Chapter 218: Return of the Three Dynasties 2
The next morning, Lu Jiang picked up two canned fruits and a can of luncheon meat from home, and then borrowed a mule cart from the brigade. After a simple breakfast, he and Feng Qingxue rushed to Caohu Brigade.
Aunt Feng, holding her eldest grandson, and Feng Qingyun, were waiting at the intersection early.
Seeing the couple driving the mule cart from afar, Aunt Feng smiled, and Feng Qingyun had already shouted "Sister, brother-in-law" and ran up until they were in front.
Lu Jiang immediately stopped the mule.
"Slow down! What if the mule hits you?" Feng Qingxue scolded while getting off the car, pulling her sister up and down to look at her. She was safe and sound, as round and cute as she was before she got married, and she was relieved immediately.
Feng Qingyun pointed at the mule's hoof with a smile, "Sister, I'm far away from it, so I won't be hit! Sister, I miss you so much, will you and brother-in-law take me with you today?"
It's really sad to live without my sister.
Living in someone else's house, even if they try to give me the best food instead of fooling me with coarse grains, I feel embarrassed to eat. It was the same situation at my aunt's house before. She waited for her sister until her neck stretched out.
Lu Jiang said: "Yes, your sister and I will take you home today!"
"Great!"
Amid Feng Qingyun's cheers, Second Aunt Feng had already walked up to her and said with a smile: "Don't block other people's way here, let's go home, and talk about it when we get home. Xiaoxue, I have something to give you!"
"What is it?" Feng Qingxue asked.
Aunt Feng smiled and said, "The gift money you received on the day you got married."
The people who came to the wedding banquet did not eat and drink for free. They gave gifts according to their closeness to Feng Qingxue. The closest relatives, such as Uncle Wang and his sisters, gave five yuan each. Uncle Feng, as a real uncle, also gave five yuan. The distant relatives, such as the relatives in Caohu Brigade, gave as little as thirty or fifty cents, and as much as one yuan. Those who really had no money gave a few kilograms of coarse grains.
Feng Qingxue's brothers should also give gifts, but they did not show up, so they were ignored.
When they settled the accounts, everyone finally understood why the two brothers did not associate with their sister, because they were afraid of spending money and effort!
So, Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng received a total of thirty-two and a half yuan and twenty kilograms of dried sweet potatoes, and gave them all to Feng Qingxue. They also gave her the registered gift list and started cooking.
Feng Qingxue said hurriedly: "Second uncle and aunt, stop working, we will go home for lunch. My father-in-law told me to cook lunch for the three of us. Lu Jiang is injured, so I have to ask my second uncle and my first and second cousins to help move the big boxes and some furniture in our house into the car." After settling in Wanglou Brigade, the belongings you bought must be taken away.
"No problem!" Second uncle Feng and his son agreed very straightforwardly.
Although Feng Qingxue and her sister had nothing when they were kicked out, they actually bought a lot of things this year.
Wardrobes, cabinets, beds, tables and chairs, boxes, pots and pans, beddings and clothes, etc., a mule cart could not fit them all. Second uncle Feng borrowed two mule carts from the brigade and finally cleaned the house.
Because the doors and windows were made of excellent wood, Second uncle Feng also unloaded them and loaded them onto the car.
"I heard that both of your brothers are eyeing this house. With their heartless looks, you don't have to leave them anything! Don't worry about the vegetable garden outside. When it's time to harvest the vegetables and grains in the field, I'll send them to you. You can tell the old man that I'll take back the private plots given to you two then."
