Chapter 1502: A Farewell Embrace 3
It’s quite strange—Lu Erxiong is fearless, except when it comes to his brother Xibao.
After hearing Xibao’s words, Lu Erxiong didn’t think about fried rice anymore. Even if he was angry, it was intentional, hoping his mom would give him more treats. He turned to Feng Qingxue and said, "Mom, if you give me lots of fruit, I won’t be mad."
Feng Qingxue smiled gently and said, "Alright, Mom will give you some fruit."
She opened a box of Beijing-style desserts and placed it on the heated kang table for everyone to eat. But since everyone had just eaten, no one had the appetite for these treats. The adults didn’t touch them, and Xibao, Fubao, Dundun, and Zhuangzhuang didn’t even glance at them.
Their family often had good food growing up, never lacking, so they didn’t have much of a craving for these sorts of things.
Lu Erxiong claimed them all to himself and was overjoyed, hugging the box and hiding it everywhere, eventually tucking it under the kang table. "I’ll eat them when I’m hungry. I’ll eat them alone, and I’ll share with Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, Brother, Sister, and my younger brother!"
At first, he said he’d eat them alone, but it ended with sharing with everyone. Who knows what goes on in a child’s mind?
As for the remaining pastries, Feng Qingxue sorted them out and took some more candies and treats from the cabinet—technically sourced from the space, though they were labeled as coming from the black market. "These few pounds of sweets, along with the crimson wool cloth, will be sent to Comrade Hu Ping. As for Huo Beiting, we’ll send some fine grains, and for the family, we’ll send a portion to the three uncles, one aunt, and a cousin. Each household gets a box of Beijing-style desserts and a pound of dried fruit..."
Cooking oil couldn’t be mailed, so they sent five pounds to Wang Xinsheng’s family, Guo Ming’s family, and Chen Xueniang’s family. Additionally, each household received five foreign exchange coupons to purchase what they needed themselves.
Lu Tianjun and his wife, along with Guan Cheng and others, were in the Capital, so Feng Qingxue handed them a few coupons too—and Jiang Xiaoyue would pass some along to her sister-in-law.
