Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

"Comrade Zhao..."

"Comrade Zhao..."

In the clean and tidy courtyard, the two parents were chatting animatedly, while the two young people were arranged to go to the kitchen to help watch the fire.

After a long silence, the two couldn't help but speak in unison. Only then did they realize that they had the same surname, and it was somewhat strange to address each other like that.

"Comrade Zhao Gang, if you don't mind, you can just call me Xinfang. That's what my parents call me."

"I have admired soldiers since I was a child. If my parents hadn't been reluctant to let me go, I would have wanted to join the army!"

Zhao Xinfang's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were full of admiration. She was obviously a young girl in love. Zhao Gang, who had little contact with lesbians, looked away uncomfortably. He opened and closed his mouth for a long time, and was too embarrassed to call the lesbian's name.

"Brother Zhao Gang, I heard that you are serving in the army on an island! Is the island fun? I have always longed for the endless sea described in the books. I heard that Brother Zhao Gang's rank is such that his family can accompany him in the army. If we can really make it, can you take me with you?"

Seeing the shy look of the man in front of her, Zhao Xinfang was full of disgust. She laughed at the man in her heart, saying that he was another superficial man who only cared about looks and was attracted by her appearance!

If it weren't for the fact that her original body's parents had invited a shaman to adopt her about a month ago, she would not have pretended to be as well-behaved and sensible as her original body.

She was fed up with pretending to be sensible and helping with farm work for the past month. She came to this world not to continue digging for food in the fields, but to save the male protagonist.

Therefore, in order to see Tang Ping again, she pretended in front of her parents that she fell in love with the male educated youth at the educated youth site. After all, she had heard her parents say at home that none of the educated youth from the city could work, and they must not let her marry one.

Zhao's parents were fooled. In order to prevent her from getting close to the male educated youth, her parents started to arrange her marriage.

Just when her parents and the matchmaker were discussing the man's conditions, Zhao Xinfang ran out of the house and said that she only wanted to marry a soldier. She admired soldiers, she could be a military wife, and she was not afraid of hardship.

Compared to marrying an educated youth, marrying a soldier is obviously much more reliable, so Zhao's parents did not object.

She has met quite a few soldiers during this period, and some of them are on the island like Tang Ping, but none of them meet the requirements to join the army, so it is even more impossible for her to go to the island and meet Tang Ping.

"I am indeed serving as a soldier on an island, but the conditions on the island are poor and supplies are scarce. If we can really make it, would you really like to follow the army instead of staying there for two days and then asking to come back?"

Zhao Gang still didn't quite believe what Zhao Xinfang said. He thought Zhao Xinfang was spoiled. Although she was dressed as simply as most girls in the village today, there was always a sense of incongruity.

"Of course, I'm not afraid of the hardships of being a soldier, let alone just following the army!"

"Brother Zhao Gang, am I not good enough? I have said this, but you still want to reject me. Do you think I did something wrong?"

Zhao Xinfang, who had originally had a smiling face, immediately changed to a pitiful look with tears in her eyes. She was originally good-looking, and although today's outfit seemed too rustic to her, she did look fairer and prettier than those girls who had been doing farm work since childhood.

Zhao Gang waved his hands in panic and kept explaining.

"That's not what I meant. I just think that life on the island is really not that good. With your good conditions, you can actually have more choices. Besides, this is our first meeting, so it's a bit too early to talk about this now."

Zhao Gang felt extremely uncomfortable and moved several steps to the side. Seeing that the stew in the pot was already bubbling, he simply stopped looking at people and started to serve the food skillfully.

Zhao Xinfang was very angry when she saw Zhao Gang's unreasonable look. The situation was completely different from what she had imagined. How come it was written in those books that in this era of blind dates, basically if the girl was good-looking, the guy would come close to her? But when it came to her, Zhao Gang seemed to be avoiding her.

She was so angry that she stamped her feet, but in the end she pretended to be very embarrassed and left the kitchen.

The two parents who were talking in the yard saw Zhao Xinfang's expression and thought that the two of them had a chance, so they all smiled with relief. The topic of their conversation also changed from the growth of their children to what to prepare after the bride's arrival.

Zhao Gang's family of three waited until dark before slowly walking back to Zhaojia Village together.

"Oh, I think the daughter of Village Chief Zhao is really good, she is pretty and capable. Gangzi, what do you think?"

Mother Zhao had a smile on her face, and she was obviously very satisfied with Zhao Xinfang.

"I have no idea,"

Zhao Gang never had any feelings towards Zhao Xinfang, and even thought there was something weird about this person. He really didn't want to have much contact with her, but seeing his mother so excited, he could only casually reply that he didn't know.

"I don't know, I don't know. What else can you know besides eating?"

"When we were eating, you didn't say a single private word, you just kept your head down and ate. The little girl took the initiative to find a topic to talk to you, but you could only make some noises. Did my throat get stuck in your stomach when I gave birth to you, so you can't make any sound?"

Zhao's mother was really disappointed with her son. He finally came back and met a girl with such good conditions, but he didn't know how to seize the opportunity at all.

"Mom, you know why I came back this time. As for the blind date, it was also to follow your wishes."

"I will be returning to the army tomorrow. If you don't want me to worry about anything happening at home, you should take care of your own health."

After saying this, Zhao Gang quickened his pace, a few steps ahead of Zhao's parents, and arrived home first.

Zhao Gang's family was talking about Zhao Xinfang and Zhao Gang, and the same was true for Zhao Youcai and Li Meihua.

"Old man, I think the boy from the Zhao family is a good one. He is very down-to-earth and reliable. He can take care of our daughter. Besides, both our families have the surname Zhao. This way, we don't have to worry about our Zhao family having no descendants in the future. What do you think?"

After Li Meihua cleaned up the dishes, she quickly pulled her husband back into the house, with uncontrollable joy on her face.

"Zhao Gang is indeed a good guy. I think our daughter is not without interest in him. Besides, Zhao Gang's parents are easy to get along with. I think our daughter will not suffer if she marries him."

"The most important thing is that the Zhao family boy has made some achievements in the army. He can also take our daughter to the army, and we don't have to worry about the couple living apart."

The two families have their own thoughts, but how the two get along is only known by the parties involved.
