Chapter 06 Chapter 6

Su Chang'e was still practicing calligraphy at home.

It has been a week since I sent my last letter, and I estimate that the reply will arrive soon.

She didn't know that her ten yuan was only used to buy the collective address of a certain communication squad of the army, and that it was just a random gift from her introducer. As for the prisoners in the labor farm, it was also randomly given to them by the introducer.

Su Chang'e was kept in the dark about this matter.

But Su Rui knew it.

I remember there was a plot in the book where Su Chang'e was cheated out of ten yuan. After she sent a letter, the money was lost. For this reason, Su Chang'e stayed at home and indulged in pleasure for a while.

Afterwards, he went to the introducer's house and threw a tantrum, and finally got the ten yuan back.

Su Rui didn't expect a reply, but she felt sorry for her photo.

After finishing her work, Su Rui went to the threshing ground for a meeting with other team leaders.

Guo Qingwang has been in a bad mood these days. He handed the documents issued by the township to Sister Zhao, responded with a few words, and left with the people of Qingnan Village.

Sister Zhao didn't mind. She flipped through the documents for a while, and when everyone was gathered, she said to everyone, "Everyone knows that there are troops coming to do construction, right? Starting tomorrow, the people of Qingnan Village will go to the barren mountains to open up wasteland, and the work of autumn harvest will fall on our Xiaoba Village."

The women of Xiaoba Village wish to stay as far away from the people of Qingnan Village as possible, but working with the troops is such an honorable job, why should the people of Qingnan Village steal the spotlight?

Sister Zhao knew what everyone was thinking and explained, "The collective land in Qingnan Village had almost been harvested a few days ago. The military leaders sympathized with our collective land and did not want outsiders to take it, so they chose them."

The faces of Su Rui, Chen Xianglan and other team leaders looked better now.

Later they found out that they were quarrying at the foot of Shitou Mountain. The work was dirty and tiring, with no extra work points to compensate them. They couldn't help but clap their hands, thinking that this was retribution for their laziness.

"Captain Guo has to go to Shitou Mountain these days and can't come here, so I will temporarily take charge of Xiaoba Village's daily work." Sister Zhao said: "We also need to mobilize the sisters. There is a shortage of manpower for the autumn harvest this year, so we must harvest the grain crops in time."

"Captain Fang, please wait a moment." Ou Hua, the guard of Commander Sun, was waiting downstairs in the office building, just as people were leaving get off work. "Commander Sun, please come over for dinner."

Fang Chiye's military jacket was draped over his forearms, and his shirt was tucked neatly into his belt, tightening his sturdy waist. He seemed to have guessed why Uncle Sun had asked him to go, and his beautiful eyes were calm and indifferent, exuding the perseverance and confidence that came from his battlefield experience.

Ou Hua smiled and said, "The chief is at home and he made dumplings for the guests."

This means that Master Sun took the lead as the introducer.

It is true.

Fang Chiye: "I have to deal with him."

"What?"

"I'll be right there."

Fang Chiye understood that Ou Hua was trying to curry favor with him, so he gave him a short and polite smile in return, then strode towards Teacher Sun's home with his long legs spread out.

Commander Sun was a comrade-in-arms with Commander Fang in the Wuhan-Guangzhou Military Region. They had participated in the counterattack together and had even thrown explosive packs together on the 38th parallel.

Fang Chiye grew up in a military family. Both his parents were military leaders, and he was raised by a guard. His concept of family was entirely shaped by his neighbor, the family of his teacher Sun.

Although he is indifferent to feelings, he has a very smart mind, which he hides quite well by being talkative.

He has no concept or vision of family. As for relationships, his parents’ long-term separation is an example to him, and he feels that having a family or not is not important to his life.

But he didn't think it was important, but his godfather and godmother, that is, Mr. Sun and his wife, did think it was important.

Fang Chiye first went back to the dormitory and got a bottle of Moutai liquor, hoping to use it to dispel his father's anger.

When we arrived at the small western-style building in the family compound, the door was open, and it seemed as if we were being invited into a trance.

...

