Chapter 1770 Arrangements for Returning Home 3
After leaving the armed forces department, Feng Qingxue looked up at the sky and exhaled a foul breath.
It's almost time, it's almost time, in about twenty months, all the suffering will end, and the people who are struggling at the bottom will see the light of day again. They have survived for so many years, and these last one or two years are not a big deal.
Feng Qingxue raised her hand to check the time and went into the state-owned restaurant.
She first respected Luo Yi and then respected people. Her dress and her aura made her receive sufficiently thoughtful service. She also took out four lunch boxes without hesitation and bought the braised mutton, braised pork and a portion of mutton noodles served today. She also bought ten big white steamed buns and a portion of mutton soup, but she only ate a portion of mutton noodles, and put the rest into the space under the cover of the backpack.
While eating, Feng Qingxue saw several pairs of shy and timid young men and women, eating a bite of food and looking at each other, which reminded her of the scene when she and Lu Jiang first went to the state-owned restaurant to eat.
More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. Thinking about it now, it seems like a lifetime ago.
Thinking that Lu Jiang had not been back for more than three months, she had made a few phone calls during this period without revealing anything. Feng Qingxue's long eyelashes drooped slightly, and she was in a very bad mood. She just hoped that the things in the capital would be settled as soon as possible and her husband would return home soon.
In the afternoon, she had to give Deng Wu an injection before she could go back. Feng Qingxue wandered around the city after dinner.
Wucheng was similar to Baozhou. It was gray everywhere, with only a little popular military green embellishment in the snow.
She found a secluded place, looked around and saw no one. She took off her half-new military coat that had lost some color after washing, and took off her ** cap, scarf and mask. Although the clothes and hats were old, the fabric could not deceive a discerning person. In addition, she had an extraordinary aura, so the young women who were strictly investigating speculation and the waiters in the state-owned restaurant were very respectful to her.
In an instant, she turned from a female soldier into an ordinary woman.
The trousers and jacket covered with a cotton coat under the coat were washed white, with inconspicuous patches, and the common blue and blue colors. The scarf and gloves were replaced with very old ones. The blue old square scarf was wrapped on the head, still covering a fair and white face, revealing only two eyes.
After putting the backpack into the space, Feng Qingxue walked out of the secluded alley with two bamboo baskets covered with coarse cloth on her left and right.
Her every move was just like a country girl who had just come to the city.
She wanted to exchange some local tickets for Deng Hongling and her niece, because the military food coupons were too eye-catching.
Knowing their existence, if she ignored them, she would not be able to explain to Lu Jiang, and Lu Jiang would not be able to let down the comradeship of fighting side by side with Deng Nan.
She was very experienced and walked to the coal factory in two steps.
Wucheng has rich mineral resources and has developed several mines. Miners have the highest food supply, with 45 kilograms of food coupons per person per month. Many workers in the coal plant receive the same treatment. If you are a bachelor, you can more than support yourself. If you have a family, some can support their families, but some have to live a tight life because of too many families.
Feng Qingxue has been in Wucheng for a few years and has learned a little local dialect. She chose an old woman who was basking in the sun and whose clothes were clean and tidy with few patches. She walked up to her and said in dialect: "Auntie, I can't find anyone to visit my relatives. Can you give me a sip of hot water?"
The old woman said in surprise: "Of course I can afford a sip of hot water, but why can't I find anyone?"
Feng Qingxue shook her head, "I don't know. I came here according to the address that relative left for me. I asked the neighbors and they all said that there was no such person. I don't know if I remembered it wrong."
