Of course, Shuying has different ideas from the other party.
How can you possibly be committed to someone for the rest of your life?
Her idea was that if they got along well, they could continue, but if their personalities were incompatible, they definitely couldn't continue.
The other party's attitude was too serious and earnest. She remembered what Zheng Lan had just complained about. Although it was not her who did it but the original owner, she was Yang Shuying now, and she always felt a little guilty in her heart.
Shuying coughed a few times and asked tentatively, "What if we get along and you decide that I'm not suitable for you?"
After a slight pause, Shuying continued, "I do not have a very good reputation in the village. What Zheng Lan said just now is not entirely false. I did like a male educated youth before!"
Shuying felt more and more guilty as she spoke, but after careful consideration she decided to confess the matter.
The most important things in dealing with a partner are trust and honesty.
This is known to everyone in their village, and the other party will know it sooner or later.
Rather than letting her partner find out from other people, she might as well just come clean.
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Xi stopped pedaling. Her face hit the man's hard back out of inertia, and she met his cold and stern eyes: "Do you still like that male educated youth now?"
"I don't like you anymore. If I did, how could I be with you?" said Shuying.
The man's cold and gloomy brows were mostly swept away, and he seemed to be relieved. He pursed his thin lips and said, "Comrade Yang, I only regret that we didn't know each other early enough. I also answer your question just now. I either don't date anyone, or I date someone for life. In this life, I recognize that you are my daughter-in-law! There is no such thing as suitability. I will work hard to assume the responsibilities of a partner and a husband, and I will never let you regret it!"
The man made the promise in a serious and solemn manner, but Shuying was caught off guard and her cheeks turned slightly red.
I also heard him say, "I sent a telegram to my parents that day to inform them that we are dating." As for the marriage report, he had already applied in advance.
Taking into account the opinions of "Duo Chuchu" that Liu Neng told him, he did not bring up the matter immediately and planned to bring it up after the two of them had been together for a month.
Yang Shuying looked confused and dumbfounded: "..."
After a long time, Yang Shuying finally realized that she had already gotten the green light from the boy's parents just one day after they started dating?
So fast?
Shuying's eyes widened and she felt a little panicked. The speed of her opponent was too fast.
Even if you are dating now, would you tell your family so soon?
But then I think about it, I have also told her parents about my relationship, which shows that both of us are very serious and responsible about this relationship.
It's better for her to be responsible than not to be responsible!
You have to know that when the original heroine married the original hero, how could the original hero Jiang Jingyan dare to tell his parents that he had found a country girl?
It was only after the reform and opening up of the college entrance examination that there was no other choice, so he informed his parents in the city and took the original owner back to his home in the city.
This comparison immediately reveals the difference?
Shuying's favorable impression of the person in front of him increased significantly.
"Unhappy?" Chen Xi asked.
"No, it's fine!"
Shuying wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town to exchange eggs, so Chen Xi sent her to the town first.
An hour later, Shuying arrived at the town supply and marketing cooperative.
The supply and marketing cooperative in the town was more like the grocery store she had seen before, much smaller and more dilapidated than the one in the county town.
Shuying asked her partner to wait outside while she went in to change the eggs.
She went to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange eggs, and an old lady did it for her.
An egg costs a penny.
Her family worked hard to save dozens of eggs over several months, but only got less than fifty cents?
Shuying was a little dumbfounded.
Isn't this too cheap?
Shuying regretted the change. No wonder her mother always complained that her stitches were too big.
Country people have no source of income, and can only earn a little money from eggs. It is difficult to make money. No wonder her mother would rather spend every penny.
It seems that she still needs to find a job and earn money as soon as possible.
At the same time, Shuying thought that maybe he could sell the eggs at home in the mall, which would be more cost-effective.
Come out after changing the eggs.
An hour and a half later, the two went to the state-owned hotel for lunch.
Chen Xi asked her to order the food, as he was not picky about food.
