The two returned to the compound, and Zhang Hongmei congratulated them with a smile.
"Hongmei, let's go back for dinner."
"Go ahead, I'm fine here. You guys go back and keep the old folks company. By the way, Liu Jingzhang, when are you leaving?"
"I will not leave until the 25th of the first lunar month."
"Okay, I understand. Liang Dan will leave with you then."
After seeing the two off, Zhang Hongmei thought of Gan Lu from the underwear factory. She wondered how Gan Lu was doing; sometimes she even forgot about her, she felt like Gan Lu had no presence in her life.
"Lu Jing, do you know anything about Ganlu?"
Lu Jing shook her head. "I don't know her very well. We weren't together, but we did go on missions together before. This girl is ruthless. She's ruthless to others, but even more ruthless to herself. That's why the two leaders put her by your side in the first place."
And he was particularly cold. "Madam, do you intend to have her married?"
Zhang Hongmei smiled. "All the girls who came with you have found their partners, except for her. I'm afraid of holding her back, Lu Jing. It's not that a woman can't live her life on her own, but that's her personal choice. I don't want her to regret it later. I hope you can all be happy."
"Madam, you can call her back."
"Let's talk about it later. Her presence is too weak, even weaker than yours. She's like A."
“They went on missions together, and Ganlu and Jia do have a lot in common.”
Liu Jingzhang rode his bicycle with Liang Dan on the back, and he never stopped talking, just recounting his life story from childhood to adulthood.
"Liu Jingzhang, haven't you ever liked a girl?"
"No, maybe I'm a bit silly. Back in junior high, some classmates were talking about who liked whom, and I was puzzled at the time, wondering what they liked about each other."
When I got to high school, the studies were very intense. My parents didn't interfere with me and forbade me from having a girlfriend, but I still didn't see what was so great about girls. In addition, the teachers repeatedly warned against dating, so I focused solely on studying for the three years of high school.
When I got to university, I originally wanted to study Chinese literature, but my dad said he'd break my legs if I dared to apply. So I randomly chose political science.
There are few girls in the Political Science department; there isn't a single girl in our class. We're grouped with the Economics department, but there isn't a single one who catches my eye.
I finally saw a beautiful girl, who was also the girl my brother had a crush on, so I just coasted through college.
When I started working, I really couldn't say I was impressed with the clerks around me. The place where I worked was particularly remote, and some of the clerks there only had an elementary school education. That didn't really matter, but they all spoke with a thick local accent.
I really can't imagine how I would live with a wife like that.
My boss introduced me to potential partners, but looking at those shy girls, I had absolutely no interest, so I've been putting it off until now.
"So what do you see in me?"
"You? You're the one who caught my eye when you were tasting the dishes at Song Zigan's wedding banquet?"
"A food tasting? What would attract you to that?"
"Hehe, you were so focused back then, that kind of serene beauty is indescribable."
"oh?"
"And you are so patient in making and serving tea to the children, especially to Liu Qiang. I think you will definitely be a good mother in the future."
Liang Dan really didn't know.
"So what's your impression of me?"
"Our job is to identify everyone around the leader."
My impression of you is that you and your wife have a good relationship, and your wife is willing to talk to you.
"that's all?"
"Yes, and you're quite tall. Judging from your appearance, you're an upright person."
"Then why did you agree? You don't even know me."
“When my wife told me about it, I was a little worried, after all, given our status. But my wife asked me to go see your family, which was also to give myself a chance.”
I thought to myself that I was prepared to stay single for life, but my wife disagreed with my decision and thought that it was better for women to get married.
So we went to your house, and actually we heard everything the old lady said to you.
"Still calling me 'Auntie'?"
"Well, I actually decided to go in and take a look because I like Mom's personality."
My parents are wonderful people, really. I've never had any family growing up, so my mom's words about being devoted to me touched me deeply.
Liu Jingzhang, riding his bicycle, was speechless. Had she taken a liking to his mother? He was just an afterthought.
"Liang Dan, if Mom knew what you said, she would be very happy."
I am very happy. From now on, our family will definitely be harmonious, and there will be no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"Yes, I will definitely treat my parents well in the future and treat them as my own children."
As soon as the two arrived at their doorstep, they smelled the delicious aroma wafting from their home.
The elderly couple were overjoyed to see the two of them come in.
"Liang Dan, hurry up, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I'll fry some dough sticks for you, and I'll cook you some noodle soup."
"Mom, I'm not hungry. Let's eat together at noon."
"Okay, okay, if you don't want fried dough sticks, there are still sesame leaves and glutinous rice strips. You can eat them as snacks."
"Mom, I don't eat snacks. Can you teach me how to cook? I'm really bad at it."
“Okay, okay, come on, I’m stewing mutton right now. I’m a master at stewing mutton; your dad and Jingzhang both love it. Come on, let Mom teach you. Tell me what you like to eat, and I’ll make it for you.”
The mother and daughter went into the kitchen chatting and laughing. The father and son sat in the living room.
"Jingzhang, the photos of Hongmei have been developed."
"Okay, let Liang Dan take it back tonight."
"You're finally married. It's someone you chose and someone you like. You'll definitely live a good life together from now on."
"Dad, don't worry, how old am I? Hongmei said she'll send Liang Dan to work with me."
"That's great! Then we'll be close to having a grandson soon. Your mother and I are really looking forward to having a grandson. You two are both so busy with work, so bring the child back to us when the time comes, and we'll take care of him."
Liu Jingzhang didn't dare to agree. The matter was still far from settled, and besides, even if a child were to be born, Liang Dan's consent was required before the child could be sent back.
"Dad, I really can't say for sure. I don't know if Liang Dan will agree."
"Yes, we need our daughter-in-law's consent. We'll see when the time comes. If it doesn't work out, my husband and I will come and come with you."
"Dad, this is fine, but the living conditions there aren't as good as in the capital."
"Your mother and I have suffered all kinds of hardships, it's okay, as long as we can hold our grandson."
"Dad, what if it's our granddaughter?"
"A granddaughter is fine too. After the first one, there will be another. Even if they are all granddaughters, it's okay. Your mother and I will never make your wife suffer."
"Then I'm relieved. I was just worried that you two wouldn't get along."
