Chapter 14 Chapter 14 He is only twenty-three
He is only twenty-three, and he can't find a brother-in-law who is older than him.
Ye Jianguo also frowned and said, "It's not small anymore."
His daughter is only eighteen years old and has just graduated from high school. The age difference between them is nine years.
Xu Huiling also became worried and asked Ye Tan: "Why is he still single at the age of 27? Has he ever been in a relationship before?" There must be something wrong.
Ye Tan was stunned. She really didn't know if he had ever been in a relationship before. She just saw his innocent look between men and women and subconsciously thought that he hadn't. But it was hard to say for sure about such things, but...
"It's okay even if we've been together before, right? Haven't I been together before?"
She didn't think it was a big problem.
Xu Huiling's expression straightened as she said, "How can they be the same? We were deceived by Li Congjun. Your only mistake was misjudging him. But it's not always the same for others. If they've been together before, we need to find out why it didn't work out. I'm afraid there's something wrong with the man."
In the end, Ye Jianguo was more reliable and asked the key question: "Where is he from?" After finding out the answer, he would go and inquire about his character tomorrow.
Ye Tan immediately said, "His family lives on the other side of the river, at the sugar factory. I heard his mother work in the logistics department of the sugar factory."
Xu Huiling lowered her head and thought for a moment. She knew a few sugar factory workers. "What's their name?"
Ye Tan shook his head: "I don't know either."
She didn't want to ask directly for someone else's mother's name. "But I know his name is Gu Zhao. He's a naval officer. He said he's a regimental-level cadre."
Ye Yanlin was very surprised. His younger sister had not mentioned the man's occupation just now. Now that he heard that he was a soldier and an officer of a high rank, his dislike for the man's age faded a lot.
Being a soldier means having many tasks and heavy workload, and you only come back once a year. It’s possible that your marriage will be delayed.
With fewer opinions in his mind, Ye Yanlin also remembered to ask other questions: "How did you two know each other?"
It's not that he looks down on his own family, but it's difficult for an ordinary working-class family like theirs to get in touch with people with good conditions like soldiers or officers of high rank if they don't have connections.
He lived across the river, his surname was Gu, and he was a soldier. Ye Yanlin summarized it and suddenly thought of a man deep in his memory.
After all, he is a familiar figure in the area around the river, and most people know each other.
Ye Tan brought up the incident of being hit by someone last time: "The last time I was injured, he hit me. He took me to the hospital and sent me home that day, but you were not here so you didn't see it."
The whole family looked at Ye Tan and said "Oh", looking at her in the same way. Ye Tan could only continue: "And the day before yesterday, didn't I go to buy yellow croaker? I ran into him on the way back."
Xu Huiling didn't think much about it at first, but when she saw her daughter's smiling face, she immediately understood: "Did he come to see you specially?" Otherwise, why would he run over here from across the river?
Ye Tan smiled at her and nodded slightly.
As someone who has experienced this, Xu Huiling did not continue to ask about their relationship at that time. Now that things have developed to the point where they have told their parents, there is no need to ask what happened that day. It is obvious.
Ye Jianguo also thought of someone and nodded, "Gu Zhao, his father is Gu Mingzhi, right?" Ye Tan didn't know: "He said his father passed away early, and now it's just him and his mother at home."
When Ye Jianguo mentioned Gu Mingzhi, Xu Huiling naturally thought of who he was.
"Gu Zhao's father was a revolutionary martyr. I heard he died on the battlefield saving his superiors. He was an admirable man. I didn't expect his son to be so outstanding, rising to the rank of regimental commander before he was 30."
Ye Jianguo recalled the past: "Gu Zhao was only a few years old at that time. His mother raised him alone and raised him into an outstanding soldier. It was not easy. She is also a female comrade worthy of admiration."
Ye Tan didn't know the inside story, so he looked around at his parents, who were both filled with emotion, and asked after a while, "So what do you think about this matter? Do you need to investigate his character and family background?"
She asked that question, but seeing the admiration on other people's parents' faces when her parents mentioned it, she always felt that this investigation was not very necessary.
Ye Jianguo's expression straightened, and the sad memories he had before disappeared in an instant: "Of course we have to investigate carefully. Although her parents are good, she doesn't spend much time at home, and we don't know much about her. We still have to take a closer look."
