Chapter 16 Chapter 16

There were still three days before the military parade, and Su Rui watched Su Chang'e dressing up beautifully at home.

Su Chang'e learned that her future partner was going to do construction work nearby, and she thought that maybe she could meet him at the military party. Even if she couldn't, it would be a good idea to ask around and get some information about his character.

Su Rui was unwilling to meet the male protagonist Fang Chiye and tacitly agreed not to attend the military parade this time. She continued to sew quilts at home.

Upon learning that she was not going, Su Chang'e breathed a sigh of relief and dressed up at home with peace of mind.

Su Hongpei was carrying the manure bucket to the back ditch, when Wang Luxing, who was hiding not far away, suddenly ran out. He was short and dark, with a bruised face and nose, which scared Su Hongpei.

Su Rui didn't see Su Hongpei come back for a while, so she went to the back of the house to look for her, and happened to see Wang Luxing and Su Hongpei arguing with each other.

Su Rui turned around, grabbed the sugar cane, rushed over, raised her arm and hit Wang Luxing on the shoulder: "Did you bully people in the previous house? You are tired of living!"

After Su Rui hit her for more than ten times, Wang Luxing finally let go of her hand, hugged her shoulders, hid aside, pointed at Su Rui and said, "Don't think I don't know what you did! Just talk to your elder sister, what right do you have to hit me?"

Su Rui pulled Su Hongpei, whose eyes were red, behind her and scolded her, "I didn't hit you at first because I thought you were still a human being. Now I see clearly that you are a beast and I can't kill you. Be careful when you walk at night in the future. I will punish you every time I see you!"

Wang Luxing wanted to reconcile with Su Hongpei, but Su Hongpei always listened to him, but she was rejected. I think it was because of this good sister who was fanning the flames.

He wanted to fight Su Rui, but was surprised to find that he was no match for her. He was hit several times in vain, and blurted out in pain: "If Su Hongpei doesn't like me, I will tell everyone that Su Hongpei slept with me! I think -"

Su Hongpei carried the manure bucket and poured it over from head to toe. The foul smell made Wang Luxing stand there in a daze: "Pooh, pooh, pooh, you, you——"

Su Hongpei said with a red face: "You said I slept with you, so I dare to say that you are useless! I wonder who dares to marry you!"

Beautiful counterattack!

What is a man afraid of? The most fearful thing is that others say he is useless.

Su Rui applauded her elder sister crazily!

"Who is useless? Who do you say is useless?" Wang Luxing did not expect that the tongue-tied Su Hongpei could say such words. He was so angry that he was shaking all over.

"Hurry up and don't come here again." Su Hongpei took Su Rui's hand and went back to the house with her, never giving Wang Luxing another glance.

After returning to the house and putting down the sewage bucket, Su Hongpei ran into Su Yuqin who had just returned from the house, and she immediately became depressed again.

"Where are you going now? Stop." Su Yuqin held the floral cotton cloth that she had managed to snatch back with great effort, gestured at Su Hongpei and said, "Don't be so sad. You're not a widow."

Su Hongpei said, "Mom, I really don't want to go."

Su Yuqin's eyes widened as she said, "Don't be ungrateful. All the women out there are crazy, vying to go! This is the only chance to turn things around in your life, so you must seize it if you find a good man. Sister Zhao said that only two people from each family can go, otherwise the school won't be able to accommodate them. Since the third child won't go, you and the second child must go."

Su Hongpei looked towards Su Rui. Su Rui wanted her to meet Chen Haiyan, so she kept her mouth shut and didn't say anything for her.

Su Chang'e got a box of Shanghai brand Pearl Rouge Powder and shouted in the house, "Third brother, come over and help me see if it's applied evenly."

Su Rui raised her eyebrows. Wow, you are so brave.

She stepped into the room and was about to squeeze in when she found a letter in front of Su Chang'e.

Su Rui took it in her hand and saw that it was sent by her eldest brother.

Su Chang'e looked up and asked, "How's it going?"

Su Rui forced a hypocritical smile and said, "It looks good. If you apply it thicker, you'll look even better." The monkey's butt looks so energetic!

Su Chang'e was satisfied and waved her hand. Su Rui left with her brother's letter.

Damn it, didn’t they say that she had to receive the letter in person? How did Su Chang’e get it?

Su Rui carefully checked and found that the envelope was intact, so she sat down and tore open the envelope.

This time, my brother was a little slow in replying. I wonder if it was because the management of the labor reform farm strictly prohibited mailing. Su Rui was happy at first.

She received another letter today and opened it with trepidation.

The handwriting on the reply was quite neat, but it was also obvious that it was written in a hurry.

'The west wind blows down the leaves, and the osmanthus fragrance wafts.'

'Many misunderstandings between people are caused by distance...'

What do you mean? Don't want distance anymore?

Su Rui's hands were shaking. It was over. She was going to be released after serving her sentence.

"I have not read a single word of your letter. Considering the impression he gave you, you should ask him to apologize to you."

Su Rui closed her eyes. Did the elder brother want to help her fight with Fang Chiye?

"Comrade Su, in my world there is no woman like you who is so carefree, radiant, and speaks freely."

Big brother, why don’t you take a closer look at your brothers on the shop floor?

'I will arrive in Suhua Township at the beginning of this month. I can't express my feelings in a letter. I hope we can meet by chance and let bygones be bygones.'

Still letting bygones be bygones?

