After ordering, the waiter immediately calculated the cost.

“Noodles are eight cents a bowl, two grain tickets, cabbage stew with noodles is five cents, shredded radish is three cents, a total of six grain tickets, and thirty-two cents.”

“Comrade, do you have any food that is convenient to take away here? Buns, steamed buns, or pancakes all would do.” Lu Jiang was thinking about the two nephews left at home, while he pulled out his money and grain tickets to ask the server.

The busy waiter responded with a smile, “The only staple food we have here is noodles.” It was the same reply she had given earlier.

“Alright, when we leave, please pack five pounds of noodles for us to take home.”

“Sure, comrade, one pound of noodles costs one grain ticket.”

After Lu Jiang heard the price of the noodles from the waiter, he immediately paid with money and grain tickets.

Seeing the military grain tickets, the waiter’s eyes lit up even more.

In these times, military grain tickets were rare to come by. And holding a military grain ticket would give you priority at the grain shop. She quickly took them into her hands, gave back the change, and turned to ask the kitchen to start cooking the orders.

When the waiter left, Lu Jiang turned to Wang Zhengguo and said, “Uncle Wang, we may not have ordered enough noodles. Let’s order more.”

“We have enough, enough. Ajiang, you don’t need to spend more money.” There was already a full large bowl of noodles, along with cabbage and spring onions. Although it was made of dark noodles, it was still fine grain. And during the slack farming season, Wang Zhengguo’s appetite was not as big as one would imagine.

The noodles were overcooked and slightly clotted together, but no one complained.

It was challenging for both Wang Zhengguo and Lu Zhiyuan to finish the noodles with the side dishes. They were so full they felt like they could choke, but Lu Jiang was still hungry and ordered two more bowls of noodles, and finished all the remaining dishes.

“Soldiers need to eat a lot, otherwise they won’t have enough energy for training and fighting,” Lu Zhiyuan explained with a smile.

Wang Zhengguo quickly agreed, “I understand; soldiers are tasked with the responsibility of defending our country. You must eat well to have the strength for war.”

As far as he knew, the best resources were mostly reserved for the military.

After Lu Jiang was well fed and satisfied, the three left the state-owned restaurant, drove the ox cart back to the Wanglou Brigade.

By then it was getting late and night was beginning to fall.

As he sat side by side with his son on the ox cart, Lu Jiang briefly explained the family conditions of Feng Qingxue. “Your Uncle Wang made it quite clear. The girl wants to live with her five-year-old younger sister. I’ve agreed to it. We’ve also got your two nephews at home whom we’ll need you to support in the future. It wouldn’t be fair to refuse her the right to take care of her younger sister.”

Lu Jiang nodded slightly and had a positive impression of Feng Qingxue.

In this hard age, many people are in a state of hunger and it is not uncommon to hear of female infants being drowned. Choosing not to abandon her young sister after the death of their parents speaks highly of the girl’s character.

Considering his own family’s status, he wouldn’t dare to bring in a girl with a bad character, out of fear that she might not treat his father and nephews well.

However, any girl willing to meet him would probably have already accepted his family status, so there wouldn’t be any trouble down the line because of it.

“Of course, we couldn’t possibly separate the sisters.”

What is empathy? This is it.

Supporting his two nephews, he should naturally empathize with the girl’s decision to take care of her younger sister.

When he hears Lu Jiang say that, Wang Zhengguo, who was sitting behind, was particularly gratified. “Ajiang, I’m really glad to hear you say that. Not to flatter my own niece, but she’s several times better than an average village girl. She is a child who knows how to be grateful and reciprocate. I guarantee that she won’t let you down.”
