Su Qinghe didn't tell Gu Changan that the marriage application was finished, but he wanted him to recuperate obediently. Save money and run around irresistibly.
Finding such a soldier as his partner, Su Qinghe felt happy and painful.
Don't talk to Chang'an for the time being, anyway, I still need to inform the family. It was too late to write a letter, so Su Qinghe simply went to the post office and called home.
It's too far away, and it takes several transfers to make such a call.
First, I called the commune, but the transfer failed. Su Qinghe called the county again.
Instead, it was transferred to the county post office. Su Qinghe asked someone to bring a letter to the old Gu's family, saying that she was going to marry Chang'an. The date is set on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The house and the wedding are all allocated here, so the family doesn't have to worry about it.
After all, Secretary Gu is the secretary of the county. After the person at the post office answered the phone, he immediately called the county party committee office.
At noon, the old Gu's family ate at the work unit, even Gu Lin and Gu Lei also ate at the work unit cafeteria with their parents.
Ever since Su Qinghe left the county, Gu Ma felt uneasy. In addition, I am also looking for a job with the Women's Federation now, so I don't want to care about other things at all, so I simply asked Gu Changzheng and Gu Changping to transfer the food relationship to their respective units. That's why the old Gu's family heard the news from Secretary Gu at night.
When Gu Ma heard that her son and daughter-in-law were going to get married outside, she burst into tears of distress.
She managed the marriage of the two eldest sons, not to mention how well it was done, but she had everything that should be there. I live in a good house at home. Two tables of wine were also invited. How could it be Chang'an and Qing Miao'er's turn to be so wronged.
"Woooooo, our Chang'an and Qingmiao'er are really miserable. We have never had a good life. They can't eat every bite of delicious food at home... My Chang'an and Qingmiao'er—"
The family didn't dare to say anything.
The old couple is quite pitiful.
The third child was taken out by them, and the third wife's daughter-in-law went after the third child. So in the end, I came to the conclusion that this is what they messed up.
Secretary Gu said, "Okay, it's not very far away, isn't there still a few days left, when the time comes, take a car to have a look."
Gu Ma immediately got up and went into the house.
Secretary Gu said with a headache, "What are you doing?"
Gu Ma wiped her tears, "I'm going to pack my things. Our Chang'an and Qing Miao'er are so pitiful. I have to bring them some good things."
Then pointing at the eldest and second child, "Your brothers are getting married, you should understand it yourself. Just such a brother!"
Then turned around and entered the house.
Gu Changzheng and Gu Changping remained silent. At this time, it's still what mom says, don't make mom angry.
Early the next morning, the living room of Lao Gu's house was full of things. Shazi fabric bed sheet duvet cover. As for the hot water pot, Gu Ma wished to move everything that could be moved to Su Qinghe and the others.
Secretary Gu's face darkened. Take it all the way, it's a joke. Besides, Qinghe called and said that everything was divided over there. These old ones are useless.
Of course, he knew very well that it was not allowed to say this, "It won't fit in the car, and it will be sent in a few years."
Gu Ma reluctantly packed her things. It was only halfway through packing that I realized that I had to notify my in-laws. Immediately, the eldest son Gu Chang was riding a bicycle to send him to the commune.
"Let Changzheng go. You are not afraid of the cold when you go all the way." Secretary Gu frowned.
Gu Ma surrounded herself tightly, "What are you afraid of? This is a big event for our Qingmiaoer and Chang'an to get married. I have to discuss with my in-laws about what to do. What can Chang Zheng say?"
Seeing Gu's mother sitting on the back of the bicycle and leaving, Gu Changzheng went back to the office with a depressed face. He understood. Regardless of whether the third child is at home or not, he, the father, always leans back.
Gu Ma braved the cold wind all the way to the commune. After knowing that the commune was on holiday, she immediately went to Lao Su's house again.
At this time, the main room of the Gao family on the old Su's side was full of people again.
The stove inside was burning vigorously, and there were so many people, it was quite warm.
Gao Xiulan sat by the stove and talked to everyone. "Comrades, we women not only need to learn culture, but also have to unite. Unite with all the elderly, women and children. You have to understand the difficulties of our Women's Federation. We can't take care of so many things. I am an old man, I can't I will go to your house even if you fart."
The women are in a hurry, what should I do? How can Director Gao ignore them
"Officer Gao, this is not going to work. If you don't care about us, we won't be able to live."
