Chapter 1340: Chapter 1340: Love at First Sight 5

Feng Qingyun had a good temperament, was young, sweet-tongued, and didn’t provoke trouble, gaining an excellent reputation.

Perhaps it was because he had suffered in the past, and due to the strict management of lifestyle now, Commander Bai had become even more unsympathetic, but paradoxically, the atmosphere in the cultural troupe had improved tenfold compared to before.

Of course, this ’unsympathetic’ was in reference to those who sought to ride on coattails and take shortcuts.

For those literary soldiers who had good characters and trained earnestly, they were very grateful that Commander Bai protected them from external threats and temptations.

After Feng Qingyun finished speaking, she leaned close to her sister’s ear and whispered, "There are quite a few female soldiers in the troupe who have arrived in the past year or so, most of them are children of high-ranking officials, who did not want to go to the countryside, so they got into the military through connections. The male comrades are better; most of them are soldiers who participate in training from the ground up, while most of the female soldiers are medics and cultural troupe members."

"Have they bullied you?" Compared to their family backgrounds, Lu Jiang was nothing special.

"No!" Feng Qingyun answered crisply. Seeing her sister’s doubtful gaze, she pursed her lips into a smile and whispered, "Not everyone is arrogant and overbearing. There are many good people, and no one has bullied me. Sister, I’ve made a good friend named Zhong Wenxiu. She’s very gentle, kind, and virtuous, and can play music, chess, write, and paint. She gives me the same vibe as you, sister, except her background isn’t very good."

At this point, Feng Qingyun’s voice became even softer, "Sister, I can be friends with her, right? Even though she’s the granddaughter of a capitalist, she’s a very good person, and I like her more than some of those with impeccable revolutionary lineage."

"Of course, we judge friends by their character, not by their background."

Feng Qingyun immediately smiled, "That’s good. The others don’t want to play with her, saying she’s this bad, that bad, as if her grandparents had defected out of the country, but I think she’s very nice. My eyes are still quite clear at distinguishing right from wrong."

While the sisters were talking, Feng Qingxue heard Jiang Yun mention the marriage of Lu Tianjun and Jiang Xiaoyue and quickly left her sister, saying, "We live in Baozhou, which is very close to the Capital. When the date is set, don’t forget to notify us old comrades in advance. If Ajiang doesn’t have time, I will definitely come." And she’d need to prepare the betrothal gifts beforehand.

Although she had given the Dragon and Phoenix Bracelet that Lu Tianjun’s birth mother had worn to Jiang Xiaoyue at their first meeting, there was still a collection of gold and silver in her space left by Lu Tianjun’s parents for their sons, and she should select some as betrothal gifts to show her seriousness.

Lu Jiang added, "I should send a telegram home in advance. Dad should come for a visit."

Lu Tianjun had lived with his younger brother and father since childhood. The wedding of the eldest grandson of the Lu Family, though held in the army, and even though many relatives of the newlyweds would not be present, it would be inappropriate for Father Lu not to attend.

Jiang Yun was deeply moved and said, "Is it necessary to trouble the elderly at home? There are no old customs anymore."

"Old comrade, don’t think my dad doesn’t want to see his granddaughter-in-law!" Feng Qingxue said playfully, "After all, Tianjun hasn’t returned home since he joined the army, and Xiaoyue hasn’t visited our hometown to meet the locals. It’s fine if they don’t have time; as long as my dad does, he should definitely drink a cup of tea from his granddaughter-in-law at the wedding, right?"

Jiang Yun slapped his forehead, "How careless of me, how careless, the two kids haven’t met Old Comrade Lu yet!"

Lu Jiang hastily said, "Don’t say that. Tianjun and Xiaoyue have important responsibilities. The situation was unstable outside in the last two years, and our family’s background isn’t great, so we asked him not to come home—it’s not because of you and Xiaoyue."

Jiang Yun thought for a moment and said, "When I get back, I’ll see if they can get leave. If they can, they should visit our hometown."
