Chapter 108: Showing Weakness to Others 4

After his worries were gone, Lu Jiang became even more cheerful.

When he reached out to pick up his chopsticks, Zhao Yong noticed the watch on his wrist and exclaimed, "You changed your watch? This watch is not cheap. When did you buy it? I didn't notice you wearing it before."

Seeing the watch on his hand, Lu Jiang smiled with tenderness and said proudly, "My girlfriend gave it to me."

Guo Xiuying looked over and recognized the brand of the watch at a glance. She also remembered the price and said, "Huh? So your girlfriend's family is well-off? But I heard from your brother Yong that the report you submitted said that your girlfriend seems to be the daughter of a poor farmer? It seems that both her parents have passed away, and she is now living with her younger sister."

If that's the case, life must be very difficult. Where did she get the money to buy a watch? It's such an expensive imported product.

Lu Jiang came to his senses and quickly added, "What the report said is true. The money for the watch should be a gift from my father."

This is an external statement, which he and Feng Qingxue have discussed.

Lu Jiang didn't want people to think that Feng Qingxue relied on him for her living, so he explained, "However, my girlfriend is very smart and capable. She and her sister live very well. Now, thanks to the care of my comrades, she can often get some scarce supplies. Although I left her some money and tickets before I came, many supplies cannot be bought even with money and tickets."

"That's right, we know it best. The shortage of supplies outside is alarming now. Your girlfriend is very capable." People who have the ability to get supplies will not lack money to spend, and their lives will not be too difficult.

After listening to Zhao Yong's words, Lu Jiang smiled slightly.

Guo Xiuying said, "Be careful in the future. It's enough for our family members to know. If too many people know, I'm afraid it will cause trouble. Life is difficult now. Who doesn't want to get more food?"

"I know, sister-in-law, I will write a letter to remind Qingxue later."

Like Guo Xiuying thought, Lu Jiang knew that keeping a low profile in this era is the greatest protection for himself.

When he mentioned the word "Qingxue", he was afraid that Zhao Yong and Guo Xiuying would not know who she was, so he said, "Qingxue is my girlfriend, her last name is Feng."

"Feng Qingxue? This name is very elegant, like it was chosen by a scholar." Guo Xiuying praised, "I really want to meet your girlfriend, she must be a gentle and beautiful girl."

Lu Jiang nodded heavily, "Qingxue is just like what my sister-in-law said, I will definitely bring her to meet my sister-in-law if I have the chance."

After dinner, Lu Jiang said goodbye.

While packing up, Guo Xiuying said to Zhao Yong, "My father likes to eat peanuts the most, but unfortunately there is only a small supply throughout the year, so don't eat the remaining peanuts, send them to my father. My mother has bad teeth, so send the fine flour and white rice that Lu Jiang sent, as well as bacon and sausage, so that my parents can have a few meals of fine grains with some oil and water."

After listening, Zhao Yong nodded.

"Okay! You can keep some of those dried fruits and preserves for tasting, and send the rest over so that our children can have a good meal."

Even the spoiled children in their family rarely eat snacks, and it's good enough if they can eat enough. They finally have something delicious, and the first thing they think of is definitely the elderly and children.

Guo Xiuying also had this idea, and smiled: "I have to say, Lu Jiang and his girlfriend are really generous."

"That's true. Even if a stingy person has the ability and things, he won't be willing to give so much away. It's not that people from the same family are alike, and the people in the Lu family are very generous in doing things."