Shuying ordered a vegetable and let her partner order the rest of the dishes.
The other party ordered one and two meat dishes, one of which was the braised fish that she almost finished by herself last time, and a lot of steamed buns.
Ordered three dishes and that was about it.
This will prevent waste. Everyone orders as much as they can eat, and waste of food is strictly prohibited.
While eating, Shuying found that her partner was still picking food for her most of the time. He was afraid that she was not eating enough, so he kept putting meat and vegetables into her bowl.
After eating a lot of meat these days, she wanted to eat vegetables more. She quickly blocked the bowl and let him eat by himself, and said that she wanted to eat vegetables more today.
Chen Xi: “…”
"There's enough meat and vegetables, no need to skimp!"
"I'm not trying to save money, I just really want to eat vegetables today!" Shuying said with a smile. It's true. Nowadays, people eat meat very rarely. Vegetables can't compare to meat. Fatty meat is simply too popular here.
Chen Xi really didn't believe it at first. How could anyone like vegetables more than meat? But after seeing his partner eating them with gusto, he was sure that his partner seemed to really like vegetables.
However, despite this, seeing that his girlfriend always ate vegetables, he would not forget to add some meat dishes for her from time to time.
This time she came to the county town, in addition to having a date with her boyfriend, she also had a mission.
When they had almost finished eating, she found an excuse to leave the table temporarily.
Shuying went to pay the bill first, and then when an old lady was clearing the dishes in a corner, Shuying pushed a grain ticket worth several taels into her hands and said, "Auntie, can I ask if this state-owned hotel is still hiring?"
When the old lady saw that the little girl in front of her stuffed a few taels of grain coupons into her pocket, her eyes widened.
My aunt has a large family. She has several sons and they have not yet separated the family. They all live together. Although there are two workers, she and her husband, the family still lives a very frugal life.
The food coupons that the little girl stuffed into her pocket were a great thing. The old lady looked around and found that no one saw it, so she quickly put it in her pocket.
Originally, she had no intention of revealing the information. After all, apart from some large factories in the county, which would have recruitment notices and assessments, most units would not announce their recruitment to the outside world and would keep it to themselves.
But it is not her family's turn to digest the internal affairs.
The aunt simply told Shuying secretly that the state-owned hotel was not hiring recently, but there was a dishwasher in the store who wanted to sell her job, so she asked her if she had this intention!
When Shuying heard about washing dishes, her scalp went numb. In her world, she liked to cook delicious food, but she didn't like washing dishes.
She could bear it if she washed it occasionally, but if she washed it every day, forget it!
But after hearing the old lady say that it would cost several hundred yuan to change to a dishwasher job, she completely gave up the idea.
The old lady saw that she seemed dissatisfied with her job as a dishwasher. Well, the little girl in front of her was delicate and pretty, more like a city girl.
She just saw that the girl's partner was actually a military officer.
The old lady thought for a moment and said, "There seems to be a textile factory in the county that is hiring. Why don't you give it a try?"
Then the old lady said that the textile factory was recruiting but they had to take an exam and had academic requirements, and the number of people admitted was small, so the competition was quite fierce.
Shuying had no plans to work in the textile factory. Not only would the working hours be too long every day, but her parents would definitely not feel comfortable with her staying alone in the county town.
Besides, staying in there for a long time is not good for your health.
Shuying felt a little regretful, but said, "Auntie, the competition in the textile factory is too fierce, so I won't go. If anyone wants to sell their job at the state-owned hotel, please give me a heads up. Don't worry, I will definitely thank you when it's done!"
The old lady thought about how the little girl had just slipped her food coupons, and she also heard that as long as she mentioned it, she would be thanked after the task was completed. With such a good thing, how could the old lady not be happy?
She hurriedly said, "Don't worry, don't worry. Next time someone wants to sell a job, I will definitely tell you. But where can I notify you then?"
