Chapter 41
After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Chaoyang picked up the envelope, tore it open, and took out the letter.
"Hello Comrade Zhang Chaoyang:
My name is Xu Di. Aunt Wang introduced your situation to me and said that you are a good young man who is responsible, respects women, and is capable of supporting a family.
As for me, let me introduce myself.
My name is Xu Di and I am eighteen years old this year. He is 1.65 meters tall and weighs 56 kilograms. I graduated from high school and now work in the warehouse department of a department store.
I admire the people's soldiers very much and think you are the most lovely people.
I am sending this letter to say hello to you. If you have no objection to being introduced to someone, we can communicate first.
All the important things have been said. I wish you all the best and peace. ”
Zhang Chaoyang looked at the piece of letter paper. The clean and beautiful handwriting on it showed that this was a girl with a cheerful and optimistic personality.
This was the first time in Zhang Chaoyang's life that he actually communicated with a girl.
In the past, the young men from the compound liked to ride their 28-inch bicycles and whiz around in front of the girls, thinking it was very impressive.
There were many other people, and there was a Kyoto girl sitting in the back seat of the car. Her red scarf fluttered in the wind, leaving behind a string of silver bell-like laughter.
Zhang Chaoyang may be born with a single-minded personality and is not interested in any of these.
Even if a girl had a crush on him, he would politely refuse, thinking it was meaningless.
Growing up with my grandmother, I feel that girls should be like my grandmother, strong, optimistic and open-minded.
He could not tolerate girls who were always in a bad mood, even if they were his own sister or cousin.
From the letter, Zhang Chaoyang felt that Comrade Xu’s personality was somewhat similar to that of his grandmother, and he felt a natural liking for him.
Thinking about the letter I sent, I wondered what Comrade Xu would think after reading it. Would he be scared and back off?
Zhang Chaoyang picked up the second letter, opened it, and took out the letter paper.
"Hello Comrade Zhang Chaoyang:
I have received the letter you sent. I understand your concern, but I am confident that I can overcome it.
Although as you said, if I choose to marry you, I will face many difficulties.
I can’t accompany the army, and I have to live apart for a long time. I have to deal with the trivial matters at home alone. In the future, I may have to raise my children alone...
I have considered and thought carefully about everything you said. I asked myself if I could be a good family member of a soldier.
After thinking about it carefully, I feel there is no problem. Although we have to be separated for a long time, I know that you are defending our country, and my sense of faith in my heart has increased.
Compared with our parents, conditions are much better now and all difficulties can be overcome.
So, Comrade Zhang Chaoyang, I think I have considered it carefully and can be qualified for the role of a military wife. ”
Zhang Chaoyang stared at the letter in his hand and recalled the contents of the letter in his mind again.
Comrade Xu is brave and bold.
The letter showed her admiration for the soldier, but there was also a feeling that was hard to describe.
Zhang Chaoyang put down the letter, closed his eyes and thought.
It is impossible for him not to get married. He may not care about other people, but he cannot ignore his grandmother's feelings.
Due to his career, he is destined to be separated from his wife for a long time. So, it is not impossible to find a lesbian who is liked by your grandmother and whom you do not dislike to start a family.
He cannot accompany his wife all the time, but he can be loyal to her and hand in his salary on time.
Zhang Chaoyang is a man who does what he wants to do. He has never been indecisive.
Quickly write a reply and prepare to send it out tomorrow.
As for Xu Di in the capital, after sending the letter, he didn't think much about it.
Although Zhang Chaoyang's qualifications meet her requirements, he is not indispensable.
Recently, the weather has been getting colder and colder, and it is winter now.
The pedestrians on the street were all wrapped up tightly, covering everything except their eyes.
Wearing big cotton pants, walking feels much more difficult.
She has been working with Jin Weidong for some time and there have been no mistakes during this period.
