Chapter 1298 The Affection in Adversity 2
After visiting the comrades of Zhou Fengchun, Lu Jiang’s work became much smoother immediately.
Zhou Fengchun’s comrades weren’t just high-ranking officers, but also included several mid- and lower-level officers who had served in the military for many years and held relatively important positions, whose importance to Lu Jiang’s work could even surpass that of several old generals.
Representatives from upper, middle, and lower ranks all strongly supported Lu Jiang, so the result was no surprise, was it?
Knowing her husband’s work was progressing in a good direction, Feng Qingxue felt relieved.
Carrying letters, clothes, food, and money sent by a few old generals via Lu Jiang, Feng Qingxue went to deliver them to Zhou Fengchun.
Zhou Fengchun accepted the clothes, shared the food with everyone, and finally pushed the money towards Feng Qingxue, "I’m tied to Wanglou Brigade, so money and tickets are of no use to me. You take them, spend however you like, buy something for the kids. Since you’ve returned, we four old fellows have been eating, drinking, and wearing what you provide, and it hasn’t been cheap."
Not even one’s own children could necessarily do what Feng Qingxue had done.
Thinking of his own adoptive children who eventually made it clear they wanted nothing to do with him, Zhou Fengchun felt somewhat somber, but then he perked up, knowing there are still many good people in the world, whether it be those comrades he fought alongside or these young folks before him.
Looking down at his old cotton jacket and pants, both faded inside and out, he knew the lining was stuffed with new cotton. Ding Guofeng, with his grandson who had grown drowsy after warming by the brazier, embraced him, "Indeed, Xiaoxue, I really don’t know how to thank you. Only in times of trouble does one really understand what it means to send charcoal in snowy weather and what it means to add flowers to the brocade."
