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

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

Now, Chen Ming lives in the county seat, and his home is not far from Zhao Damiang's house.

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

Eight years ago, a battle caused Chen Ming to lose an arm and had to retire.

This is a fat difference that everyone knows, and it is highly respected by all over the country.

Chen Ming's father and mother have long died in the troubled times, he grew up eating hundreds of family meals, he has been smart and clever since he was a child, Lu's father saw him by chance, admired him very much, and sponsored him to go to school. Chen Ming joined the army at the age of eighteen, and a few years later someone introduced him to a revolutionary partner, but he did not agree, but took leave to return home when the army passed through 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 also gave a generous gift.

Soon after marriage, because of the tense situation at the time, Chen Ming followed the army again, Xiaohong waited for him at home for five years, until he was injured and changed jobs before he lived a stable life, and now the two have two sons, one is seven years old and the other is three years old.

Lu's father was kind to Chen Ming, and Chen Ming knew that it was much easier for the Wang Lou brigade to pay the public grain than other brigades over the years.

After listening to Feng Qingxue, he only said one sentence: "There will be afterglow in the house of goodness." ”

If it weren't for the kindness of the Lu family back then, there would not be Wang Zhengguo and Chen Ming and others now, without the latter's protection, the life of Lu's father and two grandsons would only be more difficult.

Lu Jiang smiled slightly, "There are many people who know how to repay their kindness, and there are also many people who are ungrateful." ”

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

In the restaurant today, two ovens of Erhe noodles were opened, and they were supplied in limited quantities, and Lu Jiang bought ten.

"It's almost eleven o'clock now, the old squad leader will definitely leave us for lunch, although the old squad leader is the director of the grain management institute, he won't be able to entertain us, but we still have to bring our own rations. Besides, the old squad leader's family depends on the salary of the old squad leader alone, and he raises two boys, and that little supply may not be enough to live, so we don't need to let them squeeze food out of their teeth. ”

Hearing this, Feng Qingxue smiled: "It should be." ”

She said this in her mouth, but she was very surprised in her heart, it turned out that in this era, you need to bring your own rations to come to the door!

Thinking of this, Feng Qingxue secretly congratulated herself on her habit of carrying a backpack when she went out before, and now she was carrying an army green canvas satchel given to her by Lu Jiang, and the bag habitually contained some food, so when she arrived at Chen Ming's house, in addition to the noodles, baked cakes, and trough cakes that Lu Jiang was carrying, she took out two apples in poor condition, a pack of spiced peanuts, and a pack of broad bean curd from the satchel.

The things that she took when she went to the Lu family to recognize the door, and now taking them out will only make people think that she still has these things in her hands.

Lu Jiang raised his eyebrows, always feeling that his daughter-in-law was so mysterious that he had more desire to explore.

"Stinky boy, it's okay if people come, what are you doing with so many things?" Chen Ming patted Lu Jiang's shoulder vigorously with his left hand, and his face was full of bright smiles.

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