The weather is good today, and the midday sun feels warm on people.
Jiang Baoye suggested eating in the yard, which was a spacious place.
Wang Xiuzhi, her two daughters-in-law, and four grandchildren sat at a separate table.
Originally, Jiang Qingyue also wanted to sit at that table.
But Song Zhihe saw this and immediately said, "Comrade Jiang Qingyue, come over here and sit with us!"
Jiang Baoye was stunned, thinking that the leader just wanted to discuss the things in the newspaper with Qingyue.
He quickly responded, "Yes, let Qingyue come over and learn from the leaders."
Jiang Qingyue had no choice but to walk over and sit next to her three brothers.
Just as they started eating, a tall figure suddenly came in from outside.
Wang Xiuzhi was the first to react, "Hey, Zhengting is back? Come in quickly."
Hearing the familiar name, Jiang Qingyue paused holding the chopsticks and quickly looked over.
Zhou Zhengting was seen standing at the door with his luggage in his hands, looking exhausted.
Before he could open his mouth, his father Jiang Baoye spoke first, "You've come just in time. We've just started. Put down your things and come over to eat."
Zhou Zhengting pursed his lips and said, "No, I have something urgent to do with Qingyue."
Jiang Qingyue didn't delay when she saw that his face looked a little strange, so she walked over quickly.
"Dad, Mom, you guys eat first, I'll go home and see you."
Jiang Baoye didn't know what to say, so he just nodded and said, "Okay, Zhengting has been in the car for such a long time, go home and get him something to eat."
After the two men left, Song Zhihe finally realized, "Was that your son-in-law?"
Jiang Baoye nodded, "Yes, it's Qingyue's husband. The two of them got married at the end of the year. Zhou Zhiqing's family is from Beijing. Something happened at home a few days ago, so he just rushed back."
Song Zhihe suddenly realized, no wonder he accompanied Jiang Qingyue to the newspaper office last time.
It turns out that the two people have this kind of relationship.
I couldn't help but sneer in my heart, blaming myself for realizing it so late.
......
Jiang Qingyue had just left the house and was about to talk to Zhou Zhengting.
I saw that he had turned around and was walking towards home with his luggage.
Jiang Qingyue didn't think much about it, just thought he was in a bad mood, so she jogged after him.
"Zhou Zhengting, how is your mother's illness?"
Zhou Zhengting didn't look back, just kept walking, "He has been discharged from the hospital, and he is fine for now."
Hearing this, Jiang Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that he's okay. It's easy to feel uncomfortable when you're old. You just need to take care of yourself. Don't worry too much."
Seeing that Zhou Zhengting didn't respond, Jiang Qingyue didn't say anything else and followed him all the way back home.
As soon as she entered the door, Jiang Qingyue took the initiative to ask, "You haven't had lunch yet? What do you want to eat? I'll make something for you."
Zhou Zhengting hesitated as if he was thinking about something. "No, I'm not hungry."
Seeing his serious expression, Jiang Qingyue thought that she had upset him in some way.
Could it be because of what I saw Song Zhihe at home just now?
Jiang Qingyue thought about it and decided to take the initiative to talk about it. "Our brigade is going to build a primary school. Editor-in-Chief Song and the commune leaders are coming here today to assess and select teachers."
"By the way, I also signed up for the selection. Guess what the result was?"
Zhou Zhengting narrowed his eyes and said, "I think I've been selected."
Jiang Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was finally willing to talk, and planned to tell him about the child as soon as possible.
After all, the child is not hers alone.
"Zhou Zhengting, I have something important to discuss with you."
Before she could continue speaking, Zhou Zhengting suddenly stood up and said, "Jiang Qingyue, I'm going to join the army."
Jiang Qingyue thought there was something wrong with her ears.
She looked up at him in disbelief, "You mean you want to join the army?"
"Um."
"when?"
"Tomorrow, I came back just to pack my things. Once the certificate is issued, I will leave tomorrow."
Jiang Qingyue was stunned for a long time, twisted her hands together, and asked with difficulty, "Why?"
Zhou Zhengting didn't dare to look into her eyes, so he just turned his eyes away and explained,
"My mother got so angry when she found out about our marriage that she had a heart attack. She was hospitalized for surgery just before the Spring Festival and now she can't stand any more stress."
"I have promised my family that I would sign up for the military in Beijing before returning and I got a place in the army."
"Jiang Qingyue, we had already agreed to divorce, and now it's just a little earlier. It's better for you and me."
Jiang Qingyue heard every word Zhou Zhengting said clearly.
I never thought that the fact that two people got married would make his mother so angry?
Although she was not the one who leaked the news, she was the source of the matter.
Logically, his reaction was not wrong.
It just so happened that she had just found out that she was pregnant.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyue suddenly had no idea.
I had originally wanted to tell him the news with some excitement, but now I'm just glad that he interrupted me.
Jiang Qingyue tried her best to control her emotions and not show them, then she stood up and walked towards the stove.
"I'll just make some noodles and we'll talk while we eat."
Jiang Qingyue rolled the noodles when she went out in the morning. At that time, she was thinking that if he suddenly came back today, he could still have some hot soup noodles.
Thinking back on it now, my behavior was really ridiculous.
While cooking the noodles, Jiang Qingyue quickly calmed herself down and thought about what to do next.
She still wants to keep this child.
Firstly, the shock she suffered in the hospital last time was too great, and she really didn’t have the courage to undergo surgery under the current medical conditions.
Even though her life was not in danger, the doctor said that given her current physical condition, if she had a miscarriage, it would be difficult for her to have a child again.
Secondly, it was incredible that she came to this era alone. Perhaps this child was destined by God to accompany her.
According to the expected date of delivery, the college entrance examination should be resumed soon after the child is born.
It will be just the right time for you to take the college entrance examination after you have fully recuperated.
But before she leaves here to go to college in another province, the child needs a father.
Otherwise, gossip would drown her and her mother.
If they follow the previous agreement between the two, they can only divorce this winter, so the timing is just right.
At that time, as long as Zhou Zhengting can get a divorce approval from the army, the two of them can meet in the county town and get divorced.
He won't be told about the child.
When the time comes, I will take my child to college by myself. It will be hard, but I can always find a way to solve it.
At worst, just say that the child’s father is dead.
Anyway, when you are away from home, no one will bother to care about your past.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyue secretly made up her mind to negotiate with Zhou Zhengting.
In order to convince him, Jiang Qingyue even put a poached egg in his noodles.
