The office door was suddenly opened, and the people who had been eavesdropping in the corner scattered.

Lu Wei's tall and straight figure stood at the door, giving people a strong sense of oppression. His sharp eyes looked around, and the group of people gathered at the door didn't dare to breathe.

Just when everyone thought that Ye Zhi would come out with Lu Wei, they saw Lu Wei walking towards the commune gate alone and got into a military green jeep.

With a roar, the majestic jeep drove away in a cloud of dust without any trace of nostalgia.

Everyone arrived early, so they all knew that the jeep was driven by Lu Wei.

In addition, the director of the matchmaking agency even cleared out his own office just to arrange blind dates for him.

Everyone guessed that this must be an officer with an impressive background.

Moreover, he was very handsome. They had never seen such a handsome young man.

At that time, everyone was very curious about which female comrade was so lucky to have the chance to have a blind date with this officer.

When Ye Zhi walked into the office, everyone was stunned.

Many people knew that Ye Zhi had been entangled with the new deputy director of the Infrastructure Group some time ago. Who would have thought that she failed to become a stepmother and now she was arranged to have this good blind date.

Naturally, everyone was dissatisfied.

When someone saw Lu Wei leave, they immediately asked, "Why did this officer come out so quickly?"

"Not only was he fast, but he left as soon as he came out. It seems like he didn't like Ye Zhi."

Just then, Ye Zhi walked out of the director's office with a neutral expression.

But to the group of people eavesdropping outside the office, this expression looked exactly like someone who had been rejected on a blind date and was trying hard not to let others know that he was sad.

So, the blind date probably didn’t work out.

The crowd couldn't help but snicker in glee.

Ye Zhi didn't care about those people who were laughing at her. Just now, when she saw Lu Wei leaving the office, she belatedly recalled the two sentences Lu Wei said before he left.

Lu Wei said that he would come to Xitang Town again in two days.

Is it true?

Or just say it politely?

Ye Zhi didn't quite understand what Lu Wei meant.

Did this child marriage succeed or not?

Are you coming here to enjoy the scenery in two days, or to continue discussing the child marriage?

Lu Wei left in too much of a hurry at that time.

I haven't had time to ask him yet.

distressed.

When her mother and elder and second sisters-in-law ask about this later, how should I tell them?

Thinking of them, Ye Zhi looked around at the chattering people.

Apart from the men and women waiting for blind dates and a few matchmaking office clerks, her mother and her elder and second sisters-in-law were nowhere to be seen. Where did they go?

Just as Ye Zhi was about to leave the matchmaking office, Zhang Xiaomei and Ye's eldest and second sisters-in-law walked out of another office with a piece of paper in their hands.

They immediately spotted Ye Zhi in the crowd, and she was truly dazzling.

In the bright sunshine, the fair skin seems to glow, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.

But why is Ye Zhi the only one here?

Where is the person you were engaged to as a child?

Zhang Xiaomei hurried towards Ye Zhi, deliberately lowering her voice and asking, "Girl, where is Captain Lu? Why are you the only one here?"

They went in and asked the clerk about Lu Wei's situation. Why did the blind date end?

Seeing Ye Zhi standing alone in front of the office door, could it be that Captain Lu has already left?

Ye Zhi kicked a stone under her feet, lowered her head slightly, and said softly: "Mom, let's talk about this when we get home."

Mrs. Ye looked around but didn't see any male comrade in military uniform. She became anxious after hearing what Ye Zhi said.

Could it be that the soup is gone?

Then how long will Ye Zhi have to wait before she can get married?

Do I really have to be a stepmother to Gao Wenbo's children?

Sister Ye asked, "Little sister, where is Captain Lu?"

Ye Zhi tidied up the hair that fell on her cheeks and said with a smile: "Comrade Lu has a mission and needs to rush back to Shanghai."

It seems that there is indeed an urgent task.

Of course, it could also be that he wanted to leave quickly and just made up an excuse to fool her.

But when he left, he said he would come back, which confused Ye Zhi.

Just assume that he will really come back in two days.

The second sister-in-law widened her eyes: "So, Captain Lu has left?"

Ye Zhi nodded: "Yeah."

Sister Ye frowned: "This..."

According to other people’s blind date process, after meeting, they would usually find another place to be alone for a while.

Even if the two parties are not attracted to each other, the matchmaking agency staff will explain the situation to both parties afterwards.

Who would just walk away like that?