Shuying said that she would come to the county town from time to time in the past few weeks and stop by here.
"That's fine!"
After getting close to the old lady, Shuying returned to the table and her partner had almost finished eating.
The man had a big appetite and he basically finished all the leftovers.
Chen Xi stood up to pay the bill.
Shuying said, "I just paid the bill!" Last time, her boyfriend not only bought her a watch but also treated her to lunch and packed a lot of food for his family and his second brother's family.
How could she afford to spend the other person's money again?
Obviously, Chen Xi was not happy that his partner was too clear with him. On the contrary, being too clear made him seem distant.
After the two of them left the Guoying Hotel, the man suddenly asked, "Do you want to find a job?"
Shuying didn't expect that the man had such sharp eyes. How could he know this?
Shuying could only admit it and made up an excuse: "I realized how hard life is at home when I exchanged eggs today. I don't want to help share some of the pressure at home!"
Then I heard the other party suddenly say: "I have money. Next time I will bring my passbook to you first! You can use it as you like!"
The man spoke in a serious tone, but Shuying was stunned by his words.
They had only been dating for a few days, and her boyfriend dared to give her his bankbook? He dared to give it, but she didn't dare to accept it?
It seems like this man doesn't mind using his money to support his mother's family?
In fact, for Chen Xi, his partner will be his wife sooner or later, and handing in the passbook is a matter of sooner or later, there is no difference.
He still had great confidence in his own judgment. He had a high salary, and he could afford to support her partner's family.
He could afford it, but Shuying couldn't.
Why did she suddenly realize that if her partner was not someone with a conscience, but someone else who was greedy for her money, she would probably suffer a big loss.
Shuying mentioned it casually.
The man said seriously, "My target cannot be anyone else!"
He was certainly not stupid, for it was precisely because of her that he was willing to hand over the passbook before marriage. At the same time, he also hoped that his partner, Zhao, would keep the passbook for him, which would make him feel more at ease, indicating that his partner wanted to get married with him.
Shuying had no idea what the man next to him was planning.
After the two of them left the state-owned hotel, she didn't know what to do, so she could only walk around.
Shuying tried to avoid the street with the supply and marketing cooperative as much as possible because she was really afraid that her partner would spend too much money on her or her family.
After they walked for a while, Chen Xi asked her if she wanted to watch a movie.
Shuying's eyes widened: "We still have movies to watch in broad daylight?"
There is only one movie theater in the county town, which is open occasionally during the day and mostly in the evening.
Shuying was quite curious about the movies of this era, so the two of them walked to the cinema, and Chen Xi had already calculated the date.
really!
The cinema is open today during the day.
Before entering the cinema, Shuying waited at the door for a while. Not long after, her boyfriend actually bought a bag of melon seeds.
Where did she buy the melon seeds in such a short time?
After asking around, Shuying found out that when the cinema was open, there were still people secretly selling melon seeds at this corner.
People who often watch the movie know that he learned this from Liu Neng.
After entering the cinema, the two sat in the back row. The cinemas today are certainly not as good as those in her world, and the movies are also in black and white.
After looking at the tree shadow for a while, I thought it was pretty good.
The emotions played out by the male and female protagonists in the movie are so genuine and touching.
This is a film that tells the greatest story of the working class. Most films nowadays are like this, either telling the story of the working class or model workers, and the ideological themes are all very positive.
Shuying remembered the many newspapers she had picked up at the scrapyard. After returning home, she read through them and found that the content on the newspapers was not much different from the theme of the movie.
She wanted to earn some money from her writings, but then she realized that things would soon get chaotic outside.
This year is 1966. Although this world is not the same as the world of her previous life, the background is not much different from that of her previous life in the 1960s.
The only thing Shuying was thankful for was that her family all lived in the countryside, the atmosphere in Hongyang Society was good, and the village chief was trustworthy. As for the fact that her target was a soldier, it should not have much impact.
