Chapter 890: Chapter 0890: Family Reunion 2 Chapter 890: Chapter 0890: Family Reunion 2 Lu Jiang had clearly seen this situation as well and couldn’t help but frown, driving straight ho.
Having not returned for several years, logically, the days in the city should have gotten better since the famine had passed for a few years now, and things should have recovered. Yet, the result was a smoggy ss, completely in ruins, practically hell on earth.
The procession on the streets, the posters plastered all over the walls, the stages erected all over—it all lded into a bitterly unbearable landscape.
Fubao was extrely sensitive and shrank into Feng Qingxue’s embrace in fear.
“Fubao is good, Fubao isn’t scared, Mommy is holding Fubao,” Feng Qingxue hugged her, preventing her from seeing outside, even covering her ears so she wouldn’t hear the sounds of smashing and insults coming from so houses as they passed by.
Wang Zhengguo exhaled deeply, a glimr of distress flashing across his eyes, but he said nothing.
Silence pervaded the entire carriage.
It wasn’t until Chen Xueniang’s voice ca through, “Xiaoxue? Xibao? Is it really you? I thought I was seeing things!”
Lu Jiang imdiately pulled on the reins, and Feng Qingxue looked toward the voice to see Chen Xueniang standing by the roadside, pushing an old bicycle with a bamboo basket hanging from the handlebars. Her face, still bearing traces of her past charm, was alight with surprise.
“Xueniang, sister,” Feng Qingxue, holding Fubao, got off the carriage, “aren’t you at work? I was planning to visit Uncle Cheng, Auntie Cheng, and you in a couple of days.”
“What work? With all this chaos, who has the mind to work?” Without ntioning the fact that the textile factory was paralyzed because most of its workers were caught up in the movent, Chen Xueniang parked her bicycle, ca over to hug Xibao, and looked at Fubao with both eyes smiling, “Is this Fubao? She’s grown up so well, looks just like you! Can I give you a kiss?”
Fubao bit her little finger, gazing curiously at Chen Xueniang, “You can’t kiss , let Mommy kiss .”
Chen Xueniang laughed heartily, patting her little head, “What a good child, that’s right, don’t talk to strangers.”
Xibao waved to her, and when she drew near, he said, “Auntie, you can kiss !”
He looked as if he were doing her a great favor.
“Ah?” Chen Xueniang was montarily stunned, then couldn’t help but kiss his forehead, “Xibao, why have you gotten so thin? Even your double chin is gone, hasn’t your mother been feeding you? You even seem a bit darker.”
“Not at all!” Xibao squinted his big eyes, “I’m very handso, I’ve eaten a lot and lots of food.”
Chen Xueniang chuckled, “Yes, yes, Xibao is the most handso, we all know this fact.”
After saying this, she turned to Feng Qingxue, “I’ll co to see you in a few days, don’t co into the city. You’ve seen the state the city is in, don’t get into trouble.”
Feng Qingxue didn’t put on airs, “Alright, we’ve been on the train for the whole journey and are quite tired, so we’ll head back first.”
Chen Xueniang nodded, watching them off, then quickly mounted her bicycle. She wanted to spread the good news of Feng Qingxue’s return to Wang Cuilan and her family. Before Cheng Baoguo and his wife had passed away, they often spoke about Feng Qingxue and Xibao, so knowing they had co back, Cheng Baoguo and Wang Cuilan would surely be very happy and surely the Chengs in the afterlife would be overjoyed as well.
It was only after Feng Qingxue returned ho and saw Lu’s father that she learned Cheng Baoguo and his wife had passed away one after the other, and she couldn’t help feeling a wave of sadness.
The children who were naively innocent didn’t understand what eternal separation ant; Lu Tianzhi and Guan Yu, who had grown into teenagers, huddled by Feng Qingxue’s side, chattering and laughing, all teeth and no eyes in their amusent, while Feng Qingyun clung to her sister, refusing to leave even for a step.
