MTLNOVEL Chapter 1914: Taking Shape (Part 2)
After Jiang Xiaoyue married Lu Tianjun, she was injured while saving someone and had to retire from service. Later, she found a simple job in the military compound and lived with Jiang Yun. This was convenient for taking care of her elderly father and because there was a nanny to look after the children, there was no need to send them to the nursery. Yet now, Feng Qingxue couldn't see the mother and child's presence.
"Lu Jiang didn't tell you?" Jiang Yun was somewhat surprised.
"Tell me what?" Feng Qingxue asked in return.
Jiang Yun chuckled and said, "Tianjun finished his mission and came back last month. He took a few days off and was directly transferred to the Southeast Military Region; he is now at the deputy regiment level. Xiaoyue took the child with her to the Southeast Military Region with him."
Jiang Yun couldn't be happier with this son-in-law.
With such a promising future, the older generation felt comforted.
Feng Qingxue was very surprised and felt regret, "The Southeast Military Region? Lu Jiang really didn't tell me about this, I guess he forgot. I didn't expect to bring the child back, and Xiaoyue has gone thousands of kilometers away with Tianjun."
"Knowing now isn't too late. After all, obeying state orders is a soldier's duty, it's the same everywhere."
"You're right, protecting the country knows no borders."
With Jiang Xiaoyue not at home, Feng Qingxue sat for a short while before taking her leave.
The old comrades living here are many familiar faces, like Wang Xinsheng and the old Marshal Lu, who moved in this year with their families. Jiang Yun has always been around, and some old comrades live at Jade Spring Mountain.
Some remain vigorous despite aging, some are half-retired, some completely retired, but none as young and vigorous as Lu Jiang.
Yes, Lu Jiang is not young anymore, he'll be forty-five next year, already middle-aged. But compared to the old comrades, he is much younger, in the most energetic phase of life, both physically and mentally.
Lu Jiang worked in the morning, and during lunch at the canteen, invited several old comrades for a meal, sharing with them in detail the things his wife saw and heard in Shanghai and the value of foreign artifacts. He claimed the information came from Adrien from France and his sister-in-law currently studying abroad who had arrived in Shanghai, revealing his regret over artifacts being sold at low prices.
Seeing the expressions of surprise and regret on the old comrades, Lu Jiang felt hopeful about this matter. When he got home in the afternoon, he said to his wife, "The old comrades will consider this matter carefully; we'll wait for now."
Currently, the most important thing is who controls the world; when major affairs are not settled, naturally no one cares about artifacts flowing abroad.
"Are you off work now?" Feng Qingxue looked at her watch, it was three o'clock.
Lu Jiang nodded, "There's nothing much today, if there is, I can work from home, anything you need?"
Feng Qingxue stood up, "If you're free then drive with me for a trip, let's bring back the things I had someone transport from Shanghai. Your daughter is still thinking about the beautiful flower pot!"
As she spoke, she winked at her husband.
Lu Jiang caught the hint, "I'll go get the car."
In recent years, he has achieved numerous merits, now holding high status, every move in the spotlight, and the guards couldn't not follow him. The security department wouldn't dare to take the responsibility, Lu Jiang argued until he was hoarse but couldn't persuade the guards, having to bring four guards with him, using two cars.
Two guards drove, while two sat in the passenger seats, following Lu Jiang's instructions, they drove out of the compound.
Lu Jiang instructed them to stop on the outskirts of town, as Feng Qingxue explained, "That friend lives nearby and doesn't want to meet strangers, please wait for a moment, we'll be back after picking up the things."
A guard said, "Wouldn't it be better if we help you carry the things?"
