Chapter 449 - 449 Proposal
449 Proposal
She quickly patted her chest a few times, then she patted Yu Bing’s arm and said, “Do you want to die? You scared me to death!”
Yu Bing teased, “It’s your fault for being so engrossed that you didn’t even notice when I came in, but that’s normal. Every time you see Cui Jin’s letter, you enter a trance!”
Jiang Chun rolled her eyes at Yu Bing. When she thought of the contents of the letter, she didn’t know how to decide.
She originally wanted to reply immediately after reading the letter so that she could study. Unexpectedly, the night passed, but she still hadn’t decided. At this moment, looking at Yu Bing, who was drinking water, she hesitated about whether to ask her.
From the corner of her eye, Yu Bing saw Jiang Chun’s hesitant expression and she teased, “If you have something to say, say it. When did you become so indecisive?”
Jiang Chun pursed her lips and said in embarrassment, “Cui Jin mentioned marriage to me in the letter.”
Yu Bing asked in surprise, “He proposed to you?”
When Jiang Chun heard this word, she asked curiously, “Propose?”
Yu Bing suddenly remembered that there was no such saying in the country yet. Now, if the man wanted to get married, he would ask directly. If the woman agreed, they would get married. If she didn’t, they would interact with each other some time longer. There was no such thing as a marriage proposal. After the country opened up and the world resumed trade, the people in the country learned the term from abroad.
Yu Bing immediately changed her words and explained, “It means he wants to marry you.”
Jiang Chun smiled when she heard Yu Bing’s words. “He wants to get married, but I haven’t decided on it yet.”
Yu Bing nodded in understanding. “Marriage is a big deal, so it’s normal to hesitate about marriage. What are you thinking now?”
Jiang Chun lowered her eyes and thought for a while before replying, “We communicate almost every week. Although we don’t really spend much time together, I think we already know each other very well through letters. Be it our values or opinions on many things, we are very similar. I can also sense our fondness for each other. Moreover, we’ve been datng for half a year, so it seems quite appropriate to get married now.”
Speaking of marriage and relationships, Yu Bing felt that she had only experienced failure so far and couldn’t give Jiang Chun too many good suggestions, so she could only think of some future television dramas and novels as references. “Think about what his shortcomings are and what you can’t tolerate the most. Then, think about it. If he can’t change these things for the rest of his life, will you be able to tolerate him for the rest of your life and not bring them up when you guys fight?”
Sometimes, when Cui Jin was on an assignment and couldn’t write to her, he would suddenly go AWOL. This was indeed very concerning to her.
However, she also knew that this was because of Cui Jin’s profession. After all, there were some things that someone had to do. In addition, Jiang Chun had already overcome this problem in the early stages of her relationship.
As for the rest, Jiang Chun really couldn’t think of anything else.
“I can’t think of anything. What I care about the most is probably the way husband and wife interact during the marriage. Actually, there will be times when we have differences of opinion, but no matter how fierce the argument is, he will give in when I give in. Then we can find a compromise. I’ve always felt comfortable with this way of interacting.”
At the thought of this, Jiang Chun smiled sweetly. “I know that there are always all kinds of conflicts when two people are together, but every conflict seems to bring us closer to each other. He even said that he’s preparing to transfer to a new military district, which will only be built a year later. At that time, he’ll apply to let me follow the army.”
Yu Bing didn’t expect Cui Jin to have already considered Jiang Chun in his future plans and treat Jiang Chun as such an important part of his future.
This improved Yu Bing’s impression of Jiang Chun’s future marriage. Hearing Jiang Chun’s description, she smiled and said, “Actually, you already have an answer.”
Jiang Chun was stunned when she heard this, but then she quickly understood what Yu Bing meant.
They had common topics, and there were no unacceptable shortcomings. When conflicts arose, they could be easily resolved. She and Cui Jin also looked forward to developing this relationship to the next level.
Jiang Chun took out a blank letter without hesitation and began to reply. Seeing this, Yu Bing didn’t disturb her anymore and quietly went to make the bed.
Perhaps it was because of Jiang Chun’s influence, but after Yu Bing turned off the kerosene lamp and went to bed at night, she fell into deep thought as she looked at the moonlight shining in from the window.
She and Xiao Sheng met often, but the two of them had never quarreled. There didn’t seem to be any conflicts between them. At most, one side would get angry, but then get appeased by the other party very quickly.
