Before Feng Qingxue could respond, Lu Erxiong raised his hand.
"I found it, I found out that mom ca from the west. Everyone in our brigade was waiting to eat at; no one saw mom co back!" He proudly puffed out his chest.
Zhou Fengchun looked suspiciously, "Weren’t you waiting for at at the brigade office?"
The Lu Family’s kids, Xibao wasn’t there, Ye Yan and Fubao were practicing calligraphy and painting at Old Master Wen’s place, Dundun and Zhuangzhuang were beside Father Lu, jumping around the most excitedly watching people slaughter pigs and sheep. Who else could it be but Lu Erxiong? He very much trusted his own eyes.
Lu Erxiong smacked his forehead, "Grand Uncle told to co call Grandpa Zhou and Brother to eat the at!"
Feng Qingxue looked helplessly at the little bear son.
Xibao concernedly said, "Mom, why didn’t you send a telegram when you ca ho? So we could pick you up."
Lu Erxiong also realized, "Yeah mom, walking back from the train station must have been tiring, right? It’s really too exhausting. When the at is divided later, I’ll give mine to you."
"Well, thank you, Erxiong." Whether it was good or not, the sentint was appreciated.
After Feng Qingxue finished speaking, she then turned to her eldest son, who was not easily deceived, and softly said, "Not tired at all. I flew to Jinling, took a train from Jinling back to Huaibei City, and hitched a ride to the production brigade at the back mountain—these were people I helped when I was practicing dicine before—and then walked over the mountains to get back. It was just over half an hour’s journey."
She intended to surprise the family, so she hadn’t inford them.
While walking, she took out her tal Detector and it beeped many tis. Although this place used to be a battlefield, and there may be many shell casings, there should also be gold and silver, so she planned to dig soti.
There will be plenty of places to spend money in the future, so gather a little more when possible!
Moreover, she and Lu Jiang usually chose gold and silver items from deserted places like wilderness, lakesides, and riversides, because due to the tis, these were more likely ownerless items. Even if the tal Detector beeped frequently in city courtyards, they wouldn’t be tempted as those might be hidden by forr owners or current ones, which would be too risky to handle.
Of course, they did dig up a small amount of gold and silver jewelry privately hidden by so unsavory figures when ransacking hos, much like Deng Nan’s ex-wife Zhang Rong who also liked to hide such things in her own underground corners.
Xibao, unaware of her mother’s plans, pulled her to sit and rest, poured her water, and then sent Lu Erxiong to find Father Lu and the other siblings.
"Missing one feast of at won’t leave us starving. I’m not going to the at distribution. Our mom just got ho after such a long journey and is very tired. Apart from a quiet word to Grand Uncle or Auntie, let’s not tell others yet. When mom is rested and goes out on her own, they’ll see her then." Xibao understood the hotown folks too well.
Lu Erxiong nodded, taking big strides first to the old folks’ place to call Ye Yan and Fubao, then ran to the brigade office to whisper in Father Lu’s ear, and finally went to find Cheng Baoguo and Wang Cuilan.
Father Lu, along with Dundun and Zhuangzhuang, were naturally surprised and delighted, leaving the at division in a hurry to get back ho.
Cheng Baoguo and his wife, upon hearing the news, followed without a second thought.
By the ti they reached ho, Fubao was nestled in Feng Qingxue’s arms, with her hands around her neck. Entirely lacking the deanor of a young girl in her pri, she looked more like a child, and the mother and daughter were warmly affectionate.