She wanted to give her partner a few reminders, but they had just started dating and it was not time for them to have a deep heart-to-heart talk.
If she accidentally revealed too much and her partner thought she was a spy, she would cry herself to death in the toilet.
When Shuying was distracted, Chen Xi had already peeled a lot of melon seeds and put them in his palm, asking her to stretch out her hand.
Under the shadow of the tree, she subconsciously reached out her hand, and Chen Xi poured a pile of melon seeds into her palm, letting her eat them slowly while watching the movie.
When Shuying saw the pile of peeled melon seeds in her palm, she, who was always calm and rational, couldn't help but be moved.
How could her partner be so capable and considerate?
Chen Xi didn't notice that his partner was moved. He continued to peel melon seeds with his head down, and occasionally his sharp eyes would fall on the screen in front of him.
Shuying ate a few, and seeing that the man next to her was only focused on peeling the apples without eating any, she simply picked up a few and fed them to him.
Chen Xi was caught off guard.
You have to know that people are very conservative nowadays.
If you are too intimate in public, you will be arrested.
I can't even hold hands.
Not to mention something as intimate as feeding.
Chen Xi obviously didn't expect that his partner would feed him food, which gave him a huge shock.
When his lips touched the woman's soft fingertips, Chen Xi froze subconsciously. His stern face remained serious, but his ears turned slightly red.
Fortunately, it was dark in the movie theater and no one noticed.
"Is it delicious?" asked Shuying.
"Um!"
She tasted the melon seeds just now and they tasted pretty good. Seeing that the man next to her liked them, she simply ate a few herself and fed a few to her partner.
Anyway, it was so dark in the movie theater and no one would catch them, so Shuying felt particularly at ease.
Compared to Shuying's calmness, Chen Xi was still a little nervous about feeding her object, and her face was still a little stiff.
His eyes couldn't help but fall on the woman next to him. With the light from the movie screen, he could clearly see the fair and delicate face of his target.
At this time, her attention was on the movie, but she still fed him the most. She ate a few herself and fed him a few more.
The corners of Chen Xi's mouth curled up slightly.
After a while, he got used to it a little bit. When his partner came to him to feed him, he would stretch out his head to eat without having to feed him in the mouth.
Seeing that the melon seeds in her object's palm were almost gone, Chen Xi increased his speed in peeling the seeds and poured all the remaining seeds into his object's palm.
Yang Shuying: “…” She was actually planning to finish the melon seeds in her palm and then give up.
After all, dating in this era is very conservative, and she just realized that feeding seems to be a very intimate thing.
However, her partner had peeled the melon seeds and poured them to her, so she could only continue to eat them herself while feeding him.
In this movie, except for the beginning, Chen Xi's attention is almost entirely on his object.
After eating too many melon seeds, Shuying felt a little thirsty at the end of the movie, so Chen Xi handed Jun the water bottle to her.
Shuying took the water bottle and drank the water.
Since they are a couple this time, she doesn't need to avoid suspicion.
She took a few sips and passed it to the man next to her. He had just eaten a lot of melon seeds and must be thirsty.
Chen Xi subconsciously wanted to refuse, not because he wanted to refuse, but because he just saw his partner drinking from the water bottle with his mouth to mouth, so he would definitely drink from the water bottle with his mouth to mouth, and he was afraid of offending the other person.
"Don't you want to drink?" Shuying was a little confused when he saw the man take the kettle. His Adam's apple rolled, and he took a few big sips of water from the kettle. His ears became redder and redder.
When my consciousness came to my senses under the tree's shadow, I realized that drinking from the same bottle of water seemed to be an indirect kiss.
She didn't have time to feel embarrassed, because in the light of the movie screen she found that the man next to her still had the same cold and serious look as before, but upon closer inspection, his ears were very red.
Shuying pursed his lips and smiled.
When we finished watching the movie and walked out of the cinema, it was almost two o'clock.
