Chapter 1624: The Aunt and Nephew Meet for the First Time 4
It’s not just about changing names; someone also suggested to Lu Jiang that Feng Qingxue should cut her hair.
They believed that long hair was a burden, representing old thoughts and old culture, and that short hair was more efficient and light, making training and work convenient. Many female soldiers had their hair forcibly cut when they enlisted, and even if they kept their hair, it was only long enough to braid two braids about half a foot each.
Lu Jiang couldn’t be bothered to care. With his abilities, he could still protect his wife’s name and hair.
Feng Qingxue also knew about these two matters and almost laughed at the absurdity. They were really too controlling; skirts couldn’t be worn, nor could hair be long. A decade or two ago, people could still wear cheongsams and blouses, yet now they could only wear long pants and long sleeves, not even short sleeves or shorts.
"I don’t even know how Uncle came up with these names. Thunder, rain, snow, and clouds are all weather-related. But according to the generations, ours seem to belong to the ’Qing’ generation. If there’s blame to place, it’s on the Feng Family’s ancestor for not making the hierarchy sound noble, serious, or cultured enough."
Many girls only had nicknames and weren’t named according to generational hierarchy, like Hongling.
Feng Qingxue herself didn’t care how the Feng Family hierarchy was arranged, and Lu Jiang naturally wouldn’t continue asking, "Let’s not talk about it, let’s not mention it anymore. It’s pointless. But what about your nephew, do you plan to meet him?"
"No!" Feng Qingxue replied resolutely, "I have nothing to do with him, so why meet? Xiaoyun and I will probably never forget what those two pairs of siblings did. Since he’s joined the military and is an outstanding new recruit, it shows he’s quite capable. Let him continue to rely on himself; we won’t intervene, obstruct, or support, just let things take their course."
Sometimes words shouldn’t be so absolute. As the couple strolled around the camp preparing to leave, they unexpectedly ran into a new recruits’ platoon doing a loaded march, with Feng Qinghe leading it.
