Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 983

Chapter 983: Chapter 984: I Won’t Make You Wait That Long

Once all the girls who signed up were seated across from the soldiers, the applause subsided, and the Emcee began a speech, followed by a speech from the regiment commander.

Cheng Su glanced around and whispered to Sister-in-law Gao: "Too many monks and too little porridge!"

There were not that many girls who signed up, about thirty or so, yet the number of single soldiers was twice as many. Of course, not all were there; some were single but had arranged partners through their families and were just waiting for the right moment to go home and marry, so they didn’t sit down.

"There’s no other way; it’s not like it used to be. Not everyone wants to marry a soldier," Sister-in-law Gao whispered back.

Cheng Su nodded; it was just as Qi Taiguo said, considering all sorts of factors.

She sighed inwardly; soldiers defending the country have hard marriages, no wonder military marriages are protected, their service alone makes it worthwhile.

Once the regiment commander finished speaking, the gathering began, and Cheng Su and the others chatted and laughed, but her focus remained on those checking each other out.

These days, things are slowly becoming more open, but still comparatively conservative, so everyone didn’t dare speak much, and merely ate quietly, not even daring to lift their heads to look at each other.

No one knows who started the conversation, but soon people were speaking to those sitting across from them, albeit with flushed faces.

Cheng Su found it amusing, and the smile on her lips didn’t fade.

Sister-in-law Gao noticed and asked why she was laughing; Cheng Su truthfully said, "Just find their shy and embarrassed look really funny."
