Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

Wang Jiao slapped her thigh, "Old Zhang isn't a cadre, hiring two maids to do housework doesn't make him a capitalist? Capitalists are to be overthrown, that would be a crime. I'll have to talk to Old Zhang later; Lu Jiang has become a major cadre, he's been butcher and seller for ten years, even if there's no merit, there's hard work, how come he hasn't been promoted at all."

Feng Qingxue couldn't help but smile, "Listening to Cousin Sister say that, it's really necessary to urge Cousin Brother-in-law."

Just as they were talking, someone shouted from outside, "Is Comrade Feng Qingxue home? There's a package slip for you!"

Feng Qingxue quickly washed her hands and went out, looking at the unfamiliar postman and taking the slips he handed over, "I remember some packages used to be delivered directly to the door."

The postman rubbed his head and chuckled, "There are packages delivered to the door, very few though, but most are package slips, you have to take the introduction letter to the post office to pick it up. Comrade, you have too many packages, several, big and heavy, my bicycle can't carry so many things, you'll have to pick them up yourself."

The tractor was busy grinding flour, and the dipped dough from a few days ago had been taken out to dry, so Feng Qingxue couldn't borrow it, even if she paid for the fuel. So she borrowed a mule cart from the brigade and set off early the next morning for the county town.

Lu Tianzhi and Guan Yu needed to work, while Fubao, Ye Yan, and the triplets went to school, so Xibao accompanied her to town.

With the introduction letter as proof and package slips, mother and child quickly picked up college entrance exam materials sent from Shanghai, but Feng Qingxue found another package sent from Kunlun while flipping through the slips, so she picked it up as well.

With the staff's help, the books were loaded into the cart, and Feng Qingxue broke out into a sweat.

"Mom, who's this from? It's heavy." Xibao shook the not-so-big package from the northwest.

Feng Qingxue told her son to sit tight, whipped the mule forward, and left the post office entrance, "I don't know either."

The name of the sender was very unfamiliar, named He Baosheng, but it was sent from the Kunlun Military Region, indeed sent to her, Feng Qingxue thought it might have some connection with her, but what kind was unclear.

Xibao, who knew his parents had broad connections, exclaimed, "Let me see what's inside."

"Go ahead and open it." Since there are no prohibited items now.

Once opened, Xibao was stunned, "It's stones, Mom, they're well-packaged."

Feng Qingxue turned her head to look and saw it was a package of Hetian Jade seed materials, large and small, the biggest piece was larger than two fists, the smallest barely like a thumb. Some had skin, some didn't, those with skin had autumn pear skin, sprinkle gold skin, date red skin, etc. At first glance, those without skin had an exquisite texture, excellent whiteness, and superior oiliness.

"They're top-grade Hetian Jade seed materials, Mom, you really don't recognize who's sending them? If it's not someone who knows you well, how could they know you like these things?"

Feng Qingxue shook her head, "I really don't know. Let's go back to the post office and call your dad, let him inquire."

Back then, phone calls were very expensive, and transferring calls was very troublesome.

Wanglou Brigade could afford a phone, but everyone complained about the cost; the installation fee was pricey, the call charges were high, so they thought it was better to buy other things for the brigade. As a result, Wanglou Brigade now had electricity, a tractor, several machines, but no phone; after all, telegrams were cheaper and convenient.

Noticing the number Feng Qingxue dialed was a military internal line, the staff watching over the phone looked at her with more respect and stepped far away, giving her private space to talk.