Zhang Xiaomei glanced at them and said, "Let's go home and talk about it. It's so noisy!"

If I continue talking like this, won’t I be laughed at?

She didn't want her daughter to be looked at like a monkey.

After Ye Zhi and her friends returned home, Zhang Xiaomei and her elder and second sisters-in-law surrounded her and asked her all kinds of questions.

Ye Zhi told him the whole process of the blind date.

After listening to what Ye Zhi said, Zhang Xiaomei frowned and looked very worried.

Originally, Old Man Ye wanted Lu Wei to come to his house for dinner.

Even if the marriage cannot be arranged, just treat it as a treat for the descendants of the old man's comrades-in-arms.

I didn't expect this person to just leave.

Ye Zhi's mouth was dry from talking so much that she picked up the enamel teapot on the table and poured a full cup of boiled water for herself and her mother.

She took a big sip and said, "Comrade Lu said he will come back in two days, so you don't have to worry."

Zhang Xiaomei snorted: "Who knows if it's true or not? The person is gone, and the mouth is on his face. Even if he is lying to you, you can't do anything to him!"

It would be a lie to say that she was not in a hurry. Ye Zhi had finally agreed to this marriage, and the man was a soldier.

If this marriage could be accomplished, her daughter wouldn't have to think about the widower with three children.

Zhang Xiaomei would rather her daughter suffer a little and follow Lu Wei to join the army.

She also didn't want her daughter to stay in this town and become someone else's stepmother.

Ye Zhi pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Mom, I believe him."

It has been more than half a day since Ye Zhi returned home from the matchmaking agency. Her feelings are getting stronger and stronger. She feels that there is no need for Lu Wei to lie to her.

And his eyes were sincere.

Ye Zhi had never seen such eyes before. It was a sincerity that made people trust it unconditionally.

After calming down, Ye Zhi chose to trust him.

After Zhang Xiaomei heard Ye Zhi's words, the sadness on her face disappeared, and she smiled: "Girl, are you interested in Captain Lu?"

Hearing this, Ye Zhi almost spit out the water in her mouth. Her mother didn't even try to beat around the bush.

How should Ye Zhi answer?

Could she tell her mother that she wanted to eat seafood?

You said that as soon as you saw Lu Wei, you thought of abalone and crabs?

Her mother would think she was crazy.

But if you just look at his appearance, Lu Wei is really pleasing to the eye.

Ye Zhi raised her hand to wipe the tea stains from the corners of her mouth, lowered her eyebrows and said, "Mom, we just met once, how can there be any dislike or dislike!"

Zhang Xiaomei looked at Ye Zhi's shy face, and immediately felt that she must have guessed right.

I really like him.

That's right. Although she didn't see Lu Wei just now, she heard the matchmaking agent say that Lu Wei is tall and handsome, and his family conditions are very good. He said that if Ye Zhi and Lu Wei can get together, it would be really great.

Even the female comrades waiting outside discussed him for the entire morning.

Since her daughter likes it, why not try to get it for her.

Better than having to deal with that widower with three kids.

Even if she had to sacrifice her reputation, she was willing to give it all for her daughter's happiness in the second half of her life.

The next day at noon, Li Ermei ran into Zhang Xiaomei who was in a hurry to go out as soon as she got off work.

It's time for dinner, where are you going?

In the past two days, neighbors in several nearby streets have been talking about Ye Zhi's rejection of a blind date. Ever since Li Ermei was scolded by Zhang Xiaomei that day, she has been waiting to see when Ye Zhi will be abandoned by her childhood marriage partner.

Unexpectedly, she really waited for it.

Now that we see Zhang Xiaomei, we have to make fun of her, right?

Li Ermei asked in a hoarse voice: "Sister-in-law, where are you in such a hurry to go?"

Her loud voice immediately attracted the attention of neighbors living on the same street.

Zhang Xiaomei caught a glimpse of Li Ermei's figure and became extremely angry. She snorted, "It's none of your business!" After that, she prepared to continue walking towards the commune.

The worse Zhang Xiaomei's mood became, the more excited Li Ermei became.

His voice was even louder than before, and he asked, "Sister-in-law, I heard that your Ye Zhi met that childhood sweetheart yesterday. Did that person not like your Ye Zhi?"

"I've said it before, that old man didn't say that this marriage must be arranged for your Ye Zhi. If it was our Hong Ying who went there yesterday, maybe the officer comrade would have arranged the marriage right away! How could he just walk away from your Ye Zhi after chatting for less than ten minutes? How embarrassing!"

