"What method?" Qi Huilan stopped and looked at Liu Dajiang expectantly.
"Huilan, do you still remember the old regiment commander?" Liu Dajiang asked, "The old regiment commander's son is in our army now. When I retired, he had already been promoted to battalion commander. He and Mengmeng were engaged."
"What?" Qi Mengmeng decisively covered her mouth. The book did not say that Qi Mengmeng had a fiancé who was a soldier.
Qi Huilan frowned: "Then the engagement, can it still be counted?"
So many years have passed, Qi Huilan rarely thinks about the past and doesn't want to be involved with it, so she never told Qi Mengmeng that she has a fiancé.
"How can the engagement made by the old commander before his death not count?" Liu Dajiang raised his voice. Qi Huilan glared at him and he quickly smiled flatteringly: "Gui Zhi is only 24 years old and is already a battalion commander. He has a bright future ahead of him. Meng Meng will not suffer any loss if she follows him."
Liu Dajiang tried his best to praise Gu Guizhi's advantages, which made Qi Huilan suspicious.
"You are very familiar with the old leader's son?"
"We are all soldiers led by the old commander, so naturally we have to take care of Guizhi. However, all the credit given to Guizhi was earned bit by bit by him." Liu Dajiang was afraid that Qi Huilan would misunderstand, so he quickly explained.
Qi Huilan was very hesitant: "If Mengmeng marries him, will she have to join the army?"
Liu Dajiang thought Qi Huilan was worried about Qi Mengmeng, so he said with a smile, "Guizhi is already the battalion commander, Mengmeng will definitely be able to follow the army. The situation in the army is much better now, and Mengmeng may be able to live in a building when she goes there."
There was no relaxation on Qi Huilan's face. Once her daughter went to join the army, she was afraid that they would be separated for the rest of their lives. She only had this one daughter and didn't want to be too far away from her.
Seeing the reluctance on Qi Huilan's face, Liu Dajiang was worried about Gu Guizhi and wondered whether he should send a telegram to Gu Guizhi.
"We'll talk about the engagement later. You go and help see if you can avoid going to the countryside." Qi Huilan hesitated for a moment and thought it would be better to solve the problem of not going to the countryside first.
Liu Dajiang immediately decided to send a telegram as soon as he returned, otherwise, the wife that Gu Guizhi had been waiting for for many years might run away.
Qi Mengmeng watched the two separate from behind and hurried back to the ward. Her mind was spinning rapidly, wondering whether she should acknowledge the engagement or not.
When Qi Huilan came back, she saw Qi Mengmeng looking worried, and she had some thoughts about the marriage proposal that Liu Dajiang had just mentioned.
Qi Mengmeng has small arms and legs. Even if she can go to the countryside with them, I'm afraid she won't have a good life. Otherwise, let her meet Gu Guizhi. What if Mengmeng likes him?
Although she was reluctant, her daughter's good life was more important than anything else.
Qi Huilan decided to find another opportunity to ask about Gu Guizhi's current situation. If everything was really fine, she would tell her daughter about the engagement.
Qi Mengmeng thought about it for a while and put the engagement out of her mind. Compared with her own engagement, it was more important to quickly break up her mother's marriage.
That scumbag Ge Tiezhu, just tell him to get out of here as far as possible.
However, she had not yet decided whether or not to tell Qi Huilan about this matter. She was not sure, and she was also worried that Qi Huilan could not bear Ge Tiezhu's feelings for her.
As she was thinking, Qi Mengmeng actually fell asleep.
Qi Huilan soon discovered it. She shook her head and smiled, thinking about what Ge Tiezhu said during the day that the plan to go to the countryside could not be changed and he could bring more money for Qi Mengmeng. For the first time, she felt that her father had misjudged her.
After Liu Dajiang left the hospital, he first went to the Public Security Bureau to find two subordinates, both of whom were soldiers who had retired with him. When they heard him say that he wanted to follow Ge Tiezhu, they left without asking any questions. He then quickly went to find Director Sun of the Youth League Office.
The next morning, just as the post office opened, Liu Dajiang called Gu Guizhi.
Liu Dajiang learned from Director Sun last night that Qi Mengmeng would go to the countryside in seven days, and the list had already been submitted and could not be changed. He cursed Ge Tiezhu in his heart and decided to notify Gu Guizhi to come quickly.
As long as Gu Guizhi and Qi Mengmeng get their marriage certificate, Qi Mengmeng will be a regular military wife. She can then follow the army directly and won't have to go to the countryside.
However, in order to prevent any accidents, Liu Dajiang asked Director Sun to change Qi Mengmeng's location to a village near Gu Guizhi's military camp, and also postponed the time of the trip to a few days, so that he would definitely be able to wait until Gu Guizhi came.
In the Hebei Provincial Military Region, Gu Guizhi received a call from Liu Dajiang just after finishing training. His expressionless face became even colder and harder. He said to the phone, "I'll be there in three days."
He opened the drawer, took out the marriage application he had written long ago, read it through, and then went out.
Political Commissar Liao took Gu Guizhi's marriage application, read it over and over again, and asked in disbelief, "Are you going to get married?"
"Yes." Gu Guizhi nodded.
"Does Captain Qi know?" Political Commissar Liao asked with a raised eyebrow.
Gu Guizhi was silent for a moment, then said, "My mother-in-law knows."
Political Commissar Liao reminded him: "You'd better tell Captain Qi."
Gu Guizhi nodded and said the same thing.
Political Commissar Liao approved a ten-day vacation for him, and Gu Guizhi turned around and left without any pause.
"This kid." Political Commissar Liao shook his head, picked up the ceramic jar on the table and took a sip, then smiled and shook his head: "I thought he was not in a hurry to get married."
Qi Huilan didn't know that the son-in-law she didn't want to accept was coming, so she took Qi Mengmeng, who had been discharged from the hospital, home.
After two days of rest, Qi Mengmeng's complexion looked much better. Although she was still as thin as before, her eyes were bright and she looked much prettier than before.
When they walked to the neighborhood near her home, the familiar neighbors were all stunned when they saw Qi Mengmeng, and whispered behind her: "Why do I feel like Mengmeng has become prettier than before after being in the hospital for two days?"
"I think the eyes look very lively."
"That's right. That's right."
Qi Mengmeng and Qi Huilan walked to the door, and Qi Mengmeng whispered, "Mom, have you thought it through?"
"I've thought it through." Qi Huilan nodded. Although she was very unhappy, she tried to calm down and pushed open the door.
On the way home from the hospital, Qi Mengmeng had already told Qi Huilan that if Ge Wenling didn't want to give up her job, she should pay to buy it.
Qi Mengmeng's job was to be an office clerk, which paid her at least 1,200 yuan. Plus, Ge Wenling actually dared to sign her up to go to the countryside, so she had to pay her an extra 300 yuan as compensation.
Qi Huilan guessed that this amount was half of the money in Ge Tiezhu's hands.
Since they got married, the two of them have each set aside 20 yuan per month for household expenses, and the rest of the money has been saved by themselves.
Ge Tiezhu seldom buys things for his family. His salary has increased several times over the years, and he has saved about 3,000 yuan.