"Mom, are we having sauerkraut dumplings again today? Let me help you." Fang Chiye walked through the living room to the kitchen with a glass of Maotai wine in his hand with ease. He saw a girl with two ponytails sitting on the sofa in the living room.

As of September 8, 1973, this was the seventeenth girl he had gone on a blind date with.

I'm sorry.

Fang Chiye seemed to have poor eyesight and didn't notice the girl who stood up with her head down waiting to say hello, and she disappeared into the kitchen.

Man Yiyi: “…”

Grandma was making dumplings. She looked up at his evil behavior and said angrily, "What are you doing here? Go talk to Yiyi. It's very rude to leave her out in the cold."

Fang Chiye put down his Maotai wine and said unhappily, "What are you doing out here? Just staring at each other, what are you doing sitting there waiting to be eaten?"

Grandma Sun said helplessly: "It was me who didn't let her come in to make dumplings. She is from the provincial art troupe. If you weren't so good, she wouldn't have come to meet her."

Fang Chiye took a peek outside the kitchen and saw that she was indeed in good shape, with long arms, long legs, and a long face.

Man Yiyi only saw the side of his face before Captain Fang disappeared.

When Teacher Sun came down from upstairs after finishing his phone call, he asked her, "Hey, didn't that kid come back? Where is he?"

Man Yiyi said sarcastically, "No one was seen, but a rat crawled in."

Teacher Sun shouted with full energy: "Chi Ye, come and pour me a cup of tea."

He wanted to pull the man out of the kitchen so that the female comrade could take a closer look. Look at how he was described just now, a perfectly good colonel was called a rat.

Fang Chiye came out with a hot water bottle, as if nothing had happened just now. He nodded to Man Yiyi calmly and said, "Hello, Comrade Man Yiyi. I was in a hurry to talk to my godmother, so I didn't say hello to you for a while. Please forgive me."

Man Yiyi was originally holding back her anger, revealing her mean nature. Now, when she saw the famous Captain Fang again, and he glanced at her, her heart was stirred. He was indeed a romantic figure, and she immediately regretted her words.

"No, I am the one who disturbed everyone by coming here."

Fang Chiye poured tea for Teacher Sun and also poured a cup for Man Yiyi and placed it in front of her.

Man Yiyi held the teacup in her hand, her cheeks smeared with rouge, two blushes under the light. She must be used to stage makeup, so it looked a little unnatural.

Fang Chiye inexplicably thought of the beautiful healthy and rosy face in the photo, still so natural.

Looking past the incident just now, Fang Chiye was tall and handsome, and his every move was in line with the unrestrained temperament of a young man from a wealthy family. After he said a few simple words, the woman's satisfaction with him was beyond words.

Teacher Sun was also satisfied.

She is the mainstay of the provincial art troupe. If she has the opportunity to be transferred to the central government in the future, she might become the wife of some leader.

The other party's father was a grassroots cadre who changed his career from a business to a civilian, and his mother was originally a primary school teacher. His family background was good, his relationship was simple, and his child was good-looking, which met the requirements of Fang's parents that he should find a military girl.

Plus, she learned dancing, which made her more feminine and charming than a soldier. She was a good choice for Fang Chiye, who was resisting dating a soldier.

Mr. Sun should have left the blind date chat with the young people. But he knew Fang Chiye's nature too well. He was extremely mean. He looked like a decent person, but in fact, he was a nobody.

Believe it or not, as soon as he got up from the sofa, within a minute, the girl he was dating would rush out of the house with a gloomy face?

This has happened not once or twice, I have done it countless times with both hands outstretched!

Man Yiyi didn't know what Teacher Sun was thinking, and thought that Teacher Sun didn't know how to behave, and delayed her pleasant communication with Head Fang. In fact, if Teacher Sun left, only Fang Chiye would be happy - she would only be left with Liang Kuai.

Headmaster Sun was standing guard in the living room, watching that bastard named Fang.

Grandma had already steamed the dumplings and asked them to wash their hands and eat.

Pickled cabbage dumplings are a Northeastern specialty. Sun Ganma is from Northeast China and is very good at pickling pickled cabbage. When Fang Chiye, who was born and raised in the Beijing compound, eats them, he thinks of the canteen in the Beijing compound.

