While reading a novel, Li Ruolan was surprised to find that her and her husband's names appeared in a period novel. They were educated youths sent to the countryside along with the male and fem...
Chapter 58 Falling into the Water and Being Rescued
Aunt Cuihua curled her lips and said, "Mrs. Zhou is very picky, so naturally she didn't like any of them. She was interested in the Red Flag Brigade and the daughter of the brigade leader.
I heard that she is also a high school graduate, and she is pretty and cheerful, tall, with a round face, and most importantly, she has a big butt so she can give birth to a son.”
Aunt Guihua nodded and said, "I have seen that girl. She is indeed a good one. It's a pity that our family is not worthy of her. Otherwise, I really want to get her back to be my son's wife."
The aesthetic standards in the past are different from those in the present. The aesthetic standards of the older generation are all about being slightly plump, fair-skinned, and looking very festive. Such girls are the most popular, while those who are too thin will be looked down upon.
Aunt Guihua's son is 22 years old this year. His name is Wang Youqing. He is a young man with dark skin but handsome features. He is definitely not bad looking and he is also very hardworking. He usually gets full work points.
"With a kind mother-in-law like you, are you still worried about not being able to find a daughter-in-law?" Li Ruolan said to Aunt Guihua with a smile.
Aunt Guihua smiled happily when she was praised.
They were weeding when Zheng Fanghua suddenly came over, apparently looking for Li Ruolan. She was a little surprised: "What's wrong with you? Why are you so anxious?"
Zheng Fanghua ran a little too fast, and after taking two breaths, he said, "Your second sister is in trouble."
Li Ruolan frowned immediately, while Aunt Guihua and the others said, "What happened? Go and have a look. We will ask for leave for you later."
Seeing that several aunts had said so, Li Ruolan followed Zheng Fanghua to the edge of the field, frowning as she asked her, "What's going on? What happened to her?"
Zheng Fanghua leaned close to Li Ruolan's ear and whispered, "I haven't been feeling well these past two days, so I asked for leave and stayed at the educated youth center. Today, Li Ruoju and Li Yingying also asked for leave for some reason.
I lay in bed without getting up, but the two of them went out at dawn. At first I thought they were going to town.
Who would have known that your second sister was brought back by Zhao Youjun in disheveled clothes, and she was soaked all over.
Anyway, your second sister is crying in the house now, and Zhao Youjun knows that you are her sister, so he asked me to come over and ask you to come over to discuss what to do about this matter."
Li Ruolan frowned even more tightly after hearing this. She had known for a long time that Li Ruoju would definitely not be willing to stay in this countryside forever, but she didn't expect that she would be so quick and find a way out directly.
For Li Ruoju, marrying a soldier and being able to follow him in the army is indeed a good way out.
But what exactly happened in between?
"You said Li Ruoju left with Li Yingying, so did you see Li Yingying?" Li Ruolan asked Zheng Fanghua.
Zheng Fanghua shook her head: "I didn't see her, and I also asked Li Ruoju why Li Yingying didn't come back. It would have been better if I didn't mention it. Once I mentioned it, your second sister cried even harder."
Hearing this, Li Ruolan raised her eyebrows. This matter was becoming more and more interesting.
The two of them were walking on the field, and soon attracted Deng Minghao's attention. Without thinking, he put down his hoe and followed them: "What's the matter? Did something happen?"
Li Ruolan told the story of Li Ruoju and Zhao Youjun in just a few words.
Deng Minghao was also stunned, but he quickly figured it out, and there was a bit of admiration in his eyes.
Li Ruolan had told him before that the original body's second sister had been a figure since childhood. At that time, Deng Minghao just listened and didn't take it to heart.
But now his eyes have really been opened. What Li Ruolan said is indeed right.
People who are decisive, daring to think and act, even if they are not good people, will often succeed.
When the three returned to the educated youth point, they found that there was already a commotion. From the sound, the voice of someone cursing loudly seemed to be from Zhao Youjun's mother, Aunt Zhao.
"You little bitch! Vixen! My son just went out for a while, how come the two of you are together? You must have seduced my son!"
Following the shouting and cursing, Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao walked into the educated youth site and saw Aunt Zhao slumped on the ground and Zhao Youjun looking unhappy.
But he still stood in front of Aunt Zhao, shielding Li Ruoju, who had a slight injury on her cheek, behind him: "Mom! I've explained that this was an accident, don't scream."
"What accident? It was all planned. I, your mother, have experienced more than you have. Don't I understand what he is thinking?
I have found a wife for you. She is the daughter of the captain next door. She is pretty and strong. You will definitely be able to have two children in three years.
Look at her! What can she do with her frail appearance? " Aunt Zhao was almost mad to death. She didn't like any of the educated youths at the educated youth site.
These educated youth were weak and frail, each one thinner than the other. Not only were they unable to work, but their hips were so narrow that giving birth would be difficult.
Poor her, she carefully selected a wife who was particularly suitable for her and came from a good family. Who would have thought that the relationship would fall through before they even met?
Li Ruoju walked out from behind Lu Youjun, her face full of grief and indignation: "How can you say that to me? Although I am very grateful that Comrade Zhao saved me, you can't slander me like this.
Did I want to fall into the water? If possible, I would rather your son not save me, so as to avoid being scolded by you!"
After she finished speaking, two lines of tears fell on Li Ruoju's face. The three sisters all had good lives. Li Ruoju looked really lovable like this.
Zhao Youjun looked at Li Ruoju's profile, his eyes flashing.
Although Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao came in, they just stood aside and said nothing. Until now they still don't know what happened.
After hearing what Li Ruoju said, Aunt Zhao was about to start scolding again, but the captain arrived. He had a gloomy face, put his hands behind his back, and took a deep breath: "What's going on?
Mrs. Zhao, stop crying. Hurry up and get up. What are you doing throwing a tantrum like? Youjun, you tell me about this."
Zhao Youjun first helped his mother up, then said clearly: "I haven't been home for a long time, so I want to walk around.
When I walked to the river, I saw this educated youth Li and a girl talking to each other by the river. They seemed to be talking about borrowing money or something.
I was planning to take a detour and leave, but the girl pushed me so hard that I fell into the river. I saw that she couldn't swim, so I jumped in and rescued her."
Although freedom of love between men and women was advocated on the surface in this era, Li Ruoju was rescued by Zhao Youjun in the countryside even though she was soaked all over. The man was unmarried and the woman was unmarried, so this marriage could not be postponed even if they wanted to.
Isn’t this a classic plot in many period novels? The hero saves the heroine who falls into the water, so he has to marry her, and then the two begin a relationship where they get married first and fall in love later.
Li Ruolan had a lot of comments flying through her mind, but she acted quite calmly and just stood aside and watched the show.
