Chapter 499: Unable to Visit Relatives 4

Feng Qingxue picked up the basket and put it on the table to prevent the fat boy from knocking it over and breaking the eggs. She urged Chen Xuenniang to go into the house to change clothes and gave her her old cotton and linen clothes. She said, "Sister Xuenniang, don't bring anything every time you come. It's either eggs or meat, or biscuits, candies, and trough cakes."

Now, Chen Xuenniang is the most popular guest in their family.

Children's hearts are the most sensitive, and eating has always been the top priority in their lives.

Feng Qingxue rarely takes food out of the space when she doesn't go into the city, for fear of arousing suspicion. Therefore, the arrival of Chen Xuenniang is the happiest time for the children. Even if she brings a piece of candy, they can be happy for a long time.

Chen Xuenniang changed her clothes and hung her wet clothes on the clothes rack to dry. "You know me. One person's fullness feeds the whole family. I have money. I earn more than 30 yuan a month. I can eat as much as I want in the canteen. If I feel hungry, I can go to the state-owned restaurant for a feast." In addition to the staple food, which requires food coupons, the canteen collects a certain amount of oil coupons. You don't need coupons to eat vegetables and meat in the canteen and state-owned restaurants. You just need money.

Chen Xuenniang never treats herself badly. She continued, "The last two times I came, there was not even a pig hair left in the food store. Today I'm lucky. I took a look before I came and bought a pair of large intestines and a few ribs. You can stew pork rib soup for Xibao, or noodles."

The weather is hot and meat will spoil easily if left for a long time. The two of them hurried to clean up, and Chen Xuenniang distributed the crispy candies she brought to the children.

First stew the ribs, then clean the pig large intestines. The biggest dish in the evening is stir-fried pig intestines.

Feng Qingxue first served a large plate of food and asked Guan Cheng to send it to Grandpa Xu and Aunt Xu, and also asked Father Lu to come back for dinner.

"Aunt, Grandpa said he was eating with Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu, and he won't come tonight." This was what Father Lu deliberately avoided when he learned that Chen Xuenniang was coming, so as to avoid gossip.

Feng Qingxue nodded, not caring, and invited everyone to eat.

Their family and Grandpa Xu and Aunt Xu had long been inseparable. Sometimes Father Lu didn't want to come and would eat with them in the cowshed. Anyway, there was enough food.

At night, the two sisters slept in the same bed, with Xi Bao, who was full and sleeping soundly, in the middle.

The windows were wide open, and the cool breeze after the rain was blowing, and there were bursts of mugwort fragrance.

There are many mosquitoes in summer, and mosquitoes after the rain are scrambling to fly into the house, so Feng Qingxue burned a bundle of wild mugwort in each room before going to bed to repel mosquitoes, which was much better.

"Xi Bao's father is away for a long time, don't you miss him? Don't you usually contact him?" Chen Xuenniang asked.

"Yes, of course I don't." Feng Qingxue answered without hesitation, with a flash of longing in her eyes. "But, the country comes first, and my family comes second. No matter how much I miss him, I have to suppress it all in my heart, so that outsiders will not think that my longing is dissatisfaction with my family, A Jiang, stationed at the border. As for contact, now we can only rely on letters, there is no other way."

Even if it is letters, she received the first letter two or three months after Lu Jiang left, and the second letter was received a few days after Chen Xueniang returned to the city. Along with the letters, there were two bundles filled with medicinal herbs and specialties that Lu Jiang asked local people to purchase.

The whole article is about Lu Jiang's concern for his family, and the question of whether Xi Bao would call him dad. In response to Feng Qingxue's consecutive letters asking him if he could take Xi Bao to visit him in the army, he gave a negative answer in the end. He couldn't visit relatives. First, the journey was long and the environment in the plateau was harsh. Second, the conditions in the army were difficult and there was no way to accommodate the family members who came to visit relatives.

. . Haha, there was no mistake today. I can't update at noon. I will update in the afternoon.
