Before Zheng Tiansen could feel it for a while, Linglong had already broken free and took two steps back.
"Brother Zheng, now that we've finished talking, I'll go back." After saying that, she turned around and fled.
Watching her walking faster and faster, even jogging, Zheng Tiansen did not catch up with her, but just let out a low laugh.
Linglong rushed into the house panting, and scooped half a ladle of water with a ladle and gulped it down.
"Linglong, why are you drinking raw water? There's hot water in the thermos."
Seeing that there was even some sweat on her forehead, Aunt Tong was even more puzzled. "What's wrong with you? It's like a wolf is chasing you."
"Auntie, I'm fine. It's just that, by the way, I was anxious to write letters to Chunlei and Li Jie."
She almost forgot that she hadn't written back to her two good friends yet.
As soon as she got home yesterday, her plans were disrupted by an unexpected surprise, and she even forgot about replying to the letter.
"Why are you in such a hurry to write a letter? It won't take more than a few minutes."
Linglong smiled and hugged Congcong. "Congcong, mommy really misses you."
"Mom, here you go." Congcong gave her the half biscuit that he had saved with great effort.
"Thank you, Congcong. Mommy is full. You can eat by yourself, Congcong."
Congcong then started to take small bites.
Linglong picked up a pen, found some letter paper, and started writing on the table.
In fact, Zheng Tiansen and Linglong had not finished speaking.
But seeing Linglong looking shy, he decided not to be anxious anymore and waited for Linglong to calm down before speaking.
Anyway, the most important thing already has an answer, so he is not so anxious about the other things.
He was afraid that the great opportunity he had finally obtained would scare Linglong back into her turtle shell because of his impatience.
After writing the letter, Linglong played and studied with Congcong for half an hour before continuing to read her own book.
Congcong is very well behaved. He knows that he should not disturb his mother when she is reading, so he just plays by himself.
Just lying down at night and thinking of my father's embrace, my face gets hot.
There are also Zheng Tiansen's questions and her answers.
So, are they going to get married?
Thinking about this and that, Linglong tossed and turned for a long time before falling into a drowsy sleep.
Zheng Tiansen had a good dream late at night.
When he saw Linglong in the cafeteria during the day, he didn't do anything to make Linglong nervous. He just got his food normally and said a few words to her.
Two days passed like this, and Linglong's mood had almost eased.
When she finished her work in the cafeteria and got home from get off work, she saw Zheng Tiansen was already at home, playing with Congcong.
"You're back." Zheng Tiansen stood up when he saw her enter the room.
"If you two have anything to say, please go inside and talk. I'm watching Congcong." Aunt Tong quickly drove them away.
Linglong did not avoid it and went into the inner room with Zheng Tiansen and sat down.
"Linglong, didn't I tell you before that if we get married, we might have to come to my house in Beijing to meet my father? What do you think about this?"
After calming down, Linglong regained all her rationality.
Even though she was very nervous and a little afraid to meet the Zheng family, she could only think about how Zheng Tiansen always thought about her, but she had never done anything for him.
It was such a reasonable request, and she couldn't refuse it.
After a little thought, she said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
"Linglong, if you feel reluctant, it's actually okay."
"Brother Zheng, I won't force you. Beijing is the capital. There are so many people who want to come but don't have the chance." After she figured it out, she stopped worrying about it.
"Okay, I've discussed it with Political Commissar Hao, and we should be able to leave anytime. What about you? Do you need me to talk to your quartermaster?"
"No need, Brother Zheng. I can just talk to the quartermaster." She was not so unable to handle such a small matter.
"Okay, I'll buy the train tickets after you and your quartermaster agree on a departure date."
"good."
After saying this, Zheng Tiansen stayed for a while and explained a few questions to Linglong.
After he left, Linglong came out to see Congcong and suddenly frowned.
If she follows Brother Zheng to the capital, what will happen to Congcong?
For a moment, she couldn't decide whether to take Congcong with her or leave him at home.
"What's the matter? Why are you so sad?"
Linglong no longer hid her feelings from Aunt Tong.
"Auntie, Brother Zheng and I have already discussed it. After I get my leave, I will go with him to the capital to meet his family. I am worried about what to do with Congcong."
When Aunt Tong heard that Linglong was going to Beijing with Zheng Tiansen, she was delighted. "Are you set to get married?"
"Yeah," Lingling nodded.
"That's great." Aunt Tong was overjoyed. She glanced at Congcong and said, "I'm taking Congcong with me now. It's not easy for you to come to Beijing, and Congcong is young. You should stay. I'm here for you."
In fact, she was afraid that Linglong was unmarried and would bring a child with her, which would cause dissatisfaction among the Zheng family.
Even if Congcong is not Linglong's child, how many families would be willing to let their son get married for the first time when the woman already has a child?
Although she didn't know Zheng Tiansen's family background very well, she only knew that he was from the capital and was usually generous. She also heard her son mention it occasionally, so she felt that Linglong was better without the "Congcong" tone.
But she didn't say it explicitly because she knew Linglong cared about Congcong.
When Linglong heard this, she was really worried that Congcong, who was so young, would get sick while traveling with her, and the balance in her heart tilted.
The next day in the cafeteria, Linglong went to the office to find the quartermaster.
She often helps the quartermaster with accounting and is not unfamiliar with his office.
Seeing her coming over, the quartermaster was a little curious.
"Linglong, what's wrong?"
"Steward, it's like this. Captain Zheng and I are planning to get married. Before the wedding, I want to go back to his home in the capital to meet his elders. So, I need to take a few days off."
"Oh, you're finally getting married. This is a great thing. Okay, write an application and I'll approve it."
"Chief Steward, um, the number of days I asked for may not be less." After all, the round trip journey alone takes several days, and it is not clear how many days we will stay in the capital.
"It's okay, don't worry. Our cafeteria isn't so short of people right now, and we'll be hiring soon. You can still handle it on your own. Oh, and how's Xiao Fang doing lately?"
If we were to say what the biggest impact of Linglong's departure was, it would probably be the taste of the food in their cafeteria.
"Xiao Fang is talented, studies very hard, and is able to endure hardships."
"Then can he run it independently now?"
"I've taught him some dishes, so they should be fine."
"That's fine. When you're not around, let him take over. Just let me know when you're leaving."
"Well, thank you, Chief Steward."
"What are you thanking me for? Don't forget to give me some wedding candy later." The quartermaster laughed.
Linglong didn't want her leave to go so smoothly, so she left briskly.
It's even easier for Zheng Tiansen.
The leader also wants to solve his personal problems.
He is now looking for a partner and is about to get married. His superiors are so happy that they naturally approved the leave.
Along with his application for home leave, he also submitted his marriage application.
He thought that when he came back from visiting his relatives this time, he would get a marriage certificate with Linglong.
