Chapter 938: Chapter 938: A World for Two 6 Chapter 938: Chapter 938: A World for Two 6 Lu Jiang reacted the fastest, patting the back of Feng Qingxue’s hand.
“Stop thinking about it,” he said in a low voice.
Although angry just like his wife, he knew better than her how to restrain himself.
In this situation, getting angry was futile.
Feng Qingxue slowly exhaled, suppressing the rage in her heart, and said to her husband, “I know, don’t worry, I won’t say or do anything impulsive. I’m clear about our current predicant.”
She would not confront these students, as the trend of the tis dictated.
Not before, not now, not in the future. Not having been hard, she had no right to act on anyone else’s behalf.
“That’s right,” he affird.
Lu Jiang didn’t say anything further, but his face was stern, deep, and authoritative. Feng Qingxue saw in him the deanor of a famous general who had battled on the fields, not the gentleness he displayed towards family.
He should be like this, for her to both like and admire him as his wife.
“I’m hungry, I want to eat sothing.” The noodles from midday had long been digested, and Feng Qingxue climbed to the end of the bunk, opened her bag, and with a bit of a show, took out green onion pancakes wrapped in gauze, handing two to Lu Jiang.
Though not made by herself, but bought in a previous life, white flour and green onions were a scarcity in this era.
Others seed to catch the scent, sniffing around and turning their attention to Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue. Seeing the couple dressed in military garb, aside from salivating, they made no other moves.
The girl who spoke earlier seed to be called Zhou Ping, as Feng Qingxue heard those traveling with her calling her.
With thick eyebrows and big eyes, sporting a Hu Lan haircut, she looked energetic and upright, but her intentions were anything but good.
Feng Qingxue morized her face and her na, vowing to one day expose her wrongdoing to the world, because the world is vast yet small, and she wasn’t sure if she would encounter Zhou Ping in the future.
Just then, a train attendant ca to deliver hot water. Many people began taking out their enal mugs to fill up, eating their dry provisions brought on board. Zhou Ping started berating the attendant, accusing them of disrespecting the passengers, claiming that their failure to deliver als was an intentional act to sabotage the revolution, and such, with a horribly offensive attitude.
Lu Jiang cast them a cold glance and said to Feng Qingxue, “Back when I was fighting, I often heard leaders admonishing us, insisting on not taking even a needle or a thread from the common folks, which often led to the leaders accumulating debts. Even though nearly twenty years have passed, I have always rembered the rules set by the old leaders and have dared not forget.”
Feng Qingxue feigned ignorance, “Why’d they accumulate so much debt?”
“Because the leaders had to write IOUs. They signed countless promissory notes throughout their lives. Even for a sip of water, the leaders would bear it in mind, feeling indebted to the common folk,” Lu Jiang stated each word with gravity. “If mbers of my military unit were caught taking things from the people without permission, the more severe cases would lead to expulsion from the military, and the less severe, to severe disciplinary actions. If the offense was graver, it would be a serious breach of anti-corruption norms, and a bullet was inevitable, just like the officer who was executed last year.”
His words were spoken with conviction and an imposing air.
In an instant, the carriage fell silent.
The students, who had been bossing the attendant around, now restrained themselves considerably, not daring to make another peep.
Grateful, the train attendant filled both Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue’s enal mugs to the brim with boiling water.
