Chapter 540: Issues with the Army 2
After Sang Hong left, Guo Xiuying, Wang Xinru and others sent some daily necessities, and other soldiers also sent some food and daily necessities by scraping together some. Many people liked Xibao and took out their own private goods.
Butter tea, dried yak, yak yogurt...
Lu Jiang used his food coupons to exchange for some food and brought it back, and also borrowed a set of pots and pans.
After busying around inside and outside, it starts to feel a bit like home.
"Can I live here for a long time?" Feng Qingxue asked. Wasn't the purpose of building a family compound to accommodate the families of the soldiers? She heard Guo Xiuying mention that if she wanted to follow the army, she could submit an application. According to Lu Jiang's rank, she fully met the conditions for following the army. So, even if she was staying temporarily, the army had allocated a nice house for her and her mother.
She had been thinking about joining the army day and night for the past few years, and finally the policy of joining the army came into being.
Lu Jiang and Xibao lay on the kang head to head. The little guy barked "Woof woof woof" and crawled and jumped forward while barking. It was unknown who he learned this from. There were no dogs to be seen in the surrounding area, as they had been eaten by the starving people.
After hearing Feng Qingxue's question, Lu Jiang turned over and sat up, letting Xi Bao jump into his arms and yelled, "Woof woof!"
"You are not a puppy, Xibao." Lu Jiang touched his son's chubby face and turned to look at his beautiful and lovely wife. "Qingxue, the living conditions here are too difficult, much worse than at home. The supplies are often not enough, and other daily necessities are out of the question. Soldiers don't even dare to eat until they are 100% full, let alone their families. I've read the relevant documents. Even if the army arranges a job for you based on your medical skills, the monthly rations can't be compared with those at home."
At this point, Lu Jiang sighed deeply and continued, "Qingxue, I also want to be with you day and night, and I dream about it, but I really can't bear to let you and Xibao suffer with me! I can bear the suffering and sin alone. I just hope that you two can eat well, wear well, and live well at home, without being invaded by the harsh environment."
"No, I want to be with you." Feng Qingxue said firmly, "Although there are elderly people and a group of children at home, and although there is a lack of medical care and medicine in the countryside, the elderly, children, and fellow villagers all need me very much, but my selfishness prevailed after all. There was no other way before, and we had to live in different places. Now that the policy of accompanying the army has been implemented, Lu Jiang, I don't want to be separated from you anymore. I don't want to rely on letters every few months to ease the pain of missing you."
She is so selfish!
She wanted to be with her husband like crazy, no matter where they were.
"I also want to stay with you for a long time." Lu Jiang said without hesitation. As early as when he agreed to study medicine in Guancheng, he had considered the issue of family members accompanying the army. However, at that time, he did not expect that he would be stationed in this military region.
Feng Qingxue clapped her hands and said, "Since you agree, that's easy. I'll write an application to join the army right away!"
I write the application first. If it is approved, does that mean I don’t have to leave next year?
Although she felt a little sorry for the elderly and children at home, Feng Qingxue's selfishness prevailed at this moment. No matter how hard or difficult it was, she didn't feel it was bitter as long as Lu Jiang was around. Even if the family had enough food and clothing, they did not have the sense of security brought by having her husband around.
Lu Jiang softened his heart. "The mountain is now blocked by ice and snow. You have to wait until summer to leave. We can discuss this later."
. . I've been looking up information for five or six hours, but this is all I've achieved. My divine calculation hasn't been updated yet. I want to cry.
