Chapter 17
The station is not far from the steel factory, but it still takes 20 minutes to walk there slowly.
They had plenty of time, and they didn't walk fast, but the summer sun was scorching. As soon as they went downstairs, they were overwhelmed by a wave of heat, causing Yu Yao to frown.
"Comrade Yu Yao, let me help you carry some things." Gu Qing spoke in a cold voice, but he maintained a good sense of distance, not appearing distant but very tactful. Coupled with his handsome face, Yu Yao directly handed him the net bag in her hand.
Gu Qing took it and said with a smile, "Comrade Yu Yao, do you have any questions for me?"
Yu Yao didn't know what question he was asking for a moment. After thinking for a long time, she was still a little confused. She could only say what was in her mind.
"I don't have any problem. I don't really have any requirements. As long as the person has good character and we can get along well, that's enough. You should also understand my situation. My family conditions are not good."
Now that she knows the other party's family is well-off, it seems like she is being frank in hindsight when she says this, but this is indeed what Yu Yao wants.
It was unknown whether Gu Qing was satisfied with what she said. He nodded and said, "I understand. Since Comrade Yu Yao doesn't know what to ask for, I will tell you what I can give you."
"Comrade Yu Yao may have roughly understood the conditions of my family. If we get married in the future, I hope you can go to the west with me to follow the army. You won't be with your parents-in-law and sisters-in-law often. You only need to keep in touch with them through letters or go back to visit them when I have time off. Of course, I can't rule out the possibility that I will be transferred back to the capital."
"I have the same view on your family. I will give you all the gifts and gifts that are required for marriage. I heard that your second brother is in poor health. There is an old man in our military region who is a good doctor. If you and your family are willing, you can let your second brother go with us. Although I cannot guarantee that I can cure him, the chances of early treatment are always greater."
"As for my request..." Gu Qing looked at Yu Yao, whose face was slightly red due to sweat on his cheeks, and said with an inexplicable dry mouth, "My request is similar to Comrade Yu Yao's, but there is one thing, I don't know if your family will agree. I hope your family can live in the city, not to take care of my grandfather, but just to visit him occasionally."
Yu Yao originally thought that Comrade Gu Qing was a man of few words, but he did not expect that he would talk so much. However, he spoke very clearly, and in fact, Yu Yao had already judged the pros and cons of it almost in an instant.
"Comrade Yu Yao, do you accept what I have said? Are you willing to marry me?"
Yu Yao stopped dead in his tracks when he heard this.
Although she knew that this era was different from later generations, but this...isn't this a little too fast?
But Yu Yao was shamelessly moved. No matter Gu Qing's appearance, temperament, words and deeds, or the conditions he proposed, Yu Yao could not refuse any of them.
"You... aren't you afraid that I'm with you just for your family's power?" Yu Yao almost bit her tongue after saying this. She didn't think so, but things developed too fast and she couldn't wrap her mind around it.
"I'll file a marriage report, and the military will conduct an administrative review. I believe we have time to get to know each other before that, and I also trust the results of the military review. Besides, no matter what you like about my family, that's what attracts you to me, isn't it?"
Gu Qing dared to tease her because he knew that she didn't think so, and sure enough, the little girl's face turned even redder.
Seeing that she didn't say anything for a long time, Gu Qing said, "I'm sorry, did I scare you? I am a person who moves forward firmly once I choose a goal. The first time I saw Comrade Yu Yao, I wanted to become her revolutionary partner. But if you think it's too fast, you can also observe it first."
No one can refuse a handsome guy's straightforward proposal. Yu Yao really wanted to agree immediately, but her mind told her not to do so, after all, marriage is a lifelong thing.
However, Gu Qing then mentioned that he would return to the army in half a month.
Yu Yao understood that he hoped that she could follow him when the time came.
This actually really made Yu Yao excited. Even though she had never served in the army, she knew that social relationships in the barracks would be simpler, which was perfect for someone like her.
The other party can also easily solve the difficulties in her family, which makes it hard for Yu Yao not to be moved.
"Look at me, do you really think I can do it?"
As Yu Yao spoke, she turned around in front of Gu Qing. As she turned, her two braids flew up and touched Gu Qing's heart.
It's no wonder that Yu Yao is suspicious. The truth is that she doesn't think her qualifications are enough to make her fall in love with him at first sight. Is it because of her face? In that case, can't he just look in the mirror himself?
The other party seemed to see her confusion and explained directly: "Comrade Yu, I believe you also understand my family. I don't need to find a rich wife to contribute to my family, and I also hope to get promoted in my career based on my own ability."
"I am not completely uninterested in your family. I want you to give up your rural life and move to the city. It is very important to me to take care of my grandfather. So Comrade Yu Yao, please do not doubt my sincerity."
