Lu Jiang frowned upon hearing this, "That won’t do. Since it’s a wager, there must also be consequences for you if you lose. Hmm, I’ll set one for you, wife. If you lose, you’ll have to paint a picture including the two of us and all our children and grandchildren. By then, you’ll be a master, and the painting will serve as a family heirloom!"
Feng Qingxue giggled softly, "You have that much confidence in me?"
"Of course, a master produces outstanding students!" Lu Jiang laughed heartily.
Chatting and laughing along the way, they were far from lonely, and soon they would be arriving in Huaibei City.
Finding a secluded spot to park their bicycles, they took out their luggage, one bag for food and another for clothes, both carried by Lu Jiang. Of course, it was just for show, as they could access anything from the storage space without being noticed.
Without children around, the couple felt especially relaxed and at ease, and went to eat lunch at the national restaurant.
With the students gone, the national restaurant finally regained a semblance of tranquility.
The same waitress came over to serve them. Judging by her attire and demeanor, she was no longer a young girl but a mother, with a little boy of around two years old trailing behind her.
"What a cute child."
After ordering food and paying with money and Grain Tickets, Feng Qingxue reached out to pat the little boy’s head and gave him a handful of milk candies.
The waitress thanked them profusely, unwrapped a candy for the child to put in his mouth, and pocketed the rest saying, "Xiaoke, I’ll keep the rest for you, and you can have them tomorrow."
Xiaoke obediently nodded his head, "Have it tomorrow."
The waitress took the child to the kitchen, and after a short while, she brought over the food Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue had ordered.
There was no meat left in the national restaurant due to the scarcity of food, so the couple could only order two bowls of black noodle soup and two poached eggs.
After the meal, they bought tickets and boarded the train.
Having not managed to buy a private compartment ticket, they ended up in a large sleeper carriage. Feng Qingxue chose a bunk near the carriage wall, with Lu Jiang on the outer side; both were on the upper berths. The bag with clothes was stuffed under the bed, while the one with food was kept by their feet.
Lu Jiang took out an old towel from the luggage under the bed and covered Feng Qingxue with it, "Rest well."
Feng Qingxue lay down fully clothed and closed her eyes.
Only with enough rest, could one have the energy to carry out tasks.
Lu Jiang also lay down. Being tall and burly, he found the small sleeping berth somewhat cramped and had to curl his legs to fit.
It wasn’t long before Feng Qingxue opened her eyes, "Can’t sleep."
In the sleeper carriage filled with both men and women, the noise was deafening, including some students who were being sent home from the Down to the Countryside Movement; most of them seemed to be from Shanghai.
Most of the other passengers were seething internally but dared not express their anger outwardly.
Hearing this, Feng Qingxue and Lu Jiang exchanged a glance, their eyes both flickering with suppressed rage.
