As Zheng Xuefeng was overwhelmed with regret, Zhu Rong said, "Political Commissar, let's first take the luggage to the house. After that, I'll go get food. Wang Baozhu and the three children are not soldiers, it's not appropriate for them to eat in the canteen."

Obliged by his duty, Zhu Rong only managed to return home twice in ten years, the last visit being five years ago. Each year and each month, as long as circumstances allowed, he would reliably send his salary, military supply vouchers, and used uniforms home. He never expected his wife and son to turn out this way.
