Chapter 310

Zhong Xueyuan could hear his sarcasm, but she didn't want to conflict with him. "Comrade Jiang, if there's nothing else, I'll go to rest first. Don't stay up too late and take care of yourself."

After saying that, she didn't even wait for Jiang Shen to react. She walked into the house without looking back, closed the door and locked it.

Jiang Shen frowned unhappily. Was she guarding against thieves or against him?

Do you really think he is the kind of petty person who would haggle with women?

Jiang Shen felt a tightness in his chest. He lowered his eyes and glanced at the enamel cup on the table. The water in it was still emitting warm steam.

He frowned and took a sip. He still had some conscience and felt sorry for him.

-

The next day.

Before dawn, Zhong Xuexi was pulled out of bed by her grandmother.

Ruan Qing, the eldest daughter, arrived early and was responsible for dressing up and putting makeup on Zhong Xuexi.

Lin Ziqiu was fully responsible for setting up the banquet outside, which saved Grandma Li Guixiang a lot of worry.

Seeing her granddaughter's beautiful smile in the mirror, Li Guixiang's eyes were filled with tears. She combed her hair with a comb, her voice choked with sobs, "From the beginning to the end, we will love each other till we grow old together."

"Xue Xi, when you marry into the Zhao family, you can no longer be so willful like you were when you were a girl at home. You must think twice before doing anything. If you encounter something you are unsure about, discuss it with Xiu Yuan. Remember?"

As for this little granddaughter, she was the one who stayed with her the longest.

Even though she is considered an older woman at this age, in Li Guixiang's eyes, her granddaughter will always be her little girl.

After Ruan Qing applied lipstick on her, she couldn't help but feel a little sad when she heard her aunt's words. "If Zhao Huaian dares to bully you in the future, don't be afraid. Just bully him back. If you can't beat him, just come back and tell us. I'll bring Ah Chu along to support you!"

Zhong Xuexi had been suppressing her emotions for a long time. She cried so much yesterday that her eyes were swollen because of her second sister's matter. Now she couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Don't cry! Hold it back! I worked so hard to put on your makeup, and if you cry, it will ruin it, and then you will be a cat bride!"

"puff--"

Zhong Xuexi's sad mood was instantly broken by her words and she smiled. She raised her head slightly and forced back her tears.

"That's right, on such a happy day, we should be happy!"

Many guests came to the yard to congratulate, and there was constant laughter outside the house.

"Is the second sister here?"

Zhong Xuexi changed into the wedding dress made by her grandmother and stood beautifully in front of the mirror, but she still wanted to see her sister in her heart.

At this time, Lin Ziqiu walked in and reminded in a low voice: "The auspicious time is almost here. Your brother just came back and told me that your second sister is waiting for you at the Zhao family."

The Zhong family is marrying off their granddaughter today, so there are a lot of people here. Although it is easy to take advantage of the situation, it is still not safe.

The two children, in particular, are also very conspicuous.

So at around five in the morning, Jiang Shen asked his adjutant to drive and take the Zhong family to the military compound.

In name, the visit was to visit Mr. Huang and to express condolences to the "hero" Huang Bin.

The Huang family's backyard leads directly to the Zhao family's backyard, and the two houses are back to back.

The Huang family was well aware of the Zhong family's affairs. Old Master Huang had spent his entire life in military service and had trained many young heroes, but he had an undisguised dislike for the Ruan family father and son.

He knew a little about the dirty things that happened behind Ruan Shan's back, but now that he has retired, he is powerless to do anything about it.

Zhong Xueyuan was such a good girl, but she was ruined by the Ruan family. With the Huang family as a cover, Zhong Xueyuan met Zhao Huaian smoothly.

Zhao Huaian was originally worried that Zhong Xuexi would not be in the mood to get married because of her sister's affairs, and he was so worried that he did not sleep the whole night.

When he saw Zhong Xueyuan, he was so excited that he was speechless.

Zhong Xueyuan saw that he had dark circles under his eyes and she used some powder to cover them up.

"Xiao An, I understand your feelings for Xue Xi. Now that you can finally get married, I sincerely wish you all the best."

