Chapter 85 Returning to My Mother's Home



But her job couldn't be changed, but Hao Yuanchao's could. Hao Yuanchao had decided to stay here as an instructor for Jiang Shuyao. Now that she didn't want to stay, there was no need to fight for her job. She could just go back to the army after further studies. Of course, if she said she didn't want to stay at the school to teach and wanted to go back to the army, the Jiang family would definitely make a fuss. After all, it was already agreed.

Jiang Shuyao was not afraid of any commotion, because she would have to leave anyway. However, things took a turn for the worse. Two days ago, Hao Yuanchao's superiors revealed that he would be transferred to the Zhicheng Military Region as a division commander. Military orders are like mountains, and one must obey the transfer order. Hao Yuanchao had a legitimate reason, as it was a military order and a promotion, which was not within his calculations, and he could leave openly.

As for wanting Hao Yuanchao to retire? That was just a spur-of-the-moment remark, not a genuine dissatisfaction with soldiers. In fact, Hao Yuanchao was extremely handsome in uniform. In his previous life, Jiang Shuyao would have been stunned by him in uniform. It was just that Hao Yuanchao broke up with her in the army for his comrades, and died in this world during a mission, which made her feel a little angry.

But in the current situation, Hao Yuanchao's best option was staying in the army. It wasn't because of his high rank, but rather, in the 1960s and 1970s, military status offered a natural shield. No matter how chaotic things were outside, it was hard for the army to reach out. The army was the safest place. Furthermore, the domestic situation was relatively stable. Jiang Shuyao hadn't heard of any major wars in the past decade. Even if one did occur, Hao Yuanchao wouldn't easily go to the front lines, despite his high rank. If life and death were to become a threat, he'd still have the safety of the mountains and forests. If he truly cowardly feared death, how could there be a truly secure job in this world? Therefore, Jiang Shuyao didn't really want Hao Yuanchao to quit his military service.

When Hao Yuanchao heard what Jiang Shuyao said, he shook his head and said, "Don't be impatient, let's talk about it in two days." If he said it now, he would probably be beaten to death by the Jiang family.

"It doesn't matter whether it's two days earlier or later." Jiang Shuyao saw through his thoughts and said in a cold tone.

"Delaying it for two days can be said to be an emergency measure. Now they will think I did it on purpose. Maybe I can take you home on the same day." Hao Yuanchao didn't want to miss the wedding night.

Jiang Shuyao glanced at him without saying anything. It was up to him. Anyway, it was Hao Yuanchao who had to talk about it, so if he got scolded, it wouldn't be her fault.

Seeing this, Hao Yuanchao raised his hand and rubbed her head, "You little heartless girl, you just can't stand seeing me doing well." But his tone was intimate.

Jiang Shuyao slapped his hand decisively, "Your hair is messy."

"Let me smooth it down for you." Even after being beaten, Hao Yuanchao still couldn't help but want to continue pulling Jiang Shuyao's hair by relying on his height.

In her previous life, Jiang Shuyao was 1.72 meters tall. In this life, perhaps due to her living environment, she is only 1.67 meters tall. Compared with Hao Yuanchao's 1.80 meters height, she is really petite. Even the look of her little head tilted back when glaring at people looks a bit more adorable. Hao Yuanchao felt like his heart was melting. If it weren't for the rational string in his mind, he would have wanted to pick up Jiang Shuyao and give her a good beating in the street.

Although he was rational, he had lost his usual composure. Perhaps he was too happy about getting married, and his words and actions were a bit childish. He always wanted to tease Jiang Shuyao, and felt excited when he got her contempt. He exuded an aura of restlessness from head to toe.

Fortunately, he calmed down by the time he got to the restaurant, his slightly silly smile faded a little, and he looked reliable again.

In 1962, the public-private partnership was basically completed. Those old brands either disappeared or changed their names, and there were only a few restaurants left. After three years of hardship, the state issued various tickets, among which food tickets were most closely related to restaurant meals. Without ingredients, the restaurant naturally could not continue to operate. Now, except for specific restaurants that receive important cadres or foreign guests, the only restaurants that ordinary people can go to are state-owned restaurants.

Their banquet today was also held in a state-owned restaurant. The food coupons and meat coupons were prepared early, and not many people were invited. Apart from brothers and sisters, there were only a few close friends and the matchmaker, Director Zhao. There were two large round tables in total. They were related to the staff of the state-owned restaurant in some way, so a small private room was separated by a curtain so that outsiders could not see.

At the dinner table, we showed everyone our marriage certificate, said some auspicious words, ate and drank, and the banquet was over. After all, it was not as good as in the countryside. Although the material conditions were a bit poor, the yard was big, and we could set up any banquet at home. We ate, drank, and chatted as long as we wanted. This state-owned restaurant had business hours, so it didn't delay everyone's normal get off work.

After the meal, relatives and friends went their separate ways and there was no need to clean up the dishes, so the banquet was naturally easy to organize.

The Jiang family said goodbye to their daughter and son-in-law at the door. Seeing that their youngest daughter was leaving with Hao Yuanchao, the Jiang parents felt reluctant to let her go. Although they had felt that way before when their eldest daughter married off, the first two daughters were the eldest after all, and they had younger brothers and sisters. In addition to the reluctance, they felt more relieved. After all, it was not easy to raise five children. Now it was Jiang Shuyao's turn. Not to mention that she was the most favored, she was also the youngest child. Even the youngest in the family was married, which proved that they, as parents, were old. Time passed so quickly.

But no matter how reluctant I am, there is no reason to stop my daughter and son-in-law from going home on the first day of their wedding. In the past few years, many marriage customs were abolished or reduced during the "Four Olds" campaign, but the custom of returning to the parents' home after three days is still accepted in the North City. If I want to go out with my daughter, it must be after the parents' home after three days. She cannot move around freely during these days.

Fortunately, the Hao family has no elders, brothers, sisters-in-law, or sisters-in-law, and Hao Yuanchao seems to like Jiang Shuyao. There is no need to worry that Jiang Shuyao will be bullied or wronged after marrying him. This is also a consolation.
