Chapter 43

Sun Xiaoyan immediately became excited. "Huh? Where? Who?!"

Great! She said something was wrong recently! So there must be another vixen! She squinted her eyes and tried to see. She was a little nearsighted, so she couldn't see clearly in the distance, but the clothes looked very similar. "Sister, I have something important to report to our factory director, and I just saw him now. You go first, I'll come by myself later!"

"Yeah. Don't talk to your factory manager in that manner."

Sun Xiaoyan choked and ran away. "Hmph, you know nothing! He likes people like me!"

Bi Chunliu came out of the restroom and wanted to wash her hands, but there was no tap in the restroom, so she had to go to the cafeteria to wash her hands. She didn't want to go to the blind date, so she went to the cafeteria instead. After washing her hands, she saw Wang Xiaojun's sister Wang Xiaoman running anxiously from the back door and throwing herself into the arms of a man in military uniform.

Wow... Is this the mysterious recipient of Wang Xiaoman’s military letter?

"Why did you come just now? I thought, I thought you had changed your mind..." Wang Xiaoman wiped her tears and cried, making the man in military uniform so distressed that he was at a loss and could only say sorry repeatedly.

Bi Chunliu was so disappointed with the situation. If this happened in a later storyline, the hero should have hugged the heroine tightly, said sweet words to her, and then gave her a passionate kiss. But unfortunately, the hug just now was already considered out of line at this time.

"Xiao Man, don't worry, I, I only have you in my heart. I am now a company commander and can join the army. Do you... do you still want to marry me?"

Wang Xiaoman cried bitterly, not forgetting to hit the man in front of her, "What nonsense are you talking about! I've been waiting for you for so long even if I don't marry you. Why would I meet you even if I don't marry you?! You have no conscience!"

The man in military uniform touched his chest after being hit twice, and smiled innocently, "Then I'll go shopping tonight and propose to you tomorrow?"

"Um……"

“Bang!”

Bi Chunliu:!!!

What's that noise?! I looked down at my feet, and I didn't step on anything...

"Who!" the man in military uniform asked alertly.

After hesitating for a while, Bi Chunliu came out reluctantly. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack to hide in. It was really not possible to be alone when eavesdropping on something. It was too embarrassing!

"sister……"

???

What's going on? Xiaojun? When was she here?

Bi Chunliu followed and called out, "Sister Xiaoman..."

"Sister? Chunliu?" Wang Xiaoman turned her head and wiped her face, her round eyes filled with surprise. "What are you two doing?"

Wang Xiaojun: "Sister, what are you doing? Are you going to join the army? Do our parents know?"

Wang Xiaoman nodded, "Let's talk about this after we get home. Aren't you two at work? Go back quickly." She felt relieved when she knew the people who peeped were her sister and her friend. She didn't want other people in the factory to know, especially the aunts and ladies in the cafeteria, who were too gossipy.

"But……"

Wang Xiaojun hadn't gotten what she wanted to know yet, and she didn't want to answer. What was going on? "Sister," she said, "meaning my parents knew about her. Did they disapprove before? Now my sister had decided to join the army. Since we're so far away, how would we ever see each other again?" "I heard some military wives leave for 20 or 30 years. If they get bullied later, they won't be able to seek justice for me!" "Wouldn't that make my parents even more dissatisfied?" Wang Xiaojun was so confused he didn't know what to say.

Wang Xiaoman didn't say anything else and just pulled the man in military uniform away.

"What is this?!" Wang Xiaojun stomped his feet in anger.

.

Tuesday afternoon after get off work.

Wang Xiaojun said goodbye to a few people in the office and left in a hurry.

Ever since meeting Wang Xiaoman at the social gathering and she mentioned that she was going to join the army with a man in military uniform, Bi Chunliu hadn't mentioned the matter to Wang Xiaojun again. It was too embarrassing! She also noticed that Wang Xiaojun hadn't looked very happy in the past two days. Perhaps Wang Xiaoman had had an argument with her family?

Bi Chunliu thought about this and walked slowly outside.

"Chunliu, comrade!" Xing Fei bit his cheek to remind himself that they were not married yet.

Bi Chunliu looked up at the person waving at him and stopped thinking about Wang Xiaoman.

This guy is laughing so happily! In my previous life, I didn’t think that when Xing Fei laughed, he looked like a sunny Samoyed...

Thinking of Samoyed's cute appearance, she also smiled, trotted over and asked him, "How long have you been here?"

Xing Fei put his long legs on the bicycle and motioned her to sit on it. The two of them were going to eat first and then go to the movies.

"Not long ago, I just arrived too."

The May weather was neither too hot nor too cold, and the gentle breeze blew past, causing Bi Chunliu's hair to flutter. She listened to Xing Fei complaining about a colleague named Hao Ren, and laughed at him inwardly. These two, even in their fifties and sixties, couldn't stop talking, as if they couldn't stop talking to each other.

When they arrived at the state-owned restaurant, the two of them waited for their meal.

"By the way, Chunliu, do you like listening to music?" Xing Fei asked casually.

Bi Chunliu nodded in response, "I like it, what's wrong?"

Speaking of music, she felt quite regretful. She knew from taking Xing Fei to a concert in her past life that they both loved listening to and singing. Nowadays, whether it was popular songs or played on the radio, they were mostly red songs. The era of domestic music booming hadn't arrived yet. Although she remembered the lyrics to those songs, she still had to be cautious in the current situation. She didn't dare hum songs at home, for fear that she would hum a song later and let Bi Weiguo and the others remember it, and then they would ask her about it in a few years. There were plagiarists in ancient times, and she didn't want to be a song plagiarist!

