In the afternoon, Lu Jiang sent Feng Qingxue home, and when he came back he went to find Wang Zhengguo to approve the residential land that they had taken a fancy to.

When Miao Fengqin saw Lu Jiang, she actually smiled faintly, unlike the distant attitude she showed towards Lu's father.

Wang Zhengguo certainly hoped that his niece would live a better life, but the homestead belonged to the production team, and he was the one who made the decision. He had to have a reason to deal with other people, so he didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "It's okay for you to build a house on this homestead. In the spring, I will find someone to make adobe bricks for you to build the house, but you have to give me fifty yuan to pay to the team."

No one can find fault with spending money to buy a residential plot.

When other people came to him to approve residential land, it was the same thing: either they exchanged it for food or they bought it with money.

Lu Jiang readily took out five big unity notes and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Wang."

"It's no trouble. I'll be very happy if you and Xue live a good life in the future."

Wang Zhengguo waved his hand and took Lu Jiang to the brigade office. Fifty yuan was deposited into the account, and the residential land was also transferred to Lu Jiang's name.

Soon, the news that Lu Jiang bought a residential plot to build a new house spread out, but no one said a word about it.

Lu Jiang only had 20 days of home visit leave. After buying the residential land, he was busy visiting relatives and friends and treating them to dinner. Within two days, he brought back enough tiles to build three rooms and piled them in Wang Zhengguo's yard.

He was worried that if he left the tiles in the cowshed, someone would come and steal them after he left.

The once-prominent Lu family has become a thing of the past, and many people in the Wanglou Brigade only have contempt and no respect for their own fathers.

There was less and less vacation time left, so Lu Jiang took Feng Qingxue to the city for shopping and they first went into a photo studio.

The photo studio was very simple at that time, and Feng Qingxue couldn't help but look around.

The camera was so primitive that Feng Qingxue had never seen one before. It was very heavy and had a tripod. When the photographer saw them come in, he thought they were a young man and woman who came to take wedding photos. If they were not taking wedding photos, it would be rare for a man and a woman to come in as pairs, especially when they were dressed so neatly and beautifully. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. They were truly a perfect match.

The two of them sat upright, not daring to get too close. The camera flashed suddenly, and they took a group photo and then a separate photo of each of them.

The cost is only a few cents, but you have to wait a week to pick it up.

Lu Jiang paid the money and walked out of the photo studio with Feng Qingxue. He was a bit romantic at heart and wanted to take Feng Qingxue to see a movie, but when they arrived at the cinema, he found out that there were no movies showing that day.

"We're not going to watch a movie. I'll take you to see Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu."

After hearing what Feng Qingxue said, Lu Jiang asked in surprise: "Who are Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu?"

"They are two elderly people whom I have helped. They were also from a family of scholars."

Lu Jiang realized that the Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu mentioned in the conversation were probably similar to his own family, who had fallen on hard times. He was just planning to take Feng Qingxue to visit some of his close friends in the local area, so he might as well visit Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu first, and then go to other people's homes. He could buy some caozigao or something like that as gifts before arriving, so as not to go empty-handed.

Friendships are built through frequent interactions. How can there be any friendship if there is no regular interaction?

When I'm not at home in the future and Feng Qingxue encounters difficulties, she can ask those friends for help, and they will definitely not stand idly by.

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

The friends who are still around now are all my close friends who are willing to help me through thick and thin.

Feng Qingxue smiled and nodded, "It's time to visit, let me get to know you. Even if you're not at home, we have to maintain this relationship."
