Shao Yue's arrival was warmly welcomed by the entire Chen family.
Especially Chen Wuwen, there is no man who does not yearn to be a fighter jet, that is the romance engraved in their bones.
Even Bian Jiuxiang, who was in confinement after giving birth, tidied herself up and sat at the dining table, listening to the three men's conversation with bright eyes.
There was no way, it was her first time seeing a fighter pilot and she was extremely curious.
After dinner, Shao Zheng planned to clean up the dishes before leaving.
But Cao Qiuhua waved her hand and refused. She smiled and said, "No need for you. Shao Yue has been sitting in the car for five days and must be tired. Isn't the bathhouse open today? Take him to have a bath to relax. By the way, you should also go to bed early. Tomorrow is the official day."
Hearing this, thinking that he would have an official status tomorrow, Shao Zheng looked at his little object in a good mood.
He found that she was also looking at him with curved eyebrows, and the smile on his face could not help but become more prominent.
"Auntie likes you very much. I, the son-in-law, have to take a back seat." After leaving Chen's house, Shao Zheng pretended to be dissatisfied as the two brothers walked towards the single dormitory area.
Shao Yue also liked the atmosphere of the Chen family. Although he still didn't say much throughout the evening, he felt relaxed.
When she heard her brother complaining, she knew he was joking, so she just curled her lips slightly and ignored his sourness. Instead, she asked, "Have you grown taller again?"
The last time we met, my brother was only 21 years old and about the same height as me, but now he is a little taller than me.
"It's a little longer, but not much, about three centimeters."
"How did you get to know your sister-in-law?" Although Shao Yue looked cold and indifferent, he still cared a lot about his only younger brother. Based on his observations for one night, it was definitely not Chen Wuwen who introduced them to each other.
Speaking of this, Shao Zheng did not hide it from his elder brother and told him with a smile that he fell in love with Yu Yu at first sight. He even did not hide the anger that Lao Chen felt after knowing it.
When he heard that it was a love story, Shao Yue was stunned, and his mind couldn't help but recall the scene when he first saw Ran Shuang at the gate of the campus 13 years ago when he was in the first year of high school.
In fact, it has been a long time, and many of his memories about the two of them have become a little fuzzy.
The only thing is that the scene I encountered for the first time seemed to have taken root in my mind.
"Brother?"
Shao Yue's eyes cleared up and he came back to his senses in an instant: "What's wrong?"
"You're in my dorm now. What are you thinking about?"
"nothing."
Shao Zheng bent down and took out two pairs of slippers, threw one pair at his eldest brother's feet, and asked after he changed his shoes: "Are you still not going to get married?"
Shao Yue had only been used to being calm and serious over the years, not completely emotionless. Facing his brother's worried eyes, he raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and gave his true thoughts: "I don't know about the future, maybe I'll let it go completely."
In fact, after so many years of waiting, he himself was a little confused.
The past joys and sorrows, heart-wrenching pain and other intense emotions have all gradually become blurred with the passage of time.
To this day, Shao Yue is not even sure whether his persistence in searching for so many years is due to his still burning joy or his sense of responsibility.
But one thing is certain, he doesn't want to start a new relationship when he himself doesn't understand the situation.
"How long will it take to let go completely?" 12 years have passed. How many 12 years can a person have in his lifetime? Upon hearing this, Shao Yue's eyes flashed with confusion again: "I don't know, maybe 3 years, maybe 5 years, maybe 12 years, maybe..." a lifetime.
In the past, Shao Zheng might not have understood his elder brother's persistence, but since he got to know and fall in love with Yu Yu, he began to understand and empathize with her.
So after hearing this, he said nothing, but just patted his brother on the shoulder, silently encouraging him.
Seeing this, Shao Yue rarely raised the corners of his lips. Although the arc was very small, it was indeed a smile: "Don't worry about me, I'm actually fine. There is more to life than just love. Right now, my love is all for the vast blue sky and white clouds."
Shao Zheng smiled and joked: "Then you are quite philanthropic."
"That's right."
= This side.
The mother and daughter also went to the bathhouse to take a bath.
After returning home, Chen Nongmo skillfully mixed egg white and milk and applied it on his face.
I’m getting engaged tomorrow, so I have to look pretty.
She couldn’t finish one portion, so she gave half to Qiuhua’s mother.
When the time was up, after washing it off with warm water and applying the cream on her face, Cao Qiuhua couldn't help but sigh again: "It is a lot smoother, but it is too wasteful of food."
Chen Nongmo: "It's okay. Aren't we saving the egg yolks? We can fry them tomorrow. Besides, we don't make them every day. The two of us plus my sister-in-law can only use two egg whites in a week. We can afford it."
Cao Qiuhua just said that verbally. What woman in this world doesn't love beauty? If she had known this maintenance method in the past, she would definitely have been willing to spend two egg whites a week.
The mother and daughter chatted for more than half an hour, until her hair was done and dried, Cao Qiuhua urged her daughter to go back to her room: "Go to bed early, you have to look beautiful for your engagement tomorrow."
