Chapter 369: Willing but Powerless 1

After listening to his wife's narration, Lu Jiang had a preliminary understanding of the Zhao family's affairs.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at Zhao's house, they found that no one was home and the door was locked.

"Why is there no one here?" Lu Jiang was very confused. The snow had not melted yet, and every household stayed at home unless necessary.

Feng Qingxue had been to the Zhao family before. Although she did not come as often as she went to Grandpa Xu and Aunt Xu's house, she knew the Zhao family's neighbors and knocked on the door hurriedly to ask where the Zhao family members had gone.

She was worried that Aunt Zhao and Zhao Guohong, mother and son, would be criticized again.

"Oh, you're looking for them? They're visiting their relatives." Neighbor Auntie Wang told Feng Qingxue straightforwardly, "Aren't you the girl that Tianqi brought back to treat his grandmother's illness that year? Tianqi's grandmother later told me that if it weren't for you, she would have died of that serious illness. Before she left, she came to ask me to tell you that if you come to see them one day, I will tell you that the three of them have gone to visit relatives at the Northwest Farm to visit Tianqi's grandfather."

Although Tianqi is the grandson, his surname is now Zhao, so he just calls Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao his grandparents.

Aunt Zhao's family returned to their hometown from the capital, not because of their bad background. The old man was an old revolutionary, and even if he was demoted, he was still a respectable person, so the relationship between their family and the neighbors was pretty good.

Feng Qingxue was very happy when she heard this. "Is there any news about Uncle Zhao? Has Aunt Zhao's family been allowed to visit them?"

Aunt Wang smiled and nodded, "Yes, we ordinary people don't understand what's going on in the upper echelons, but it's a great thing for their family to see each other after being separated for several years. Who is this person next to you?"

Feng Qingxue introduced her hurriedly, "This is my husband Lu Jiang. He and Aunt Zhao's son Comrade Anbang are comrades-in-arms. They just came down from the battlefield together. This year he got the opportunity to visit his family. Comrade Anbang asked him to come and visit Aunt Zhao. Who would have thought that we came at such an unfortunate time. There is no one at Aunt Zhao's house."

"Oh, is there any news about his Anbang? Great! I'll tell them when they come back after the New Year!" Aunt Wang was very happy for Aunt Zhao. "Over the years, Tianqi's grandmother has been talking about this son whose life or death is unknown. If they knew that Anbang is still alive, they would be ecstatic."

He was alive, but seriously injured.

He has permanently lost his fertility and his right arm. It is unlikely that he will be able to stay in the army, and he doesn't know what kind of job he will be assigned after he is demobilized.

Chen Ming lost an arm, but he had a good background and represented the broad masses of working people.

Although Uncle Zhao is a revolutionary soldier, and so is Zhao Anbang, Uncle Zhao's current label is not very good. He may be sent to a farm for labor reform, and he will probably be labeled a pro-democracy element.

On the way out of Zhao's house, Lu Jiang heard his wife sighing, and after learning the reason, he fell silent.

"This world..." I couldn't say it out loud.

Even if the world is unfair, it cannot stop people from being patriotic.

Without seeing anyone from the Zhao family, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue strolled around the city for a while. Then they went to the city and carefully observed the many procedures of the bank and post office, which were indeed very strict.

The supplies taken out from the space were still in the bamboo basket, so Feng Qingxue simply sent some of them to Huo Beiting.

This way, it would be convenient for Lu Jiang to observe the mailing process and let him know that donating gold is not such an easy thing. She had to make him give up in the face of difficulties, not because he was reluctant to give up the gold hidden by the Lu family, but because he was afraid of endless troubles.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
