633: Past Events
When Zhou Ziheng first went to the battlefield, his second brother had just died, and the whole family was still immersed in the great grief of losing a loved one.
And we have to face the possibility of losing another loved one at any time.
During that time, Zhuang Huaijian could hardly sleep all night. She couldn't face the loss of her last son. Every day and night was torment for her.
The whole family looked forward to news from the front every day, but was also afraid of the news from the front.
I am especially afraid of seeing the list of casualties.
Every time I took the list of casualties with trembling hands, I would look through the names one by one, trying to find out if my son's name might appear. That process was simply inhuman torture.
Every time after looking through the list and not finding Zhou Ziheng's name, the whole family would thank God in their hearts as if they had escaped a disaster, and then continue to suffer in the waiting.
Get through one day after another.
Fortunately, Zhou Ziheng survived the brutal war.
Although he was seriously injured several times, he managed to survive.
The Zhou family’s hearts, which had been hanging in the air, finally relaxed!
After the war, he returned to the Beijing compound with injuries but also with the glory of triumph. He became a war hero and the pride of the entire compound, and was the most famous person for a time.
It was also at that time that You Wenyue, who had been waiting for him eagerly, could no longer wait and threatened to marry Zhou Ziheng.
It just so happened that both parents thought it was a good match. You Wenyue's parents were particularly satisfied with this young, promising son-in-law, and Zhou Ziheng's parents also liked this daughter-in-law who seemed sensible and filial.
The two families are old friends who know each other well and are well matched. To outsiders, Zhou Ziheng and You Wenyue are a match made in heaven!
Everyone thought they would get together.
But unexpectedly, Zhou Ziheng suddenly said that he was injured in that place by shrapnel, not only losing his reproductive function, but also becoming a disabled person.
To prove that he was not lying, he took out the diagnosis from the military hospital.
This news came like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone.
However, no one doubted Zhou Ziheng's statement at that time.
After experiencing the artillery fire on the battlefield, it is a miracle to come back alive. What does a few injuries matter?
Although Zhou Ziheng's parents and sister felt sorry for his injury, at least they could see a living person and did not have to die on the battlefield like Zhou's second brother.
They were already very grateful to have survived the brutal war. They did not dare to ask for more and accepted this fact calmly.
However, the people of the You family did not think so.
Especially Yu Wenyue's mother.
Because Yu Wenyue's mother has only this one daughter. From childhood to adulthood, this only daughter is the apple of the old couple's eyes. They take good care of her and fulfill her every request. Even if their daughter wants the moon in the sky, the old couple will find a way to pick it down.
In the hearts of the old couple of the You family, their daughter deserves the best things in the world!
My daughter's marriage must also be perfect.
Now that Zhou Ziheng is disabled, he is not only unable to bring happiness to his daughter, but also unable to raise his own children. The old couple cannot bear to watch their daughter jump into the fire pit.
So I firmly disagree with my daughter marrying Zhou Ziheng!
The attitude of the You family has changed dramatically. The Zhou family also feels that their son is injured and does not want to harm such a good girl as You Wenyue, so the attitudes of the two parents are very consistent and they do not agree with the two of them being together.
In this situation, Jia Zan, who had been silently paying attention to Juventus, finally stood up.
For many years, Jia Zan has been secretly in love with You Wenyue, and almost everyone in the compound knows about it.
He knew that You Wenyue liked Zhou Ziheng, so he had been enduring silently.
Now knowing that Zhou Ziheng was injured and that both Zhou and You's parents opposed the marriage, he finally mustered up the courage and stood up at the right time, telling You's parents that he wanted to marry You Wenyue and promised to treat You Wenyue well for the rest of his life.
How could the You family’s parents not know Jia Zan’s feelings?
They knew that Jia Zan had always liked their daughter, but they had looked down on Jia Zan in the past, thinking that Jia Zan was honest and not smart enough. Moreover, most of the sons in the compound followed in their father's footsteps and worked in the army, but the Jia brothers were different. Neither of the brothers had ever served in the army, nor did either of them work in the army, so they looked down on the brothers.
