Chapter 107 - 0107: Show Weakness to Others 3_1
When Lu Jiang returned to his dormitory, he carefully put away the letter, locked it in the drawer, and then inspected his clothes and shoes one by one before putting them in the wardrobe, followed by storing the rice, flour, and his spare jar of chili oil.
In the letter, Feng Qingxue explained that from now on, when preparing meals, a bit of chili oil could be mixed into cabbage soup to make it both fragrant and warming.
Lastly, Lu Jiang opened the sealed bags of various sizes and was astonished at the content. He was amazed by Feng Qingxue’s capabilities and even more curious about her resource gathering tactics and methods.
Before locking these items in the cabinet, as Feng Qingxue had instructed, Lu Jiang took out three pounds of peanuts and chickpea flour, along with a few pounds of candied fruits and dried nuts. After some thought, he also took several pounds of flour and rice from the bag of grains. That evening, he brought these items, along with the leftover bacon and sausages, to Zhao Yong’s house.
Zhao Yong and his wife, Guo Xiuying, were both in the military, and thus had their accommodation provided by the army, a one-bedroom and a living room apartment.
It was evening, and both Zhao Yong and Guo Xiuying were at home.
Hearing a knock on the door, Guo Xiuying wondered, "Who would visit at this late hour when we’re about to have dinner?"
She opened the door while speaking and when she saw Lu Jiang, she quickly let him in, immediately calling for Zhao Yong, "Lu Jiang is here!"
Zhao Yong had already heard that Lu Jiang’s girlfriend had sent him many supplies. Seeing the items that Lu Jiang brought with him, he couldn’t help but say, "These are sent by your girlfriend. Keep them for yourself. Only when you eat well can you have the energy to train. Don’t listen to those soldiers and give everything away. There are so many people in the regiment, even if you gave everything away, it wouldn’t be enough."
Lu Jiang smiled, "I know you mean well, Commander Zhao. But supplies are scarce, and it’s tough for everyone to get their fair share. How could I monopolize these? My girlfriend has instructed me to do so. Here are the items she mentioned in her letter to be for you and your wife."
