Young Master Rong was quite depressed yesterday.
But after thinking about it, she nodded.
"Okay, I'll go with you, brother. I've never been to your workplace before."
Let's go find Rong Zhaonan after dinner.
Wei Heng smiled and said, "Let's go! Let's go early and come back early so we can have dinner."
The brother and sister said goodbye to Manhua and Huazi and then went out.
An hour later, the two arrived at Wei Heng's workplace, chatting and laughing.
After Wei Heng reported the registration and completed the formalities by phone, he took Ning Yuan to the family compound.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, there are fewer people in the family compound, but red lanterns are hanging everywhere, creating a festive atmosphere.
A woman in her forties with a child approached and saw Wei Heng leading a pretty young girl.
She was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ning Yuan in surprise: "Xiao Heng, this is..."
Wei Heng greeted her with a smile: "Sister-in-law Gao, this is my younger sister. She came to Shanghai from our hometown after passing the college entrance exam!"
Ning Yuan gave Gao's sister-in-law a sweet smile: "Hello, Gao's sister-in-law."
Sister-in-law Gao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Oh, hello! No wonder you're Xiao Heng's sister, you're so pretty!"
After saying that, she looked at Wei Heng and said, "I knew it. Zhenzhen comes every now and then, so how could you find a new partner?"
Upon hearing Tang Zhenzhen's name, both Ning Yuan and Wei Heng frowned in unison.
Wei Heng looked at Sister-in-law Gao and couldn't help but ask, "You said Tang Zhenzhen comes here often?"
Sister-in-law Gao praised with a smile: "Yes, Zhenzhen can't come in when you're not here, but she often comes to bring us things. She's such a kind and thoughtful girl."
Wei Heng's expression darkened, and he remained silent.
Sister-in-law Gao patted him: "Last time you said that after you finished your mission, you asked me to go to Zhenzhen's house to propose marriage on your behalf. My husband was so happy. He even left you ten extra catties of pork, oil and rice for the New Year. Remember to give them to Zhenzhen."
Wei Heng's superior is Commander Sun, and Sister-in-law Gao is Commander Sun's wife.
Wei Heng could only manage a weak smile and mumble, "Mm."
Ning Yuan looked thoughtful the whole time; Tang Zhenzhen really was a master at winning people over.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Gao's sister-in-law suspected that the young couple had quarreled.
She didn't ask many questions, just smiled and said, "Okay, I'm going to take the kids to buy some groceries. I'll talk to you later."
Watching Gao's sister-in-law's departing figure, Ning Yuan turned to look at Wei Heng and smiled—
"Big brother, Tang Zhenzhen is very good at dealing with people, isn't she? Everyone in the family compound likes her."
Wei Heng nodded silently.
Ning Yuan patted his arm: "Alright, stop thinking about it. We'll deal with this after the holiday. Let's go to your dorm and the logistics department to get the New Year's goods first."
Anyway, she will definitely not let Tang Zhenzhen get the things her older brother sent!
Wei Heng didn't have any good ideas either, and with a heavy heart, he followed Ning Yuan back to the dormitory to pick up the New Year's gifts from his workplace.
Ning Yuan visited her older brother's dormitory for the first time.
Apart from the walls being a bit yellowed due to age, the entire space is simple, clean, and perfectly organized.
Even the shoes were neatly stacked in the corner.
Ning Yuan recalled Rong Zhaonan's dormitory, which was similar, except it had many books.
She couldn't help but laugh and said, "The dormitories of all of you who served in the military look exactly the same."
Wei Heng was packing two changes of clothes when he heard this. He glanced at Ning Yuan and asked, "Do you often go to Rong's dormitory?"
Ning Yuan coughed lightly: "Not really, just occasionally."
Wei Heng frowned slightly: "You're a girl, don't go to single men's dormitories so often, it's not good for your reputation."
Ning Yuan could only nod and say, "I understand."
Seeing Ning Yuan's perfunctory attitude, Wei Heng was about to continue lecturing her when a soldier on duty rushed over: "Report, Battalion Commander, someone is looking for us at the gate."
