Chapter 87: Chapter 0087: Visiting War Comrade 3_1

While Xiaohong and Feng Qingxue were bustling about in the kitchen, Chen Ming and Lu Jiang were discussing the current situation in hushed voices in the living room. As for the two children, they had long run to the balcony to enjoy the crispy five-spice peanuts that Lu Jiang had prepared for them.

Even with Chen Ming’s capability, such tasty, snack was rare in their household.

"I am in this position where I am in good terms with all units, even those who are constantly making revolutions dare not offend me, after all, food is paramount to people. You can rest assured outside, just like these years, those who come to old uncle just go through the motions, they won’t go hard on him. With me above and Wang Zhengguo below, we will do our best to prevent lethal incidents."

Lu Jiang sighed, "Old squad leader, I am really thankful for all you did these many years."

Chen Ming waved his hand, "If it wasn’t for old uncle’s favor back then, there wouldn’t be me now. I am just returning a favor."

Veering away from this topic and glancing towards the kitchen, Chen Ming teased, "Your wife is excellent. She is gracious and confident. Most importantly, her facial expressions are pure and positive."

A person with an upright face and clear eyes is generally not a bad person.

"Of course, look at whose wife she is!" Lu Jiang’s face was beaming with pride, "I am now just like you were when you insisted on marrying older sister-in-law."

Chen Ming immediately understood how to treat Feng Qingxue in the future, and that must be to value her more than now.

Back in the days, he was a military officer, full of potential, with many beautiful young girls in the army having their eyes on him. But he had eyes for none, he only wanted to go home and marry Xiaohong. For this, he even dared to offend his old regiment commander who tried to set him up. Fortunately, the old regiment commander was a good man and did not hold a grudge against him for this matter.

Out of all soft rivers, he chose only a spoon’s worth.

"Your sister-in-law is Wang Zhengguo’s niece, right? Although Zhengguo occasionally has his own small thoughts, he is upright, grateful, and indeed because of him, old uncle lives a stable life now. Once you become his nephew-in-law, he will be even more dedicated."

Lu Jiang chuckled, "Uncle Wang is a man of great integrity. As for his considerations, who in this world does not have them? Aren’t we all hustling for our own interests?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ming agreed wholeheartedly.

At this moment, Xiaohong, who was the spoon in the sea of rivers, wiped her hands, untied her apron, "Sister Qingxue, let’s bring the dishes to the room, it’s time for dinner." According to her observation, Lu Jiang is a very good match. He speaks and acts efficiently, has great cooking skills, and dishes made by him tasted much better than hers.

"Alright, sister-in-law."

Xiaohong was worried that the dishes and flatbreads might not be enough for everyone, so she went to the kitchen halfway through the meal and fried scallions and cabbage leaves with pork fat and boiled half a pot of noodles. Apart from the two children, each adult had a large bowl.

Feng Qingxue went over to help, and on seeing the empty oil can, she reminded herself to find an excuse to send some oil to Chen’s family in a few days.

After having their fill, because Chen Ming had to go to work, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue did not stay longer.

When they said goodbye, they visited Lu Jiang’s comrade Xu Aiguo, who had transferred to work in a coal factory. Along the way, they bought another gift, thus using up all the eggs and sugar tickets in Lu Jiang’s possession.

Feng Qingxue didn’t feel any loss; she had plenty of supplies in her space.

And for Lu Jiang, he didn’t feel it was wasted. After all, relationships are about giving and taking. You can’t only call upon others when you need something. In the future, when he isn’t home, if his family encounters any difficulty, they might need these comrades to lend them a hand.
