When Lu Jiang was not at the military base, Jiang Xiaoyue often came to visit Feng Qingxue, bringing gifts for Xibao. She never came empty-handed.
She was frank and generous, and was really well-liked within the cultural troupe. Sometimes she would bring Yang Fengying or Fang Ning along, which showed her excellent ability to forge friendships. Her close friends were all of exemplary character.
As time passed, Feng Qingxue became close with Yang Fengying.
One day, just as they were leaving after a visit, Sang Hong arrived with a soldier that Feng Qingxue did not know.
She didn't recognize him in the sense that she didn't know his name, though she had seen him before.
He appeared to be in his thirties, but he was surely under thirty. However, the harsh conditions here made everyone look aged, with ruddy faces accented by high-altitude blush.
"Sister-in-law!" Sang Hong cheerfully said, "This is our camp commander, Qiao Desheng. He's come to ask you for a favor."
