Chapter 31 A Village Girl in the 1970s
In the past, Miao Cuilan would definitely have disagreed, but after what happened with Lu Yikang, she still felt that it was better for her daughter to get married as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if someone else takes a liking to them and it happens again, their family won't be able to handle it.
She didn't want her daughter to endure too much gossip.
She's moved into the military base now, let's see who dares to harm her then!
"Did Xiao Xie say when he would come to our house again?"
"I said I'd think about it and he'd come back once I agreed."
Yao Yunzhen tilted her head: "But it seems he'll be back with the team soon."
"You brat, why did you only say that now?"
Miao Cuilan was about to go to the brigade headquarters to make a phone call.
During the meal, she casually asked which guesthouse Xie Jingyue was staying at and left her phone number.
"Mom, wait a minute. He might still be on his way and hasn't even reached the county yet."
Seeing her mother's anxiety, Yao Yunzhen didn't say much or express any objection.
Since she was going to get married sooner or later anyway, she might as well do it. At least she wasn't against Jing Yue; in fact, she was quite satisfied.
Miao Cuilan suppressed her anxiety and waited. When the time was almost up, she quickly made a phone call.
Xie Jingyue was so happy when he received the news that he almost jumped for joy.
He never expected things to go so smoothly; Zhenzhen was going to marry him.
That's great, that's really great.
He was about to rush out as soon as he hung up the phone to buy some things to be delivered tomorrow.
Oh, right, I should go find Tian Pingjiang first and borrow some money from him.
Hmm... It's hard to buy many good things right now, so let's grab some good stuff while we're at it.
Let's get some of Zhenzhen's favorite foods.
Just as Xie Jingyue returned to the guesthouse with his bags full of luggage, he received a phone call from his superior, Wang Weiguo.
"You brat, how long are you going to dawdle? Get back here right now!"
Wang Weiguo was losing his temper.
He was assigned a task, which he completed excellently, but instead of returning, he went to investigate the county's Revolutionary Committee director. That was fine, as it was considered doing a service to the people.
Now that everything is settled, why is he still refusing to come back? What is he trying to do?
He has high hopes for this kid, so he can't let him go astray after just one trip.
Xie Jingyue immediately said, "Reporting to the leader, I need to ask for two more days off."
Wang Weiguo laughed in exasperation: "Please? Why don't you just stay there?"
Xie Jingyue now sees everything as beautiful, even the air he breathes smells sweet, and he doesn't mind the sarcastic tone on the other end of the phone. On the contrary, he says with a hint of boasting:
"I didn't ask for leave randomly; it's to settle down and get married!"
"What do you mean?"
Xie Jingyue didn't hide anything and said frankly, "I have a fiancée. I'm going to her house to get engaged tomorrow. After I get back, I'll submit a marriage application. You'll have to approve it for me as quickly as possible."
He now wants the whole world to know.
Wang Weiguo asked incredulously, "Are you serious?"
His girlfriend tried to set him up with so many people, but it never worked out. She wouldn't even meet the girls. But after going out on a mission, they're getting engaged.
"Of course it's true. Please remember to grant me two days off."
Xie Jingyue was too excited, showing no trace of his former composure; he was now like a young boy.
"Okay, I'll approve it for you for another two days."
Since it concerned his lifelong happiness, Wang Weiguo was absolutely resolute.
Many of his subordinates have been struggling to find husbands, and one by one they refuse to go on blind dates, always making excuses whenever the topic comes up. Now that Xie Jingyue, who only cares about his work, is getting married, let's see what excuses they have left.
Wang Weiguo hung up the phone and got up to urge his men.
Xie Jingyue was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night, and when he got up the next day, he was still full of energy.
He quickly got ready, and before dawn, he picked up his things, rode a brand-new bicycle, and headed out.
On the other side, Yao Yunzhen was also woken up early by Miao Cuilan, who told her to dress up nicely and change into a newer outfit.
We can't let something like that happen again.
Yao Yunzhen put on a lake-blue shirt and a pair of black pants.
This outfit was bought for her by Yao Liuzhi, and it fits her perfectly, unlike the clothes that Miao Cuilan deliberately made too big.
After buying it, Yao Yunzhen only wore it at home and never wore it out.
Simply put, it's just too dazzling.
The outfit was simple, with hardly any design, yet it perfectly accentuated her figure.
Her shapely figure and slender waist are just right, captivating the eye.
Instead of combing her hair into two stiff braids as usual, Yao Yunzhen gathered it into a single bunch and braided it into a loose fishtail braid at the back of her head.
A few strands of hair fell across her face, giving her a delicate yet languid look, making her exude a unique charm, like a lotus emerging from the water, fresh, refined, and beautiful.
She was like a stunning painting, and even the passing wind seemed to linger for her, as if all the beauty in the world had been embodied in her.
Yao Yunzhen looked her up and down, nodded in satisfaction, and then walked out of the room.
Actually, she loves to dress up, but it's really not appropriate to dress up in the village. She can't even show her face, so what's the point of dressing up?
So she didn't bother dressing up anymore and mostly wore loose, old clothes.
Miao Cuilan had almost never seen Yao Yunzhen like this before, so she was immediately stunned by the sight.
In a daze, the thought reappeared in her mind.
Is this really the daughter she could have given birth to?
After a moment of stunned silence, Yang Erni muttered to herself.
If her daughter were that beautiful, she would love her dearly.
Like loving a son... no, just a little less than loving a son...
As Yang Erni looked away, her rationality gradually returned, and her beloved son regained his former glory in her heart.
Miao Cuilan also came to her senses.
"Hey, you sit down first. I'll go check on the kitchen. Don't go in, or you'll get your clothes dirty."
"Okay."
Yao Yunzhen obediently sat down.
Xie Jingyue arrived by bicycle, but he left very early, arriving at Baiyang Brigade just as the sun rose above the horizon.
Hearing the noise, Miao Cuilan quickly came out of the kitchen.
Upon seeing Xie Jingyue carrying large and small bags, he immediately broke into a wide smile.
"You're here, why bring a gift?"
"This is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won't find it offensive, Auntie."
"No problem, no problem, come in quickly."
Miao Cuilan took the things and led the person into the house.
"Sit down for a bit, Zhenzhen, pour Xiao Xie a glass of water. There's still some food in the pot, I'll go check on it."
"I can do it myself, you don't need to worry about me."
"Make yourself at home, don't be shy."
Miao Cuilan, still thinking about the pot, went back into the kitchen.
After Miao Cuilan entered the kitchen, Xie Jingyue looked at Yao Yunzhen.
Upon seeing it, they were immediately amazed.
Xie Jingyue had always known that Yao Yunzhen was exceptionally beautiful, but he never expected that with a little makeup, she could be even more dazzling.
It surpasses everything in the world.
After a long while, Xie Jingyue finally came to her senses as if waking from a dream, a blush spreading across her face.
