Chapter 50
After Jiang Yugui and Cao Meimei slept together, Cao Meimei forced him to divorce and be with her, so he actually went home and filed for a divorce with Cao Guifang.
It is not difficult to understand his thoughts. He has slept with her already, and it is not difficult to accept that Cao Meimei is willing to marry him now. The young Cao Meimei is definitely better than Cao Guifang, who is old and ugly at home and only knows how to swear and take advantage of others.
Didn’t you see that she has offended several families since she came to this compound?
Besides, Cao Meimei's threat to him was really effective. If she sued him, he would have no way to defend himself.
Not to mention that Cao Meimei knew about his affair with Qingqing. Although there was no evidence, if Cao Meimei reported the matter to Cao Guifang, Cao Guifang would directly bring her family to tear down his house.
Jiang Yugui thought very clearly. He realized that Cao Meimei was not an easy person to deal with. So he let her fight with Cao Guifang. At least he would not be blamed by her family members.
After making such a fuss, he got a younger wife instead. No matter how you look at it, he did not lose out. The only pity is that if this happens, he will have to give up Qingqing.
Jiang Yugui was a little unwilling. She was clearly a cooked duck, so how could he let her fly away?
On the surface, he seemed to obey Cao Meimei's every word, but in fact, he secretly searched for Qingqing in the places where he and Qingqing often met before, but he never saw Qingqing again.
Could it be that she was angry after knowing about his relationship with Cao Meimei, and went back to have a blind date? Jiang Yugui felt that he had missed too much, and could not help but start to blame Cao Guifang and Cao Meimei in his heart. If it weren't for the two of them, would he, a formal worker, still need a woman?
He was destined not to wait for Qingqing, because Qingqing had already retired when Cao Meimei rolled into Jiang Yugui's bed.
Because Cao Meimei kept urging him every day, Jiang Yugui felt a little interested and took a day off and went back to Qingyang Village with her.
The bus stopped at the commune, and on the way back to the village the two met acquaintances along the way. Everyone looked at Jiang Yugui with a smile and was very enthusiastic.
"Yugui, please go home. Why did you come back with this girl?"
Jiang Yugui responded to everyone's greetings with a smile and didn't say much.
Everyone's eyes wandered over the two of them, and then they started chatting.
"Look at them standing side by side. If you don't know, you might think they are a couple."
"Don't mention it. Jiang Yugui is good-looking to begin with. After living in the city for a few days, he seems to have become even more handsome. He really looks like a city dweller now."
"Look at him. He is a city dweller, but he still remembers to come back to visit his wife and support her family. If anyone ever said that Jiang Yugui was not a man, I would be the first to disagree."
Jiang Yugui didn't hear the gossip, otherwise he wouldn't be as calm and composed as he is now.
The two of them walked all the way, and Cao Meimei had a smile on her face the whole time. She had made up her mind that after she and Jiang Yugui got their marriage certificate, she would take him back to the village. Bringing a city guy back to the village would make those peasants jealous.
"Second uncle, I'm going to cook first. When my second aunt comes back and we have dinner together, you can explain everything to her. Then we'll go to the brigade headquarters to get the certificate. Is that ok with you?"
She pulled Jiang Yugui's arm and acted coquettishly, which instantly reminded Jiang Yugui of the appearance of this little devil in bed. An inexplicable smile appeared on his face, "Go ahead." After saying that, he patted the other person on the butt.
"Oh, you're annoying."
Cao Guifang was slacking off at work in the fields. When she heard that her husband had returned, she quickly found an excuse to take a leave and hurried back. However, as soon as she reached the door, she heard a woman's voice coming from her yard.
"Jiang Yugui, who is in the yard?"
As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw her husband standing in the yard smoking. He simply charmed Cao Guifang to death. She was attracted to Jiang Yugui's face and the fact that he had no elders in his family.
How many girls liked him at that time, but in the end he was the one who got the advantage.
Now men have become workers and eat commercial grain. Oh, if only Fubao hadn’t gotten into trouble.
