Bai Ruozhen blushed and was about to explain when she was interrupted by Gu Changqing, "I suddenly felt that being a teacher is very tiring. I have to prepare lessons and teach in the cold winter and hot summer. It's so tiring, so I took her to the cafeteria of Yancheng Experimental High School."
"The cafeteria?" Qiu Lanying was stunned. "Why are you in the cafeteria? Isn't the cafeteria even more tiring?"
Gu Changqing patiently explained his reasons and said with a smile, "If she were in town, we still wouldn't be able to see each other often, so I think Yancheng is better. I can go see her anytime I miss her."
Bai Ruozhen seemed to have noticed something and looked up at him. The two of them were so affectionate that it made others jealous.
Qiu Lanying thought for a moment and said, "Have you found a good connection in Yancheng?"
"Well, Second Aunt has contacted her eldest brother and made arrangements. We can go when school starts on September 1st." Gu Changqing said.
"Have you told me about the teacher's position at the commune?" Qiu Lanying asked.
Gu Changqing said, "I guess my second aunt will have to decline the job tomorrow."
"Then let Xiaojun go." Qiu Lanying said. They are both daughters-in-law, and you can't just take care of one and ignore the other.
"Ah?" Wang Jun was shocked. "I'm going?"
Gu Changqing clapped his hands, "Yes, it's a good idea to keep the wealth within the family."
Gu Changsong looked at him with satisfaction and said, "Finally, I got something done." In fact, he had thought about it, but his second aunt obviously liked the fifth brother more, so the chances of success would be greater if the fifth brother were to speak up.
Bai Ruozhen held Wang Jun's hand and was truly happy for her. "Sister Wang Jun, go ahead. Being a teacher is so great. You won't be exposed to the wind or rain, and you'll get paid."
"Then why don't you become a teacher?" Wang Jun said. "Working in the cafeteria is so hard."
Bai Ruozhen choked and said angrily, "I prefer the cafeteria." Yes, she preferred the cafeteria because there were so many delicious foods. Most importantly, in Yancheng, she would have more opportunities to meet Gu Changqing.
Bai Ruozhen said, "Go ahead, go ahead. It's better than working in the fields."
"Go ahead and work in the commune to gain some experience. In a few years, we'll find a way to get you to Yancheng as well," said Qiu Lanying.
Wang Jun glanced at Gu Changsong, then nodded shyly.
The matter was settled, and Gu Changqing still had to go. However, Gu Changqing was unwilling to go out while his third brother was idle, so he dragged his third brother along. Gu Changsong lamented, "If I go, Second Aunt will scold me again."
Gu Changqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, she scolded you before because you didn't have a partner, but now that you have one, she will definitely not scold you anymore."
Gu Changsong: “…” He is really my brother.
After the two brothers left, Qiu Lanying cut the watermelon in half and gave a piece to Bai Ruozhen and Wang Jun respectively. "Eat the watermelon. No need to leave any for them."
Bai Ruozhen took it and thanked him, then took a bite and squinted her eyes immediately, "It's so sweet. The last time I ate watermelon was in my previous life." She thought about it and then looked at Gu Xiaoli. They smiled at each other tacitly, and both thought of eating watermelon in their previous life.
Wang Jun did eat it once after going to the countryside for several years, but it seemed that it was also given by Gu Changsong. However, the two were sworn enemies at that time. Somehow he ate Gu Changsong's watermelon. Now, he has become his partner.
Although Qiu Lanying said there was no need to keep it, Bai Ruozhen and Wang Jun both tacitly left a piece for their respective partners. Qiu Lanying was happy to see it. It seemed that these two daughters-in-law loved her son very much, so she had to be nice to them.
After clearing the table, Qiu Lanying said, "Zhenzhen, it's not easy for us to get together on ordinary days. How about we get married the day before Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Bai Ruozhen was fine with whatever he did, "I'll listen to my aunt."
Qiu Lanying nodded in satisfaction. "Good boy, although they say we are not allowed to hold a grand wedding now, we still have to get together as a family. Before you get engaged, let Lao Wu take you to Yancheng to make some new clothes and buy some necessary things. Next year, you can get married and go to Yancheng to live a simple life."
Bai Ruozhen was very moved after hearing these arrangements and nodded quickly.
Wang Jun said enviously, "Congratulations on your achievement."
Bai Ruozhen pursed his lips and smiled, "Sister Junjun, why don't we get engaged together, it will be more lively."
Wang Jun's face flushed red, "Too fast."
It happened pretty quickly. She hasn't told her mother about it yet, but her parents probably won't care.
"No, Junjun, if you don't feel wronged, I think it's good to be together." Qiu Lanying also called her Junjun following Bai Ruozhen.
Wang Jun blushed and said, "Let's wait for Changsong to come back and ask him first."
"Okay." Qiu Lanying was happy to have two daughters-in-law at once, feeling that this happiness came too suddenly.
"Then why don't you take some time to tell your parents about you two? Or ask Changsong to take a leave so that you two can go back home." Qiu Lanying felt that even an ugly son-in-law had to meet his parents-in-law and get to know them somehow.
Wang Jun hummed, "Let me write and ask first."
She didn't dare to say anything definite, for fear that she would be scolded if she returned suddenly.
When it was almost dark, Gu Changqing and Gu Changsong finally came back. They went to the water tank, picked up the water ladles and started drinking.
Qiu Lanying asked, "Is it agreed?"
Gu Changqing nodded while drinking water. Gu Changsong said, "Gu Laowu's words are still effective."
Gu Changqing put down the water scoop and said, "If you don't speak so meanly, will Second Aunt scold you?"
Qiu Lanying knew the character of her third son and said, "Serves him right."
Gu Changsong: “…”
Then Qiu Lanying announced the news that Gu Changqing and Bai Ruozhen were engaged on August 14, and then announced the news that Gu Changsong would meet his mother-in-law as soon as possible.
Gu Changqing was so excited that he even felt that the day was a little delayed. Gu Changsong was confused and felt that it was too fast.
However, Gu Changsong had to obey the mistress's order, and he also wanted to win the beauty as soon as possible, so it was fine.
