Chapter 295 Blind Date
Seeing that his expression didn't change at all, Lin Xia couldn't tell whether he was pretending or really had no guilt. "Just asking."
This question inevitably made Lu Yuxiu's heart skip a beat. Why did he suddenly ask this? He sat up and looked directly into Lin Xia's eyes and said, "At first, someone introduced us once, but we didn't meet again until I went back to Beijing on my family visit leave."
He really didn't go on many blind dates. At that time, he was preoccupied with fighting for his country on the battlefield and had no thoughts about his personal life. In the beginning, many leaders introduced girls to him, but once he told the girls about his situation, the relationship ended in nothing when the girls heard that he had a child. In the end, he didn't want to look for another girl.
I had planned to devote my whole life to my motherland, but I didn't expect to meet Lin Xia.
Lu Yuxiu looked at her deeply. The only light in the room was a small, dim table lamp beside the bed. The two of them were very close to each other, and Lin Xia could feel the endless warmth from him.
The man's warm breath fanned her face, and her whole body was enveloped by him. Lin Xia had long forgotten the previous question.
It was not until breakfast the next day that Lin Xia remembered that she had not asked him about the soldiers looking for a partner, so she pulled Lu Yuxiu to find out what was going on. Only then did Lu Yuxiu know why Lin Xia asked that question last night.
It just so happened that he had quite a few outstanding unmarried soldiers under his command. After learning what Lin Xia was going to do, he couldn't help but fight for his soldiers.
Lin Xia learned about their requirements for a spouse from Lu Yuxiu, and couldn't help but sigh that getting married and finding a partner at this time was not complicated, as long as you were willing to live a down-to-earth life, you could succeed.
Lin Xia felt much more at ease. After all, in this era, many people listen to their parents when getting married. If the hometown can arrange it, the marriage can be settled even if the parties are not around. They may not know who they are marrying until the wedding day. It can be said to be a real flash marriage.
Lin Xia thought that if they were allowed to see each other on the spot, the chances of success would be higher, right? At least if she could choose someone at first sight, she would be willing to choose him.
These soldiers are said to be unmarried at an advanced age, but in fact they are only about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. There are not many who are still unmarried at the age of twenty-seven like Lu Yuxiu.
After Lin Xia learned enough information from Lu Yuxiu, her thoughts gradually took shape.
The next morning, I arrived at the office and started writing the plan. When Director Pei came, I handed her the brief plan.
"Will this work? Will anyone participate?" Director Pei stared at the project plan with a frown on his face, feeling hesitant. The idea looked novel, but it was not easy to implement.
"It's not difficult to operate, and the things are easy to prepare. It's not difficult to do the two things together." After thinking about it, Lin Xia felt that it was too inefficient to invite girls to meet him one by one, so it would be better to hold a blind date conference.
"You are in charge of this matter. Just let me know if you need help." Young people have a lot of ideas. Director Pei didn't have a clue, but when he thought about the many failed attempts, he decided to give it a try this time.
"Okay, Director." Lin Xia left the plan to Director Pei. She still needed her to discuss it with the army. After all, both sides needed to cooperate.
After Director Pei decided to let Lin Xia be in charge and others to assist, even though Ding Qin and Zhu Airong felt that this matter was not very reliable, they had to listen to Lin Xia's command.
The first thing was to spread the news. The man had no shortage of candidates, but the most important thing was the lack of girls. Lin Xia mobilized everyone to look for people, no matter if they were from the county or the neighboring county, no matter if they were from the village or the city, as long as the girls were willing, they could come.
The venue was also easy to choose. With the help of Director Pei, we applied for the place where the party was held before. The venue is large and can accommodate many people.
Lin Xia also spread the news in the family quarters. Lin Xia was afraid that the girls in this area alone would not have enough people, so she had to mobilize the power of the masses.
For city girls, this place is remote and not a good place to go, but for rural girls, finding a soldier as a partner is a very honorable and rare thing.
When the sisters-in-law heard the news, they immediately sent telegrams back home, no longer caring about money.
Yang Hongmei also sent telegrams to her home and the Wu family. She had an unmarried younger cousin on her mother's side who was several years younger than her in age, and the Wu family also had an unmarried niece. She didn't care about being stingy with the money, so she made everything clear in the letter, but whether they could come or not was entirely up to them voluntarily.
After mobilizing all the people who could help, Lin Xia was so busy that she was nowhere to be seen all day. The children gradually got used to her busyness and no longer cried and looked for her. An An could not go to school now, so Lin Xia felt more at ease when he took his younger brothers and sisters to play together.
It’s just that since they see Lin Xia less during the day, the little ones would ask for compensation at night. They would hug the pillows and sleep with their mother every night. So Lu Yuxiu started to move the little ones in the middle of the night again.
Lin Xia felt guilty about how the children were clinging to her, and thought that after this matter was over, she would take a few days off to spend more time with the children and make it up to them.
"She really shows off her ability by asking for so many things!" Ding Qin and Zhu Airong were assigned by Lin Xia to set up the venue. They were very dissatisfied as they walked on the road.
Zhu Airong has gotten used to it after these days. Although he feels a little tired, the event is coming soon and he can't help but look forward to it.
Ding Qin's lips drooped. She was very unhappy with Lin Xia's arrangement. A few days ago, she arranged for them to mobilize unmarried girls from factories and hospitals, and she had to please others a lot.
I finally thought I could take a break today, but I was assigned to go to the meeting hall again. The sun was so hot, but there was no sign of Lin Xia.
Lin Xia was busy at home, checking the cosmetics she had made, which would come in very useful.
In the past two days, she was busy asking Wang Guilan to help her get bamboo. After get off work, she built a platform for burning ash in the yard. She failed once before, but now she finally succeeded.
After carefully checking the powder quality and seeing that the color was normal, Lin Xia breathed a sigh of relief. There was no time to make it into strips, so she added a little coconut oil to make the eyebrow powder into paste and then compacted it in a small iron box. In this way, a box of eyebrow powder was ready.
A week has passed since the sisters-in-law sent telegrams home. Those who live nearby can arrive faster. There are also many young girls in the family quarters recently, and she has observed them carefully.
She was not very clear about their personalities, but she could tell by their appearance at a glance. She didn't see many particularly ugly ones, but many of the girls didn't dress up well, so they looked somewhat ordinary.
But the aesthetic standard at that time was that having a long, smooth and oily braid was good-looking. Lin Xia felt that if she dressed it up well, she would be able to charm those guys.
