Chapter 1240: Leisure Time 5
Now that Feng Qingxue had made up her mind, Lu Jiang sent a letter home asking Guan Cheng to come and pick up Lu Tianzhi and Guan Yu at the beginning of spring.
Although Lu Jiang was reluctant to live apart from his wife and child, he was clear that his wife had considered all the issues. Just as she had said, the priorities were the child, learning, and the interpersonal relations within the family compound.
Lu Jiang never felt that because his position was high, people with lower status must fawn over him and his wife and children. Respect was acceptable, but fawning was excessive. Such behavior was unwelcome, as it shouldn’t become the norm in the family compound. Once such a norm developed, it would be difficult for soldiers and their families to interact as equals in the future.
Moreover, with the Soviet Union showing signs of movement, the northwestern military region was on high alert. Lu Jiang’s work had grown increasingly busy, spending most of his time in the military or at headquarters, discussing various issues related to border defense.
His wife and child’s temporary departure was the best choice.
Therefore, Lu Jiang especially cherished the time he had left with his wife and child. The couple were most concerned about Zhuangzhuang, who was sickly despite being one year old.
In contrast, Dundun and Xiongxiong were growing up white and chubby, as strong as little calves, toddling everywhere around the house.
Flashing a grin that showed their nearly identical two front teeth, they dribbled shiny saliva.
"Ah!" Xiongxiong opened his mouth wide at Fubao.
Fubao looked at the egg custard in the bowl, spooned a scoop into his mouth, then gave the next scoop to Dundun.
Xiongxiong was naughty, lowering his head and butting into Dundun’s belly, toppling him onto the ground.
