Qin Hanshu returned to the Zhou family and described the blind date to Zhao Chunmiao, including what she had learned from her cousin Yang.
Zhao Chunmiao listened and nodded.
"We don't care about the Yang family's parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law for now. What's important is what kind of person the young man is and whether Lan Hua likes him. As long as Lan Hua's two older brothers are around, the Yang family has to treat our Lan Hua well."
Qin Hanshu nodded, agreeing.
Zhao Chunmiao then said to Zhou Ruilan, "You need to resolve your job and household registration issues first. You should prepare to go to the county."
Zhou Ruilan, who was still blushing, became unhappy upon hearing this. "Let's talk about it later! I want to stay with my parents for a while longer."
As she spoke, she leaned against Zhao Chunmiao in a coquettish manner.
Zhao Chunmiao stroked her daughter's face affectionately and said, "It's only a matter of time... If you go to work in the county ahead of time, you'll be able to see the young men of the Yang family every day. Isn't that a good thing?"
"Who wants to see him every day?" Zhou Ruilan pouted, planning for herself. "Once a week is enough. Wouldn't we get tired of seeing him every day?"
Zhao Chunmiao looked at Zhou Ruilan carefully and found that she seemed quite serious about what she was saying, as if she really thought so.
That's true, after all, it's only the first time we've met. How much can we like each other?
We haven't reached the point where we want to be together every day yet.
Zhao Chunmiao smiled and patted her daughter's shoulder, "Whatever you want, then don't go to work in the city for now."
Zhao Chunmiao was happy that her daughter could stay by her side for a while longer.
Zhao Chunmiao let Qin Hanshu stay for dinner before letting her return to the educated youth settlement.
Let Zhou Weiguang take him.
This time, as usual, Zhou Weiguang followed at a distance.
It was just getting dark, and there were still a few people walking on the road.
When they encountered Qin Hanshu and Zhou Weiguang, they didn't consider them to be on the same side.
It wasn't until they reached the intersection of the path leading to the educated youth settlement, where there was no one around, that Zhou Weiguang caught up with Qin Hanshu in a few strides and called out to her.
With a "click," the flashlight went out.
Qin Hanshu panicked and asked, "Third Brother Zhou?"
The moon emerged from the clouds, and Qin Hanshu could make out a glimpse of Zhou Weiguang.
But what she saw more was a blurry outline, a black silhouette.
Zhou Weiguang didn't speak, but Qin Hanshu could hear his thunderous heartbeat and the powerful aura that enveloped her.
Finally, he spoke.
"Comrade Qin Hanshu."
Qin Hanshu swallowed hard, his left hand hanging at his side, unconsciously gripping the seam of his trousers. "I'm here, please speak."
Zhou Weiguang paused for a moment and said, "Could you... be a little more casual with me? Don't always use 'you' (formal) like that, it sounds so awkward."
Qin Hanshu said, "You are my brother's comrade-in-arms and much older than me. I respect you, so how can I be so casual with you?"
And so much older than me... Zhou Weiguang felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart.
He sighed for a moment, then said, "I'm only eight years older than you, which isn't...that much, is it? Anyway, I hope you won't show me any respect!"
Qin Hanshu smiled, pursing her lips.
However, Zhou Weiguang didn't see it; he just felt that she wasn't talking and things were getting difficult to continue.
But having finally mustered the courage to call out to her, he absolutely couldn't give up now!
Zhou Weiguang took his hands out from behind his back and found a net bag in them. He shoved the net bag into Qin Hanshu's arms.
"This is a gift for you; you might find it useful!"
"I......"
"Comrade Qin Hanshu!" Zhou Weiguang quickly interrupted Qin Hanshu's refusal, "You should understand what I mean, right?"
Qin Hanshu almost burst out laughing.
"What do you mean? I don't understand."
Zhou Weiguang was so anxious he was practically fuming, but he really didn't know what else to say.
He felt he had made it obvious enough, so how could they not understand?
"Comrade Qin Hanshu, I..." Zhou Weiguang racked his brains for words, "I'm not young anymore. You are young, but in a few years you won't be young either! So, should we consider..."
What are you thinking about? Finding a partner?
Even Zhou Weiguang, a rough and uncouth person, felt that these words were too direct and rude. If the tone was not handled well, it would be suspected of being vulgar.
What if I scare people away?
The words "find a girlfriend" lingered on Zhou Weiguang's lips for a long time, and he was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, but in the end he still didn't say them.
Qin Hanshu asked, "Brother Zhou, is your leave to visit your family almost over?"
Zhou Weiguang replied dejectedly, "Yes, I'll be leaving in a few days."
He was genuinely uneasy if he didn't finalize things before leaving.
Qin Hanshu is so beautiful, she's bound to attract attention. There are plenty of men in the world with tricks like Zhou Xiaowu, who knows if Qin Hanshu will be kidnapped?
He was far away, too far to even launch a sniping attack.
Thinking of this, Zhou Weiguang finally had a breakthrough and said indirectly:
"Comrade Qin Hanshu, may I write to you after I return to the army?"
After saying that, Zhou Weiguang waited nervously for Qin Hanshu's reply.
If a man and a woman who are not related or friends maintain communication for a long time, their relationship is definitely more than just casual; at the very least, they are inclined to develop that kind of relationship.
Under the moonlight, Qin Hanshu nodded and softly hummed in agreement.
In an instant, Zhou Weiguang felt that all the sounds around him had disappeared, and even the wind had become gentler.
All he could see was Qin Hanshu's fair and radiant face under the moonlight.
All he could hear was Qin Hanshu's soft breathing.
Many years later, Zhou Weiguang could still clearly remember the lightness he felt at that moment.
It was a feeling of being so happy I felt like I could fly!
Of course, Zhou Weiguang didn't fly in front of Qin Hanshu. After receiving a positive answer, he still maintained a certain level of restraint.
"Okay, I will write to you."
After saying this, Zhou Weiguang took his leave and turned away.
Only after leaving Qin Hanshu's sight did he let his mouth stretch to the back of his ears, running wildly in the darkness of the countryside.
In a moment of excitement, I ran five kilometers before heading home.
