50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 89 Preparation 1
"There's a performance up ahead, let's go check it out." I can't fall again, I need to slow down, otherwise I won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow.

"Okay, okay." Jia Jia and Nan Nan were also knocked unconscious by the fall and were looking miserable. When they heard the suggestion, they immediately applauded.

The three of them, one supporting another, slowly moved into the crowd and saw two girls performing figure skating. Both of them had elegant postures and skillful techniques, sliding on one leg on the ice without any sign of instability.

Seeing such a wonderful performance, the crowd all applauded and welcomed it.

As a result, as soon as the applause started, a large group of people fell down with "plop, plop", and Sun Zhiwei and the other three were also dragged down together. Everyone present burst into laughter.

An accident eliminated the barriers between the strangers around them. Seeing that the three of them didn't know how to skate very well, someone took the initiative to come forward and teach them.

They played happily on the skating rink until the sun was about to set before going home.

The next day, all three of them suffered from back and leg pain, which lasted for several days before subsiding.

Good times always pass quickly.

As the relationship between Tong Jiajia and Sun Zhiwei gradually heated up, in 57, the two finally decided on the date for their wedding, which was this summer vacation.

The marriage report has been submitted, and once it is approved, the marriage will be finalized.

However, a letter still needs to be written to tell Tong Jiajia's parents that they are now settled in Qindao Naval Port.

On this weekend, the family of three gathered in the small courtyard for a meal. Sun Zhiwei bought and picked vegetables, Tong Jiajia was responsible for cooking, and Sun Ailai was responsible for making trouble.

"Jia Jia, this application will be approved very quickly. Why don't you write a letter to Qindao today? Once Mom and Dad reply, the approval will be in as well, and we can get it done."

Tong Jiajia rolled her eyes: "What are you calling? We haven't decided yet, and you're calling them mom and dad. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Hey, why haven't you decided yet? It's been several years and you still haven't decided yet? The report has been filed, and you still want to go back on your word?"

"Comrade Tong Jiajia, I solemnly declare that you are my man in life and my ghost in death. Now that you are here, don't even think about leaving."

"Pfft! What a mess."

"Tell me, what if my dad doesn't agree?"

"That's impossible. For a young man as outstanding as me, meeting someone like him is a blessing from eight lifetimes. It's impossible for him to find a better son-in-law than me."

"Beautiful!"

"So, you have to be like me, have firm faith, overcome all difficulties, and conquer this huge mountain that is your father."

"What? You're already treating my dad as your enemy before you even succeed?"

"No, he's just an imaginary enemy at most. I will definitely take you away from my father-in-law." Sun Zhiwei raised one hand above his head and vowed to marry you home.

Although he spoke with determination and confidence, he was still unsure in his heart.

He has been friends with Tong Jiajia for several years, but his father-in-law and his family have never come back once, so he doesn't know what impression they have of him.

He has to pass the test of his future father-in-law and mother-in-law. He is a little panicked now. After all, he is about to kidnap their eldest daughter.

Sun Zhiwei heard that fathers-in-law were difficult to talk to, and some even treated their sons-in-law as enemies.

His future father-in-law is a soldier, so he won’t be an old-fashioned person. The more he thinks about it, the more uneasy he becomes.

Seeing Sun Zhiwei's worried look, Tong Jiajia quickly came over to comfort him: "Don't worry, my dad is very easy to talk to."

"What about our mother?"

"My mom listens to my dad." Okay, if you can handle one, you can handle the whole family.

"What are our dad's hobbies?"

"Hobbies?" Tong Jiajia was stunned. "Comrade Tong Guodong likes to smoke, drink, eat meat, and even curse. Does this count as a hobby?"

"Why, you can't think of it? Then help me recall it carefully when you have time, otherwise it will be difficult for me to prepare this gift." "No, no, I have hobbies, I have hobbies."

"Yes, what hobbies does he have? Does our dad smoke?"

"Cum." Jia Jia didn't dare to say too much.

"Okay, then I'll buy two packs of cigarettes. Does Dad drink?"

"Drink." She lowered her head.

"Oh, we're soldiers, so of course we drink. I understand. I'll buy you a few bottles of good wine, too."

"What's Dad's favorite food?"

"Meat." Tong Jiajia lowered her head even more.

"Well, everyone likes this, so it doesn't count. What else do you like to eat?"

"mutton."

"Okay, I get it. Our dad just doesn't allow prostitution or gambling in the team. Otherwise, there's nothing he doesn't like, right?"

"Haha, you're talking nonsense. How could you say that about Old Taishan?"

"Okay, I won't say anything. I'll just ask you."

The two of them were talking while cooking in the kitchen. Soon the meal was ready. Sun Zhiwei called his daughter, who was still reading in the house, out to eat.

While eating, they talked about writing letters in the evening because he was worried that his father-in-law and his wife would use work as an excuse to not attend their wedding.

This is a very normal thing that is likely to happen, because that is the style of the older generation of soldiers. When there is work to do, they focus on it until it is completed.

It is not certain whether my father-in-law, Comrade Tong Guodong, can get a vacation and come back during the summer vacation.

This depends on whether there are any special circumstances on the Bohai Sea, such as whether there is a typhoon passing through or whether there is surface combat.

But as the captain of a destroyer, Comrade Tong Guodong is usually very serious because he has to lead the troops.

If you want to lead soldiers well, it is not enough to just love them like your own sons. It is also necessary to maintain your dignity appropriately.

The next day, Tong Jiajia's letter was sent out.

The reply came a week later. Through Tong Jiajia's retelling, Sun Zhiwei already knew that his father-in-law had a training mission and could not come back during the summer vacation.

But Jia Jia's mother Wei Hongxia and brother Tong Xuebin will come back to attend their wedding.

After that comes the time of intensive preparations. The couple has to buy a lot of things for their daily life, including new bedding and the three turns and one ring.

At this time, bicycles had already begun to be produced domestically, and Fei Ge bicycles produced in Tianjin could be purchased in shopping malls for 158 yuan.

When he heard the price, he bought one for himself and Tong Jiajia without hesitation.

The price will increase soon. If you don’t buy it now, you will definitely regret it later.

In a few years, buying a car will not only require money, but also tickets, which will be a hassle.

They went to a store to look at watches, but there were no domestically made ones. Foreign watches were quite expensive, costing more than 300 yuan each.

Due to Tong Jiajia's objection, the watch was not purchased in the end. Instead, a table clock was added to the living room.

Actually, there are already domestic watches at this time, the Five Star brand, but they are not yet in mass production and can only be hand-made. The factory will have to wait until next year, so he plans to wait and buy a domestic watch directly, although it may not be very accurate.
