Chapter 1759 Collecting Stamps 2

"Where did it come from? Tell me, where did it come from?"

Feng Qingxue has excellent eyesight. The piece in her hand is mutton-fat jade, which is as white as sheep fat, with a tight texture and no visible structure. It is delicate, warm, and full of oiliness. It has reached this level before it has been played with. One can imagine how outstanding it is after playing with it.

She likes jade, always has.

I like Hetian jade the most among nephrites, and jadeite the most among jadeites. Although I also like the brilliance and beauty of other jewels, none of them can be compared with the first two. It’s just that my conditions were limited in my previous life and I haven’t come into contact with the best products.

Lu Jiang knew his wife's hobby very well, so he did his best to collect jade for her. "Hasn't Huo Beiting always been in the Kunlun Military Region? I asked him to collect them from the indigenous people near the Yulong Kashi River. It took him several years to collect these two jars of good ones. Some of the inferior ones are still in the box. I didn't dare to let a third person know, so I didn't send them by mail. He didn't give them to me until he went back to the capital to visit his relatives last month. He had a two-month vacation and we met. He said that if he couldn't meet me, he would have delivered them here personally."

Feng Qingxue had a particularly deep impression of Huo Beiting. After all, he was the first among Lu Jiang's comrades-in-arms to contact him, and he had donated food to save his life. For more than ten years, they had been exchanging letters.

The conditions there were extremely difficult, and Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue would send food and supplies to Huo Beiting every year without interruption.

"Is Huo Beiting okay?" Feng Qingxue played with the oily jade. She remembered that Huo Beiting got married ten years ago and married a medical soldier in the army. When they got married and had children, they sent him a lot of things.

Lu Jiang sighed, "His wife died last winter, leaving behind two children, a boy and a girl."

Feng Qingxue's hand suddenly stopped, and the hand holding the jade turned white, almost the same color as the jade.

"Sacrificed? How could this happen? What happened?" Huo Beiting's wife was about the same age as him, but she passed away in her thirties?

"Four medical soldiers crossed mountains and rivers to promote health work and treat diseases among local residents. On their way back, an avalanche occurred and no one survived. She was one of them." Lu Jiang has become accustomed to it. Although he feels sad for Huo Beiting, from the first day of joining the army, they knew that their lives were no longer their own, and war and accidents could happen at any time.

Feng Qingxue cherishes her life, but she admires any soldier who sacrifices his life regardless of his own safety.

"Where are the children? How are they arranged?" A child without a mother is pitiful.

Lu Jiang said in a deep voice: "Huo Beiting is busy with work, and it is common to not see him for ten days or half a month. So I took the opportunity of visiting relatives to send the children to their grandparents' home. I asked my uncle to rent them the small courtyard you rented when you were in school as one of the rewards. Huo Beiting was responsible for the rent. His brother-in-law was very happy. I saw two children, one eight years old and the other six years old. They had never been to school there. I asked someone to arrange for them to go to the school that Fubao went to."

Feng Qingxue sighed. Life under someone else's roof was not so easy. It was fine if the adults treated the children well, but families with their own children would of course put their children first in everything, and no one could say they were wrong.

"If you have a chance to go to the capital, visit the children often." Feng Qingxue felt sorry for the two children without a mother. "I will write a letter to Sister Xue Niang and ask her and Brother Zheng to keep an eye on them secretly. If the children are living well, we will naturally not say anything. If the children are bullied, we must tell Huo Beiting no matter what."
