She parked her car outside the train station and immediately rushed inside.
The platform was bustling with people.
Guan Wenru was wearing a red floral dress today. She had a slender figure and a bright face. She stood quietly in a relatively quiet place with few people, her eyes focused on the direction from which the train was coming.
Although it has been 73 years now, the Cultural Revolution is not over yet. She shouldn't have worn a skirt, because it would have attracted the attention of some people and caused them trouble.
But she wore this dress on the day she and He Yanzhi got their marriage certificate.
She's wearing this dress now, so maybe when she can't find He Yanzhi, he can find her!
Guan Wenru is so beautiful and has such a great temperament. Plus, she's dressed so well. Just standing there, doing nothing, is like a beautiful sight to behold.
People passing by couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.
One of the men hesitated for a long time before finally mustering the courage to approach. He cleared his throat and said, "Ahem... Miss... Hello! Are you waiting for someone? Do you need any help?"
Guan Wenru turned her head upon hearing the voice, smiled politely, and said in a clear voice, "Thank you, comrade. No need to trouble yourself. I'm waiting for my husband."
husband?
Upon hearing those two words, the man visibly paused, his face slightly flushed. "Oh! Okay... okay! Sorry to bother you!"
He walked away quickly, looking slightly embarrassed.
Not long after, another man in a Zhongshan suit, who looked refined, strolled over.
He adjusted his glasses, his smile gentle. "Hello comrade, have you been standing here alone for a long time? Are you waiting for a relative?"
Guan Wenru maintained her polite smile and responded frankly, "Yes, I'm waiting for my husband. He's coming back on this train."
The man's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered. "Oh? So you're waiting for your lover... Your lover is so lucky. Are you from the provincial capital?"
Guan Wenru smiled and shook her head, her gaze returning to the distant railway tracks. "No, thank you for your concern, my husband is almost here."
Her tone was gentle, but it conveyed a sense of detachment that demanded no disturbance.
The man nodded tactfully, "Then I won't bother you any longer."
A little while later, two kind-looking elderly women carrying bundles came over together.
They looked Guan Wenru up and down, their eyes shining.
The woman in blue leaned closer to Guan Wenru, her voice quite loud, "Girl! Are you here alone? Look how pretty you are! How old are you? Do you have a boyfriend?"
"..." Guan Wenru was both amused and exasperated. What was going on?
She didn't do anything to offend anyone!
But she had a very good temper and patiently explained, "Auntie, I'm married. I'm just waiting for my husband to get off the bus."
The woman in gray looked regretful, but she wasn't giving up. "Oh my! Married? You look so young! Young lady, what does your husband do? Let me tell you, I have a nephew who works as a technician in a state-owned factory in the provincial capital! He's honest and well-off! If... if you think your husband isn't suitable, why not consider my nephew?"
"Pfft!" Guan Wenru was amused by the old lady's enthusiasm and waved her hand with a smile, "Auntie, thank you for your kindness! I really do have a husband, and we have a very good relationship. You see, I came here specifically to pick him up, didn't I? My husband is a soldier."
Upon hearing that he was a soldier, the elderly woman in gray showed great respect, but also felt a little embarrassed. "Oh my! You're a military dependent! My apologies for not recognizing you! Soldiers are good! They protect our country! Your husband is truly blessed to have married such a beautiful wife like you!"
The woman in blue quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes! A perfect match! Girl, you wait here! I won't bother you any longer!"
The two elderly women had only taken a few steps when the train's whistle sounded as it approached the station, growing louder and louder.
The crowd began to stir.
The train has finally arrived at the station!
