Chapter 75: Give and Take 3
Although Father Lu was trapped in Wanglou Brigade and could not move freely, he knew the situation outside because Lu Jiang was a soldier.
In this era when the average salary was 30 yuan a month, a watch was a person's annual salary, and most people who received salaries had to bear the expenses of the whole family, including senior cadres, and there was no spare money to buy imported watches.
That is, soldiers like Lu Jiang and single young people like seamen, who had no family burden and high salary, would be willing to buy.
Most of the imported watches sold, such as Rolex, Omega, and Grand Rome, were bought by them.
Feng Qingxue was indeed not simple.
Father Lu and Lu Jiang looked at each other and understood each other.
Feng Qingxue's frankness made them feel very comfortable and happy.
In the next two days, Lu Jiang kept running to the city to buy candy, food, and vegetables.
Candy was given to the woman's family when he visited her, and food and vegetables were used to prepare meals to entertain Feng Qingxue on the day of recognition.
Lu Jiang went to the city mainly to buy meat. He found that meat was really hard to buy. He went to queue up at midnight the day before, but when it was his turn the next morning, there was no meat. In the end, he asked someone to help him, but he only bought a piece of ribs and a pig ear.
Seeing that the dishes prepared at home were not enough, Lu Jiang went to the mountains to hunt again.
In fact, because of the excessive logging during the Great Steelmaking Period and the shortage of materials caused by the famine, many people went to the mountains to find food. In the past two years, wild animals have rarely appeared. However, Lu Jiang squatted in the deep mountains and forests and successfully shot two wild rabbits and a pheasant. He also caught a wild big black fish and some small crucian carp and white rice strips from the mountain stream.
Lu's father took his two grandsons to clean the cowshed where their grandfathers lived, and specially scrubbed the cows, horses, mules and donkeys in the cowshed, trying to leave a good impression on Feng Qingxue.
Even if they live in the cowshed, they are a good family who love cleanliness!
Father Lu was very particular about his family, and his family did not change because of his family's decline.
At the same time, Feng Qingxue was not idle at home.
She used the trough cakes, candies, malted milk and other things that she brought back to nourish Feng Qingyun's body, and secretly used the tonics in the space to nourish herself, while dealing with the elders and villagers who came to inquire about the news and eat wedding candies. After all, she did not hide the fact that she met Lu Jiang from anyone.
Feng Qingxue had plenty of food and clothing, and she became more and more beautiful. There were many people who cared about her. Now that they heard that she had a boyfriend, on the one hand, they were curious about why she fell in love with Lu Jiang, who had a bad family background, and on the other hand, they regretted not asking someone to be a matchmaker earlier.
After sending away these elders and villagers who came to inquire, Feng Qingxue concentrated on making clothes.
She was about to officially enter the Lu family, and in order to show her importance, she decided to dress up well.
Dressing up, first of all, is reflected in clothes.
So she made a coat out of the newly bought plaid, specially made into a windbreaker style, with a lapel and double-breasted buttons, which was quite standard, not unusual in this era, and just reached the knees, with a pair of black corduroy pants and Lantang leather shoes underneath.
Although she could sew and mend, she was not very fast, so she secretly used a sewing machine to rush it out.
The black buttons and thread were all from the space, and the lining was made of the gray fabric from the space that was not eye-catching but very smooth. She prepared these things when she prepared the sewing machine, and now they just happened to be used.