She changed the subject and said very seriously, "But if one day you change your mind and do something to let her down, please let her go. We will come and take her home."

Zhao Huaian was stunned. From the moment he clearly realized that he liked Zhong Xuexi until now, he had never thought of changing his mind.

Even though Zhong Xuexi liked Wei Zhihe so much at the beginning, he chose to stay by her side silently. Wherever she was, he would follow her.

Change of heart?

No!

Unless he dies.

"Sister Yuan, I promise you that there will never be such a day."

-

There was a cheer from outside the house, "Here comes the groom!"

Zhong Xuexi's heart couldn't help but tremble, and she subconsciously grasped Lin Ziqiu's hand.

"Sister-in-law...Sister-in-law, are you nervous on your wedding day?"

Lin Ziqiu smiled and said, "What's there to be nervous about?"

It was not her first time to get married. In her previous life, she married Shen Nanfeng, and the whole village celebrated. However, she was also trying to survive at that time. Her belief in wanting to survive far outweighed her current emotions. She clearly remembered that she was unusually calm that day because she knew what kind of life she was about to live.

As for this life, Lin Mengyaoyuan thought she had seized the initiative and threw the marriage with Zhong Zhiyang to herself.

Lin Ziqiu had no expectations for marriage at the time, so naturally she wasn't nervous at all.

"Why is my heart... beating so fast!" Lin Mengyaoyuan covered her chest and tried to calm herself down.

The wedding procession was huge, and Zhao Huaian had a big red flower pinned on his chest. He was usually nonchalant, but today he seemed a little restrained and nervous.

Beside him were his cousin Zhao Huainian and a group of good brothers under his command. Even Huang Bin, although he was a sworn enemy of Zhao Huainian, he still came despite his disability as today was a special day.

The Zhong family's "brother-in-law", led by Zhong Heyang, blocked the door with a group of people who could drink a lot.

"If you want to marry our Captain Zhong's sister, drink this wine first!"

The person who was speaking was Lu Zhengnan. In front of him was a table with two jars of wine on it.

Zhao Huainian and Lu Zhengnan are old acquaintances. When they were in school, they basically knew everyone of the same age.

"No big deal! Brother An, just go pick up my sister-in-law and take her home. Leave these to us, my brothers! We will definitely defeat them!"

As they were both generous people, they soon started drinking together.

Zhao Huaian's ears turned red, and he walked up to his 'brother-in-law' and said, "Brother, can I go in and see Xue Xi?"

Zhong Heyang said nothing. Suddenly, several children appeared behind him and blocked the door again. They were all relatives.

If Zhong Niannian and his sister could come, they would be indispensable at this moment.

"Give me wedding money, give me wedding money. If you don't, you won't be allowed in!"

Several children were shouting at the same time and very loudly. Zhao Huaian really didn't have any money with him. In his pocket, he had nothing except the gift for his wife. This really stumped Zhao Huaian.

At this time, Huang Bin's voice came from behind, "I have it here."

Zhao Huaian immediately gave him a grateful look and urged, "Go get it from Uncle Huang."

The children immediately beamed with joy and rushed towards Huang Bin like a swarm of bees.

Huang Bin didn't like the name "uncle". He frowned and held the red envelope in his hand without rushing to give it to him. "Call me again."

"I wish Uncle Huang good fortune and prosperity!"

"Uncle Huang is a great man!"

"Uncle Huang——"

Huang Bin: "...Think it over before you shout."

There was a little girl who was very clever, "The brother who gave out red envelopes is the most handsome! Brother Huang is the most handsome!"

"Hello, Brother Huang! Brother Huang is so handsome!"

"Brother Huang, I want one too!"

Huang Bin was satisfied this time.

Is he old? You haven't even gotten married yet, why are you calling me uncle?

Zhao Huaian was speechless at Huang Bin's sudden shameless and shameless behavior. He covered his face and smiled helplessly.

Seeing that there was no one to stop him, he looked at Zhong Heyang again, "Brother - my dear brother! Let me in!"

Zhong Heyang didn't embarrass him, he just said, "Treat her well and make her happy."

