Chapter 417: Chapter 0417: Astonishing Discovery 1_1 Chapter 417: Chapter 0417: Astonishing Discovery 1_1 “Look at what this is!” Feng Qingxue nudged her chin towards the table, and Lu Jiang saw the oily paper wrapping pork head at, pig intestines, a strip of cured at, twenty salted duck eggs, two dried wild rabbits, and a small bag of flour.
All these were leftovers from ho, and even the flour was ground after rationing.
“Wife, you are so good!” Taking advantage of the opportunity when no one was in the kitchen, Lu Jiang leant over to kiss her on the cheek.
Feng Qingxue glared at him, then put the flour, dried rabbit, and cured at one by one into the bottom of the basket. Then she laid a thick layer of straw on top, placed the salted duck eggs and pork head at on it, finally covered it with an oilcloth, handed it to Lu Jiang and said, “You carry it, send Uncle Three out, and when you’ve walked a bit farther, hang it directly on his car.”
Lu Jiang did exactly as he was told.
Cheng Baoguo, pushing his old bicycle, walked in the snow. Compared to when he arrived, he now wore an extra old military coat and an old Lei Feng hat, and his hands were ward by a pair of sheepskin gloves patched with cloth.
“Ajiang, you really have to cherish your good fortune,” Cheng Baoguo felt very comforted in his heart and inevitably reminded Lu Jiang.
Lu Jiang smiled and said, “Don’t worry, who else could cherish my wife if not ?”
Cheng Baoguo laughed heartily, “Alright, you can go back. No need to see off.”
“I will watch you leave from here, please take care on the road,” Lu Jiang said as he hung the basket on the handlebar of the bicycle, and brushed off the snow accumulated on the seat, “The road may be slippery in this snowy weather. Try to exercise more.”
“You cheeky boy!” Cheng Baoguo clearly understood the implication of his words – that he should continue his journey on foot.
Those who were out shoveling snow or fetching water witnessed this scene, and as soon as Cheng Baoguo had gone far enough, they imdiately asked Lu Jiang who the visitor was.
“That’s our city’s Mayor Cheng,” Lu Jiang slightly smiled at their amazed expressions, “A long ti ago, Qingxue saved two elderly people who had fainted by the roadside. Who knew they were the parents of Mayor Cheng. Yesterday we ran into Mayor Cheng’s mother in the city. We didn’t tell them our address, but sohow they found out. Now, Mayor Cheng has co to express his thanks.”
This response was the result of careful deliberation with his father and uncle. They unanimously decided to tell others that their association with the Cheng family originated from Feng Qingxue’s life-saving favour to Mayor Cheng’s parents and that there were no other connections.
The Mayor! Such a remarkable person!
It was like a towering mountain, sothing that the ordinary people at the bottom of society did not even dare to think about.
No sooner had Lu Jiang set foot in his ho than the news spread throughout the Wanglou Brigade.
A stranger visited the Lu Family, it was the Mayor, coming to thank Feng Qingxue for saving the lives of his parents!
No matter what, many people began to regard the Lu family with awe. Firstly, due to Feng Qingxue’s dical skills, and secondly, because of their relationship with Mayor Cheng. Owing life-saving favor is not trivial; Mayor Cheng would certainly not stand by and watch others bully or isolate the Lu family. Fortunately, Feng Qingxue was the niece of Wang Zhengguo, and they all shared a good relationship.
And the Feng Qingxue they ntioned, who was always kind to others, was at ho at that very mont asking about how many good friends her father-in-law had, how many people he had helped in the past, and what kind of backup plans he had made for their family.
It was too astonishing, wasn’t it? Two sworn brothers, one a promising mayor, the other a general.
“Father, just tell and Ajiang, so we won’t be at a loss for how to address your acquaintances when we et them next ti,” Feng Qingxue was really curious. She felt as if his father-in-law had woven a dense and secure web over the Lu family.
