Although they were talking while eating, Liu Meiyun was the one who listened most of the time.
Only occasionally did Lu Wanjun ask me a question or two about my family situation and my usual hobbies.
Although Liu Meiyun was confused at first, she gradually understood and guessed that Feng Yujuan might want Lu Wanjun to help her introduce someone to the army.
In two months, it would be 1969, and there would be nine years before the college entrance examination in 1977. She would be 27 by then, and it would be impossible for her to remain single. Her family was in a bad situation, and she had a pretty face, so even if she went home, she would have to go to the countryside to work.
Liu Meiyu suddenly felt unsure about how she could get through these nine years safely and smoothly.
Therefore, after dinner, when Feng Yujuan whispered to her if she was willing to find a partner in the army and stay with the army in the future, Liu Meiyu only thought about it for a moment and nodded.
At that time, anyone who was qualified to follow the army was at least a deputy battalion commander, or a soldier who had served for more than ten years. Feng Yujuan was afraid that she would have a hard time in the future, so she helped her find a partner and suggested that she follow the army in the future. This was to find a way out for her.
"I can only help you so much," Feng Yujuan sighed, touched the girl's head reluctantly, and whispered, "Your Aunt Lu and I are old comrades-in-arms. She has a sharp eye for people and will not look for those who are unreliable. Don't worry, I will also check for you. Girls have to get married sooner or later. You are so beautiful, I am worried about you going back alone."
"Thank you, Captain." Liu Meiyu's eyes were red as she sincerely thanked Feng Yujuan.
After Lu Wanjun came out of the cafeteria, she went straight to another inpatient building of the military hospital.
The Yulin Military Region is one of the largest military regions in the country, with relatively complete supporting facilities. However, the hospitalization locations for military dependents and military officers and soldiers are not in the same direction.
Lu Wanjun went up to the third floor, walked to the single room at the back, and went in without knocking.
"Aunt, when can you respect me?" Lu Changzheng sat on the bed and expressed his dissatisfaction towards Lu Wanjun.
"When you get married."
"Where can I find a wife in this condition?" Lu Changzheng raised his right arm in plaster, looking nonchalant.
"You've been promoted to battalion commander, can you please calm down?" Lu Wanjun hit him on the head in anger, "It's just a broken bone, you can be discharged in two days, it's not like you have any broken arms or legs!"
When talking about promotion, Lu Changzheng fell silent.
"Changzheng, listen to your aunt. While you are recuperating, hurry up and get married. The situation outside is getting more and more chaotic. If you don't kill the girl from the Sun family, everyone will think you are the son-in-law of the Sun family in the future!"
If the two were in love, the family would sit down and have a good conversation. But from the beginning to the end, it was only the girl from the Sun family who chased after Lu Changzheng. If Lu Changzheng had any interest in the girl, he would not have waited until he was 24 years old to get married.
Lu Changzheng frowned. When he was urged to find a partner for the first time at home, he did not refuse outright. He just said in a somewhat sad tone, "Even if I want to get married, I still have to find a partner first, right?"
In such a short period of time, how can he find a wife?
Seeing that he gave in, Lu Wanjun smiled.
"What a coincidence! I just saw a girl from the art troupe. She's very pretty and has a good temper. And you two might really be destined to be together."
Lu Wanjun told Lu Changzheng about the situation in Liu Meiyun's family, and the more they talked, the more they felt that the two were suitable. "The girl is in a difficult situation now. If it were someone else, marrying her would be a problem, but our family is different. If you marry her, it will be easier for me to explain to the Sun family."
To put it bluntly, if Lu Changzheng sends a girl with Liu Meiyu's family background back home, she will have no chance of climbing up the social ladder in the next few years.
However, this is exactly what the Lu family hopes for.
Although Lu Changzheng won special merit this time, his father hoped that he could hone his skills for a few more years.
"Changzheng, you are not a child anymore, you have to get married eventually. If you really have no interest in that girl from the Sun family, you should just get married early and stop her from thinking about you. It's not a good idea for the two families to keep getting entangled like this."
"Also, the master has said that you should go to a place with tough conditions to learn and train for a few years."
"real?"
Lu Changzheng swept away his previous depression, sat up energetically, and pulled the person aside to ask for details.
Lu Wanjun couldn't persuade him, so after explaining a few sentences, she gave him a sincere admonition: "You are still young, and it is most beneficial for you to work hard and study hard. You must lay a solid foundation so that you will not be criticized. If your foundation is not stable, no matter how far you go in the future, you will fall down one day."
"Don't worry, aunt, I know all this."
Lu Changzheng was not afraid of hardship. He worked hard in the army since he was a child, and he got to where he is today thanks to his military medals.
As for the conditions and environment, that was not within his consideration. As a soldier, your job is to defend your country, and it is the same no matter where you are.
"I'm going to be transferred to a remote area, so there's no need to rush into getting married, right?" Lu Changzheng was still making his final struggle.
He doesn't mind getting married, he just doesn't have much expectations.
"What do you think?" Lu Wanjun mercilessly broke his fantasy, "Given the character of that girl from the Sun family, do you think she would not dare to follow you except through mountains of swords and seas of fire?"
If she guessed correctly, the girl from the Sun family would be transferred to the Yulin Military Region soon.
Lu Wanjun also admired the persistence of the girl from the Sun family. She was only two years younger than Lu Changzheng, and she had been following Lu Changzheng for so many years, and no one's persuasion was of any use.
If you do the math, Lu Changzheng is 24 this year, and the girl from the Sun family is 22. If they stay together for another two years, the girl will be too old, so the Sun family is so anxious.