She had to go back to the village because the village was too far from the county town. It would take a long time for her partner to send her back and then come back.
Chen Xi didn't expect time to pass so quickly.
It seems that the time is almost up.
Before sending the target back to the village, Chen Xi still took Shuying to the supply and marketing cooperative.
At first Yang Shuying was reluctant to go, but later he heard from his partner that he really had something to do at the supply and marketing cooperative, and that he had to buy some gifts for his comrades.
Only the shadows of trees accompany people as they go by.
As soon as she entered the supply and marketing cooperative, her boyfriend really made a big purchase of many things.
I didn't buy any food this time, but I did buy some cigarettes, alcohol, and maltose.
Shuying didn't think much about it and thought he really bought it for his comrade.
After buying things, Shuying sat in the back seat and Chen Xi took her away.
Neither of them noticed that just as they left, a man ran out of the supply and marketing cooperative.
If Shuying was there, she would definitely recognize that this was her cousin Su Li, the person her second sister-in-law introduced to her last time.
Su Li had a crush on a handsome military officer whom she met only once last time. She wanted to meet him again, but unfortunately, she went to the tea shop frequently for several days but never met him.
Recently, her family has been urging her to get married. She has high standards and looks down on others. The more she thinks about it, the more she feels that the foreign military officer who worked in the tea shop before is a good match for her.
Just now, Su Li saw the handsome officer again in the supply and marketing cooperative. Before she could be surprised, she saw a little girl next to him. She knew this little girl, who was Zhu Wenwen's sister-in-law.
Su Li frowned.
She immediately went to Zhu's house to find Zhu Wenwen.
Zhu Wenwen happened to be there, and was a little surprised to see Su Li coming here now.
"Su Li, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Su Li rolled her eyes and suddenly asked tentatively: "Wenwen, has your sister-in-law found a partner?"
When Zhu Wenwen mentioned the matter of Yang's younger sister, her face turned unhappy. Her husband had been angry with her these past few days because she had introduced a guy to Yang's younger sister.
She is very proud and cannot lower her head. As a result, the two of them have been in a cold war for the past few days. Naturally, Zhu Wenwen is angry with the younger sister of the Yang family.
So when Su Li mentioned Yang's younger sister, she naturally didn't look happy: "She has a date, why does she need me to introduce her to my man?"
When Su Li heard this, she agreed and immediately felt relieved. She said that there was no way a military officer would be interested in a country girl.
There is no way the two of them could be an object.
When Su Li learned that Yang's younger sister knew the military officer, she felt a little jealous but also thought it was a good opportunity.
So Su Li immediately said that her cousin and the younger sister of the Yang family were a perfect match, and if they were still willing, she could bring them together.
"Does your cousin have a partner?" Zhu Wenwen felt that Su Qiang, a worker, was a good match for Yang's little sister.
But she did not forget that her man got angry with her a few days ago and questioned her how the person she introduced to Yang's younger sister had a partner.
Zhu Wenwen was a little confused at the time, thinking that Su Li would not introduce a dating partner to her. Su Li's eyes flashed with guilt, but Zhu Wenwen did not see it. She just heard Su Li say, "Where did my cousin get a date? It's just a country girl who pestered my cousin and deliberately wanted my cousin to be responsible!"
Zhu Wenwen nodded. Su Qiang is a worker, so wouldn't it be easy for him to be entangled by a country girl?
However, she had no intention of introducing Su Qiang to Yang's younger sister.
Since such a good partner was introduced to Yang's younger sister, she didn't know how to cherish him and her husband even blamed her. How could Zhu Wenwen find such an unpleasant thing again?
She was just waiting to see what kind of man the Yang family's younger sister would marry in the future. If the workers in the county town looked down on her, what else could she want to marry?
After learning what Zhu Wenwen meant, Su Li nodded and agreed: "Your sister-in-law has her eyes on her forehead. She doesn't even look at her own background and has no self-awareness. Let her marry a country girl in the future."
