Chapter 1823: Qingxue Returns Home 1
This year has been the most tumultuous since the founding of the nation, no less than the sky collapsing and the earth cracking.
Even before the New Year arrived, bad news came first.
Lu Jiang was in the Capital at that time. For the next two or three months, Feng Qingxue didn’t see him at all. Occasionally, she could hear his weary voice over the phone, only to have the call end after a few short exchanges.
Feng Qingxue knew that some things could be salvaged, while others couldn’t. She could only hold down the fort and comfort the family.
For the family and the country, Lu Jiang forged ahead with determination and without looking back.
Most of the news for the Wanglou Brigade came from the radio and newspapers. More detailed parts were brought by Zhao Anbang to Old Man Lu and Zhou Fengchun, one by one, without giving people time to react.
Perhaps because the Emperor is far away, the people of the Wanglou Brigade, although confused and uneasy due to the upheaval, quickly put their grief aside and resumed their calm as they needed to continue living.
The weather’s impact on the Wanglou Brigade wasn’t significant, and summer brought another bountiful harvest.
Thanks to the use of fertilizer, the per-acre yield of wheat doubled directly. The full grains of wheat were moved into the granary, making the villagers beam with joy. This year, they wouldn’t go hungry again, how wonderful!
Father Lu and Xibao were very worried about Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue, who were at the forefront of disaster relief.
When they turned over the public grain, Lu Jiang, located in the Capital, stood firm against opposition. With various investigation materials, he explained the imminent dangers, withstanding external pressures, arranging local troops to prioritize prevention, and timely evacuating and relocating most of the population, saving the country enormous losses and countless lives. Feng Qingxue further led the medical team to the frontline, saving lives and treating the wounded.