But Sun Ganma’s food is better than the one in the compound cafeteria. Not only does she use soy sauce to flavor it, but she also adds pork cubes the size of dice, which makes it very chewy.

Fang Chiye occasionally spoke a few words to Man Yiyi during the meal. Sun Ganma had acted as an introducer too many times before Sun Taizhang, so after listening to a few words, she realized that Fang Chiye was just being perfunctory.

After finishing the meal and putting down the chopsticks, Comrade Man Yiyi stood up and went to the living room to eat fruit, and called Fang Chiye to come over and talk: "Don't worry about those things, come here and I will ask you something."

"Wait a moment." Fang Chiye responded, stayed to help Godmother Sun clean the table, took the dishes to the kitchen to wash for Teacher Sun, and then slowly went over.

Sun's mother couldn't help but say to the instructor: "The girl your old comrade introduced to me has poor judgment. I won't let her do any real work. Why don't you just pretend?"

Teacher Sun said, "There's nothing to put in these two bowls."

Grandson's mother shook her head, thinking that this time the party was organized in vain.

Fang Chiye sat in the living room for a few minutes, then rushed to the kitchen as if he was burning with anger and pretended to peel an apple.

Teacher Sun winked at Sun's godmother, who went over and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

Fang Chiye said in confusion: "What's going on?"

Teacher Sun said angrily: "Blind date!"

If you don't mention it, he won't know. If you mention it, he will be shocked.

"Blind date?" Fang Chiye said in astonishment: "How can this be considered a blind date?"

Teacher Sun was about to get angry, but then he remembered that he had just drunk two cups of Maotai in Kaifeng, so he suppressed his temper and said, "How can this not be considered a blind date?"

Fang Chiye said, "Of course not. Didn't you say that the daughter of your old comrade-in-arms came to visit? I'll just treat her as a friend."

Commander Sun gritted his teeth and said, "Don't pretend to me. You're saving this trick to deceive the enemy."

"I can't afford such a rich man."

"Can you say that again?"

Fang Chiye knew that one of them had to convince the other today.

Helplessly, seeing his godfather about to spit fire, he leisurely took out a photo from his pocket and said, "I didn't want to confess so early--"

Teacher Sun said angrily, "You are already 28, and you still think it's too early?! After the Chinese New Year, you will be 30, and if you play around for a few more years, you will be 40!"

Fang Chiye: “…”

Sun's mother pointed in the direction of the living room and asked Teacher Sun to keep his voice down. Then she took out the photo and glanced at it: "Oh, what a pretty and well-behaved child. Who is she? When did you meet her?"

Fang Chiye said shamelessly: "We just met and are in the process of getting to know each other." This is also the truth.

He glanced outside the kitchen door, lowered his lip and pretended that no one was eavesdropping.

Grandma's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at the photo carefully again. Su Rui in the photo had a bright and beautiful temperament that made people like her naturally, with a healthy and natural blush on her face and two small canine teeth showing brilliantly, which made people like her at first sight.

"Hey, we can't have two relationships at the same time." As soon as grandma's voice fell, Man Yiyi, who was eavesdropping outside, shouted, "What? You actually have a partner?!"

Fang Chiye: ...That’s not what I said.

Fang Chiye said innocently: "Girl, don't get excited. I didn't know you were here for a blind date today."

Teacher Sun stopped venting his anger, but Man Yiyi wanted to vent her anger. She turned her head to look at Teacher Sun and said disrespectfully, "Uncle Sun, he has a date and he asked me to come here for a blind date. What do you think I am?"

Fang Chiye was happy and relaxed, adding fuel to the fire, "Yeah, what's going on?"

As he said this, he took a step back cautiously, waved his hands below, and beckoned him to come on.

Whoever caused this mess should clean it up.

Half an hour later, Fang Chiye was kicked out of the house by Teacher Sun.

I didn't forget to pick up my mother's sauerkraut dumplings for tomorrow's breakfast.

He patted his pockets, strolled to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought an envelope and stamps, thought for a while, and bought a piece of blank paper.

The letter needs to be returned.

Photos are not given.

Whether it is a human or a ghost, let’s pull it out for a walk.