"Brother Gui." Thinking of Fubao, Cao Guifang's voice suddenly became gentle and asked, "How have you found out about Fubao? When can we get our Fubao back? You are his father, you can't just watch him suffer!"
Jiang Yugui already disliked everything about Cao Guifang, and when he saw her start yelling again, he frowned and said, "You're yelling again, what are you yelling about? Didn't we already agree on this matter? Why are you bringing it up again?"
At first, Jiang Yugui planned to go to the city to work and then start inquiring about Fubao, but the most powerful person he could contact was Qingqing.
But Qingqing said that if the child is not educated at this time, it would be hard for him to grow up, let alone be filial to his parents. What's the point of having a child who is not filial to his parents? Is he going to be used to collect debts? It would be better to reform him now.
Jiang Yugui had wondered if this was just Qingqing's way of getting rid of him and she just didn't want to help.
But when he thought about how rude Fubao had been over the years, and how he had snatched food from his parents more than once or twice, he thought whoever gave him food was the boss, and if he wasn't given food, he would start to throw tantrums and roll around, just like his mother. So Jiang Yugui thought that Fubao should suffer a little so that he would know what to do and what not to do.
"What do you mean I should bring it up again?" Hearing his tone of indifference, Cao Guifang immediately became angry. "Why, isn't he your Jiang Yugui's child? Go out and take a look. Which father is like you, Jiang Yugui?"
Jiang Yugui felt a headache when he heard the sound that pierced his eardrums, and he felt more and more that it was a good decision to come back today.
Qingqing once said that behind a man there should be a considerate woman supporting him. If a woman is not considerate she will definitely be a hindrance. Isn’t Cao Guifang such a hindrance?
He felt that he was already a city dweller and did not want to damage his image, but he looked at Cao Guifang with obvious disgust in his eyes.
"What's that expression on your face? Am I wrong? How could there be a father as cruel as you in this world?"
Seeing that Jiang Yugui didn't say anything, she wanted to yell again, and then she heard Jiang Yugui say: "Then you should find a new father for Fubao."
"What did you say?" Cao Guifang looked at Jiang Yugui in disbelief, "Jiang Yugui, say it again!" She was about to touch Jiang Yugui's face, but Jiang Yugui pushed her and she fell to the ground.
"Jiang Yugui, you hit me! You dare to hit me!"
The fact that Cao Guifang is usually obedient at home does not mean that she has no temper at all, because Jiang Yugui will almost always go along with her and rarely gets angry, so she still lives a very comfortable life at home.
What she didn't know was that Jiang Yugui gave her enough face outside and was willing to coax her at home just because he wanted Cao Guifang to take good care of him, help him take advantage of others, and help him keep the house in order. All he needed to do was sigh in the dead of night, "Wife, marrying you is the best thing I have ever done in my life. I can't imagine how I would live without you." to make her run around in circles.
Now that there is something better, she naturally becomes the one who is abandoned.
"Oh, what happened, Auntie?"
Cao Meimei was so happy to hear the two people quarreling. She felt that she would be able to succeed soon and now she was just one step away from success. She quickly walked out, twisting her waist.
Seeing her, Cao Guifang's face changed, "Why are you here?"
You know, the confidence she had in her mother's house all these years was due to the fact that her husband was obedient and she could often go to her mother's house to get things. Now, she lets that damn girl Cao Meimei see her being beaten. Doesn't she have any face?
Cao Meimei didn't answer, she went forward and helped the man up, "Why did you fall to the ground? Get up quickly, the meal will be ready soon, let's talk about it after dinner."
Cao Guifang then realized that smoke was still coming out of her chimney. "You damn girl, who told you to touch my food? What did you do?"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she naturally revealed what had just happened, which was also a way for herself to save face.
"I see there's a piece of bacon in the cupboard. I can cut it up and stir-fry it with garlic sprouts, and then beat an egg to make egg drop soup. Ah... Second Aunt..."
Before Cao Meimei could finish her words, her ears were pinched, "I'm going to pinch you to death, you damn girl. How dare you cut my flesh and steal my eggs? I'm going to beat you to death." Pinching her ears wasn't enough, her hands also kept pinching her, making Cao Meimei scream.
