Chapter 747 - 0747: Storm is Coming 3_1
The train ticket home was set for eight o’clock in the evening. Lu’s father didn’t have many belongings. All he had were his change of clothes he brought himself, the rations prepared by Wang Fengqiao and Feng Qingxue, the gifts given by the old leader, and the clothes and nutritional supplies Feng Qingxue had prepared for the children at home. He had no other luggage.
As for the items he had bought in the junk market or black market, Father Lu felt it was unsafe to bring them home in case of inspections. The military was different, as Guo Yan had said. It was relatively stable there and Lu Jiang had a high position, average people wouldn’t come to check up. All of these items were given to Feng Qingxue to take back to the military, with the reason being that there was a shortage of plates and cutlery in the military family district.
Therefore, after seeing his daughter-in-law and others off, Father Lu had enough time to send a telegram to his son, telling him that his daughter-in-law had got on the train that day and he should pick her up at the station to avoid leaving everyone stranded after disembarking. He also had enough time to instruct Lan Tianming to deal with the remaining issues, not to leave a bad impression on the house owners.
Lan Tianming laughed and said, "Comrade Lu, you can rest assured, I will convey your message to the house owner."
Although these pieces of furniture were heavy and had gone through many vicissities, they enlivened the originally empty room a bit.
When Jiang Xiaoyue arrived, panting, Father Lu was already walking towards the door.
"Uncle Lu, where are Sister Xue and Xibao?" Jiang Xiaoyue elongated her neck but didn’t see Feng Qingxue and Xibao coming out. As Lan Tianming locked the door, Jiang Xiaoyue’s eyes were almost popping out.
Father Lu laughed and said, "Comrade Xiaoyue, they have already left, on the morning train."