"Yeah, if you don't care about it, we'll still have to suffer."
Gao Xiulan said with a straight face, "I haven't finished talking yet. We women have to unite. It's like the last time Er Gouzi's wife was beaten by Er Gouzi. Those who live nearby quickly go to help Er Gouzi's wife Isn’t it? If something happens to someone in the future, Er Gouzi’s wife can also help others. Don’t just sweep a piece of snow in front of your own house one by one. Men know how powerful they are, so they dare to do it again?”
The beaten Er Gouzi's daughter-in-law nodded movedly. "If it weren't for the high-ranking officer this time, I really don't know how to live. We women have a hard life. We are good at everything, but we will suffer when we get into trouble. It is because we women are weak."
Gao Xiulan said, "So in the future, if someone has an accident, those who are close should hurry to help. Shout out in the team. Let the men in the team know how powerful our woman is." The main reason is that she doesn't have the energy to take care of these family fights now. It's a mess. Now the Women's Federation arranges for lesbians to learn cultural skills, saying that they will try to send them to the cities to work as workers in the future. She brought up this matter, and Director Wang entrusted her to handle it.
Such a big event, if it is done, it will save face. It must be done well.
When Gu Ma came to Lao Su's house, she saw a group of women coming out of the Su's house, leaving and saying goodbye to Gao Xiulan.
Looking at this scene, Gu Ma was envious.
They are all women, and my mother-in-law has done really well in the Women's Federation, and she is so prestigious. Unlike her, those women who came to cry, as long as they got in touch with her, they would not come to the Women's Federation. This made her feel ashamed to go to the Women's Federation again, because the Women's Federation looked at Lao Gu's face and invited her home again, so she went.
When the women were out of the yard, Gao Xiulan watched her mother-in-law come. Immediately greeted the past with enthusiasm.
"Oh, my mother-in-law is here, why didn't you come in earlier. Look at how cold it is standing outside in this cold weather. Come, come, let me warm your hands." As he spoke, he grabbed Gu Ma's hand and put it on his inside the sleeves.
Gu Ma's face was touched, "It's neither cold nor cold, and I just arrived."
Gu Changzheng was pushing the cart and followed them into the yard.
After entering the room, Gao Xiulan made brown sugar water for the two of them.
Seeing that the room was empty, Gu Ma said, "Why are you at home alone?"
Gao Xiulan sighed, "Oh, everyone said that after marrying a daughter-in-law and forgetting her mother, they all went back to her mother-in-law's house. They said that there was no time all year round, so they dragged the family to stay for a few days." How could she let the family The idlers are waiting to occupy a place at home, and they go wherever they need to go.
Gu Ma felt sorry for Gao Xiulan. She can feel the feeling of her own mother. The sons are so unfilial! As far as Qingmiaoer and Chang'an are concerned. They were also chased away.
Just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable.
"Mother-in-law, let me tell you something very good. Our Qing Miaoer and Chang'an are getting married."
Gao Xiulan was drinking hot tea, when she heard this, she almost choked. Hastily cupped and looked at Gu Ma, "When did you say it, I haven't heard the news."
Gu Ma immediately explained, "I called back yesterday, Qing Miao'er. I didn't get through to the commune. It's not easy to get through this call."
After finishing speaking, she wiped her tears, "It's been hard for these two children. Qing Miaoer said that Shan has divided the house, so we don't have to worry about it, but how can I not worry about it, it's all my heart."
Gao Xiulan is also quite unlucky, her precious daughter is married, and she is not by her mother's side. Not from home either. Ouch, if I had known, I would not have gone to this university.
She sighed, "I know what Qing Miao'er is thinking, and she is heading for Chang'an."
Gu's mother cried even harder, "Mother-in-law, our old Gu's family is sorry for you. I'm sorry for Qing Miao'er. Don't worry, I'm ready. Let's go to see their wedding together and see where they live. Send something."
When Gao Xiulan heard this, she immediately became excited. He was a little nervous again, "I've never been to a faraway place."
The farthest place she went was the county seat.
Gu Ma said, "I've never been out." The furthest place she's been to is the provincial capital.
Then both of them looked at Gu Changzheng.
Gu Changzheng: "... I have been there."
Su Qinghe didn't know what was coming at home. After all, in this era, many people do this. They hold weddings in their work units when their parents are not around. Some even don't need to do the wedding, get a certificate, and live together with their own clothes. Make a home.
