Chapter 389: Chapter 0389 Casual Dinner Chat 1_1 Chapter 389: Chapter 0389 Casual Dinner Chat 1_1 “Uncle, Auntie!” Feng Qingxue decided spontaneously, blocking Wang Zhengjun’s unreasonable request, as if just noticing him, “Oh, Uncle Zhengjun is here too? But you’re an important person in the city and always busy. How do you find ti to return to our old ho? It’s been over a year since our last eting. Oh, we’ve reached the end of the year so the new year is just around the corner. Are you here to visit Uncle Lu and my other uncles?”
Wang Zhengjun narrowed his eyes.
He had last seen Feng Qingxue at Wang Jiao’s wedding a year ago, and as ti passed, he practically forgot her.
Feng Qingxue smiled, “It seems Uncle Zhengjun has a rich man’s forgetfulness, not rembering who I am. But that’s okay, as long as I recognize you. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if we et face to face and I appear impolite.”
Miao Fengqin was always happy to see her niece, especially grateful for her interruption, “Xiaoxue, what’s the matter?”
Feng Qingxue quickly changed her mind and didn’t ntion the introduction letter, “I need Uncle’s help with sothing, can you co along with ? It’s urgent, really urgent, and only you can help solve it.”
Saying this, she turned to Wang Zhengjun: “Uncle Zhengjun, this is extrely important, it’s a matter of life and death, so I have to take Uncle away. Please understand, and when we et next ti, I’ll apologize to you.” She grabbed Wang Zhenguo’s sleeve and walked in the direction she had co from, not giving Wang Zhengjun a chance to react or object. She moved swiftly, as if in a hasty urgency.
They crossed the river and slowed down at the Lu family’s front door, where Feng Qingxue burst into laughter.
“Xiaoxue, what’s the matter that involves human life and requires my intervention?” Wang Zhenguo, now free from his younger brother, couldn’t help but ask. He felt exhausted from the semi-sprint walk.
Feng Qingxue said with a smile, “I need you to write an introduction letter. I want to send so things to Ajiang’s war comrade.”
It was winter again, and Hu Ping had sent them many specialties from the Northeast. They had just received them that day, and so other comrades also sent so New Year gifts.
She and Lu Jiang had agreed to take so grain from ho as an excuse, and secretly add more during the journey. They would not send any scarce goods. Even if soone were to check the parcel upon arrival, nothing suspicious should be discovered.
In the past two years, every now and then when she cooked, she’d add so of her space food to the als. With the commodities sent by the comrades, and her own additions of double the amount, along with digging up wild vegetables with the kids during spring and sumr, plus the thriving lons and crops in their own field, they’d managed to save several hundred pounds of grain.
Wang Zhenguo was startled when he heard it, he nodded and said, “That’s not a big deal, I’ll write it tonight and call Lu Jiang to pick it up. Is it that your war comrades sent you guys more stuff? This is your return gift.”
“Yes, that comrade from the Northeast sends us specialties twice a year.”
In winter they send fall harvests, and in spring they send winter collectibles. There’s not much to do in winter, so they often go into the mountains.
The vast mountain range where they live is a natural treasure trove, very rich in resources.
Wang Zhenguo rubbed his hands together, feeling sowhat embarrassed, “Err, Xiaoxue, I have a favor to ask.”
“What is it? Please tell .”
“You know very well how gluttonous your cousin is. Now, she has to breastfeed Goudan and if she doesn’t eat at for one al, she can’t produce enough milk. Her family and ours are now saving up good food for her. I’d like to exchange so dried at for grain, I’ll take it to her and help relieve her husband, Yuejin’s worries. Once Goudan is four or five months old and can eat rice soup and egg custards, we won’t need to look after your cousin as much.”
