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

Originally, when preparing the dowry for Feng Qingyun, it was all spent using her own money.

Soon after returning, Feng Qingyun learned that her sister was out of money; the household income and expense bills were still posted on the doors of the children's rooms, making her realize how tough her sister really had it. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoveI-Fire.ɴet

Fortunately, Feng Qingyun wasn't short on money and spent it without any restraint.

When Fubao received a piano, and the boys received sports equipment, Feng Qingxue also received fifty thousand Hong Kong Dollars that her sister wired from Hong Kong, exchanged for over fifty thousand RMB.

No wonder Feng Qingyun wanted to develop abroad, it seems she really earned quite a bit over the past two years.

Although money isn't everything, lacking it is absolutely not an option; since ancient times, it's been said that poverty-stricken couples face myriad woes, a timeless truth.

Money can indeed corrupt one's heart; while recording household income and expenses, Feng Qingxue almost considered abandoning medicine for commerce after the reform and opening-up. Now, even engaging in collection has an investment aspect, showing the allure of money.

However, by the time Feng Qingxue received the remittance, most of the dowry was already prepared.

The public dowry included six quilts, ten sets of clothing and shoes for all four seasons, an air conditioner, a washing machine, a full set of new-style furniture, and two thousand RMB as pocket money. Privately, there was a pair of united pearl vases from the Qianlong Era, a jade Ruyi given to Feng Qingxue by her father, two famous paintings, and a box of jewelry, including jade, gold, Hetian jade, diamonds, and other gems. A box was also filled with jewelry that Feng Qingyun had bought or received over the years.

Feng Qingyun studied vocal music, so musical instruments were essential. She bought many from abroad and brought them back, including a piano, a violin, an accordion, a seven-stringed instrument, a guzheng, as well as sheng, xiao, flutes, and some Western instruments that even Feng Qingxue couldn't name. There were both new and old ones, but the old ones were maintained to be as good as new.

Additionally, household items like pillows, pillowcases, towels, basins, enamel tanks, and thermos flasks were partly bought by them and partly gifted by family and friends. A wide array of items that dazzled the eyes.

And why wouldn't they be dazzling? The dowry, along with the betrothal gifts, was transported to the groom's family in four military trucks.

The four trucks lined up, the spectacle was grand.

Commander Rong and Hu Lan set aside an entire floor of the second floor in their villa for the newlyweds' new room, barely fitting all of Feng Qingyun's dowry, naturally becoming the talk of the town.

Even in a time of development, such scenes were hard to replicate, one could say it was unprecedented since the founding of the nation.

The new room was at the Rong family, so the wedding was naturally held on the mountain.

Feng Qingxue had previously mentioned that holding the wedding in the auditorium of the military compound would be prestigious, but considering the groom's residence and various circumstances, it was finally changed to the auditorium of the Jade Spring Mountain sanatorium, which was still quite prestigious.

Commander Rong specially invited his old leader, Comrade Luo Cheng, to officiate the wedding for Li Jiaoyang and Feng Qingyun.

At this time, it wasn't popular to hold grand weddings. Many young couples would just register their marriage and have a meal with family and friends. The Rong family and Lu family invited some close friends and relatives from the capital. Including the old leaders who added to the excitement at the sanatorium, there were a total of four tables in the dining hall. One table was filled with the Lu family, Chen Xueniang and her husband, and Granny Ye.

Indeed, Hu Lan got her hair permed, styling it into small white curls, wore glasses, and dressed in a neatly elegant new outfit, looking particularly intellectual and graceful, the most fashionable elderly lady present.
