Chapter 611: Chapter 0611 Sacrifice oneself for others5_1

Lu Jiang packed up these warm clothes, didn’t send them directly to the Zhu Rong’s house, but called Zhu Rong out after making arrangements the next day, and stuffed the bundle into his hands, "This is the winter clothing that Xibao’s mother had me pack up for you and your eldest niece. She finally managed to get the cashmere thread at home to knit these. They have very good thermal properties. Xibao’s mother asked me to apologize to you, thinking she didn’t show respect to you that day, but I don’t want to apologize. In my heart, my wife and child are more important than my own life."

Zhu Rong responded with a wry smile, "Brigade Commander, I’m more than satisfied if you don’t blame me, how dare I blame sister in law? She did nothing wrong, it was all my fault for not reacting in time, not keeping Baozhu safe. I should be the one to apologize to her. But now, since I’ve been stuck with my children and their mother, I’m afraid they’ll create trouble, I haven’t had time to see my sister-in-law."

"She’s not taking it to heart, but on the contrary, she admires your choice, she says there aren’t many responsible good soldiers, good husbands, and good fathers like you in this world." Lu Jiang patted his shoulder, "Zhu Rong, let’s keep going. If you need something, just send me a message."

"Yes, Brigade Commander!" Zhu Rong saluted.

At parting, Lu Jiang suddenly remembered something and whispered, "There are some nutritional items in the bundle, for your daughter. Xibao’s mother said your daughter has edema disease, lacking proteins or some nutrients. I didn’t quite remember. But just make sure she eats some nutrients each day and she should be able to reduce the swelling over time. Don’t starve her anymore."

Tears welled up in Zhu Rong’s eyes, "Thank you, Brigade Commander, thanks for my sister-in-law’s concern! "

Feng Qingxue wasn’t the only one who noticed Zhu Hongling’s edema, but she was the first to express her goodwill. She didn’t take it out on Zhu Hongling for what Wang Baozhu and her son did.

In his heart, Zhu Rong was deeply grateful.

Just when Zhu Rong was settling into comfortable days of not having to worry about food, he was transferred. Although they didn’t know where they were going, Wang Baozhu felt that no place could be better than this. Why else would all the military leaders live here? They could see cattle and sheep everywhere outside the camp. Slaughtering a single cow or sheep would be enough food for a year. The three of them had been drooling for a long time.

"I’m not going, if you want to go, go by yourself. I’ll stay here with the children!" Wang Baozhu sprawled out on the heated brick bed, "I’ve managed all these years without you at home, let alone here where the conditions are ten, a hundred times better than at home. Meals are provided, and we don’t even have to work! Isn’t that right, Fuqiang, Fugui?"

Her two sons squatted on the ground playing with stones, not lifting their heads, but echoed in unison, "Right, right, right! Only a fool would leave a place where you can get enough food without working!"

Zhu Hongling, who was hiding in the corner pretending to be invisible, remained silent.

She sneakily took a glance at her parents and saw a flash of anger in her father’s eyes. Like her elder relatives, she slowly lowered her head. No matter where her mother and brother were, she would follow her father.

With her father, she finally knew what it was like to have a full stomach, not to have to gulp down water to fill her belly, and no longer had to compete with cattle and sheep for grass.

Zhu Rong slowly exhaled a breath and said, "Here, many of the leaders are my superiors. I am like a soldier in front of them, having to follow their orders for everything. But it won’t be the same at the observatory. There, I will be the highest-ranking leader. No one will oppose what you want to do, and food, clothing, and housing will be supplied by the military. They will be delivered specially."
