Chapter 179 I will be loyal to our marriage
Zhou Jiefang, who was not asleep, nudged Cui Shufen. She was confused and asked, "What's wrong?"
The quilt was covered over the couple's heads, and Zhou Jiefang lowered his voice. He said worriedly: "If we do this, will Xiaoling hate us in the future?"
Cui Shufen has been keeping a close eye on Zhou Ling recently, and the mother and daughter are almost inseparable. Cui Shufen is afraid that her daughter will shamelessly go looking for Zhao Min.
Cui Shufen was silent for a moment: "Hate it if you want, Zhao Min is not a good man, his family is very poor, and his mother is a troublemaker. The girl has a straightforward personality, how can she have a good life if she marries him? And none of the daughters-in-law of the Zhao family are easy to deal with..."
Zhou Jiefang's heart tightened, and his softened heart hardened again.
"Xiaoling is young, she will understand our good intentions when she is older..."
These words were said by Cui Shufen, and she also said the same thing to Zhou Yong.
Facts have proved that some hatred will not fade with time. After all, the damage caused cannot be compensated.
The couple covered themselves with their quilts and whispered to each other. Zhou Ling, who was sleeping on the north kang, was still upset.
She didn't know what time she fell asleep, but she knew that it was already bright when she opened her eyes.
Zhou Ling turned her head to look at the clock on the wall, and saw that it was already six o'clock, with a puzzled look.
Normally Cui Shufen would have called her up at this time, but today she did something out of character, which was really rare.
Zhou Ling stretched in the bed, sat up and put on her clothes.
With a creaking sound——
Cui Shufen entered the house. Zhou Ling looked at her mother and asked tentatively, "Mom, isn't the brigade going to work today?"
The team is clearing the rubble from Nanshan these days, so every household has to help.
"To work. But we won't go. Mom will take you to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy wedding supplies..."
Zhou Ling froze for a few seconds. She folded the bedding and handed it to Cui Shufen, who carried it to the south kang. Then she went downstairs to wash.
Breakfast was millet porridge and mixed flour steamed buns. After the meal, Cui Shufen looked at the time and took Zhou Ling away from home.
On the way, Zhou Ling kept looking for opportunities to get rid of Cui Shufen, but unfortunately she failed even when she arrived at Hongqi Commune.
As luck would have it, Cui Shufen and her daughter met Lu Xiangdong and his mother as soon as they entered Hongqi Commune.
"Are you two going to the supply and marketing cooperative?"
Cui Shufen was holding two triangular bags in her hands and was dressed neatly, so it was not difficult to guess where the mother and daughter were going.
"You and your son are also going to the supply and marketing cooperative?"
Lu Xiangdong's mother Chen Lianchun raised the triangle bag in her hand and said with a smile: "My two children are getting married soon, I have to hurry up and buy their wedding supplies..."
Since the day they discussed their marriage, Chen Lianchun has been shopping non-stop. The Lu family has basically bought all the wedding items for Lu Xiangdong and Zhou Ling. They just need to buy some small items today to complete the plan.
Cui Shufen and Chen Lianchun looked at each other and both smiled.
Chen Lianchun took a few quick steps and took Cui Shufen's arm: "That's great, I have a companion now..."
The two of them walked forward while talking, leaving Lu Xiangdong and Zhou Ling behind.
It was obvious that Chen Lianchun did this on purpose in order to allow them to develop feelings for each other. Cui Shufen saw this and was naturally willing to cooperate with her mother-in-law.
Lu Xiangdong walked in front, and Zhou Ling kept a distance of two or three meters between him.
Chen Lianchun turned around and glanced at them, then frowned immediately.
"Look at Dongzi, he's already thirty years old, but why is he so stubborn? He doesn't even walk slowly and wait for Xiaoling..."
Cui Shufen glanced behind her, then turned around and patted Chen Lianchun's hand: "Weren't we the same at the beginning? You are so shy, just let them be!"
