Auntie Tian, being the director of the country town street office, should be among those with a relatively progressive mindset. However, she still struggled to accept the idea of an unmarried woman.
Jiang Chuan didn't feel it was his place to comment much on this. In his understanding, getting married at the age of thirty is normal, and even choosing not to marry in one's lifetime isn't an issue. But such notions weren't widely accepted in the 1960s.
He once again realized how feudal the mindset of this era was.
Unsure of how to respond, Jiang Chuan changed the subject, "Auntie, to which village is your daughter being assigned? I'm quite familiar with the village situations and might offer some advice."
Auntie Tian paused to recall, "I believe it's Puhshan Village."
Puhshan Village? Jiang Chuan was taken aback. He hadn't heard about the current captain resigning. Why was there a new one being appointed?
