Chapter 16 Confused Lu Xiaolan
After leaving Lu's house, the two of them no longer wanted to see the new house, and went directly to the county town.
On the way, both of them were a little silent.
"Comrade Su Mo, thank you just now." Thank you for your respect for a revolutionary veteran, and thank you for making an old man's long-cherished wish come true.
"You're welcome, Grandpa Lu is a respectable senior."
Aura is really a metaphysics. The first time Su Mo saw Lu Boying, she felt that he was a respectable person.
"When my grandfather was born, it was still the Qing Dynasty, and then there were all kinds of turmoil. My grandfather was also an advanced person at the time and wanted to join the revolution. But he was the only son in the family, and my grandfather told him that he had to stay with his grandson before he could go."
"So, my grandfather married my grandma in a hurry, and when my father was born, he only took one look at him and left home to join the revolution. For many years afterwards, he only came back occasionally to take a look, and my grandma took care of the family. It was not until my father grew up and got married that my grandfather retired because of his injury."
"After retiring, he was not idle. He often secretly prepared food and had people transport it to the front line. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he did not take a position assigned by the state. The disability allowance was still directly arranged by the leaders who came at that time."
Lu Boying receives a monthly disability allowance, which was 8 yuan at the beginning and now 18 yuan.
"I was still young at the time, and asked him why he didn't become an official. He said that compared to his colleagues who had died long ago, he was lucky to still be alive. His original intention of joining the revolution was to drive away the invaders, and now that his goal has been achieved, there is no need to ask for more from the country. What's more, at the beginning of the founding of the country, there was a lot of work to be done, and positions should be left to more capable people."
"The dedication of their generation is really beyond our reach. My grandmother took care of the whole family alone and had no complaints about my grandfather; my grandfather fought for the revolution for most of his life, but turned around and left after the success without asking for a penny. There were too many people like this in their generation."
"Yes, they are all people worthy of admiration. They have suffered all the hardships and left the sweetness for their descendants. We should not forget their efforts and strive to live the way they want." Su Mo said.
"Yes!" Lu Changzheng nodded vigorously.
"Comrade Su Mo, I would like to make a solemn request again, and I hope you can approve it. I will return to the army in 15 days, and I hope to form a revolutionary partner with you before returning to the army."
"Not only because of my grandfather's health, but also because I urgently want to start a family with you. I hope you can consider it."
Su Mo thought that meeting Grandpa Lu was a trick of Lu Changzheng, but when she really met him, she knew that it was not a trick of Lu Changzheng, but that the old man really wanted to see her.
Now that the heirloom has been taken over by someone else, there is nothing to be pretentious about.
"Okay." Su Mo agreed. Everyone got what they needed. He needed to get married as soon as possible, and she needed a separate place to live. Since they didn't dislike each other, they could live together.
Lu Changzheng's heart settled instantly, and he drove a lot faster.
"Then I'll ask my mother to go to the educated youth point to propose marriage tomorrow. When we get to the county town, I'll call the army and apply for marriage. When the application is approved, we'll get the marriage certificate."
Su Mo was not too worried about the political review. When she went to the countryside, Su Tingqian told the original owner to relax and that he had someone handle it and would not leave any handle for others. It was estimated that it would not be a big problem.
"We'll go to the county town today and take wedding photos." Lu Changzheng made clear arrangements.
"Ah? I'm not wearing festive enough clothes today, so it's not suitable for wedding photos, right?" After adapting to the speed, Su Mo also calmed down.
"Then take one today, and then take another one in festive clothes on the day of getting the marriage certificate. My wife is so beautiful, no matter what she wears, she will definitely look good in photos. I will bring some photos to the army and make those guys jealous."
"You are so good at talking, how many girls have you deceived before?" This guy started to speak sweet words, even calling his wife.
"Wife, you are wronging me. For all these years, I have only liked a little girl like you." When the dust settled, Lu Changzheng stopped being so reserved and began to recover his somewhat ruffian nature. "I can be very serious in front of others, but I am only like this in front of you, wife."
"But you were not like this in front of me just now?"
"Hehe... Comrade Su, you haven't agreed to be my wife just now, so I was afraid of scaring you away."
"Aren't you afraid of scaring me away now?"
Lu Changzheng whistled, "No, Comrade Su is not a person who goes back on his word."
...
Lu Changzheng and Su Mo rode their bikes, talking and laughing as they passed by the gate of the commune's supply and marketing cooperative, without noticing Lu Xiaolan, whose eyes were almost popping out of the window at the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative.
What's going on? When did her third brother and the Su educated youth become so close? They were still talking and laughing, and it seemed that their relationship was very special.
Wasn't her third brother going to meet the female soldiers in the art troupe? What happened now?
Lu Xiaolan was extremely anxious. Why didn't anyone come to her house to tell her what was going on?
If they didn't want to meet, they should tell her in advance so that she could let her husband tell the director of the Women's Federation to avoid any trouble.
Her husband Yang Jingming was an organizational officer of the Red Flag Commune. It was the director of the Women's Federation, Liu Guangying, who found Yang Jingming and said that she had a niece in the army art troupe and wanted to meet her third brother. After Yang Jingming told her, she thought that the other party's conditions were not bad, so she made the connection.
Lu Xiaolan finally made it to noon. She skipped lunch and rode her bike to the Lujia Village Brigade.
When Lu Xiaolan arrived, the Lu family was having lunch. Li Yue'e heard her daughter's voice and her heart skipped a beat. She came back in the middle of the day. Did she have a quarrel with her aunt?
Lu Xiaolan rushed to the main room, poured herself a glass of cold water, drank it down in gulps, and then said, "Mom, what's going on with my third brother and Su Zhiqing? Why did I see them on the same bike this morning, talking and laughing, as if they were going to the county town?"
"Oh, they're dating."
"What? They're dating, why didn't you tell me? Didn't you agree to meet the day after tomorrow?" Lu Xiaolan was really anxious.
"I was going to go to the commune to tell you this afternoon, but I haven't had time yet."
"Oh, you are really my dear mother. Can this matter be delayed? You should have come to tell me early this morning. It's almost the end, and this happened." Lu Xiaolan was really angry. What's going on?
"How can I tell Director Liu about this?"
Lu Boming cleared his throat and said, "Qing'an, go with Xiaolan this afternoon, bring snacks and two bottles of wine. We were really wrong about this matter, and we should apologize to them."
"Okay, I got it, Dad." Li Yue'e responded quickly. She respected her father-in-law very much.
Fortunately, she didn't tell him the final word at the beginning, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with.
"Old lady, have you eaten?" Li Yue'e asked again.
Lu Xiaolan shook her head. She was so anxious that she almost died. How could she eat ?
"Daya, go get a pair of bowls and chopsticks for your sister-in-law." Li Yue'e instructed Lu Fengqin, the lady of Lu Da Ge, and then comforted Lu Xiaolan: "Don't worry, Mom will talk to her in the afternoon."
