After Aunt Wang finished speaking, Uncle Wang continued to speak in a low voice.
"Xue, I'm not the kind of foolish uncle who would send my niece into danger. I think Lu Jiang is very good, steady, capable, and a soldier. His family background is the only flaw. Coupled with your current situation, I want to introduce him to you."
Feng Qingxue said hurriedly: "I know my uncle won't harm me."
If they really wanted to harm her, they wouldn't have come all the way from far away with their brother and sister-in-law to collect so much food and send it to her.
Moreover, for someone like Lu Jiang, even if she did not agree to meet him, there would definitely be someone with a discerning eye who would not care about his family background and would take a liking to him and then form a marriage relationship with him.
In this era, the status of soldiers is quite high.
Hearing Feng Qingxue say this, Uncle Wang felt relieved and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"In fact, the Lu family is a kind-hearted family. They are not the kind of people who mistreat tenant farmers. When they selected their study companions from the tenant farmers' children, I followed Lu Zhiyuan to study for more than ten years, from the age of seven to when I got married at the age of twenty. I was never bullied. On the contrary, my whole family received a lot of favors from the Lu family. When my brothers and sisters got married, they also received generous gifts from the Lu family. They did not suffer during the war. Now the Lu family has fallen because of the national situation and has become the target of public criticism. I can't stay away from it like others, so I don't want to leave the Wanglou Brigade, because if I'm there, I can secretly take care of them and prevent them from being bullied too much."
"Uncle is a kind and righteous man who knows how to repay kindness. He is worthy of learning from for us younger generations." Feng Qingxue truly admires Uncle Wang.
In this situation, how many people can do this out of old friendship? How many people in the world will help others in times of need? There are many who add icing on the cake, but few who help others in times of need. Most people like to gloat over others' misfortunes and add insult to injury.
Uncle Wang's eyes were filled with relief. "It's great that you think this way. In fact, although Lu Jiang was only sixteen years old when he joined the army, he participated in many battles, big and small. In the first two years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was a cadre of some kind, and his future was beyond doubt. Unfortunately, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, classes were divided, and his father was a landlord, so his family became the target of attack. He lost many opportunities for promotion over the years. However, because he participated in many battles and made contributions, he avoided the bad luck of being criticized. Xue, I don't understand the current domestic situation at all, and I can't guess what will happen in the future. You have a good background, so I will introduce you to him. If it really works out, I don't know whether it will be good or bad."
Nowadays, marriages emphasize matching of social status, but this is not the same as in the old days. Instead, the five red categories marry the five red categories, the five black categories marry the five black categories, and the five gray categories marry the five gray categories. He really couldn't say what the outcome of a marriage that crosses class boundaries would be.
Aunt Wang's in-laws are also from the Wanglou Brigade. They added, "Lu Jiang is a soldier, and he is rarely home all year round. You have to take care of the old and the young by yourself. I'm afraid your life won't be easy, and you will be discriminated against by all parties because of your class background. However, such a family will not refuse you to marry and bring Xiaoyun with you. After all, Lu Jiang's two nephews have to live with him and Lu Zhiyuan until they have their own families and careers. As for other families, as I said before, life is difficult now, and many families don't want to add another mouth to feed."
In the past two years, the number of young men and women getting married has decreased significantly compared to before, and they all have their own plans.
Of course, there were cases of marriage exchanges or marrying a wife with a little food.
