After that incident, Zhao Yong became more concerned about the man who had saved his life on various matters.

Unlike Lu Jiang, whose family background was not great, Zhao Yong came from a good lineage. His father was a veteran revolutionary military officer. Although he didn’t hold a particularly high rank, he still had some say in their army division.

Zhao Yong was two years older than Lu Jiang, but they both joined the army in the same year. Now, Zhao Yong held a rank higher than Lu Jiang.

One could say, Zhao Yong was Lu Jiang’s direct superior.

Realizing it was Zhao Yong, Lu Jiang felt relieved, “Ah, it’s you, commandant. I received a telegram from my father. Everything at home is fine, he mentioned introducing me to someone and asked me to visit home during my leave.”

Having nothing to hide, Lu Jiang spoke honestly.

“Ah, that’s good news!” Zhao Yong’s son was already eight years old, but Lu Jiang was still single.

If Lu Jiang were still young it wouldn’t matter, but he was getting closer to thirty.

Zhao Yong was often worried about Lu Jiang’s marriage, but was always deterred by the demands of Lu Zhiyuan.

“It must be a good match, or else your father wouldn’t send a telegram specifically for this.” Zhao Yong was well aware of the affairs of the Lu Family.

“Hmm.” Lu Jiang nodded, “My father didn’t specify, I will know what kind of girl she is when I go home.” He believed in his father’s judgment — if she wasn’t a good girl, she wouldn’t catch his old father’s eye.

Zhao Yong patted his shoulder, “Your home leave is next month, you better work on your request now.”

He didn’t continue his sentence, but Lu Jiang clearly understood.

Zhao Yong must have wanted to say that he would help expedite the approval so he could go home sooner.

“Thank you, commandant.” Lu Jiang didn’t say much in response to the polite words.

“What’s with the formality between us? I have plenty of tickets. Take them all when you go on leave next month. If you find a girl you like, you should take her to a state-run restaurant for a meal, and then buy her some things from the department store. You don’t need to worry about the rest of the tickets, I’ve got them covered.” Zhao Yong volunteered, noting that many soldiers didn’t have families and therefore had a lot of saved up tickets.

Military grain tickets were universally accepted, and they even had a higher face value than national grain tickets.

So, Zhao Yong had already planned to let Lu Jiang take a sufficient amount of military grain tickets with him. Other military supply tickets were easy to get in the army, and they were not accessible to other units.

It was common knowledge that the best supplies were given to the military.

As they walked back to the dormitory together, Zhao Yong added, “I have a new sheepskin-lined military coat at home, never worn, you should take it with you when you go home and give it to the girl you like. It’s a high-quality item that’s not available outside.”

Lu Jiang smiled and nodded, “Sure.”

“My wife, Xiuying, has two pairs of new shoes, issued by the military. I’ll give them to you to take back.” Zhao Yong continued without stop.

Zhao Yong’s wife, Guo Xiuying, wasn’t a soldier but a field medic, her living expenses were all provided by the military.

“Alright, then I won’t stand on ceremony.”

Lu Jiang immediately drafted his request and submitted it. Knowing that he was of marriageable age and causing concern within the military, when they found out he was going home not only for family visit but also for a meet-up, and with Zhao Yong’s backing, the approval came quickly.

Once he got the approval, Lu Jiang immediately packed his bags.

Being the deputy commandant of the division under Zhao Yong, the handover of his responsibilities went smoothly.

Zhao Yong took over everything.

The bond among comrades was the strongest. There were many unmarried soldiers of a certain age, so when they found out Lu Jiang was going home for matchmaking, they handed him all kinds of ration tickets they’d stashed away, “You must seize the opportunity, don’t disappoint us.”

“Don’t worry!”

The next day, Lu Jiang took the army procurement vehicle into town, and soon got on the train home.
