Gao Shengmei curled her lips: "Humph, I don't believe it! If there is nothing, would you agree to marry five dollars?"
Jiang Jun caught the error in his words: "Hey, Xiaomei, tell me the truth, did you... kiss him? Did you agree to it after you had... kissed him?"
Gao Shengmei was so anxious that she stretched out her ten fingers to cover her mouth and pinch her flesh: "You, you bad guy, don't say anything!"
Jiang Jun waved his hand and knocked Gao Shengmei's claws away: "Oh! I got it right again!" He pretended to tilt his head to look at Gao Shengmei's neck: "That's what I said, such a big mark on your neck, it's obvious it's not a mosquito bite! Was it just now, when I went to your house to get something, hmm...?"
Gao Shengmei was both annoyed and embarrassed. Yue Peng had flirted with her while she was washing vegetables in the afternoon. Just now, when he went home with her to get something, he was picky about her room again. He even kissed her on the face when she was angry and tried to push him out.
Jiang Jun was right. Gao Shengmei lowered her voice and said, "So, we have no choice but to agree!"
Jiang Jun was stunned. This turn was too sudden. "Is this why you agreed?"
Gao Shengmei was also confused: "You've already been touched by someone, and you still don't agree?"
An actress in their factory once said that some very outstanding women married scoundrels because they had had relationships with them and were afraid of damaging their reputation, so they had to agree to the marriage.
Jiang Jun found this reason completely unbelievable: "That's not the reason you agreed to him! You agreed because of his merits and strengths. Whether he touches you or not is not the key."
In Jiang Yun's original time and space, the laws and regulations on protecting the rights and interests of women and children are becoming more and more sound, and many women even have the courage to say no to sexual assault in public!
Women at that time already understood very clearly that a woman's true happiness comes from inner freedom and joy, not just from succumbing to physical feelings and the opinions of others.
Gao Shengmei seemed to understand: "But someone in our factory said..."
Jiang Jun raised his hand to interrupt: "Stop! Is there anyone in your factory who lives a happy life?"
She remembered that Gao Shengmei and her film studio had many movie stars who, when they were old, were all veteran artists with both virtue and talent. The happiness on their faces showed the warmth accumulated over decades.
Gao Shengmei pouted: "Yes!"
Jiang Jun rolled her eyes again. "Then when you get back to work, ask them what I said and see if I'm right. Also, don't hang out with those who tell you life's hard and there are no good men. Just nod and say hello when you see them, and it's best to stay away from them!"
Women who have had unhappy lives can be divided into two categories. One category is those who bravely break away from their old lives and actively pursue a new happy life; the other category is those who do not have the courage to leave but cannot bear to see others doing well. They always use the excuse that they are doing it for your own good to kindly remind you and try every means to exploit others' shortcomings.
It seems that Gao Shengmei met the latter type of person.
The two of them hugged each other and whispered in the restaurant. Jiang Jun and Gao Shengmei continued to analyze the pros and cons of dating Yue Peng.
Gao Lei came down from upstairs: "Xiaomei, it's time to go home! I'll go to the guesthouse and be back soon."
Yue Hua waved his hand and said, "No need to send me off. Guards, just follow me. Let's go to the cafeteria for breakfast tomorrow morning and then leave directly."
Jiang Jun winked at Gao Shengmei: "Have fun! If it's fun, take me with you next time!"
Chen Zhong saw the guest out and turned to sit on the sofa: "Xiaojun, come here, I want to talk to you."
Jiang Yun sat down properly and said, "Yes!"
Chen Zhong first praised Jiang Jun before getting to the point: "You and Xiaofei are classmates and comrades-in-arms. Well, your relationship is more profound than others, so you'll feel more comfortable talking to each other."
Jiang Jun was very sensitive. She wasn't sure whether this was Chen Zhong's intention or Chen Zhong was reminding Ye Qingyin on her behalf, so she didn't say anything.
Chen Zhong coughed and said, "I absolutely trust you! Old Ye isn't in good health, and he's not working, so he stays at home all day. Sometimes it's inevitable that he might have a lot of thoughts. You should be more careful."
As a leader and a father, Chen Zhong is already very open-minded.
Jiang Yun knew that people with such broad minds were rare in any era. It was a great honor for him to meet such a person and become a family with him.
"Thank you Uncle Chen for the reminder. I will be more careful next time!"
Chen Zhong smiled: "Well, a person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear!"
Unfortunately, most people live their lives with their heads down, living in the shadow all their lives, treating the shadow as the sky, and even summarizing a set of shadow survival theories to educate their children and grandchildren.
Jiang Jun agreed with a smile: "Understood!"
Chen Zhong asked about Jiang Yun's work again. "I've discussed your work with Commander Gao. If you were to return to uniform, you wouldn't be able to take care of your family. But Commander Gao really appreciates you, so I've also told Old Ye that when we get your work quota, try to choose a unit where you can take time off. Commander Gao also said he'd like to invite you to be our instructor. What do you think?"
Jiang Yun was of course overjoyed: "My work is all arranged by Uncle Chen!"
Chen Zhong asked casually, "Did Xiao Wu call you after he left?"
Jiang Jun shook his head. "He didn't call! He just asked me to write him a letter and then have his comrades mail it."
Chen Zhong nodded. "That's good! You're still young, so work comes first! Old Ye was just saying that we should bring some gifts when we leave tomorrow. Come with me to the study and pick out some good things to bring."
How would Jiang Jun know? Her experience in gift-giving was just giving red envelopes!
In the seventies, she had never given a gift!
Jiang Jun suddenly remembered that she had brought Jiang Lan back to ask for help in rehabilitating Jiang Yonghua, but she had never given any gifts to Chen Zhong and the others. They were just the local specialties brought from Chuncheng.
Chen Zhong opened the cabinet and said, "There are cigarettes and alcohol here. Take care of them. I'll go talk to Old Ye."
Jiang Jun scratched his forehead, thinking about another question: Is the person who wants to give the gift a man or a woman, old or young, and is it just one person or more than one person?
You should ask Ye Qingyin about this.
Given Ye Qingyin's job position, she must have received gifts before.
If you know how to receive gifts, you can give gifts.
Jiang Jun simply gave up choosing and went to choose a gift without asking Ye Qingying's opinion. That was neither right nor wrong.
Sure enough, after a while, Chen Zhong came back and said, "Xiaojun, go to Lao Ye. She will tell you what to prepare."
In the Chen family, Ye Qingyin has the final say on all household chores, and she also has more experience in interpersonal communication.
