Chapter 2 Captain Gu, are you here for a blind date too?
"I won't marry Gu Liancheng. Whoever of you can persuade him to marry me can do it." The girl who was being persuaded became anxious and didn't care that the person being persuaded was her married sister.
Gu Jiaoxia was so happy: "If you don't want to marry, then don't marry. This marriage is invalid. We can marry our own people and have nothing to do with each other in the future."
"No, that won't work." An Qihui was about to be mad at her wayward sister. In order to give her sister a way back, she made a request to the Gu family: "Gu Liancheng cannot go on blind dates or get married within one year. This is a debt that your Gu family owes to us sisters in the An family."
Gu Jiaoxia wanted to beat her to death: "Our family is worthy of your An family. It is your sister who regretted the marriage. Didn't you hear her say that she already has someone she likes? This time, no matter what, I will not agree to your unreasonable request!"
…
Jiang Zhen didn't mean to watch the fun downstairs. She lived upstairs and the stairs were blocked. She was forced to listen to all the gossip and couldn't understand why the bride didn't get married.
Jiang Zhen could find out the reason by exploring the other party's memory, but the girl would not be able to survive, and her curiosity was not that great.
Soon the crowd in front automatically parted, and a tall man in a neatly ironed military uniform came down.
He held the boutonniere that was originally pinned on his chest in his hand, and without any hesitation on his handsome face, he threw the boutonniere that represented the groom into the trash can beside him.
It was him, the soldier who gave Jiang Zhen sweet potatoes and water at the foot of the mountain where bandits were suppressed, the uncle that Gu Pan and Gu Hui had always talked about, the second brother of the head nurse Gu Jiaoxia, whose new wife ruthlessly broke off the engagement.
Such a good-looking man, with broad shoulders and narrow back, a good figure, a handsome face, and decent abilities, would be a well-known figure in the last days. If you want to break off the engagement with such a husband, it can only be said that you have never tasted real hardship and don't know how good an allowance of seventy or eighty yuan a month would be.
Because he was Gu Pan and Gu Hui's uncle, and had once given them a meal at the foot of the mountain, when their eyes met, Jiang Zhen smiled at him.
Jiang Zhen didn't receive a smile in return. The man had a resolute expression on his face and stared at Jiang Zhen for several seconds without moving his eyes away.
Jiang Zhen could understand the feeling of being broken off from engagement. She thought that her smile just now was inappropriate, so she bit her tongue quietly and hurriedly ran into the corridor to avoid his sight.
Gu Liancheng recognized Jiang Zhen. They had talked for a few words at the foot of the mountain while suppressing bandits. She gave her name, but he didn't.
After returning from the bandit suppression mission, every time Gu Pan and Gu Hui mentioned Aunt Jiang, they would cover their throats and be unable to speak, as if they were cursed, so I looked at her a few more times just now.
He repeated her name several times in his mind and did not feel any discomfort. She was just like an ordinary person, nothing special.
…
Jiang Zhen's dormitory was upstairs, and the bride was getting married downstairs. She had to pass by her window to go home. Her family members were gathered at the door, scolding her: "You won't marry Gu Liancheng, so what kind of man do you want to marry? Just tell me!"
"After causing such an ugly scandal, what kind of good in-laws can you talk about in the future? Go apologize to Gu Liancheng and say that you said it in anger and there is no one you like outside. Wait until Gu Liancheng calms down, then you can get married."
"No, if you say you don't want to marry, then don't marry. If you think he's good, just go ahead and marry him."
Jiang Zhen glanced into the house and saw the girl who was clamoring not to get married. She looked at Jiang Zhen across the crowd and felt her hair stand on end.
It's different now, everything is different. Before her rebirth, Gu Liancheng died in the battle against bandits. The organization took care of her and arranged an administrative job for her in the hospital. However, she spoiled the two children of Gu Liancheng's eldest brother. One of them went to jail, and the other was in love and went crazy.
After rebirth, Gu Liancheng was not dead, but came back safe and sound. When she saw his eyes, she knew that Gu Liancheng was also reborn. How could she dare to marry him and she decisively broke off the engagement.
And there was Jiang Zhen, who was a big news story back then. She was killed by bandits on her way to find her eldest brother-in-law with her two children.
One of the two children escaped, and the other ended up in a bandit's den. The one who escaped came back for revenge a few years later, only to find out that the bandit was hired to kill someone arranged by his aunt.
But now Jiang Zhen is not dead, and many things are different from before. She is afraid and must break off the engagement.
…
Jiang Zhen and Gu Liancheng's broken-off fiancée looked at each other and immediately realized that there was something wrong with the other's memory, there was overlap. Although they couldn't see the overlapping parts clearly, the overlapping memories belonged to the old time before the flashback.
This kind of retrospective ability exists in the end times. She thinks it may be related to the earthquake caused by the previous mirage.
When I got home, Jiang Zhao was cooking.
Jiang Zhen had no talent in cooking, so Jiang Zhao, the older child, took on the responsibility of housework. The younger Jiang Tang also helped, picking and washing vegetables with Jiang Zhen. Jiang Zhen told him about his plan to attend a social gathering organized by the stationed troops and hospital units, which was also a blind date gathering.
"Mom, are you going to find a new dad?" Jiang Tang felt insecure, afraid that the new dad would not like her and her brother.
"Well, you have to find someone with a local hukou so that you can settle down and get a job."
