Chapter 822: Chapter 822: Entrusting Xiaoyue 1

Since Lu Tianjun had long harbored intentions of joining the army, his family paid close attention to his upbringing and had a deep understanding of the requirements for military recruitment.

Height, weight, health conditions, and so on. Lu Tianjun had already met the standards at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and now even more so.

Height must be over 156 centimeters, weight was increased from the previous 46 kilograms to the current 48 kilograms—this is the male standard. Additionally, one must pass the physical examination. The brain, cervical spine, joints, chest, waist, arms, legs, and so on all have strict requirements. Failing to meet just one could result in disqualification, of course, unless one has backdoor connections.

After hearing Feng Qingxue’s words, Lu Jiang’s already stern face revealed a faint smile, softening his rigid features. He felt very happy because his wife had supported him consistently from the start.

"Conscription happens every year, generally set for March 1st. I’ll think about who’s in charge of recruitment in our area, or maybe someone under them, and give them a call," Lu Jiang pondered for a moment, currently unable to predict the person in charge of recruitment. He then remembered something else, lowering his voice to Feng Qingxue, "I’ve seen some documents from above, and I have a bad feeling about them. It’s almost possible to foresee the coming chaos. You must be cautious in your words and actions, and keep an eye on Xibao too."

Xibao had good social relations, always wandering here and there. To their eyes as parents, his words were very lovable, but in the eyes of those with ulterior motives, not necessarily. Moreover, the recent situation had given Lu Jiang a sense of unease.

Feng Qingxue’s face changed, "What documents?"

Lu Jiang shook his head, "You don’t have the clearance, of course, you can’t see the secret documents from above. I also can’t inform you of the content. You just need to remember to be cautious."

"If that’s the case, you should not get involved in Tianjun’s affairs, to avoid giving rise to gossip," Feng Qingxue hurriedly said.

Although Lu Jiang did not mention it, how could Feng Qingxue not be aware of the approaching storm?

She had recently collected all the newspapers that had been delivered to the army that she could read, and from them, it was evident that the ten-year disaster had already taken shape this year, merely waiting for the day to erupt.

Lu Jiang said with a smile, "If I don’t step in, are you saying that Tianjun should stay in his hometown and farm for a lifetime? I don’t mean to belittle farmers, but Tianjun has been bright since he was a child. He’s learned a great deal from his father, and he has a lot of ambition himself. I truly can’t bear to see him waste his time with his face to the earth and his back to the sky, wasting all his learning."

Feng Qingxue waved her finger at him, her eyes betraying a shrewdness, "Although I am not ranked as high as you and haven’t been in the military for nearly eighteen years like you, with comrades spread across the country, I also have my own network of connections. Entrusting someone through our female comrades is more convenient and more secretive than your straightforward request to those in charge of recruiting."

"Who do you plan to entrust?" Lu Jiang asked curiously.

Feng Qingxue countered, "Who do you think I would entrust? Perhaps I’m thinking of entrusting Uncle Wang, who is much more convenient than you."

"Didn’t you say it earlier? An entrustment between female comrades, so naturally it wouldn’t be an uncle. Presumably, the person you are entrusting is not auntie either. She and Uncle Wang are a united couple," Lu Jiang’s voice faded, "Also, based on my analysis, Uncle Wang’s situation is not so good. We cannot trouble him, even if it means letting Tianjun waste his life away."

Feng Qingxue nodded, she didn’t understand politics very well. No matter how she analyzed the materials, she couldn’t figure out why Wang Xinsheng, who had good relations with the old leader, had problems in her previous life, so she had not even considered troubling the Wang couple.
