Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue finally came out of their joyous state, only to see a clean plate. Licked so clean that it didn’t need to be washed.

"That’s quite water-saving." Feng Qingxue laughed.

Little Fatty glared at them with resentment in his eyes. He kept repeating, "Guoguo, eat guoguo! I want to eat guoguo!"

"Oh! Xibao, you can now speak in a sentence with five words in a row!" Feng Qingxue went over and poured the remaining canned water and orange slices into his bowl, "Eat, eat. If you get full now, we’re not having dinner tonight."

Only then did Little Fatty finally sit down obediently, his bib covered in splashes of water and stains from the orange juice.

Lu Jiang glanced at Little Fatty and turned to his wife, "You need to take care of yourself, don’t just fuss over this naughty boy. You have no idea how mischievous he was today. He had to drag the commander for horse riding and sheep herding, and ran several rounds outside before he reluctantly stopped."

"Have I become that fragile? I was still working when I was pregnant with Xibao!" Feng Qingxue chuckled but allowed her husband to lead her to sit on the heated brick bed," We’ve got quite a lot of grain and dried vegetables delivered home, should send some to the cooking team. If the distribution is insufficient, we still need food. About hosting, whoever we invite or not invite, it’s hard to arrange, afraid that those who aren’t invited would feel unsettled, what do you think we should do?"

"Send what? No!" The only things on Lu Jiang’s mind were his wife and child, "We keep them for ourselves. Until your household registration and Xibao’s are transferred here to finalize your work and ration relationship, we have to live on the grain and dried vegetables sent from home. Everyone understands and won’t blame you if you don’t send out anything. For treating guests, we can invite Commander Ye and his old comrades to our home, as for the other soldiers, we can’t afford to invite everyone. On regular days, pay attention to their living conditions. If they are injured or cold, send them some medicine, if their clothes or shoes are torn, send them a repair or a pair of shoes, that would be better than anything else."

Speaking of clothes and shoes, Feng Qingxue remembered, "I forgot to ask you, were the shoes that we sent Xiaowang fitting? It’s been months, but I just remembered to ask you."
