Chapter 1959 - 1959: Meeting the In-Laws 3
Commander Rong and Hu Lan listened and hurriedly asked what was going on.
Li Jiaoyang and Feng Qingyun originally had no intention of hiding it. Feng Qingxue thought it would be better for Li Jiaoyang and Feng Qingyun to inform the old couple of the Rong Family in advance rather than let them hear it from someone else, to avoid any trouble and to prevent the old couple from having opinions about Feng Qingyun.
After all, Feng Qingyun had made Li Jiaoyang wait for several years in order to go abroad, and now he was an aging unmarried young man.
Listening to Li Jiaoyang narrate yesterday's events, Hu Lan angrily said, "That Li Yunhai, he's too nosy! What era are we in, that he's still controlling how people dress? This summer in the Capital, where aren't there women wearing skirts? Besides, Yunyun hasn't even returned to the group yet! Skirts shouldn't be an issue, as if she never wore a cheongsam when she was young. Yunyun, we fear nothing, didn't someone say you got a perm? Tomorrow, I'm going to Four Union to get my hair permed too, and become a fashionable old lady, let's see who dares to criticize."
Commander Rong glanced at her graying hair, "At your age, you still want to be fashionable, better let Ayuan take his wife to get a perm, you should skip it."
Hu Lan retorted, "You old man, so what if we're older? I haven't had the mood to dress up for decades, now that there's a happy event at home, I'm in the mood."
"Aunt Hu, beauty knows no age. Curled white hair looks very elegant and tasteful." Abroad, many people have white and blonde hair.

Hu Lan smiled broadly, "You're right, I'll be a fashionable and graceful old lady and not embarrass you youngsters. When you go back tonight, tell your sister and brother-in-law, let's arrange a time for our families to meet and have a meal, then I'll invite your sister to get our hair done together."
Feng Qingyun was raised by her sister, without parents, having siblings was akin to having none, so her marriage naturally had to be discussed with Commander Rong's family and Lu Jiang's family.
"Then you can talk to my sister when the time comes, I'm not daring enough to make decisions for her." Feng Qingyun knew her sister well, she preferred long straight hair, unchanged for over a decade, however, because she often braided it, when loosened it's curly, almost like having a perm.
Speaking of Feng Qingxue, Hu Lan couldn't stop praising, "Your sister also loves beauty. I've known her for so many years, and every time I see her, she's so neat and proper, much better dressed than others, no wonder she's started the trend of white shirts and green skirts."
Feng Qingyun laughed happily, she liked it when people praised her sister, and what touched her more was that her rather unconventional fashion styles seemed to not matter to the Rong couple.
Hu Lan indeed held no prejudice, now it's just about picking up things that were popular ten or twenty years ago, she could accept swimwear, let alone a fitted red skirt.
Moreover, there's an important point, which is that this style of dressing symbolizes her political stance, a protest against the repression of those ten years.
This shows the extent of one's perspective. Commander Li only saw Feng Qingyun as loud and indecent in every way, while Commissioner Liu and the Rong couple saw the changes of the times and political standpoints, supporting Feng Qingyun's choice of dress.
When Feng Qingxue heard her sister's recount, she couldn't help but praise, "Xiaoyun, you're very lucky, having met Jiaoyang who is willing to accept you, and a mother-in-law like Comrade Hu Lan who is so open-minded."
Feng Qingyun giggled and said, "So tomorrow when our families meet, are you and Aunt Hu going to get your hair permed together?"
