Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 1764 Untitled Untitled 1

Upon hearing Xiaomiao’s words, Feng Qingxue wanted to scratch her face.

Every time the phone rang from the capital, there was always something, either big news or an assignment for Lu Jiang.

The cost of a phone call was high, so unless it was important, very few people were willing to make a call, with the exception of conversations between her and her husband.

Noticing his wife’s expression, Lu Jiang smiled faintly. It must be said that a phone was much more convenient for communication than a telegram. Many important messages relied on it, although there were also many matters that couldn’t be discussed over the phone to prevent leaks.

"Who’s the call from?" Lu Jiang asked Xiaomiao.

Before being assigned to Lu Jiang, Xiaomiao had heard from the previous orderly and guards that serving under Commander Lu was pleasant and stress-free, as the commander and his wife treated them like family. The children at home all affectionately called them uncle, unlike some leaders’ families, where family members ordered the guards and orderlies around as if they were nobles exploiting laborers.

Therefore, after fierce competition and coming first in various aspects, Xiaomiao was finally assigned to Lu Jiang, hoping to diligently perform his duties and not disappoint the commander.

Upon hearing Lu Jiang’s question, Xiaomiao quickly replied, "It’s from Wang Xinsheng, the old marshal, saying there’s an urgent matter for you, extremely urgent."

Upon learning it was Wang Xinsheng’s call, Lu Jiang immediately quickened his pace.

The phone at their house was installed during Feng Qingxue’s secondment because the couple, being one in the north and the other in the south this year, were making calls too frequently. Of course, given Lu Jiang’s rank and capabilities, they should have had a phone long ago.

Upon arriving home, without pausing for breath, Lu Jiang picked up the receiver and dialed back.

As soon as he mentioned his name, Wang Xinsheng crisply said, "There’s been an incident, I can’t explain over the phone, come to the headquarters."

Lu Jiang’s brief vacation was instantly ruined.

Although he didn’t know what had happened, judging by Wang Xinsheng’s tone, it was clearly no ordinary matter. Otherwise, he would have spilled the beans over the phone like pouring beans from a bamboo tube. With this thought, Lu Jiang had no choice but to pack up and leave immediately, leaving household matters and social dealings to his wife, without even having time to say goodbye to the children.

"You go first, I’ll explain to the kids when they come back from school."

As Feng Qingxue handed him the luggage, she sighed. Being a military spouse means getting used to parting anytime and anywhere.

Long separations and short reunions had become the norm.

However, compared to those couples who can only reunite once a year or several years, their situation was already quite good.

Seeing that no one was in the room, as the guards and orderlies were outside, Lu Jiang stole a quick kiss and said guiltily, "Wife, the house is in your hands. If you encounter any trouble you can’t resolve, call the headquarters to find me."

Feng Qingxue covered her face, cheeks flushed, "I know, go quickly, don’t delay."

The only thing Lu Jiang hadn’t managed to do before leaving was sending money to the martyrs’ orphan family. He left the remittance slip and address with his wife. He understood the saying that giving too much might create enmity rather than gratitude, so each month they’d send five to ten yuan and five to ten jin of grain tickets, usually in combinations of five yuan and ten jin, or ten yuan and five jin, never giving too much.

In fact, compared to the current national average salary, five to ten yuan a month was not a small amount.

As for whether those who benefited from their kindness would repay or forget in the future, the couple truly didn’t mind.

In life and deeds, they acted on their conscience.
