Chapter 57 The First Meeting Between the Two Parties 1
Lu Jiang brought a lot of luggage. In addition to the military coat and military shoes mentioned by Zhao Yong, there were also things given by his comrades, and various military supplies, both new and old, that he had packed. He planned to bring the old ones to his father and nephew.
It was not that he did not want to give new ones, but he knew that giving new ones would only cause trouble.
Therefore, when getting on and off the train, Lu Jiang carried, shouldered, held, and carried large and small bags.
Soldiers were treated preferentially when riding the train. They could get on the train in advance, and the train attendants would help them get off the train. In addition, Lu Jiang sent a telegram to his father before departure. Ten days later, he walked out of the train station with the crowd and saw his old father and Wang Zhengguo waiting in the cold wind.
Lu Zhiyuan was wrapped in an old military coat, and Wang Zhengguo was wrapped in an old cotton-padded jacket. They kept blowing their hands 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 cloud of white air as soon as he opened his mouth.
Wang Zhengguo smiled and said, "Maybe the train is late again. You know this happens often."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lu Jiang.
People in military uniforms are very eye-catching, not to mention that Lu Jiang is tall and strong.
"Ah 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, long-legged, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and was very satisfied.
Lu Jiang, who had lightened his burden, was also very polite when he saw Wang Zhengguo, "Hello, Uncle Wang."
"Good! Hello to you too." Wang Zhengguo agreed repeatedly, smiling from ear to ear.
Lu Zhiyuan was also very happy to see his son, and helped to move the luggage to the ox cart, "Ah Jiang, let's go home!"
At this time, Lu Zhiyuan's voice was very loud.
Both sons are his pride, but it's a pity that the eldest son died young. Now there is only this son. Seeing him, Lu Zhiyuan is naturally refreshed and full of pride.
"Don't rush home yet." Lu Jiang quickly packed the luggage on the oxcart, looked back at his father and Wang Zhengguo, "Let's go to the state-owned restaurant for a meal, and then go home."
By the way, bring some food from the state-owned restaurant to the two nephews, otherwise they won't be able to cook when they get home.
Lu Jiang, who had returned home to visit his relatives once last year, knew the situation of his family very well.
Wang Zhengguo was about to refuse, but Lu Zhiyuan said, "It's my duty, it's my duty, your uncle Wang accompanied me to pick you up from afar, so I should treat your uncle Wang to a meal. Zhengguo, don't be polite, let's go to the state-owned restaurant!"
Wang Zhengguo had to swallow the words that were about to come out after hearing this.
The three drove to the nearby state-owned restaurant, and the oxcart and the luggage stopped on the roadside in front of the state-owned restaurant. After the three went in, they saw Lu Jiang, who was in a military uniform and looked imposing, and a waitress immediately came up to greet them attentively.
"Serving the people. Comrades, please come in. What would you like to eat?"
Lu Jiang asked his father and Wang Zhengguo to find an empty seat and asked, "What food is here?"
The waiter said crisply, "We only have noodles and cabbage and radish now, nothing else."
"No meat?" Lu Jiang frowned.
"No. Today we only got half a pig's head, which was bought by the cadres of the coal factory early in the morning."
Wang Zhengguo hurriedly said, "Ajiang, there is a shortage of food in cities and towns now. We don't care about that. A bowl of noodles is enough."
Lu Jiang had to order three bowls of noodles, a bowl of cabbage stewed with vermicelli, and a plate of stir-fried shredded radish.
