1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 6 Can you write me a letter of guarantee?
Hongqi Commune, Educated Youth Office.

Xue Mingliang entered the office carrying his briefcase, but before he could even sit down on the chair, he was told that someone was looking for him at the door.

As soon as he saw the person, Xue Mingliang's eyes widened. He stood up in a hurry and almost knocked over the hot tea he had just brewed.

"Qingye, when did you come back?!" Xue Mingliang hugged the newcomer and patted him several times. "Tsk, you're getting stronger and stronger!"

Seeing his old classmate Gu Qingye, his face also smiled a little more: "I just got back yesterday, and it happened to be my home leave."

Xue Mingliang and Gu Qingye participated in the military conscription in the same batch that year, but Xue Mingliang failed the physical examination. He was always envious of Gu Qingye every time he saw him.

Xue Mingliang moved a stool and closed the door.

"Just tell me what you need, and the brothers who can do it will definitely help you get it done!"

He knew that Gu Qingye was a busy man and must have come here for something important. They had known each other for more than ten years, so there was no need for false courtesy.

"Do you have any information on the latest batch of educated youth?"

Xue Mingliang was stunned: "Information about educated youth?"

Before Gu Qingye could speak, he leaned over, covered his mouth and lowered his voice: "Is there something wrong with someone?"

What could possibly require Gu Qingye to come personally? Xue Mingliang was frightened by his own guess.

Gu Qingye laughed: "It's not what you think."

Xue Mingliang looked at it for a long time, but couldn't see anything.

"If it's really a big deal, just give me a hint without violating the principles. I'm a timid person and can't stand being scared."

Gu Qingye said helplessly: "It's nothing, I just want to know."

Xue Mingliang nodded in understanding: "I understand the confidentiality agreement! Wait, I'll get it for you. Oh, and do you want me to find you an empty room?"

Half an hour later, Gu Qingye closed the file and fell into deep thought.

Her father is a professor who studied abroad, her mother is a doctor, and she has lived in Beijing since she was a child. She is a true young lady, and everything she sees matches what he sees.

So Lu Youyou was indeed designed?
Outside the meeting room, Xue Mingliang was standing guard like a sentry. When he saw Gu Qingye come out, he immediately moved closer, still covering his mouth and lowering his voice, as if he was saying something top-secret.

"Is it done? I was watching and no one passed by just now."

Gu Qingye wanted to laugh and patted him twice: "Well, thank you!"

"It's okay, we're serving the people!"

When Gu Qingye went downstairs, he met a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit.

The man stopped when he saw him, looked him over for a few seconds, and then asked, "Is that Captain Gu?"

Gu Qingye did a quick search, but there was no such person in his memory.

He extended his right hand: "Hello, I'm Gu Qingye."

The middle-aged man introduced himself with a smile: "I am the propaganda officer of the commune. I saw your family portrait on the wall when I went to Qiaoshan Village before. You are really young and promising. Seeing is believing!"

"Is Comrade Lu Youyou doing well in Qiaoshan Village? I've been busy lately and haven't had time to visit her."

The familiar name made Gu Qingye's mind move slightly.

"Do you know Comrade Lu?"

"My family and hers are old acquaintances. Since she came to Hongqi Commune as an educated youth, I naturally have to take care of her."

The middle-aged man added, "I feel relieved to leave this to your family. Your parents have always complained about not having the chance to repay Mr. Lin's kindness. Oh, by the way, Mr. Lin is Comrade Lu's grandfather. He was a famous traditional Chinese medicine expert back then. It's a pity that he passed away so early."

So what Lu Youyou meant by "in the past" was that the Gu family had received great kindness from her grandfather?

Gu Qingye pursed his lips, a burning sensation wrapped around his chest, rolling like molten lava.

He never knew that his parents and brother would repay him with hatred.

After leaving Hongqi Commune, Gu Qingye went to the county hospital again. He heard from his old classmate who worked at the county hospital that Gu Shuchen's illness could not be cured in the county, but going to a big city might be a cure.

Is this the reason why his parents and brother drugged him?
No one thought that if something went wrong, his military career might end there.

Perhaps in the eyes of his parents, everything he had fought for with his life was not as important as Gu Shuchen.

As we got closer to Qiaoshan Village, the roof of the Youth Hostel became faintly visible. At this moment...

"Brother Gu!"

Lu Youyou waved her hands vigorously, her feet were aching from standing. She heard from her fellow villagers that Gu Qingye had entered the city early in the morning, and she was looking here just after dusk.

Gu Qingye didn't expect Lu Youyou to be waiting for him here.

The pair of clear and penetrating eyes opposite him made it seem that the Gu family was so cruel and ruthless, and it seemed that he himself had committed sins that could not be washed away.

Lu Youyou's face showed six parts shyness, three parts fear, and one part boldness. Just as she was about to confess her feelings bravely, Gu Qingye spoke first.

His voice was solemn and powerful: "Comrade Lu Youyou, if your mind doesn't change, I am willing to take responsibility."

Gu Qingye thought it through and decided to repay the Gu family's kindness. Lu Youyou was afraid of him, so she protected her. As long as she was willing, he would take her away.

As for the few doubts that could not be clarified for the time being, Gu Qingye believed that he had never been afraid in his life.

The surprise came out of nowhere, and Lu Youyou was so excited that she was speechless.

This was the most emotionless "proposal" she had ever heard, but it didn't matter, her life was saved!
Congratulations to this cannon fodder, there is hope for your life!

"Then when are we going to get the marriage certificate?" Lu Youyou almost blurted out.

Gu Qingye couldn't help but curl his lips. He had never seen a girl like this before. She was more shy than the shy ones and more bold than the bold ones.

"You have to file a marriage report first, and only after it's approved can you get the marriage certificate."

"Ah, I know. I was wondering how long it would take?"

Lu Youyou stabilized his character, the mission was not completed yet, he couldn't collapse.

"A week at the earliest."

It’s okay, I can barely bear it.

"So we are considered a couple?" Lu Youyou thought about it for a long time but still felt uneasy. "Brother Gu, wait for me."

The two pigtails flew back and forth like a gust of wind, and then in front of Gu Qingye there appeared a pen, some letter paper, and a brand new red book.

Lu Youyou held the book in both hands, closed her eyes, and made up her mind: "Brother Gu, can you write me a letter of guarantee? I'll use this as a cushion."

You swore an oath to Chairman Mao, so you won't go back on your word, right?

Gu Qingye was stunned for a moment, and a faint smile appeared on his usually stern face.

He stood at attention and saluted Lu Youyou.

"Comrade Lu Youyou, please rest assured. I will never break my promise!"

In the end, Gu Qingye signed the guarantee letter word for word. Lu Youyou looked at him with a smile on her face, but her happiness didn't last long. There is always a "but" after good things.

"Comrade Lu Youyou, I will be returning to the army tomorrow."

what? !

Lu Youyou froze in her tracks as she was taking the guarantee letter and swallowed hard, "Then...then...what should I do?"

"I'll write a report when I get back, and then send you a telegram after I get the report." Gu Qingye said apologetically, "But I may not be able to come to pick you up."

"It's okay, I understand. We're soldiers after all."

Lu Youyou had a smile on her face but was crying in her heart.

What else can I do? I can’t stop them from leaving!
