After coming out of Lu's house, the two of them no longer wanted to see the new house and went directly to the county town.
On the way, both of them were silent.
"Comrade Su Mo, thank you just now." Thank you for your respect for a revolutionary veteran, and thank you for allowing an old man to realize his long-cherished wish.
"You're welcome, Grandpa Lu is a respectable old man."
Aura is really a metaphysics. The first time Su Mo saw Lu Boming, she felt that he was a respectable person.
"When my grandfather was born, it was still the Qing Dynasty, and then there were all kinds of turmoil. My grandfather was also a progressive element at the time and wanted to join the revolution. But he was the only son in the family, and my great-grandfather asked me to stay behind before he could go. "
"So, my father hurriedly married my grandma. After my father was born, he only saw me once and then left home to join the revolution. For many years after that, he only came back to see me occasionally. The whole family was run by my grandma. Until My father has grown up and got married, and my father retired because of disability."
"After he retired, he was not idle. He often secretly prepared food and had it transported to the front line. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he did not ask for a position assigned by the state. Disability benefits were directly arranged by the leaders at that time."
Lu Boming receives monthly disability allowance, which was 8 yuan per month at the beginning and now is 18 yuan per month.
"I was still young at the time and asked him why he didn't become an official. He said that compared to his colleagues who had died long ago, he was very lucky to still be alive. His original intention of joining the revolution was to drive away the invaders. , now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to ask for more from the country. What’s more, at the beginning of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, there was a lot of waste waiting to be done, and positions should be left to more capable people.”
"The dedication of their generation is truly unmatched by ours. My grandma managed the whole family by herself, and she had no complaints against my grandpa. My grandpa fought for the revolution for most of his life, but turned around and left after it was accomplished. Please beg for the slightest bit. There are too many such people in their generation."
"Well, they are all admirable people. They have endured all the hardships and left the sweetness to future generations. We should not forget their efforts and work hard to live like what they want." Su Mo said.
"Yeah!" Lu Changzheng nodded vigorously.
"Comrade Su Mo, I would like to solemnly make another request, and I hope you can approve it. I will return to the army in 15 days, and I hope to form a revolutionary friendship with you before returning to the army."
"Not only because of my father's health, but also because I desperately want to start a family with you. I hope you can consider it."
Su Mo originally thought that meeting Grandpa Lu was Lu Changzheng's trick, but when she actually saw him, she knew that it was not Lu Changzheng's trick, but that the old man really wanted to see her.
Now that the family heirlooms have been inherited from others, there is nothing to be pretentious about.
"Okay." Su Mo responded.
Lu Changzheng's heart calmed down instantly, and the speed of the car increased a lot.
"Then I will ask my mother to go to the educated youth center tomorrow to propose marriage. When we get to the county town, I will call the army and apply for marriage. When the application is approved, we will get the certificate."
"When we went to the county town today, we happened to take wedding photos." Lu Changzheng made the arrangements clearly.
"Huh? I didn't dress festive enough today, wouldn't it be good for taking wedding photos?" After adapting to the speed, Su Mo felt calm.
"Then I'll take a photo today, and then take another one when I get the certificate on the day I wear something festive. My wife is so pretty, no matter what she wears, she will definitely look good when taking photos. I will take a few photos to the army and I will be so jealous of them. Boy."
Su Mo smiled. This man started to speak sweet words and even called his wife.
"You are so good at talking. How many girls have you deceived before?" Su Mo scolded.
"Daughter-in-law, you have wronged me. In all these years, I have only liked a little girl like you." After the dust settled, Lu Changzheng stopped holding on and began to return to his somewhat naughty nature, "I am in front of others. , but I couldn’t be more serious, and I’m only doing this in front of you, my wife.”
"But you weren't like this in front of me just now?"
"Hehe... Comrade Su, you haven't agreed to become my wife just now. I'm afraid I'll scare you away."
"Then you're not afraid of scaring me away now?"
Lu Changzheng whistled, "Don't be afraid, if you get on my boat, I won't let you get off again."
…
Lu Changzheng and Su Mo rode their bicycles and passed by the entrance of the commune's supply and marketing cooperative while chatting and laughing. They did not notice Lu Xiaolan's eyes nearly falling out of the window at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.
what's the situation? When did her third brother and Su Zhiqing have such a good relationship? They were also talking and laughing, and the relationship looked very unusual.
Doesn’t her third brother want to meet a female soldier from the art troupe? What's going on now?
Lu Xiaolan was so worried. Why didn't anyone come to the house to tell her what was going on?
If you don't want to see each other anymore, you should tell her in advance so that her lover can talk to the director of the Women's Federation to avoid any trouble.
Her lover Yang Jingming was the organizational officer of Hongqi Commune. It was Liu Guangying, director of the Women's Federation, who approached Yang Jingming and told her that she had a niece in the military art troupe and wanted to meet her third brother. After Yang Jingming told her, she thought that the other party's conditions were not bad, so she got involved.
Lu Xiaolan managed to stay up until noon. She didn't even eat lunch, so she got on her bicycle and rushed to the Lujiacun brigade.
When Lu Xiaolan arrived, the Lu family was having lunch. Li Yue'e heard her daughter's voice and her heart skipped a beat. Did she have a quarrel with her uncle when she came back at noon?
Lu Xiaolan rushed to the main room, poured herself a glass of cold water, drank it down, and then said: "Mom, what's going on with my third brother and Su Zhiqing? Why did I see them on the same bicycle this morning, talking and laughing? , seems to have gone to the county seat."
"Oh, they're in love."
"What? They're in love, why didn't you tell me? Didn't they make an appointment to see each other the day after tomorrow?" Lu Xiaolan was really anxious.
"I planned to go to the commune to tell you in the afternoon, but it's not too late yet."
"Oh, you are really my mother. Can this kind of thing be delayed? You should have come to me early this morning and told me that this is the end of it. This is what happened." Lu Xiaolan was really angry. Okay, what does this mean?
"What do you want me to tell Director Liu?"
Lu Boming cleared his throat and said: "Daughter-in-law Qing'an, you go with Xiaolan in the afternoon and bring snacks and two bottles of wine. This matter is indeed our fault and we need to make amends to others."
"Okay, I understand, dad." Li Yue'e responded quickly. She respected her father-in-law very much.
Fortunately, she didn't tell the other party about the matter at first, otherwise it would have been difficult to handle.
"Old girl, have you eaten?" Li Yuee asked again.
Lu Xiaolan shook her head. She was almost in a hurry. What else could she eat?
"Da Ya, go get a pair of bowls and chopsticks for your sister-in-law." Li Yue'e instructed Lu Fengqin, brother Lu's daughter, and then comforted Lu Xiaolan: "Don't be anxious. Mom will talk to her in the afternoon."
