After coming back to her senses, Hao Dongmei immediately rejected the proposal to take photos. Although she was a little moved, she and Zhou Bingyi were just in a relationship now.
The two of them were not engaged, nor had they received a certificate. They were taking a family photo, so why did she go along with them?
At this moment, the most embarrassing person is Zhou Bingyi. On one side is his father and on the other is his partner. He is caught in the middle, and nothing seems right no matter what he does.
Although he also wanted to take Dongmei with him, it was best to take this opportunity to establish a relationship with Dongmei.
But now is not the right time.
Marriage depends on the orders of the parents and the matchmaker said that Dongmei's parents are now sent to another place. Let alone meeting each other, even communicating is not easy.
I heard from Dongmei that the letters between her and her parents would be opened and checked without exception, and the wording had to be paid attention to.
It's better to do it once or twice. It's like this every time. No one knows whether I accidentally used the wrong word.
As time went by, neither she nor her parents wrote letters very often. They wrote at most once a month to report that they were safe.
Because of this, Zhou Bingyi did not dare to rush to confirm the marriage relationship with Dongmei.
When you mention marriage at this time, you will inevitably be suspected of taking advantage of others.
Love should be pure.
The union between them should be pure. At least they have to meet Dongmei's parents, right?
If we just get married directly, it will not be formal enough or solemn enough.
On the other side, seeing Hao Dongmei rejecting the proposal, Zhou Zhigang didn't know how to answer the question.
Being drunk, your brain is indeed a bit sluggish, this is one of them.
Secondly, he also knows that he said something wrong, but he is the head of the family, how can he take the initiative to admit his mistake in front of his juniors?
"Sister Dongmei, just go with me."
At this time, Li Jie spoke at the right time, and as soon as he spoke, Zhou Zhigang got out of his embarrassment.
I saw him silent, eating dumplings and drinking wine, one sip of wine and one dumpling.
Hao Dongmei glanced at Li Jie and said nothing, just smiled awkwardly.
Zhou Bingyi on the side was not so polite and directly glared at his brother.
‘Bingkun’ isn’t this causing trouble!
Li Jie smiled innocently and ignored Zhou Bingyi's wink.
What was Hao Dongmei thinking, and what was Zhou Bingyi worried about? He was like a mirror in his mind.
At the same time, he also knew that saying this would make the atmosphere awkward.
But he still spoke.
A moment of embarrassment is better than a waste of youth.
Of all the people doing it, no one but him knew how long the movement would last.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, this time it will be like before, a gust of wind will blow by, and things will soon be rectified.
However, the power of inertia is terrible. The general trend has been formed. It is not easy to stop in time.
It is difficult to turn the ship around, especially when some crew members and the helmsman are not of the same mind.
The storm will continue.
Li Jie felt that there was nothing wrong with Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei taking this opportunity to settle their names.
To prevent those incidents from happening again in the future.
Now it's not too much, not too little, just right.
Not long after Hao Dongmei's parents were decentralized, her thinking had not completely changed, and she did not realize how difficult the future would be.
Now she will not hesitate because of low self-esteem like she will in a few years.
In the same way, the same is true for Zhou Bingyi.
Now that the two of them have established their identity, he no longer has to go through those difficult choices.
In the original play, a nobleman took a fancy to Zhou Bingyi, who was in the corps, and planned to transfer him to the military region as deputy director.
It's just a special era, and there are special criteria for promotion.
Zhou Bingyi is the son of a worker, with a good background and a good background. There is absolutely no problem with his composition, but there is another article in the regulations that social relations must be pure.
At that time, Hao Dongmei's parents had not yet been rehabilitated. Although Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei were not officially married, their relationship was well known.
On the one hand, there is a bright future, and on the other hand, we are partners who share weal and woe.
No matter which one you give up, it is an extremely difficult decision.
If Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei confirm their relationship now, he won't have to worry about it in the future.
As for whether rashly intervening in the trajectory of the two will lead to changes in the future.
Regarding this, Li Jie is not worried at all.
His presence is a guarantee.
Even if Hao Dongmei's parents are not rehabilitated in the future, he will find ways to help Zhou Bingyi and his wife.
After all, you can't write two characters for "week" in one stroke.
"Bingkun, stop making trouble!"
On the other end, seeing that his brother wanted to say more, Zhou Bingyi quickly glared at his brother again and said angrily.
"Brother, I'm not making trouble."
Li Jie deliberately pretended not to hear the voice-over and said to himself.
"Look, you and Sister Dongmei are lovers, right?"
"You two both love each other and identify with each other."
"What's the saying in the Book of Songs?"
As he spoke, Li Jie looked thoughtful, then patted his head.
"By the way, the bond between life and death is broad, tell me, hold your hand, and grow old together with you."
"This sentence is perfect for you, right?"
As Li Jie spoke, he stared at his little eyes and said with a smile.
"You want me to watch. Let's finish things first. Everyone happens to be here, so we drank the wedding wine as well."
"Nonsense!"
Suddenly, Zhou Zhigang slammed the table.
At first, he thought that his younger son was right. He was very satisfied with Dongmei. If she was willing to marry into their Zhou family, he would be willing to do so.
But as he listened, he found that his younger son's words were getting more and more outrageous, and he even directly talked about drinking wedding wine.
Dongmei’s parents are not around, so it’s so straightforward to make a decision. What’s the point?
If word spreads, what will others think of their home?
"Bingkun, shut up."
On the other hand, Li Suhua also felt that her son was a bit too much.
Although her education is not high, she is a woman and she knows what marriage means to a woman.
Dongmei is alone now, so if she just settles down like this, isn't she bullying others?
"Dad, Mom, what did I say wrong?"
Li Jie explained with an aggrieved look on his face: "What I mean is to let the eldest brother and Sister Dongmei decide on the name first."
"The wedding wine is the engagement wine."
"When Sister Dongmei's parents are rehabilitated, the two families will meet together and then have a formal wedding banquet."
As soon as these words came out, Li Suhua was the first to fall silent. She thought that if it was just an engagement, there would be nothing wrong with it.
After all, engagement is not marriage. The eldest son and Dongmei have also reached the stage of discussing marriage, but due to Dongmei's parents, the two have been delaying it.
At the same time, Zhou Zhigang lost the momentum he had just now.
'got engaged?'
'It doesn't seem impossible.'
On the other side, taking advantage of the silence, Zhou Bingyi secretly glanced at Hao Dongmei beside him. He wanted to see how Dongmei would react when she heard this.
What a coincidence, Hao Dongmei also wanted to see his reaction.
The two people's eyes met in the air, and then they looked away in perfect agreement.
However, even though they just glanced at each other, both of them understood each other's thoughts.
There is no doubt that they have identified each other for life!
