Bai Qingxia, who was standing by, chimed in, "It's almost time. I guess it'll be around the corner after the Lantern Festival." Then, as if she had thought of something, her eyes lit up. "Why don't you two sisters have your weddings together? They're both around the same time."

Song Yun had no objection. She looked at Qi Mo Nan, who had just come out after washing and shaving, and asked, "What do you think?"

Qi Mo Nan wanted to get the marriage certificate right now and get married tomorrow. He didn't want to wait even a day, but he didn't dare to say no to his mother-in-law's suggestion.

"Yes, I can adjust my shift to that time." Qi Mo Nan agreed readily.

After the relationship is finalized, the wedding preparations must begin immediately. It's not like an engagement, where you just need to set up two tables. You also have to prepare the dowry and decorate the couple's room with furniture and other items. There are so many small details to do.

Both the Song and Bai families were busy, but Song Yun was free. She didn't have much to prepare. The house was ready. Qi Mo Nan and Qi Lao had already prepared and put away all the furniture. Bai Qingxia and Song Hao had also taken a look and bought some things they thought they would be useful. She could move in directly without having to worry about anything.

As for the dowry, it was not fashionable to hold a grand ceremony nowadays, so it was just a token of her appreciation. She did not care about it and let Bai Qingxia and the others prepare it. She stayed at home to take care of the backyard that she had neglected for a long time. The tulsi trees that were grafted from the backyard had grown a lot taller, and they should sprout when the weather gets warmer. She didn't know whether she could eat this batch of tulsi trees this year, but her grandmother was thinking about it every day.

After watering the tulsi trees, she turned to the ancient tea trees. Every time she saw them, she couldn't help but sigh in admiration. She wondered what species it was, yet it could survive in a place like the north, enduring like pine and cypress trees. Tea leaves could be harvested even in winter, though their leaves were older, giving them a unique flavor. Of course, she preferred the tender spring tea, but the quantity was so limited that she could only enjoy it for a short while before it was gone.

Moreover, this ancient tea tree cannot be propagated by cuttings, so there is no way to produce another plant, so we can only pull out this one.

As soon as she finished watering the plants, Bai Qingxia ran excitedly to the backyard. "Xiao Yun, your uncle brought back a few televisions and left one for you and Ruan Ruan. Take them to the compound and wait for Mo Nan to get off work so he can install them."

Song Yun also became interested. She had never watched TV since she came into this world.

"Where did my uncle get it?" It's not easy to buy a TV nowadays. Not only are they expensive, but TV tickets are also not easy to get.

"Your uncle paid a high price to have the tickets exchanged. He's been saving them for a while, just waiting to pick them up when you get married. Now, he's got them all back. Four of them."

Song Yun followed Bai Qingxia to the front to watch the TV, a Panda brand, 12-inch black and white TV.

From the perspective of future generations, people would not be excited about this small black and white TV, but for people today, it is a luxury appliance. In today's era when the average salary is only 20 or 30 yuan or even more than 10 yuan, spending 400 yuan to buy a TV that is not enough to eat or drink is something most people dare not think about.

Even in the military compound, there were only a few families who had televisions.

"Your uncle said this is your dowry. He originally wanted to get you a color TV from Country Y, but it's inconvenient to transport it over. He also wanted to get you a washing machine and other things." Bai Qingxia looked regretful. Compared to the TV, she wanted a washing machine more, but unfortunately she couldn't get it for the time being.

Song Yun smiled and said, "Mom, it won't be long before we can use a washing machine. Uncle's magical powers will come in handy soon."

Bai Qingxia was also looking forward to this day. The Bai family had so much wealth, but they couldn't use it. It was even more frustrating than Jinyi Yenian.

After lunch, Song Yun drove Bai Qingxia and the TV to the military compound in a jeep. As soon as the car entered the compound, it attracted a lot of attention.

"That girl is really pretty, and she can drive. I've never seen her before, but are there any female soldiers in the service these days?"
