Linglong and Zheng Tiansen went on several dates together in the camp over the past few days and met many people.
Although Liu Baogen had never seen it with his own eyes, he felt very uncomfortable when he heard others mention it.
He still hadn't figured out a solution within the time frame Xu Yingying requested, and was left with no choice but to submit a marriage application.
Xu Yingying was unwilling to abort the child, and time was very tight as they were about to get married.
Captain Peng now has some opinions about Liu Baogen, but he has to quickly approve Liu Baogen's marriage application.
By the time Zheng Tiansen and Linglong went to the city for a date, Liu Baogen's marriage application was officially approved. He also wanted to go to the city to find Xu Yingying, and the two of them went together to get a marriage certificate with a letter of introduction.
Knowing that Linglong was going to the city with Zheng Tiansen, Aunt Tong was very happy. She asked Linglong to put on her new clothes and scarf, and asked her to tidy up.
Zheng Tiansen also straightened himself up a bit.
At the appointed time, he drove over to pick up Linglong.
Aunt Tong sent Linglong out.
"Captain Zheng, I'm handing Linglong over to you. You must bring her back safely."
"Don't worry, Auntie. I promise that Linglong won't lose a single hair."
She watched Linglong get into the car with a smile on her face. The car started and drove away, and Aunt Tong still had a kind smile on her face.
Zheng Tiansen had a private car, but Liu Baogen didn't. He took a ride with the Second Group into the city.
There were only Zheng Tiansen and Linglong in the car, and Linglong also sat in the passenger seat.
It would be unwise for the two of them to remain silent all the way, so Zheng Tiansen took the initiative to start a conversation.
"New Year's Eve is coming soon. When we get to the city, why don't we go to the supply and marketing cooperative? See if there's anything you want to buy."
He didn't really need anything, but he felt Linglong should need it.
It's still a long time before the next paycheck comes. Linglong doesn't have much money in her pocket right now, so even if she goes, she probably won't be able to buy much.
But since Zheng Tiansen said so, she couldn't refuse and could only nod.
At worst, she can just buy less.
"How's your reading lately?"
"The humanities and history subjects are fine, but I encountered some problems in science and engineering." For example, physics, sometimes she found it difficult to read on her own.
In this era, she had nowhere to look up information.
In her previous life, she could go to the bookstore and buy all kinds of teaching aids or learning CDs.
She remembered that computers had become popular in the city, and the newly opened Internet cafes on the streets were particularly popular.
But now, she could only watch it by herself.
If you don’t quite understand something, you can only skip it and learn other content.
"Next time, list the areas where you have problems and give them to me. I'll take a look and then teach you."
Even if he has forgotten a lot, it is better to recall it by looking at the book than for Linglong to figure it out on his own. At least he has learned it.
"Okay, I'll list them when I get back."
Seeing Linglong open up, Zheng Tiansen also deliberately talked about some light-hearted topics, such as some interesting things that happened in the military camp, and even some things that happened when he and his younger brothers and sisters were children.
Linglong really listened with great interest and even took the initiative to talk about some of her own things.
Although she was generally unhappy in the Liu family during her two lifetimes, she did have some happy memories.
During the summer harvest, she lay on the pile of wheat straw and looked at the stars. When others went into the water to fish, she also picked up a small fish that others had thrown ashore and missed.
There was an open-air movie being shown in a nearby village, so she followed the villagers and walked over ten miles to watch it.
Even when life was difficult, she tried hard to find the beauty in life.
Zheng Tiansen thought that it was probably Linglong's open-minded and cheerful personality that prevented her from losing her shining points and unique personality in an environment like the Liu family.
Time passed quickly as they chatted. When Linglong realized they had entered the city, she felt that the road into the city seemed to have become shorter.
Their first stop was the supply and marketing cooperative. Zheng Tiansen found a place to park the car, and the two of them walked into the cooperative together.
The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, especially Zheng Tiansen, who was wearing a cadre military uniform with four pockets, and he attracted a lot of attention when he walked on the street.
After entering the supply and marketing cooperative, Zheng Tiansen looked at Linglong. "What do you want to buy? I'll go with you."
"No, Brother Zheng, go and see what you want to buy. I can go shopping by myself."
"Okay, I'll go and have a look too." In fact, he wanted to buy something.
As the Chinese New Year was getting closer, there were many people buying things in the supply and marketing cooperative. The two of them agreed to wait at the door on the first floor if they couldn't find it, and then they separated.
Linglong went straight to the food counter, while Zheng Tiansen went to the women's clothing counter.
Seeing him standing in front of the counter, the sales clerks who usually didn't pay much attention to people became enthusiastic.
"Comrade from the People's Liberation Army, would you like to buy some clothes?"
"Well, let me see, do you have any lesbian hats?"
"Yes, yes, we just got some hats from the sea, they are very popular."
"Then please show it to me."
"Okay, wait a moment."
After a while, the salesperson came over with several hats.
Zheng Tiansen was a little disappointed when he saw it. The red knitted hat he wanted most was not there, because he thought the red knitted hat would best match Linglong's red scarf.
But it would be okay to buy Linglong a special hat. At worst, he could ask his mother or some other friend to send him a suitable one.
We don’t have it here, but you can buy it from the capital or Haihai.
After making the decision, Zheng Tiansen chose the one he thought looked the best, paid for the ticket, packed the hat, and went to find Linglong.
Linglong ate all the biscuits she bought last time, so she bought some more this time.
When Zheng Tiansen came over, she was hesitating whether to buy a bucket of malted milk.
The remaining money is enough to buy this ticket.
"Comrade, please help me get two buckets of malted milk." Zheng Tiansen's voice came from behind her, and he handed over some money and tickets.
Two buckets of malted milk were quickly filled and handed over.
Zheng Tiansen took it and looked down at Linglong.
"Is there anything else you want to buy?"
Linglong quickly shook her head and didn't dare to speak even if she was asked.
"If there's nothing left, let's go."
When the two of them walked out together, Zheng Tiansen handed over the hat he had bought.
"Linglong, this is for you."
When she opened the paper wrapping and saw it was a hat, Linglong was a little surprised.
Before she could say anything, Zheng Tiansen said, "I've already bought it, you can't refuse. Everyone knows we're in town together, and as a couple, it's only natural for me to buy you something."
"Okay then." Linglong took the hat and became happy.
How many people would not be happy to receive gifts?
As for the two barrels of malted milk, she thought Zheng Tiansen wanted to buy them himself.
Liu Baogen got a ride and arrived in the city early. He and Xu Yingying had already obtained their marriage certificate and became a legal couple.
But when they received the marriage certificate, there wasn't much joy on his face.
Finally got the certificate, what she wished for came true. Xu Yingying was so happy.
To celebrate, she took Liu Baogen to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.
Liu Baogen now lacked patience with her and was unwilling to accompany her at all times. When Xu Yingying was squeezing at the counter, he went to the door to get some fresh air.
He saw Zheng Tiansen and Linglong walking over while chatting and laughing. Seeing Zheng Tiansen was there, he subconsciously hid behind a pillar.
"I'll put the things in the car first. You wait for me at the door for a while. Let's go eat nearby."
"good."
Watching Zheng Tiansen walk away, Liu Baogen immediately came out.
"Linglong!" He looked surprised.
