In retrospect, he had excellent foresight.
As soon as they left, Lu's mother brought back five ducklings.
"Mom, where did these ducks come from?" Ran Jinnian asked in surprise.
“The ducks at Niu Chunhua’s house hatched ducks, and I took a few when I saw them.”
Lu's mother put the ducklings into the chicken coop and gave them water.
"Mom, did you give the money?" Ran Jinnian asked.
"Not yet. She doesn't want money; she wants something else."
"What is that?"
Ginseng powder.
"It was Lu's mother who spoke up."
Ran Jinnian was taken aback: "How did she know that someone in my family uses ginseng powder?"
“I haven’t told anyone about the family situation. She saw me using ginseng powder when she came to borrow needles and thread last time,” Lu’s mother explained.
"Her husband was in the water the whole time he was fighting the disaster, and he often said he felt cold after he came back. She wanted some ginseng powder to make him some water to drink."
Ran Jin thought for a moment and said, "Mom, why don't you give Sister Niu some money and some ginseng powder?"
“That’s what I think too. She has six children. What if something happens to the man?” Mrs. Lu said as she went into the house.
She filled a bowl with a lot of ginseng powder and then covered the bowl with something.
Lu's mother arrived at the Niu family's house carrying some things: "Chunhua."
"Auntie, you're here." Niu Chunhua quickly came out.
"Here's some ginseng powder, and here's a dollar for you." Mother Lu handed the items to her.
"Auntie, what are you doing? Didn't we agree to just exchange some ginseng powder?"
Niu Chunhua is free.
"If you don't accept it, I won't accept the ducks either."
Upon hearing Lu's mother's words, Niu Chunhua felt very embarrassed: "Auntie, thank you."
After receiving the ginseng powder, Niu Chunhua said to her husband, "Commander Lu recovered so quickly because of this ginseng powder. Aunt Lu gave us quite a lot of such good stuff. We should be grateful."
"Yes, whatever you say, honey."
Wang Dafu was drinking from an enamel mug filled with ginseng powder.
Niu Chunhua pinched his ear: "Commander Lu will also be the commander of your Army's Second Regiment in the future. Whatever he says goes."
"Yes, yes, yes." Wang Dafu nodded repeatedly.
Perhaps it was because of the ginseng powder, but Wang Dafu gradually felt much better.
The couple felt increasingly grateful to the Lu family.
…………
One week later.
A jeep was driving on a road a few kilometers outside the Southern Military District.
The man in the car was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. His face was tense, and he looked like he was in a bad mood.
"Did the old man say how long I'm supposed to stay here?" Huo Zhiting rubbed his temples.
"Don't think about going back to headquarters anytime soon. Train hard in the Southern Military Region," the middle-aged man beside him said.
Huo Zhiting became even more agitated: "I don't want to stay in this lousy place."
“Zhi Ting, the Southern Military Region is the strongest of the four military regions. It took a lot of effort from the old man to get you here,” the middle-aged man said patiently.
The thought of his mortal enemy being here made Huo Zhiting feel agitated.
A few minutes later.
Huo Zhiting arrived at the entrance of the Southern Military Region.
He was the newly arrived commander of the 1st Artillery Regiment, so naturally someone was there to greet him.
"Commander Huo, I am Li Hai, the battalion commander of the 1st Artillery Regiment."
Li Hai stepped forward and looked at the newly appointed regimental commander.
"Battalion Commander Li, I have something to ask you," Huo Zhiting said.
"Which regiment does Lu Jinyuan belong to now?"
Li Hai didn't expect him to ask this: "Commander Lu is in the Second and Third Regiments of the Army."
"What do you mean?" Huo Zhiting didn't quite understand; he didn't know which group this was in.
