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

Lu Jiang touched her head, "Wife, I’m not going to hold you accountable for risking your safety in the black market before, just keep the promise you made to me and don’t take unnecessary risks from now on. However, I’ve suddenly realized that you have some rather wild ideas."

"I’m telling the truth, how is that wild thinking?" Feng Qingxue stuck out a playful, exaggerated cheeky face at him.

"After a century of war and devastation, our country faces the great task of rebuilding from ruins. Since the founding of the nation, with concerted efforts from all, we’ve successfully developed atomic and hydrogen bombs, strengthening our military equipment. The economy is just starting to show signs of improvement, and now we face another turbulent storm. In the blink of an eye, talents from all industries have withered away, students’ education has been interrupted, leaving us without a succession plan. This movement seems set to continue, affecting national development, so when will we be able to expect the appreciation of jewels and antiques? For that to happen, we’d need a peaceful and prosperous era, a wealthy nation with strong citizens and a booming economy, where the wealthy are inclined to pursue collecting."

Feng Qingxue nodded, "You’re not wrong, that’s exactly what I’m waiting for."

Lu Jiang laughed, "But at the current level, under the monumental campaign, all industries are paralyzed, the economy is shrinking, and it would take at least a hundred and eighty years to reach the level you and I are talking about."

"Ajiang, how about we make a bet?"

"What’s the bet?"

"Ten years from now, the economy will have taken off, followed by sustained development, thirty years later the nation will be wealthy and the people strong, and in just over a decade, no one will bother us about our clothing and dress, or label us as capitalists." Feng Qingxue spoke emphatically.
