Chapter 293: The Daughter Gets Married 1
"Fool! Who said I don't miss you?"
Eight letters, Feng Qingxue read each one three, four, or even five times, holding them tightly to her chest, talking to herself, laughing until tears came out of her eyes. It was hard to imagine Lu Jiang writing a letter seriously.
"Correct it quickly, OK, I'll correct it right away." Putting down the received letter, Feng Qingxue immediately unfolded the letter paper and wrote like flowing water.
After writing, seal it.
At lunch, Feng Qingxue said to her two nephews: "Tianjun, Acheng, come to the city with me tomorrow."
Lu Tianjun and Guancheng nodded without asking the reason, "I know, aunt."
Lu's father asked one more question, "What's the matter? It's nothing important, just ask the two boys to run errands, and you rest at home." Her belly was getting bigger day by day, and it was freezing and snowy, so Lu's father didn't feel at ease letting her go out.
Feng Qingxue shook her head. "Ajiang said in the letter that he had surgery ahead of schedule, scheduled for early December, which is only a few days away. His comrades sent him a lot of nutritional supplements, so I sent him some. But I'm afraid he'd already had the surgery by the time it reached him, so it was just right to supplement. Ajiang sent his salary, and I had to go get it back. A lot of Ajiang's comrades died, and their families lived in great hardship. Ajiang left me their home addresses, and I sent them some money and food coupons. In addition, Ajiang's comrade in the northwest, Huo Beiting, didn't send anything, but he sent a lot of military supply tickets, food coupons and material tickets. I want to use the food coupons to exchange some food here and send it back to him. The conditions over there are difficult, and so many food coupons are not used because there is not enough food for them to collect."
For example, Huo Beiting has 40 kilograms of food coupons every month, but the local situation makes it impossible to sell him 40 kilograms of food, or the Corps canteen can only supply him 30 kilograms of food every month, so 10 kilograms of food coupons are left.
The climate in the northwest is bad, as everyone knows.
Regions are divided according to the local economic level and living conditions, also known as wage zones. The country is divided into eleven categories. The first category has the best conditions but the lowest wages. For each higher category, the wages increase by 3%. The worst conditions are Qinghai, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and other places, which are eleven categories. The wages are the highest, but the geographical location is remote, the conditions are difficult, and the materials are extremely scarce.
The capital is a sixth category, Shanghai is an eighth category, and his hometown is also a sixth category.
Huo Beiting is in the eleventh category, and the most lacking thing must be food.
The food that Feng Qingxue sent to the northwest was for Huo Beiting, and I don’t know if he has received it now.
So Feng Qingxue exchanged the military supply tickets he sent for supplies, and sent all the food to him, and sent part of the other materials back to him, and part to Lu Jiang. He only kept eight kilograms of cotton quilts for Wang Jiao as a dowry quilt.
With only one daughter, Wang Zhengguo and Miao Fengqin had been saving up dowry for her very early. Before liberation, they lived in the Lu family, where they had very good living conditions. The family had enough cloth and cotton for Wang Jiao to make clothes and quilts. The two quilts had silk and satin surfaces, respectively, and were colorful and very eye-catching.
Wang Jiao wore a Shanghai watch, a red sweater she knitted herself, black pants she made herself, and Lantang leather shoes. She wore a red cotton jacket instead of a coat over the sweater, without a coat.
A red satin cotton jacket with a stand-up collar, a slanted lapel, and a red background with gold silk flowers.