Every weekend, Xu Di finds time to deliver the goods. The quantity is fixed each time: five hundred eggs and twenty roosters.
As for the fruits, she decided to sell them out before the New Year. By that time, there will be so many people trading things and a wide variety of products, so her fruits will not stand out anymore.
As for Jin Weidong, he put the money in a fixed place in the cave in advance.
When Xu Di delivered the goods, he took the money, put down the items, and left.
This piece is very hidden and has not been discovered by anyone so far.
It has been more than a year since she came to the 1970s. Xu Di now has a job and a lot of savings. Next, she plans to find a suitable man, have a few children, and live a happy life.
Another weekend, Xu Di went to Liang's house carrying a bag filled with soil.
"Xu Di, come in quickly, isn't it cold outside?"
"Auntie Wang, it's okay. I have a lot of clothes on. Where are Sister Fang and the others? Are they not home?"
"She's back home. Her cousin is getting engaged today."
Aunt Wang helped Xu Di carry the bag into the house, preparing to plant some vegetables.
All the crops grown last year were fed to Kang Kang. During the winter, he gained three kilograms, rarely caught a cold, and never had to stay in the hospital once.
"That's really unfortunate. I was thinking about playing with Kang Kang for a while."
Xu Di likes Kang Kang and her nephew Xu Pingan very much. They are all at a playful age, ignorant, cute and adorable.
"Come over next week when you're free. Kang Kang is missing you, too.
By the way, have you communicated with Chaoyang? ”
Aunt Wang was very concerned about this matter and had asked about it before. At that time, Xu Di said that she had written a letter and sent it, but had not received any letter from Comrade Zhang.
"Yes, I received a letter from Comrade Zhang."
Xu Di was thinking about his second letter, wondering if Comrade Zhang Chaoyang would be scared.
People at that time were still relatively reserved, especially the words used between men and women, which were quite cautious, and it was rare for people to be as straightforward as her.
But Xu Di doesn't like Mo Ji. Especially since they are so far away from each other, a letter would take at least a month to arrive.
"Really, that's what Chaoyang said in the letter. That kid is not very good at speaking and is not very good at saying nice things."
Aunt Wang was very worried that Zhang Chaoyang was too blunt in his words and would ruin a good thing.
"Auntie Wang, Comrade Zhang has analyzed some disadvantages in his mind. If I marry him, it will be very difficult for me."
"That's the truth. Chaoyang didn't lie."
Xu Di thought about it and felt that Comrade Zhang was quite honest. He didn't say sweet words or make any big promises for her.
Maybe he didn't like her and wanted to scare her away, or maybe he wanted to give her a heads-up in advance so that she would be aware of what was going on.
Whatever the reason, we have to wait for his second letter. There should be an explanation.
"Auntie Wang, after I received your letter, I wrote a second letter to you. I expressed my attitude. I don't mind living apart from you in the future, and I have the confidence to be a good military wife.
As for what Comrade Zhang thinks, I don’t know yet because I haven’t received his reply. ”
Xu Di calculated the date and the letter should arrive.
"Chaoyang should be on another mission. He is not such a fool. No matter what he thinks, he will write back to you.
Please wait a little longer. I will write to you. ”
Aunt Wang was afraid that Xu Di would become discouraged and give up communicating, so they lost contact.
"I know, but I didn't want to give up just like that. There's still some time before the Chinese New Year, and I thought I'd at least get a letter from Comrade Zhang before the New Year."
Xu Di was not in a hurry. She was only nineteen years old during the Chinese New Year and could afford to wait.
The main reason is that it is not easy to meet a gay man who meets her requirements.
"Yes, I will definitely receive it."
Aunt Wang and Xu Di worked for a whole morning to plant all the flower pots. They also left a lot of soil, leek roots, and some vegetable seeds for Grandma Qian.
Aunt Wang said that Grandma Qian was not at home, so Xu Di did not go there.
I had lunch at Liang's house before leaving.
