After all, young, promising and handsome men like Zhou Yuanzheng and Lu Yunshan are also very popular. Soldiers are very popular these days. If they hadn't been engaged a long time ago, matchmakers would have been clamoring for them. Now that their fiancées have come to the island, many people are waiting to see what kind of woman can marry them.
At the water wells on the island, women gathered in groups of three or four. Although every family compound on the island had a water room, due to the changeable climate on the island and the incomplete facilities, there was not water every day. Most of the time, women had to fetch water from the wells. Therefore, this was also a place for sharing information. If there was any disturbance in any family, it would be spread throughout the island by the people here in less than a day.
They gathered together, cracking sunflower seeds they had picked up and gossiping, "Have you heard that Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou and Deputy Battalion Commander Lu's fiancées are actually sisters? I wonder whose daughters they are, but they are so lucky that they both married such handsome men."
"Who said it wasn't true? A few years ago, I wanted to marry my sister to them, but she had already been engaged. What a pity."
Another person also agreed, "Yeah, my husband said that."
"The last time his sister came from her hometown, I don't know where she ran into Deputy Captain Zhou. She came back and asked us about it. I thought it would be nice to be related to Deputy Captain Zhou. She's good-looking and capable, and if she marries him, she'll be the captain's wife. Unfortunately, he rejected me without even meeting me. Sigh..."
When these words were said, the people around had some contempt in their eyes. Everyone knew that the two of them were good candidates for husbands, but they also had to see if they were worthy. Her sister was big and strong, and had never been to school. How could she be so bold as to propose marriage to Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou and Deputy Battalion Commander Lu?
But it's really a pity. Who wouldn't want to introduce a girl to them? She has a high salary, no worries about food, and her family conditions are also good. "I don't know what kind of luck those two sisters have that they can't marry them." Someone said sourly.
"Alas, I think those who can marry them should not be bad themselves," someone sighed. It was a pity that she didn't have such luck. If she could become relatives with these two people, maybe her man's future would be guaranteed.
"That's hard to say," someone suddenly interrupted.
"What do you mean by that?" Hearing this, the people around him became interested. "What do you mean by unpredictable? Old Chen, do you know something?"
The daughter-in-law of the old Chen family squinted her eyes mischievously, then grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the person next to her, and then said slowly, "I tell you, I have seen the fiancée of Deputy Battalion Commander Lu..."
As he said this, he curled his lips in disdain, "It's just like that, nothing special."
Old Chen's wife moved automatically, and the man whose claws were caught turned pale. But thinking that Old Chen's wife was the most informed about the island, she wanted to know what happened, so she didn't care and hurriedly urged him, "How is it? Do you think he looks good?"
"I see, it's just that..." She lowered her voice slightly, "It's not a good style."
"What?" Someone screamed, and Old Chen's wife was startled. She glared at him, "What are you talking about? You're talking so loudly, you want everyone to know, right?"
Everyone seemed to know something serious, and without caring too much, they hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by bad style?"
"It has only been a short time since these two people submitted their marriage reports, and they haven't been approved yet. You all know this, right? But I heard that Lu Yunshan's wife has already moved into the Lu family before she got married. Tsk tsk, how shameless! How can a young lady be so eager to do something like that?"
"What? They lived together before getting married. So did they live in the same room or separate rooms?"
Old Chen's wife smiled maliciously, "How can outsiders know this? But think about it, Deputy Battalion Commander Lu is already 25 years old..."
