Chapter 926: Chapter 0926: Confirming Identity 4

In the following days, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue temporarily shelved their plans to visit the Caohu production brigade. They left early and returned late every day, often using disguises as they frequented the waste collection stations of Huaibei City and its surrounding counties. They spent several hundred yuan and a few yellow croakers, acquiring most of the valuable cultural relics into their space and also appeared at black markets, trading money and food for many antiques.

Once, at the city waste station, the couple unexpectedly bumped into Huang Qingbai. They all pretended not to recognize each other and continued to search for their respective targets.

As the campaign came to an end and with Cheng Baoguo’s swift and decisive actions, batches of external students left one after another. The smashing, looting, and burning activities of household raids drastically decreased, and the flow of cultural relics and paintings to the waste collection stations naturally dwindled as well.

The campaign was still underway, with household raids happening from time to time but no longer with the initial frenzy.

Of course, most of the cultural relics and antiques had been destroyed over the past half a year, and the majority of the renowned individuals with "bad elements" had already fallen into misfortune. What remained were just those who had slipped through the net—ordinary people living in fear and trepidation.

Feng Qingxue was so tired her eyes bore dark circles, and she looked haggard. Lu Jiang said with heartache, "Rest at home today!"

If it weren’t for Feng Qingxue’s insistence, he would have stopped the action to save cultural relics and paintings long ago.

Were those things more precious than Feng Qingxue?

Feng Qingxue rubbed her eyes and yawned, "Okay, then you take care of the children. Xiaoyun and you prepare lunch; I’m going back to sleep." They had rushed back from the neighboring county last night, arriving home in the middle of the night. After washing up and tidying things up, it was almost one or two in the morning, then they had woken up at five or six to cook. She really couldn’t bear it anymore.

"Go to sleep!" Lu Jiang tucked her in before picking up his daughter and going out.

Feng Qingxue closed her eyes and slept until mid-afternoon, feeling rejuvenated. As she checked her watch, she suddenly heard the voice of strangers outside. She quickly got out of bed, dressed, tidied up her makeup, and lifted the grass bead curtain to go out.

Feng Qingxue didn’t know the full name of the grass bead plant, but these plants grew abundantly on hills and fields. Diligent households would pick them and string them together with hemp thread as a makeshift curtain, while beauty-loving girls would make bracelets to wear on their wrists, or necklaces to wear around their necks. No one would accuse them of living a capitalist lifestyle for doing so.

"Ajiang!" Feng Qingxue dropped the curtain and called out as she also saw the situation inside the room.

Lu Jiang was talking to Chen Xueniang and a middle-aged couple. Next to the couple sat a woman in her thirties, holding the frowning and pouting Chen Chi, who looked unwilling.

At the sound of Feng Qingxue’s voice, they all turned their heads to look at her.

"Qingxue, you’re awake," said Chen Xueniang as she spoke, the middle-aged couple and the woman holding Chen Chi all stood up.

"Yes, I’m awake. I apologize for sleeping while you’ve come to visit our home; it’s quite rude of me," Feng Qingxue spoke apologetically, blaming Lu Jiang a bit as she continued, "Let me guess, our esteemed guests must be Lao Yi’s parents and sister, right? I’ve heard Aunt Guo Yan mention the situation of Lao Yi’s family before."

The middle-aged woman stepped forward, holding Feng Qingxue’s hands with tears glistening in her eyes, "Yes, comrade Qingxue, it’s nice to meet you. I am Han Bing, this is my husband Lao Zhenhua, and Lao Yi and Xiaobao’s elder sister Lao Ying."
