Lu Jiang brought a lot of luggage. Other than the military coat and military boots that Zhao Yong mentioned, there were presents from comrades, and new and old military supplies that he had packed himself. The old ones were intended for his father and nephew.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to give new ones, but he knew that doing so would only bring trouble.

Thus, getting on and off the vehicle, Lu Jiang was always lugging, carrying, and holding large and small packages.

As a soldier, he had priority when boarding the vehicle. The train attendant helped him when dismounting, and before leaving, Lu Jiang had sent a telegram to his father. Ten days later, when he walked out of the train station with the crowd, he indeed saw his waiting old father and Wang Zhengguo in the chilly wind.

Lu Zhiyuan wore an old military coat while Wang Zhengguo wore an old cotton jacket. They were stamping their feet and rubbing their hands together to keep warm, and behind them, a bullock cart stood.

“Where’s Lu Jiang? It’s getting dark soon.” Lu Zhiyuan said, his frowning face expelling a puff of white breath as he spoke.

Wang Zhengguo laughed, “The train might be delayed again, you know this happens often.”

Just as he finished his sentence, he saw Lu Jiang.

It’s hard not to notice anyone in a military uniform, let alone when that person is tall and well-built like Lu Jiang.

“Ajiang is here!” Wang Zhengguo pulled Lu Zhiyuan, alerting him, then quickly stepped forward to take Lu Jiang’s luggage. Looking up at Lu Jiang, who was tall, with long legs, and sharp eyebrows, he was extremely pleased.

Lu Jiang, now relieved of his burden, courteously greeted Wang Zhengguo, “Hello Uncle Wang.”

“Good, good! You too.” Wang Zhengguo responded repeatedly, beaming.

Lu Zhiyuan was also very happy to see his son, helping to move the luggage onto the bullock cart. “Ajiang, let’s go home!”

At this time, Lu Zhiyuan’s voice sounded particularly bright.

Both his sons were his pride, but it was a pity that his elder son died young. Now, he only had this son left. Seeing him, Lu Zhiyuan was naturally recharged and filled with pride.

“We’re not going home yet.” Lu Jiang quickly sorted out the luggage on the bullock cart and turned back to his father and Wang Zhengguo. “Let’s head to the state-owned restaurant and have a meal, then we’ll go home.”

He would also bring something to eat home from the state-owned restaurant for his two nephews since there would be no time to cook once they get home.

Having come home on a visit last year, Lu Jiang knew his family’s situation quite well.

Wang Zhengguo was about to refuse, but Lu Zhiyuan cut in, “Exactly, exactly. It’s right for you to treat your Uncle Wang to a meal since he came all this way to pick you up. Zhengguo, don’t be so polite, let’s go to the state-owned restaurant!”

Hearing this, Wang Zhengguo had to swallow the words he was about to utter.

The three men then took the bullock cart to the nearby state-owned restaurant. They left the cart and the luggage by the roadside, in front of the restaurant. Once they walked in, the female waitress immediately greeted them, clearly noticing Lu Jiang who looked impressive in his military uniform.

“Serving the people. Please come inside, comrades. What would you like to eat?”

As Lu Jiang gestured to his father and Wang Zhengguo to find a seat, he asked, “What dishes do you have here?”

The waitress crisply replied, “We only have noodles and cabbage radish now, nothing else.”

“No meat?” Lu Jiang frowned.

“No. Today, only half a pig’s head was roistered to our restaurant, and it was bought by a cadre from the coal factory early in the morning.”

Wang Zhengguo quickly said, “Ajiang, there’s a food shortage everywhere in the city and the countryside. Let’s not fuss about that, a bowl of noodles is good enough.”

Left with no choice, Lu Jiang ordered three bowls of noodles, a bowl of cabbage and glass noodle soup, and a plate of stir-fried shredded radish.
