Chapter 8

“You saw us meeting the day before yesterday. My mother is urging me to get married. This is not the first time. I will take a vacation from the army this time just for the blind date.”

Zhou Hongyu did not hide anything and said in a gentle voice: “I also roughly know your situation. You don’t want to go to the countryside, but it’s too difficult to find a job now. Why don’t you try with me? In this way, both of our problems can be solved.”

Bai Ruanruan was stunned. For a moment, she even doubted whether there was something wrong with her hearing.

What did Zhou Hongyu just say? He said he wanted to try it with me? !

I have raped women on the street twice before and was caught both times. In order to avoid going to the police station, I kept crying.

Although everything except the name was true, Bai Runrun felt uncomfortable no matter how she thought about it.

Zhou Hongyu asked me to come out, not for accountability or education, but to give marriage a try?

Bai Ruanruan wanted to refuse, but the words were on the tip of her tongue and she couldn’t say them.

As of now, Zhou Hongyu is still her blind date candidate. If we ignore the two unpleasant meetings before, Zhou Hongyu is indeed a very suitable person.

Appearance, family situation, personality, etc.

This may be the time when you can choose the most suitable and best item.

After all, Bai Ruanruan was very satisfied with his appearance and figure at the beginning, and even tried to rape him and take him home to be her husband.

Zhou Hongyu did not rush him and drank the ice milk slowly, looking relaxed and at ease. However, only he knew that his hands on his knees had already been clenched into fists nervously.

Bai Ruanruan thought for a while, sat up straight, looked at him and asked: “I have another question, that is, you are in the army…”

Zhou Hongyu loosened his fist a little bit, pressed his wrist, and replied: “I am the head of the group. I usually have to deal with things, and most of the time I have to go on missions. When I go on a mission, it can take three to five days at the shortest, or half a month at the longest, and I can’t go home.”

“This is indeed what we have to face in this profession. The mission must be kept confidential. We cannot tell our family members. We have to set out immediately when we receive a mission, anytime and anywhere.”

After Zhou Hongyu finished speaking, he looked calmly at the girl sitting opposite him.

He felt that there was a high probability that Bai Ruanruan would agree to him.

Because she wanted to avoid going to the countryside, she had no choice but to get married. He believed that with his conditions, he was definitely the better choice for her at the moment.

Plus his military status…

For other female comrades, his military status might not be a plus.

After all, for military wives, their husbands have to go on missions from time to time. Not to mention the danger, it is common for them not to be able to go home for ten days or half a month during the mission. This has a great impact on the relationship between the couple, and it is almost the same whether they are married or not.

But for Bai Ruanruan, Zhou Hongyu felt that this was his advantage.

After all, it wasn’t a love marriage.

Bai Ruanruan lowered her head, thinking in her mind.

There is no love between the two of them, and getting married now is just a matter of mutual benefit. If Zhou Hongyu really has to go out on missions frequently and is not at home, Bai Runrun will feel very relaxed and the two of them won’t have to feel too awkward.

From this perspective, he is indeed a good marriage partner.

But there is one bad thing. Zhou Hongyu is a soldier. If he wants to divorce in the future, it may be difficult.

But it didn’t seem to matter. It was too early to think about these things now. He was often not at home anyway, and the two of them probably didn’t have much time to interact with each other, let alone whether they liked each other or not.

Bai Ruanruan had considered it for a while, and then asked, “Are there many requirements for being a military wife? If you want to be a military wife, is there anything you should pay attention to?”

The corners of Zhou Hongyu’s mouth curled up slightly, and a smile flashed across his face so quickly that Bai Ruanruan couldn’t see it clearly.

“I usually live in the military compound next to the unit. After we get married, you have to live with me.”

“Before getting married, I have to file a marriage report. The people above will do a detailed investigation on your identity, family background, etc. This is a necessary process to ensure that all your backgrounds are normal.”

“Also, marriage is a big deal, especially military marriage, which is protected by law. You can’t just divorce casually in the future.”

Zhou Hongyu thought for a moment and then said, “The country advocates frugality. Usually in the military compound, you can’t dress too flashy or wear too expensive clothes. That’s about it.”

Bai Ruanruan nodded.

These were actually similar to what she had learned, except that they were more concrete.

Bai Ruanruan then asked, “Then I can only stay in the military compound? What if I want to work?”

“Of course, if you want to work, then find an easier job. My monthly salary plus bonus is about 200 yuan. Apart from some daily expenses, I will hand over most of the money.”

Two hundred yuan a month, and you have to hand over most of it? I’m afraid such men only exist in this era.

Bai Ruanruan raised her eyebrows. She remembered that her father only made more than 80 yuan a month, which was slightly better than ordinary workers. Her mother made 60 yuan a month. The two of them made a total of 140 yuan, which was not even as much as Zhou Hongyu alone.

Oh, but, in this turbulent era, there are still many foreign enemy spies in the country. It is very dangerous for soldiers to carry out their missions. Many of them risk their lives. I guess they get a lot of bonuses and subsidies.

Zhou Hongyu took the initiative to tell us the amount of his salary and said he would hand it over, so he definitely wouldn’t lie.

If she missed such a good marriage, where could she find another one?

Bai Ruanruan didn’t say anything, but she had already made a decision in her heart.

“You can get married, but as you know, I will be going to the countryside soon, so we must get married right away and get a marriage certificate first.”

“Also, we have known each other for such a short time and have not had much communication. In order to avoid regrets in the future or things that cannot be explained, it would be best if we could get along the same way as we do now when we first got married.”

Bai Ruanruan observed Zhou Hongyu’s reaction while speaking, and then said: “Relationships are not like other things. You can’t force them. I have considered a lot of things. Let’s see how we get along in the future. If the relationship can be developed naturally, it won’t be too late for us to be real husband and wife.”

“What do you think?”

At this point, Bai Runrun realized that it seemed like she had been the one asking questions and making requests, while Zhou Hongyu hadn’t asked anything.

“good.”

Zhou Hongyu didn’t hesitate at all and nodded in agreement: “I think it’s okay. We have to respect personal wishes.”

After just half an hour of talking, Bai Ruanruan already had a partner. Looking at the man in front of her, it still seems a little unreal when she thinks about it now.

Shaking her head, Bai Ruanruan drank the remaining ice milk in the bottle in one gulp.

In fact, Bai Runrun is not particularly picky about who the object is. As long as they are acceptable on the surface and they can get the marriage certificate right away, it’s fine.

In any case, we have to resolve the issue of going to the countryside first. After all, marriage does not mean we can’t get divorced later.

It was almost twelve o’clock. Zhou Hongyu stood up and asked, “What do you want to eat for lunch? Do you want to go eat together?”

“No need.” Bai Ruanruan shook her head and said, “I need to go home and discuss it with my parents. Besides, you still need to file a marriage report before you get married. I must get the marriage certificate before I go to the countryside, so you have to get this done as soon as possible.”

“good.”

Zhou Hongyu didn’t say much until he sent Bai Ruanruan home, then he went back.

It was already twelve o’clock, Bai Gaohan and Fu Shiting were both at home, and the food was almost ready, so they invited them to eat.

Bai Ruanruan changed her shoes, washed her hands, and then helped serve the rice.

A simple meal of three dishes and a soup, while we ate the soft and white food, we talked about what happened today.

“Mom and Dad, didn’t I go to see Zhou Hongyu today? We have already discussed it. After he finishes the marriage report, we will go to get the marriage certificate.”

“puff……”

“Ahem…”
