Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

She carried the vase into the bedroom and placed it on the dressing table under the window, where the faint fragrance quickly spread throughout the room.

The oblique sunlight fell through the window, casting a yellowish hue inside the room.

Feng Qingxue turned on the light and first took out some things she bought last time in Shanghai, placing them into the tall cabinets standing against the wall with the wardrobe—a few pricey silks, silk fabrics and the like. She had told Fubao that she would mail them to the Capital after buying them.

Anyway, it was Lu Jiang who received the packages, and no one came to rummage through their wardrobe, much less suspect anything.

She had the secret of space, so on the first day after moving in, she specifically instructed the housekeeper not to freely enter their bedroom or Lu Jiang's office. The cleaning was to be handled by her and Lu Jiang themselves—just sweeping the floor and wiping tables, nothing else, which wasn't too tiring for them, and generally, it was Lu Jiang who did it.

As for the things she bought in Shanghai this time, she decided to take a trip out with Lu Jiang in a few days and pretend to bring them back, since the transit time for those things shouldn't logically be so fast.

Even if you're fooling people, you must make it seem reasonable, to avoid raising suspicion.

Just as she finished tidying up the things she took out, Feng Qingxue heard the door push open. She turned her head to see Lu Jiang and couldn't help but pat her chest, giving him a playful glare. "I was wondering who it was. You didn't even knock when you came in. Turns out it was you. Weren't you at the Ye family? Why did you come back? Did the old couple just leave the kids and send you back?"

"You see, as soon as you came back, the room immediately felt lively." Seeing the plum blossoms on the dressing table, Lu Jiang suddenly remarked, overlooking his wife's questions.

"Don't worry, soon you'll feel the house becoming more and more lively." Five kids will surely give him a headache.

Lu Jiang couldn't help but think of the children with their different personalities and held his forehead. "I'm just worried about Erxiong. This lad, I have no idea who he takes after, as if he wants to explore heaven and earth, his energy is so overwhelming."

"Starting tomorrow, have them join us for morning runs." That way, they can burn off energy and exercise as well.

Nothing outside the body can compare to a healthy physique. Feng Qingxue didn't want her family to lose sight of what's truly important.

Lu Jiang's eyes lit up, "That's a great method. I should train them well. They're not young anymore; they should practice well. First, it strengthens the body. Second, it strengthens the will."

As for getting up at five in the morning being too early? These indifferent parents didn't think so at all.

The kids currently chit-chatting at the Ye family with Ye Zhengjun and his wife still didn't know they'd be shedding a layer of skin starting tomorrow. Ye Yan kept glancing toward the entrance, "The food will be ready soon, how come Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu still aren't here?"

Ye Zhengjun said with a smile, "Go and check, and if they're not here, hurry them up."

"I'll go, I'll go!" Lu Erxiong volunteered eagerly.

Just as he jumped up, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue walked in side by side, Qingxue looked at him, "Erxiong, what were you jumping up for?"

Lu Erxiong pouted, ready to protest, but Guo Cui laughed and said, "I called you over to eat, Uncle Ye and I are giving you a treat to thank you for teaching Ye Yan so well."

"Ye Yan was already excellent, and we just left him to his own devices, letting him live in the hometown for so long. We're just glad you and Uncle Ye don't blame us, far from claiming any credit for his upbringing." Feng Qingxue couldn't help but chuckle as she spoke, "In the past, Ajiang and I called Ye the elder brother, and now, because of Ye Yan, we've been demoted to calling him Uncle Ye."

Ye Zhengjun and Guo Cui laughed along and invited them, "Come, come, I've opened a bottle of Maotai, let's have a good couple of drinks."

Hearing Ye Zhengjun's words, the housekeeper and attendants quickly set up the dining room and pulled out the chairs and tables.