Xing Fei lowered his head slightly and lowered his voice, "Have you heard of this?" He hummed a short melody softly.

!!!

Bi Chunliu's pupils suddenly contracted, startled. Wasn't this the song sung by the singer they both loved in their past lives?! They'd been to a concert together.

No, this is too scary...

Fortunately, I lowered my head just now, so Xing Fei probably didn't notice my expression.

Bi Chunliu thought for a moment, staring at him, trying to pass it off with a serious look. "I haven't heard it, but it sounds pretty good. Who sings it?"

Xing Fei leaned over and whispered, "You haven't heard of it either, have you? I even asked friends in the art troupe and the theater, and they all said there's no song with this kind of melody. Isn't that amazing? I dreamed about it every night, and I've dreamed about it so many times!"

He didn't say what scene he dreamed about when he saw this song. After all, that scene didn't seem very suitable for communicating with his favorite blind date.

He and the person who might be the object of his late-life romance were among a group of young girls and boys, wearing shiny objects on their heads and holding shiny objects in their hands, cheering and shouting like they were in rebellion. No matter how you looked at it, something was wrong. When he first had this dream, he thought he was crazy... If he didn't know that there were no ghosts or monsters in this world, he would have thought he was possessed.

"Oh? So maybe you subconsciously still have a love for singing and a hobby in it?" Bi Chunliu laughed. Oh my god, what the hell is going on?!

Xing Fei thought for a moment, nodded and said: "It could also be..."

"You two chatting over there, your dishes are ready!" the waiter shouted at the top of his voice.

Bi Chunliu quickly stood up: "Here I come!"

Knowing such a shocking thing before the movie, Bi Chunliu didn't even eat properly, and didn't even pay attention to what the movie was about. After watching the movie in a daze, Xing Fei sent her home. Bi Chunliu said a few words to him and hurried home. She needed to take a break.

"Sister, are you back?" Bi Weiguo, who was sleeping in the outer room, heard the sound of the door and asked in a daze. He was almost falling asleep.

Bi Chunliu carefully patted his head and coaxed him, "Well, go to sleep obediently."

"Um……"

After Bi Chunliu finished cleaning up and lay down on the bed, she breathed a sigh of relief. Her behavior was quite normal. She didn't show that she had heard the song before. God knows, when she first heard it, she almost sang along with him. Fortunately, she had strong willpower!

Well! Then don't worry. When we meet in a few days, he probably won't bring up this matter. Xing Fei is quite good at finding new things to share with her.

Huh? Wait. What did Xing Fei say before he left?

Bi Chunliu sat up. She seemed to have promised him that she would have dinner with him, one of his comrades, and his fiancée the next day.

No wonder he seemed quite happy when he left.

Bi Chunliu laughed twice in the dark night. This man was still like this. When he was happy, even his hair showed a cheerful energy.

.

"Xiao Bi is here? We're the only two working today!"

As soon as Bi Chunliu arrived at the office today, he heard Zhao Mei greeting him.

"Good morning, Sister Zhao! Have Sister Hongxia and Xiaojun asked for leave?"

Zhao Mei took out the sweaters from her bag. She was going to unpack the sweaters today because these two sweaters were too small for the children.

"Yes, Xiaojun's sister got engaged today, is getting married the day after tomorrow, and will be leaving the day after that. This girl has quietly found a partner so far away."

Zhao Mei’s words really surprised Bi Chunliu. Xiaojun’s face looked bad these past two days. She thought Wang Xiaoman was in the midst of a struggle with her family. How could she be getting engaged today?

"Why is Sister Xiaoman so anxious?" Bi Chunliu put her bag on the table and picked up the thermos.

Zhao Mei picked up another thermos and said, "Well, let's go together!"

On the way to fetch water, Zhao Mei was still telling Bi Chunliu about her fear of a marriage that might lead to many unhappy outcomes in the future. "This military wife has such a hard life, how did this girl choose a soldier? I heard Hongxia say that it's because the military vacation is only half a month, and traveling back and forth takes up six days, leaving less than ten days. After he and Xiaoman are done, he has to take Xiaoman back to his hometown, so he has to be very busy!"

"So that's what's going on..." Bi Chunliu responded, wondering whether he should give Wang Xiaoman a gift.

Zhao Mei glanced at the equally young Bi Chunliu and said, "Don't we all say that getting married is like being reborn as a woman? You have to think carefully before making a decision. You can't just let your mind wander to love and not consider other factors.

Take Xiaoman, for example. Her boyfriend is serving in the army in the south, and it takes three days by train to get there. It's so far. When she has children, how many chances will she have to see her parents? Hongxia said that the boy's biological mother is gone, his stepmother is the head of the family, and he has two younger siblings who don't have the same mother. If the younger siblings are doing well, that's fine. If not, won't they constantly be asking the couple for this and that? Just imagine what life will be like in the future...

Of course, having a biological mother-in-law doesn't necessarily mean life will be smooth sailing." Zhao Mei's tone shifted as she spoke.

"Look at me. I have a mother-in-law, and more than ten of us are living together. Alas... apart from having someone at home to help look after the kids while I'm at work, so I don't have to worry about them getting burned or hungry, there's not much else."

Bi Chunliu: "..." When he didn't know what to say, he decisively changed the subject.

"Sister Mei, Chairman Ren wants us to count how many couples have formed in the sorority. When do we start?"
