Here, Feng Qingxue took her sister away from Wang's house, while Lu Jiang had already arrived home.
Seeing that Lu's father was feeding the animals, Lu Jiang quickly took off his military coat and went forward to help, pouring baskets of fodder into various stone troughs.
Due to natural disasters, the so-called fodder refers to wheat straw, corn stalks, bean stalks, sorghum stalks, rice straw, sweet potato vines and peanut vines, which are prohibited for each household to use for boiling water and cooking. Occasionally, there is also grass that is cut and dried, and chopped into small pieces with a scythe.
During the slack season, Father Lu does these tasks. It is tiring, but not tiring. He cannot cut the grass alone, so he needs his grandson’s help.
After finishing their work, the father and son sat on the straw pile to rest.
"Where are Tianjun and Tianzhi? Why aren't they at home?" Lu Jiang asked his two nephews.
"I asked Tianjun to take Tianzhi to practice calligraphy on the sand by the river behind. I'll call them when it's time for dinner."
Father Lu never intended to let his two grandsons interrupt their studies. He began to cultivate their reading and calligraphy skills when they were young, and did not abandon traditional academic studies just because the world considered them to be dross.
Lu Jiang said: "I brought back ten steamed buns. I will light a fire and roast them later."
The steamed buns were brought from a state-owned restaurant. There were ten buns left at lunch, so he bought ten more, gave six to Feng Qingxue, and took ten for himself.
The steamed buns are hard, but when they are baked, they are fragrant and crispy!
"Have you bought all the clothes, shoes and socks for Xue girl? If not, buy them next time." Father Lu was very concerned about his son's lifelong event. "If you don't have enough money, I still have some here. It's the money you sent me over the years. I haven't spent it all. The main reason is that now I have money but have nowhere to spend it."
Lu Jiang picked up his military coat and put it on his father. "It's not a matter of buying everything, I just bought some cloth, wool, a pair of leather shoes and a watch. I wanted to buy clothes for Qingxue, but she didn't want any. I thought the colors and styles of the clothes in our city were not good, and the quality was not very good either, so I gave in to her. Next time I'll ask someone to buy two nice clothes from Shanghai and send them to me."
Father Lu nodded slightly, accidentally touched a hard object in the pocket inside his coat, and took it out.
"What is this?" Father Lu asked, looking at the well-packed box he took out.
"Huh? When did a box appear in your coat pocket? It's not mine."
Lu Jiang had always kept his money in the pocket of his military uniform, so he had no idea what was in the box. He took it in his hand and tore open the package, only to find that it was a watch box from a department store. There was a watch inside, a Rolex 17-diamond, all-steel, waterproof, shockproof, large three-hand, gold embossed men's watch. It was thick, practical, and not flashy.
Father Lu stretched his head to take a few looks and asked, "Where did it come from?" This watch doesn't look cheap.
"It should have been bought by Qingxue. She might have been afraid that I would not agree, so she bought it secretly and put it in my pocket." Lu Jiang quickly remembered that after leaving the department store, Feng Qingxue had separated from him for more than ten minutes on the pretext of convenience, and had also held his military coat for him when he was sweating while walking on the road.
Apart from her, no one else would buy such an expensive watch for herself.
Lu Jiang took off the Omega watch he had worn for many years and replaced it with this one, which looked better no matter how he looked at it.
Father Lu was very surprised when he heard this, then he slapped his knee and laughed, "This girl is more capable than we thought. I'm afraid her uncle doesn't know. She didn't intend to hide this from you."
If Feng Qingxue was an ordinary farm girl, she would not be able to afford a few hundred dollars, and would not have the courage to buy a watch.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Except for extremely wealthy people, who would be willing to buy imported watches?
