Ye Qing had transmigrated into a book — into a 1970s military marriage novel — as a “background wall.” a character who only existed in the conversations between the female and male leads.
"Just say...just say Qiangzi just made a mistake in a moment of confusion, and when he comes out to take the college entrance examination, he will definitely pass. Then you can take your daughter to Beijing to work and live in a big house."
Li Qiang's family was very poor, and lunch consisted of just a vegetable and a plate of pickles, two steamed buns made of a mixture of cornmeal and white flour, and one white flour steamed bun specially prepared for Ye Qing.
Cui picked up the white flour bun and handed it to her: "Eat quickly, my dear girl. You won't miss home when you are full."
As he said this, he pushed the only plate of vegetables towards her.
I thought: This girl is so pretty and can read and write, how wonderful! I didn't expect that stinky boy to have such a blessing.
When she leaves, I must ask her to bring back some local specialties so that she can leave a good impression on her future in-laws.
Li Qiang's father hadn't come back yet, and Cui had been refusing to pick up her chopsticks to eat. She stretched her neck to look outside and said, "Why hasn't the master come back yet? Hey! If he doesn't come back, we won't wait for him. My girl, eat quickly!"
Just as Li Lan picked up the chopsticks, she saw Li Qiang's father, Li Defu, running back in hurriedly from outside and closing the door as soon as he entered the house.
Li Lan's heart skipped a beat: No way? Did Zhao Qingmei betray me? Did they find out and come here?
Then I heard Li Defu say, "Old lady, just now I heard someone outside asking whose family has a foreign woman. Could it be that they are talking about this girl?"
Li Lan raised his head and said, "Uncle, who are these people asking about this?"
Li Defu looked at her and said, "I heard it from the neighbors. I don't know who is asking about it. I thought that the population of our county is not large, and there are even fewer outsiders, not to mention a young woman. It is very likely that your parents came to find you."
"Miss Liu Ying, I know you are sincere to Qiangzi, and we are touched. However, we are all human beings, and we are also parents. We know how anxious it is to lose our own child. Why don't you go back with them first?"
"When Qiangzi comes out, his mother and I will go with him to your house with gifts to propose marriage. Do you think this is a good idea?"
Li Lan's heart was in turmoil.
She used the alias Liu Ying and lived here as Li Qiang's girlfriend, but she never showed up and specifically told Li Qiang's parents not to tell anyone.
The old couple didn't make it public for the sake of her reputation, so no one knew she was hiding there.
Now someone came to find her, it was definitely not her parents. It was the letter she wrote that was handed over by Zhao Qingmei!
This also indirectly proves that her affairs have spread to the military compound, and she cannot go there. If she wants to catch Ye Qing, she has to find another way.
Of course, she couldn't live here anymore and she had to evacuate as soon as possible.
After thinking for a while, she raised her head and said, "I think what my uncle and aunt said makes sense. How about I let my uncle take me to the station after dinner, and I'll buy a ticket and go back to explain it to my parents. Is that okay with you?"
Seeing that she listened to the advice, Cui and Li Defu both breathed a sigh of relief.
This girl can finally be sent away! How can she live at home before getting married? If the neighbors knew about this, wouldn't they be stabbed in the back?
"Okay! Eat quickly, girl! After dinner, let your uncle take you to the station."
The weather is very hot in the summer, and the sun is even more scorching at noon. Most people are resting and taking naps at home, so it is safest to go out at this time.
Li Lan thought to himself and quickly shoveled food into his mouth. After he was full, he wiped his mouth, looked at the sun and began to urge: "Uncle and aunt, I'm done. Shall we set off now?"