"Second uncle, second uncle, save me."
Jiang Yugui couldn't help twitching when he heard this title. He looked at Cao Meimei meaningfully and shouted, "Alright! What are you making a fuss about!"
This shout really scared the two of them. As soon as Cao Guifang let go, Cao Meimei immediately hid behind Jiang Yugui.
Her action made Jiang Yugui, who had not enjoyed such treatment for a long time, feel pity for her. Who likes to face a tigress at home every day?
Seeing that Cao Guifang was still trying to attack, Jiang Yugui angrily said, "Cao Guifang, didn't you hear what I said?"
It is said that women have very accurate intuition. She looked at the person in front of her and felt disgusted no matter how she looked at him. She was furious and said, "Jiang Yugui, get out of the way. Why are you protecting that little devil? Is she so unscrupulous that she doesn't even spare her own young people?"
There was a loud bang in the spacious courtyard, and this time Cao Guifang was knocked to the ground hard. She was still dizzy when the blow hit her coccyx.
After finally recovering from the shock, she stood up and started cursing, but she couldn't even stand up after groaning for a long time.
At this time, someone outside the door had already heard the sound and came over.
"Yugui, what's going on? Guifang is lying on the ground."
Seeing someone coming, Cao Guifang howled even louder, "Oh my god, Jiang Yugui beat someone to death!"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. There were men in the village who beat people, but when a woman was beaten, she would shut herself away behind closed doors for fear that others would know. But Cao Guifang was such a ruthless person that she didn't care.
"Hey, Yugui, why are you hitting someone? Help him up quickly!" The person who spoke was Wang Po, the good-natured woman in the village. She couldn't interfere in other people's family affairs, but she couldn't bear to see people sitting on the ground like that.
It would have been fine if they hadn't helped her, but once they did, Cao Guifang started to cry out even more miserably. Finally, the village chief, the team leader, and the commune health worker were all called over, and only then did they discover that Cao Guifang had broken her coccyx and had to go to the county town for hospitalization, otherwise she would never recover.
Just when everyone was worried that Jiang Yugui would not agree, he unexpectedly took out a cigarette and handed it to the team leader, saying, "Team leader Lao, please lend us the ox cart so that we can go to the commune and take a bus."
The captain's astonished expression was the same as everyone else's, because they had already made it clear what had just happened. It was all Cao Guifang's fault. Cao Meimei had come with great difficulty, and she didn't appreciate the help she got from cooking. It would have been fine if she hadn't appreciated it, but she went on to hit her. Shouldn't she be beaten?
What is going on? Cao Meimei made delicious food. Who doesn’t like to eat delicious food? Besides, she is not eating it herself. Besides, it hasn’t been cooked yet. In a word, it is wrong to hit people.
These people who help Cao Meimei may not really think this way. It's just that Cao Guifang is usually unforgiving no matter whether she is right or wrong. This time they finally see her admitting defeat, so they have to step on her hard.
Since no one spoke up for her, Cao Guifang could only accept it.
Now that she heard that her man was going to find a bullock cart to take her to the county town, she was extremely moved. After all, they were a couple, so how could Yugui really want to quarrel with her?
I think he is in a bad mood, and it's also my fault. I finally get to see him, but he still keeps yelling. It's just his habit. I must change my temper next time.
However, what she didn't know was that when she came back next time, her man would have run away, so there would be no chance for her to change. Of course, this is all a story for later.
After sending the person to the county town, the helper naturally went back first. After examining him, the doctor said that it was a coccyx fracture and required surgery. Jiang Yugui handed over the money unhappily without saying anything.
Cao Guifang knew that she was in the wrong, and more importantly, she could only rely on Jiang Yugui to take care of herself in the future, so she didn't dare to complain.
What she didn't expect was that Jiang Yugui really ignored her and didn't even stay in the ward that night. Cao Guifang was so scared that she couldn't sleep all night.
On the one hand, she felt that Jiang Yugui was a heartless person. After all, how loyal could a man who didn't care about his own elder sister and son be?
