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

Chapter 10 I am a casual person

"Son, why don't you marry Sun Pan'er? I think she's devoted to you. She graduated from high school, is pretty, and works well..."

Zhang Caifeng really couldn't stand it any longer, fearing that something weird would happen if she continued.

Besides, in her heart, Lu Youyou is not a good person. She is charming and seductive, but she can't lift anything with her hands or shoulders. Should she be married and worshipped as a Bodhisattva?

Sun Pan'er has been here for three years. Although she cannot compare to the country girls who have been working since childhood, she can still earn six or seven centimeters a day. Unlike those who are cunning and dishonest, they cannot even support themselves in a year.

Gu Shuchen didn't say anything, so Zhang Caifeng could only rack her brains to continue persuading him.

"You're going to take the exam to become a commune teacher soon. You can't cause any trouble at this critical moment."

Gu Shuchen clenched his fists and breathed heavily, but for the sake of the commune's organization, he had to endure it no matter what.

That night, Zhang Caifeng sent Sun Paner back to the Youth League Home. She didn't want to see the "jinx", so she left without entering the door.

However, none of these affected Sun Paner's good mood. She walked into the house with a smile on her face, sneezing while laughing.

Everyone gathered around and started asking about the situation. Sun Paner spoke, and although her tone was nasal, her smile remained.

"Comrade Gu Shuchen and I are getting engaged, and we'll treat everyone to a wedding banquet!"

Lu Youyou stuffed a vitamin tablet into her mouth, put a piece of ginger candy in her mouth, and sat in the place farthest away from the pathogens.

Some people caught a cold but still found love, congratulations.

The next day, Lu Youyou got up and pretended to go to pick grass for pigs again. Suddenly, she heard someone calling her name.

"Comrade Lu Youyou, there's a telegram for you."

Little stars appeared in Lu Youyou's eyes. Comrade postman, you are finally here!
After going to the countryside, many educated youth received very few letters or parcels, let alone telegrams. Their desire to join in the fun made many of them go to work slower and slower.

In the 70s, a telegram was just a piece of paper that anyone could see when it was opened.

Lu Youyou got the thin piece of paper before anyone else and thanked the postman with a smile.

The young postman's face flushed red, and he found a thinner piece of paper: "This remittance slip is also yours."

Lu Youyou thanked him again, and the young man's face turned even redder. The words "Serve the People" floated in the air along with the bicycle bell.

Lu Youyou didn't expect Gu Qingye to be so considerate that he even sent the money for the train ticket.

Looking again, I found that this person wrote the telegram as a letter, and the first sentence was an apology of more than 20 words.

"Lu Zhiqing, is there an emergency at home?"

"Such a long telegram, it must be very important, right?"

"What could possibly happen? Even if there is something wrong, I won't send the money."

Lu Youyou was kept secret, and the onlookers could only make wild guesses and feel a little jealous. After all, when Lu Youyou came, she brought a lot of bags, and she was the one who had the most comfortable life among those in the Youth League Institute.

Only Sun Paner guessed the truth. With the telegram and remittance, it could only be the eldest brother of the Gu family who was a soldier.

She is the one in the entire Qiaoshan Village who most wants Lu Youyou to leave, and it would be best if she doesn't delay for even a single day.

"This must be Lu Zhiqing's girlfriend. Are they getting married soon? Congratulations!"

This was the most gentle time that Sun Pan'er spoke. In the past, this could only be heard when she was facing Gu Shuchen.

Wang Shuhui clapped her hands and called out to everyone: "Okay, don't miss work. Lu Zhiqing, if you have something to do, go ask the team leader for leave." Although Lu Youyou has never denied the rumors in the village, seeing this scene with their own eyes undoubtedly had a huge impact on the people at the educated youth site.

Those of the first few batches of educated youth who had connections returned to the city, and those who had no connections but couldn't make it got married. No one really wanted to stay in the countryside for the rest of their lives, but there was no way because life was too hard.

Some people don't believe in fate and survive year after year, while there are also people like Sun Pan'er who set their eyes on a "hot commodity" and refuse to let go.

But for someone like Lu Youyou, who found a military officer partner just one month after going to the countryside, and was able to join the army after getting married, even the most determined person would feel jealous.

With so many people discussing it, the news soon spread, and Lu Zhiqing, who had just been overshadowed by Sun Paner, once again topped the gossip list in Qiaoshan Village.

In the brigade headquarters, Father Gu was smoking a pipe and looking at the application form in front of him in silence.

This was the first time Lu Youyou had been alone with him since coming here.

Although the people jumping around on the stage were Zhang Caifeng and Gu Shuchen, it was impossible for Gu's father not to know what the mother and son were doing, which shows that he is also a black-hearted jackal.

The fact that he could serve as the captain of Qiaoshan Village for so many years only meant that he was too good at pretending. Perhaps it was also because the villagers were optimistic about the Gu family having a promising young officer. Unfortunately, this family was too crooked.

"Captain, Brother Gu's marriage application has been approved. Could you please sign and stamp the application? I'll go to the commune this afternoon to handle the paperwork. Oh, and I'd also like you to issue a letter of introduction."

Lu Youyou acted in a businesslike manner. Both sides knew what was going on, and maintaining superficial peace was the last bit of decency.

The captain narrowed his eyes and took another puff of his cigarette, his wrinkled face full of embarrassment.

"Lu Zhiqing, the documents haven't been sent to me yet. It might be difficult to get a letter of introduction. Why don't you ask what paperwork is required and come back when you have everything?"

It turns out that the old guy was waiting here. Even if his plan failed, he still wanted to make things difficult for her?

It would have been fine if she had just stayed hidden while there was no news from Gu Qingye, but now that the procedural problem has been solved, why would Lu Youyou be afraid?
"I thought Gu Shuchen really wanted me to leave quickly, why is your family so divided?"

The captain's eyebrows jumped: "How can you say that? What does this have to do with Shuchen?"

Lu Youyou didn't beat around the bush: "I'm a casual person and I like to talk nonsense. What if one day I'm unhappy and accidentally reveal some of Gu Shuchen's secrets..."

The captain's old face froze for a moment. The old woman told him that the little girl knew nothing, so how could...

"Xiaolu Zhiqing, you're joking. What secrets could a scholar have?"

"So, Gu Shuchen went to the county hospital..."

"okay!"

Lu Youyou smiled. It was okay to be interrupted. She felt dirty if she mentioned the scumbag's name a few more times.

"Xiaolu is a cultured person. He must have heard the saying that a harmonious family brings prosperity, right?"

It is said that a necessary skill for being an official is to be thick-skinned, and even a small official like the team leader is one of the best.

When needed, Gu Qingye is a family member, so as a daughter-in-law, she naturally has to treat her family well. When not needed, the eldest son is a treasury of rice that can be withdrawn at any time, and a remittance slip that can benefit the family after his death.

Lu Youyou felt a little disgusted, but seeing her scumbag father reluctantly signing and stamping the document, she decided to endure it for five minutes and save her revenge for after she left the house.

After leaving the brigade headquarters, Lu Youyou went straight to the branch secretary's house.

The daughter of the branch secretary graduated from high school this year. She has good grades and a good personality.

The position of commune teacher is suitable for such positive and promising young people. As for the scumbag, he should stay where he wants.
