Chapter 1916 New Year 2
Lu Jiang's nose almost touched the closed door and he noticed that the little nurse passing by in the corridor was snickering. He coughed twice and glared back with a stern face, which made the little nurse run away. Then he slowly left the hospital. Walk towards home.
The cold air slapped my face, making me feel like I had a runny nose.
The guard following him couldn't help but sniff. Seeing Lu Jiang suddenly stop and turn around, he was startled, "Comrade Lu, what can you do?" Otherwise, why did you stop?
This guard, Wang Qiao, is very young, only twenty years old. He has an ordinary appearance but his eyes are like lightning. He is the leading soldier of the guard regiment.
Lu Jiang asked: "Are you going to catch a cold?"
"No, I just feel it's a bit cold outside. It's freezing. It feels colder than that day when it snowed." Wang Qiao answered honestly. If blowing his nose wasn't so unsightly, he would have taken action long ago.
Lu Jiang raised his eyes and looked at the twilight sun on the horizon, "Obviously, it's not cold when it snows."
Finding that Wang Qiao was slightly thinner than the other guards, wrapped in an old and patched military coat, Lu Jiang couldn't help but frowned, "Why don't you wear the military coat that was issued to you? Everyone else is wearing it." "
Wang Qiao smiled sheepishly and sniffed hard, "My brother is marrying me a sister-in-law at the end of the year. My sister-in-law's family wants a military coat. My mother asked someone to write a letter and send it, saying that my brother should marry a wife. It’s easy. If I waste any more time, I’ll be a bachelor, so I’ll send my military coat and salary back to my hometown.”
The most fashionable thing right now is military uniforms, and the most popular thing in winter is definitely the military coat.
"You are still young. You will have a family in the future. Save some money for yourself after receiving your salary. Don't think about your family. No one can guarantee that someone will stay in the army for a lifetime." Such children were treated harshly by their families after they retired from the army. Lu Jiang heard There is a lot of talk about the fragrance far away and the smell close by. However, many soldiers and children have not encountered such good things. Instead, they have to support the whole family with one salary, which is taken for granted.
Wang Qiao said with a silly smile: "My mother said, I am outside, my mother and father are all taken care of by my brother and sister-in-law. I am also a son, so it is right for me to send my salary home. The whole family relies on this money to eat. Woolen cloth!"
Lu Jiang felt something bad when he heard it. Is this child going to follow the same path as others?
"How many brothers do you have?"
"Three. I have a brother who is a twin with me. Both sisters are out. The brother is sweet-talking and handsome. He married an educated youth the year before last. He was married earlier than my brother and I. I became pregnant that year. My mother asked me to send him the military coat.”
Lu Jiang paused, "Listen to me, your three brothers should be equally sharing the pension for your parents. You should send one-third of your salary every month... No, a sudden reduction of most of it is likely to cause If there is a commotion, just send half of it and keep the rest. If your family asks why you don’t send them all home, just say I told you and buy the rest to study.”
A soldier's bounden duty is to obey orders. Although Wang Qiao was a little confused, he immediately obeyed.
After returning home, Lu Jiang found a semi-old military coat and gave it to him. He patted his shoulder and said, "Your coat is very old. Wear this one and work hard. When you finish working here, I'll find a good unit for you."
"Thank you!" Wang Qiao was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth.
He was just obedient. At this moment, he never thought that one day he would be happy that he had saved half of his salary according to Lu Jiang's order and would not be restricted by his parents after changing jobs.
