Chapter 57 The two sides first met 1

Lu Jiang brought a lot of luggage. In addition to the military coats and shoes that Zhao Yong mentioned, there were also things given by his comrades, as well as various old and new military supplies that he had packed up himself. The old ones he planned to take to his father and nephew.

It's not that he doesn't want to give new ones, but he knows that giving new ones will only cause trouble.

Therefore, when getting on and off the bus, Lu Jiang always carried, carried, held, and carried large and small bags.

Soldiers were given preferential treatment on trains. They got on the train in advance and were assisted by conductors when getting off. In addition, Lu Jiang sent a telegram to his father before departure. Ten days later, he walked out of the train station with the flow of people and saw his father waiting in the cold wind. and Wang Zhengguo.

Lu Zhiyuan was wrapped in an old army coat, and Wang Zhengguo was wrapped in an old cotton-padded jacket. They kept shouting and stamping their feet. There was an ox cart parked behind them.

"Why hasn't Lu Jiang arrived yet? It's almost dark." Lu Zhiyuan frowned and exhaled a puff of white air as soon as he opened his mouth.

Wang Zhengguo smiled and said: "Maybe the train is late again. You don't know that this happens often."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lu Jiang.

People in military uniforms are already very eye-catching, not to mention that Lu Jiang is tall and burly.

"A Jiang is here!" Wang Zhengguo pulled Lu Zhiyuan to remind him, and then hurriedly stepped forward to take Lu Jiang's luggage. He looked up at Lu Jiang, who was tall, leggy, and sword-browed, and felt extremely satisfied.

Lu Jiang, whose burden was relieved, was also very polite when he saw Wang Zhengguo, "Hello, Uncle Wang."

"Okay! It's okay for you too." Wang Zhengguo agreed repeatedly, smiling from ear to ear.

Lu Zhiyuan was also very happy to see his son and helped carry the luggage to the oxcart, "Ah Jiang, let's go home!"

At this time, Lu Zhiyuan's voice was louder.

Both sons were his pride. Unfortunately, the eldest son died young, and now he only had such a son. Seeing him, Lu Zhiyuan was naturally refreshed and filled with pride.

"Don't rush home yet." Lu Jiang quickly packed the luggage on the oxcart and looked back at his father and Wang Zhengguo. "Let's go to a state-owned restaurant to have a meal first, and then go home."

By the way, I brought some food from the state-owned restaurant to my two nephews, otherwise I wouldn't be able to cook when they get home.

Lu Jiang, who had gone home to visit his relatives once last year, knew the situation of his family very well.

Just as Wang Zhengguo was about to refuse, Lu Zhiyuan had already said: "Yes, yes. Your Uncle Wang accompanied me all the way to pick you up. It's time to treat your Uncle Wang to a meal. Zhengguo, don't be polite." , let’s go to the state-owned hotel!”

After Wang Zhengguo heard this, he had to swallow what he almost said.

The three of them drove to a nearby state-owned hotel. The ox cart and their luggage were parked on the roadside in front of the state-owned hotel. After the three of them entered, they saw Lu Jiang, who was wearing a military uniform and looked imposing. A waitress immediately greeted him attentively. .

"Serving the people. Comrades, please come in. What do you need to eat?"

Lu Jiang asked his father and Wang Zhengguo to find an empty seat and sit down, and asked, "What kind of food is there?"

The waiter said crisply: "Now there are only noodles, cabbage and radish, and nothing else."

"No meat?" Lu Jiang frowned.

"No. We only got half a pair of pig heads here today, and they were bought by the cadres of the coal factory early in the morning."

Wang Zhengguo said hurriedly: "Ah Jiang, there is a shortage of food in both urban and rural areas now. We don't care about that. A bowl of noodles is enough."

Lu Jiang had to order three bowls of noodles, one bowl of cabbage stewed vermicelli, and one plate of stir-fried shredded radish.