On the one hand, she felt that she and Jiang Yugui had lived together for so many years, and she had done her best to take care of him and even gave birth to a son for him, so he shouldn't be so cruel.
As a result, the next morning she found a nurse in the ward, saying that Jiang Yugui had hired her to take care of her.
Cao Guifang was stunned when she heard this. "Take care of me, but what about Jiang Yugui?"
"He said he had something to do. Girl, if you have any problems, just come to me. I have been taking care of people in the hospital. I promise to take good care of you."
The nurse had never seen someone so young hiring a nurse in the countryside, and it was just a broken bone, so she was capable of doing the job.
Cao Guifang was overjoyed at first, thinking that Jiang Yugui really cared about her. He must have hired a nurse for her because he felt guilty about causing her fracture.
Oh, the couple actually said so much. She just forgave him.
Then when she asked the nurse about the 80 cents a day, she felt bad, but no one cared about her now, so she could only accept it. She also felt that it was too unfair for the other party to get so much money without doing anything, so she wanted to bargain, but after being rejected, she started to harass the nurse, and in the end, she was the one who harassed her.
The relationships between people are mutual. If she doesn't know how to respect others, she will naturally not be respected.
What was Jiang Yugui doing at this time?
He and Cao Meimei had already gone to the brigade headquarters to get their marriage certificate, and they were now a legal couple.
As soon as the two of them left, several comrades at the marriage registration office started discussing it.
"How can there be such a person? Who would believe that he and Cao Guifang have broken up?"
"That's right. With Cao Guifang's personality, if she really gets divorced, wouldn't there be a huge uproar?"
"We asked them to get their marriage certificates before, but they didn't believe us. Let's make a fuss. I think our work will be easier now."
"Is Cao Guifang going to come and cause trouble for me?"
"What's the point of making trouble with us? Can we stop the captain from issuing the marriage certificate?"
"If you ask me, Cao Meimei is even less of a worthless person..."
Not only Yu Yao was unaware of the excitement happening in Wanyuan County, but even Xu Ying had missed the latest news.
The two of them strolled around the city the next day. The department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives in the city were much more upscale than those in the county town. Xu Ying was amazed at what she saw. But not to mention that Yu Yao was from modern times, even the Shanghai city she had been to before was much better than here.
After just a stroll, Yu Yao lost interest, but she did notice one thing, that is, there are very few cooked foods here. For example, various canned foods and cakes are all common ones, similar to those in county towns and towns. It seems that the market potential here is still huge. I'm afraid that except for big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, everywhere is almost the same.
If she wants to accumulate capital, she might be able to start from these places, but individual economies are not currently supported, so the operation may be a little more complicated and she will make less profit.
It seems that these were just incidental items. Yu Yao mainly bought some things for the wedding, and also bought some clothes and daily necessities for Xu Ying.
Xu Ying wanted to refuse, but Yu Yao didn't give her the chance. "Just take it with confidence. When you make money in the future, treat me to delicious food and buy me new clothes. I will definitely not refuse."
Xu Ying, who had not been crying before, started to cry when she heard her words. She couldn't stop crying. She cried and said, "Eat whatever you want. I'll buy it all for you."
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the car laughed.
Yu Yao looked at Cai Qi in surprise, just in time to see Cai Qi retract his smile.
Thoughtful.
No one took this little incident seriously, but after Xu Ying cried, she looked much more relaxed and no longer had the forced smile on her face. Yu Yao also breathed a sigh of relief.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when the three of them returned to the army. Xu Ying had missed the time for new recruits to join the army, but because of special circumstances, she was allowed to train with the recruits first and then officially join the army with the new recruits in the spring of next year.
Yu Yao accompanied her to complete the formalities, and then helped her to clean up the dormitory before taking her back to her home.
As soon as the gate was opened, Gu Qing came out to greet him, "Wife, you're back." God knows how uncomfortable he felt after not sleeping with his wife in his arms for two days, but now he saw his wife, carrying all these bags.
