Qin Dongling obviously attached great importance to his first visit. He repeatedly asked Xu Mei, wanting to know what Guan Jinghua's preferences were.
The day of the official visit was the second day of the first lunar month. The things he brought were all carefully considered. Looking at these, Guan Jinghua found it difficult to have a good impression of this handsome young man.
Seeing that he was humble and polite, and really good to his daughter, he already had a plan in mind.
Turning her back to Qin Dongling, she said to Xu Mei, "It seems that Dongling is quite wrong, but does he know about our family situation?"
"He hasn't told him yet, but he will definitely mind." Speaking of this, Xu Mei has enough confidence.
Only then did Guan Jinghua feel relieved.
On the other hand, Qin Dongling was very nervous, worried that Guan Jinghua would have a bad impression of him.
But he never asked until Chu Xiao was about to return to the army. Outside the train station, he asked Xu Mei, "Did Auntie say anything?"
Seeing him like this, Xu Mei was a little amused. "Mom has a pretty good impression of you. Your worries are unnecessary."
Her mother was worried that Qin Dongling would dislike them, but Qin Dongling was also worried that her mother would not be satisfied. The two people she cared about the most cared about her so much, which made Xu Mei feel very happy.
Qin Dongling's expression eased slightly, and he said to Xu Mei in a gentle voice, "I'll go back and write a report this time. Once it's approved, I'll send you a telegram."
At that time, telegraphs were far less popular than letters, charged by the word, and were very cheap. Qin Dongling suppressed his emotions, but his words betrayed him.
"Okay," Xu Mei nodded, "After we get married, you have to take me to visit my uncle and aunt."
Hearing her talk about her mother, Qin Dongling's expression became softer. If his parents knew that he was about to have such a good wife, they would definitely be happy for him.
Because they were thinking about the marriage application, this separation didn't seem too sad. Both of them were full of anticipation and sweetness.
When he arrived at the army, Qin Dongling applied for marriage right away. His leader was delighted to see that he hadn't even put down his luggage.
"What a happy occasion! No wonder you're so anxious." He circled twice around the girl he admired so much. "She must be a good girl."
Qin Dongling: "She is indeed very good."
The leader laughed and asked him to fill in the information, but he also suppressed his gossip. "How many years older are you? Why did you just follow me?"
"She's two years younger than me," Qin Dongling said. "She's in college and school is about to start, so she's got a lot to do."
The leader was really shocked. "He's actually a college student?" He was really surprised. It would be an exaggeration to say that college students these days are rare.
No wonder Qin Dongling said it was particularly good.
"right."
After receiving a positive answer, the leader was happy for him and said, "Be good to her. You have delayed the future of other girls. I will be the first to let you go."
In today's world where everything is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt, it's strange that a college student would give such advice without any doubt about his social status.
Qin Dongling understood and recognized this. Xu Mei was a student majoring in Chinese and had been submitting articles to magazines very early on, many of which contained profound social insights.
He quickly filled out the application, walked out of the office and returned to his dormitory.
A few days later, Qin Dongling was called to the office by his leader again.
"Comrade Xu Mei is indeed very outstanding. Her military rank is relatively low, so there's nothing wrong with her after the higher-ups' review. You just need to go back and register with the organization's letter of introduction."
After getting the marriage introduction letter, Qin Dongling was still thinking about those words on the way back.
It turns out that Xiaomei is quite close to him, and her military rank is quite low.
But Qin Dongling didn't dwell on it too much. He guessed that the relationship between the mother and daughter and Xu Xiao was very bad, so after he married Xiaomei, he would of course listen to his wife in everything.
There were many days of honeymoon leave before I went back, but Qin Dongling promised to send a telegram, so I took leave as soon as possible and planned to go to the county town.
Zhuo Dingying was very puzzled, "Why are you going to the county town for no reason?"
He even took a special leave to go. This is really like Qin Dongling's style.
Qin Dongling smiled for the first time and said, "Go send a telegram."
Zhuo Dingying's intuition told him that something was wrong. He squinted his eyes and looked at Qin Dongling for a while, then suddenly realized, "Wait, tell me first, why did you go to the office yesterday?"
"Marriage application." Qin Dongling did not hide it from him.
Even though he had guessed it, Zhuo Dingying was still very excited when he heard this. He almost fell off the bed and asked, "Are you serious?"
After waiting for Qin Dongling's reply, he continued, "Your sister-in-law must be the lesbian who sent you the photo!"
A smile appeared in Qin Dongling's eyes. He turned and went out. Zhuo Dingying hurriedly followed him. He wanted to accompany Qin Dongling to the county town to send a telegram.
On the other side,
After receiving the concise telegram, Xu Mei was so happy that she jumped for joy.
The closer it got to this moment, the more afraid she was that something might go wrong. She waited anxiously for several days, and only when Qin Dongling came back and she had the marriage certificate in her hand did she feel completely at ease.
The marriage certificate at that time was very exquisite, printed with the pattern of the five-pointed star of the national flag, and above it was a slogan: "Love and respect each other, encourage each other, work together, and have a happy family."
Looking at each other's names on the marriage certificate, Xu Mei felt mixed emotions.
In the evening, Guan Jinghua prepared a sumptuous meal for her daughter and son-in-law to celebrate. Even though the conditions were simple, it was the happiest day for Xu Mei in all these years.
"Have you decided when to join the army?" Guan Jinghua looked at Qin Dongling at the table. "Dongling, your troops should be able to join the army, right?"
"You can live here permanently, but you can go for short stays." In order to protect the families, families in difficult areas are allowed to live here permanently.
Thinking of this, Qin Dongling glanced at Xu Mei from the corner of his eyes and secretly made up his mind that he would work harder even if it was just to stay with his wife.
Once your military rank is high enough, you will have more privileges and be allocated a better house.
As for his mother-in-law's other question, he said, "I don't have anything to do right now. I have enough vacation time. I'll consider returning to the army after I have the wedding banquet."
Wedding banquet?
Guan Jinghua was stunned. Ever since she moved out with her daughter, her relatives had been unable to understand her and had completely cut off all contact with her. So she had never thought about this.
But facts have proved that people who put their wives in their hearts will always find ways to accomplish many things.
The two chose a relatively good day recently, invited Qin's relatives and Xu Mei's close classmates, and had two tables of simple family dinners and simple gifts. However, the couple looked very ordinary, and the smiles on their faces were full of happiness.
Guan Jinghua's eyes were red as she watched. For some reason, she felt as if she had been waiting for this day all her life.
The banquet is over,
Xu Mei and Qin Dongling returned to the room. There were wedding characters pasted all over the room, even on the cabinets.
Xu Mei was a little moved and looked around. "Did you put up all these wedding characters?"
"Well, marrying you would be putting you in an injustice." Therefore, he always wanted to do his best.
Xu Mei shook her head and put her hand on the back of Qin Dongling's hand, "Let's be together, I've never felt wronged."
In the dim light, Xu Mei sat on the bed covered with red bedding, looking more beautiful than ever.
Qin Dongling looked away.
…
The kerosene lamp went out, and the room became eerily quiet, with only the sound of their overlapping breathing remaining.
Xu Mei and Qin Dongling held hands. There had never been a moment when the two of them were so clearly immersed in each other, and without reservation.
