Chapter 12
Xia Qingtang blushed immediately. How come Hu's mother told Xie Jinxuan that she met three people in one day?
Although it is normal to meet several people before confirming a relationship, it is rare and bold for her to meet three people in one day.
She said a little embarrassedly: "Aunt Li has made an appointment for me. Is it too late to cancel it now?"
There were no mobile phones at that time and making a phone call was a luxury. If we temporarily changed the agreed upon thing, we might not have enough time to inform the two men.
Xie Jinxuan said, "How about I go and tell Aunt Li? And then I'll go run errands?"
"Let's not do that. That would be even more embarrassing." Xia Qingtang thought for a moment and said, "Comrade Xie, do you have no confidence in yourself?"
Xie Jinxuan nodded very honestly and said, "Yes, I'm worried that you might find someone else more suitable than me."
Xia Qingtang opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Xie Jinxuan continued, "Forget it, I still have to let you meet someone else. It's an appointment, and it's not good to break it. Besides, if someone else is really better than me, then don't be polite, choose someone else, as long as you live well, I will be very happy."
Xia Qingtang was stunned and didn't know what to say. From what she meant, it seemed that Xie Jinxuan was not only a good person, but his feelings for her were also the most sincere.
Seeing that Xia Qingtang was speechless, Xie Jinxuan quickly asked, "I didn't scare you, did I?"
Xia Qingtang quickly shook his head: "No, I'm just a little surprised, Comrade Xie, you are so... "
"I am sincere to you." Xie Jinxuan looked at her gently and said slowly in a very soft voice: "I don't know how to say anything else. I just want to tell you that if you choose me in the end, I will do my best to let you live a good life. You should be tired after saying so much. You should take a rest. I will ask the doctor if you need to pay attention to anything. I will come to see you later."
After saying that, Xie Jinxuan went out, leaving Xia Qingtang sitting against the head of the bed in a daze.
In her two lifetimes, this was the first time she had heard someone say such words.
Xie Jinxuan didn't say anything about love or affection, but his words made people feel at ease and happy.
In the afternoon, Xia Qingtang, in a good mood, met the remaining two people as scheduled. They were all accompanied by Hu's mother and seemed to be honest and loyal.
Both of them are about 1.8 meters tall. One works in a steel plant, and the other works in a state-owned food store. They both work in good units, so it should be easy for them to find partners. But they have some special circumstances, just like Xie Jinxuan. One has too many people living in his family and their shack can no longer accommodate them. The other has a medicine jar at home that costs money all year round and needs someone to take care of it, so the better girls are unwilling to choose them.
It just so happens that both of them have good working conditions and appearance, so they don't want to find a girl with average conditions, which makes it a difficult problem.
After the last young man left, Hu's mother asked her, "So, which one do you like?"
Xia Qingtang thought about it carefully and said, "Comrade Xie is better."
Xie Jinxuan is the friendliest one among the three, and Xia Qingtang always feels that the two of them are destined to be together.
"I also think Xiao Xie is better. Xiao Xie is the best looking and the most talkative. You see, three of them came to the hospital to see you, but Xiao Xie was the only one who brought a gift. How sensible she is. I also heard from Yueyue's mother that Xiao Xie's parents are kinder, not as fierce as Xiao Zhang's mother. You will suffer if you marry her. Let's not talk about Xiao Lin's mother. Her health is so poor. If you marry her, you will just serve her. I can't bear to let you go. No matter how you look at it, Xiao Xie is the best. I decided on Xiao Xie and turned down the other two." Mother Hu looked very happy. "It's good that you have decided on someone. When are you two going to meet your parents?"
"Wait for me to discuss it with Comrade Xie. We were not introduced by our families, so we can discuss these things among ourselves." Xia Qingtang said with a smile.
There is no problem in meeting the man's parents, but there is no need to meet her own parents. She will not let her family know about this before registering the marriage.
At the same time, she also has to solve the hidden danger of Kong Liangchao.
Before going to work yesterday morning, Xia Qingtang took the first bus to the other side of the city and sent some evidence anonymously to Xu Jianming. I believe he will receive the letter in the next two days.
She was recovering safely in the hospital. Xie Jinxuan acted quickly and came back with examination reports from two hospitals within two days, showing that she was a very healthy person.
"Then let's each get our own certificates, and when I'm discharged from the hospital, we'll go get the marriage certificate right away." Xia Qingtang said, "But you have to promise me one thing, we must keep our marriage a secret from my parents, and we can't let them know that we're registering."
"It's fine with me. My parents are not in a hurry to tell them. I'll take you back to meet them when the time is right. As for me, I'm really happy to marry you." Xie Jinxuan looked really happy. If this wasn't in the ward, he would have jumped up. "But even if we don't tell them, what if the person in your factory who issued the certificate to you tells your parents?"