"Xiaoying, this is Gu Qing." Yu Yao seemed not to notice the resentment in Gu Qing's eyes, and introduced him, "Gu Qing, this is my friend since childhood, Xu Ying."
They had seen each other before, but had never greeted each other formally. Today was the first time.
"Hello, brother-in-law." As soon as Xu Ying opened his mouth, Gu Qing felt relaxed all over.
He showed his big white teeth and smiled, "Hello, hello. I've heard about you from Yao a long time ago. Thank you for taking care of me. You must be hungry. The meal is ready. You can eat after washing your hands. Come in quickly."
Xu Ying was obviously surprised when she heard his words. She looked at Yu Yao, as if puzzled. Yu Yao nodded slightly at her, and she immediately raised a thumbs up.
It's really hard to find a man like this these days.
The two of them chatted back and forth, completely ignoring Gu Qing in front of them.
Although Gu Qing knew that these two people were praising him, he still felt frustrated when his wife was not enthusiastic about him after not seeing her for two days.
There didn't seem to be a lot of stuff, so a few people moved in directly.
Cai Qi was about to leave when Yu Yao called him back, "Cai Qi, please stay and have dinner with us. You've worked hard these past two days. Go back and have a rest after dinner."
The leader was there at the time, so Cai Qi naturally looked at the leader first.
"What are you looking at me for?"
Cai Qi pursed his lips and nodded, "Thank you, sister-in-law." He raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Ying beside him.
Gu Qing performs steadily as usual, and the taste of each dish, including fried eggs with leeks, braised pork ribs with potatoes, tiger skin green peppers, fried tofu, and vegetable soup, is just right.
"Were your family members chefs in the past? How come your cooking skills are so stable?"
Yu Yao knew that Gu Qing had been waiting for her to speak, so she complimented him in front of the two of them. As a result, he smiled broadly like a big dog wagging its tail, picked up a piece of pork ribs for Yu Yao, and said, "If you like it, I'll do it whenever I'm free in the future."
Cai Qi and Xu Ying were busy eating, it was hard to bear to watch them.
After dinner, Yu Yao planned to send Xu Ying home, but was rejected by Xu Ying.
"No, no." She didn't want to delay their time together. Didn't she see that her brother-in-law was about to put his eyes on Ah Yao? "Isn't Comrade Cai Qi going back? Comrade Cai Qi, can you send me off?"
The three of them looked at Cai Qi at the same time, and saw Cai Qi nodded and said hesitantly, "Okay."
After the people had gone far away, the two returned to the house, and Yu Yao said, "Why do I only realize now that Cai Qi is so boring? Can he find a wife like this?"
Gu Qing thought to himself that he used to be much colder than him.
"Wife, look at your man, can you please stop caring about other people?"
"Hey, what are you doing? Put me down, Gu Qing!"
As the saying goes, a short separation is better than a new marriage. The two were already newlyweds, so this short separation was very unbearable. Yu Yao was worried about his old waist.
Yu Yao originally had a lot to say to Gu Qing, but in the end she didn't get the chance. She was so tired that she couldn't even open her eyelids.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already daylight, but she was too tired to get up. Yu Yao felt like there was a big fire next to her. She moved to the side, but was pulled back again.
Yu Yao struggled for a while but failed to break free, so he turned around and glared at the other person.
"Why didn't you leave?"
Normally, when I wake up early, I can't see Gu Qing in the morning. Why is he still in bed at this time?
"Wife, it's already noon. Are you hungry? Get up and eat."
Although he said this, he didn't loosen his hand at all.
"Ah! What did you say! It's noon? I said I was going to walk around with Xu Ying!"
Yu Yao wanted to sit up, but her strength was no match for Gu Qing's, so she couldn't move at all. "Let me go."
"Don't worry, I have arranged everything. I asked Cai Qi to take her to the town market. She must have a lot of things to buy since she just arrived. Cai Qi is familiar with everything. They may not be back yet."
Yu Yao knew that Cai Qi was a trustworthy person, but when she thought of Xu Ying's infatuated look, she couldn't help but worry.
"Does Cai Qi have a girl he likes?"
