Chapter 936: Chapter 936: A World for Two 4

Wang Jiao arrived at the Lu Family’s home when Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue were already on their way to Huaibei City.

Neither of them could conveniently ride a bicycle, had no access to a donkey cart, and felt too embarrassed to ask for a ride, but fortunately, the fastest train to Shanghai departed in the evening, so the couple decided to walk into the city.

In a deserted area, they stowed their luggage in the storage space, and Qingxue also remembered the Phoenix Brand bicycle in there.

It had only been ridden two or three times and was just like new.

"When did you buy it?"

Lu Jiang was riding the bicycle with her sitting on the back seat. When she heard his question, she covered her mouth and laughed, "It was quite a while ago, and it cost a pretty penny at the time. I never had a reason to take it out, so it just ended up gathering dust in the storage space."

"You really do have everything in that space." Every time it surprised Lu Jiang.

"Although there are plenty of supplies, they are all finite, once gone, there are none left," Feng Qingxue sighed, then added, "But in the past two years, out of concerns for causing an impact, and because we were in the military and it wasn’t convenient to take items out, we haven’t consumed much of the food. There’s still a lot left, lots of fruits, clothes, socks, and so on, so much that we haven’t taken out to share with the family."

It was easy to find excuses, but the fact that the market didn’t have such goods meant that taking them out would invite suspicion.

She used to worry there wouldn’t be enough food to feed everyone, but now her concern was not being able to take them out.

Lu Jiang couldn’t help but laugh, "I hope we’ll never have to use the supplies in the storage space, but unfortunately..."

"There will come a day when we won’t have to. Our country needs time to grow," Feng Qingxue understood his implication. Not having to use them would mean that they were not needed in life, indicating that the people had enough food and clothing, a testament of sincere hearts to heaven and earth.

Lu Jiang nodded, "That’s right, just like when you bet with me."

Feng Qingxue reached out and poked his lower back, "Weren’t you reluctant to make a bet with me?"

"Betting, let’s bet! Thirty years, I think, is not enough. How about we decide the winner after fifty years?"

Qingxue was startled for a moment, then slowly smiled, a very sweet and beautiful smile, her voice equally sweet, like a freshly picked apple, crisp and juicy, "Alright, we’ll make it fifty years, and after fifty years we’ll see who wins."

She hoped more than anyone that they could live another fifty years in peace and safety, to change Lu Jiang’s fate from his last life.

Qingxue’s heart was filled with compassion when she thought of Lu Jiang’s past life.

Lu Jiang was unaware of what was going through his wife’s mind as he casually said, "What if you lose? And what if I lose? We need a wager for the bet. Should we bet Xibao?"

"Xibao is your son. How could he be used as a wager? If he found out that he’s become a betting chip for his parents, he would definitely duel with you when he grows up!" Qingxue swung her legs, then had a spark of inspiration, "I got it! If you lose, you’ll have to carry me for a hundred steps. You didn’t carry me off the bridal sedan chair when we got married, and even if we are old, you won’t escape this time. Plus, we’ll have Xibao and the others as witnesses!"

How old would she be in fifty years?

Lu Jiang calculated in his mind; he would be in his early eighties. To fulfill her request, he would need to take good care of his health.

"Okay!" He readily agreed, feeling very confident in himself that he could indeed carry his wife, "But what if you lose? After all, a bet has winners and losers, and we have fifty years to witness the outcome."

"I won’t lose; you are definitely going to lose," Feng Qingxue was quite confident.

Lu Jiang said, "I’m talking about ’if.’"

"There are no ’ifs’." Feng Qingxue stated.
