If it were anyone else, this man probably wouldn't even offer an explanation.
So He Weian put the money back in his pocket, sighed, and said, "Actually, I went to Beijing this time to accompany her back to her parents' home. We got our marriage certificate at the beginning of the year."
I haven't had time to plan a wedding yet, and this is the first time I've accompanied her home. I feel bad for her having to go through all this trouble.
By the way, Shufen is also from Beijing; she was a sent-down youth who came to my village's production brigade last summer.
To be honest, if He Wei'an hadn't told him, He Chaoyang really wouldn't have realized that the woman was an educated youth sent to the countryside.
After all, most educated youth from the city, especially female educated youth who had just been sent to the countryside, paid quite a bit of attention to personal hygiene.
But the person just now didn't seem to have very good personal hygiene.
Of course, this doesn't mean that rural people have bad hygiene habits; it's just that their habits are different from when they were young.
However, He Chaoyang didn't have the habit of commenting on other people's wives. He simply said, "She should have been sent to the countryside in the same batch as Shuning."
Since you know you've wronged her, treat her well from now on. Life in the countryside isn't easy, and you can't accompany her to the army now, so treat her well in other ways.
He Wei'an calmed down and realized that he had gone too far. After all, she was just a young girl, and he was more than ten years older than her. He should have been more considerate of her.
So she lowered her head in shame and said in a muffled voice, "I know, I've just been having a lot of bad luck lately and I'm feeling down. It won't happen again."
The two then chatted about things in the military.
Compared to the upright posture of He Chaoyang, He Weian next to him looked somewhat listless due to his dejected mood, and he appeared somewhat hunched over.
Looking at their manner of speaking and handling things, the other couple specifically returned to Beijing to hold their wedding, but she and her husband had already registered their marriage several months ago.
She had brought up the wedding several times, but the man kept saying that he was busy with the military and that it wasn't his first marriage, so they wouldn't have a wedding.
Wu Shufen felt wronged whenever she thought about this. He was remarried, but she was a genuine young woman who had followed him.
Although it was said that she schemed against him, shouldn't He Weian, an old man of his age, be pampered like Commander He was, having married such a young and beautiful city girl?
You say you're not as good-looking as her, and you don't even say anything about not having a higher official rank, but how come you're so much worse at interpersonal skills than her?
The more Wu Shufen thought about it, the angrier she became. She angrily grabbed the lunchbox, poured the rice directly into the lunchbox containing the braised pork, stirred it with her chopsticks, and started eating.
Judging from their posture, it seemed they didn't even intend to leave a bowl of soup for He Wei'an.
Thinking that He Chaoyang and Chen Shuning might have a conversation, Chen Shuning washed her lunchbox and inquired about the location of the food cart before going to take a look around.
After buying a few loaves of bread that He Chaoyang had just mentioned, Chen Shuning headed back. She was worried that leaving for too long would make He Chaoyang worry, so she only left for about ten minutes, thinking that would be enough time for the two of them to talk.
Therefore, when Chen Shuning returned, he saw Wu Shufen tilting her head back and shoveling rice and vegetable soup into her mouth, with oily vegetable soup still hanging from the corners of her mouth.
To avoid embarrassing Wu Shufen, Chen Shuning lowered his head as he passed by her cubicle. However, Wu Shufen interpreted this as Chen Shuning looking down on her, and she began to hate him even more.
