Chapter 66: Chapter 0066: Shopping Date 2_1 Chapter 66: Chapter 0066: Shopping Date 2_1 Not only Miao Fengqin came in, but also Wang Zhengguo’s siblings, Father Lu, and others.
Although everyone was willing to give the young men and women in the blind date a private space to chat, they wouldn’t give them too much time.
Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue stood up, each calling their elders, seeing Aunt Wang leading Feng Qingyun. Lu Jiang immediately took many milk candies from the plate, squatted down and stuffed them into her pocket.
“Thank you, brother.” Feng Qingyun stared with big eyes, noticing that Lu Jiang was a handsome and talented man. She was delighted for her sister’s sake.
Despite Feng Qingyun’s young age and poor development, her intelligence was indeed beyond the ordinary.
“Good child.” Lu Jiang gently touched her head and stood up.
A hint of a smile flickered in Feng Qingxue’s eyes.
Prepared in mind, Father Lu had observed everything. He laughed, took out two big bags of sugar cubes from his military-green canvas sling bag, and put them on the table, “Commander Wang, let’s finish here for today. Lu Jiang and I will go back. I’ll leave the candy here for everyone to taste.”
Having formally met, the initial stage was passed. As long as both young people were willing, everything would go well afterward.
After all, Lu Jiang was allowed 20 days of home leave every year, and many things were not urgent.
“Alright,” Wang Zhengguo did not decline.
In their place, the custom was that men and women in a blind date must have celebration candy. However, due to the shortage of supplies, it was rare for the man to give candies. Everyone was poor, and one might not even get to eat the celebration candies at their wedding.
Lu Jiang dropped his head towards Feng Qingxue, saying: “I’ll take you shopping in a couple of days. We can buy anything you like.”
He had loads of ration coupons of various types.
When his comrades learned he was going home for a blind date, they took out all their coupons and earnestly told him not to be stingy while shopping with the girl. Anything that is available in the store and liked by girls, he must buy it for her. He had to be generous and attentive.
As for money, he had no worries at all. Over the years, apart from sending money to his old father and the families of deceased comrades, he saved the rest.
Actually, without his comrades reminding him, he knew how to treat the girl properly.
“Okay.” Feng Qingxue nodded gently after hearing Lu Jiang’s words.
She didn’t fully understand the blind dating process of this era. But since her aunt and uncle didn’t object to Lu Jiang’s proposal to go shopping, it meant it was normal, and wouldn’t stir up gossip.
When Lu Jiang and Father Lu left, they were somewhat reluctant, constantly looking back at Feng Qingxue who accompanied the elders to see them off.
How could Feng Qingxue not feel Lu Jiang’s naked gaze? Her face turned red immediately.
Her skin was fair, the blush was very evident, making her look more beautiful and attractive.
In the end, Father Lu had to drag his son home in one breath, which was the cattle shed where they currently lived.
Father Lu lived in the cattle shed. Even when Lu Jiang came back on home leave, he didn’t stay anywhere else but chose to sleep on the straw mat in the cattle shed with his nephews.
The cattle were the primary labor force. The production brigade would rather mistreat people than the beasts, so the cowshed was built very solidly, with several rooms filled with fodder. It was better than many people’s houses and more spacious.
Wang Zhengguo had banished Father Lu to the cattle shed, but he was actually protecting him indirectly, providing him with a place to shelter from wind and rain.
The father and son sat opposite each other in the room with thick straw on the floor. Father Lu started, “When are you going to go shopping with Snow girl? Bring lots of money and coupons. Buy her anything rare from the city. Our family has hit the bottom and can’t offer a grand betrothal like before, but we shouldn’t neglect the girl.”
