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

Chapter 7 Do you have to get married?
The first day my fiancé left, I missed him.

She had no choice but to think about it. Without a sense of security, Lu Youyou felt that there was danger everywhere.

Her job is still to collect grass for pigs, but she doesn't know how long she can continue this lazy work. Gu Shuchen's father is the team leader, so it is easy for him to make things difficult for an educated youth who went to the countryside.

However, when she was picking grass for pigs on the second day and the third day, the team leader treated her as if she were a transparent person. Apart from showing up for work, he didn't say a word.

Thinking of Gu Qingye's words "Don't worry" before leaving, Lu Youyou smiled. She didn't expect that this person was so considerate.

The sun in June is not very strong, but how could Lu Youyou possibly get sunburned? Although picking grass for pigs is not tiring, it hurts his hands!
Where there is demand, there is a market. Lu Youyou held a handful of fruit candies in her left hand and a handful of White Rabbit candies in her right hand, and her young "colleagues" rushed to help.

Picking grass for pigs has always been a job for children. At first, they didn’t dare to get close to Lu Youyou when they saw him, but no child could resist the attack of a sugar-coated bullet.

"Erwa, you run so fast! You're truly a model worker of the Red Flag Commune!"

"Gangdan, you are so capable. You will definitely be a pillar of our country in the future!"

"Niuniu, I admire you so much. It makes me feel at ease to have you around!"

Amidst the endless stream of flattery, the young colleagues lost themselves.

For a rural child who grew up under corporal punishment, this incredibly beautiful educated youth sister was like a fairy from heaven.

In this way, Lu Youyou spent seven days peacefully. When the telegram was due, the postman on the road at the entrance of the village never came once.

A military region in the south

Gu Qingye in the army had returned to his unapproachable self. He had just finished a training march and went straight to the regiment commander's office as soon as he came back.

Jiang Tong saw that Gu Qingye hadn't even changed his clothes, and he knew why he came.

"I'm back. Sit down first. How was the training?"

Gu Qingye stood at attention and saluted: "Report, everything is normal."

Even when sitting, his back is straight.

Jiang Tong was happy when he looked at this proud subordinate whom he had promoted, but now this happiness was overshadowed.

"Leader, have you approved my marriage report?"

Jiang Tong sighed inwardly. Although Gu Qingye's voice was steady and no emotion could be heard, he could tell what he was expecting just by looking at his eyes.

"Qingye, getting married is a big deal. Arranged marriages are no longer popular these days. If you're not satisfied with your family's arrangements, you can definitely ask for it. There's no need to rush."

To be honest, Jiang Tong was quite surprised when he received the news of Gu Qingye's marriage.

The marriage problems of his subordinates have always been a concern for him. At the age of 24, he doesn’t even have a partner. The instability in the rear is not conducive to fighting on the front line.

In the health center, the art troupe, and the various nieces and sisters-in-law from her mother's family and the family compound, countless people were trying to show their goodwill, either openly or covertly, but Gu Qingye seemed not to understand.

Every time I asked him about it, he would only say one thing: first build a career and then start a family.

Who would have thought that Gu Qingye would have a girlfriend after just one trip home, and he filed a marriage report as soon as he returned to the team. It shows how anxious he was.

At first, Jiang Tong didn't care. After all, the educated youth were good comrades who supported the country's construction. They were educated and cultured, and they were a good match for Gu Qingye.

Who knew that after the political review, we would find out how tricky his identity was.

Lu Youyou's father is a professor who returned from studying abroad, and her mother is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Now both of them have been sent down to a farm in the northwest.

The situation is not clear now and no one knows what will happen in the future.

Although the situation in the army is not as bad as outside, such an identity still has a bad influence.

Jiang Tong wondered if Gu Qingye's family had good intentions but ended up doing something bad, as they were not aware of the girl's family background.

"Leader, Comrade Lu Youyou and I entered into a marriage voluntarily. No one forced us."

Gu Qingye was determined not to back down because of anything.

Jiang Tong was even more anxious now: "Do you know her background? Do you know that your meritorious service this time can..."

Gu Qingye stood up suddenly, raised his hand and saluted, his determined eyes showing his attitude. "It is my honor and responsibility to wear military uniform and defend my country. I am willing to sacrifice my life for it, but my future does not need to be traded for marriage."

Jiang Tong admired his persistence very much, but he was still disappointed with him. Why didn't he know how to adapt?

Why didn’t I know before that he was such a lovesick person that he fell so deeply in love after only two days back?

Jiang Tong opened the drawer and took out Gu Qingye's marriage report. It was still the same as when he submitted it.

He sighed deeply, "Do you think I didn't approve? My superiors asked me to talk to you. You know how much they value you!"

Gu Qingye didn't change his original intention: "Then I will tell the leader myself."

Jiang Tong's eyelids twitched, realizing that everything he had said just now was in vain.

He slammed the marriage report on the table and glared at Gu Qingye: "Then go ahead. As long as the leader agrees, I will sign and stamp it now."

Gu Qingye picked up the report and left.

"Come back!" Jiang Tong was furious. This guy was born stubborn. "Just because I told you to go, you went?"

"All actions are subject to command."

"Hey, why didn't you listen just now?"

Gu Qingye remained silent, but his fingers holding the report did not move.

Jiang Tong looked at him for a long while, and finally sighed helplessly: "Do you really have to get married?"

"Yes!"

"You accept whatever the outcome?"

"Yes!"

"Even if I can't be promoted to deputy regiment?"

"Yes!"

Oh, it really is...

Jiang Tong knew the result would be like this. If Gu Qingye had not been so determined, he would not be the youngest battalion commander in the military region.

Decisive, brave, unwavering, and determined, he will never give up until he achieves his goal. As happy as Gu Qingye's strengths are to others, they also give him a headache now.

"Okay, I'll go talk to the boss, you go back and wait for news!"

Jiang Tong didn't want to see the culprit who upset him again, so he waved his hand and told Gu Qingye to leave quickly.

"Yes!"

Gu Qingye raised his hand and saluted, with a barely perceptible smile at the corner of his eyes.
-
Lu Youyou didn't know that her plan to join the army would be so full of twists and turns.

At first, she thought that Gu Qingye had so many things to do and might have a temporary task.

After a few more days, she could only take out her treasured letter of guarantee and study it word by word, even paying attention to the punctuation marks.

The stroke wasn't strong enough. Was he feeling guilty at the time?

The period is not closed. Does he have a backup plan?

Is the Little Red Book useless?
I know idealism won’t work!

What about the slow transportation, long distances for correspondence, and only enough time to love one person in a lifetime? It's all bullshit. In an era when long-distance calls require transfers, even time management gurus don't have time management tools!
Lu Youyou didn’t know what was going on in her mind, but she was annoyed, very annoyed.

The young lady wanted to get angry, but someone really got in her way.

When Lu Youyou saw Gu Shuchen, she became more energetic.

This is a real scumbag. Don't be afraid of hurting innocent people when criticizing him.
