Chapter 911: Chapter 0911: Visiting Relatives and Friends 9

Lu Jiang spread his hands, "Let’s just take care of the food today. In a few days, we can arrange for other supplies or bring back some meat. If we reveal everything at once, won’t we scare them to death? No, we’ll only tell Dad about the food we brought, and not mention it to anyone else. When you previously brought food to Dad, he never asked where it came from, and he won’t start asking now or in the future."

In his family’s eyes, Feng Qingxue was a hero with the ability and connections to obtain scarce resources.

Feng Qingxue thought it made sense. "We’ll do as you say. Also, while we’re home, dig a cellar here. When we leave, we can hide some food inside and say we got it from outside. We’ll only tell Dad and privately supplement the family’s needs. Without any oil or side dishes, just relying on grains alone really isn’t enough to fill us up."

An adult man doing hard labor needs about a jin of grains a day, just over three liang per meal. Even with vegetables from their private plot to supplement, it’s still not nearly enough to fill the stomach!

As soon as they returned home, Guan Cheng came out to open the door and help move the grains.

He was already accustomed to Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue’s abilities and didn’t doubt the grains they brought. He only reported on his little brother and sister, "Xibao and Fubao have gone to sleep, fussing to sleep with their auntie in the west room."

"They didn’t make a fuss or cry?" Feng Qingxue found it hard to believe.

Her son, being older, didn’t feel lonely playing with his brothers, but her daughter was very delicate.

Guan Cheng chuckled. "Fubao cried for a while. We told her that you and Uncle went out to buy her some delicious food. It took us nearly half an hour to soothe her. As for Xibao, he was so happy playing on the horse and riding the cow in the cattle shed this evening, he nearly burst with joy. He only remembered you and Uncle when he heard Fubao crying at night and just bawled a couple of times before quieting down."

"That ungrateful little thing!" Feng Qingxue complained and urged Guan Cheng to go rest.

Lu Jiang took the mule cart to the cattle shed while she went to the west room to check on the children. Fubao, as usual, was sleeping soundly on the inside, while Xibao lay sprawled out, legs apart, one foot pushing on Feng Qingyun’s face, and the other on Feng Qingyun’s belly. The blanket had been kicked off, and Feng Qingyun lay awake, not daring to sleep.

When Feng Qingxue and the light entered the room, Feng Qingyun softly called out, "Big sister."

Feng Qingxue picked up Xibao directly and said to her sister, "Fubao sleeps soundly at night, just sleep with her and make sure you’re covered well. I’ll take Xibao with me; you won’t be able to sleep at all with him here."

When Lu Jiang came back and saw Lu Xibao on the bed, he grumbled, "Next time we come back, we’ll bring some wood to make him a bed."

"We need to find ordinary wood. A bed made of good wood will be too conspicuous." Furniture with carvings and the like belonged to old customs and culture, which were supposed to be smashed and burned. That’s why Uncle Li had to alter the furniture he got from the waste station. "Let’s quickly check out what we found in the secret compartment today while Xibao is still asleep. I’m dying of curiosity."

Worried that Xibao might wake up and see, they went to another room and took out the small wrapped package and wooden box and placed it on the table.

"You found it, you open it," Feng Qingxue said.

Lu Jiang opened the wooden box unceremoniously. There was a clasp but no lock.

The moment the box was opened, an air of ancient elegance wafted out, stunning the couple.
