Chapter 1772: Arrangements to Return Home 3
Leaving the armed forces department, Feng Qingxue looked up at the sky and exhaled a breath of stale air.
It’s close, it’s close, in about twenty months, all the hardships will end, and those struggling at the bottom will once again see the light of day. They have endured for so many years; what’s another year or two?
Checking the time, Feng Qingxue stopped by the state-run restaurant on her way.
First respect the clothes, then the person. Her attire and the aura she carried secured her considerate service, and she unreservedly took out four lunch boxes, buying today’s supply of braised lamb, red-braised pork, and a portion of lamb noodles, plus ten large white steamed buns and a portion of lamb soup. She only ate the lamb noodles herself, while the rest she sneaked into her space using the basket for cover.
While eating, Feng Qingxue noticed several shy and bashful young couples, taking bites while glancing at each other, which reminded her of the scene when she and Lu Jiang first dined at the state-run restaurant.
In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed; thinking back now, it feels like a different world.
Thinking of how Lu Jiang has been gone for over three months, only calling a few times without revealing anything, Feng Qingxue’s long lashes lowered slightly, leaving her in a somber mood. She could only hope for things in the capital to settle soon so her husband could return home early.
This afternoon, she needed to give Deng Wu an injection before heading back, so after her meal, Feng Qingxue wandered around the city.
Wucheng is much like Baozhou, everywhere is gray with only spots of popular military green as adornment.
She found a secluded spot, ensuring no one was around, took off the slightly worn and faded military coat, removed the Lei Feng hat and scarf mask. Even though the clothes and hat were old, the fabric couldn’t fool the keen eyes, combined with her extraordinary aura, which made the young woman investigating speculation and hoarding, along with the service staff at the state-run hotel, treat her with great respect.
