Chapter 962: Chapter 962: Young Admiration for Ai 3 Chapter 962: Chapter 962: Young Admiration for Ai 3 Ordinary people’s monthly salary just vanished like that, and Lu Tianjun’s monthly salary wasn’t even enough to settle the bill.
“I can’t believe my month’s salary isn’t enough to cover today’s mutton hotpot!” Lu Tianjun showed a mix of genuine and feigned embarrassnt, “It seems I’m not working hard enough, uncle, auntie, I’ve let you down!”
Before Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue could even speak, Jiang Xiaoyue quickly comforted him, “You’ve just joined the military; which recruit instantly earns hundreds for their salary? When I first joined, my salary was even a few bucks less than yours! If it wasn’t for the support from my dad and brother, my ager salary wouldn’t have covered my food. A soldier’s salary goes up with rank. Once you reach Uncle Lu’s level, with many years of service, the monthly salary and allowances could afford you several als of mutton hotpot.”
Lu Tianjun asked excitedly, “Do you think I could reach my uncle’s rank soday?”
“Of course!” Jiang Xiaoyue didn’t hesitate and responded crisply, “My dad always says you and your uncle both have the potential of a general. There aren’t many young people who could receive such praise from my dad.”
Lu Tianjun was stunned for a mont, “Comrade Jiang Lao praised ?”
“Yeah!” Jiang Xiaoyue said with a radiant smile, “My dad really likes you. He says you have a resolute mind and both wisdom and courage. Unlike and my nephew who are single-minded and impulsive, or so in the compound who flaunt their elder’s achievents and ss around with useless things.”
“Really?” Lu Tianjun could hardly believe it.
Feng Qingxue sipped the mutton soup, listening to their back-and-forth conversation.
As for her and Lu Jiang, well, they seed to have been forgotten by the excited young couple before them.
There was a hint of amusent in Lu Jiang’s eyes. Although he hadn’t spent as much ti with his nephew as his wife had, he thought he understood the young man’s thoughts. This kid’s attitude was exactly like his own when he t his wife!
Knowing beauty, one admires Mu Xiao’ai; normal, normal.
Jiang Xiaoyue unconsciously ate the grilled mutton skewers handed to her by Lu Tianjun, then suddenly recalled the presence of Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue, her cheeks flushing red as she stuttered, “The mutton soup is so hot, it’s made sweat profusely.”
Feng Qingxue held back her laughter and nodded, “Mutton is heaty. It’s made my face red too.”
“Ever since Auntie Xue suggested I eat more heaty foods, I’ve been careful. Every ti we go out, I make sure to have a al with mutton, not always hotpot, sotis just a mutton soup.”
“Do you feel better? What did the doctor say?” Feng Qingxue asked with concern.
Before Jiang Xiaoyue could answer, Lu Tianjun asked, “Auntie, is Comrade Jiang alright? Is there sothing bothering her?”
Feng Qingxue hurriedly said, “It’s nothing, nothing to worry about. It’s just that Xiaoyue has a bit of cold weakness. A few years ago, we asked a doctor for a prescription to adjust her condition. Today, I see Xiaoyue’s complexion, and she should be fine now.”
“Yeah, I’m fine! Comrade Lu, you don’t have to worry,” Jiang Xiaoyue joined in, a glint of joy in her eyes, then turned to Feng Qingxue, “I’ve been drinking the herbal dicine prescribed by Doctor Guo for half a year. It’s worked wonders. Doctor Guo told my dad that it’s good we caught it early. Being young and full of vigor, I recovered quickly. It would be difficult to adjust if it was left for ten or eight years.”
While saying this, Jiang Xiaoyue was deeply grateful for Feng Qingxue’s initial reminder.
