Chapter 97 Helping in Times of Need 1
Actually, Feng Qingxue didn't see Wang Jiao.
She saw that the weather was not very good. It was cloudy for two days in a row. The northeast wind was blowing and the temperature dropped sharply. She was worried that it would rain and snow in two days, so she left her sister at her second uncle's house and went to the city and county. She first sent things to Lu Jiang, then sent food to Uncle Xu and his family, sent some oil and fine grains to Chen Ming's family, and visited Aunt Zhao. Finally, she brought back some winter supplies.
Since she got engaged to Lu Jiang, Feng Qingxue gave her second aunt something from time to time, sometimes two eggs, sometimes a bag of brown sugar, and sometimes a handful of noodles.
There were not many things, but they were definitely scarce supplies.
When Aunt Feng asked about the origin, Feng Qingxue said that it was the money and tickets given by Lu Jiang.
Aunt Feng and Uncle Feng were good people. They took good care of Feng Qingyun when they didn't get anything. Now that they got these precious things like treasures, they are more attentive.
Feng Qingxue put away the things she brought home and went to pick up Feng Qingyun. She learned from her second aunt that Wang Jiao had come to see her.
Wang Jiao rarely came to Caohu. Second aunt Feng didn't recognize her. She couldn't find Feng Qingxue and asked around. She happened to ask at Second aunt Feng's house, so Second aunt Feng knew about it, but she didn't know why Wang Jiao came.
"That girl came empty-handed, but she was wearing new clothes and new shoes. She was dressed very beautifully, but she was aggressive. When she asked if you were at home, she looked impatient. She didn't seem to be visiting relatives. I think she was a bit ill-intentioned. Xiaoxue, you have to be careful. No matter how close brothers and sisters are, there will be times when they turn against each other. You have arranged a good marriage, and many people are jealous."
Although the Lu family is not good, Lu Jiang himself is surprisingly good. He is good-looking and an officer.
Second aunt Feng looked Feng Qingxue up and down, and felt relieved.
Knowing how to make herself ugly means that Feng Qingxue knows what to do. She is not the kind of person who attracts bees and butterflies without caring about her beauty.
She knew Feng Qingxue's appearance, and when she saw Feng Qingxue now, she couldn't believe that it was the same person.
Her facial features hadn't changed, but her skin was yellow and black, and there were two red spots on her cheeks that looked like they were from the sun and wind. She didn't look as delicate as before, just like an ordinary person, but a little older and more haggard.
Feng Qingxue often heard her grandmother talk about the things that happened in the past. Many beautiful girls suffered bad luck, so she didn't dare to show her beauty too much. She only washed her head and face when she met Lu Jiang and went out. At that time, except for eating, taking pictures, and visiting friends, she wrapped her face with a scarf most of the time. Now that Lu Jiang is gone, she tries to make herself ugly every morning when she gets up, and she is completely different from her real self. She still wears a Lei Feng hat and a scarf when she goes out, and doesn't show it to others easily.
Makeup is always the best disguise. It can make people beautiful and young, but it can also make people ugly and old.
Feng Qingxue was worried that her beautiful appearance would cause trouble in the end of the world, so she prepared a lot of makeup tools in the space and specially found a friend who was a professional makeup artist to learn a few tricks.
Even so, she still had to put a layer of pot ash on her face when she went out, but she didn't have to mess up her hair for the time being when she wore a Lei Feng hat.
After listening to what Second Aunt Feng said, Feng Qingxue smiled and just said that she knew. After thanking Second Aunt, she took her sister home and gently pushed open the gate of her yard.
The yard was a fence built by Lu Jiang when he was there. It was more than one meter high and made of thorn strips. The door was made of cotton stalks.
Not only that, Lu Jiang also spent money to find nearby villagers to help repair the house inside and outside. The walls were plastered with yellow mud and the roof was replaced to prevent it from withstanding the wind and rain in the cold winter.
