On the way home, Lu Hai kept showing off that he also had a partner.
I just got home and saw that the whole family was still awake and watching black and white TV.
Lu Hai walked to the TV, blocked the black and white TV, and announced loudly.
"I'm dating someone today. From today on, I'm also a person with a partner."
Father Lu asked anxiously, "What? You're dating someone? Who is it? You have a childhood marriage, so you can't date someone."
Lu Hai was like being struck by lightning, and walked to Lu's father in a daze.
"What? I had a childhood engagement, how come I didn't know? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Now I'm dating someone, and I won't recognize my childhood engagement partner."
Father Lu looked at the lonely Lu Hai and touched his head.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have agreed to my brother's request out of consideration for his feelings. You weren't even born then, so I didn't consider your feelings."
Lu Hai asked angrily, "Who is it? Who is my childhood sweetheart? She was betrothed before I was even born."
Looking at the angry Lu Hai, Lu's father whispered back: "Her name is Gu Ranran, she is an educated youth who just came to our brigade."
Lu Hai asked in disbelief, "What's her name? Is it really Gu Ranran? Or is she the new educated youth? Is she the one who got along well with Zhang Tiantian and ate at the captain's house?"
Father Lu anxiously comforted him, "Yes, that's her. Don't rush to cause trouble for her. It's not easy for a little girl to come to the countryside. I'll write to her father tomorrow, and we can call off this child engagement."
Lu Hai suddenly burst into laughter and then hugged his father tightly.
"I can't back out. I can't back out. The person I'm dating is Gu Ranran. Dad, you're amazing. You actually found such a good person for me. Now I don't have to worry about my parents-in-law disagreeing. Ranran and I are together. Ranran and I are indeed a destined couple. It's really a matter of fate that brings us together."
Father Lu broke free from Lu Hai's embrace and asked in disbelief, "The person you're dating is Gu Ranran? This is good. I don't have to write to my old friend to cancel the child engagement. If I cancel the child engagement, he will definitely continue to feel guilty."
Lu Hai asked curiously, "Dad, how did you get the chance to arrange an engagement with Ran Ran's father? Ran Ran's family is in Jing City, so far away from us."
Father Lu sat down and slowly recalled the past.
"At that time, I went to the battlefield with Ranran's father. I was shot twice in the leg while saving Ranran's father's leg. The injury was serious and could not be recovered after treatment, so I had to retire.
Then it was Ranran's father who brought me back. Because my injuries were so severe, I had to stay in bed for a month before I could get out. After I came back, my family knew about this and they were unwilling to take care of me.
Everyone in the village said that I would have to lie in bed for the rest of my life and would never be able to get married, and that I was a useless person.
When Ranran's father heard this, he became very angry and said on the spot that he would find a doctor to treat me so that I could get out of bed and walk and live a normal life. He would also find me a wife and marry his daughter to me.
The villagers didn't believe it, so Ranran's father wrote a certificate on the spot, bit his finger and pressed his fingerprint.
Later, Ranran's father took care of me while looking for a wife for me, but he couldn't find one.
After I was discharged from the army, I got a job at the commune's steel mill. Because my injuries were so severe, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to work, and I didn't want to take this job, and I didn't want to take care of my family.
I told Ranran’s father that I could use this job to find a wife for me so that I would have someone to take care of me.
After Ranran's father spread the news, your mother came to the door on her own initiative.
Your mother's parents died early, and it was her brother who raised her. Because her family was poor, her brother couldn't find a wife, and as he got older, she became more and more worried.
The matchmaker said it would be easier to find a wife if I had a job. When he heard that I wanted to trade my job for a wife, he came to my door anxiously.
Seeing your mother's hard work, Ranran's father took the initiative to find your uncle. Ranran's father wrote a certificate to prove that he would definitely cure me and bear all the expenses.
Your mother also knelt down and begged your uncle, saying that their family's incense must not be cut off, and your uncle agreed.
Ranran's father saw how well your mother took care of me, so he returned to the army. After returning to the army, he sent me money every month and sent me delicious food to nourish my body.
After your mother took care of me for a month, I was able to get out of bed and walk. Ranran's father came back to hold a banquet for me and took your mother and me to the commune to get the marriage certificate.
Later, Ranran's father wanted to buy me a job, but I refused. Ranran's father kept the money and returned to the army angrily.
Ranran sent me money again, but I refused it, which made Ranran's father even angrier. Later, I went directly to the commune and called Ranran's father, saying that if he sent me money again, I would be angry and cut off all contact with him.
Ranran's father was even more angry and stopped writing to me. He just asked the team leader to take care of me secretly. It was only after Ranran was born that he started writing to me.
Ranran's father wrote to tell me that he was going to the countryside. But he was worried that you two would be disgusted by the child marriage, so he planned to wait for a while after Ranran went to the countryside before telling you two.
After listening, Lu Jiang said to Lu Hai, "You two are not only destined to meet each other across thousands of miles, but you were engaged before your parents even got married. You must have been a couple in your previous life, right?"
Lu Hai became even happier after hearing what Lu Jiang said.
"Of course she is. No wonder I felt familiar with Ranran the first time I saw her. Later, when I touched her hand, my heart started beating fast. I felt like she was mine."
