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

Chapter 76: Chapter 0076 Reciprocity 4_1 Chapter 76: Chapter 0076 Reciprocity 4_1 The clothes were finished on the morning of the formal acquaintance day.

Feng Qingxue tried them on immediately, They were slightly loose, considering she still had room to grow.

Feng Qingyun squatted on the side, her hands propping up her cheeks, “Sis, it’s so pretty!”

The person was charming, and so were the clothes.

This was the first time she saw such pretty clothes, and she couldn’t help but resolve to ask her sister to make her a similar set when she grew up.

The idea popped out of her mouth without a second thought.

Having felt Feng Qingxue’s meticulous care over time, Feng Qingyun, who had been sensitive and timid since childhood, finally learned to boldly voice her demands rather than treading on eggshells as before.

“Okay!” Feng Qingxue agreed instantly, reaching out to tousle her sister’s sparse, fair hair as she spoke.

Feng Qingyun was five this year. When she grew up, it would be the seventies, so this style of clothing would still be in fashion.

“Thank you, Sis!” Feng Qingyun’s eyes curved in a grin like a crescent moon.

Feng Qingxue took off the new clothes and folded them neatly. She randomly picked up two pieces of cake from the cabinet and gave them to her sister as snacks.

The cakes were actually made from eggs, flour, and sugar. They were baked into a brownish color, very soft and sweet. Feng Qingyun had loved them since her aunt first introduced her to them.

Feng Qingxue didn’t like them, so when her sister asked if she wanted some, she shook her head, “You eat it.”

The sun was glorious that day. Its warmth caressed one’s body. Feng Qingxue boiled a lot of hot water, mixed it with cold water, and brought it out to the yard. She undid her braids, gave them a quick comb, and carefully washed her hair. Then, she towel-dried it and let it dry in the sun.

Looking at her hair hanging down, Feng Qingxue sighed; time had been too short.

Her hair quality was dry and yellow, a clear symptom of malnutrition.

Although she cared greatly for her grooming after becoming Feng Qingxue, it was impossible to reach a healthy level in such a short time.

She’d have to double her efforts!

Feng Qingxue bounced back quickly. She was in no shortage of time at the moment.

Malnutrition was essentially a lack of qi and blood. She was secretly relieved that in addition to hoarding materials, she had prepared a lot of nourishment for her qi and blood. Now was a good time to put them to use.

When her hair was thoroughly dry, Feng Qingxue combed it hundreds of times, tied it loosely into a low ponytail, entrusted her sister to her aunt, and went out for a while. When she returned, she had brought gifts prepared for the Lu Family. Even though many people didn’t care about such formalities these days, she still abided by the proper etiquette. She never intended to visit the Lu Family empty-handed, just like when Lu Jiang came to pick her up, he didn’t come empty-handed.

When Lu Jiang visited, he brought a bag of candy, along with two cans of malt essence and two bottles of canned peaches. It was very thoughtful.

Feng Qingxue didn’t get along with her siblings-in-law, and there were no elders at home, so her uncle and aunt were asked to act on her behalf. They found Lu Jiang to be a fine gentleman, and his gifts very valuable. They were extremely satisfied and their attitude was very warm.

Most people were aware that soldiers have plentiful resources. Many fellow villagers from the Caohu village came over to ask for candy.

The men did not have the nerve to come, so the women and children did, their eyes fixed on the candy on the table.

Before leaving the army, Lu Jiang got a lot of sugar tickets from his comrades, so he bought quite a bit of candy, about three to four pounds. All were fruit candies, as the department store in the county town did not sell milk candies.

Feng Qingxue was never a stingy person. As people came, she gave them handfuls of candy.

With everyone having a share, not much candy was left on the table.

Seeing this, Feng Qingxue’s aunt was distressed. She quickly put the malt essence and canned peaches into the cabinet, then hurried Lu Jiang to take Feng Qingxue away. As an elder from the bride’s side, she gave Feng Qingxue some advice, only keeping Feng Qingyun at her home.