Yu Wenyue's parents never took Jia Zan into consideration.
But now the situation has changed dramatically. Zhou Ziheng has become a disabled person, and there is no suitable son-in-law to be found. Just in time, Jia Zan stepped forward to express his position to the parents of the You family. The You family's father and mother, desperate, agreed to let their daughter marry Jia Zan as a second choice.
To be fair, although Jia Zan is not as outstanding and promising as Zhou Ziheng, he is a down-to-earth and honest man, and is deeply in love with their daughter. If their daughter marries Jia Zan, she will definitely not suffer any grievances.
So, after everyone's persuasion and mediation, You Wenyue finally gave up her obsession, resigned herself to her fate and married Jia Zan, becoming Jia Zan's wife.
After recovering from his injuries at home, Zhou Ziheng suddenly decided to give up his bright future in the army and resolutely chose to retire.
His choice shocked the entire compound.
Because of his military exploits and qualifications, as well as his parents' reputation and connections in the army, Zhou Ziheng definitely has a bright future in the army, and it is not impossible for him to surpass his father in the future.
He gave up a bright future and chose to change his career, and to a remote and desolate place like the Great Northern Wilderness where it was difficult to achieve results. No one could understand why Zhou Ziheng was so pessimistic.
Even his father, who had always supported his career, frowned in confusion and did not approve of his son's decision to destroy his future. He thought that by doing so, he was letting down the army's training of him. He should serve the army until his death instead of running off to a remote farm to engage in agriculture. This would simply bring shame to the whole family!
But Zhou Ziheng is the kind of person who will not easily change his goal once he has set it.
No one can change his mind.
With his insistence, he completed the formalities, packed his luggage, and went to the Great Northern Wilderness.
This time I was away for more than four years.
Four years later, Zhou Ziheng returned to Beijing for a meeting and brought a girl from the Great Northern Wilderness with him.
This is undoubtedly a big event for the Zhou family.
Therefore, Zhuang Huaijian and Zhou Ziying, mother and daughter, were on high alert and made no hesitation, preparing seriously for Yu Xiaoye's arrival.
Zhou Jingru didn't care much about family matters and didn't know about any special changes at home, so he didn't notice anything.
Until the end, he didn't know that the person his son was going to bring home was actually his girlfriend.
-----
The Zhou family here has been preparing.
At the Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation, the Corps working group was also making final preparations for the Agricultural Reclamation Conference.
The people in the art troupe were even more nervous.
Yu Xiaoye was also very nervous, but she was not nervous because she was going to perform at the Great Hall, but because she was worried that something might go wrong, such as someone like You Wenyue coming to cause trouble.
Zhou Ziheng saw her worry and took the opportunity to persuade her during the meal that You Wenyue had not discovered their relationship until now and probably would not discover it again.
Even if they knew about this through other channels before the show started, they would not be able to sabotage it.
The hall is heavily guarded, with strict checks on entry and exit. Even for Juventus, it would be impossible for him to get in casually.
These words finally made Yu Xiaoye feel relieved temporarily.
Two days later, all the teams going to Beijing to perform officially entered the Great Hall of the People for the final rehearsal, competing on the same stage with performance teams from reclamation areas across the country.
As the ballet "The Pioneer Sisters" by the Beidahuang Production and Construction Corps came on stage, the magnificent vocal chorus and beautiful dance attracted great attention.
Reporters came to interview before the conference even started.
Liang Qin arranged for Yu Xiaoye and Ming Jiajia to be interviewed.
Ming Jiajia was so excited that she was incoherent when facing the interview with Beijing reporters, and Yu Xiaoye answered the questions on her behalf throughout the interview.
Yu Xiaoye was relaxed and spoke freely, explaining the conception of the entire ballet and the significance of choreography of this musical.
