Chapter 250: Chapter 0250: The Eve of Mid-Autumn Festival 2_1

Feng Qingxue quickly made up her mind to return to her maternal home to give Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng.

She actually had some good stuff at home, which she planned to save for her family to eat. As it wasn’t easy to bring it out on regular days, she went to see Wang Jiao after dinner. Coincidentally, Zhang Yuejin was still there after his meal.

"Is our cousin here? Come sit, come sit." Zhang Yuejin, who held a significant position in the Wanglou Brigade, had also attended the wedding feast in the past.

So, he recognized Feng Qingxue, and Feng Qingxue recognized him too.

Perhaps because he was a master butcher earning a good living and eating well, he was robust, tall and with handsome bushy brows big eyes. Although he had a somewhat fierce look, according to Wang Jiao’s glimpses of comments, Zhang Yuejin treated her very well, which didn’t bother Feng Qingxue. After all, you can’t judge a book by its cover.

"Cousin, don’t stand on ceremony. Are you here to give gifts to Aunt and Uncle?" Feng Qingxue asked.

Zhang Yuemin nodded with a laugh and said in his loud and brash voice, "It’s almost the 15th day of the eighth month, and there are many people queuing up to buy meat. I finished all my work early this morning and had nothing else to do, so I decided to come back and see Mum and Dad."

’Mum and Dad’ refers to Wang Zhiguo and Miao Fengqin. This showed that no matter what others said about Wang Jiao, Zhang Yuejin really cared for her and was willing to indulge in Wang Jiao’s behaviors. Therefore, Wang Zhenguo and Miao Fengqin were radiant with joy and extremely satisfied. After all, wasn’t the reason they chose Zhang Yuejin because he had set his heart on Wang Jiao and didn’t want to marry any other kind, virtuous girl?

Wang Jiao blinked her large eyes and suddenly said, "Zhang Yuejin, I’m now learning needlework with Cousin. I can knit sweaters and make shoes. Tell me your shoe size later, and I’ll make the first pair for you!"

Wang Zhenguo and Miao Fengqin felt a pang of jealousy at this, whereas Zhang Yuejin first was stunned, then broke into a delighted smile.

"Won’t doing needlework strain your eyes? Will it tire you out?" Zhang Yuejin asked, whose words would comfort anyone who heard them. Both Wang Jiao and Wang Zhenguo and Miao Fengqin found them soothing.

Wang Jiao winked at him, "Even if it does, I would still like to make them for you first!"

Feng Qingxue commended that this Cousin was indeed deft in her words. No wonder she had such a firm grip on Zhang Yuejin and made him devoted to her wholeheartedly. Some people were just born with good fortunes. Even if she didn’t end up making the shoes, her intention to do so would have made Zhang Yuejin happy.

She needs to learn well from her on this aspect.

"Yuejin, don’t pamper her too much. It’s not a big deal if making a pair of shoes tires her out. You guys are getting married soon, and Jiaojiao should learn some sewing skills. You can’t always rely on others to mend your clothes and shoes." Miao Fengqin couldn’t bear to see her daughter get tired either, but after finishing with the superficial talk, she changed the topic, "Xiaoxue, what brought you here?"

Feng Qingxue hastily replied, "Isn’t the 15th day of the eighth month approaching? I was thinking of visiting my Uncle and Aunt. Ajiang left me some ration coupons when he left, and I thought I could invite Cousin to go shopping in the city tomorrow and see if we can buy some meat, mooncakes, and fruits."

"Cousin wants to buy meat? How much do you want? I can reserve it for you in advance. It’s almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the supply in the city is slightly higher than usual. I should be able to get half a pig after slaughtering it tomorrow. If you want to buy other things, let me know how much you need. I have a good relationship with the sales staff at the grocery store. If there are items in high demand, they can set them aside for you. When you and Jiaojiao arrive, you can directly use the coupons to take the items back. No need to queue up." Zhang Yuejin said thoughtfully.
