Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife
Chapter 1427: Primary Task 3

Chapter 1427: Chapter 1427: Primary Task 3

Lu Jiang only took three days off, and after settling his wife and child, he had to hurriedly leave.

The next day was August 29th. Feng Qingxue got up early to cook, had a quick bite, and rushed to the school. It was only during the registration that she discovered that the majority of the students in the Foreign Languages Department were military members, mostly around twenty years old, dressed in naval, army, or air force uniforms. Both men and women were spirited and vigorous. Just by observing their posture and gait, one could tell they were distinct from workers and peasants’ children.

In other words, there was an age restriction for worker, peasant, and soldier students, which was around twenty years old.

Although Feng Qingxue was quite a bit older than them, and deliberately toned down her clothes and makeup by a notch, she still looked young and no one could tell she was actually twenty-eight.

Moreover, she had special approval from the old leader, so the staff responsible for registration were extremely enthusiastic.

"Comrade Feng Qingxue, here are your school badge and student ID." The other person handed them to Feng Qingxue with both hands. The student ID displayed Feng Qingxue’s black-and-white ID photo she had prepared earlier, and was stamped with an official seal.

Feng Qingxue looked at them and said, "Thank you, comrade."

Ping Zhengkai immediately spotted Feng Qingxue and quickly rushed over, saluting, "Sister-in-law, you’re also attending school?"

All the soldiers with him, who were from Viva Army, said in unison, "Hello, sister-in-law!"

"Hello everyone, hello!" Feng Qingxue’s eyes flashed with surprise, "Aren’t you going to register? Why are you all here?"

Ping Zhengkai smiled and said, "Not all of us are here; other departments also have our comrades. However, most of us belong to the Foreign Languages Department, particularly the Western Languages Department. Sister-in-law, you’re here to register for Western Languages Department too? Which language are you studying?"

Feng Qingxue answered, "The French Department."

Indeed, she was in the French Department of the Western Languages Department, but what she really wanted was to study medicine.

Yes, foreign languages are important, as they facilitate future research on medical texts in foreign languages, but her goal was to practice medicine, for which she needed a diploma from a medical university.

Capital University’s Medical School had become independent as Capital Medical College quite some time ago and no longer belonged to Capital University. Feng Qingxue had not delved deeply into its history; she merely wanted any diploma, and joining any department was a pleasant surprise to her.

Upon hearing Feng Qingxue’s reply, Ping Zhengkai immediately pushed a young soldier forward.

"Sister-in-law, this is Nie Jianguo, he’s also from the French Department. If you need anything, give him a shout, and we’ll be at your service," said Ping Zhengkai. "Sister-in-law, you can count on us to look after you while you’re here."

"Right, sister-in-law, just let us know if you need anything."

"Sister-in-law, if anyone dares to bully you, just watch how we’ll deal with them!"

"There are several of us from the military in the French Department, though they aren’t around right now. You’ll meet them later."

"Sister-in-law, why didn’t comrade Lu Jiang accompany you to school?"

In reality, they wanted to know how Feng Qingxue got the spot to study at the school. They were distinctly aware of the number of available spots their military unit received, and Feng Qingxue’s name was not on that list, so they were curious about her sudden appearance.

Many soldiers are forthright and don’t beat around the bush, but they also knew that asking directly might be somewhat inappropriate.

Feng Qingxue looked at them, smiled slightly and said, "Comrade Lu Jiang did not offer me a spot to study, so he felt embarrassed to send me off and hurried back to the unit. My spot was specially approved by the old leader. He wanted me to study diligently and make progress every day, learn a foreign language to facilitate future medical research. Many Western medical texts are in foreign languages."
