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

"Yes, you're right. When you bring Dad and the kids back, also bring Uncle to stay for a while." Lu Jiang was most grateful for Wang Zhenguo's matchmaking efforts back then. Without him, how would he have met, known, and stayed with his wife?

Feng Qingxue's face suddenly fell.

"Dad won't come back, Xibao has to stay in the old home to continue studying, and it's even more impossible for Uncle to come back to the Capital with us."

Xibao leaned on her shoulder, shouting into the microphone, "Dad, don't listen to Mom making it sound so pitiful. It's not like I'm not going back to the Capital, just going back a bit later. Grandpa says it'll only be one or two years."

Father Lu, when looking at the situation, always made incredibly accurate predictions.

When Lu Jiang heard his eldest son's voice, he quickly asked his wife to give him the phone.

Even though the father and son frequently wrote letters to each other these past two years to maintain their relationship, their bond hadn't grown cold or distant despite the distance. But with the phone, they could hear each other's real voices and feel each other's true emotions.

Lu Jiang also greatly respected his eldest son's decision. This son had never given him any trouble since he was little, practically the most perfect son in the world. "Since you want to stay in the old home, take good care of your grandpa. Let your mom leave more money for you, and if you need anything, write to me, send a telegram, or call. Also, tell your mom to come back soon."

Xibao, hearing this, displayed a mischievous grin on his handsome face and said, "Dad, what you really wanted to say was the last part, right? Okay, I'll definitely urge Mom to bring my brother and sister back to the Capital soon to be with you!"

"You rascal, making fun of your dad, are you?"

"Don't you want Mom to come back soon?" Xibao retorted.

Lu Jiang's throat moved, leaving him speechless.

"Alright, alright, tell your mom to come back soon. Someone's knocking on the door, I'll hang up now." Lu Jiang was never one to dawdle with business, even if it was rare to have a call with his wife and kids.

Xibao hung up the phone, looked at Feng Qingxue paying the phone bill, and teasingly said, "Mom, did you hear that? Dad misses you."

Feng Qingxue's response was to tap his head and pull him out the door.

When the grandson said that his son urged the daughter-in-law to return to the Capital over the phone, Father Lu deeply agreed. With the son alone outside, he was also very worried. Life is completely different with your wife and children around compared to when they are not.

"Since Ajiang misses you and the kids, you should set off early. Everything at home is fine, no need for you to worry."

Feng Qingxue was straightforward by nature. After thinking it over, she said, "Okay, Dad, we'll buy tickets to Shanghai for tomorrow. Keep five copies of these materials at home, donate two copies to the school, then ask Uncle and Aunt's family if they want them. If they do, give them one copy each. The rest, check with the students from the prep class. Whoever wants them, first come, first serve, until they're gone. After all, there aren't more available."

Because it wasn't buying and selling at a profit, she even paid the postage out of her own pocket, so selling the materials was said with justification.

It's quite a sum of money, and even for her, giving it out for free would be disheartening.

Xibao laughed, "I'll go give a heads up to the prep class."

He's well-liked and often attends lessons at the prep class. That day, he brought back a crowd of students waving big bills, eager to buy materials from Feng Qingxue, afraid of being one step behind.

Although knowledge isn't highly valued now, in Wanglou Brigade's perception, all trades are inferior, only learning is superior.

In Wanglou Brigade, there were few educated youths who lived well and didn't want to return to the city, mostly female educated youths. The number of those wanting to return was quite high, with some even nearing thirty and still unmarried just to return to the city. Without a quota to return, they could only rely on studying, pinning their hopes on the national exams Feng Qingxue mentioned the country might open, naturally wanting a complete set of exam materials.
