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

Feng Qingxue rolled her eyes at her sister and turned to get ready for the meeting, ignoring her suggestion.

She had said it before, she didn't like messing with her hair. Long, straight, and black was just fine, right? If not for the times and work reasons, she would definitely let her hair down now.

Li Jiaoyang saw Feng Qingyun home and then took his leave. He just arrived in the Capital yesterday, with so many things to do. Staying one night was fine, but staying longer? Who would accompany his parents to meet the in-laws then?

So, Li Jiaoyang had already discussed it with Feng Qingyun on the way back.

Sending him off, Feng Qingyun rarely showed a hint of reluctance.

"So reluctant to part, huh? No worries, you'll see him the night after tomorrow," Feng Qingxue teased.

Feng Qingyun stomped her foot, "Sis!"

"Alright, I won't tease you. Come and see if my outfit is suitable or not."

Taking into account the work schedules of Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue, General Rong, Hu Lan, and Li Jiaoyang chose to visit in the evening of the appointed day.

It's a proposal, after all—the groom's side proposing to the bride's side, so naturally, they should be more courteous and proactive.

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue also arranged their work ahead of time, getting off work at five to go home. They had just changed into their prepared outfits when the guests arrived.

Lu Jiang, Feng Qingxue, and Feng Qingyun welcomed them at the door. Seeing Li Jiaoyang, the bodyguard, and the driver carrying bags and bags, Feng Qingxue couldn't help but say, "It's enough for you two to come, why bring so many things?"

Hu Lan, with her short, gray hair, held her hand warmly, "An official visit for a proposal, how could we come empty-handed? We've only brought a little bit with us, just some food items. After all, you're giving us such a talented and beautiful daughter you've raised for so many years as our daughter-in-law. We're getting the better deal."

"That's not how it should be said. Jiaoyang becoming my brother-in-law is a good deal for us too."

As they spoke, they entered the living room. Feng Qingxue invited them to sit, asking Feng Qingyun to pour them water while saying, "My sister lived abroad for a few years, which made her a bit wild. Fortunately, Jiaoyang tolerates her in every way. If she ever causes trouble for the in-laws in the future, feel free to discipline her as you see fit."

Feng Qingyun stuck out her tongue upon hearing this.

General Rong's wrinkles relaxed at the corners of his eyes, smiling, "The child is wonderful. She has enough sense not to cause trouble for us. Having been abroad, she's seen a lot. She will have to guide Jiaoyang, and they will progress together."

"That's the way it should be. Revolutionary comrades mutually accommodate each other, progress together, and never abandon each other for a lifetime," Lu Jiang spoke. "What we hope for is that the children have a peaceful and smooth life with a happy marriage. Everything else is secondary."

General Rong clapped in agreement, "Exactly, this is the best blessing we can give them." This text is hosted at noⅴelfire.net

Hu Lan continued, "Come, let's discuss their wedding date and the betrothal gift. We've prepared the betrothal gift long ago. It's not much, just a token of our parental affection."

"These are all secondary. The most important thing is to get their marriage application approved quickly and set the wedding date," Feng Qingxue said. While the Rong family's attitude was good, she was a bit worried that the marriage application wouldn't go through before Li Jiaoyang's leave ended.

"No need to worry about that," General Rong immediately replied, "I've spoken to Commissioner Liu about speeding up the review process. We can't let the kids' wedding be delayed."

If he couldn't even resolve a small matter like that, he'd be letting the kids down.

... This is Chapter Ten. Today we're going to my husband's family's to deliver New Year gifts, just a hundred more words, then it's time to eat. Anyway, while votes are appreciated, whether you vote or not is entirely up to you, and I don't expect anything. Those who've been following along know I've never asked for rewards or anything, and I seldom ask for votes, even feeling a bit apologetic when there are few updates.
