Chapter 1783: Chapter 1783: Returning Full 4

Feng Qingxue and Lu Jiang were walking back to the camp, and as they passed the orphanage, they suddenly thought of Wang Zhao.

"How is that child doing now? Did he manage to enlist as he wished?" Feng Qingxue was a bit frustrated. Ever since returning from the south, she had been busy without knowing what she was busy with. Lu Jiang hadn’t been home for long, and the couple hadn’t discussed this matter. Over time, they had forgotten about Wang Zhao, which was really inexcusable.

Lu Jiang replied, "I didn’t intervene. He got accepted on his own merit into the Capital Art Troupe."

Feng Qingxue felt relieved, "Achieving what he wished for, that’s great."

They help others without seeking anything in return, but they were happy to see those they helped moving in a positive direction.

However, Lu Jiang was still worried about his missing comrades. If they were well, that would be fine, but it seemed like Wang Zhao and Deng Hongling’s niece and uncle were just a few among many, making it hard for him to be at ease.

Feng Qingxue sighed and said, "Right now, transportation and communication are inconvenient. Even sending a letter to their hometown doesn’t guarantee it will reach the intended person."

Lu Jiang nodded slightly and then asked, "Who was Deng Hongling’s fiancé? When he was young, he talked with Deng Nan about marrying a heroic sister-in-law. But in Deng Nan’s time of crisis, he called off the marriage with Deng Hongling and married someone else. Can such a person be called a hero? Saying he’s a coward is even praising him."

Feng Qingxue covered her mouth and chuckled, "I don’t know about that. I didn’t ask in detail to avoid reopening wounds in Hongling and Old Lady Liao’s hearts. If they want to talk, I’ll listen; if not, I won’t ask. However, we can look into it."

Lu Jiang didn’t have time to investigate such trivial matters, as he was headed to the Capital for a meeting in a few days.

Feng Qingxue went to work on time every day, and being alone at home was rather peaceful.

As the New Year approached, Feng Qingxue had a day off. She locked the main door and started frying radish balls and rice flour pastries in the kitchen. She placed the freshly fried items into the space to ensure they stayed crispy and not soft when taken out later, especially when tired.

Feng Qingxue cooked a big pot of Dongpo pork, storing it in a stainless steel bucket inside the space, leaving a piece of meat and half a bowl of broth for herself to pour over rice for lunch, when she suddenly heard someone calling her aunt from outside.

After airing the kitchen to disperse the aroma of meat, Feng Qingxue went to open the door and found it was Liu Baozhu.

When Fubao returned to her hometown, she invited Liu Baozhu to join her. Among the kids in the compound, Fubao and Liu Baozhu had the best relationship, but unfortunately, the Liu Family didn’t agree, so Liu Baozhu stayed behind and continued going to school. Currently, it was the winter vacation period.

"Baozhu, do you need something from me?" Feng Qingxue was always kind and approachable to her.

Liu Baozhu’s large, bright eyes flickered. She usually ate out using the Grain Ticket and money Liu Zhenguo gave her, never skimping on herself, which made her well-fed and chubby. Her round face was full of seriousness and urgency, and her voice was low, "Aunt, Grandpa’s daughter-in-law has returned!"

Feng Qingxue was not very familiar with the Liu Family, so she casually said, "What about Comrade Liu Zhenguo’s daughter-in-law coming back?"

Liu Baozhu was so anxious she almost jumped, "She’s the wife of the embezzler!"

She didn’t get along with the other Liu Family members, nor did she bother calling her aunt-in-law.

Feng Qingxue knew who she meant then. Lu Jiang had mentioned that Liu Zhenguo’s eldest son was caught red-handed for corruption while in office. The old leader personally ordered his execution.

This incident happened last February or March, and his wife only returned this year? Isn’t that a bit late?