Wei Heng was taken aback: "Who?"
The young soldier smiled at him teasingly: "Future sister-in-law."
Ning Yuan sighed upon hearing this; that woman had truly made it known to everyone, from top to bottom.
Wei Heng frowned again and looked at the young soldier: "Let her go."
The soldier delivering the order was taken aback, thinking he had misheard: "What?"
Ning Yuan thought for a moment, but stopped Wei Heng: "Big brother, let's pack our things and go see her. We're leaving anyway."
With his simple and straightforward personality, the eldest brother probably couldn't outwit Tang Zhenzhen. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been deceived so badly in his past life and died young!
Wei Heng thought for a moment, then his handsome face turned serious: "Alright, she is a girl after all, and there are some things that should be discussed with her face to face."
The messenger, unaware of what had happened, could only relay Tang Zhenzhen's message as instructed by his battalion commander.
Tang Zhenzhen had already permed her hair and was wearing a slightly worn, pilling navy blue serge coat.
She was holding a bag of oranges and was eagerly waiting at the door.
But she didn't expect that when Ning Weiheng returned, the guards wouldn't let her in and only told her to wait at the door.
Ning Weiheng will come out in a little while.
Despite her displeasure, Tang Zhenzhen would visit his workplace every few days to bring him food and drinks and to maintain good relations with people in the family compound.
Ning Weiheng hadn't returned, so she couldn't even get through the gate. Now that he was back, she could only stand at the door and wait!
This is absolutely outrageous!
She kept insisting that he give her seventy yuan to buy her a new coat. She had her eye on a red wool coat at the No. 1 Department Store, and it looked really nice!
She also asked him to give her another thirty yuan to buy her two lipsticks.
I wonder how much he'll get in betrothal gifts; even the latest model tape recorder requires industrial coupons...
And televisions... those require even rarer foreign trade vouchers to obtain, so we have to make sure Wei Heng finds a way to get them!
Tang Zhenzhen stood at the entrance of her workplace, her mind preoccupied with what she and Wei Heng needed to buy for their wedding, and waited for almost an hour.
Just as she was about to lose her temper, she suddenly saw a familiar, tall, and handsome figure walking towards the door.
"Brother Wei Heng!" Her eyes lit up immediately, and she rushed over to greet him.
Unexpectedly, Ning Weiheng was accompanied by a petite figure wearing a red woolen coat.
Moreover, she saw the pretty young girl chatting and laughing with Ning Weiheng, who was dressed casually, and the two of them were carrying a lot of New Year's goods.
The man was handsome and the woman was pretty; they looked like a perfect couple.
Tang Zhenzhen's face instantly turned extremely ugly, and she wished she could rush up and scratch the girl's face.
After they came out.
Tang Zhenzhen couldn't help but raise her voice instantly: "Ning Weiheng, how could you do this to me? You actually cheated on me with someone else behind my back?!"
This shout instantly drew the attention of the two guards on duty at the entrance.
Wei Heng's face darkened.
Ning Yuan narrowed her big eyes and looked at Tang Zhenzhen as if she were an idiot: "Tang Zhenzhen, are you sick?"
Tang Zhenzhen wanted to curse again, but upon hearing that familiar voice, she looked at her in disbelief: "You are... Ning... Ning Yuan?!"
Ning Yuan replied coolly, "Yes, it's been a long time."
How could this woman not recognize her?
Tang Zhenzhen looked at the girl in front of her, whose curly hair was tied into a ponytail on her head, and who was wearing a brand-new, stylish, wide-sleeved, fitted wool coat that looked like an imported product.
A pair of jeans that are now very rare and a pair of calfskin shoes, the styles of which are available in export stores.
Ning Yuan looked so stylish that Tang Zhenzhen almost didn't recognize her.
A flame of jealousy welled up inside her. Why did he get to do this?!
Ning Weiheng actually bought such nice clothes for Ning Yuan, a country girl!
That was all her betrothal money!