Zhao Huaian stood at attention and saluted him, "I promise to complete the task!"

Making his daughter-in-law the happiest person in this world will be his lifelong mission.

"Here it comes! Here it comes!" Ruan Qing rubbed his hands excitedly, feeling more excited than if he had won the lottery.

Zhong Xuexi immediately sat up straight and waited for Zhao Huaian to come in and pick her up.

Lin Ziqiu stood at the door, and Zhao Huaian shyly called her "sister-in-law".

"Hey, go in quickly, don't delay the auspicious time."

Zhao Huaian was still feeling lucky that his sister-in-law didn't make things difficult for him one second ago, but the next second he heard Ruan Qing's laughter, "Wait! There's no way you can marry my best sister so easily!"

Ruan Qing blocked his view, but Zhao Huaian still looked at Zhong Xuexi in the room tacitly.

"Sister Qing, please show mercy!"

In order to successfully marry a wife, Zhao Huaian even disregarded his face.

This was the first time that Ruan Qing was called "sister" by him, and she almost smiled. "Well, although we usually have a good relationship, let's be fair, I won't let you off!"

Seeing Zhong Xuexi looking anxiously, Lin Ziqiu reminded her, "Ah Qing, pay attention to the time."

"Okay." Ruan Qing understood what she meant immediately, "Then let Teacher Zhao sing us a love song to express his love for our Xue Xi!"

"Hey! This is good! This is good!"

"I think it's okay! I haven't heard Teacher Zhao sing yet!"

"Teacher Zhao is such a talented person, how could singing be difficult for him? Sister Qing, you are so generous!"

But Zhao Huaian was sweating profusely.

But when he met Zhong Xuexi's expectant eyes, he opened his mouth directly with a desperate look -

"You asked me how much I love you, how much I love you"

"My feelings are true, my love is true"

"The moon represents my heart"

“…”

Zhao Huaian sang every word of the lyrics to Zhong Xuexi.

Their eyes met. It was the first time that Zhong Xuexi heard him sing. Her eyes flickered in the dim light, as if hiding tiny stars, with a hint of surprise and expectation.

"A gentle kiss has touched my heart"

"A deep love that makes me miss it till now"

“…”

"You asked me how much I love you, how much I love you"

"Think about it, take a look"

"The moon represents my heart"

Zhao Huaian's eyes were full of affection, as if everything around them had disappeared, leaving only them.

When he sang the last sentence, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, revealing a gentle smile.

Zhong Xuexi's cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes became even more fiery, as if she had a thousand words to say.

They stared at each other, and even though the singing had stopped, loveliness still spread freely in their eyes.

"Good! Great song!"

People around who had heard the song applauded and cheered. This is an old song.

But at this point in time, Teresa Teng's song "The Moon Represents My Heart" happens to be popular all over the country.

Someone joked: "Teacher Zhao is really keeping up with the times. He can sing such a popular song!"

"Don't delay the auspicious time!"

Zhong Xuexi sat in front of the window. Without any tests or obstacles, Zhao Huaian walked towards her step by step.

"Xue Xi, are you willing to go home with me?"

Zhong Xuexi's eyes were filled with tears, "I do."

The two held hands as they wished and embarked on their happy journey home surrounded by everyone.

Li Guixiang was both reluctant and relieved. Even though the woman was not marrying far away, how could she not be sad to marry her granddaughter off?

Ruan Qing originally thought that she would never cry, but now she was also infected and cried with tears and snot.

Tears welled up in Lin Ziqiu's eyes, and her heart was filled with blessings for the lovers to finally get married.

Beside her, Zhong Heyang couldn't help but hold her hand, "Wife, let's find time to take wedding photos."

Lin Ziqiu was startled and looked at him in surprise, "Why did you suddenly have this idea?"

Zhong Heyang stroked her cheek, his eyes full of affection and guilt, "I forced you to marry me, and I couldn't give you a complete wedding. It's a pity, so I want to leave a record of how we love each other."

Lin Ziqiu would get to the point. She asked, "Does this mean you will change your mind in the future? Will you divorce me?"

