Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 81 - 00: Choosing a Homestead 1_1

With that, Lu Jiang took the jade bracelet and slid it onto Feng Qingxue’s wrist, which she readily accepted.

She was certain that by marrying Lu Jiang, she would not feel unworthy.

Honesty is exchanged with honesty; her openness returned by that of the Lu family.

If they didn’t trust her fully, would the Lu family dare to offer her such a valuable item, risking it being reported and plunging them back into jeopardy?

Seeing Feng Qingxue accept the betrothal gifts, Father Lu’s eyes seemed to be squinting from joy.

The last hurdle was the political review, but Father Lu was not too worried about it. No other reason, but that Feng Qingxue had a good background.

Those who have clear and acceptable backgrounds can’t fail the political review. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

Feng Qingxue has a strong personality, raising her little sister alone, and getting married is a great advantage in the review, rightly aligned with the propaganda of "women holding up half the sky".

"I had a discussion with your uncle, once your marriage is fixed, he will authorize a plot for you to build a house," Father Lu suddenly remembered this and asked Lu Jiang to show Feng Qingxue around. "The future house is for you both. You decide where it would be best to put a house. While Ajiang is at home, we must buy the bricks and start building the house in spring."

On hearing this, Feng Qingxue immediately asked: "I’m not familiar with this place, where to build a house, I will trust your judgment, Uncle Lu."

Despite the cowshed not being a dilapidated shack as imagined, but a series of brick and wood structures with tiled roofs, way better than the thatched huts most common people lived in, Feng Qingxue had no intention of living in the cowshed after getting married, just the smell alone from animals and their waste was too much for her to tolerate.

Father Lu laughed: "Of course, where you live will be up to you two."

"Can’t we live together as a family?" Feng Qingxue said, frowning slightly.

"The situation is obvious. I live here with Tianjun and Tianzhi, along with the animals, and no one gossips. Who doesn’t want to live in a proper house? But this is the situation, beyond human control."

Feng Qingxue was silenced.

It was not something she could solve.

Lu Jiang hurriedly broke the silence, "Qingxue, let’s go and pick a place."

The lives of the Wanglou Brigade’s residents were indeed better than those of the Caohu Brigade. Just by looking at each household’s dwelling and everyone’s spirits, you could tell. This was the Lu family’s heartland, prior to liberation. Ninety percent of the land belonged to them, possessing both mountain and paddy fields, the soil is incredibly fertile, unlike Caohu brigade’s land which is barren, and the crop yield has always been low.

Unlike Father Lu, Lu Jiang was quite popular. When he happened to encounter a few villagers, they would always greet Lu Jiang first and then compliment Feng Qingxue, saying they looked like a great match.

Indeed, they were a perfect match; everyone who saw them agreed.

The man’s tall, the woman’s not short, the man’s handsome, the woman’s pretty, just like the saying - the match made in heaven.

Lu Jiang just showed Feng Qingxue around the west side of the Wanglou Brigade, which is the east of the cowshed, mainly because the area is quite open and has room to choose. Further east is where commoners live, with a few homesteads scattered here and there, but not very large. It wouldn’t be appropriate for them to live in a densely populated area.

"Let’s build a house here." Feng Qingxue pointed to a piece of land east of the cowshed.
