Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Is he not good at that?
"From our village? What are the other party's conditions?" Lu Qinghe asked.
"There's a guy from our village whose wife died without any children. He's a bit old, only 38 years old." Zhou Feng interrupted, "Qinghe is only 25, can bear children, can work, and is not bad looking. Not to mention my mother's side, I also have someone here to propose marriage."
"You're talking about the son of Old Man Zhang at the head of the village. He's a bit old at 38." Xue Lanhua, remembering Lu Qinghe's conditions, shook her head and continued, "Aunt Guo introduced him to me. Your second aunt also knows him. He's the grandson of Mr. Zhao's cousin, Zhao Zhanming, from the family east of Zhaojiagou."
"Zhao Zhanming?"
Hearing this, Lu Qinghe paused and repeated the name again. It sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.
"Well, do you know Qinghe?" Zhou Feng frowned as if he thought of something.
"I don't know him, but the name seems familiar to me. He lives nearby, so I guess someone mentioned him before."
Having said that, Lu Qinghe still felt something was wrong. After writing down the name, he continued to listen to Xue Lanhua.
Xue Lanhua: "Zhao Zhanming is thirty years old. I heard he's quite handsome. Most importantly, he's a soldier, so he should be a decent person. Also, he has a stable monthly income, so if I marry him, I'll have no problem making ends meet. But..."
With such good conditions, there must be some limitations.
"But Zhao Zhanming's family situation is a bit complicated."
"complex?"
"Well, Zhao Zhanming has two children. The older one is said to be the child of a comrade he adopted in the army. He hasn't been home except for Chinese New Year. The younger one is only five years old and is the child of his ex-wife."
"After Zhao Zhanming divorced his ex-wife three years ago, the child was too young, so he was left in his hometown with his parents. This time, he came back on home leave, and I heard he wanted to take the child to live with the army. He also requested that they accompany him to the army after marriage."
Zhou Feng: "Oh, where did he serve in the army? If Qinghe and he really get together, Qinghe might live a good life if he goes to a better place."
Xue Lanhua: "In the northernmost part of Hua City, our province has a special situation. It's right next to the border, and the further north you go, the colder it gets. It can freeze people to death in winter. I heard that Zhao Zhanming's ex-wife refused to join the army because the conditions there were so bad. Their long-term separation made their relationship worse, so they divorced."
Lu Qinghe pondered for a moment and said, "I can agree to join the army. It's nothing."
Could the conditions be any worse than Dagu Village?
Although the military district where the other side is stationed is adjacent to the border, since there are conditions for accompanying the troops there, the country will definitely provide corresponding living facilities for the families of soldiers.
She still remembered the TV series she had watched before. Although it was cold there, there was a boiler room for heating long before the founding of the People's Republic of China, so at least the indoor temperature would not be cold in winter.
In recent years, the Third Front Movement has coincided with the coming and going of people. With the popularity, there is a market, and the supplies may be better than those in the urban area.
Besides, Hua City is where Wu Xingliang went. If someone as cunning as him is willing to stay in Hua City, it must be good.
"There's one more thing." Xue Lanhua frowned. "This is a knot in my heart. Zhao Zhanming is an adopted child of the Zhao family. When they marry their daughter, who wouldn't want to find a biological mother-in-law for their daughter? This adoption relationship is definitely not as good as a biological one. I'm worried that he will treat you badly."
Lu Qinghe smiled: "Mom, this is even less of a concern. Think about Wu Xingliang's mother, isn't she also his biological mother? Whether she is close to him or not depends on her character. What if she is a good person? Besides, he has already said that he will follow the army. By then, he might not see her once a year. It doesn't matter whether he is close to her or not."
"That's right. As long as Zhao Zhanming treats you well, that's fine. I asked him about it, and he has a good personality. After all, he's a soldier, so he's definitely serious and responsible."
"Have I told them about my situation?"
"I've already mentioned that Zhao Zhanming's family has always wanted him to find another one. He finally got some leave and wants to settle down as soon as possible. If you agree, I'll go find Aunt Guo tonight and arrange a time for you two to meet."
"Yes."
Lu Qinghe nodded without hesitation. She had never expected to meet a soldier. Even if the man looked a little ugly, she could tolerate it. Moreover, the matchmaker also said that he had a good appearance, so he should not be so ugly that he could not be seen by others.