What they heard was just one-sided account, they had to investigate it themselves.
Ye Jianguo thought for a moment and said to his daughter, "Well, let's ask around here first. If it's suitable, you can ask him to go to the river after get off work one afternoon and we'll take a look."
It was because of the previous experience of Li Congjun that made them wary. Even if they were anxious about going to the countryside, they couldn't panic and had to find out more about the person's character.
The two met in the park the next day, and Ye Tan told him about his family's considerations.
When Gu Zhao learned that Ye Tan's parents did not directly object, he was relieved at first, but when he heard that they would have to inspect him in person, he became angry again.
He turned around twice, thinking that he had no bad habits in all his years in the army. He had changed his bad habit of fighting after joining the army. He would only fight in the training grounds, where there were always people lining up for him to eat and train with. He never drank unless necessary and only smoked occasionally.
He smelled his cuffs and there was no smell of cigarettes.
Because he heard that most lesbians don't like the smell of cigarettes, he basically smokes one cigarette every night these days and takes a shower immediately after smoking, so there is no smell of cigarettes on his body.
After carefully examining himself, Gu Zhao became much more confident. When he turned around, he saw Ye Tan covering her mouth and laughing at him.
Gu Zhao was startled, then realized that his behavior was probably quite stupid, so he helplessly spread his hands and said, "Excuse me, I'm a little nervous."
After Ye Tan had laughed enough, she asked him, "Have you never been in a relationship before?"
Gu Zhao shook his head: "No." Then he looked at her seriously and reiterated: "You are the first."
Not really.
"Do you mind if I've been in a relationship before?"
Gu Zhao glanced at her and wasn't surprised that Ye Tan had a boyfriend before, but he didn't immediately reply that he didn't mind. Instead, he asked her, "Have you ever held hands?"
Ye Tan: "Hold it."
Gu Zhao's voice was sour: "Has he... kissed you? Do you still like him now?" When asking this question, Gu Zhao's expression was solemn, his cold brows were furrowed and he looked a little fierce, but in fact, there was a sour feeling in his heart.
Ye Tan was slightly stunned. She didn't expect him to ask so boldly and directly, but she didn't get angry. She shook her head and said, "We haven't kissed. I don't like it. We just held hands. But we were engaged. Later, I found out that he was not a good person, so I called it off."
Ye Tan was very glad that he traveled through time before Li Congjun tricked the original owner into becoming crippled, otherwise it would have been truly disgusting.
Gu Zhao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Ye Tan's affirmative answer. He smiled at Ye Tan with a relaxed expression: "I don't mind, not at all."
We just held hands, not even kissed, but he didn't mind at all.
It’s normal for such a good girl like Ye Tan to have a partner, and it’s nothing even if she’s engaged.
He is still urging her to get married even after they are already engaged, which shows how bad the other party is. It goes without saying that this man is inferior to him, and she is giving him face just because she is jealous.
Ye Tan raised an eyebrow, not quite believing what he said: "You really don't mind?"
The author has something to say:
----------------------
I have already collected 100,000 words of manuscript for the next book.
Favorite collection:-D "Beautiful Cannon Fodder in the Era"
Lu Yan traveled into the novel she had read and became a cannon fodder from the same village as the heroine.
She was beaten and bullied by her parents and siblings since she was a child, but because of her beautiful appearance, she was deceived by educated youth and eventually became pregnant out of wedlock and was forced to death.
When Lu Yan came through, she was being coaxed into being in a relationship with someone, and was saved by a passing sinking pool at the critical moment.
Chen Chi was upright, tall, and had a face that Lu Yan particularly liked, but she didn't want to rely on him for saving her life.
But Chen Chi thought about it.
*
Chen Chi was visiting relatives during the holidays and saved a girl who was about to be bullied because the train was delayed.
The little girl was timid, afraid of the dark and had a delicate temper. At first, Chen Chi just wanted to get rid of this ancestor as soon as possible.
In the end, he hugged and held the person and saw her naked.
Chen Chi's ears flushed red: "I will be responsible for you."
Lu Yan refused, sorry, she still felt like a child.
This forced Chen Chi to utter a harsh word: "I will repay you for saving my life with my own body."
Lu Yan: “…”
Shame on you!
