Chapter 848: First Meeting with Jiang Wei 2

When Xibao was very young, he would eat some fruit that was not available outside without asking questions. Now he doesn’t do that anymore.

This kid is very smart and likes to get to the bottom of things.

When he eats an egg, he asks where the egg comes from.

Others see that he and Fubao are both rosy-cheeked, and they know that they are well-nourished. Sometimes they ask him what he eats. Although Xibao is smart, he is young and can’t lie. Telling the truth about his family’s food will inevitably make people suspicious.

“Eat meat?” Feng Qingxue was a little embarrassed. “Okay, let’s go to the service center to see if there is any meat.”

A service center was established at the gate of the family compound to serve the military dependents. It was proposed by Feng Qingxue. Occasionally, some fresh meat is provided, and the rest of the industrial products and non-staple foods are distributed from the army. It is mainly for some unemployed military dependents and family members. They can’t just go to the canteen to eat. It’s impossible to let them not taste any meat, right?

With this service center, the lives of military dependents are much more convenient.

At least, they don’t have to go to the service center in the camp to buy some needles, thread, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Feng Qingxue and Lu Jiang were very generous to the children. Xibao often visited the service center. As soon as she stepped into the door, she said, "Uncle Ding, let's buy some meat. Big pieces of meat. Do you have any?" She looked very generous.

Xiao Ding took two needles and a ball of cotton thread to Huang Xiuzhi and said with a smile, "Yes, but not much."

Feng Qingxue greeted Huang Xiuzhi and walked over to look at the pork on the counter. There was only a small piece of tenderloin and half a pig's head left. "It's enough for two children. Xiao Ding, weigh it for me."

Xibao stood on tiptoe to look at it and shook her head, "Mom, it's not enough. I want to eat a lot!"

"I want to eat too!" Fubao said loudly.

As for the virtue of modesty? There is no trace of it in them now.

Huang Xiuzhi teased, "Fubao, your braids are so beautiful. Who braided them for you?" People who are familiar with the Lu family know that Fubao loves beauty very much. It is definitely right to praise her for her good looks.

Fubao was so happy that his face was full of smiles, "Mom!"

Xibao said, "Auntie, I look good too, you have to praise me."

Huang Xiuzhi smiled and praised several times, and Xibao nodded with satisfaction.

Feng Qingxue bought a small piece of tenderloin and half a pig's head with 40 cents and a few taels of meat coupons.

It's great that pig's head doesn't need a coupon.

"Qingxue, you are really willing to spend money." Although Wu Lei's salary is not low, Huang Xiuzhi never spends lavishly, because Wu Lei also has to support the poor folks at home.

Feng Qingxue smiled and said, "We only have these two precious eggs in our family, and we will naturally provide them with some meat coupons."

As she said, she put the meat into the bamboo basket in her arms.

"It's always like this. Our family's meat coupons have to be used to buy meat several times a month. We buy two taels of meat at a time, or buy some offal that doesn't need a coupon and cook it for Xiao Shitou." Huang Xiuzhi and Wu Lei never eat the meat dishes that are hard to come by every month.

The two of them left the service center with their children and walked in the family compound. They could faintly hear Jin Hong and Lu Zhaodi quarreling.

Huang Xiuzhi whispered, "I often hear them quarreling recently. I don't know why." After Lu Zhaodi gave birth to Jin Pandi, she rarely went out after the confinement period. She might be afraid that everyone would laugh at her for not giving birth to a son. She also ignored the two daughters fostered in Tian Ling's home. Everyone's impression of her became worse and worse.

Feng Qingxue said lightly, "Everyone has their own life. Marriage is like drinking water. Only the person who drinks it knows whether it is hot or cold."

"That's right."

The two broke up and went back to their own homes. Neither of them took the matter of Jin Hong and Lu Zhaodi to heart.