Zhong Heyang cried out, "How could I change my mind?"

After a pause, he said solemnly: "Not divorced, just widowed."

-

After bidding farewell to their relatives, the wedding procession began to return.

At the front was a jeep with a big red flower on it. After all, it was a wedding for a member of a military compound, so the proper ceremony would be expected.

At the Zhao family's side, Zhao's father rushed back specially for his son's marriage. Although he was very disappointed with his son, he couldn't hide his joy on his face because he saw that his son had finally accomplished an important event in his life.

Especially if you marry a good daughter-in-law.

She is the little granddaughter of his old comrade-in-arms, so he can be considered as fulfilling his old comrade-in-arms' last wish.

Zhong Xueyuan was also eagerly waiting to see her sister, but she couldn't show her face in the crowd, so she stayed on the second floor of the Zhao family.

"Mom, why hasn't my aunt come yet?"

Zhong Niannian ate wedding candy and asked eagerly while standing in front of the window.

Zhong Xueyuan rubbed her little head and said, "It should be coming soon. Let's wait patiently."

There were only the three of them in the room, and Jiang Shen was downstairs talking to Mr. Huang.

The yard was packed with people. Zhao's father was stationed at the border all year round, and even though he seldom came back, who in the entire compound would dare not give him face when he married his son-in-law?

Even several important leaders of the military region came, and basically every household in the compound came to join in the fun.

The Zhao family was also wealthy, and everyone who came was a guest, and they would not let them go back with an empty stomach.

Plenty of red eggs, wedding candies and wedding wine.

Some cadres headed by Mr. Huang sat at a table, and Jiang Shen naturally sat beside him.

The wedding procession was getting closer and closer, and a child ran in and shouted, "Here they come! The bride is back!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't sit still anymore and stood up to see.

The wedding car was led by a jeep, followed by more than 20 Phoenix 28-inch bicycles, all of which were decorated with festive red flowers.

At the end there were several ox carts, carrying the bride's dowry.

It can be said that this was the most grand wedding event held in the compound in recent decades.

Even when Wei Zhihe married Zhong Xueyuan, there was not such a grand ceremony.

Ruan Shan and Wei Yufei felt that since Zhong Xueyuan had already slept with Wei Zhihe, she was not that valuable, so they would just have a bigger banquet, but the betrothal gift would be less than one-tenth of what the Zhao family gave this time.

Zhong Xuexi’s betrothal gift was a full ten thousand yuan!

In the words of Zhao's mother, her daughter-in-law is one in a million!

What does it mean to be a ten thousand yuan household these days?

Those who understand will understand!

Therefore, the betrothal gift from the Zhong family was also generous.

Not only that, Li Guixiang also gave the betrothal gift to her granddaughter, sincerely hoping that she could live a good life with her son-in-law.

The wedding ceremony was simple and solemn, and there was no professional emcee. First, surrounded by the crowd, the two newlyweds bowed deeply three times to the portrait of the Chairman.

Then we prepared to serve tea.

Zhong Xuexi picked up the teacup first and handed it to Father Zhao, "Dad, have some tea!"

Father Zhao said "good" three times in a row, took the teacup with both hands, took a sip, and the corners of his eyes turned red.

His voice trembled with excitement, "Xiuyuan, now that you have a family, you need to be more mature and stable, take on the responsibilities of a husband, and treat Xuexi well!"

"Dad hopes that you two can live in harmony and support each other in the future, and live a prosperous life!"

As he spoke, he took out the red envelope he had prepared long ago from his pocket and stuffed it into Zhong Xuexi's hand.

When it was Zhao's mother's turn, she also drank the tea happily.

Then, she smiled and took out a big gold bracelet, grabbed Zhong Xuexi's hand and put it on.

Zhong Xuexi was flattered, "Mom... No, this is too expensive."

"Whether it's expensive or not is secondary. What's important is that you deserve it! This is a gift from Xiuyuan's grandmother when I first got married. I can finally pass it on to my daughter-in-law. Hurry and accept it!"

The original betrothal gift of 10,000 yuan was already astonishing.

