Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 368 - 0: The Battle over Food 4_1

Feng Qingxue could hear the gravity in his tone, as if he had made a huge decision before speaking, she couldn’t help but ask what the matter was.

Lu Jiang was silent for a long time, then said somberly, "I want to donate our family’s gold to the nation."

"What made you think like that?" Feng Qingxue did not disagree but was curious.

Lu Jiang found that his wife neither agreed nor disapproved, he sighed deeply, "Our country’s military equipment is too outdated. A lot of the time, it’s not that our soldiers don’t know how to fight, it’s not that they can’t defeat the enemy, but they lose due to lack of equipment, forever sacrificing their young lives."

Talking about his deceased comrades, his eyes turned a little red, and his nose felt a little sour.

"What use is gold?"

"Our country is poor, underdeveloped, and lacking in resources, a lot of the technical equipment relies on imports, and foreign exchange is entirely exchanged for gold, a lot of equipment and materials for machinery that we need at home are required to be bought with our nation’s gold! The bank has always been collecting gold and does not allow it to be sold abroad, that’s why. Although the amount of gold our family has isn’t much, compared to the national gold reserve is negligible, but I still want to contribute my meager efforts."

"Our family doesn’t lack money right now, the five thousand you sent me earlier hasn’t been touched yet! Now there’s a shortage of materials, and there’s not much need for money, your salary is more than sufficient, we can save a bit each month. For us, gold can’t be sold, keeping it buried seems a bit wasteful. If you want to donate, just donate."

Feng Qingxue liked jewelry, as all women do, but she doesn’t have much love for gold, anyway when she has money in the future she can still buy all kinds of gold jewelry, the price isn’t too expensive, it doesn’t compare to the rarity of jewels and jade, "What reason would you donate gold for? If we donate now, my dad will definitely be accused of hiding assets. Our family has struggled to live peaceful days, and I don’t want to bring a disaster to our family because of this gold donation."

"Anonymously, anonymous donation, without leaving any information about our family." Upon getting his wife’s approval, Lu Jiang was overjoyed, but he remained calm, the prerequisite of donation is to ensure the safety of the family.

"Isn’t that going to be easy? Current mail and items all have introduction letters."

Lu Jiang smiled slightly, "I’ll find a way."

As long as there is a heart, there will be a way.

"Alright, you do it, when you think of a good way, find time to dig out the gold." Feng Qingxue was dead tired, she spoke with a slur, "I have a bit of gold in my space, donate it all together when the time comes."

The voice became lower and lower, until it faded away into silence.

In the darkness, Lu Jiang didn’t know how radiant the smile on his face was.

Having a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for?

Compared to the matter of donating gold, he was more worried about the big blanket his wife talked about, so the next day after having breakfast, he handed Xibao over to his father-in-law, and urged his wife to go into the city with him.

"You guys go early and return early!" Father Lu waved one hand holding Xibao’s to them.

Xibao really liked Father Lu, lying in his arms and sucking on a pacifier.

"Got it!" Lu Jiang replied.

The accumulated snow made the road slippery, he pushed the bicycle with a bamboo basket hanging on it, and the two continued to walk.

"Wife, you have contact with the Zhao Family, how are they doing?"

"Ever since Mr. Zhao was sent down, Mrs. Zhao’s life at home has been difficult, being investigated from time to time, I dare not frequently visit their house, occasionally I would sell some food grains to them." Halfway down the road, seeing no one around, Feng Qingxue put supplies into the bamboo basket while telling her husband about the situation at the Zhao Family, "Tianqi is very well-behaved, Mrs. Zhao did a good job raising him along with Sister Guohong."
