Chapter 542: Chapter 0542: Military-related Issue 2_1

After Sang Hong left, Guo Xiuying and Wang Xinru, among others, gave Feng Qingxue and Guan Cheng some everyday items. Other soldiers also scrounged a few things to give them, food and necessities. Many people liked Xibao and gave up their personal items for him.

Butter tea, dried yak meat, yak yogurt...

Lu Jiang traded some grain tickets for food and borrowed a set of pots, bowls, and utensils.

The hustle and bustle made it look like a home.

"Can I stay here long term?" Feng Qingxue asked. The construction of the barracks was for accommodating military families, wasn’t it? She had heard from Guo Xiuying that if she wanted to accompany the army, she could apply. Depending on Lu Jiang’s rank, she met the conditions to join the army. Now, she had been assigned a decent house for temporary stay in the military base.

In recent years, she had longed day and night to accompany the army. Now, the policy had finally come into effect.

Lu Jiang and Xibao were laying head to head on the couch. The little guy was saying "Woof, woof, woof," crawling and pouncing forward. Lu Jiang didn’t know who he learned this from, as there were no dogs in sight for miles, all of them long gone, eaten by the starving people.

Hearing Feng Qingxue’s question, Lu Jiang sat up, letting Xibao pounce into his arms, and yelled, "Woof, woof!"

"You’re not a puppy, Xibao." Lu Jiang touched his son’s chubby face and turned to his beautiful and lovely wife, "Qingxue, the living conditions are very harsh here, far worse than back home. Supplies often can’t keep up, and other living materials are unthinkable. Even soldiers don’t dare eat enough, let alone the families who accompany the army? I have seen the documents. Even if the army arranges work for you based on your medical skills, the monthly ration is incomparable to what we have at home."

At this point, Lu Jiang drew a deep breath and continued, "Qingxue, I also yearn to be with you every day and night, in my dreams too. But, I can’t bear to see you and Xibao bear the hardship and suffering with me! I am the one who should bear the hardships and sufferings. I just hope you and Xibao can live comfortably at home, without the harsh environment."

"No, I want to be with you." Feng Qingxue responded decisively, "Although there are elders and a bunch of kids at home, although there is a shortage of doctors and medicines in our hometown, and although the elders, kids, and my fellows need me, my love for you finally outweighs. Previously, we were helpless and had to live our lives separated. Now, with the accompanying family policy, Lu Jiang, I don’t want to be apart anymore. I don’t want to have to wait for a letter every few months to ease my longing."

She is indeed selfish!

She wants to be with her husband, crazily longing for it, no matter where he is.

"I also very much wish to stay together with you for a long time," Lu Jiang responded without hesitation. He had thought about the family accompanying issue when he approved Guan Cheng to study medicine, but at that time, he hadn’t expected to be stationed in this military zone.

Feng Qingxue clapped her hands and said, "Since you agree, then that’s settled. I’ll draft the application for family accompanying immediately!"

First, submit the application. If it gets approved, can they stay put next year?

Although she feels guilty for her elders and children back home, at this moment, Feng Qingxue’s desire to be with Lu Jiang outweighs everything else. No matter how bitter and difficult things get, if Lu Jiang is there, she doesn’t feel the hardship. Even if life at home was full of comforts, it couldn’t compare to the sense of security her husband’s presence brought.

Lu Jiang softened, "It’s winter now and the mountains are closed due to snow. You’ll have to wait until summer to leave. Let’s discuss this matter later."

...I’ve been researching and want to die, five to six hours, and only got this much done, I still haven’t updated my prediction software, feel like crying
