Chapter 325 60 Control Group Cannon Fodder 13
Zhou Xiaoxiao, who had been locked up for several months, went out to pick wild vegetables as soon as they started to emerge. At first, she picked wild onions, and then shepherd's purse, which were Zhou Xiaoxiao's favorite.
Whether it is hot pot, dumplings, or cold dishes, it is very delicious. People who haven't seen green leafy vegetables for several months can't eat enough! After that, various wild vegetables emerged one after another, such as gray-gray vegetables, dandelions, prickly ash sprouts, fern, and Chinese toon...
Just as spring came and flowers bloomed, Zhou Xiaoxiao and her fellow sisters from the same village were digging wild vegetables all over the mountains and fields, when Gu Jiaan walked into the Gu family's door carrying his luggage!
Gu Jiaan looked at his hometown after six years away, and he felt familiar yet strange. His brother and sister had already married, and he wondered if his parents had changed. He walked into the house and looked around. At this moment, no one was in the Gu family, and they were all working in the fields!
He put down his luggage and went to the fields to look for his parents and family. Along the way, he met many children, many of whom he didn't even know.
Gu Jiaan arrived at the field and asked several uncles and aunts he knew well before he found the location of his parents! From a distance, he saw his parents and brothers and sisters-in-law working hard.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" Gu Jia'an saw his parents digging and loosening the soil, and quickly took off his coat and prepared to help!
"San'er? San'er, you're back?" Gu's mother Liu Qiuhong stopped what she was doing and was about to cry when she saw her tall and strong son.
"Yes, Dad, Mom, brother, sister-in-law, I'm back to visit my family!" Gu Jiaan walked up to his mother, answered her with a smile, then took the hoe from her hand and started working!
"You must have come all the way here and it must be hard. Let your mother do it! You go back and have a rest." Liu Qiuhong wiped her tears and tried to snatch the hoe from her son's hand while crying and laughing, but Gu Jiaan dodged her.
"Mom, I'm not tired yet. Let me do the rest of the work!" Gu Jiaan smiled at his mother and went back to work.
"Mom, go back early to cook! Prepare two more dishes." Gu's father, Gu Dazhuang, was happy to see his son come back and did not stop his son from working!
"Oh, okay, okay, I'll go back now!" Liu Qiuhong walked home while wiping her tears.
"Good boy, you've grown stronger!" Gu Dazhuang patted his son on the shoulder and started working. The family began to ask each other about their recent situation while working!
This touching scene of family reunion was seen by all the villagers. In these days, having a soldier in the family is a matter of great pride and honor, especially in rural areas, where the status of the entire family in the village is like crossing a class.
Moreover, this soldier has become an official and receives allowances every month. He is more popular than a worker!
I believe that soon, Gu Jiaan's marriage will also attract the attention of the whole village. All the girls in the village have seen it, and during this period, even if they go to work in the fields, they will dress extra neatly and work extra hard.
Liu Qiuhong always walked with her head held high, because her most outstanding son had returned. Whenever someone greeted her, she would answer with great pride!
This son has always been their pride. Since his son joined the army, the Gu family's status in the village has immediately risen to a higher level. Just two years ago, his son became an officer, and the Gu family also had a certain say in the village.
Now that the son who brought them glory had returned, wasn't she happy? She went home and cooked the only white flour left in her home and slaughtered a chicken.
When Zhou Xiaoxiao was carrying wild vegetables home to cook, she also heard about Gu Jiaan's return! She raised her eyebrows. She had been waiting for nearly a year. Is the plot finally going to unfold?
She cleaned up the wild vegetables she had dug and cooked the meal. Then the Zhou family came back. At the dinner table, they inevitably talked about Gu Jiaan coming back to visit his family.
"It seems that he is not young anymore. I wonder if the Gu family will find him a wife when he comes back this time." Yang Changying said casually.
Look, even my own mother has mentioned this issue, not to mention the people in the village! The village is going to be lively next.
"What? Isn't it enough for you to worry about having two bachelors at home?" Zhou Zhisheng looked at his wife with amusement.
"Oh, that's right! My brother is going to marry a sister-in-law soon. Brother, what kind of sister-in-law do you like? What are your requirements? Dad, should we also renovate the house? Otherwise, where will we live when my brother marries his sister-in-law?" Zhou Xiaoxiao asked her brother with a smile, then turned and looked at her father again!
"Don't be in a hurry. Let's wait until they find a partner and everyone has some free time before we talk about it! We still have a lot of things to do now!" Spring plowing has just begun, and there are still a lot of things to do!
