Chapter 62 -0062: Formal Blind Date 2_1

In her past and present life, Feng Qingxue had eaten wild rabbit meat, but never wild boar.

Back in their rural hometown, every harvest season, the uncles and brothers in their family would finish their work, and oftentimes at night, they would ride thin, lengthy motorbikes and set their thin, long hunting dogs loose to catch rabbits and wild chickens in the mountains and fields.

They didn’t make a fuss about it, and if they caught more wild chickens and rabbits than they could eat, they offered the surplus to their neighbors for a taste.

Wild rabbit meat was tender, and wild chicken was solid; the taste was genuinely good with a wild flavor.

But, Feng Qingxue did hear elders in her family talking about hunting wild boars when they were young. An elder who was older than her grandfather had a disability in his left leg due to a wild boar’s attack.

They used to say, skinning wild boars was laborious, cooking the meat was a waste of firewood, and even eating it required great effort.

“I’ve never seen a wild boar, nor have I tasted its meat.” Feng Qingxue responded to Lu Jiang.

Lu Jiang beat about the bush, “If I happen to hunt a wild boar when I return to the regiment, I’ll have it smoked and send some pieces to you.”

“How is that acceptable?” Feng Qingxue didn’t believe she had such a charm, “Comrade Lu Jiang, hunting wild boar is strenuous and risky, so please don’t take such risks just because of my comment. You are soldiers, and your duty is to protect the country, not to satisfy the palate of a girl like me. Moreover, I don’t really want to taste it, I’m just a bit curious about wild boars.”

Lu Jiang responded vaguely, but he made up his mind to go hunting in the mountains for the people when he returned to the regiment.

With such a rare opportunity to engage closely, Lu Zhiyuan was also actively involved.

“Girl, what books do you like to read normally?” Lu Zhiyuan firmly believed that Feng Qingxue was a cultured girl, and he didn’t plan to ask her about her housework skills or how much work points she could earn.

Had it not been for the establishment of new China breaking down social classes, the Lu family, even if not wealthy, would still have everything provided for them.

Having lived in luxury for half his life, Lu Zhiyuan carried the temperament of a scholar deep within his bones.

Feng Qingxue glanced at Wang Zhengguo, and upon seeing his nod, indicating that she could be honest with Lu Zhiyuan, she began to speak with a smile: “I have never formally gone to school or studied, and all my learning comes from textbooks and books I scavenged from the recycling station. I remember my teacher in the illiteracy class taught us that knowledge brings wisdom, so I have never given up on myself. Uncle Lu asked me about my favorite books, well, I like many books—poems, songs, literature, classics, there is nothing I do not like.”

Pause in here, Feng Qingxue continued: “The current situation is too complicated, I am too timid, so I never mention my self-study or my favorite books outside.”

The books she enjoys most are the Four Great Classical Novels, especially “Dream of the Red Chamber,” which dominates half of the literary world. Can she mention that?

Even though he didn’t get a clear answer, this was enough for Lu Zhiyuan to feel very pleased. Her being able to express herself this way showed that she is well-read and cautious, which is needed in the present times.

The era indeed requires caution.

As Lu Zhiyuan was about to say something more, he noticed that the oxcart had arrived at Caohu brigade.

“You guys don’t need to get off, wait here. I’ll take Snow home.” Wang Zhengguo thought more thoroughly. By his proposition, both Lu Zhiyuan and Lu Jiang had no objections, even if Lu Jiang really wanted to accompany Feng Qingxue home himself, but he had to be mindful of being discreet.

As Wang Zhengguo is her biological uncle, him escorting her niece home wouldn’t invite gossip, but it’s different for Lu Jiang.

If the two were engaged, no one would object to Lu Jiang escorting Feng Qingxue home. Unfortunately, they were not.
