"Linglong, thank you so much. My boy is going to go to school well again." Sister Niu said happily to Linglong.
"Really? That's great." Linglong was also very excited.
"I just told him what you said to me, and he wanted to learn it. What a nuisance."
It turned out that just a few words from her changed a child's decision, and maybe even his future.
Linglong has always had little feeling about her special status as a middle-aged person.
Even though she has changed herself, even the current trajectory of the Liu family is different from that of her previous life.
But this was the first time she really felt something different.
While she was excited, her reason also reminded her to be more cautious in the future.
The things she knew but hadn't revealed could be a double-edged sword. She had to approach them with caution, and at the same time, protect herself and not get carried away.
Perhaps because she finally had something happy, she also began to feel a little gloomy.
After that day's confession, it's not that she hasn't seen Zheng Tiansen again, but she just saw him from afar.
Zheng Tiansen would still come to the cafeteria to eat, but not very often. Even when he did, Xiao Jiang would serve him the food.
Whenever there was a problem between the two of them, Xiao Jiang, Zheng Tiansen's closest friend, was the most sensitive.
He also carefully asked Zheng Tiansen and was scolded. Since then, the young man was worried and sad, but he couldn't tell anyone else because the team leader didn't allow him to say anything.
Linglong and Hao Chunlei agreed to go to the city together on a certain day.
The three girls went early to wait for the army's car to enter the city.
With the family of Li Jie, the leader of the division, there, they could not only ride in the regiment's cars, but also in the division's cars going into the city.
Actually, it was not impossible before, but everyone was more familiar with the people in their own group.
As soon as the three young girls got on the bus, they started chattering non-stop.
Other military families and comrades who were going into the city felt very happy when they saw the buds.
"Look, this is good to be young."
"That's right. I wonder how long it will take for Captain Zheng and Linglong to get married."
"It should be soon. The new year is over."
"Who knows? Comrade Linglong isn't that old. Isn't Captain Zheng's family worried?"
Several military dependents who were sitting away from Linglong and the others were whispering to each other.
How could the Zheng family not be anxious about Zheng Tiansen's marriage? They just have no choice.
Zheng's father had already called his son, suggesting that he find time to come home, and by the way, he also asked about the situation of Zheng Tiansen and Linglong.
Zheng Tiansen didn't want to talk about this with anyone and just dealt with it.
Zheng's father didn't mention what Wang Meicen said, but Zheng Tiansen still didn't want to say it.
Zeng Yu knew her son's reaction and was naturally angry and worried.
After all, my son wrote in the letter that he likes Linglong so much, so don’t let him get hurt.
When Xiao Jiang came to report the situation to Zheng Tiansen, he mentioned something.
"Captain, when I first arrived, I heard that Comrade Linglong and the daughter of the comrade's family had taken a car into the city."
Zheng Tiansen looked up at him. "Oh, I see." Then he continued to work on his own affairs.
That's it? Xiao Jiang left angrily without any response.
As soon as he moved, Zheng Tiansen leaned back and sighed.
Linglong, you are such a cruel girl.
These days, he thought a lot when he had free time, but when he thought about what she said, he didn't know how to approach her.
He had clearly thought that as long as he treated her well enough, he would be able to impress her one day.
But this cruel girl didn't even give him an excuse to get close to her.
When will it be announced? Let’s put it off a little longer.
In short, he didn't want to say it yet.
The three girls who came to the city wandered around the supply and marketing cooperative for a long time.
Hao Chunlei bought a few hair ornaments, which looked quite ugly in Linglong's eyes, but Hao Chunlei liked them very much.
Li Jie and Linglong both love to eat, so they bought some food with the same interest.
Linglong felt that the milk biscuits at this time were really authentic, perhaps because they did not have so many messy additives. She tasted them and they tasted even better than those biscuits with various flavors later on. It was also her favorite snack now.
In addition to food, Linglong also bought vanishing cream this time.
The climate is dry in winter, and she needs to prevent her skin from cracking, so she uses it more often. The vanishing cream she got from Sister Niu is almost used up, so it's a good opportunity for her to buy a new box when she goes to the city this time.
Standing at the TV counter, I looked at the not-so-big black and white TV.
Hao Chunlei and Li Jie were reluctant to leave.
"It would be great if I had a TV like this at home. My cousin has one. The last time I met her, she boasted about it to me." Li Jie said.
"I want to too," Hao Chunlei agreed.
Linglong, on the other hand, was used to seeing big TVs, so she had no interest in this obviously old TV.
But she still comforted her two friends: "There will always be bigger and better color TVs in the future."
"How long will that take? And it will definitely be very expensive." Li Jie murmured.
Hao Chunlei didn't dare to imagine it.
In fact, if both families, especially Li Jie's family, really wanted to buy a black and white TV, they could afford it, but the tickets required for the TV were difficult to get.
Besides, they didn't know how many programs could be watched in the military camp, so her parents had no desire to buy a TV.
Rather than buying a TV, her parents might be more interested in buying something more practical.
Linglong walked around and found something she wanted to buy, which was a watch.
It’s really inconvenient to check time without a watch.
But watches are not cheap, and you may not be able to buy one even if you save enough money, and tickets are even harder to come by.
Haishi brand watches are the most popular among the public, and of course they are also expensive. In addition, there are also Plum Blossom brand, Zhongshan brand, Seagull brand, etc.
Linglong wants to buy a Haishi brand watch, so she needs to save at least a hundred yuan and have enough industrial coupons.
Although she couldn't afford it now, Linglong didn't give up and set a goal first.
In addition to watches, they also looked at Butterfly sewing machines and Phoenix bicycles.
In short, these are the four most popular wedding items of this era.
Linglong didn't have any idea about sewing machines and bicycles.
Although they were short of money, the three of them still had a great time shopping before moving on to other places.
Outside the cinema, Hao Chunlei went to queue up to buy tickets, while Linglong and Li Jie waited here and looked for some food and drinks to bring in.
A woman holding a child hurried past and bumped into Li Jie.
"Ouch." Li Jie cried out in pain and was about to reprimand him, but when she saw that the man was holding a child, she suppressed the urge to curse. "Qianlu, at least take a look."
Her cry of pain immediately attracted Linglong's attention, and her gaze also shifted to the woman holding the child.
But she glanced at the child in the woman's arms and frowned.
The woman didn't speak to Li Jie and just hurried on. Linglong called her back. "Wait, what's wrong with you?"
She didn't look like she was sleeping normally.
Unexpectedly, when she shouted, the woman ran away with the child in her arms.
Linglong was stunned for a moment and immediately gave chase. "Stop, don't run."
It turned out that she was just concerned about the child, but she ran away when the woman asked her, "Why are you running away if there is no problem?"