Chen Lianchun smiled and nodded: "You were much better off than me at that time. At least you saw your family being liberated. My parents picked me up at that time..."
In a blind marriage, neither the man nor the woman knows what the other looks like until they enter the bridal chamber.
They talked about this topic as they walked, and they were chatting enthusiastically.
In contrast to them, Lu Xiangdong and Zhou Ling were just a pair of strangers. They had no communication at all and went their separate ways. Who would have thought that they would soon become husband and wife?
Lu Xiangdong walked forward with his back straight and big strides, while Zhou Ling's steps were not big, and soon the two of them were more than ten meters apart.
Maybe it was because the Chinese New Year had just passed, the streets seemed very deserted.
Lu Xiangdong took two or three steps and came to the side of Chen Lianchun and Cui Shufen. He wanted to keep walking forward, but was grabbed by Chen Lianchun.
Cui Shufen looked at the mother and son, smiled and walked forward. The next second, Chen Lianchun slapped Lu Xiangdong on the shoulder.
"What's wrong with you?"
Lu Xiangdong looked at his mother and frowned, "Mom, what did I do wrong?"
Chen Lianchun was depressed: "Zhou Ling is still behind, why are you walking so fast? Walk slower and talk to Xiaoling..."
After instructing his son, Chen Lianchun went to chase Cui Shufen in front. Lu Xiangdong frowned and looked behind him, waiting for Zhou Ling who was dawdling.
Zhou Ling was walking behind while thinking of a plan. If she left immediately, Cui Shufen would definitely skin her alive when she got home. If she didn't leave now, she would have no chance when she returned.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ling looked around. There was only one way to go home. What would she do if Cui Shufen caught up with her?
She couldn't quarrel with her mother outside. If that got back to the village, she would be too embarrassed to live like a human being.
Zhou Ling subconsciously stopped and looked at Lu Xiangdong, who was about twenty meters away from her, and frowned slightly.
She walked slowly to a place one meter away from Lu Xiangdong and stood there, then asked, "Are you satisfied with this marriage?"
Lu Xiangdong was about to turn around when he looked at Zhou Ling's face, but was stunned when he heard her words.
Girls of this era value being reserved and demure. Even when their fiancée or fiancée goes out together, they will keep a distance of two or three meters between them. In most cases, the man walks in front and the woman follows behind.
But Zhou Ling not only stood only one meter away from Lu Xiangdong, but also asked extremely inappropriate questions.
Lu Xiangdong's expression returned to normal and his eyes moved away from Zhou Ling's face: "Satisfied."
As long as his parents and grandmother are satisfied with his marriage, he will be satisfied.
"real?"
Zhou Ling watched Lu Xiangdong's every move.
He said firmly: "Really!"
Zhou Ling uttered a long "oh". She looked at Cui Shufen and Chen Lianchun, and seeing that they were about thirty or forty meters apart, she smiled faintly.
"Lu Xiangdong, let me ask you, are you willing to marry me?"
Lu Xiangdong's eyes became uncertain, because he didn't want to lie, but some things couldn't be said too bluntly.
"I will be faithful to our marriage."
This is the promise he can make to Zhou Ling.
Zhou Ling looked at Lu Xiangdong and was shocked by his words.
What does he mean?
Loyal to marriage?
"I believe you. So what are your plans for our future?"
future?
Intend?
Lu Xiangdong frowned again. His plan for their future was very simple.
He has several children, and he has to defend his country all his life. Zhou Ling takes his place in fulfilling his filial duties to his parents and grandmother.
"I am responsible for making money to support the family, and you are responsible for taking care of the children and my parents..."
Lu Xiangdong responded to every sentence, and each sentence was very concise and formulaic.
Zhou Ling frowned, thinking that Lu Xiangdong's words were really unpleasant.
She no longer wanted to continue chatting with Lu Xiangdong, as she felt that if they continued, she would most likely kick him.
