After visiting local comrades and friends in the city and surrounding counties, and going to the photo studio to retrieve photos of the two, Lu Jiang's 20-day vacation came to an end.

Defending the country is a soldier's duty. No matter how much he misses it, Lu Jiang cannot stay at home.

While he was busy packing his luggage and saying goodbye to his relatives and friends, Feng Qingxue also packed up the things she had prepared for him.

During these days, she would sometimes go shopping with Lu Jiang to cultivate their relationship and visit nearby comrades and friends, but most of the time she would stay at home and work overtime to knit sweaters and trousers for Lu Jiang. The wool was the blue wool that Lu Jiang bought for her at that time.

Lu Jiang was tall and strong, and four kilograms of wool yarn was not enough.

Feng Qingxue secretly looked through the space and finally found a wool yarn with almost the same color and texture, and added a pound of it.

In addition to this set of sweaters and trousers, considering that soldiers often train in the wind and sun, she then made Lu Jiang a sheepskin vest, two pairs of sheepskin knee pads, and two pairs of sheepskin wrist guards, all with army green khaki surfaces. There was no time to make the cotton shoes, so she could only wait until they were finished and send them to him. Lu Jiang had already told her his contact address.

I remember Wang Zhengguo mentioned casually that it would take Lu Jiang ten days just to travel by train. Although soldiers had priority in travel and treatment, Feng Qingxue was still worried that he wouldn't have enough to eat on the road, so she started getting busy three days before Lu Jiang's departure.

She pretended to go out in front of her sister and brought back a lot of things. She made a large bowl of batter with the coarse flour she brought back, and then washed the small crucian carp, white fish and other small fish that she brought back and marinated them with salt and five-spice powder, then coated them with a layer of batter. Then she borrowed an iron griddle and an iron pot from the production team and secretly made pancakes and fried small fish.

Fold the pancakes and wrap them with clean white cotton cloth. Put the fried fish into two clean empty malted milk cans.

Feng Qingxue left a few pancakes and a bowl of fried fish for her sister, "The rest are for Brother Lu to take on the road. I'll try to get an iron pan back later so we can fry and eat right away, okay?"

"Sister, then give them all to Brother Lu. I can't finish all the delicious food in our house." Feng Qingyun said sensibly.

"It's okay, save it and eat it slowly."

Feng Qingxue used half a pot of soybean oil to fry the small salted fish. The fish was golden in color, fragrant and crispy. When rolled in a pancake and eaten, the fragrance lingered in the mouth. It was a real delicacy.

Feng Qingyun felt that it was much more delicious than malted milk cake.

The only pity is that it was not kept in a sealed jar, so it became soft overnight and was not as delicious as when it was fresh out of the pot.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of departure. Feng Qingxue got up before dawn and boiled twenty eggs and thirty salted duck eggs. She filled two cloth bags with peanuts and broad bean flowers, and added other things that were easy to carry, so the food and clothes were packed into a big bag. Wang Zhengguo drove to pick her up to send Lu Jiang off, and he couldn't help blinking his eyes again and again.

Although I don’t know what’s in the bag, I can tell it’s quite heavy just by looking at it.

Feng Qingyun followed along, and when she saw Lu Jiang and Lu's father, she smiled innocently and said softly, "Brother-in-law, sister made a lot of delicious food and clothes for you!"

How could Father Lu and Lu Jiang not see this? The former was happy for his son, while the latter looked at Feng Qingxue tenderly.

"Qingxue, thank you for your concern."

Feng Qingxue felt a little embarrassed. "It's not a big deal. The food is in the bag. Don't treat yourself badly on the way. Eat the food that can't be kept for a long time first. If it gets cold, put on two more layers of clothes."
