Chapter 88 Visiting Comrades 4
After visiting some comrades and friends in the local area, the city, and the surrounding counties, and going to the photo studio to retrieve the photos of the two, Lu Jiang's 20-day vacation came to an end.
Defending the country is the duty of a soldier. No matter how attached he is, Lu Jiang cannot stay at home.
While he was busy packing his luggage and bidding farewell to his relatives and friends, Feng Qingxue also packed up the things she had prepared for him.
During these days, she sometimes went shopping with Lu Jiang to cultivate feelings and visit nearby comrades and friends. Most of the time, she stayed at home and worked overtime to knit sweaters and trousers for Lu Jiang. The wool was the blue wool that Lu Jiang bought for her at that time.
Lu Jiang was tall and burly, and four pounds of wool was not enough.
Feng Qingxue secretly looked through the space and finally found a wool thread with almost the same color and texture, and added one pound.
In addition to this sweater and trousers, considering that soldiers often train in the wind and sun, she then made a sheepskin waistcoat, two pairs of sheepskin knee pads, and two pairs of sheepskin wrist guards for Lu Jiang, all with military green khaki cloth. There was no time to make cotton shoes, so she could only wait until they were made and send them to him. Lu Jiang had already told her his contact address.
I remember Wang Zhengguo accidentally said that Lu Jiang would take ten days just to take the train. Although soldiers had priority in travel and treatment, Feng Qingxue was still worried that he would not eat well on the road, so she started to work three days before Lu Jiang left.
She pretended to go out in front of her sister and brought back many things. She used the coarse flour she brought back to mix a large bowl of batter, and washed the small crucian carp, white rice strips and other small fish that had been processed and stored in the space, marinated them with salt and five-spice powder, and then coated them with a layer of batter, and then borrowed iron griddles and iron pots from the production brigade to secretly make pancakes and fried small fish.
Fold the pancakes and wrap them with clean white fine cotton cloth, and put the fried fish into two clean empty malted milk cans.
Feng Qingxue left a few pancakes and a bowl of fried fish for her sister, "The rest are for Brother Lu to take on the road. I'll find a way to get an iron pan back later, and we can fry and eat now, okay?"
"Sister, then give them all to Brother Lu. I can't finish all the delicious food in our house." Feng Qingyun said sensibly.
"It's okay, save it and eat it slowly."
Feng Qingxue used half a pot of soybean oil, and the salted fish was fried thoroughly. The color was golden, fragrant, and very crispy. It was rolled in the pancake and eaten. The fragrance was full of the mouth. It was really delicious.
Feng Qingyun felt that it was much better than the malted milk trough cake.
The only pity was that it was not placed in a sealed can, so it became soft after one night and was not as delicious as it was just out of the pan.
The day of departure came in a blink of an eye. Feng Qingxue got up before dawn and boiled twenty eggs and thirty salted duck eggs. She filled two cloth bags with peanuts and broad bean flowers, and added other things that were easy to carry. She packed a big bag with food and another big bag with clothes. Wang Zhengguo drove to pick her up and sent Lu Jiang off. He couldn't help blinking.
Although he didn't know what was in the bag, he knew it was full.
Feng Qingyun followed along. When he saw Lu Jiang and his father, he smiled innocently and said softly, "Brother-in-law, my sister made a lot of delicious food and clothes for you!"
How could Lu's father and Lu Jiang not see it? The former was happy for his son, and the latter looked at Feng Qingxue tenderly.
"Qingxue, you took the trouble."
Feng Qingxue was a little embarrassed, "It didn't take much. The food is in the bag. Don't treat yourself badly on the road. Eat the food that can't be kept for a long time first. If it's cold, add two more clothes."
