Li Ermei was caught off guard and had no chance to fight back. She could only raise her arms repeatedly to try to block the broom that was raining down on her.

As she retreated toward the door, she cursed, "Zhang Xiaomei, are you crazy? Why did you hit me?"

Zhang Xiaomei raised the broom in her hand and cursed: "Your mouth stinks, you must have eaten shit! If you keep talking nonsense, I will sue you for destroying a military marriage!"

When Li Ermei heard that, she was so angry that she asked back, "You said it's a military marriage, so it's a military marriage? Did the other party agree to this marriage?"

Zhang Xiaomei took back the broom, slammed it on the ground, and looked at Li Ermei who had already left her house. "It's none of your business whether I agree or not, get out of here!"

She put one hand on her waist and the other on the broom handle. Her fierce eyes scared Li Ermei so much that she took two steps back.

Li Ermei: "You, you just wait and see! Your Ye Zhi has done those shameful things, let's see if the other party still wants her. She can just wait to be broken off from the engagement!"

Zhang Xiaomei said with disdain: "If you keep talking nonsense to me, I will tear your dog mouth apart!"

Upon hearing this, Li Ermei staggered away and one of her shoes fell off. She hurriedly turned back to put them on, but her legs were shaking so much that she couldn't put the shoe on properly.

Everyone knows that Zhang Xiaomei and her husband are very protective, especially when it comes to their daughter Ye Zhi. They would scold her to death for any word they say. Of course, she would believe that Zhang Xiaomei would really fight with her for Ye Zhi.

Zhang Xiaomei was taller than her, and she had never been able to beat her before they separated. Now that she had touched her sore spot, she would not get any benefit at all.

Li Ermei ran home without looking back, and before she entered the house, she ran into her daughter Ye Hongying.

Ye Hongying was fiddling with a piece of dogtail grass in her hand and humming a song. She seemed to be in a good mood.

"Haha... Mom, what's wrong with you? Your hair is a mess. Did you fall into a pit?"

Li Ermei didn't care about her messy hair and pulled up one side of her mouth: "You stupid girl, you still have the mood to laugh! Ye Zhi is about to become a military wife, and look at you, you are already 23 years old, and you still don't want to marry this or that!"

Don’t you look at yourself? Is your hair as beautiful and smooth as Ye Zhi’s?

Although she is her own daughter, Li Ermei has to admit that Ye Hongying's appearance is far inferior to Ye Zhi's.

Ye Hongying threw the dogtail grass in her hand to the ground and curled her lips, "A military wife is just a military wife, who cares!"

Li Ermei was unhappy when she heard this and snorted, "If you don't even care about soldiers, what do you care about?!"

Ye Hongying showed a look of disdain on her face and muttered quietly: "He is just a poor soldier."

How can we compare with the engineers from the Infrastructure Group?

"you!"

Ye Hongying comforted him, "Mother, it's hard to say whether the other party will recognize this marriage, why are you jealous?"

Li Ermei stamped her feet in anger: "You stupid girl, they are about to meet! How can I not be anxious? I should have asked you to secretly replace Ye Zhi and marry that officer when the telegram came back."

"You actually despise people who are poor and join the army. At least they don't have to worry about food and clothing. Don't you see how old you are? In another year or so, you will be someone's stepmother!"

"Your dead grandfather is dead, but he didn't leave us anything. He always cared about the eldest brother's family!" Li Ermei muttered and walked towards home.

Ye Hongying looked at her mother's angry back and didn't care at all.

Even if I become a stepmother, it is better than following that poor soldier to that shabby island.

Because she is no longer the same person she used to be, she——

Reborn.

In her previous life, at the instigation of her mother, she intercepted the telegram sent by Ye Zhi's father to Mr. Lu to reject the child marriage.

She also secretly contacted the Lu family and said that she agreed to the child marriage.

But in order to prevent Ye Zhi's family from knowing, she took the initiative to go to the island alone to meet her childhood sweetheart.

But when she arrived at the desolate island, her first thought was that it was too shabby and too poor.

No wonder it is called “Qiong” State Island!

However, what made her feel even more miserable was when she proposed to marry the so-called childhood sweetheart.

The man only said two words, then turned around and sent someone to send her back.

He is so heartless!

——He asked: "What is your name?"

Then he said: "Arranged marriages are feudal and unacceptable."

Although he was handsome, it could even be said that she had never seen such a handsome young man.

But he was extremely cold and indifferent. She stayed in the guesthouse on the island for one night. No one could be seen the next morning, so he sent his subordinates to take her on a ship back to the inland.

Fortunately, that person was not completely indifferent. He knew that it was not easy for her to come all the way here, so he asked someone to give her a hundred yuan to go back.

But that night on Qiongzhou Island, she was accidentally bitten by a mosquito and contracted malaria, and she spent all the hundred yuan.

After she recovered from her illness, her mother got angry and promised her to an old man who was raising a child.

