Fortunately, he had brought a lot of things with him this time. Fu Hongxing quickly took out a military water bottle from his backpack, poured some water onto a handkerchief, and let Ning Jing apply it to her eyes first.
Then he helped her sit down to calm down before talking to her.
Ning Jing covered her eyes with a handkerchief, and only after her eyes felt much better did she start strolling around Siping City with Fu Hongxing, since it was a rare opportunity to visit.
She's always either in the town or the county seat; she's never been to the city before!
Although this place is called a city, there aren't that many people coming and going on the streets.
Even if they do, they're always in a hurry.
Ning Jing could clearly sense that there were many more shops in the city than in the county town.
However, most of these shops are now locked up tight.
More often than not, the walls were covered with slogans and mottoes painted in red.
This state of Siping City greatly disappointed Ning Jing.
She also went shopping with Fu Hongxing in a mall in Siping City. There were quite a few industrial products there, but you needed an industrial ticket.
Other food items were also much more upscale, but they weren't cheap either.
At that time, the window for supplying grain and vegetables will have a sign that says "Sold Out".
The crowd that had been queuing to buy grains and vegetables sighed when they saw the two words displayed on the window.
Ning Jing even heard someone whispering with a worried expression, "If we can't buy food today, the whole family will go hungry."
Upon hearing this, Ning Jing paused and looked at the person.
Fu Hongxing pulled Ning Jing along and quickly walked out of the mall.
Ning Jing looked puzzled and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Fu Hongxing shook his head, looked carefully behind him, and said after walking a distance: "The people queuing up to buy grain over there are mostly locals, and they are all familiar faces."
We were complete strangers. After that person said that, I noticed people wearing red armbands looking at us from all around, probably waiting for us to approach him.
Hiss... entrapment?
The first thing that came to mind when she looked at Ning Jing was these four words.
Her expression immediately turned quite unpleasant; she had indeed considered striking up a conversation earlier.
If they get caught, you can easily imagine what will happen to them.
Ning Jing dared not stay in Siping City any longer. She went straight to the bookstore, bought notebooks, pencils, and erasers that Tie Dan and the other children needed, and then quickly took a bus back home.
She felt that when she went back this time, she should take out the Little Red Book that Fu Hongxing brought back when he was discharged from the army and let the whole family memorize it properly.
Better safe than sorry, lest you regret not having enough books when you need them.
The people of Xishan Village were filled with envy when they learned that Fu Hongxing's family had sent Fu Xiuhua to join the army.
After all, these days, it's highly desirable for a family to have someone in the military.
They are military dependents, and they are respected and supported wherever they go.
Tan Dingguo was also having his own thoughts. After taking several puffs of his pipe, he fell into deep thought.
He hadn't forgotten what Fu Hongxing had said to him before because of Xiao Feng and the other two sisters!
However, although Fu Hongxing had retired from the military, he still had a considerable network of connections.
Especially in the county town, he's not stupid, so of course he wouldn't directly turn against Fu Hongxing.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Fu Hongxing actually sent his sister to join the army.
Being a female soldier isn't something you can just decide to do.
If he had known Fu Hongxing had such abilities earlier, he should have paid more attention to the affairs of Xiaofeng and her two sisters.
