There is nothing special about this outfit. It is just that it is inconvenient to wear a skirt in the countryside, so few people wear it except for little girls who like to be coquettish.
She still took the small road today. She didn't want to be asked where she was going. It's better to have less trouble than more.
What I fear most is meeting familiar and unfamiliar people along the way. What’s even more outrageous is that I don’t even know the names of some of them.
Especially the young wives who just got married in recent years and the little kids who are a few years old. They have spent less time at home in recent years and I haven’t seen many of them.
The road after passing the production team's edge became much easier to walk on. After a while, we reached the main road, which was much flatter.
When I was almost at the main road, I saw Gu Qingbei waiting by the roadside pushing a cart.
It was obvious that he had seen her coming, so Jiang Mengxue didn't hesitate and walked forward to greet her.
"Brother Gu, why are you here?"
"Wait, the road here is easy to walk on, let's go by bike."
Jiang Mengxue walked closer and found that Gu Qingbei was pushing a brand new Forever bicycle, not the one he had borrowed from a friend a few days ago.
Perhaps sensing the confusion in Jiang Mengxue's eyes, Gu Qingbei didn't keep her in suspense and began to explain, "I happen to have a bicycle ticket. I asked a friend to help me buy it yesterday. If I go to the department store myself, I might have to wait a few months before I can pick up the bicycle."
Jiang Mengxue understood that now you have to queue up to buy a car. It is rare to pick up the car on the same day. At least one can get the car in one or two months. If you don’t have acquaintances, you may have to wait for half a year or a year.
"Have you eaten yet? I brought some buns, you can eat some first to fill your stomach."
Gu Qingbei had a dozen buns wrapped in oil paper in his hand, which he had made that morning. Of course, he didn't say this.
The buns were just the size of xiaolongbao, so Jiang Mengxue didn’t feel too stressed when eating them.
"Let's go to the Commune Square first and then have dinner."
The two didn't say anything on the way, mainly because they were a little embarrassed. Although they were not strangers before, they didn't know much about each other. Now they suddenly met as blind dates, so it was inevitable that they felt a little uncomfortable.
Jiang Mengxue didn't know what two people on a blind date should talk about when they meet.
I could only sit in the back seat and eat the buns bite by bite. To be honest, they tasted really good. I wonder where Gu Qingbei bought them. Could it be that he had gone to the commune early in the morning?
The road was good, so riding a bicycle was much faster. When he arrived at the commune, Gu Qingbei parked the bike in the parking shed, locked it, and paid two cents to the old man. Someone would watch the bike, otherwise, with the current security situation, the bike would be gone as soon as he left.
Gu Qingbei took Jiang Mengxue to a lakeside where there were several small pavilions. The two were planning to find a quiet place to talk, so they walked in and sat down.
"that…"
"that…"
Neither of them knew how to start, but they spoke at the same time. They looked at each other and felt a little embarrassed, then lowered their heads and smiled.
It was Gu Qingbei who spoke first: "You should speak first."
Jiang Mengxue didn't act pretentiously and said, "I heard from my second aunt before that you joined the army very early. You should stay in the army in the future, right?"
“Well, I was hot-blooded back then. I was only twelve years old, but relying on my height, I told others I was sixteen and went straight with the army.
I am 28 years old and have spent half of my life in the army. If nothing unexpected happens, I will dedicate the rest of my life to my country."
After thinking about it all night, Jiang Mengxue had already started to back down.
To be honest, Jiang Mengxue was not an ambitious person in both of her lives. In her previous life, her family was well-off, and she studied medicine because she had been influenced by her grandfather since she was a child. She couldn't say that she liked it very much.
Since her parents passed away, her plan was to hire someone to help manage the supermarket after graduation, and then buy a few more houses and become a small landlady, doing nothing every day and doing whatever she wanted.
In this life, she accidentally became a doctor, but she just planned to live a quiet life and work day by day without thinking about making a big splash. Anyway, she had enough food and drink now.
As for when I have money in the future, I can buy some houses and collect rent. I can save a lot of money in the next twenty years.
But it was obvious that Gu Qingbei's situation was the opposite of hers. He seemed to be a man with ideals and ambitions. His parents were also soldiers, so he must have been a man of decisive character.
She was really a little worried that their personalities wouldn't get along.
Gu Qingbei was also a little nervous. He noticed that Jiang Mengxue seemed to be thinking and did not seem very satisfied with him. She seemed to be thinking about how to refuse him. He wondered if he had said something wrong just now.
Jiang Mengxue didn't want to beat around the bush. They had just met, and although they had some feelings for each other, it wasn't that serious. It would be better for them to just start chatting.
After organizing his words, he said, "I admire soldiers. They are positive, proactive, and upbeat. But I've been thinking about it all night. I'm not that strong-willed. I just want to get by. I don't have big ambitions. Are our personalities not that compatible?"
Gu Qingbei obviously didn't expect that this was what Jiang Mengxue wanted to say. He thought she didn't like him.
"Why would you think so? Two people living together need complementary personalities. I'm looking for a wife to live with, not a comrade. If you don't want to work hard, then don't. You can just stay home. My allowance is more than enough to support you. Besides, I'm my parents' only son, so theirs is mine too. They give me their savings every year, so you don't have to worry about supporting the family at all."
He also hadn't heard of any comrade who wanted his wife to be strong and just stay at home to take care of the housework, raise the children and take care of the elderly.
