Chapter 141 - 0141: Running Away From Home 1_1
The next day, Feng Qingxue steamed two pots of black dough and wild spinach WoWo Tou, and packed some dumplings filled with wild Shepherd’s Purse.
Mixed with some minced lard residue, the dumpling filling was particularly aromatic.
She kept a portion for her own family, while the rest was delivered to the Lu family, along with some other food that she had taken out from the storage space in advance. This time, she had brought Feng Qingyun along, so it wasn’t convenient to take anything out halfway.
The weather had warmed up, and before the spring tillage began, each household was busy digging for wild vegetables to fill their bellies, including her uncle’s family.
To their surprise, when the sisters arrived at the cowshed, they found that Chen Ming and Xu Aiguo were helping Lu’s father weed, working up quite a sweat.
Behind the two men were large stacks of wild grass and leftover corn stalks and sweet potato vines from the winter.
As Chen Ming was pressing down on the handle of the chopper with one hand, he spotted Feng Qingxue, and immediately stopped his work, shouting, "Sister-in-law is here! Uncle Lu, Uncle Lu, come out quickly. Sister-in-law is here!"
Although Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue were not married, he still affectionately called her sister-in-law.
He had once told his wife Xiaohong that, apart from Feng Qingxue, no one could match up to Lu Jiang, and if Lu Jiang ever dared to wrong her, he would never be able to hold his head high again. How good a girl Feng Qingxue was! She took care of the elderly and children at home, fulfilled the duties of friends and relatives, and even cared for him on the battlefield.
Xu Aiguo too, knew this, and was frequently envious of Lu Jiang.
Lu’s father, holding a white porcelain jar embossed with the red characters "Serving the People", hurriedly came out. Upon seeing Feng Qingxue and her sister, he was overjoyed, "Little Snow is here. Come have some water and rest your feet."