He doesn't look like he would lack girls who like him. In Gu Qing's opinion, both Su Ye and Xu Ying are pretty good. And these are people she knows. There may be many more people she doesn't know.
He was always very considerate in doing things. If Xu Ying really received his meticulous care, she would be completely bewitched by him.
It's possible for two people, but if not, it's better to keep some distance.
"Why, do you want to bring them together? I'm afraid it won't be easy." Gu Qing said.
"What do you mean?" It seems like there's a story behind this.
It turned out that Cai Qi had a girlfriend at the beginning, and that girl was his high school classmate. However, at that time, the girl's family did not agree with the two of them being together, thinking that Cai Qi was a poor boy with no future and was not worthy of the girl.
So, by chance, Cai Qi got the opportunity to join the army and he resolutely chose to do so.
Since joining the army, he has been working very hard, taking the lead in every task, and slowly saving some money.
But he was already quite old when he joined the army, so it was not easy for him to move up. Finally, he got a promotion opportunity thanks to a mission, which was a glimpse of hope.
Unfortunately, when he was planning to go home and propose marriage with his military achievements, he found out that the girl was already married and had children.
"What's going on? Don't the two of them have any communication?"
Yu Yao felt indignant for Cai Qi. How could he encounter such a terrible thing?
However, such a situation is inevitable regardless of ancient or modern times. All we can say is that the two people may not be destined to be together.
"Perhaps because his family was worried that Cai Qi would not be able to accept the truth, so they kept the matter secret. Because every time their letters were collected together with the parcels by their family members, in order to prevent them from being taken by others."
Although Gu Qing said it lightly, Yu Yao could hear the difficulties in the relationship between the girl and Cai Qi.
Sometimes it is really difficult to have a relationship without the blessing of family, especially when the families on both sides may not be bad people and they all want the best for the children.
But many times people's ideas are not the same. Parents may not understand their children's pursuits, and children may find it difficult to understand their parents' painstaking efforts. But in the end, one party will inevitably need to compromise.
But all these are in the past. If this is why Cai Qi became a bit depressed, then Yu Yao thinks that maybe he should have a chance to come out of it in the future, but that person has not appeared yet.
"Can I talk to Xu Ying about this?"
"Do you want to remind her not to care about Cai Qi?" Gu Qing found that his daughter-in-law's ideas were different from others.
If other people heard this story, they would probably think that Cai Qi was a man of affection and righteousness. Even Gu Qing thought so.
But as soon as Yu Yao mentioned it, he understood what Yu Yao was thinking.
She probably thinks that Cai Qi still has that girl in his heart. It's really painful to think about this, but Gu Qing thinks that Cai Qi is not someone who can't let go.
"Maybe he just wants to become better and give the people he cares about a better life, not necessarily thinking about the past."
Who knows this?
Yu Yao didn't say this. Anyway, she was planning to mention it to Xu Ying. Regarding the two of them, she was of course on Xu Ying's side. If they were going to be together, such a thing should not be hidden. Yu Yao just told Xu Ying in advance.
It's too early to think about these things now, as they may not be able to get along well with each other.
However, Yu Yao understood why Cai Qi was so cold to Su Ye at the beginning. He must have felt that they were not a good match and had no intention of responding from the beginning.
"I understand. I won't interfere too much with them. Xu Ying is innocent and I don't want her to get hurt. If they can be together, I will bless them."
"Alas, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so don't worry about them, daughter-in-law."
"Pfft! How shameless of you to take advantage of others?"
Gu Qing leaned close to Yu Yao's ear and said in a hoarse voice: "Then I will only take advantage of my wife, my wife..."
Yu Yao couldn't stand the sound of him whispering in her ear, so she nudged him and said, "I'm hungry, get up!"
If she doesn't get up, she will suffer again and she should stay in the city for two more days.
Gu Qing didn't delay any longer this time, but when he turned over, he directly hugged Yu Yao. Yu Yao was almost speechless, how could there be such a clingy person in the world?
"Look, you're so clingy to me. What are you going to do when we go out on a mission for several months?" Yu Yao said, clicking his tongue twice.
