Chapter 1816: Spending the Holiday Alone 4
Feng Qingxue hardly had time for a couple’s world with her husband.
Lu Jiang went to the front line, and her task was to stay in the army. Originally, she was supposed to be part of the medical team, but considering their family had elders and young children, she was assigned to take care of the medical work for the soldiers stationed in the rear as well as their families. She also had to reassure the military dependents repeatedly that the army was very safe.
Day after day, she spoke until her mouth was dry and parched, and she took out her military water bottle and took a few big sips.
The warm water soothed her parched throat, and she felt very comfortable.
"Your kids have all been sent back to your hometown, of course, you’re not worried. Since it’s a natural disaster, who knows when it will strike? Do you think saying it’s safe makes it safe?" Wang Guizhen, Liu Zhenguo’s wife, held all the children except for Liu Baozhu, glaring at Feng Qingxue with hostility, instinctively forgetting that her husband’s rank was lower than Lu Jiang’s.
Of course, it was uncertain whether this was instinct or intentional.
For the past two days, Wang Guizhen dared not go inside, staying with her children in a tent in the camp, as if she wanted to make a home out of the tent.
With Lu Jiang absent from Wucheng, all military work fell on the shoulders of Liu Zhenguo and the chief of staff, leaving them no time to concern themselves with her actions.
High-ranking officers’ families were each given a tent to temporarily live outside in the open area. Feng Qingxue didn’t take one and instead let it go to a low-ranking officer’s family who was frightened and gave birth, claiming her family lived in a single-story house, not a high-rise, and didn’t need a tent.