What Gu Qing said was true. What he valued most in this world was his work responsibilities and his family. He valued Yu Yao not only because he thought she was lovable, but also because he was satisfied with her family who were loyal and righteous.
Moreover, if Yu Yao followed him, she would have to leave her hometown and join the army. Also, as a military wife, she would face some situations that other women might face.
Thinking about it this way, Gu Qing felt that he might have been a little too reckless. He should at least make these things clear first. Although he had already told her elder brother, what if she didn't understand the key points?
Unexpectedly, before he even opened his mouth, he heard the other party's clear voice saying, "Okay, then go and file the marriage report."
Yu Yao knows that marriage is important and has awe for it, but if she can't live together in the future, she can also think of ways to divorce. In short, she won't let herself be wronged.
Besides, whether you are suitable for each other or not can only be known after you have been together. In this era, if you get close to someone before getting married, you will be considered a hooligan. It is better to get married and get to know each other slowly.
He's so handsome, she won't feel bad if she sleeps with him.
Gu Qing didn't realize that while he was so happy, the other party had already thought about his abdominal muscles. He only felt that the other party's face became even redder.
For some reason, he felt a little awkward, which was rare for him.
"but……"
The two of them spoke in unison at the right time, and all they said was but.
Gu Qing looked at her in a panic, "You speak first."
"But everyone in my family needs to agree. My mom and second brother don't know about this yet."
Gu Qing nodded repeatedly, "That's as it should be. Tomorrow... no, you decide when the time is right. Grandpa and I will go to your house to visit Auntie and Second Brother."
Since the second brother has been called, Yu Yao couldn't help but curl her lips, "Wait until I go back and ask, then I will send a telegram to my eldest brother, don't be too anxious, let's tentatively set it for three days."
It wasn't that Yu Yao was dragging him down, but she wanted to resolve Liu Yang's issue first. She always felt that it would be a hidden danger if that issue was not resolved.
However, what I didn’t expect was that I just thought of Liu Yang the previous second, and met Liu Yang’s parents the next second.
"My sister has been forced to divorce, and you still don't help to deal with that brat. What are you trying to do? My sister is still pregnant. If anything happens to her child, I tell you, Liu Yuan, I will never forgive you."
"Hey, stop making a fuss. Do you want to let the whole world know that your sister is getting divorced?" After he lost his temper, he coaxed her gently, "Look at what you are angry about. Aren't you going to make yourself angry? Your sister is not my sister. How can I watch her suffer? Don't worry..."
Yu Yao looked at the two of them, quite speechless...
Hard to comment.
But before she could say anything, Wu Hongyuguang caught a glimpse of her and said, "What are you looking at, you vixen."
Yu Yao couldn't even utter the word "auntie" which turned into a dirty word. It was not worth it to ruin her image in front of her future husband for such a person who was about to bring bad luck. But Yu Yao had made up her mind. She would do her best to help her spread the news about her man and her sister. It would be best if everyone in the county knew about the good things happening in his family. Just see what she could do.
"What are you looking at? Don't think you can marry into our family just by hanging around the factory every day. You're dreaming. Last time you said it was your sister who wanted to meet my Liu Yang, right? I think your sister was fake, it was you. I tell you, I don't agree! Why are you pulling me together?" Wu Hong was already furious because of the divorce in her sister's family. Now that she found someone to vent her anger on, she was not willing to let it go easily.
However, she was so busy being angry that she didn't notice Gu Qing standing beside her, but Liu Yuan did.
But when Gu Qing heard her talk getting more and more outrageous, he had already walked over. He didn't look at the two of them, but looked at Yu Yao tenderly, "Ah Yao, who are these two?"
Of course, Yu Yao also saw Liu Yuan's changing expression, and at this time he was too lazy to respond, so he said, "I'm not familiar with him, let's go."
As they were talking, the two men were about to walk around them and leave. Wu Hong wanted to reach out to stop them, but Liu Yuan pulled her back.
"Stop making trouble. You dare to mess with anyone."
"Isn't she just a little girl?"
"Do you want me to help your sister..."
There was a complete silence afterwards, and Yu Yao felt that her ears were finally clear.
The two people were interrupted before they finished talking. Gu Qing was unhappy. Thinking about the two people just now, Gu Qing asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Yu Yao shook her head, but thought that since they were just in the initial stage of dating, such a thing should not be kept secret, so she explained: "My aunt told me about a blind date before, it's the son of those two people. I asked around in the city last time, and who knew I ran into her."
"But it doesn't matter now." Yu Yaochong laughed at Gu Qing.
She could tell the other party about it, but she didn't want the other party to think that she was a troublemaker. Since the other party was about to be in trouble, there was no need for Gu Qing to take any action.
Gu Qing didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, but he had some plans in mind.
