Chapter 84 Selecting a Homestead 4

In the afternoon, Lu Jiang sent Feng Qingxue home, and then went to find Wang Zhengguo to approve the housing site they had chosen.

When Miao Fengqin saw Lu Jiang, she smiled faintly, not as distant as she was to Lu's father.

Wang Zhengguo certainly hoped that his niece would get better and better, but the housing site belonged to the production brigade, and he was the one who made the decision. He had to have a reason to deal with other people, so he didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "It's okay for you to build a house on this housing site. In the spring, I will find someone to make adobe bricks for you to build the house, but you have to give me fifty yuan to pay to the brigade."

No one can find fault with spending money to buy a housing site.

Others who asked him to approve housing sites were all like this, either exchanging them for food or buying them with money.

Lu Jiang readily took out five big unity notes, "Then I'll trouble Uncle Wang."

"No trouble, I'll be very happy if you and Xue live a good life in the future."

Wang Zhengguo waved his hand and took Lu Jiang to the brigade office. Fifty yuan was deposited into the account, and the homestead was also assigned to Lu Jiang's name.

Soon, the news that Lu Jiang bought a homestead to build a new house spread, but no one said a word of gossip.

Lu Jiang only had 20 days of home visit leave. After buying the homestead, he was busy visiting relatives and friends and treating them to dinner. In two days, he brought back enough tiles to build three rooms and piled them in Wang Zhengguo's yard.

He was worried that if the tiles were placed in the cowshed, someone would come to steal them after he left.

The glorious Lu family is a thing of the past. Many people in Wanglou Brigade only despise their fathers, not respect them.

The remaining holidays are getting shorter and shorter. Lu Jiang took Feng Qingxue to the city to go shopping and first walked into the photo studio.

The photo studio at that time was very simple, and Feng Qingxue couldn't help looking around.

The camera was so primitive that Feng Qingxue had never seen it before. It was very bulky and had a tripod. When the photographer saw them coming in, he thought they were young men and women who came to take wedding photos. If they were not taking wedding photos, it would be rare for men and women to come in as a pair, especially when they were dressed so neatly and beautifully. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. They were really a perfect match.

The two sat upright, not daring to be too intimate. The camera flashed suddenly, and they took a group photo and a separate photo each.

The fee was only a few cents, but they could only come to pick it up a week later.

Lu Jiang paid the money and walked out of the door of the photo studio with Feng Qingxue. He was a little romantic in his bones and wanted to take Feng Qingxue to see a movie, but when they arrived at the cinema, they found out that there was no movie playing today.

"We won't watch a movie. I'll take you to see Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu."

After hearing Feng Qingxue's words, Lu Jiang was surprised and asked, "Who are Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu?"

"They are two elderly people I helped. They used to be from a scholarly family."

Lu Jiang realized that Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu in his words were probably similar to his own family. Now their family has fallen on hard times. He was just planning to take Feng Qingxue to visit some of his close friends in the local area. Now he might as well visit Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu first, and then go to other people's homes. Before visiting, buy some trough cakes and other things as gifts. Don't go empty-handed.

Friendships are built by frequent visits. If you don't interact with them on a regular basis, how can there be any friendships?

In the future, when I'm not at home, Feng Qingxue can go to those friends for help when he encounters difficulties. They will definitely not stand idly by.

Friends who are still visiting now are all iron buddies who stick together at all times.

Feng Qingxue smiled and nodded, "It's time to visit. Let me get to know them. You're not at home, and this relationship must be maintained well."
