Lu Jianan looked at the telegram and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Director Zheng said, "Although this matter is not a big deal, I still think I should tell you about it."
After that, Director Zheng was actually very worried. In the army, there were almost no single people in Lu Jianan's position except for those who were widowed. Lu Jianan's personal problems had always been a concern for the army leaders. So Director Zheng sincerely hoped that Lu Jianan's marriage problem would go smoothly.
But those who do political work must be meticulous. Song Nanting's background and other information are fine, so there will definitely be no problems. But everyone's past affairs must be told. What if Lu Jianan minds it? If he finds out after getting married, won't there be conflicts?
Director Zheng handed a note to Lu Jianan, "This is the phone number of the comrade over there. He is also the one investigating the matter. If you want to know the details, you can call and ask."
After taking the note and seeing the phone number on it, Lu Jianan crumpled it up and threw it into the trash can, "Let's go."
"Ah..." Director Zheng frowned, "Why don't you ask clearly?"
Lu Jianan did not answer because he felt it was unnecessary.
For some reason, his chest felt a tingling pain, as if a hand was grasping his heart and pulling it out of his body.
He knew clearly that he felt sorry for Song Nanting.
If the marriage was good, Song Nanting would definitely not resolutely run away to the countryside.
How much suffering and pain did she endure?
He saw the condition of those hands clearly, they were covered with frostbite that had not healed.
After Lu Jianan came out, he drove out of the army and headed straight for Xiaohe Village.
It was only about six or seven miles away, and the car was driving fast, so it only took about ten minutes to reach Xiaohe Village.
Spring ploughing has started in the village one after another.
Lu Jianan parked the car directly at the entrance of the village and strode towards Yang Changhe's house.
When the villagers saw such a cold face, no one dared to say hello. Some people with bad intentions even looked at him and wondered if Song Nanting had done something to make this killer look so cold.
Song Nanting was a little surprised when she saw Lu Jianan appear at the door, "Why are you here?"
In an instant, the cold-faced killer's face softened.
He looked at her and smiled slightly, "I just happened to be free, so I came to take a look."
Song Nanting hummed, glanced at the pot in her hand, and asked him, "Have you eaten?"
Lu Jianan shook his head, "No."
Song Nanting was a little confused. "Then come in and wait. I haven't eaten yet. I'll cook and we can eat together."
Lu Jianan nodded again, "Okay, thank you for your help."
Song Nanting shook her head and went to work.
Liu Juan looked at Lu Jianan coming over and said, "I'm going to the main hall to chat with Auntie."
Leaving the space to Lu Jianan and Song Nanting.
Song Nanting said, "Please sit on the kang. My bed is at the end of the kang."
As she spoke, she was busy cooking. She cut more of the meat, found a scallion and chopped it with a rolling knife, then took out a red pepper and prepared to stir-fry.
The aroma of chili and garlic is stimulated and it smells fragrant. When the meat slices are stir-fried, it becomes even more fragrant.
Lu Jianan watched Song Nanting busying around, wondering how she had survived the past five years. And the indignation in her eyes when she saw Liu Juan's miserable condition, was it just because of Liu Juan or because of something else?
Lunch is ready, a dish of fried pork with peppers, a bowl of egg drop soup, and the staple food is hot corn tortillas.
The two sat opposite each other on the kang. Song Nanting handed him chopsticks. Seeing that Lu Jianan was still looking at her hand, Song Nanting smiled and said, "I have applied medicine. It's much better now."
Lu Jianan hummed.
Song Nanting looked up at him, "What's wrong?"
Lu Jianan shook his head, "It's okay."
"Then why did you come here suddenly? Didn't you say you would rest for a few days?"
Lu Jianan opened his mouth and said, "I just missed you and wanted to come and see you."
After saying this, Lu Jianan felt so embarrassed that he didn't dare to look at Song Nanting at all.
This was probably the first time he expressed his feelings in front of Song Nanting.
Only he knew how much he missed her.
Song Nanting was stunned for a moment, and the corners of her mouth curled up unexpectedly. She said, "I'm very happy that you can say that."
Sometimes she couldn't help but compare the current Lu Jianan with Lu Jianan in his previous life, but she felt that this was unfair.
Lu Jianan will always be Lu Jianan, and he will always be alone no matter what time it is.
Song Nanting stood up, placed her hands on the table, and kissed him on the forehead, "Reward."
This kind of behavior was very bold in those days. After the kiss, she sat back and drank some water nervously.
Lu Jianan's voice also became softer, "Let's eat first."
The two finished their meal.
Song Nanting said, "I have something to tell you."
Her expression was serious, which made Lu Jianan worry.
"Let's go out and talk. Let's go for a walk in the back hills."
The two of them came out and walked to the back of the village together. After walking for a while, Song Nanting said, "I was engaged before."
Lu Jianan hummed, not surprised.
Song Nanting guessed that the army might have investigated it, so she continued, "The man's name was Pan Shifeng. In 1970, he and his mother came to my house with 150 yuan to propose marriage, and my parents agreed. At that time, I was not living well at home. Seeing that he was a decent person and was gentle to me, I did not object. But on the eve of the wedding, he was selected as a worker-peasant-soldier college student and felt that I was not worthy of him, so he ran away without saying anything."
Perhaps it was because a long time had passed and she met Lu Jianan again, so she felt calm when she talked about these things again.
