"Comrade Zhu Haiming, please have some self-respect!!!"
Lu Fangfang had a bad feeling. Could it be that her childhood sweetheart had already found someone new?
But the original owner's grandfather clearly said he was still single, so was he lied to?
Without thinking twice, Lu Fangfang reached out and snatched the photo away.
"wrong……"
Upon closer inspection, she realized that what she was holding was a half-body photo of a man.
Lu Fangfang was stunned for a moment.
Frowning, she placed the photo in Zhu Haiming's hand and took another photo.
She rubbed the photo in her hand, sighed, and then put it back into her pocket.
We can't lose this; she might be able to use it when she gets back.
With her eyes closed, Lu Fangfang leaned against the military vehicle, feeling a heavy weight in her heart. Had she come all this way for nothing?
"Lu! Fang! Fang!"
Zhu Haiming gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Explain this to me clearly!"
"We were betrothed as children, but I don't know the specifics. I'll ask him when we get to the troupe."
After speaking, Lu Fangfang opened her eyes and glanced at Zhu Haiming opposite her.
Wavy hair, wool coat, leather shoes, and two suitcases—she looked every bit the part of a capitalist's daughter.
It seems this man's judgment isn't very good either. The "movement" has just begun, and if he marries her now, there will be no shortage of trouble later.
Shaking her head, Lu Fangfang closed her eyes again.
"What? You and he were betrothed as children? You...you two..."
Zhu Haiming pointed at Lu Fangfang, her hand trembling with anger.
The man she was introduced to was actually a childhood sweetheart... this... this...
What a disgrace!!
She glanced at the photo in her hand, her teeth practically grinding to powder. Suppressing her anger, she slowly clenched her fist.
Bah, it's too late to say anything now.
However, she didn't believe that Li Dajun would choose Lu Fangfang, that skinny, blond girl!
Beside her, Wang Shufen opened her mouth in surprise.
After watching for a while, she finally understood: these two women had the same fiancé.
This...this...
She glanced at Zhu Haiming, then at Lu Fangfang, and felt a pang of worry for her sister.
Wang Shufen opened her mouth, but didn't know how to persuade him.
For a moment, the three fell silent, with only the sound of the car moving forward remaining.
...
Starting from Minle County, the Jiefang truck took less than half an hour to reach the military base on the grassland.
There are two tour groups here, and the place is quite large.
The driver slowly brought the car to a stop, then opened the door and jumped out.
He patted the vehicle railing and called out loudly, "Sisters, we've arrived. Get out of the vehicle. Sister Wang, you and the other two sisters-in-law, please wait here for a while. I'll go and call the political commissar."
After saying that, the driver quickly ran towards the regimental headquarters.
"We've arrived..."
Lu Fangfang stood up, rubbed her bottom, and then got off the bus with her small bundle on her back.
She looked around curiously, observing her surroundings.
The military base was somewhat different from what she had imagined. Apart from the fact that everyone there was in military uniform, it didn't feel much different from the outside world.
Oh, right, there's something else different; there are lots of horses here.
She had only been down for a short while when she saw several soldiers riding by.
Cavalry units are not common; this type of unit will probably be phased out in a few years.
Lu Fangfang frowned, feeling somewhat uncertain.
However, she quickly relaxed her brow. She didn't know how her fiancé was doing, and none of this concerned her.
"Hey girl, can you help me catch Tie Dan?"
Lu Fangfang snapped out of her daze and turned around. She saw Wang Shufen standing on the car, holding a two- or three-year-old child, who was being handed down. She quickly reached out and took the child into her arms.
"Kid, your name is Tiedan?"
Lu Fangfang couldn't help but look down.
She could still see the little bird even though the kid was wearing open-crotch pants; it was quite cute.
Tie Dan looked at Lu Fangfang timidly, not daring to speak.
When Wang Shufen came down, he immediately opened his arms and cried out for his mother to hold him.
"You silly child, didn't you hear your aunt talking to you?"
Wang Shufen took the child and slapped her son's bottom.
She turned her head to look at her daughter, who was holding her hand, and said with a smile, "Da Ya, you'll see your dad soon. We'll live here from now on."
Daya stared wide-eyed at the distance with curiosity. "Mommy, there are so many big horses! Will I be able to ride a big horse someday?"
"You'll have to ask your father."
...
Lu Fangfang looked at the mother and her two children with envy, wondering how long she could stay there.
The original owner's village was suffering from a drought and had nothing to eat, so she really didn't want to go back and starve.
Unlike later generations, this era didn't allow people to freely go to the city to work. If she went back, she would have to endure ten years in the countryside, by which time she would be twenty-eight, and it would be too late.
"I wish I could work in the team."
Lu Fangfang turned to look at Wang Shufen, thought for a moment, and then shook her head.
She took off her jacket and returned it.
After a while, Zhu Haiming also got out of the car.
Seeing someone walking this way in the distance, Zhu Haiming gave a light "humph," picked up two suitcases, took two steps forward, and blocked Lu Fangfang behind her.
"boring."
Lu Fangfang rolled her eyes, took two steps to the side, and then craned her neck to look curiously.
A middle-aged man was walking briskly towards them from a short distance away.
Upon seeing Wang Shufen and the others, he excitedly called out, "Tiedan! Daya!"
"father!"
Daya broke free from Wang Shufen's hand and ran towards the man.
Wang Shufen was also a little excited. She hugged her son and went to greet him, saying, "Husband, I...I've brought your son and daughter with me."
Xiao Aiguo took his son from Xiao Aiguo, and then picked up Daya.
He kissed her on both sides, then looked at his lover and said, "Shufen, you must be tired from the journey. I've tidied up the house. Let's go to the family compound."
Just as Wang Shufen was about to agree, she remembered the girl behind her.
She glanced back, then quickly moved closer to Xiao Aiguo and whispered something.
"What? Is that so?"
Xiao Aiguo's face darkened.
One man with two wives? Do you think this is the old society?
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Aiguo said, "Alright, I'll handle this. You guys go to the family compound first. Xiao Zhang, lead the way to your sister-in-law."
After settling his family in, he turned to look at Lu Fangfang and Zhu Haiming.
Well, one was dressed like a rich young lady, while the other looked like a refugee fleeing famine.
The difference between the two was so great that it startled Xiao Aiguo.
After thinking for a moment, he realized this wasn't the place to handle things, so he turned to the soldier and said, "Xiao Liu, go and call the battalion commander to the reception room. Tell him I need to see him and to hurry up."
After the soldier left, Xiao Aiguo couldn't help but curse again, "That bastard, just wait till I get my hands on him!"
"Alright, you two come with me. I'll take care of this for you!"