At that time, Ye Zhi had already moved into Gao Wenbo's large courtyard and was leading a life that everyone envied.

Everyone knows that Gao Wenbo, an engineer, earns nearly a hundred yuan a month, and Ye Zhi doesn't have to do anything except taking care of the children and cooking every day!

Although she is also a stepmother, the children brought up by Ye Zhi are well-behaved and smart.

Her stepchildren are naughty, sloppy, and stupid. They can't read a single word and waste their whole lives in a small town.

When the college entrance examination was resumed, Gao Wenbo took Ye Zhi back to the city. Gao Wenbo eventually became a famous entrepreneur in the provincial capital.

Although Gao Wenbo had a white moonlight, he quarreled with Ye Zhi over it, causing her to run away from home;

But Ye Zhi certainly didn’t know that after she left, the white moonlight of the past would become a grain of rice.

And her mosquito blood became the red rose that Gao Wenbo missed for the rest of his life.

Gao Wenbo mentioned Ye Zhi in countless interviews, saying that she was his lifelong regret and that he would definitely cherish her if he could live again.

In her previous life, Ye Zhi didn’t have the blessing to be the wife of the richest man, so let her be the wife in this life.

Her mother wants a poor soldier, but she doesn't!

Besides, that shabby island is still under construction, whoever wants to go there can go!

Anyway, she will never go there again this time even if she is beaten to death!

When that place develops into a tourist destination in the future, she will probably be the wife of the richest man by then, and she can go there whenever she wants!

Fortunately, she gave the intercepted telegram to Ye Zhi's father that day. Now, if she had insisted a little longer, wasn't Ye Zhi convinced by his family?

I heard that she has agreed to the child marriage.

She was just waiting to see Ye Zhi being broken off the engagement by that heartless man, so that she would become a laughing stock in Xitang Town!

But it seems that no one in the alley mentioned the fact that Ye Zhi had arranged an engagement.

It seems that we have to let everyone watch the show.

Ye Zhi's home.

The whole family was eating around a square table.

When Old Man Ye heard about Li Ermei's visit, he said to Ye Zhi, "Girl, your marriage was arranged by your grandfather. Your name was written accurately on the telegram sent by Old Man Lu. You can rest assured and don't have to pay attention to your Third Aunt."

Zhang Xiaomei snorted, "I think your Third Aunt is just jealous of our daughter. Her daughter Hongying has always loved to compete with you and fight with you since she was a child. She doesn't even know her own weight. What a problem!"

Father Ye: "I just received another telegram from Grandpa, saying that Lu Wei should come to our town in two days. Then Dad will arrange for you to meet first."

Ye Zhi: "Okay, I understand."

She had already read the telegram, which contained Ye Zhi and Lu Wei's names.

Although her grandparents have passed away, they don't know what child marriage is exactly.

But Mr. Lu shouldn't make this mistake.

That Third Auntie probably came here on purpose to cause trouble.

Some people are like this, they dislike poor people but are afraid of rich people.

Ye Zhi picked up a piece of pork with great anticipation. She hadn't eaten meat for several days and was now so hungry that she could eat an elephant.

She had never been so eager to eat meat before, and she couldn't help herself when she saw the meat on the plate.

At this moment, she finally understood what her elders said before: a grain of fermented black beans can be mixed into a bowl of rice.

Ye Zhi looked at the large group of people gathered around the square table and suddenly felt that she was also going to have a piece of meat and a bowl of rice tonight.

When she happily put the long-awaited piece of meat into her mouth——

Well, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

It tastes so bad.

How can there be such disgusting meat?

She forgot that these days, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are all very precious things.

When cooking at home, apart from adding salt, we are reluctant to even add a few drops of oil into the pot.

Sister Ye looked at Ye Zhi's porcelain-white face and joked, "Little sister, you should dress up nicely when you meet Captain Lu in a few days. I have a skirt that you wore when you went on a blind date with your brother. I'll give it to you later."

Listening to the courteous words of Sister Ye, Sister Ye couldn't sit still anymore and said, "Sister Ye, don't you see how old Goudan is? Your skirt is bigger than Goudan's. How can he still wear it?"

"Little sister, why don't you wear mine? Didn't you make a skirt for me at the factory last year? I've only worn it a few times, and it will definitely look great on you."

Sister Ye: "Come on, forget it. Don't you see how tall you are? How can my little sister fit into your skirt?"

Mrs. Ye: "Aren't we all a little over one meter tall? How come you can't fit in? Could it be that my little sister is two meters tall?"

Ye Zhi: “…”

"Sister-in-law and sister-in-law, I have clothes. Thank you for your kindness."

Ye Zhi really couldn't agree with their dressing style.

Moreover, the original owner was a person who loved beauty. Although she was only a temporary employee in the textile factory, since she worked in the textile factory, she naturally had ways to get a lot of fabric, so the original owner made several skirts herself.

