"I just heard you talking to your brother. What did you want to ask? Did he ask you to take it easy?"
Yun Qiao replied, "It was Commander Liang's wife who introduced him to a blind date. My brother quite likes her. I thought since you and she are both from Beijing, maybe you know each other, so I wanted to ask you about her situation."
Feng Juan was a little surprised: "Has your brother finally figured it out?"
Yun Qiao nodded: "He must have finally gotten the idea. I see he seems to like it."
"Oh my, your brother has finally come to his senses! A few days ago, Wenjing expressed her feelings to your brother, but he was so cold and ignored her. I thought that if he didn't like such a beautiful girl like Wenjing, he would probably be single for the rest of his life! Who knew that things would suddenly turn around after just a few days!"
Feng Juan asked Yun Qiao curiously, "Have you met the girl that Commander Liang's wife introduced to your brother? What does she look like? What does she do for a living?"
She really wanted to see this girl who could make a tree bloom.
"I've met her. She's incredibly beautiful, like a fairy from heaven," Yun Qiao said. "Her name is Yan Jingwan. She's now the chief dancer in the military art troupe. Her father seems to be the commander of a military region in Beijing. Mom, do you know her?"
"Yan Jingwan?" Feng Juan frowned, thought for a long time, and said, "I don't have much impression of her, but the name "Yan" sounds quite familiar."
"Yan Jingwan, I know you." Aunt Feng suddenly spoke.
"Little grandma, you know!" Yun Qiao's face showed a look of surprise: "Tell me quickly, where does she come from?"
"She is a miserable person." Aunt Feng sighed.
Hearing Aunt Feng say this, not only Yun Qiao was puzzled, but even Feng Juan was confused. She asked, "Isn't Yan Jingwan's father a commander? He is such a high-ranking officer and cadre, how can you still say that she is a miserable person?"
"Dear? Only responsible ones are dear, and irresponsible ones are beasts!" Aunt Feng snorted coldly: "There's an old saying that goes, I'd rather have a beggar mother than a government official father. I mean him."
Yun Qiao and Feng Juan looked at each other, "What's going on?"
It sounds like there's quite a bit of truth to Yan Jingwan's family situation.
"When the People's Republic of China was first established, it was popular among urban cadres to change wives. You know, right?"
Feng Juan nodded. "I know. In the early days of the People's Republic of China, after the situation had stabilized, many cadres moved to the cities and felt their status and position had changed. So they abandoned their wives back home and found young, beautiful new lovers. Some places even issued official letters allowing cadres to find like-minded partners in the city, and stipulated that if they didn't communicate with their original wives for three days, they would automatically divorce."
Although Feng Juan was introduced to Qin Lin by the organization and married at that time, it did not prevent her from finding those people disgusting.
Qin Lin was a widower who remarried after his wife died more than ten years ago. What were those people?
The country wife gave birth to children for him, was filial to the elderly, and worked hard for half her life, but in the end, the man kicked her out of the house just because he said she was unmarried and had no feelings for him. What a joke!
Fortunately, the organization later focused on investigating this group of cadres with improper work styles, otherwise there would be no justice at all.
After hearing this, Yun Qiao finally understood what was going on and said, "So, Yan Jingwan is her father's first wife's daughter?"
"Yes." Aunt Feng nodded and continued, "But Yan Jingwan's father didn't abandon his first wife until after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Yan Jingwan is now about 25 or 20 years old. The girl her stepmother gave birth to is only two years younger than her, so she should be 45 years old. They got together when they were 40 years old."
"I remember Yan Jingwan was the first or second grandparent to enter the capital, arriving around the same time as us."
"From May 9th to December, there were three natural disasters. At that time, people all over the country were suffering from famine. Yan Jingwan's mother starved to death because she had no food to eat."
