Zhan Qiuhe recognized the two of them. She lowered her head and quickly wiped away her tears. She raised her head and greeted them with red eyes. "Young Master Lu, Mrs. Lu."
"You can call me Third Brother like Fourth Brother," Lu Xingzhi said matter-of-factly.
After he finished speaking, he noticed that Zhan Qiuhe's face was full of shock. Her parents were not any better. Only then did he smooth things over. "You can call me Third Brother Lu. Your granduncle is considered my master. There's no need to be so distant between us."
Zhan Qiuhe's parents nodded. They did not think too much about Lu Xingzhi's words.
"My condolences. The dead are gone, but the living have to continue living. You still have your daughter to accompany you, so please take care of yourself." Lu Xingzhi looked at the cemetery and said in a distant voice, "Your sons are national heroes. They are not alone in their slumber here. There are many heroes like them accompanying them here."
Lu Xingzhi did not know how to comfort people at all. However, his simple words were filled with sincerity. His words were more comforting than any other person's extravagant words.
Perhaps it was because his expression was solemn and sorrowful. Or perhaps it was because his military uniform was strong and vigorous. Just like their sons, he was also a soldier in green.
There were many people who came to attend the memorial service in the afternoon, including the national leaders and all the people who had been rescued, including Old General Liang and Old General Chen.
The memorial service lasted for two and a half hours before it ended. Although the martyrs were buried not long after their bodies were brought back, and some of them had been buried for some time, this short period of time was not enough to soothe the pain in the hearts of their loved ones. The memorial service was filled with suppressed sobs.
After the memorial service ended, Old General Liang spoke to Lu Xingzhi alone for a while. Jiang Yao listened by the side. She heard Old General Liang say that with this military merit, Lu Xingzhi would definitely be promoted regardless of whether the special forces could be established before the end of the year.
It was only then that Jiang Yao curiously glanced at Lu Xingzhi's shoulder patch on his military uniform. She couldn't see anything special about it. It was only when they got home that she shamelessly asked about it.
"What's your military rank now?" Jiang Yao remembered that in her previous life, Lu Xingzhi was only a company commander until his death. Here, everyone addressed him as Lu Xingzhi as company commander. Outside of the army, people addressed him as Young Master Lu Xingzhi.
"I became a lieutenant as soon as I graduated." Lu Xingzhi said as he took off his military uniform, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to do the rest of the housework.
He was injured, and Jiang Yao forbade him from participating in daily training. Therefore, he could only vent his energy on Jiang Yao or on housework.
"Old General Liang said that you will be promoted by the end of the year? What will you be promoted to? "
Lu Xingzhi took the broom from Jiang Yao's hand and thought for a moment before replying, "Probably enough to make you the wife of a captain."
It was not easy to be promoted in the army, especially for someone like him who was a lieutenant as soon as he graduated. The higher he went, the harder it was. Even with the Liang family's help, if he didn't have any military merit or achievements, the Liang family wouldn't be able to do anything.
Looking at Jiang Yao's expression, Lu Xingzhi knew that she had no concept of military rank.
"What was my military rank before you came back? Did I reach the rank of colonel? "Lu Xingzhi especially liked to ask Jiang Yao about the future.
