Chapter 747: Chapter 0747: Storm is Coming 3_1

The train ticket home was set for eight o’clock in the evening. Lu’s father didn’t have many belongings. All he had were his change of clothes he brought himself, the rations prepared by Wang Fengqiao and Feng Qingxue, the gifts given by the old leader, and the clothes and nutritional supplies Feng Qingxue had prepared for the children at home. He had no other luggage.

As for the items he had bought in the junk market or black market, Father Lu felt it was unsafe to bring them home in case of inspections. The military was different, as Guo Yan had said. It was relatively stable there and Lu Jiang had a high position, average people wouldn’t come to check up. All of these items were given to Feng Qingxue to take back to the military, with the reason being that there was a shortage of plates and cutlery in the military family district.

Therefore, after seeing his daughter-in-law and others off, Father Lu had enough time to send a telegram to his son, telling him that his daughter-in-law had got on the train that day and he should pick her up at the station to avoid leaving everyone stranded after disembarking. He also had enough time to instruct Lan Tianming to deal with the remaining issues, not to leave a bad impression on the house owners.

Lan Tianming laughed and said, "Comrade Lu, you can rest assured, I will convey your message to the house owner."

Although these pieces of furniture were heavy and had gone through many vicissities, they enlivened the originally empty room a bit.

When Jiang Xiaoyue arrived, panting, Father Lu was already walking towards the door.

"Uncle Lu, where are Sister Xue and Xibao?" Jiang Xiaoyue elongated her neck but didn’t see Feng Qingxue and Xibao coming out. As Lan Tianming locked the door, Jiang Xiaoyue’s eyes were almost popping out.

Father Lu laughed and said, "Comrade Xiaoyue, they have already left, on the morning train."

Jiang Xiaoyue stomped her feet in frustration, "Sister Xue and Xibao and Fubao left suddenly without saying goodbye. I wasn’t prepared at all! I bought something for Xibao. What should I do now that they are gone?"

After thinking a bit, she saw the luggage Father Lu was carrying, and she put the net bag of items into Father Lu’s hand.

"Comrade Xiaoyue!"

Father Lu wanted to refuse, but Jiang Xiaoyue said, "Isn’t Uncle Lu going home too? When you come to the capital, you should bring some local specialties back home, right? I remember Sister Xue saying there are quite a few children at home. You can bring these back for the children. Since Xibao can’t enjoy these, well then, I’ve got to go, we don’t need to be formal between us!"

Worried that Father Lu would refuse, she ran off after saying this. By the time she was done speaking, she was out of sight.

Father Lu, elderly with a heavy load, couldn’t chase after her.

"Well..."

Lan Tianming laughed and said, "Comrade Xiaoyue’s intentions are good, Comrade Lu, just take it."

Given the circumstances, Father Lu couldn’t say no. He made a mental note of this kindness. After arriving home, he would send a telegram or write a letter to his son and daughter-in-law, letting them know about this.

"Alright, Comrade Lan, I’m leaving. I don’t know if Xibao is behaving himself on the train."

Having been separated for just half a day, Father Lu was already starting to miss his little grandson.

At this very moment, Xibao was being anything but well-behaved. He was lying on the bunk, kicking his sock-clad feet in the air, whining, "My rocking horse, my rocking horse!"

Feng Qingxue was nursing Fubao and didn’t bother to appease him.

He hadn’t shed any tears, so it was clear he was fake crying.

"Mama!" After a while, Xibao found crying to himself boring and turned around to lie on the bunk, propped up his chin with his chubby hands and said, "Mama, Bao Bao, Bao Bao!"

"I know you’re Bao Bao, there’s no need to remind me!" Feng Qingxue responded coldly, not at all like a doting mother.

The cheeky boy meant: I am Xibao and you should comfort me.
