Chapter 1389: Chapter 1389: Receiving Someone’s Favor 3
Lu Jiang arrived early and naturally had a deep understanding of the family situations of senior military officers, because many family circumstances reflected the interpersonal and kinship relationships of the officers, and this was even more true for those with higher ranks.
Having been in the military for over twenty years, he was no longer the naive young boy who only focused on training and fighting.
When his wife asked, Lu Jiang reflected for a moment before giving a detailed answer.
"Comrade Tang Jie comes from a privileged background, a true Scholar Gentry. She joined the army at a young age and achieved personal success before marrying Comrade Luo Zhonghua, which could be described as a match made in heaven. After the founding of the nation, Comrade Tang Jie engaged in work like historical research and artifact appraisal, apprenticed under Mr. Huang Qinghong, the same Mr. Huang Qinghong we know."
Feng Qingxue was surprised and blurted out, "What a coincidence?"
"No such thing as a coincidence that doesn’t make a story!" Lu Jiang said with a slight smile, "The cultural circle is just that big, all those sent down to our hometown are luminaries of culture and scholarship, whose influence spreads far and wide. Didn’t you meet Brother Lian Fengguo when you accompanied Luo Cheng to the hospital, and Mr. Huang Qingbai at the waste station?"
"That is true!" Feng Qingxue quickly understood, "I suddenly feel that our connections are quite extensive. I’ve also taken several masters, which is very exciting to think about. Before I met you, I couldn’t even dare to dream of such things."
Lu Jiang said with a smile, "It’s all thanks to you!"
Without Feng Qingxue saving Cui Hongbin, how would she have developed a relationship with Cui Shaoyuan? How would Cui Shaoyuan have arranged for those elders to be placed at Wanglou Brigade, giving the Lu Family and her the opportunity to make contact, or the chance for Feng Qingxue and the children to learn? If Feng Qingxue hadn’t saved He Hongjun, how would those elders from Shanghai have come to Wanglou Brigade?
The relationship with the Luo Family today, wasn’t it also due to Feng Qingxue’s life-saving grace?
Feng Qingxue waved her hand, "Let’s not talk about this, no need to repeat it."
"Then what do you want to talk about?" Lu Jiang was all ears.
Feng Qingxue thought for a bit, "Didn’t Tang Jie’s background and work bring her any influence? That doesn’t seem right, normally, one who walks through a bed of flowers would find it hard to come out without a single leaf sticking to them."
Lu Jiang said nonchalantly, "Someone protected her, Luo Cheng’s connections are not simple. When it comes to his own daughter-in-law, the retired old general pulled some strings, and who wouldn’t show some deference? Despite being a female comrade, Tang Jie has never engaged in particularly outrageous behavior, nor has she made any radical statements, not affecting the revolution, so those who caused trouble just let her off the hook by going with the flow."
That explained it!
Lu’s father’s background was poor, but since an old leader spoke out to protect him, no one harassed him. Feng Shuanzhu, a former poor farmer who hadn’t seen much of the world, became a political sacrifice in the eyes of some due to others’ treachery.
This showed that many things could be conclusively determined by one’s background, yet in many situations, the importance of one’s background was negligible.
After the Spring Festival, the Lu Family naturally grew closer to the Luo Family.
With no job to go to, Tang Jie would bring her daughter to the Lu Family’s house to help out with the children after finishing her household duties.
With her gentle nature, age, and experience looking after grandchildren, she was very patient with the children. Moreover, with her rich knowledge and empathy, she quickly became Lu Erxiong’s second favorite person, the first naturally being his stern mother.
For every child, the mother is the most important; they may be scolded one moment, but still cling to their mother the next.
The Lu Family could have lived smoothly with the wind at their backs, but someone couldn’t stand it and sent an anonymous letter to the Capital, claiming the Lu Family indulged in extravagant living, bypassing the army’s managing department.
