Chapter 1204: Applying for Discharge 3
The Jiang family first celebrated the birth of triplets, making countless people envious, but then their youngest son’s life hung by a thread, causing great distress to the entire family, and there was no one in the whole army who didn’t know about it. Comrade Chen Lancheng had visited Zhuangzhuang with his comrades after the boy’s condition improved. Naturally, he was well aware of Feng Qingxue and Zhuangzhuang’s situation, with both mother and child showing a sickly appearance, they truly were pitiable.
"Let’s do this, Comrade Lu Jiang." Chen Lancheng pondered for a moment, "Let our department discuss it and we’ll give you an answer in a few days. You know, this application can’t just be approved immediately."
Lu Jiang understood, "Then I’ll have to trouble Comrade Chen Lancheng and all the comrades."
The approval hadn’t come through, but Qiao Desheng had returned.
After coming back, Qiao Desheng immediately learned of these two major pieces of news, almost getting shocked senseless.
Zhuangzhuang had been barely breathing and Feng Qingxue was now applying for discharge from the army, neither of which was a small matter.
Fang Ning sighed, opened Qiao Desheng’s luggage to tidy up, and seeing that the bag was empty, she knew he had left the bedding and clothes for his parents. She didn’t pay it much mind, since they were meant for the elders anyway. Then she said, "You had barely left for two days when Zhuangzhuang fell ill, suddenly taken to the hospital in the early hours. It was fortunate that Qingxue spotted it early and took such meticulous care. She managed to save his life. I’m not surprised at all that Qingxue is being discharged; her love for the child is too deep, too profound."
Qiao Desheng murmured in agreement, "Then I must visit, visit Sister Qingxue and Zhuangzhuang. I wasn’t home before, which was understandable, but now that I’m back, I can’t not go."
"That’s only right, we’ll go together."
Seeing Qiao Desheng and his wife Fang Ning, Lu Jiang was delighted, "When did you come back? I didn’t even notice."
