Chapter 62: Did it end in vain?
He was in a very complicated mood, who could understand? Yesterday he was thinking of introducing his daughter to this boy, but he didn't expect that this boy would remain silent and come back from a business trip to tell him that he wanted to apply for marriage!
Political Commissar Ning was unwilling to give in. "Xiao Zhou, won't you think about it again?"
Zhou Jingshen looked puzzled, "What are you thinking about?"
"The matter of marriage!"
"Don't you think it's too sudden?"
Zhou Jingshen had a cold face and sharp eyes. He looked at Political Commissar Ning with some displeasure, "What's so sudden about this?"
"I waited a long time for her to agree to marry me."
He urged Political Commissar Ning, "Political Commissar, hand it in quickly and get it stamped for me. I'm afraid she'll regret it!"
This is not a lie.
He was really afraid that she would regret it.
He couldn't believe it now that she would reject Chen Du, with whom she had been together for many years, and choose to marry him.
Maybe it's because she is still young and not mentally strong, so she acts rashly?
No matter what the reason, since she agreed, he would not let her go back on her word!
It doesn’t matter even if she doesn’t really like him now, as long as he likes her, there is still a long way to go.
Feelings can be cultivated, as long as she doesn't hate him.
Political Commissar Ning was very upset.
He watched helplessly as his promising young girl was snatched away by someone else. He was very curious about who on earth could make Zhou Jingshen, who was always rude to female comrades and was always calm and composed, so eager to marry her?
He glanced at the woman's name on the application form. It seemed familiar.
It rained for many days.
Finally, the sky cleared up and Zhou Jingshen led his comrades to repair the road. The most urgent task was to drive the truck parked in Xiaohe Village back.
In Xiaohe Village.
The captain is also arranging tasks.
It rained for so many days, with strong winds and heavy rain, that the crops in the fields fell down and needed to be rescued.
Add water, prop up the seedlings, replant, add fertilizer, there is a lot of work to do.
Song Shuyan was lazy and asked for leave on the pretext of having just recovered from a serious illness.
Seeing how frail she was, the villagers secretly complained that she was not a person fit to live on. Who would dare to marry such a delicate young lady who couldn't even carry anything on her shoulders or lift her arms?
Qin Fei also wants to take a leave.
Since I couldn’t find a good excuse, the captain wouldn’t approve it.
The team leader said earnestly, "Qin Zhiqing, there's a lot of work to do in the fields right now, it's just like the busy farming season. I really can't approve your leave!"
Qin Fei was so sad.
She also knew that the captain was so quick to approve Song Shuyan's leave because of Zhou Jingshen.
For a moment, she felt sour and mixed emotions.
I'm afraid that my best friend won't have a good life, but I'm also afraid that she'll leave me and live a good life alone. This is probably how I feel.
She could already foresee that if the political review passed and Song Shuyan married Zhou Jingshen, she would lose her and no one in the Youth League would be close to her anymore.
It was also difficult for her to fit in and play with Chunmei and Helan.
Just then, the comrade in charge of political review came to the village to inquire about Song Shuyan's reputation.
When she asked Qin Fei, she paused, forced herself to suppress her thousands of thoughts, and praised Song Shuyan again and again.
The other people in the village were the opposite of her.
It was said that Song Zhiqing was frail and could not endure hardship. He had been in the countryside for less than a month and had spent half of the time asking for leave.
The political review comrade asked the team leader to confirm whether what the villagers said was true. The team leader could not go against his conscience and say that the villagers were talking nonsense.
After listening to the villagers' chatter, Qin Fei became worried about Song Shuyan.
Can't these people say something nice?
After work, she hurried back to the educated youth.
"Shuyan, something bad has happened!"
After listening to Qin Fei say that the villagers said bad things about her in front of the political review comrades, Song Shuyan felt numb.
She sighed helplessly.
If she had known this would happen, she would have pretended to be diligent for a while.
Political Commissar Ning frowned when he received the political review report. He called Zhou Jingshen to his office and advised him to think twice, telling him that such a female comrade was not suitable for marriage.
Zhou Jingshen's brows furrowed, his expression becoming even more stern. He firmly told Political Commissar Ning, "I didn't marry her to work for me. She grew up in the same compound as me. I know exactly what kind of person she is."
"She grew up in the city, so isn't it normal for her to be bad at farm work?"
"Political Commissar, you also have a daughter. If you send your daughter to the countryside to do farm work, do you think she can do better than Song Shuyan?"
These words silenced Political Commissar Ning.
He actually felt that what Zhou Jingshen said made sense.
Song Shuyan doesn't have any major problems, he's just not hardworking enough and doesn't conform to the mainstream of today's era.
The next day, Song Shuyan went to the fields with everyone else. The team leader assigned them the task of propping up the bent rice seedlings in the paddy fields.
By the way, pull out the weeds that look very similar to seedlings.
An aunt working in the fields pulled out a weed and said to Song Shuyan with a smile, "Song Zhiqing, look, pull this out! Fortunately, the seedlings are taller than the weeds now, otherwise it would be hard to tell them apart."
"Many of the educated youth in your educated youth camp, when they first arrived, pulled the wrong crops, mistaking them for weeds."
Song Shuyan smiled slightly and nodded absentmindedly.
She looked at the muddy paddy fields under her feet and felt bitter. She wanted to cry, "Help!" She heard that there would be leeches in the paddy fields, and she was really scared!
What you fear will come to you.
She looked at the white and tender instep of her foot and saw a limp leech crawling up it. She turned pale and was panicked.
"ah!!!"
The aunt was so frightened that her hands were shaking, and she walked quickly to see her, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Nervously, he asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Song Shuyan was trembling all over. He pointed at his calf and cried, "Leech, leech!"
The aunt was quick-witted and quick-handed. She pinched and pulled her leg hard, and then flicked her hand, and the leech disappeared.
Song Shuyan looked at his still bleeding calf with a dull expression, "It's not broken inside, right?"
My aunt didn't hear clearly, "What?"
Song Shuyan quickly walked up the ridge of the field and checked his leg. Fortunately, it should not be broken.
This time, she refused to go to the fields no matter what.
The team leader had no choice but to arrange for her to replant peanuts.
There is no rush to grow the seedlings. All the able-bodied people in the village are now working in the paddy fields to support the seedlings!
How could Song Shuyan replant peanuts?
The team leader had no choice but to put the four female educated youth together and let Chunmei teach them.
"Alas, Song Zhiqing, you come to work and delay our work."
Song Shuyan felt aggrieved and she didn't want to come either.
Didn't the villagers say she was lazy and used rumors to force her to work?
Helan and Qin Fei were very happy. Which girl is not afraid of leeches in the paddy field?
“Life is so hard!”
Song Shuyan couldn't hold it in any longer and quietly dropped a few golden beans.
She was very grateful that the Song family knew she was not their biological daughter and gave her financial subsidies, otherwise her life would have been even more difficult.
For several days afterwards, Zhou Jingshen seemed to have disappeared, with no news at all.
Even the person who came to the village to drive the truck away was not him, but a strange soldier.
Song Shuyan couldn't help but wonder if the relationship between her and him had ended without any result?
It’s even more uncomfortable, what should I do?
