Chapter 355 Lu Fengqin's Little Sister

Lu Fengqin was late to school because she had been at home for a long time. After handing the firewood she brought to the school logistics department, she hurried to the dormitory with the food.

The dormitory of the commune middle school had a fire wall, and it was warm inside.

Lu Fengqin was a little hot after walking all the way. After entering the dormitory, she took off her cotton jacket, revealing the new coat she made for the New Year.

"Wow! Fengqin, your coat is so beautiful." The few people in the dormitory who usually hugged Lu Fengqin rushed over to surround her.

Lu Fengqin showed a proud look on her face, "This is what my third aunt sent back from Haishi. We can't buy it in Qingxi County."

"No wonder, I said, I've never seen such a beautiful pattern."

"This cloth is obviously high-end, I guess only those big officials can afford it."

...

Several people surrounded Lu Fengqin and praised her, which greatly satisfied her vanity.

"Hey, Fengqin, aren't your third uncle and third aunt in Yangcheng? Why are you in Haishi again?" someone asked.

"My third aunt is from Haishi. They went to Haishi to celebrate the New Year this year."

"Ah? Your third aunt is from Haishi? Then how come..."

"She came here as an educated youth and fell into the river and was rescued by my third uncle. This life-saving grace must be repaid with one's life." Lu Fengqin said.

After saying that, she added somewhat proudly, "My third aunt's family is very rich, and they live in a Western-style house. Do you know what a Western-style house is? It's better than the houses where foreigners live in the movies. When I go there later, I'll take pictures and send them to you to see."

"Fengqin, I really envy you. I wish I had such a good uncle and aunt."

"That's why I said Fengqin is good-looking. My mother said that people with such looks will enjoy a happy life in the future."

"Oh, Fengqin, our rice has been taken away to steam. You came late, and it may be too late to take it now."

Lu Fengqin waved her hand, "It's okay, I'll get the rice later."

Lu Fengqin said it as if she didn't care much, but she actually felt a little guilty in her heart. After all, when she left, Lu Boming did not give her any money, and she only had 40 cents left in her pocket.

The school would cook two or three dishes for every meal, to serve to teachers or some students from better-off families. A meal cost 10 cents, and Lu Fengqin had pocket money given by Lu Boming, so she was a frequent visitor there.

Logically, Lu Boming would give her pocket money every week, and Lu Fengqin should be able to save some money. But she was used to being flattered and generous, and from time to time she would treat her good friends to a bowl of hot soup for 2 cents, so she basically had no money left every week.

At dinner time in the evening, Lu Fengqin got a portion of rice and took it to eat with her friends.

Most students eat rice with pickled cabbage, spicy cabbage or pickled radish, or add some soybean paste and mix it with the rice and eat it like this.

"Fengqin, I heard that there is mutton in the soup today. It's so cold, why don't you have a bowl of it ?"

"It's so cold, it would be nice to have a bowl of hot soup."

"Yes, Fengqin, you must have received a lot of New Year's money during the Chinese New Year, right? Treat us to soup?"

If it were in the past, Lu Fengqin would definitely treat them. But now she doesn't have much money, and she is reluctant to spend it.

"I overslept today, got up in a hurry to go to school, and forgot to bring money. I'll do it next time." Lu Fengqin said.

Her New Year's money was taken away by her mother, so where would she get the money.

Several people were disappointed, and some of them said sweetly, "It's okay. I brought a lot of pickled radishes this week. Fengqin, if you don't have enough vegetables, just tell me."

"And me, my family brought me two pieces of fried fish, I'll give you one."

"My mother's pickled bean paste is especially delicious, I'll give you half when the time comes."

...

Three or four people talked a lot, and Lu Fengqin was very moved. The sisters were still good to her. Unlike her aunt, she said she was good to her, but she was unwilling to give her even a skirt.

In fact, Lu Fengqin didn't need others to give her vegetables.

Her family had prepared an enamel pot of pickled cabbage stewed with big bones for her. Although the big bones were not put in, the pickled cabbage stewed with meat was also very delicious. Liu Yuzhi would bring her food every one or two days. Although most of the time it was stir-fried vegetables, sometimes there would be scrambled eggs and meat. She

had always been the one being taken advantage of.

She just liked to hear good things and enjoyed the feeling of being praised.

*****

Lu Xingjun thought for several days, and then called his second daughter and youngest son to come over.

Lu Xingjun placed a few pieces of cloth on the kang and asked them, "Your mother said she wanted to make a dress for you. Which piece of cloth do you want?"

He borrowed the good ones from Li Yue'e, and asked Liu Yuzhi to pull out some inferior ones.

"Didn't we make new clothes for the Chinese New Year? Why are you making clothes again?" Lu Guoqiang asked. He was 10 years old after the Chinese New Year and had grown up.

The family usually made two new clothes a year, one for the Chinese New Year and one for summer.

"Your mother said that you were obedient, so she made one more for you this year."

"Really?" Lu Guoqiang was very happy and pointed to the military green khaki cloth, "I want this one."

"Why?"

"I like this color, and I want to be a member of the People's Liberation Army in the future."

"Er Ya, your brother has chosen, which one do you want?"

Lu Aiqin looked at it and finally chose the twill cloth with a flower pattern.

"These pieces of cloth are beautiful, why don't you choose these pieces." Lu Xingjun pointed to the pieces of cloth borrowed from Li Yue'e. These cloths were sent back to Li Yue'e by Su Mo. The materials and styles are not comparable to those bought here.

"I have seen these cloths. They were sent back to grandma by my third aunt. The teacher said that we, as the younger generation, should respect the elderly and not ask for things from them." "

Besides, these materials are very expensive. I am a student and don't need to wear such good clothes. The teacher said that students should compete in learning, not in food and clothing." Lu Aiqin said.

Lu Aiqin will be 13 years old after the Chinese New Year. She is in the fifth grade and will go to junior high school in the second half of next year.

Lu Xingjun was a little shocked. He didn't expect that his second daughter, who was always taciturn, could say such a thing.

Since ancient times, fathers love their eldest sons, mothers love their youngest sons, and the middle children are usually neglected.

This is also the case with Lu Aiqin. Usually, she is not paid much attention by her parents at home.
