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

Although gender equality has now been achieved, striving to break the shackles of feudal detritus, many places still retain the tradition of men at the table when there are guests and women not. This tradition, however, was not maintained in the Lu Family.

After helping Feng Qingxue finish her duties in receiving guests like Chen Ming, Xu Aiguo and others, Father Lu and his guests sat down to dine.

Feng Qingxue first helped herself and Lu Tianzhi with their plates, before beginning to eat as she quietly listened to their chat.

At first, they were discussing ordinary family matters. But after the two children with smaller appetites finished eating, Father Lu sent Lu Tianzhi and Feng Qingyun out to play. Then they began to discuss various situations in the city, took out the newspapers that Chen Ming and Xu Aiguo had brought for Father Lu, of which he had already read. They asked Father Lu to make predictions about the attitude of the state and future policies based on these sources. His assessments were often strikingly astute.

Feng Qingxue noticed that Father Lu’s predictions about the evolution of the nation were incredibly accurate.

How could she describe the feeling? It’s as if there was a sage, a Zhuge Liang, in their house, whose predictions were always inspired.

Sometimes, Father Lu could accurately predict what was about to happen. Without the information Feng Qingxue had read about that era, she wouldn’t have been able to perceive it.
