Chapter 372 - 0372: A Box of Letters 2_1
Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue voiced their agreement, subconsciously reminding themselves to always be careful and maintain a low profile.
The era of famine had passed, and aside from using their comrades’ Grain Tickets to exchange food for them, or sending them some grain after receiving their dry meat, they had their hands off anything else.
Exchanging Grain Tickets and food wouldn’t bring trouble; the family could simply keep it hidden when eating.
Through this matter, Father Lu realized his son’s shortcomings in certain aspects and began to guide him earnestly. Meanwhile, he recalled some items he had stored away and revealed them to Feng Qingxue in the middle of the night.
It wasn’t gold, jewelry, or antiques and calligraphy, but a box full of IOUs.
Upon closer examination, Feng Qingxue noticed that they were all IOUs written by the Liberation Army when gathering military supplies. Some IOUs stated to loan a hundred sacks of grain, some stated to loan hundreds of bolts and thousands of jins of cotton fabric, and some stated to loan a hundred small yellow fish. Without exception, they were all borrowed from Father Lu. Features of high-ranking military officials and leaders’ signatures, with a portion of them stamped, could be seen.
The paper had yellowed, but it was well preserved, complete, and clearly legible at a glance.
"Dad, were these things lent by us? Didn’t we say before that we donated these?"
"In reality, we actually did donate to them. The rise and fall of a country concerns every individual, right? What’s good about the comrades of the Liberation Army? It’s their ability to fight for their country without taking anything from the people. Therefore, I donated everything they needed. Whoever was in power would write an IOU. Over the years, I’ve accumulated a whole box of them. Don’t underestimate these. You have to keep them well. Back then, they said that once the whole nation was liberated, I could go to them with these IOUs, and they would repay me according to them."
