In fact, Feng Qingxue didn’t see Wang Jiao.
Seeing that the weather was not very good, it had been cloudy for two days in a row, with a northeast wind blowing and the temperature dropping sharply, she was worried that it would rain and snow in the next two days, so she left her sister at her second uncle's house and went to the city and county herself. She first sent some things to Lu Jiang, then delivered food to Uncle Xu and others, some oil and fine grains to Chen Ming's family, and visited Aunt Zhao. Finally, she brought back some supplies for the winter.
Ever since she got engaged to Lu Jiang, Feng Qingxue would give her second aunt something from time to time, sometimes two eggs, sometimes a bag of brown sugar, and sometimes a handful of noodles.
There aren’t many things, but they are definitely scarce supplies.
When Second Aunt Feng asked about the origins of the money, Feng Qingxue said that it was the money and tickets given by Lu Jiang.
Aunt Feng and Uncle Feng are nice people. They took good care of Feng Qingyun when they didn't have anything. Now that they have these precious things that are like treasures, they take even better care of them.
Feng Qingxue put away the things she was taking home and went to pick up Feng Qingyun. She learned from her second aunt that Wang Jiao had come to see her.
Wang Jiao seldom came to Caohu, and Aunt Feng didn't recognize her. But Feng Qingxue couldn't find her so she asked everywhere. She happened to ask at Aunt Feng's house, so Aunt Feng knew who Wang Jiao was, but she didn't know why she came.
"That girl came empty-handed, but she was wearing new clothes and new shoes, and she looked very pretty, but she was aggressive. When she asked whether you were at home, she looked impatient. She didn't seem like a relative. I think she came with bad intentions. Xiaoxue, you have to be careful. No matter how close brothers and sisters are, there will be times when they turn against each other. You have arranged a good marriage, and many people are jealous."
Although the Lu family's background is not good, Lu Jiang himself is surprisingly good. He is good-looking and is an officer.
Aunt Feng looked Feng Qingxue up and down and felt relieved.
Knowing how to act ugly shows that Feng Qingxue knows what's going on and is not the kind of person who would just do whatever it takes to attract men just because she is beautiful.
She knew Feng Qingxue's appearance, and when she saw Feng Qingxue now, she couldn't believe that it was the same person.
His facial features had not changed, but his skin had become yellow and dark, with two red spots on his cheeks as if caused by wind and sun. He looked less delicate than before, and looked like an ordinary person, a little older and more haggard.
Feng Qingxue often heard her grandmother talk about what happened back then. Many beautiful girls suffered bad luck, so she didn't dare to show her beauty too much. She only washed her head and face when she met Lu Jiang and went out. At that time, except for eating, taking pictures and visiting friends, she wrapped her face with a scarf most of the time. Now that Lu Jiang is gone, she tries to make herself ugly every morning when she wakes up, and she is completely different from her real self. She still wears a Lei Feng hat and a scarf when she goes out, and doesn't show it to others easily.
Makeup is always the best disguise method. It can make people more beautiful and younger, but it can also make people uglier and older.
Feng Qingxue was worried that her beautiful appearance would bring her troubles at the end of the world, so she prepared a lot of makeup tools in her space and even found a friend who was a professional makeup artist to learn a few tricks.
Even so, she still had to put a layer of soot on her face when she went out. Wearing a Lei Feng hat saved her from having to mess up her hair for the time being.
After listening to what Second Aunt Feng said, Feng Qingxue smiled and said she understood. After thanking Second Aunt Feng, she took her sister home and gently pushed open the door of her yard.
The yard was surrounded by a fence built by Lu Jiang when he was there. It was more than one meter high and made of thorny strips, and the gate was made of cotton stalks.
Not only that, Lu Jiang also spent money to ask nearby villagers to help renovate the house inside and out. He pasted the walls with yellow mud and replaced the roof to prevent it from withstanding the wind and rain in the cold winter.