Zhu Wenwen also felt that when Yang's younger sister married and moved to the countryside, she would definitely regret missing out on the working conditions she had introduced to her.
You have to know that workers are very popular nowadays, and there are many girls who want to marry workers. If you regret it later, don't look for her.
"You came to me just for my sister-in-law's matter?" Zhu Wenwen asked.
Su Li's purpose was certainly not this. Ever since she knew that the younger sister of the Yang family knew the military officer she liked, she wanted Zhu Wenwen to convince the younger sister of the Yang family to introduce the military officer to her as a partner.
Zhu Wenwen explained the purpose of her visit.
Zhu Wenwen had never thought that Yang's younger sister actually knew a military officer, and she remembered what her husband had said about her younger sister's boyfriend being a military officer.
Zhu Wenwen still felt that the military officers looked down on the younger sister of the Yang family. In the county, she had heard many stories about the younger sister of the Yang family chasing after a young educated man and even stealing his girlfriend's ...
Moreover, in her impression, the younger sister of the Yang family was not a particularly likable person.
It would be strange if the military officers took a liking to her.
So Zhu Wenwen hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't have time to go back to the countryside recently. How about I ask my sister-in-law next time I meet her? If she really knows a military officer, I will ask her to introduce that officer to you?"
Su Li was of course very happy.
However, she was a little worried that the younger sister of the Yang family was too good-looking. Who knew that she looked down on her cousin and was attracted to the military officer she liked.
Why does Zhu Wenwen always say that Yang's little sister is average looking?
Thinking of this, Su Li felt a sense of crisis, fearing that the person she liked would be snatched away by the younger sister of the Yang family.
But that military officer would definitely look down on Yang's little sister, a country girl.
Just in case, Su Li took Zhu Wenwen's hand and said earnestly: "Wenwen, when you meet your sister-in-law, you must ask her to be down-to-earth and not to be too demanding. Just find someone who is just about right and don't dream of those who are too different from her. If she regrets it and still likes my cousin, I can help her find someone else!"
Zhu Wenwen felt that Su Li wanted to introduce her cousin to Yang's younger sister out of respect for her.
Why doesn’t her man understand her?
When Shuying returned to the village entrance, she didn't know that someone had set his sights on her boyfriend again, so she got off the bus at the village entrance.
Chen Xi stopped her and stuffed an extra bottle of cigarettes, alcohol and maltose into her hands, and also stuffed the money for lunch into her hands. Before Shuying could refuse, Chen Xi said that he bought these for his father-in-law and mother-in-law. As for the lunch money, since they were a couple, of course he should pay!
He was anxious to bring his wife home, so naturally he had to please his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Shuying heard the other party simply call her parents "father-in-law and mother-in-law", without even mentioning the prefix.
Yang Shuying: “…”
"I have to go to my comrade-in-arms' home, the Zheng family. I'll sit there for a while and then go back to the county town immediately!" Before going to the Zheng family, Chen Xi still specially reported to his partner.
This time he went to Zheng's house to completely resolve the issue with Zheng Lan.
He knew that Zheng Lan was interested in him these years, so he tried to reduce the number of visits to Zheng Fengshou's house as much as possible.
He had always thought that when he returned to Kyoto, he would not have much interaction with Zheng Lan, so he did not take Zheng Lan's interest in him to heart.
What's more, since the other party didn't bring it up, he couldn't say anything. He could only try to reduce the number of times they met as much as possible.
But now his targets are people from the village.
Selfishly, he didn't want Zheng Lan to cause trouble for his partner.
In public opinion, he and Zheng Fengshou are comrades-in-arms, and Zheng Lan is his sister. Although he is not very familiar with them, he treats her as a junior and does not want her to fall in love with him and delay herself.
The only best way is to let the Zheng family understand his attitude and immediately find a suitable partner for Zheng Lan.
Good for each other.
