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

Her appearance was plain, but her figure in a swimsuit was quite impressive—curvaceous and well-proportioned, with fair skin.

This was an era full of contradictions, where conservatism reached an extreme. The rejection of beauty achieved unprecedented heights: women were not allowed to wear dresses, nor to shape their eyebrows or apply lipstick. Some even had to wear long-sleeved tops and pants during the height of summer. Dark colors like black, blue, green, and gray dominated, yet swimming seemed to be an exception.

Of course, even though this was driven by influence from above, very few female comrades had the courage to wear swimsuits and show off their figures by the pool. Just look at Liu Ran, whose gaze barely touched Su Meixiang—he didn’t even dare to glance at her directly.

Noticing Liu Ran’s discomfort in the face of Su Meixiang’s overly enthusiastic behavior, Feng Qingxue tilted her head slightly, raised her hand to check her watch, and then smiled at Su Meixiang, saying, "Comrade Su Meixiang, I’ve also heard Comrade Su Junlin mention your siblings. There’s plenty of time to talk more in the future. Xiaoliu and I must go now—the kids are still waiting at home, and I only came out briefly."

"Alright then, Comrade Feng Qingxue. Goodbye," Su Meixiang said, stepping back.

After Feng Qingxue and Liu Ran left, the women with children, both in and outside the pool, instinctively surrounded Su Meixiang and began chattering away: "Meixiang, who was that just now? Could she be the family member of Commander Lu? It looked like Liu Ran was following her."

"Yes, I heard that Commander Lu’s revolutionary comrade is supposed to be very handsome."

"The female comrade we just saw wasn’t just normally beautiful—she was stunning, fair-skinned, and looked so young. She doesn’t even seem thirty."
