Later on, when Ruan Niannian almost didn't go back that day, she realized that autonomy had nothing to do with being on top or at the bottom.
The next day, when Pei Yuanzheng drove to pick her up to go to the commune, Ruan Niannian was still a little weak, but she forced herself to get in the car.
She also has to call her father, so she has to go.
The jeep started slowly, with a group of children chasing after it.
"A sedan. Look, it's a sedan."
"It must have been Uncle Yuanzheng who drove it back. He is the only capable one in our village."
"I will be the next capable person. I will also ask my dad to let me join the army!"
They seemed certain that they could serve in the army.
Ruan Niannian found it funny. Suddenly, Pei Yuanzheng handed her a cloth bag and motioned her to open it and take a look.
She opened it and saw crystal clear fruit candies of various colors inside. She opened one and put it in her mouth, then opened another and put it near Pei Yuanzheng's mouth.
Pei Yuanzheng frowned. He didn't like candy, but thinking that it was peeled by his wife, he put it in his mouth using her hand and licked her fingers.
Ruan Niannian was too lazy to even glare at him and asked him, "Are you going to give it to those children?"
"Well, since we bought so much, we might as well distribute some wedding candies in advance." Pei Yuanzheng said happily.
Yes, that’s right, wedding candy is something I will never save on in my life.
He deliberately drove the car very slowly so that Ruan Niannian could sit in the passenger seat and show her affection.
Ruan Niannian, who saw through his intention, smiled, and Pei Yuanzheng couldn't help but curl his lips at her bright look.
He yelled to the little kids behind him, "Everyone, stand at attention!"
The group of little brats actually stopped chasing and just stood straight where they were.
"Get ready to grab the wedding candy. Be careful. Don't push each other. Don't grab what's in other people's hands. Get ready! Go!"
As Pei Yuanzheng finished speaking, the little kids cheered and chased after him.
"Wedding candy! Wedding candy! It's Uncle Yuanzheng's wedding candy!"
"Uncle Yuanzheng is getting married! We will have a little brother to take care of her soon!"
"Aunt Yuanzheng is going to give us wedding candy!"
Amid their cheers, Ruan Niannian grabbed a handful of wedding candy and threw it back, and they immediately rushed forward to grab it.
Although they like to eat candy, they still try their best to abide by the rules set by Pei Yuanzheng. They are not allowed to snatch candy from others or push each other.
By the time Ruan Niannian had given all the candies in her hand, the little kids had already fallen far behind.
Pei Yuanzheng drove the jeep out of the village easily.
"Are you happy?"
Ruan Niannian nodded gently, "Not bad."
On the unpaved country dirt road, although the jeep was better than a bicycle, it was still very bumpy. We wobbled all the way into the commune and finally drove a good section of road.
Pei Yuanzheng parked the jeep next to the post office and asked Ruan Niannian to make a phone call first.
She nervously dialed Ruan's father's office number.
"Hello, comrade. This is the steel plant. Who are you?"
It wasn't Dad's voice.
Ruan Niannian asked: "Hello, I'm looking for Ruan Zhengyang."
"You are Deputy Director Ruan's daughter, right? I'm Xiao Zhang from the Propaganda Department. Deputy Director Ruan asked me to wait for your call here. He asked me to tell you that he bought a train ticket yesterday afternoon and has already left."
What?
So fast?
Ruan Niannian thanked her and hung up the phone.
Seeing her come out so quickly, Pei Yuanzheng, who was waiting at the door, asked doubtfully: "Did you get through?"
"Yes, it's connected. My father is already on the train coming here. The ticket was for yesterday afternoon." Ruan Niannian said calmly.
In fact, she was really looking forward to it, because she hadn't seen her parents for just a few months, but for a lifetime.
I don’t know whether Dad will come alone this time or with Mom.
Whether she is alone or with someone else, she is very content.
When Pei Yuanzheng heard that his father-in-law was coming, his muscles visibly tensed.
He's not even ready to meet his father-in-law yet.
He just retired from the army and hasn't started his career yet, so...how can he assure others that he can treat their daughter well?
I felt uneasy for a moment.
Pei Yuanzheng secretly cursed himself for being useless. Logically speaking, as someone who was on missions all year round, he should have a strong enough mentality. It was just meeting his father-in-law, so why was he so nervous?
After taking Ruan Niannian to the jeep, Pei Yuanzheng suddenly said, "Well, wife, I'm going to buy some cloth."
"Why buy that?" Ruan Niannian was puzzled. "Didn't you already buy me a lot of cloth? The clothes for the wedding are also ready. Why buy so much and pile it up there?"
Pei Yuanzheng straightened his clothes and said helplessly: "Wife, I originally wanted to wear a military uniform on the day of the wedding, but your father is coming over, so I have to wear something better and made of newer fabrics."
After he said this, Ruan Niannian understood what he meant. Pei Yuanzheng wanted to leave a good impression in front of his father-in-law.
If no one was coming to his house, he wouldn't need to dress up. He could just dress Ruan Niannian up beautifully.
Now that someone from the girl's family is coming, he has to cheer himself up.
"Okay, let's make two sets." Ruan Niannian looked at his clothes that were stretched tight by his muscles and was amused by his uneasiness. "Let my second sister-in-law make them for you. Make them looser to show your humanistic weakness."
To be honest, his muscular body doesn't make him look weak or frail at all. Anyone who sees him would say he is a rough guy.
In addition, his skin is tanned due to years of training, so he doesn't look weak at all.
Knowing that Ruan Niannian was teasing him, Pei Yuanzheng was not annoyed. He took the initiative to explain, "Wife, although you know that I have accepted a secret mission, my father-in-law doesn't know. He might think that I can only go to the fields to farm after retiring. I have to let him know that I have enough money to support you."