"Don't worry, I have a way. I've already made an agreement with Uncle Hu and asked him to buy me two packs of good cigarettes. Then I'll give away all my meat coupons and industrial coupons for this month." Xia Qingtang said confidently.
This kind of certificate has to be obtained from the factory office. The director of the factory office is a slick middle-aged man who likes to enjoy himself and does not like to offend people. Many young people in the cotton mill have asked him for help. As long as the things are delivered, Director Huang will keep his mouth shut and will not say anything.
After that, if the young man's family members came to the factory, Director Huang could send them away with a few words, so Xia Qingtang had planned to get married secretly from the beginning.
After hearing this, Xie Jinxuan said, "I have some good cigarettes, specially supplied ones. You don't have to ask Uncle Hu to buy them. I'll bring them to you later. I also have meat coupons and industrial coupons. You can keep yours for yourself and give mine away."
Xia Qingtang hesitated for a moment and then agreed: "That's fine, we're getting married anyway, so we can keep our differences as family members."
Xie Jinxuan obviously liked the word "family". He repeated "family" and looked at Xia Qingtang happily, looking a little silly.
Xia Qingtang laughed along because she was also very happy.
Finding someone to marry was originally a stopgap measure, but Xia Qingtang didn't expect to find such a good person in such a hurry. She thanked God in her heart again.
The two looked at each other and laughed for a while, and Xia Qingtang suddenly said, "Comrade Xie, can I ask you a question?"
"Of course, you can ask anything you want."
"You must have been interested in me for a long time, right?"
"Well, it was quite early. To be frank, I have liked you for several years."
"Then... why didn't you come to see me after you came back from the army?" Xia Qingtang had actually wanted to ask him this question for a long time.
Xie Jinxuan looked like a generous person. She had no chance in the army before, but now that she was back in the city, why didn't he come to find her? Was it because his family was not well off?
Xie Jinxuan scratched the back of her head and whispered, "I didn't look for you because I wrote you a letter, but you didn't reply, so I thought... that must have been a rejection. So after I came back from the army, I definitely couldn't look for you. You rejected me, and I still looked for you, wouldn't that be too disrespectful to you? But that day I heard that Aunt Li was looking for a partner for you, and when I heard that I could meet your requirements, I plucked up the courage to try again. If it doesn't work again, I'll admit it. But, judging from your reaction, have you never received my letter?"
Xia Qingtang nodded vigorously: "I really haven't received it! Are you sure you wrote me a letter?"
"I'm sure. When I came back from my home leave, I heard that you were working in a cotton mill. I thought we were both old enough, so I asked your squad leader about your workshop and wrote you a letter. I also put a photo of me in military uniform in the letter, hoping that you would remember me. If you don't believe me, you can ask your squad leader, and he can prove that I asked about you." Xie Jinxuan said, "Later, I waited for your reply for more than half a year... If I had known that you hadn't rejected me, I should have written another letter! This is also my fault. I was too cowardly."
"It's not your fault. The letter was lost, how can I blame you?" Xia Qingtang felt very sorry. If she could receive Xie Jinxuan's letter, would she not have met Kong Liangchao in her previous life?
Xie Jinxuan said: "Although you didn't receive my letter, we are still together now!"
After saying that, he started laughing, and Xia Qingtang continued to laugh as well. She said, "Yeah, we finally got together."
The last life is the last life, and the present is the present, so there is nothing to regret at all.
After the two of them discussed some details, Xie Jinxuan left half a pound of egg cake and went back.
Xia Qingtang's hospitalization this time was paid by the government. The warehouse advanced the money for her, and the expenses were reimbursed after she was discharged from the hospital. So she ate and drank well, and could lie down every day without having to work. Her complexion looked much better than before.
The doctor examined Xia Qingtang and said she would be able to be discharged from the hospital in two days.
Before Xia Qingtang finished thanking the doctor, she saw Zhao Meizhen rushing over angrily. She didn't care that the doctors, nurses and the patient in the next bed were present, and she shouted, "Why haven't you been discharged yet? What serious injury did you suffer that makes you lie in the hospital like a spoiled lady? I tell you, you have to be discharged as soon as possible and go to the Kong family to apologize to Xiao Kong, otherwise, my retirement will be cancelled! Your brother won't be able to come back!"
Xia Qingtang sneered in her heart. She had long guessed that Kong Liangchao would do this.
She missed the criminal plan on the 31st because of her injury, and Kong Liangchao was not a patient person. He didn't know when Xia Qingtang would be able to recover and be discharged from the hospital, so the quickest and most direct way was to destroy Zhao Meizhen's retirement.
In this way, Xia Qinghai will not be able to return to the city, and Zhao Meizhen will definitely go crazy, and when she goes crazy, she will only cause trouble for Xia Qingtang.