Jiang Zhen's expression was calm, neither happy nor repulsive. She just wanted to live together. If it was good, it was good. If it was not, they would divorce. None of the men here could beat her if they fought alone. If they wanted to commit domestic violence, get drunk, or be chauvinistic, they would seek their own death in front of her, but she was not panicked at all.
"If you have any opinions about the new father, you can raise them and I will find him according to your requirements."
Ginger Candy bit her finger and said, "Mom, I think the new dad can cook."
"Okay, I'll ask during the blind date." Jiang Zhen asked the other one: "Jiang Zhao, what are your requirements for your new father?"
Jiang Zhao's hand holding the spatula trembled: "Mom, I don't have any requirements, just watch it."
Jiang Zhao steadied his hands and continued to wield the spatula. He must be more capable. He must be a useful child to his mother so as not to be abandoned, right?
Also, my mother’s cooking was also bad, but her temper was changeable, and you couldn’t predict when she would get angry.
But since encountering the bandits, his mother's temper became more easy-going, and she hasn't said a harsh word to him for several days. He likes his mother now, but is this still the same mother?
He didn't dare to think about it, nor did he need to think about it. As long as his mother always wanted him, that was enough.
…
Jiang Zhen ate the food cooked by Jiang Zhao and thought it tasted better than yesterday. He praised: "Jiang Zhao, how come you are so good? The food you cook is so delicious. Mom can't live without you."
Jiang Zhao was shy and happy, holding the bowl and smiling sadly: "Thank you, Mom."
"Mom, I can be even better." Jiang Tang pulled Jiang Zhen's hand and eagerly boasted: "Today I picked vegetables as fast as mom."
Jiang Zhen had never been flattered like this before, so he softened his heart: "Okay, you and your brother are both amazing."
The Jiang Zhen of the past had never been so close to the two children. After spending these few days together, the relationship between the two children and her has warmed up sharply. They are afraid that Jiang Zhen will suddenly disappear like she did in the past.
As long as mom doesn't leave, it doesn't matter if there is a new dad.
Jiang Zhen really likes life in Fancheng. She can be allocated housing, work in the hospital easily, and has two children to take care of the housework. She only needs to receive a monthly salary and does not have to wander around or worry about mutant beasts suddenly appearing.
The air is fragrant, the water is sweet, and although food is in short supply, it is distributed according to household registration, which is much better than the end of the world.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhen began to look forward to the blind date.
…
Jiang Zhen wanted to attend the blind date at the social gathering, and it was Gu Jiaoxia who encouraged him. Now his second brother has broken off the engagement with the An family, or it was the An family who broke off the engagement first, and he is willing to go on a blind date again. Gu Jiaoxia immediately thought of Jiang Zhen.
Gu Jiaoxia played the emotional card: "Jiang Zhen, if you don't mind that my brother was broken off from engagement, you can meet him on the day of the blind date. Gu Pan and Gu Hui mentioned you a lot."
Gu Liancheng? Jiang Zhen blurted out: "But my ex-husband married into the An family, and his fiancée who broke off the engagement was also from the An family, is that appropriate?"
"What kind of ex-husband is he? He's not. The An family argued that the custom of marriage in the Republic of China is not valid in the new China. Why do you have to keep it in mind? Just tell me if you are willing. If you are willing, I will talk to my brother right away."
Jiang Zhen thinks that he has excellent conditions, and Gu Liancheng is equally excellent in this world. Their personal conditions are similar, and they each have two children. The scales are even, and no one takes advantage or suffers a loss. What a great and equal relationship.
Jiang Zhen's heart was pounding, and he couldn't help asking Jiang Zhao and Jiang Tang: "Gu Pan and Gu Hui's little uncle, do you like him?"
Children naturally admire people in military uniforms. Plus, the children they were with were Gu Pan and Gu Hui. Jiang Zhao was very willing and nodded quickly. Jiang Tang was also willing and nodded obediently.
Jiang Zhen agreed: "I'll talk to him on the day of the blind date."
…
There were really a lot of people coming to the "social gathering" today. Many doctors and nurses from Qingcheng Hospital came for the social gathering, and many single soldiers from the stationed troops also came. Jiang Zhen started talking to Gu Liancheng in the secluded place agreed upon with Gu Jiaoxia.
Jiang Zhen is confident in herself. She is like a blind box. She keeps giving surprises after marriage. Anyone who marries her is very lucky.
"Captain Gu, are you here for a blind date too?"
Jiang Zhen's opening was quite direct. As soon as Gu Liancheng took up the conversation, she would immediately put forward conditions. If it was okay, it was okay. If not, she would keep looking for someone. Gu Jiaoxia had already said that if the deal failed, they would pretend that nothing had happened.
"Well, come and take a look, and then we'll talk about it if we find the right one."
After a few pleasantries, Gu Liancheng didn't buy into her words. Jiang Zhen felt that there was little hope, and there was no way to discuss the subsequent conditions.
Gu Liancheng didn't dare to hope for Jiang Zhen's conditions. He had just digested the experience of rebirth and reported it to the organization. Based on the results of the current investigation, it was speculated that there was an explosion of an unknown energy field, and the people affected had gone back in time, and he might not be the only one.
The organization approved his request to go on a blind date and start a family, but he set a principle for himself that he would only look for someone to marry by agreement, without emotional involvement.
Jiang Zhen is young and beautiful. They go on blind dates and get married just to live together. He is not suitable for her and she cannot waste his time.
What's more, if Jiang Zhen heard his blind date conditions, he would probably scold him.
