.

However, seeing Xibao again made not only Fubao and the triplets happy but her as well.

Jiang Xiaoyue smiled and said, "What’s the big deal? Xibao got home just in time to enroll in school, didn’t he? He’s a good student, ninety in Chinese and ninety-nine in math, and that’s fourth-grade level! Besides, Xibao has been well-behaved and obedient following the adults around; where’s the hassle in that? I think it’s Brother Guan Cheng who’s more troublesome. He asked me to look after Wenxiu - it’s obvious what he’s thinking. He doesn’t want other male comrades staring at Wenxiu. With her gentle nature and good looks, to say there’s no one in the military eyeing her, I wouldn’t believe it. But if I step in, they’ll definitely show respect."

"There are many children of military compound residents in the army?" Feng Qingxue inquired, recalling what Feng Qingyun had mentioned when he first enlisted about Hen Tiantian and Hen Rongrong coming and going as they pleased, which was infuriating.

Jiang Xiaoyue soberly explained, "Isn’t this what has been happening in recent years? As soon as the policy to go to the countryside was issued, except for children of the out-of-favor families who had to comply and leave the city, who from the privileged families would let their children go to the countryside to be re-educated by the poor and lower-middle peasants? They’re not foolish; they’re well aware of the urban-rural divide. Those with a little connection have long secured jobs in the city for their children to avoid the movement to the countryside; for many children of the military compounds, the best option is to enlist."

She didn’t continue, but Feng Qingxue understood immediately.

"In fact, there aren’t that many military compound kids. After the basic military training and being assigned to military districts, they’re scattered across various units and not many are left. No one agrees to gather them all in one unit," Jiang Xiaoyue went on to say, "Military orders are above all else. Even children of powerful families in important military positions cannot be transferred at will. They must go to the battlefield when required, and can’t desert just because of their family background. Those who come and go as they please are usually those with unimportant roles, like cultural soldiers."

Feng Qingxue nodded, knowing that military discipline is strict, and the army is not dominated by any individual; it’s not a place where military compound kids can do whatever they want. As for the future? That is something for later.