The rumor that Ye Zhi was rejected on a blind date had already spread to several nearby streets and alleys. Li Ermei wished that Ye Zhi would be laughed at by everyone in the town!

So now she can speak as loudly as she wants!

Zhang Xiaomei usually has a hot temper. If anyone speaks ill of her daughter, she won't let him off easily!

Zhang Xiaomei was like an angry tiger. She pounced on Li Ermei and slapped her in the face. "Stop talking nonsense. Your daughter Hongying has nothing to do with this marriage. Don't be a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"

"Besides, it's not your turn to interfere in the affairs between Captain Lu and my Ye Zhi. If you continue to meddle in my business, I will report you to the commune!"

This slap made Li Ermei dizzy and her face felt burning with pain.

Li Ermei never expected that Zhang Xiaomei would attack her directly. When she wanted to fight back, Zhang Xiaomei said "Pooh" again.

Zhang Xiaomei said: "All you do is stare at other people's affairs. Why don't you look at what shameful things your own daughter has done? You are such a shameless person!"

Li Ermei was confused by Zhang Xiaomei's words.

What did her daughter Hongying do?

Could it be that Zhang Xiaomei was deliberately deceiving her?

But at this moment Zhang Xiaomei had already walked towards the commune. Li Ermei had no choice but to get up and run quickly towards home, intending to ask Ye Hongying what she had done!

Zhang Xiaomei came out intending to call Mr. Lu, hoping to fight for her daughter.

Who knew that just when I passed by the family compound of the Infrastructure Group, I saw Li Ermei's daughter Ye Hongying coming out of Gao Wenbo's yard with messy hair.

Look at that look!

I don’t know what I did.

Ever since she saw that scene, Zhang Xiaomei had to swallow her pride and say a few words on behalf of Ye Zhi and Lu Wei's childhood marriage.

If Ye Zhi stayed in this town, who knows how badly those people would say about her Ye Zhi and Ye Hongying.

By then, it won’t just be their two families that will be affected, but the entire Ye family might even be brought into disgrace!

In the blink of an eye, it was the day we agreed to meet again.

Ye Zhi did not get up as early as the day they first met, and went straight to the matchmaking office to wait for someone.

Instead, he went back to the factory to work.

In the past two days, rumors have been spreading in the factory that Ye Zhi was rejected on a blind date, but Ye Zhi doesn't care.

Even if you are rejected on a blind date, is it a big deal?

Could it be that they get engaged after just one meeting?

Can't we see each other more often?

It won’t be too late to draw a conclusion after Lu Wei comes and meets him for the second time.

Time passed quickly and it was time to get off work. Ye Zhi stayed in the office a little longer on purpose.

I waited until the sun went down before I slowly packed up my things and prepared to leave the office.

The textile factory is very large, and when Ye Zhi walked on the street, many people still pointed at her and talked about her. Some of them were female comrades she had met at the matchmaking office before.

Ye Zhi didn't care about these people. She just thought that Lu Wei had said he would come today, but her family had never come to notify her.

Apparently, he didn't come.

For some reason, Ye Zhi felt a little lost.

She walked slowly towards the gate of the textile factory. As the sun set, the originally blue sky was dyed with a layer of purple-red dawn, filling the quiet town with a touch of tenderness.

When she looked up, she saw Lu Wei standing in the red clouds, walking slowly towards her.

His tall body is like a towering mountain, majestic and heroic.

Many people have been attracted by his figure, and the discussion has become louder -

"This soldier comrade is so handsome, who is he?"

"Why does he seem to be staring at Ye Zhi all the time?"

"Could it be the comrade who went on a blind date with Ye Zhi a few days ago?"

Lu Wei, wearing a neat military uniform, had walked up to Ye Zhi with his tall and straight figure.

For a moment, Ye Zhi couldn't see the expression on Lu Wei's face as he was facing away from the light.

He lowered his eyes slightly, looked down at Ye Zhi in front of him, and said sincerely: "Comrade Ye Zhi, I'm sorry for being late and keeping you waiting."

Ye Zhi looked at the person in front of her and couldn't help but smile: "As long as you come, it's never too late."

Hearing this, Lu Wei's heart suddenly felt swollen, as if it was filled with a ball of soft cotton.

He held the thing in his hand and suddenly felt unprecedentedly nervous.