After listening to this, Zhou Feng looked down at his feet, then glanced at Xue Lanhua, as if he had something to say but didn't dare to. After hesitating for a long time, he took advantage of Xue Lanhua cooking and tugged at Lu Qinghe's clothes.
"Qinghe, I have something to tell you."
"What's wrong, sister-in-law?"
"It's that Zhao Zhanming. I'm not asking if you know him. My mother's family is in the west end, close to Zhaojiagou. I've heard my eldest sister mention this guy before. He... he seems..."
Zhou Feng's face flushed suddenly, and she pulled Lu Qinghe to the door again, lowering her voice: "Qinghe. I heard that his ex-wife didn't follow him to join the army. Besides disliking the poor conditions, she also disliked his lack of sexual skills!"
"……ah?"
That aspect, which aspect?
"Oh, it's just that crotch thing that's not okay!"
Lu Qinghe understood instantly. She was not completely clueless. Her face became a little hot as she asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, how did you hear about this?"
"Think about it. He left home just a few days after marrying his ex-wife. Normal newlyweds would be tired of each other by now, so how could his ex-wife just let him go? Besides, it's fine if a man doesn't get married, but once he gets married and has tasted the sweetness of marriage, he'll always be thinking about it. It's okay that he's in the army and rarely comes home. He hasn't thought about getting married in three years. If he really wanted to, he wouldn't even wait a year!"
Lu Qinghe pondered: "But doesn't he have a child? Besides, he's a soldier. If his wife won't let him go, he has to leave."
"You girl!"
Zhou Feng felt very disappointed, but then she thought that Wu Xingliang had been gone for six years, and her sister-in-law had probably forgotten about the matter and there was nothing she could do about it, so she could only sigh.
Zhou Feng: "Qinghe, I won't be shy with you. Just say what you want to say. This is for your own good! Having children doesn't mean a man is capable. Whether he is capable depends on many factors, such as the size, duration, and even the degree of hardness..."
“Cough cough cough…”
Lu Qinghe knew that people in the mountain village in the early years were sometimes more open than in modern society, but she never expected that her sister-in-law would give her sister-in-law sex education. She coughed so hard that her face turned red.
Zhou Feng quickly stroked Lu Qinghe's back, saying, "Let's not talk about Wu Xingliang's misfortune. I really don't want to see you just get out of one hell of a pit and jump into another to be a widow. You're only 25, you've got a lot of life ahead of you!"
Lu Qinghe swallowed his saliva and laughed, "Sister-in-law, who can say for sure without trying it? Maybe his ex-wife doesn't want to go away?"
"Anyway, my eldest sister from my mother's family once told me that most men are just like silver-clad spears. Some of them look tall and strong, but in fact, they are a bunch of assholes who can't even stand up in bed."
Zhang Meizhi, who had just left, happened to walk to the door. Upon hearing this, she chuckled, "Why are you two talking about this together? What's wrong, sister-in-law? Is my brother really that arrogant?"
"Go away!" Zhou Feng rolled her eyes. "We're talking about someone else."
"Who is it? I want to listen too."
"You don't know him."
Zhang Meizhi is a person who doesn't keep her mouth shut, and many family matters are rarely discussed with her.
Zhou Feng and Lu Qinghe exchanged glances, and the two of them went back into the kitchen tacitly.
"If you're embarrassed about that, Mom, I'll ask for you later... Oh, as a daughter-in-law, I can't even open my mouth to tell my mother-in-law. So, I'll ask my eldest sister."
Lu Qinghe smiled and nodded to express his gratitude. Seeing that the meal was about to start, he stopped talking.
As for whether that thing is feasible...
In fact, she didn't really care.
Originally, Lu Qinghe just wanted to find someone to team up with. Now she was lucky enough to meet a soldier who could be brought out of the mountains. No matter what, she had to go and meet him first.
"After eating, I'm going out to ask Aunt Guo how to thread the insoles. My second son's wife will clean it up. When I come back, I saw someone catching cicada monkeys at the intersection. Qingshan Feng'er, you two take the kids and go touch Qiu."
As soon as she finished her meal, Xue Lanhua put down her chopsticks, gave her instructions, turned around and walked out the door. Not long after, she returned home in a hurry with a happy face.
"My daughter, Aunt Guo has made an appointment for you to meet Zhao Zhanming the day after tomorrow morning."