Now she has a big gold bracelet, which is really the envy of others.

Zhong Xuexi and Zhao Huaian looked at each other. Zhao Huaian was smiling the whole day, and his mouth never faltered. He gestured for her to accept it with peace of mind.

"Thank you, Dad! Thank you, Mom!"

Zhong Xuexi's shout made the Zhao couple laugh so hard that they couldn't stop.

After the formalities were over, Zhong Xuexi was sent to her new room on the second floor.

Next door to the new house is Zhong Xueyuan and her family.

Zhao Huaian knew that the sisters were looking forward to meeting and chatting privately, so he quickly sent those who had come to join in the fun downstairs to attend the banquet.

They even asked a few children from relatives to "stand guard" at the stairs, and received red envelopes and benefits. Each one of them was more responsible than the other.

That didn't even catch a fly.

The two sisters met as they wished. When Zhong Xueyuan saw her younger sister sitting in front of the bed in a red wedding dress, she couldn't help but tear up. "Second sister!"

Zhong Xuexi was also very excited, but she didn't dare to shout too loudly. She immediately stood up and walked over to hold her hand, "You almost scared us to death!"

"Pooh, pooh, pooh! It's not the right time to say such unlucky things on such a happy day. I will definitely come to my sister's wedding."

Zhong Xuexi muttered softly, "I knew you would come, but...but compared to your safety, I just hope you can be fine!"

The two sisters sat down. Zhong Xueyuan gently held her sister's hair and said, "My experience was relatively smooth this time, but it's not convenient for me to go home."

"My sister-in-law only told me that you have arrived. Please tell me how you came back."

"We came here with Uncle Jiang!"

At this time, Zhong Niannian poked her head out of the door and came in, "Auntie!"

Zhong Xuexi hadn't seen her for a long time, and her heart suddenly softened. She was ignorant in the past and often criticized the two children. Now she wanted to slap herself twice when she thought about it.

"Come in quickly! Let your aunt have a look."

Zhong Niannian walked over holding her brother's hand.

"Our little Nian Nian has grown taller and seems to be prettier too." Zhong Xuexi took out two red sachets from the dowry box she brought.

She took out two small gold locks from inside and said, "Here, this was originally the New Year gift that my aunt prepared for you."

"Didn't you guys not come back for the New Year? I was worried they'd get lost if I sent them over. Luckily you brought them back. I wanted to go to the capital to see you."

Zhong Xueyuan saw that the two small gold locks were very valuable and refused to accept them. "They are too young to wear such expensive things. You are wasting money!"

"What's wrong with being young? Our Zhong family's babies deserve the best!"

Zhong Niannian has never worn any jewelry made of gold.

In the past, I only saw grandma wearing gold bracelets and gold rings at Ruan’s house. My mother originally had a gold necklace, which was given by my father.

But my mother didn't want to wear it, so my grandmother snatched it away, saying it was a waste for my mother.

Zhong Xuexi put them on the two children personally.

Zhong Niannian jumped for joy, opened her big watery eyes, and said crisply: "Thank you, aunt! I hope you can give birth to a brother or sister soon, so that we can play together!"

It was the first time that Zhong Xuexi was induced to give birth. She felt a little embarrassed and a little amused. "Okay, okay."

Although Zhong Siyu next to him did not speak, he looked down at the gold locket on his chest, and a different color flashed in his eyes.

Zhong Xueyuan let her go, knowing that her sister felt she owed her and wanted to make it up to the two children.

After sending the two children away, the two sat together and talked privately.

"I feel relieved to see you marry Xiuyuan. There are bound to be bumps and bruises between husband and wife. Although he is willing to pamper you, you have to be careful about your distance, especially since you live with your mother-in-law. You can't be petty like you are at home. You have to tolerate each other and run the household well."

Even though her marriage was a mess, she sincerely hoped that her sister could be happy.

She once thought about compromising, getting married, and living the rest of her life with Wei Zhihe in mutual respect.

She accepted her fate, but was not treated well.

Wei Zhihe was not satisfied with just getting her, he also hoped to get her heart.

But her heart was already broken.
