In the blink of an eye, it was spring 1965.
Xie Heng now knew that it wasn't easy to hook up with girls in the city, and he figured out what Zhang Dabing's family was up to. However, Xie Heng also knew that the Zhang family was the best arrangement for him.
Thinking about Xie Heng, he was a rural man, a second-time bride, with three children and a bunch of family members. It was already very good for him to find a city girl, especially since it was Zhang Yumei who took the initiative to find him. It can be seen how deeply Zhang Yumei loves him. In the future, he will be able to control her and will not let her climb on his head and pee or shit.
And the most important thing is that Zhang Yumei's father is in the capital's army, which will be very helpful for whether she can stay in school in the future. Although it is a little bit inferior, she still has connections.
Xie Heng secretly visited Zhang Yumei and was very satisfied with her. She had graduated from a technical secondary school and worked as a nurse in a military hospital. This was already quite high for him, not to mention her father.
Xie Heng looked at Qin Zheng, the nerdy boy who only cared about reading in his dorm room, and sneered inwardly: No matter what, he was still better than Qin Zheng. At least he could make someone like Zhang Yumei stick with him, even spreading the word that she would marry him. And look at him, Qin Zheng. What was the point of always coming first in the competition? In the end, didn't he still have to marry an illiterate peasant?
Xie Heng hid his thoughts. "Qin Zheng, have you heard the news? I heard that our school is going to hold a social gathering with the neighboring military unit. Will you attend?"
Qin Zheng flipped through the book calmly and replied, "Let's talk later."
"Qin Zheng, you're not a child anymore. It's time for you to think about yourself. Even though your mother passed away early and your father hasn't been in good health these years, don't you have any thoughts at all?"
"No."
"Qin Zheng, I'm doing this for your own good. How come you can't tell the difference between good and bad words?"
"Thank you very much."
Xie Heng clenched his fists, "You..." Just wait for me, when I take down Zhang Xuemei and stay in school, I will make you pay.
The next day, the news that the military academy would hold a joint social gathering with the troops was completely confirmed.
In the principal's office, the principal looked at the soldier standing in front of him, his face full of satisfaction, and said, "Qin Zheng, you are not a child anymore. It's time to think about your lifelong affairs. You must go to this social gathering."
"Principal, I..."
"Don't say anything else to me. I don't want to listen and I don't want to listen." As he said that, the principal took out a photo and placed it in front of Qin Zheng.
"Isn't this girl pretty? Let me tell you, this is my best child. Today I am handing my best child over to the person I value most, in your hands. Please don't let me down.
Qin Zheng, let's go take a look first, just in case you two like it."
Qin Zheng looked at the photo on the table. Although it was black and white, the beauty of the woman in the photo could still be seen. Her graceful figure, sweet smile, and unique charm attracted Qin Zheng uncontrollably.
The principal jokingly said, "What? Are you stunned? Let me tell you, this kid is even more beautiful than in the photo. It won't do you any harm if you go and meet him."
Qin Zheng held the photo and said, "Let me think about it."
"Damn it, how come the other kid isn't good enough for you? He's got to be good-looking, have a good figure, and have a good education. He graduated from college and even studied abroad for a year. Before he even returned home, he was snatched away by the military hospital. Now he's a surgeon there, and his family background is amazing. You're not interested in a kid like this? Tell me, who do you like?"
"Principal, you also said that this girl is so good, so why would she go to the sorority? And she is so good, how could she be interested in a country girl like me?"
"This girl is really pitiful. Her mother died of a massive hemorrhage while giving birth to her brother. Her father never remarried, and she had no plans to get married either, so it's been delayed until now. Even though it's been delayed until now, there are still many people proposing marriage. If her family hadn't spread the word that they couldn't let her go and wanted to stay for a few more years, the people proposing marriage would have trampled down her doorstep."
It's not their family that's drawn to you, it's me. Her father and I have lived and died together, and I've also observed many young men for this child. They're either just ordinary, unsuitable, or overly ambitious and dissolute. I'm worried. But heaven has placed you before us. You have the blood of our generation. I've also discussed this with the child's father. You two should go to the social gathering. If you're truly attracted to each other, we can take the next step. If there's no destiny, I won't force it.
As for the rural vs. urban issue you mentioned, that's not the case at all. Her father is from the countryside, and her family treats rural and urban residents equally."
"Okay, Principal, I understand. I'll go." With that, Qin Zheng took the photo and left.
The principal cursed, "Damn it! He said he didn't want to go, but his hands were honest. He took the photo and left."
In the dormitory, Qin Zheng looked at the girl in the photo, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.
Xie Heng returned to the dormitory and was surprised to see Qin Zheng not reading. Everyone knew that Qin Zheng loved to pretend to read, but today he was not reading but staring at the photo on the table. It was really strange.
Qin Zheng heard the door open and quickly hid the photos on the table.
"You're back."
Qin Zheng’s words made Xie Heng even more curious. You know, Qin Zheng had talked to him when he came back that time.
"Qin Zheng, do you have a girl in mind? Do you want me to give you some advice?"
