Lu Jiang had wanted Tian Ling to take Xibao and Fubao back to rest, but the two children refused to leave, wanting to stay with their parents. Concerned about his wife, Lu Jiang had no time to persuade his son and daughter and therefore had to compromise.
It was now almost midnight, and the two children had long fallen asleep, oblivious to the directions.
Shang Kun and Qiao Desheng each held a child, wrapped in the military overcoats that their wives had specifically brought from home.
Zhou Rong had asked the cooking squad to prepare a special meal and deliver it hot, calling out, "Commander Lu, Chief of Staff Shang, Division Commander Zhao, Minister Ouyang, Regimental Commander Qiao, and the two Sisters and Little Sister, please have something to eat while you wait."
Lu Jiang had no appetite to eat. Just as he was about to refuse, he suddenly heard a baby's cry from the delivery room.
