Chapter 1497 Old Agreement 4

When Feng Qingxue saw Shi Guantao, she was immediately surprised.

"Comrade Shi Guantao?" she blurted out, and at the same time saw the surprised looks of Lu Jiang and Shi Guantao.

A trace of doubt flashed across Lu Jiang's eyes, "Do you know Comrade Shi Guantao?"

Feng Qingxue nodded and said, "I was queuing up to buy food today and happened to see Comrade Shi Guantao. I also learned from others about his past and current occupations."

After hearing this, Shi Guantao said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to make my sister-in-law laugh at me."

"How can there be any jokes among family members? Come on, please come in. It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. The dumplings are fresh out of the pot, so eat them while they're hot. The dumplings with flowers on the edges are made of cabbage stuffing, which doesn't have the spicy taste of onions. You have to pay attention to them and let them eat first. The rest will belong to us adults. Ah Jiang, please call Comrade Shi Guantao, and I'll heat up the food you bought."

Fortunately, strength lies in numbers, so we made a lot of dumplings today. I originally wanted to freeze the extra ones outside to eat tomorrow.

Lu Jiang came in to help and added charcoal to the stove.

Feng Qingxue hummed, "Didn't you just go back? Why are you back again? How many days can you stay at home this time? What's the situation with Comrade Shi Guantao? I'm almost dying of curiosity."

"Why haven't I seen him before?" If he had seen him, he would not have failed to recognize him when buying food.

Lu Jiang sighed, "He followed me a long time ago, he is three years younger than me. In a battle, only five people from our company survived. I was one of them, he was one of them, and Brother Zhao was one of them. Guan Tao was not in the same unit with us more than ten years ago, so of course you have never seen him. It was just a coincidence that I met him today."

Lu Jiang smiled slightly. "I came back when the work required me to. I stayed as long as I could. I went to the headquarters during the day and came back at night. However, I couldn't stay for long. China and the United States are about to establish diplomatic relations. We have to be prepared at all times and pay attention to all aspects. As for Comrade Shi Guantao, he used to be a child soldier in the army and followed me for several years."

After taking all the dumplings out of the pot, she quickly put the remaining dumplings in. The braised pork, stir-fried cabbage and pork skin, and Beijing-style pork shreds that Lu Jiang brought back were directly placed on the grate of the small pot to steam.

"Why are you in the kitchen instead of entertaining the guests in the main room?" This is not the way to treat guests.

"Guan Tao is not a outsider. Dad and Tianzhi and his brothers are here. I'll take a look at the leftover food." Lu Jiang said.

Feng Qingxue added half a ladle of water to the pot and said, "They say he likes to eat out. Why don't you eat in a state-owned restaurant? You are comrades-in-arms, so you should know each other better."

"Do you know why Guan Tao likes to eat out?" Lu Jiang suddenly said.

"Why?"

"Before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the conditions in the army were always very difficult, and it was difficult for the brothers to have enough food and drink. Before going to the battlefield, we made an agreement that whoever walked out of the battlefield alive, whoever waited for the communist society, whoever waited for the prosperous times, would have an extra portion of delicious food for the fallen comrades! Guan Tao went to the restaurant not to eat and drink lavishly for himself, but to fulfill his promise to his fallen comrades. It's just that it's hard to eat good food in the cafeteria or at home, so he went to the restaurant."

At this point, Lu Jiang rubbed his eyes which were blurred by dust, "Most of my comrades like to eat braised pork. Whether it's Guan Tao or me, we will eat it for them for the rest of our lives."
