Uncle Wang has a simple and honest personality, but he is very smart. He is the pillar of the Wang family.

At the same time, he was also the branch secretary of the Wanglou Production Brigade where the Wang family was located, and concurrently served as the brigade leader.

I heard that he was able to hold two positions at the same time because he was a companion to the young master of a landlord when he was a child, and he could read and do accounting. In addition, he had a good background, was fair and impartial, so after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the local people supported him very much.

If he had not been so devoted to staying in Wanglou Brigade and unwilling to leave, he would have been promoted to the commune long ago.

According to the memories of Feng Qingxue's original owner, her second uncle, third uncle and aunt all respected her eldest uncle very much. Many times, they would come to ask for Uncle Wang's opinion on many things before making a decision.

"Uncle, please tell me what you want to say."

Uncle Wang’s silence prompted Feng Qingxue to speak directly.

"Little sister, you say it." Uncle Wang said this to Aunt Wang instead.

Aunt Wang nodded and took Feng Qingxue's hand, "Xue, how about your uncle and I introduce you to someone?"

"What?" Feng Qingxue was stunned. The original owner was only eighteen years old, and they were already talking about marriage?

She didn't really live in this era so she didn't know that girls in this era got married at the age of 17 or 18!

Eighteen is the legal age for marriage.

"Your uncle hesitated for a long time, fearing that you would not approve of this marriage, but I said I had to ask your opinion no matter what."

Aunt Wang then said what she was most worried about. "Although you have been separated now, I don't trust your brother and sister-in-law. They have already thought of marrying you to a bachelor in exchange for food. When they are extremely hungry in the future, they may still sell you and Qingyun. Even if they separate the families, it will be useless. I am afraid you can't keep this house. Who said that the eldest brother is like a father and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. Your parents are gone, they have the reason and the right to interfere in your marriage."

After hearing these words, Feng Qingxue was shocked and showed a little bit of surprise on her face. She had never thought about this question before.

"So, the most important thing is for you to get married and take Xiaoyun away from here. It's far away and there will be less trouble." Aunt Wang is straightforward and speaks like a machine gun. "If you don't like the family your uncle introduced you to, I will keep an eye out for you and help you choose a good family to marry into. It's just that life is hard for everyone now, and many families don't want to have another mouth to feed."

"Aunt, who is uncle talking about?" Feng Qingxue asked curiously.

"Xue, don't be angry with your uncle if I tell you this. This man is called Lu Jiang, ten years older than you, good-looking, with a good personality, both civil and military, and has been a soldier for twelve years. It's just that his family background is not good. His father is a landlord, and now the family has nothing, so it has been delayed until now." Aunt Wang lowered her voice unconsciously, not as cheerful as before, but still insisted on finishing what she needed to say.

Feng Qingxue had thought of many possibilities, but she had never thought of someone from this kind of family.

"Landlord?" Feng Qingxue suddenly had an idea. "Is he related to the landlord's son who studied with my uncle?"

Aunt Wang gave her an admiring look.

"Lu Jiang's father is the landlord's son that your uncle went to school with, his name is Lu Zhiyuan. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, his family's land and property were confiscated by the state, and the land was distributed to the vast number of poor and lower-middle peasants. His father, mother and wife could not stand the ridicule of the emancipated serfs, and died one after another after experiencing ups and downs. The eldest son and daughter-in-law were spoiled and could not endure hardships, so they did not survive, leaving two boys to depend on him. Only the youngest son Lu Jiang joined the army before the founding of the People's Republic of China, so he was not affected much, but as for his bright future, it is hard to say."