"Got it, I'll go to sleep soon."
Having said that, Chen Nongmo returned to his room and lay down in bed for only a few minutes before he got up again.
The future mother-in-law asked Shao Yue to bring her a gift.
I was too busy just now and didn’t have time to read it.
After opening the box, Chen Nongmo discovered that the gift was not quite what she had imagined.
There were indeed clothes in the box, but in addition, there was a small wooden jewelry box filled with various pieces of jewelry, all of which were exquisite.
Add to that what Brother Shao Zheng gave her two days ago, and even without mentioning what Qiuhua's mother and parents gave her, these things now are enough for her to live a worry-free life for the rest of her life.
But...it's too much.
Even though her family was well off in this life, she still felt a little hot.
Thinking of this, she put it away carefully again, planning to ask Brother Shao Zheng tomorrow.
= March 6, 1974, is a good day for marriage.
That day, Chen Nongmo was dug out of bed early by Qiuhua's mother.
Although it's an engagement, it's not much different from getting married these days.
As the only elder from her mother's family around, Cao Qiuhua was particularly concerned: "You don't have to do anything today, just be responsible for looking pretty."
Chen Nongmo yawned lazily: "I'd better cook with you."
In fact, both she and Shao Zheng would rather go to the cafeteria to prepare the banquet to save trouble.
But Qiuhua's mother didn't want to, and started preparing the ingredients a week ago.
Fortunately, there are only three tables in total, otherwise she would never agree.
"No need for you. I have made an appointment with Fang Ping and Xiu Zhen. They will come to help me. You are the bride today, so there is no need for you to do anything."
Chen Wuwen came out with the spittoon in his hand and suddenly came to his senses: "It's just an engagement, not a bride yet."
Cao Qiuhua didn't bother to pay attention to his son's occasional nervousness, and only asked: "Are Yueyue and Chaochao awake?"
Chen Wuwen: ".Wake up."
"Then I'll go in and take a look."
Chen Nongmo's eyes lit up, and he quickly followed Qiuhua's mother's steps: "I'll go too."
My little nephews have been changing their looks every day since they were born, and now they can be seen to have good looks.
It's soft and pink, and it rarely cries, so it's very cute.
Chen Wuwen. = The other side.
Shao Zheng woke up before the wake-up call without anyone calling him.
"What are you hesitating about? Aren't you going to do morning exercises?" Shao Yue, who was woken up, was no longer sleepy. He dressed neatly and prepared to go out for morning exercises. Seeing that his brother had been standing in front of the closet for several minutes without any movement, he simply reminded him.
Shao Zheng came back to his senses: "The brigade commander approved a day off today, so we won't be doing drills. Brother, which piece of clothing do you think is better to wear?"
As someone who had liked girls before, Shao Yue understood his brother's mood very well, so he came over with a serious and handsome face and helped him choose carefully.
Only then did I realize that my younger brother, a grown man, actually had quite a lot of clothes, filling up his rather large closet.
"Except for the military uniform, the rest were basically made for me by my son Yu Yu." Shao Zheng said casually.
If he couldn't see that his brother was showing off on purpose at this moment, he would be a fool.
But after he walked out the door, he shook his head with amusement.
Good!
= After feeling proud, Shao Zheng actually tried on clothes in the house for an hour.
In the end, just like the result of the trial a few days ago, Shao Zheng who appeared at Chen's house still chose a military uniform.
"Oh! The new son-in-law is here? He comes quite early. Come in quickly. Yu Yu is in her room." Fang Ping, who was helping in the kitchen, heard the noise at the door and stuck her head out to look.
When he saw it was Shao Zheng, he was stunned for a moment. He had never expected that he could come so early. While he warmly invited him in, there was a teasing smile on his face.
Just when he was about to tease the newcomer a little more, his eyes met the man behind Shao Tuan, and the words paused.
Then his eyes brightened instantly: "Hey hey! This is Shao Tuan's pilot brother, right?"
Shao Zheng I suddenly felt like my brother had stolen the spotlight from me as the groom. What was going on?
Of course, he soon realized that it was not an illusion.
The other two people who heard the noise in the kitchen also poked their heads out.
Shao Zheng began to roll up his sleeves: "Aunt, let me help."
Hearing this, Shao Yue, who had just hung up his military coat, also came over, obviously wanting to join in.
Cao Qiuhua waved at her son-in-law and said, "You are not needed. Go find Yu Yu. Shao Yue is here."
Fang Ping and Chen Xiuzhen nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, you go ahead and do your thing. Comrade Shao Yue is here."
Shao Zheng = "What's wrong?" Chen Nongmo was looking for a rubber band to braid a more sophisticated hairstyle, when he saw his girlfriend walk in with a strange look on her face, and asked in confusion.
Shao Zheng hugged his girlfriend into his arms, tilted his head and kissed the top of her head, then complained: "I feel like my elder brother has stolen the limelight from my groom. My aunts and their hearts are full of my brother."
