Chapter 15 How did you get to know each other?

Gu's father and mother received a navy blue short-sleeved shirt, which was also what their second uncle and second aunt gave to their son Gu Jianhua when he got married.

In addition to their family, Gu Jianhua's three sisters also came.

The Gu family has three daughters.

The eldest sister, Gu Yunduo, was introduced by her elders to marry a nephew of the same surname from Gu's mother's family in the neighboring village of Dakuo. She and her husband, Zhao Yongqiang, had two sons and one daughter. The eldest, Zhao Qingmu, was 14 years old, the second, Zhao Qinglin, was 12 years old, and the youngest, Zhao Qingyu, was 8 years old.

The second sister, Gu Yuncai, married a family surnamed Wang in the second team of the same village. She and her husband Wang Erhu gave birth to three daughters. The eldest, Wang Mingyue, is 12 years old, the second, Wang Chunqing, is 10 years old, and the third, Wang Xiaomei, is 7 years old. She is currently pregnant with a baby, more than eight months old, and will soon give birth. She hopes it will be a son.

The third sister, Gu Yunlan, married a man who lived far away. It took more than three hours to walk from Xiangyang Brigade to Liujia Village. She and her husband Li Laifu had a daughter named Li Xueer, who is seven years old this year.

Gu Jianhua has three sisters. He can often see the eldest and second sisters Su He because they live nearby. The second sister will go back to her parents' home every few days. But the third sister has been married for half a year and has only seen her twice.

The day she married Gu Jianhua, and today.

It's said that a girl from this family shouldn't marry too far away.

After the banquet, everyone returned home.

Sister Gu couldn't wait to ask, "Sister-in-law, I heard from mom that you are pregnant."

"What, your sister-in-law is pregnant?" Second Sister Gu asked in surprise, holding her waist.

Gu's mother told her not to be surprised, because she was pregnant while sitting on the kang!

Sister Gu was surprised, but also a little envious.

Su He smiled and said, "Two months."

Sister Gu touched Su He's nonexistent belly and said happily, "My brother is pregnant."

Sister Gu smiled and said, "That's great!"

Second sister Gu calculated the time and said, "My sister-in-law will give birth around the end of December or the beginning of January. I don't know if Jianhua can come back."

Everyone was worried when they heard this. Sister Gu sighed and said, "It's sad. He came back this year, but he probably won't be back in the winter."

The military allows one to go back for home visits once a year. If you go back this year, someone else will have to take your place next year.

Gu Jianhua came back this year.

Su He, "We'll talk about it when the time comes."

She had a feeling that her son Jianhua would come back this year.

I sent him a letter a month ago, but I don't know if he received it.

At this time.

The southern border of the motherland.

"Comrade Gu Jianhua has a letter for you."

“I am here.”

A stern-looking officer came running over, took the letter, and when he saw the mailing address on it, he couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you, comrade."

Gu Jianhua thanked the other party and did not even wait to return to the dormitory. He opened the letter on the way and read it while walking. He did not know what was written in the letter, but the smile on his face was getting bigger and bigger.

Back in the dormitory, he couldn't help but read it again. His roommates teased him, "Your face is full of wrinkles when you smile. Is this a letter from your sister-in-law?"

Gu Jianhua smiled and nodded, "Yes, she said she is pregnant, I am going to be a father!"

"Oh, congratulations!"

"Hey, tell us, how did you get to know your sister-in-law? Were you introduced by your parents? This guy got a wife as soon as he returned." Several roommates were very curious.

Gu Jianhua smiled and shook his head, "No, she came here on her own."

"Ah? You came here on your own?"

"How did you find me? Tell us."

Several roommates thought that Gu Jianhua's wife was introduced by his parents, but they didn't expect that she found her on her own. How could this person find her on her own?

They were a little curious about how he found it.

Gu Jianhua's eyes softened when he thought of Su He. He said, "It's a long story..."

The time goes back to March.

Gu Jianhua went home to visit his relatives. His mother asked him to go to the county to buy some meat, so he went. When he came out of the supply and marketing cooperative after buying the meat, he saw a girl next to him almost fell down, so he helped her up.

The girl thanked him and he thought they would never have any contact again, but when he had just walked a few meters, the girl caught up with him.

"Comrade, wait a minute."

Gu Jianhua turned around, confused.

The girl asked, "Comrade, are you married?"

Gu Jianhua shook his head and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

The girl didn't answer, and asked again, "Do you have a partner?"

He continued to shake his head.

The girl asked again, "Do you have a girl you like?"

He shook his head and said, "No."

I heard that she smiled and was very beautiful.

Then she straightened herself in front of him, cleared her throat, looked at him and asked, "Well...what do you think of me?"

"ah?"

Gu Jianhua was a little confused. What did she mean? Was it what he thought she meant?

She seemed angry and stamped her feet. "What? I just like you and want to be your partner. No, I want to marry you! And... do you agree?"

This question was too direct, and Gu Jianhua didn't know how to answer for a moment. He only knew that his heart was beating very fast at this moment, and his heart was about to jump out of his throat!

She asked again, "What's your name?"

"Gu Jianhua."

Gu Jianhua just looked at her like this. She didn't shy away like other girls, but looked at him with a smile and said,

"My name is Su He, I'm 20 years old, my family is in this city, I teach history at Hongqi Middle School."

"My father works in a slaughterhouse, my mother works in a supply and marketing cooperative, and my eldest brother is in the army. His name is Su Yue. I wonder if you have heard of him."

"My second brother works in a textile factory, and my third brother is studying at Peking University."

She looked at him and asked, "How old are you and where are you from?"

Gu Jianhua felt that his eyes and mouth were out of control. "I am 26 years old and my home is in Xiangyang Village, not far from the city, an hour's walk away. I have three older sisters, all of whom are married. My parents are farmers."

"I'm in the army myself."

After that, she nodded, "Okay, I understand."

"This is for you."

She took out a photo from her bag and put it in his hand, smiling and saying, "My question today may be a little abrupt, so please go back and think about it carefully, Comrade Gu Jianhua."

“Look at my photo and think about it.”

"If you also like me, then you can wait for me at the gate of Hongqi Middle School at noon tomorrow."

"I have classes in the afternoon, so I'm leaving now. I hope we can meet again." She waved and left.

Gu Jianhua just stood there and watched her back until she disappeared.

He didn't know how he got home. His feet were walking and his eyes were looking at the road, but his mind was full of the girl's every move and smile.

Her name is Su He. She is pretty and has a nice name.

Gu Jianhua thought so.
