Chapter 1374: Emergency Surgery 5
Ever since Luo Zhonghua and Cheng Kun had visited, no one mentioned the need for Feng Qingxue to immediately rejoin her unit, and life at the Lu Family’s home returned to calm. Qingxue stayed in the residential compound, taking care of the children and building good relationships with the neighbors.
They had brought back quite a lot of fabric and their local specialty pastries and cakes. After sharing some, everyone remembered their kindness.
In a time of scarce resources and difficult lives, everyone tightened their belts, but no one disliked generous people.
Food was always scarce, but the military community was never short on clothing. The adults’ uniforms, altered a bit, were handed down to the children, and few families really cared about having new clothes for the New Year.
Therefore, the fabric Qingxue had brought back hadn’t found a use until Ping Zhengkai came to ask for her help.
"Sister-in-law, you bought quite a bit of fabric the other day, could you spare a few yards for me?" Ping Zhengkai placed a large Zhonghua on the table, looking rather embarrassed, "I just received a letter from home saying my brother wants to get married, but he has no Cloth Ticket to buy fabric, nor does he have any way to purchase second-hand fabric. The bride’s side doesn’t demand anything else, she just wants to wear a new outfit when getting married."
After listening, Qingxue said, "I thought it was something serious. Just wait a moment!"
She went into the bedroom and came back shortly with a stack of fabric along with a bag of candy, a red gauze kerchief, and a pair of red pillowcases, handing them to Ping Zhengkai, "Take these, send them home, consider it our wedding gift for your brother. And take the money back too."
Ping Zhengkai’s family was not well-off, which Qingxue had always known.