"Pfft" Chen Nongmo didn't expect this to happen, and his eyes curved with laughter.
"You're still laughing!"
"Haha. Hmm."
Seeing that the little girl was laughing more and more unscrupulously, Shao Zheng, who was "angry and embarrassed", directly carried her to the dressing table, leaned over and skillfully blocked her lips.
No matter what era, young couples in love will always kiss and hug each other whenever they get together.
Chen Nongmo has become accustomed to men's kisses and likes them very much.
So when he leaned over and kissed her lips, she subconsciously raised her head to make up for the height difference between them.
But this time, maybe because of the engagement, Shao Zheng, who had never crossed the line before, kissed for a while and then pushed his tongue in forcefully for the first time . For Chen Nongmo, this kiss was a brand new experience.
It was even hotter, and it seemed to burn her whole body with a tingling and numb feeling like an electric shock.
It's so addictive that you can't help but crave for more.
With his mind in a daze, Chen Nongmo felt as if he had climbed onto the man's neck.
Then, she seemed to hear the man's low and fragmented laughter again.
But before he could be sure, he was pulled into an even more passionate entanglement . "That's great. We're engaged." After an unknown amount of time, Shao Zheng hugged his partner and sat her on his lap. He held her in his arms and sighed with satisfaction in his hoarse voice.
With a red face, Chen Nongmo, who was trying to calm his breathing, punched the man lightly: "I can see that you were just trying to be pitiful on purpose."
This guy looks like a gentleman, but he was easily embarrassed when he first started dating, and he was even more clumsy when kissing.
But now, in just over a month, he has become an old hand and can even do tongue kissing.
She had always thought that this person didn't know what a tongue kiss was.
"Yes, I did it on purpose." In response to the question from his girlfriend, the handsome Shao admitted it straightforwardly without any embarrassment.
"." Chen Nongmo raised his head and stretched out his hand to pull his face: "Where's your face? Don't you want it anymore?"
"Well, no more." Shao Zheng patiently let her pull, coming over to kiss her from time to time.
Chen Nongmo was amused by his words again. Just as he was about to retort, he noticed a piece of white showing through his partner's loosened collar.
She blinked and put her hand on his neck and touched it: "You are wearing a white shirt today?"
Shao Zheng laughed again, his voice was soft and sweet, "It's worth it that I unbuttoned the top button, and you finally found it."
Chen Nongmo blushed: "Why did you think of wearing this?"
"Well, maybe my fiancée likes it?"
Chen Nongmo was even more embarrassed. "Don't worry, I'll still wear a white shirt on the wedding day."
“Shut up!”
"Ha ha."
= At the engagement party.
In addition to the officers of the Second Regiment, the main forces of the First and Third Regiments were also called in.
Of course, the brigade commander and the brigade political commissar were also invited.
Including the military families who walked in, there were just three tables full.
The Chen family could only barely accommodate two tables, and the other table was set up at Fang Ping's home.
At the dinner table, Brigade Commander Chen was in high spirits because he had one less older bachelor under his command, and he kept shouting that he wanted to be a marriage seeker.
Even if it is just an engagement, the quotes and blessings read are the same as those for a wedding.
Everyone looked at Shao Zheng, who was very happy and cooperated with Brigade Chen, and laughed and shouted: "Old Shao, don't be anxious, the brigade commander said all the words about marriage."
"That's right, Lao Shao, are you planning to marry my sister-in-law twice?"
"Haha, I think he meant that too. Look at that smile. He never went downstairs. His face must be stiff from laughing!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.
Shao Zheng turned his head and snorted at the little girl next to him and said, "Don't pay attention to them, these guys are just envious of me."
Chen Nongmo held back his laughter and said nothing.
"What are you two whispering about?"
"Yes! Don't whisper. Tell everyone what you have to say."
"That is, are we discussing when to get married?"
This time Shao Zheng laughed and scolded back: "Why are you talking so much? Can I get married without a glass of wine from you?"
The crowd was not afraid of him. Seeing that he was shameless, he shouted at the woman, "Sister-in-law, tell me, when are you going to get married?"
Although he knew that these people had no ill intentions and were just trying to stir up trouble, Shao Zheng still didn't want to embarrass his fiancée.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard the girl next to him say crisply: "Judging from his performance, we have to wait until he is at least 30 years old."
Hearing this, everyone thought she was joking and burst into laughter again: "Good job, sister-in-law!"
"That's how he should be dealt with!"
“.”
Compared to the others who were enjoying the show, Shao Zheng's whole person lit up: "Are you serious? You're going to get married in three years?"
I thought I had to wait until the girl was 25, but I didn't expect her to agree at 22. It was such a pleasant surprise! Chen Nongmo suppressed his smile and raised his chin in a reserved manner: "I can't really ask you to have a child in your old age, right? That would make Big Brother laugh to death."
After getting a positive answer, Shao Zheng was so happy that he wanted to hug the person, kiss him, and spin around.
But there were too many people getting in the way, and finally he heard himself say solemnly in a very happy voice: "Then you must keep your word."
