I don’t know how long I had been waiting, but the day for training finally arrived, and our first training group happened to be Pei Qingshan and his group.
I thought, even if I wasn't matched with his company, I should be able to see him this time, right? I would be satisfied if I could talk to him for a few more words.
During the training, our two companies were very close to each other.
The older sisters in my class saw that I kept looking at him, so they teased me and asked me who I was looking at.
I pointed at Pei Qingshan and said to them, "He and I are from the same village. I want to marry him, and his mother also said that she wants me to be his wife."
They started to make a noise, so I quickly said, "Don't be so exaggerated, sisters. He doesn't know that I like him and want to marry him. I want to take it slow. You have to keep it a secret for me."
In this way, I began my long journey of pursuing my husband. I wrote letters, asked him out shopping, visited the supply and marketing cooperative, and even went to the movies together.
He never rejected me. At the beginning, when I occasionally did some intimate actions towards him, he would deliberately avoid me. I could only explain that he was used to being intimate with the older girls in his class and he forgot about it for a while.
After listening to my explanation, he didn't take it seriously, but later he became more and more accustomed to my intimate actions, and also got used to going out to the movies and visiting the supply and marketing cooperative with me.
Sometimes, even when I was not feeling well, the older sisters in my class would deliberately inform him.
At first he was a little confused and asked them why they informed him?
The sisters were very fierce and told him directly that we were from the same place and it would be too inhumane if he didn’t care about me at all.
He should also think this is the case.
Later, without the sisters having to say anything, she would always show concern for me and my pursuit was very effective.
I thought to myself, as long as he slowly gets used to me, he will become addicted and will never be able to quit, right?
With this idea in mind, one time after going to the movies, he sent me back to the army and I asked him out.
"Comrade Pei Qingshan."
"What's wrong? Why are you calling me so formally all of a sudden? You don't usually call me like that?"
Of course. Normally, to highlight our intimacy, I call him Qingshan, and occasionally I call him Brother Qingshan. Now that it’s so formal, of course it’s different from usual.
I took a deep breath, closed my eyes and said, "Comrade Pei Qingshan, I want to report my relationship with you. Are you willing to date me?"
I closed my eyes and waited for his answer, because I felt that with our current relationship, everything would be a natural thing. I could feel that he cared about me a lot. Even if he rejected me, we could still be friends in the future, right?
The waiting time is always long.
I don’t know how long I waited, but suddenly I was gently hugged.
"Of course I am willing." Pei Qingshan did not reject me. He said, "In fact, I should be the one to bring up this matter. I discussed it with my classmates a few days ago. How did I tell you, Liu Ping, you just need to wait for two more days."
I shook my head. "I can't wait any longer. Let's do it today. From today on, you are my partner."
"good."
His tone was as gentle as ever, and we started our interaction in an ordinary way.
Occasionally there are surprises in the ordinary.
He would buy gifts for me, and I would also refer to the suggestions of the older sisters in my class and give him things that his partner would give him.
We gradually got used to each other's company, and whenever we had a day off, we would immediately go to the old place and make an appointment to go out together.
It was just as I imagined, there were no quarrels and we never got angry. Everyone who saw us in love said that we were really in love. Although we weren't married yet, we acted like a married couple most of the time.
Every time they say these words, I feel sweet in my heart.
I also asked Pei Qingshan when to file the marriage registration because I wanted to start a family with him.
He said he had asked his family. After all, it was better to tell his family about such a big event as marriage.
I told him proudly at the time: "Your mother said that I know you very well and she is looking forward to having me as her daughter-in-law."
I had thought before that Pei Qingshan would not have any feelings for me, would reject me, and would fall in love with someone else, but I had never thought that his mother would dislike me.
His mother has always known about it. I lost my parents when I was very young. She loved me very much and told me many times that she wanted a daughter like me. However, she was injured when giving birth to Pei Qingshan and could no longer have children. That's why she raised me as a daughter.
That year we went out shopping and encountered an unfair incident on the road. Pei Qingshan fought bravely for justice, but was reported to the army and received a disciplinary punishment.
At that time, he was facing promotion to non-commissioned officer, but because of this punishment, all his efforts were invalidated, so he finally chose to retire.
He had already retired, so how could I stay in the army? Of course I retired with him.
After returning to the village, the village party secretary really kept the house I used to live in for me. I thought I wouldn’t be able to live there for much longer.
After all, we have both retired from the army and are not young anymore, so we should get married as soon as possible.
But I didn't wait for Pei Qingshan to tell me the time of marriage. I only waited for his mother to come to my door and kneel down to beg me.
"Xiao Ping, Mom also raised you as her daughter, so please don't harm Qingshan, okay? Mom heard that women who left the army can't have children. Mom is not in good health now, and she just wants to see Qingshan's child born. Please help Mom and separate from Qingshan, okay?"
After she finished speaking, she bent her knees and knelt down. How could I let her kneel like this, so I quickly helped her up.
