Hu Qinghua smiled warmly, indicating that her future mother-in-law was an easy-going and gentle person.
Then she understood what was going on and glanced at Xiao Zhouye, who was playing with a toy gun to the side.
She then smiled and said:
"What's the Qilian Mountains like there? Can you tell me about it?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Meiling quickly told her about the situation in the family compound.
There are four people sitting here, and the other one is Aunt Lü, the political commissar's wife.
Aunt Lü watched quietly from the side, occasionally adding a comment.
Seeing the harmonious scene, Aunt Lü suddenly said:
"I heard your mom is really good to your stepfather's child. I didn't expect you to have such a good personality. You must have inherited Comrade Jiang's excellent qualities."
Hu Qinghua smiled faintly, glanced quickly at Aunt Lü, and said to Shen Meiling:
“My mom has her own difficulties; being a stepmother is tough.”
These words immediately struck a chord with Shen Meiling, who was also a stepmother. Fortunately, her children from her first marriage were grown up, so she rarely needed to interfere.
She was also afraid that others would say she was biased and call her a vicious stepmother.
"yes!"
Aunt Lü sighed.
"If you ask me, there are many good stepmothers, such as Sister Shen, and Comrade Jiang's lover."
However, I think Comrade Jiang's wife, oh, now it's Sister Hu, sometimes even calls Comrade Jiang by the wrong stepdaughter's name. Sigh, it's clear she cares too much about her reputation.
This will inevitably hurt Comrade Jiang's feelings.
Shen Meiling, sitting opposite, was surprised and nodded, also feeling that Zhang Cuifen had used a bit too much force.
But they are still your own children. How can you love someone else's child more than your own?
"Good boy, when we get to the family compound, just tell me if you need anything, don't be shy with your auntie."
Hu Qinghua nodded and smiled in response, while Xiao Zhouye, sitting opposite them, tilted his head in confusion to look at them.
They were chatting and laughing as they sat on the train heading towards the Qilian Mountains.
Jiang Wenwan was also preparing to leave. During this time, she had hunted two deer and obtained four excellent deer antlers.
"Jiang Zhiqing, why have I seen you going to the county so often lately?"
After Lan Xiang weighed out the pig feed for Jiang Wenwan, he asked, puzzled.
Jiang Wenwan smiled and said mysteriously:
"I recently started learning medicine from Elder Zhang at the clinic, and I've encountered many difficult medical questions."
"Studying medicine is really not easy, it's so difficult."
Lanxiang knew this; Old Zhang from the clinic had even visited their village.
The main goal was to get Jiang Wenwan to work at the clinic, but she refused. Instead, she spent her days in the village going up the mountain to collect all sorts of good things and bringing them to the hundred acres of land in the space.
Why go to the clinic when you might leave at any time?
Lanxiang Vocational School expressed its feelings.
“Then Jiang Zhiqing, you should study hard and get a medical license in the future so that you can treat the villagers and won’t have to do the work of cutting pig feed anymore.”
Jiang Wenwan simply smiled at this.
The captain hurriedly rode over on his bicycle.
"Hey hey hey!"
Jiang Wenwan clicked her tongue twice and jumped aside, and the captain stopped the car in time.
After getting off the bicycle, he looked at Jiang Wenwan and said anxiously:
"Jiang Zhiqing, come to my house! I have something important to tell you!"
Jiang Wenwan and Lan Xiang exchanged glances.
"Captain, what important matter has happened?"
Lanxiang shook his head.
"I don't know. Jiang Zhiqing, you go ahead and take the pig feed to the pigpen for me."
Hearing him say that, Jiang Wenwan didn't stand on ceremony with him and followed the brigade leader to his house.
The captain pushed the cart into the yard first, then turned around and saw that she hadn't arrived yet. He waved to her anxiously.
"Jiang Zhiqing, hurry! Something terrible has happened!"
Jiang Wenwan's lips twitched. She wondered what could be so important. Could it be that the captain was about to undergo a tribulation?
"Captain, why are you in such a hurry? What's the matter?"
"Hey, hurry up! My lifelong reputation is ruined!"
Come in quickly, come with me.
Jiang Wenwan was now truly curious; she had never seen the captain so anxious before.
The old man always kept his hands behind his back, focusing solely on production and avoiding any other business.
Is this sudden urgency related to yourself?
After Jiang Wenwan came in, the captain immediately let her into the room and showed her a small piece of paper.
It was a telegram.
The telegram was sent by Zhou Yunting, and it was addressed to the battalion commander.
This means that he is Zhou Yunting. He was sent to the countryside as an educated youth with a mission. Now he has submitted a marriage application with Jiang Wenwan and it has been approved.
Ask if Jiang Wenwan has returned to the city yet.
Jiang Wenwan smiled as she looked at the note, her heart and eyes filled with joy, her heart warmed, and she felt a sweetness that melted into honey.
The captain bent over, opened the cabinet, and showed Jiang Wenwan the previous report on returning to the city.
"Jiang Zhiqing, are you getting married to Zhou Yunting?"
"Yes! Didn't Captain Yunting make it very clear in his report this week?"
You all know I have a girlfriend in the military, right?
Actually, it's Comrade Zhou. He used to be a sent-down youth here; you know him too.
The captain sighed and took out a piece of paper, placing it on the table.
“Look at this, it’s really…”
As he spoke, he chopped a pinch of tobacco into the bowl of his pipe, lit it, and took two deep drags.
"How could the name be written wrong on this transfer certificate?"
Look, there's another line of text below: Top Secret!
If Comrade Zhou hadn't sent me a telegram, I would still be strictly adhering to the highest level of secrecy. Tell me, what's going on here?
Could it be that Comrade Zhou's family disagrees? Is that why...?
Jiang Wenwan had long since regained her composure, and shook her head, saying:
"You don't know, my father died in the line of duty to save Comrade Zhou and his father. His family would not object to our marriage. So, it is obvious that someone is up to no good."
The captain sighed, his brows furrowed so deeply they could crush a Siberian tiger.
He puffed on the welding fumes, his face full of worry.
"If Comrade Zhou hadn't sent me a telegram inquiring about me, I would have... I really... sigh!"
What do we do now?
Jiang Wenwan smiled.
"I've already asked him to send another copy of our marriage certificate. You just need to give me a letter of introduction then."
The captain glanced at her, then pondered as he smoked the welding fumes.
After a long pause, he said angrily:
"This is a very serious matter! No, we absolutely cannot tolerate it."
Okay, come with me to the county now, we'll go find Secretary Kang. He was the one who approved the third-class merit award last time.
"Let's go find him. The commune has a phone number; let's call the Qilian Mountain Military Region right now."
Jiang Wenwan nodded and then shook her head.
"Right now, Comrade Zhou should be on his way to take up his post in the Qilian Mountains."
Hu Qinghua is going back to Tang City, and then he may go to the Qilian Mountains.
So at this point, they should all be on the road, and you won't be able to reach them by phone.
The captain paused, then thought about what she said and realized it made sense.
If we can't find the person in question, we can't let the person in question tell Secretary Kang and the others about this matter in person, but can we rely on just this telegram?