Gu Qing's face changed, then he relaxed, "I have to prepare a dinner party recently, and I shouldn't have any tasks." This dinner party is considered his wedding, and the leaders all know about it. They probably won't assign him any tasks recently.
However, unexpectedly, Yu Yao's mouth seemed to be enlightened.
After lunch, Gu Qing received an urgent task as soon as he returned to the office.
The mission was to go to the neighboring province to find a wealthy businessman who had returned from Gangcheng. The wealthy businessman was a mainlander, but he had gone to Gangcheng in his early years and made a fortune by doing some jade and antique business. Later, he heard that someone was going back to the mainland to carry out tomb robbing activities, so he resolutely returned to the mainland to stop the group from transporting the good things back to Gangcheng.
However, he was attacked because of this, and the things he had intended to hand in disappeared along with others.
The place he has been appearing recently is in the neighboring Xia Province. This time, Gu Qing’s mission is to find him as soon as possible and retrieve the stuff.
Such a task is not easy, at least it is difficult to complete within half a month. In this case, the wedding of the two may not be able to be held.
"It doesn't matter. In fact, we have already obtained the marriage certificate. It is not so important whether we eat this meal or not. The interests of the country are more important."
Anyway, a wedding nowadays is just a dinner. Yu Yao would be lying if she said she wasn't looking forward to it, but she wasn't looking forward to it that much either. If she wanted to, she might as well wait until the 1980s when things became more relaxed and she could have a grand wedding.
Hearing her say this, Gu Qing was moved and felt guilty, and he hugged her and lay there for a long time.
Cao Lu was also aware of their arrangements and had originally thought of helping them liven up the meal in the cafeteria before they set off, but was rejected by Gu Qing. He knew that Yu Yao had made a lot of preparations for the dinner during this period.
It's not like she said that having this meal is not important, so he doesn't want to let Yu Yao down. At worst, they can wait a little longer.
The two of them actually thought of the same thing.
"Can I go with you?" Yu Yao thought for a long time before expressing her thoughts. She had not officially taken over the task yet. If Gu Qing took her with her for the first time, maybe it would be much better. She believed that she would not hold Gu Qing back.
Gu Qing pinched her slender fingers, feeling the warmth of his wife, "That's definitely not possible. You haven't received training yet. You can only take on simpler tasks at first, and you still need training for the tasks, but I believe that one day we can fight side by side."
Thinking of that possibility, Yu Yao's heart was boiling. She nodded, "Then be careful. I'll wait for you to come back."
Apart from this, Yu Yao didn't know what else to say. He didn't understand their mission, couldn't make any plans for them, and the golden finger couldn't help him. "Are you leaving soon? Do you want me to make some protein bars for you to take with you?"
"No, we will bring enough money this time."
Seeing that his wife cared about him so much, Gu Qing felt very happy, but he had to complete the task.
He hugged Yu Yao tighter, "I will miss you, daughter-in-law." Then he kissed Yu Yao hard, "I'm leaving."
Gu Qing went on a mission just like that, on the eve of their wedding.
Yu Yao felt a headache looking at the new clothes and various ingredients she had prepared. How long would it take her to eat so many things? Fortunately, her second brother and Xu Ying were here, so she was not alone here.
She felt a little uncomfortable without Gu Qing in the first two days, but Yu Yao adjusted her mentality quickly. She accompanied Xu Ying around for a day and invited her and Yu Sheng to have dinner together. Xu Ying officially started training, and Yu Sheng also started his promotional work.
Yu Yao herself was no longer idle. Since she wanted to fight side by side with Gu Qing, she had to prepare early. She asked Cao Lu if she could join the team earlier. Cao Lu naturally agreed and took her to meet her direct leader that day. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a big brother from the canteen of the family compound.
Occasionally, when Yu Yao doesn’t feel like cooking in the morning, she will get up early and go to the cafeteria with Gu Qing to have breakfast. This big brother’s wontons are absolutely delicious.
The eldest brother’s surname is Zhang, and his given name is Zhang Wei. His usual job in the cafeteria is to make wontons and serve rice. He wears glasses and looks very gentle.
