It turned out that on the day of Gu Anyang's wedding, several of his good friends went to the banquet.
Among them, there was a man who was still single and fell in love with Gu Linger. Yes, that man was Da Liu. Da Liu fell in love with Gu Anyang and ran to Gu Anyang to act as a matchmaker.
Gu Anyang looked Da Liu up and down, shook his head regretfully, and made Da Liu very anxious.
"What's wrong? Is she dating? Engaged? Or already married?" That couldn't be right. He had clearly heard the woman at the next table say, "The captain's family only has one unmarried daughter. I wonder which young man in that family would be so lucky."
Gu Anyang shook his head. "My sister doesn't have a boyfriend, isn't engaged, and hasn't even married yet. But she's a very clean person. You pee without washing your hands, pick your feet, and eat..."
Obvious disdain, naked disdain.
Da Liu wanted to stick his neck out as he did before and say confidently that this was what a man should do, but then he changed his mind and his shoulders drooped.
None of the brothers and sisters in the Gu family are ugly. Gu Ling'er, who was born in the same mother as Gu Anyang, is also very good-looking, otherwise Liu Da would not have been able to forget her after just one sight.
After two days of decadence, this guy became full of energy again. He followed Gu Anyang every day and did whatever Gu Anyang did.
When Gu Anyang brushed his teeth, he brushed his teeth. When Gu Anyang washed his face with soap, he followed suit, feeling a toothache. When Gu Anyang washed his hands before meals, he followed suit. When Gu Anyang washed his hands after defecation, he followed suit...
Da Liu comes from a good family, otherwise he would not have been able to enter the transportation department of the cannery. He is generous, courageous and loyal. He is about the same height as Gu Anyang.
He is also a well-known unmarried young man in the cannery. Many people want to introduce him to a partner, and many unmarried female employees want to date him.
Gu Anyang thought he was just a flash in the pan, but he didn't expect him to be able to stick with it. After several months of observation, Gu Anyang finally gave in.
It's just that this guy has high standards. Either this one is too short or that one is too thin, or the girl is too vain. On the first blind date, he either asks for a job or asks for a job for his brother.
As time went by, the idea of dating gradually faded, but after falling in love with Gu Linger at first sight, he couldn't stop. Fortunately, he also knew the rules and would not go to her without Gu Anyang's knowledge.
From then on, every time Gu Anyang and Chen Qiangwei went back on vacation, Da Liu would come to their house with gifts, saying that he came to visit his uncle and aunt, but his eyes would not move when he saw Gu Linger, and his flattering mouth would stammer.
This happened again and again, and not only Gu Ling'er, but also Gu Aiguo and Liu Jinhua felt that this young man had taken a fancy to their Ling'er.
So it was natural for Gu Ling'er and Da Liu to start dating, and after a few months they were at the stage of discussing marriage.
Chen Qiangwei looked at Gu Linger with a sweet face, opened and closed her mouth, but the words on her lips did not come out.
What? You mean the college entrance exam is coming up around this time next year. Why don't you get into university and then find someone there?
Isn't this like an old man hanging himself because he is tired of living?
It was Gu Linger who noticed Chen Qiangwei's dilemma. "Sister-in-law, just say whatever you want to say. You're making me feel really uneasy."
Chen Qiangwei thought for a moment and asked, "Do you remember Jiang Feng, our educated youth team leader? The one who went to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University?"
Gu Linger was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "He, remember? He comes back to see Sister Taohua and Little Stone every winter and summer vacation. After graduating this year, he applied for a job in our city and brought Sister Taohua and Little Stone to the city. Even my parents said that Sister Taohua and Uncle Barefoot made the right choice."
Chen Qiangwei nodded, "Yes, Comrade Jiang Feng is indeed a rare good comrade, but think about the educated youth in our commune, how many of those who went to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University ever came back?
If, and I mean if, I'm not saying you have bad character, but if we have the opportunity to go to college in the future, but your partner doesn't, will you regret marrying him?"
Gu Linger groaned, "Sister-in-law, I understand what you mean. You're overthinking it. Even if I could go to college, I wouldn't go out of town.
To be honest, I really like being a teacher. I often think that if I can go to university, I will go to the normal university in our province and become a teacher after graduation."
After saying that, Gu Linger looked at Chen Qiangwei embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, you don't think I'm fanciful, do you?"
After hearing what Gu Linger said, Chen Qiangwei realized that she was overthinking it. She already had her own life plan.
She leaned close to Gu Linger's ear and whispered, "No, to be honest, I sometimes dream of myself sitting in the examination room. I just hope that my dream will come true soon."
Her words made Gu Linger giggle.
Da Liu's parents were very happy to know that their youngest son had a girlfriend. Da Liu and Gu Ling'er had also met his parents.
When she knew that Gu Linger had a rural household registration, Da Liu's mother was a little unhappy. However, when she learned that Gu Linger's second aunt, second uncle, eldest brother and his wife, fifth brother and his wife were all formal workers, her fourth brother was a company commander in the army, and her father was a team leader, and her other two brothers were a scorer and a tractor driver, her unhappiness disappeared.
Da Liu's parents are also formal employees. After his brother and sister-in-law got married, they applied for company housing and moved out. Now three people in the family are formal employees, so they don't have to worry about not being able to support Gu Linger and future grandchildren.
Besides, after we get married, I can find her a formal job in the city. As long as I can find one, she will have a city household registration and can eat commercial grain.
So, the parents of both sides met at the state-owned restaurant where Chen Qiangwei worked and set a date for them to get married, which was the twelfth day of the first lunar month after the New Year.
After marriage, because of work, Gu Linger still lived in Huaihua Brigade and only went to the city on weekends.
This made Liu's parents very anxious. They were looking forward to having a grandson, but they only spent four days together a week. Where would the grandson come from?
So the two of them thought about finding a job for Gu Ling'er. In June 1977, after much inquiry, Da Liu's parents finally found a formal job for Gu Ling'er in the city as a salesperson in a grocery store. For this job, they even owed the eldest brother a favor.
Gu Aiguo was both happy and helpless. He was happy that his in-laws had made plans for his daughter, and the two young people were finally no longer separated; but he was helpless that the elementary school had to find a new teacher again. This time, not only did they have to change teachers, but they also had to elect a new principal.
In this way, Gu Linger also went to work in the city, and spent more time with Da Liu, and their relationship heated up rapidly.
Three months later, Liu's parents finally became grandparents again, and they were overjoyed.
In this way, time passed unknowingly and it was October 1977.