"That's right!" Zhou Xiaoxiao also knew that Zhou Zhisheng didn't have time, and he had postponed the matter of raising rabbits until after the spring plowing!
The reproduction speed of rabbits is simply amazing. The original four rabbits now have more than 30 rabbits. Before the spring ploughing, Zhou Zhisheng slaughtered two of them for meat!
In the next few days, just as everyone had guessed, everyone was concerned about Gu Jiaan's marriage and asked what kind of wife they wanted to find!
A soldier, and an official soldier at that, with a monthly salary, filial to his parents, and handsome. With all these conditions, wouldn't he be the best son-in-law in the eyes of all families with daughters to marry?
There are also some people who are introducing their own daughters or nieces to Gu’s parents...
Although Gu's parents were happy that their son was so outstanding that hundreds of girls wanted to marry him, they were also a little troubled by the large number of people asking. When Gu Jia'an came back from working in the fields, the girls in the village looked at him curiously, and some of the bolder ones even recommended themselves!
Gu Jiaan didn't think he was outstanding in the army! There were many female family members or single nurses in the army, but no one looked up to him.
Those who can become military dependents are generally from military officers' families. Even if they are nurses, their families have connections. The conditions in all aspects are quite good, and there are jobs and a wide range of choices, so they have high standards!
The people they like are either high-ranking officials, or those with very good family backgrounds, or those who are particularly good-looking. The military camp lacks everything except men.
Anyway, they were not very fond of these country soldiers. Even if he became an officer, it would only make them treat him better! But they were unwilling to find a partner like him!
It's not that no one introduced them, but they were either very ordinary and unremarkable, or those exclusive country nieces and nephews!
They didn't want to marry a bad wife. They finally became officers, so how could they marry a wife who was not satisfactory in every aspect? If they found a country girl, they could still pick the best one when they got home!
Moreover, these people know each other well. If you choose them, they may even be grateful to you!
Sure enough, after returning, he was treated well by his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, and other family members, respected by the villagers, and even had girls compete to confess their love to him. This kind of superiority cannot be enjoyed in the military camp!
As time went by, he felt that he was better than others. He always thought that even if he found a partner in the village, he had to pick the best-looking, most outstanding one whom he liked the most.
The family members were also getting impatient from the villagers' questions. After discussing with their son, they told him that he wanted to find a woman who was of equal status or had a job, and asked the villagers to calm down first, and then they could choose after asking around with him.
Anyway, his family's conditions and background are better than those of the villagers, so he doesn't have to worry about others not agreeing.
Next, he began to ask his parents indirectly, who are the girls in the village with the best conditions, good looks and good personalities?
Her parents also felt that their son would be a good match for anyone in this village. They were not very willing to choose a daughter-in-law in this village, and they wanted to find someone who had a job, so that she would be a good match for their son!
But they had no connections, and working girls in the city might not be willing to marry in the countryside. Their son's visit was not very long, so there was no time for them to ask around, so they reluctantly mentioned a few of the best candidates in the village.
The daughters of village cadres, Lan Xuejing and Zhou Xiaoxiao, were fortunately on their list of candidates for daughters-in-law, as well as the only daughter of a village accountant and a girl who was the darling of a very good family.
Gu's parents explained the personalities, looks, heights, weights, and advantages and disadvantages of marrying these girls. Just like in their previous lives, the low-key Zhou Xiaoxiao was not their first choice.
They had picked Lan Xuejing first. Now that they had chosen the candidate, they began to ask trustworthy people to help with the matchmaking. If both parties were interested, they would pick a time to meet each other!
Lan Xuejing also received news that a matchmaker was introducing her to someone new, and the person being introduced was the most talked-about person in the village recently!
She was instantly delighted when she heard this. The public's eyes were sharp. She was indeed better than Zhou Xiaoxiao! Otherwise, why would the officer propose marriage to her family instead of Zhou Xiaoxiao's?
If they got together, she would be married to the best person in the village and a future military officer's wife! At that time, Zhou Xiaoxiao, a village girl, would not be able to compare with her. She would definitely trample Zhou Xiaoxiao under her feet.
Ever since the last pig-killing event, Lan Xuejing, who felt she had lost, avoided any occasions where Zhou Xiaoxiao was. Since then, she swore that she would live a better life than Zhou Xiaoxiao in the future! And now she finally won back a game, how could she not be happy?
On the day of the blind date, she must dress her best and behave herself to the best of her ability. She must win over the officer and try to get the marriage done right away!