Your crime will be recorded in your file for the rest of your life, and your descendants for three generations will not be able to take the civil service exam!

Su Rui successfully understood the content of the letter with her own thinking and did not notice anyone coming.

"Hey, is he going to date you?" Su Chang'e stretched her neck, her cheeks flushed like an opera singer, and she shouted excitedly, "Mom, mom! Su Rui is going to date someone!"

Before Su Rui could reach out to strangle her, Su Chang'e turned around and ran away.

"Don't talk nonsense, he just wants to meet."

Su Chang'e turned her head and said, "Bullshit, who knows what else you said in the letter? Look how eager he is to see you. If we meet, he will definitely hug you and kiss you!"

Su Rui was extremely embarrassed and angry: "Why would I want to be with him? I would rather kiss a dog than him!"

Su Chang'e sneered and said, "He wants to help you and praises you for your beauty and good character. Doesn't this mean that he thinks you are his to take? I advise you not to reject him. Be careful that he escapes from the labor camp and looks for you."

Su Rui said angrily: "You really do know something!"

Su Chang'e said, "Who told you not to ask around? You just keep your head down and build the road. Look at the people carrying stones at the foot of the northern mountain. They are all wearing labor reform prisoners' clothes. They must be undergoing reform inside. Where else could they be?"

In recent years, various places have sent a small number of prisoners to participate in manual labor and carry out labor reform, so that they can learn skills and integrate into society. Three groups of prisoners have come to Suhua Township. The locals have become accustomed to it. Su Rui also helped to cook two big pots of rice.

Su Rui sat down on the chair, and after thinking it over, she actually felt that what Su Chang'e said was right.

Seeing that Su Rui had lost her temper, Su Chang'e came over leisurely and said, "I advise you to leave him alone first and delay it. Maybe you will save enough money to marry a husband before he comes to you. If he dares to come by then, he will destroy your marriage relationship and be a hooligan. It won't be too late to arrest him."

Su Hongpei came out of the main room, glanced at Su Chang'e, walked back into the house, took Su Rui's hand and said, "I think he is sincere. I think you should give him a chance. Just like you advised me, just think of it as giving yourself another chance."

Give yourself another chance to die? My dear sister.

Su Rui is going crazy.

When will the bad love affair end?

Su Hongpei held her hand tightly, thought for a moment and said, "Write him a letter now and tell him that you are willing to be with him. Tell him not to be impatient and to get to know him slowly."

Under the coercion of Su Hongpei, Su Rui hastily wrote down a few lines of words, which was regarded as a sign of her accepting this object.

***

The day of the military parade arrived.

After lunch, Su Chang'e and Su Hongpei went to Qingfeng Middle School together.

Su Rui came to Wan Zi's house. She would be on patrol with Wan Zi in the afternoon.

Although Maru is small, he is still a person after all, and he is still a good patrol partner.

To attend the military parade, you have to pass through Xiaoba Village. The scene of people coming and going is more lively than during the Chinese New Year, and the air is filled with pink bubbles.

Su Rui knew that there were too many people and she was more careful about unfamiliar faces. She sent Grandma Xi and four or five other old ladies with bound feet to sit at the entrance of the village to monitor. Sister Zhao also sent two teams to patrol the mountains to protect the peach trees.

Su Chang'e and Su Hongpei squeezed into Qingfeng Middle School amidst the huge crowd.

Qingfeng Middle School was requisitioned by the army, and the walls were repainted with slogans such as "The mighty army cannot be violated" and "Dedicate your life to the revolution." The atmosphere was solemn and dignified.

The movie "Heroes of Shangganling" was playing on the north wall, and some people had already rushed to the front row to watch it. Occasionally, two groups of soldiers walked neatly across the playground.

A temporary stage was set up in the middle of the playground, where a military band was tuning their instruments, producing beautiful string music.

Su Chang'e didn't have Su Rui's skills, so she couldn't climb up the tree to see far away. She squeezed in the crowd, tiptoed and looked around, but didn't see any troop leaders appear.

A few days ago, she met Captain Fang in the security office. Later, she heard that he was the head of the construction corps, and he was still single! He was so young and so handsome, and she missed such a great opportunity right in front of her.

Today she came prepared, with red lips and curly eyebrows. Her shirt was fitted at the back to show off her slender curves.

Unfortunately, she spent most of the time at the military party and didn't see him. Instead, it was the officer holding the sugarcane that day who went on stage to speak.

Su Chang'e could not hide her disappointment, and then her eyes fell on other officers, and she followed the others in chasing after them.

Behind her, in the office of the Joint Defense Office, Fang Chiye spread out five pages of thick letter paper and read word by word. Occasionally, a chilly smile appeared at the corner of his lips. His beautiful eyes narrowed, making it impossible to read his emotions.

He read the letter over and over again. It was five pages long. It turned out that in her eyes, he was a snarling figure.

Fang Chiye originally thought that their blind date would come to an end because of this, but a letter he received before coming here made Fang Chiye's eyes slightly widen.

'Hello, Mr. Ye. I am so happy...'

Leaf object?

Is this a default target? What on earth is she thinking?

After Qin Shan finished speaking outside, he was surrounded by the common people. They asked him all kinds of questions, and even wanted to tell him his birth date. Most of them asked him about Fang Chiye's situation. He finally returned to the office, but saw Fang Chiye looking out the window quietly, searching for something.

Qin Shan: "She's not here."