A house with unit benefits like hers, as well as various materials, is already considered very good.
Taking advantage of the two days when Gu Changan was recuperating, Su Qinghe went to the hospital's logistics side to arrange all the family's belongings. Time is running out. Too many things to buy. The wardrobe was given by Dr. Chu. The bed was given by Director Zhou. A dining table was borrowed from the cafeteria.
Although it was very simple, Su Qinghe felt a sense of stability.
This is truly her home.
When Su Qinghe and his colleagues in the hospital were cleaning up the house together, Company Commander Ge had just brought a few soldiers under him to see Gu Changan.
After the captives were handed over this time, they had already made a collective contribution to the seventh squad. Gu Changan also made a personal contribution.
The higher-ups are already negotiating with the other party about this matter, but Gu Changan's reward has still been applied for.
"Everything is divided. The house can be arranged at any time."
Company Commander Ge said happily, "When are you going to do this? I'll tell you, that partner in your family is really nothing to talk about. Tell me you can find such a good partner just like you." .You hurry up to marry and go home. Don’t let other wolf dogs take it away.”
Gu Chang'an twisted his mouth, "Our family's Qing Miaoer said that as long as I recover from my injury, it will be done on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month."
"Isn't it only two days? Is it too late? Oh, why didn't you say it earlier?!" Company Commander Ge said angrily.
Gu Chang'an said, "Who am I talking to while lying here?" Then he looked proud, "Our Qingmiaoer Hospital has also divided the house, two smaller ones. The army's house is no longer needed, and our Qingmiaoer also said that the hospital will Give us a wedding. Let me not worry about anything. Take good care of your wounds. Our Qing Miao will not be taken away by other wolf dogs!" Qing Miao is so, so, so good to him!
Company Commander Ge and the other platoon leaders all looked at Gu Changan. The hospital welfare policy is also very good. Gu Changan's daughter-in-law is capable.
Company Commander Ge slapped the table, "Damn, why didn't you tell me sooner? If I told you earlier, I could still go to the army. How can the soldiers of our army use women's things. It's too embarrassing. You wait for me. Go back and fight for you. Among other things, we will give you two more beds with quilts. No matter what we do, we can’t be much worse than the hospital.”
Then he turned and left.
The platoon leaders and squad leaders all followed out.
Gu Changan thought for a while, why is it shameful to use women's things? He used something from Qingmiaoer's family. Qing Miaoer treats him well.
One day before the wedding, Company Commander Ge took a few soldiers and moved things into the hospital in front of the hospital. Then ask Su Qinghe where the house is divided.
Su Qinghe was shocked when he saw a group of soldiers moving a pile of things.
"What are you doing?"
Ge Lianchang said, "This is the marriage subsidy given to Comrade Chang'an by the army. We have all moved here." Now he came back to save face for Gu Chang'an.
Su Qinghe didn't think too much, and hurried to open the door.
The others watched these people follow Su Qinghe, and they all looked dumbfounded.
What are the troops doing at this time? It's the same as giving a dowry to a girl.
Company Commander Ge and the others made this trip, and a pile of things immediately piled up in the empty home.
The hospital heard that the troops distributed so many things. Director Zhou immediately went to the dean to discuss whether to add some. There are so many people in the army, and so many things are distributed to them. There are only so many doctors in our hospital. In particular, there is only one female doctor who is married. This is the same as the family where the only daughter of the family is married to a group of brothers. The dowry that other people's family took was more than their own dowry, and it was very embarrassing for the girl to marry.
Upon hearing this, Dean Xing gave Su Qinghe another set of tables. In addition, two enamel washbasins were given. A quilt.
Su Qinghe went to help the comrades in the logistics department open the door again. Looking at the busy things at home, she suddenly realized that her two-bedroom apartment was too small.
At night, Gu Chang'an was anxious all the time. Very nervous.
Seeing Su Qinghe reading a book in the hospital bed next to him, he coughed and said, "Qing Miaoer, my body is recovering. I think I can train now."
Su Qinghe said, "Oh."
"I think I can go to the battlefield to fight the enemy!"
"Um."
“…I think I can get married…”
Only then did Su Qinghe look up at him, "That's it... that's fine, let's get married tomorrow."
"I..." Gu Changan wanted to say something, but suddenly realized, and then looked at Su Qinghe with surprise, "Qing Miaoer, what are you talking about?"
Su Qinghe said with a smile, "I'll get married tomorrow."
