Unexpectedly, Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu were not at home. Feng Qingxue and Lu Jiang could only leave regretfully and go to find Lu Jiang's comrades.

Lu Jiang's comrade-in-arms is named Chen Ming, who is ten years older than Lu Jiang and was once Lu Jiang's former squad leader.

Now, Chen Ming lives in the county town, and his home is not far from Aunt Zhao's home.

On the way to find him, Lu Jiang told Feng Qingxue about Chen Ming's deeds.

Eight years ago, Chen Ming lost an arm in a battle and had to retire. After his demobilization, he was assigned to work at the Grain Management Office and became the director because of his military achievements on the battlefield.

This is a lucrative job known to everyone and is highly respected by people in the surrounding area.

Chen Ming's parents died in the turbulent times. He grew up eating at other people's homes and was smart since he was a child. Father Lu saw him by chance and admired him very much, so he sponsored him to go to school. Chen Ming joined the army at the age of 18. A few years later, someone introduced him to a revolutionary partner, but he did not agree. Instead, he asked for leave to go back home when the army passed by his hometown and married Xiaohong, the granddaughter of the old couple who often gave him food.

When he and Xiaohong got married, Lu's father gave them a generous gift.

Not long after the marriage, because the situation was tense at the time, Chen Ming followed the army again. Xiaohong waited for him at home for five years until he was injured and retired. Only then did they live a stable life. Now the couple has two sons, one seven years old and the other three years old.

Lu's father was kind to Chen Ming, and Chen Ming was grateful and repaid the favor. In recent years, Wanglou Brigade has always had an easier time paying public grain than other brigades.

After listening to this, Feng Qingxue only said one sentence: "A family that accumulates good deeds will surely have more blessings."

If the Lu family had not been kind-hearted back then, there wouldn't be Wang Zhengguo, Chen Ming and others now. Without the latter's protection, the lives of Lu's father and his two grandsons would have been even more difficult.

Lu Jiang smiled slightly, "There are many people who are grateful and repay their kindness, but there are also many who are ungrateful."

After saying this, they happened to pass by a state-owned restaurant. Lu Jiang went in to get the food coupons and money to buy a few pounds of noodles.

The restaurant made two batches of sesame seed buns today, which were limited in supply. Lu Jiang bought ten.

"It's almost eleven o'clock now. The old squad leader will definitely invite us to have lunch. Although the old squad leader is the director of the grain management office and will not be unable to entertain us, we still have to bring our own rations. Besides, the old squad leader's family depends entirely on the old squad leader's salary, and they have to support two children. That little supply may not be enough to live on. We don't need to squeeze food out of their teeth."

After hearing this, Feng Qingxue smiled and said, "It should be."

She said this but was extremely surprised in her heart. It turns out that in this era, visitors need to bring their own food!

Thinking of this, Feng Qingxue secretly thanked her luck that she used to carry a backpack when she went out, but now she carried the army green canvas bag that Lu Jiang gave her, and she habitually put some food in the bag, so when she arrived at Chen Ming's house, in addition to the noodles, sesame cakes, and tiaozi cakes that Lu Jiang carried, she took out two apples of poor quality, a bag of spiced peanuts, and a bag of broad bean flowers from the bag.

If she took out the things she had taken when she went to the Lu family to identify herself, people would only think that she still had these things in her hands.

Lu Jiang raised his eyebrows, always feeling that his wife was so mysterious that he had a greater desire to explore her.

"You little brat, it's enough that you're here. Why are you bringing so many things?" Chen Ming patted Lu Jiang's shoulder vigorously with his left hand, his square face full of a bright smile.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It can be seen that Chen Ming was very happy to see Lu Jiang, and his eyes were narrowed into slits.