Ye Zhi just needs to use it to trim the waist and then she can wear it.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Ye Zhi was woken up by her mother Zhang Xiaomei early in the morning, and was asked to dress up nicely as she was going to the commune's matchmaking office to meet Lu Wei.

The reason why the two were arranged to meet at the matchmaking office was because Old Man Ye felt that the two young men might have their own ideas, so he wanted to let the two meet first in the name of a blind date.

If one of them disagrees with the marriage, the matchmaking will be cancelled, and it will not affect the other party if it is said that the matchmaking failed.

If everyone agrees, that would be the best, it is always the best choice.

Ye Zhi couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Old Man Ye's plan.

This time, Ye Zhi truly felt how much her parents loved her.

After Ye Zhi washed up, she took out the clothes and skirts she had made earlier from the closet.

In this special era, she cannot dress too ostentatiously, so the white top and green skirt are simple and low-key, which makes her look refreshing and clean in this hot summer.

Besides, her skin was as white as snow, and the green color made her look even brighter, clean and lively, like a fairy in the forest.

Everyone in the Ye family stared at Ye Zhi's outfit.

It is generally acknowledged that Ye Zhi is beautiful, but for some reason she looks particularly good today, even more beautiful than before.

Father Ye also took a closer look and then said, "Let your mother and your eldest and second sisters-in-law accompany you today. If you really don't like it, just tell your mother directly."

Zhang Xiaomei: "We haven't even met yet, and you're saying you don't like me so soon. Look at your mouth. Do you know how to talk?"

Upon hearing this, the eldest and third sisters-in-law immediately became nervous. They didn't want this baby kiss to happen!

"I think it doesn't matter if she's average looking. Life isn't all about looks. It also depends on whether she's reliable and responsible. After all, she's the head of a regiment. How impressive it is to marry a soldier!"

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "I see. Don't worry, I will have a good chat with him."

As for what to talk about, Ye Zhi really has no experience.

She has never had any blind date experience, let alone any love experience!

Now I just hope that the other person will be someone who can find topics to talk about.

Otherwise, it would be awkward for the two of them to just sit there.

When they arrived at the commune together, a lot of people had already gathered there, but the commune always had a lot of people coming and going, so it wasn't surprising.

When Ye Zhi walked towards the matchmaking office, she immediately attracted countless eyes.

I just heard someone talking:

"Isn't that Ye Zhi from the textile factory? She's really pretty!"

"Why is she here at the matchmaking agency? Didn't she say she's attracted to the deputy director of the infrastructure group?"

"It must be that he doesn't like her! She's already a 23-year-old girl. If she can't marry into a rich family, can't she come for a blind date?"

"You're already 23? I really need to be anxious. I don't think there will be any good partners at this age."

Ye Zhi raised her bright dark eyes and glanced over. Her cold gaze made people feel guilty and terrified. They were all silent and dared not even breathe.

Ye Zhi was seen walking towards the director's office, and the crowd suddenly became excited again.

"I heard that a new officer has come to the director's office. He is tall and handsome. I have never seen such a handsome young man."

"Some people say that man is the leader of the group and he looks very young."

"Isn't he the one Ye Zhi is dating?"

At this moment, Ye Zhi had pushed the door open and saw a tall, straight-standing young man with finely sculpted features standing by the window through which sunlight was pouring.

Ye Zhi met the other person's sharp and deep eyes at first sight, and suddenly felt a little nervous.

He was wearing a well-fitting white shirt and straight military pants, which highlighted his well-proportioned muscles and made him look tall and straight. What is even more shocking is his pair of dark and deep starry eyes, which emit a dazzling light and add a sense of fortitude.

It turns out he’s not an old man.

I thought that those who could become group leaders were all quite old.

Moreover, he looks quite handsome.

Could it be that a man with such good conditions already has a partner?

Even if he doesn't have a partner, there must be a lot of people who admire him, right?

This child marriage is probably quite bad.

Even if she is willing, the other party will probably compare her with others in all aspects.

Ye Zhi suddenly felt pressured, but she had to suppress all her thoughts and said hello: "Hello, are you Comrade Lu?"

"My name is Ye Zhi."

The girl's voice is light, soft, and gentle.

The chirping of swallows and the singing of orioles are all the sweet sounds of Wu dialect. This is probably what it feels like.

Lu Wei looked at the girl in front of him quietly.

The white shirt and green skirt outline her slender yet tall figure, and they look indescribably beautiful on her.

Her watery eyes seemed to be able to speak, her long eyelashes were like a small fan, and her thick, black, and soft hair was tied into two pigtails hanging on her shoulders, making her look more lively and charming.

Suddenly, the words that he had thought of countless times were choked back.

Lu Wei coughed lightly to cover up and said in a low voice: "Hello, Comrade Ye."

"My name is Lu Wei."

The two looked at each other.

Silence fell again.
