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

Chapter 2051: Chapter 2051: The Old Steed in the Stable (Part 3)

Professor Xie’s speed of action was fast, but the old principal’s initiative was even quicker.

Of course, the main issue was a shortage of talent.

Years of calamities had resulted in a countless loss of talent. Some who were rehabilitated were either injured, disabled, or disheartened.

Therefore, regardless of their age, cultural people willing to work would be heavily employed.

Not long after, Feng Qingxue heard from her father-in-law that several elderly men and women had been hired by Capital University for suitable positions, with decent pay.

Guan Cheng’s Huaxia University learned of this afterward and regretted deeply.

Considering their advanced age, commuting between the campus and their residences was inconvenient, so Capital University specifically arranged faculty dormitories for them.

This way, their meals and lodging were all at the school.

However, as it was still summer vacation after the college entrance exams, the formal employment and accommodation procedures needed to be processed after the school started.

"Once you all start working, only Old Third and I will be left idling around. I kind of envy you," said Lu Jiang.

Upon hearing Lu Jiang’s regretful tone, Wen Ruyu laughed and said, "If you are willing, you could do it too. I believe if they knew your skills, they would humbly invite you. Your talent is no less than ours, only lacking in fame, but what does fame count for compared to genuine knowledge and skill?"

In terms of strategy and planning, Lu Jiang was unmatched.

The elderly men and women who had known him for years were quite aware of it.

Cheng Baoguo, standing beside, agreed wholeheartedly, "Second Brother is naturally brilliant, unfortunately, he never wished to come forth and showcase his talents."

Lu Jiang merely waved his hand, "Now, I enjoy mingling with my grandchildren and relishing family joys, don’t trouble me."

Healthy, rosy-cheeked, full of robust vitality, with a benevolent and contented demeanor, Lu Jiang was currently someone greatly admired.

He had a large family with outstanding children and grandchildren, not everyone had such fortune.

"Speaking of spending time with the grandchildren, why didn’t you bring the little ones today? It’s vacation, no school," Wen Ruyu was somewhat missing Fubao.

Normally, Fubao would come over to seek help with studies, and suddenly not seeing him for a few days felt a bit off.

Also, Lu Jiang’s two young great-grandchildren, Lu Chen and Guan Xu, who were usually looked after by Lu Jiang, had not been seen for the past couple of days.

Lu Jiang casually said, "Since it’s vacation, Acheng and Wenxiu took their sons home for a while, and Xiaoyue also came from the Southeast Military Region to visit family, staying with her father, so I didn’t bring the kids over."

"What about Fubao?" Wen Ruyu was still concerned about this exceptionally talented and diligent pupil grandson.

Lu Jiang’s face showed a bit of helplessness, "Caught a cold, resting at home."

"How did he catch a cold in this hot weather?" Jin Ruochu and Ouyang Lan exclaimed simultaneously.

"Due to the air conditioning."

The air conditioning provided to Lu Jiang by the state was actually only one unit, not in every room, the state couldn’t afford that.

However, after Feng Qingyun returned, with money and tickets, enjoyed life extravagantly, and bought several units, installing them in all the bedrooms, this summer couldn’t have been more comfortable.

There were pros and cons, with so much air conditioning, not covering properly at night inevitably led to feeling unwell.

Worried about infecting the elderly men and women, Fubao stayed home. Since Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue needed to work, and the grandchildren were in training, even with Wang Cuilan at home, Lu Jiang didn’t feel reassured, and soon both he and Cheng Baoguo bid farewell to Wen Ruyu.