As the elders, if the girl from Sun's family had a more obedient temperament, she and her grandfather would not be so opposed to this marriage. However, Sun's family has many male descendants, and Grandpa Sun has only this one granddaughter, who is extremely accustomed to her. It is really unaffordable for ordinary families to marry her off.
Not to mention, Lu Changzheng was also a hot-tempered and stubborn person, and when the two of them were together, there was never a moment of peace.
"Go wash your face and stop looking sloppy. The girl will be back to the art troupe tomorrow. I'll arrange a meeting for you two this afternoon. We'll see if you're okay with each other. If you don't like her, I can't force you to marry me."
Lu Wanjun glanced at him with disdain, but couldn't help but warn him, "Be serious and don't bully the girl. I like that girl very much. If you weren't my nephew, I would have introduced her to the head of the Third Regiment..."
"I know, I know." Seeing that Lu Wanjun was still nagging, Lu Changzheng hurriedly made a move to go to the toilet.
There were quite a few people who could make Lu Wanjun brag about them. Although Lu Changzheng had no expectations of getting married, he did not do it perfunctorily this time. At least he got up and washed his face.
Liu Meiyu stayed in the ward for a while, but couldn't sleep, so she lay on the bed and chatted with several other military relatives in the ward.
Before she came here, Liu Meiyun worked as a sales manager in a listed company. She was also awarded the Asia Pacific Gold Medal Sales Award. She was best at dealing with people.
Those aunties and ladies were so happy to see that she was a pretty girl with a sweet mouth that made people happy. When they knew that she was single, two of them enthusiastically wanted to introduce her to someone.
Xiao Zhang from the logistics department, Xiao Li, the communicator of someone, and the son of the village party secretary in my hometown.
Liu Meiyu smiled and practiced Tai Chi with them, saying sweet words for free, which not only cut off the kindness of these aunts, but also avoided offending anyone.
When Lu Wanjun saw Liu Meiyun being so smart at the door, she was even more satisfied with her.
Her nephew is good in every way except that he is too straightforward and easily offends people with his words. If he really gets together with this girl in the future, she will have one less thing to worry about.
"Meiyu" Lu Wanjun smiled and rescued Liu Meiyu from the eager gazes of those aunts and ladies.
"Aunt Lu" Liu Meiyun was a little surprised to see Lu Wanjun.
Even if it was a blind date, she thought it would be Captain Feng who brought her there, but unexpectedly the person who came was Lu Wanjun.
"Your leader has something urgent to do, so I'll take you to my office." Lu Wanjun hugged her with a gentle smile on her face.
"Thank you Auntie Lu"
Liu Meiyu obediently followed Lu Wanjun to the door of an office. The door was ajar and a man in military uniform could be vaguely seen sitting inside.
"You two can chat first. I'm next door. Call me if you need anything." Lu Wanjun opened the door of the office next door to reassure her.
Liu Meiyu nodded, took a deep breath, gently pushed the door open, and limped in with her crutches.
Lu Changzheng had heard his aunt talking to someone at the door in the house. The voice was soft and sticky, and it sounded like a hook grabbing at one's chest. When he entered the house and saw the person's face, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
If he marries such a beautiful daughter-in-law, will he be able to live a peaceful life in the future?
No, not yet my daughter-in-law.
Lu Changzheng thought to himself that he was dizzy. When he came to his senses, he saw that the girl was leaning on crutches. He wanted to go over and help her, but felt it was inappropriate. In the end, he just moved the chair closer to her so that she could walk less steps.
"What happened to your leg?"
Seeing that the girl was shy, Lu Changzheng took the initiative to start a conversation. Mainly because he was really curious. Her aunt didn't say that the girl's leg was injured.
"I accidentally stepped on something and fell." Liu Meiyun twisted her fingers and asked him carefully, "Where's your arm?"
"Broken Bones" Lu Changzheng is concise and to the point.
It's okay as long as he's not missing any limbs. Liu Meiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When she looked up, their eyes met and the air was filled with awkwardness.
The main reason was that Lu Changzheng had never dealt with such a delicate girl. The people around him were either female warriors who could carry guns and kill enemies, or those who were as arrogant as the Sun family. The people he interacted with most were hospital nurses. He really didn't know how to communicate with a pretty and chubby girl like Liu Meiyun.
He was afraid of scaring people into tears if he spoke louder.
As for Liu Meiyun, she was not embarrassed at all.
In my previous life, I was still unmarried at the age of 35, and I had been on 18 blind dates, if not 20.
The reason why she kept the original owner's character when entering the house was to see how the man would react. However, from what she had observed so far, men didn't seem to be very interested in the introverted and shy type of the original owner.
That’s even better, you don’t have to pretend.
"How about we introduce ourselves first?" Liu Meiyu asked straight to the point with a suitable smile on her face.
"Uh...Okay." Lu Changzheng was stunned for a moment, thinking it was an illusion. The girl who had just entered the room with a shy face suddenly had clear eyes and a crisp voice.
Without waiting for him to think, Liu Meiyu began to introduce herself confidently.
From family background, education level, to living habits, Liu Meiyun introduced them in great detail and with great sincerity.
After all, for now, she is quite satisfied with this blind date.
He looked more handsome than she had expected, with strong features, clear eyes, and a military spirit between his brows. His figure was even better, tall and straight, with a strong feeling of strength.
It is no exaggeration to say that if his face were put on a dating website in the future, it could be used to place advertisements to attract customers.
