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

With his worries gone, Lu Jiang himself was more exuberant than ever.

As he picked up his chopsticks, Zhao Yong noticed the watch on his wrist and exclaimed, "Got a new watch? This one ain’t cheap. When did you buy it? I’ve never seen you wearing it before."

Looking at the watch on his hand, Lu Jiang smiled ear to ear, his face was full of tenderness, he proudly said, "My girlfriend gave it to me."

Guo Xiuying looked over, recognized the brand of the watch, and recalled the price. She said, "Oh? So, your girlfriend comes from a well-off family? But I heard from your brother Yong that according to the report you submitted, your girlfriend seemed to be the daughter of a poor farmer. It seemed that her parents had died and she is now taking care of her younger sister."

Under such circumstances, life should be pretty tough. Where did the money to buy the watch come from? Especially such an expensive import.

Lu Jiang snapped back to reality and quickly elaborated, "What the report said was true, the money for the watch was probably from the gift my father gave when they met."

This was the explanation he and Feng Qingxue had agreed upon to tell others.

Lu Jiang didn’t want people thinking that Feng Qingxue was dependent on him, so he added, "But, my girlfriend is very intelligent and capable. She and her sister are managing well on their own. Currently, because of the care shown by my comrades, they were often able to get some scarce supplies. Although I left her some money and tickets before I left, there are many materials that can’t be bought even if you have money and tickets."

"That’s true. We know it best, given the severe shortage of supplies now, your girlfriend must be really resourceful." Anyone capable of procuring resources wouldn’t lack money and their life wouldn’t be too difficult.

Upon hearing Zhao Yong’s words, Lu Jiang gave a slight smile.