"Hello, Comrade Yu Yao, I will take care of you from now on."
"Hello Comrade Zhang, please give me your guidance."
Cao Lu looked at the two and laughed a few times, "Okay, stop pretending, everyone, be more casual, you should just be yourselves." After saying that, he looked at Yu Yao, "Zhang Wei is an excellent comrade of our Canglong, follow him and do a good job."
Yu Yao nodded: "Don't worry, Cao Lu, I will."
"Okay, then Zhang Wei, I'll leave this girl to you."
Zhang Wei still had a cold look on his face. This was how he usually behaved, quiet and reserved.
But it was the following conversation that made Yu Yao feel what an excellent comrade is.
Zhang Wei didn't say too much to Yu Yao, but he understood Yu Yao's basic situation.
When he learned that Yu Yao could speak English and Japanese, he immediately switched languages and started chatting with Yu Yao. Yu Yao didn't react for a while and stumbled for a while before getting smoother.
Not only does the other person know English and Japanese, but his skills are just as good as Yu Yao's.
"You don't have much of a problem with your two languages. If possible, you can continue to learn a fourth language. My suggestion is to learn Russian..."
Suddenly he paused and said, "Forget it, let's go with German or Spanish. We have many tasks now, some of which may be to protect or investigate talents and foreign experts who have returned from abroad. Germany's production line is more advanced, and we often come into contact with them. Spanish is mainly because it covers a wide range of people. Not only many people in Europe can speak it, but also many people in Latin America speak it as their mother tongue."
"Pick one and I'll teach you."
Yu Yao was stunned. How could a random guy serving food in the cafeteria speak so many languages? Yu Yao's first reaction was that maybe he was also a time traveler?
Who knew that he seemed to have guessed Yu Yao's thoughts and said, "When you really enter our Candle Dragon, you will find that we have many special talents here. My skills are not worth mentioning."
Yu Yao smiled awkwardly, and took this job more and more seriously. This was probably the nature of someone who admired the strong.
"Then I choose German." As Zhang Wei said, Germany's machine manufacturing has always been at the forefront of the world, and the mainland in the 1970s and 1980s was exactly when these machines were needed, especially during the period of economic reform. Many companies suffered a lot of losses due to language barriers. I hope she will have the opportunity to do her part.
Zhang Wei hummed, "Okay."
"I heard you're very strong, Bibi?"
In arm wrestling, Yu Yao was not afraid. He rolled up his sleeves and finally won back a point.
Then she finally saw a little surprise on Zhang Wei's calm face, "Very good, but I heard that you haven't studied it systematically."
Yu Yao nodded.
"That's a waste of your strength. I'll teach you some moves in the future to put your strength to good use. When we do this, we may have to fight with people in close combat a lot."
He kept staring at Yu Yao while saying this. He did not see any fear on Yu Yao's face, and he felt a little more admiration for her in his heart.
In addition to fighting skills, Yu Yao also has to learn shooting, cooking, maintenance, etc.
In Zhang Wei's words, having many skills is never a burden.
However, due to the special nature of the team, their studies cannot be made public, so the study time is set in the early morning, and they have to set aside two hours every day to study.
This is the biggest challenge for Yu Yao in taking on this job, but since she has made the choice, she will not back down. She just needs to adjust her work and rest schedule.
Fortunately, this learning is not endless. It is only like this for the first three months. After that, she will focus on in-depth study, mainly self-training. There will be occasional assessments, so she doesn't need to study regularly.
For the next period of time, Yu Yao began to study medicine at the health center during the day and train with Zhang Wei at night. His life was very fulfilling.
She only works four hours a day at the health center, and her main work is related to medicinal materials, such as collecting herbs, preparing herbs, selecting herbs, and decocting herbs.
Traditional Chinese medicine is not advocated now, but in order to save military expenditure, the army has not cancelled the original traditional Chinese medicine. For the people in the family hospital, as long as their diseases can be cured, it doesn’t matter whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine.
This also gave Yu Yao the opportunity to go up the mountain alone.
