Chapter 571: Chapter 0571 Mediation and Pulling Silk 1_1

After passing on Fang Ning’s words to Qiao Desheng, Feng Qingxue went to ask Yang Fengying about any expectations she had for her revolutionary comrade.

The bachelor soldiers under Lu Jiang’s command were all eager for good news, but her hands were tied, where could she find women in the military to introduce as their wives? The only female soldiers available were from the performance troupe.

Therefore, upon finding out Yang Fengying was interested in a partner, Feng Qingxue didn’t want to miss this opportunity, there was a chance she might help create a marriage match.

"Expectations?" After finishing her practice, Yang Fengying thought for a moment, and answered candidly: "As a member of the performing arts troupe, I love the stage, I love opera, I can’t stay in one place for too long. Just like coming here from the Capital, soldiers all over the country need our performances to lighten their mental pressures, so I can’t be a good wife."

If she must find a partner to escape the army’s arrangements, she wants someone who won’t interfere in her life. This person could be a soldier, or a third-tier worker. A long-distance relationship could offer the other party the most freedom.

For her, the life of frequent separation and brief reunions was not a form of pain.

Yang Fengying’s only requirement for her future other half, based on being an upright and good-looking person, was to have no parents, or elders. This way, the elders’ authority can’t be used to interfere with the couple’s life. She had seen many women who didn’t get along with their mother-in-law, which heavily affected their revolutionary relationships.

As for children, it was up to fate.

If she gets pregnant after marriage she would naturally have the child. Her parents lived in the Capital and her mother had retired. As their only daughter, they could help look after the child, so she and her other half could continue to serve their country.

Feng Qingxue smiled after hearing Fang Ning’s words and said: "As for the situation on the third-tier workers, I’m not too familiar with, I haven’t had much contact, but from what I hear they’re like most soldiers, living apart from their families for long periods, their meager wages are almost all spent on trains. Soldiers, I know quite a few, many are single, and many have no parents, their inability to go home due to being stationed on the border has affected their marriages. Yang, leads me onto any specific type you are leaning towards, feel free to tell me."

Feng Qingxue’s mother is named Wang Fengying, so it’s not appropriate for her to address Yang Fengying by her name. Feng Ying would sound like she’s calling her deceased mother, so she simply calls her Sister Yang, as Yang Fengying is indeed a few years older than her.

As Feng Qingxue spoke, she told Yang Fengying about the characteristics of the soldiers she knew.

There were many types of soldiers in the army.

Personality-wise, there were those who were mature and steady, courteous, bold and unrestrained, lively and clever...they had everything.

As for physique, there weren’t any who were fat, some were thin, tall, short, any type could be found.

Yang Fengying blinked at Feng Qingxue’s words and after serious thought, she solemnly replied: "I’m a quite tranquil person myself. Besides singing and studying, I don’t dare to have other hobbies. Those who are bold and lively aren’t what I’m looking for. Please introduce me to someone older and more stable in temperament. As for height, as long as he’s not smaller than me, it’s fine."

As for the wages, benefits, and appearance, Yang Fengying had no requirements for the former, and for the latter, as she said before, being neat and tidy was fine. Being too ugly would affect the mood and it would be hard to be together for a lifetime.
