“Cui Cui, your father is so old, we don’t need to do all those fancy things. Your Aunt Qin and I will get a marriage certificate, and we can have a meal together as a family.”

Lin Cuicui looked at Old Li with disapproval, "Dad, you can't say that in front of Aunt Qin. Dad, this is your first time getting married, so you can't be careless. Besides, we're just buying a few pieces of furniture and a few clothes for Aunt Qin. We don't dare to make a big fuss about the rest."

"Okay, you can do it this way, but we really don't need 36 legs or anything like that."

Lin Cuicui waved her hand, "Dad, just wait to marry Aunt Qin, leave the rest to me. I'll take care of everything for you."

Old Li was quite helpless. Tang Shengkai, watching Xixi from the side, said to Old Li, "Dad, getting married is a once-in-a-lifetime event. We can't skimp on anything we should have. Besides, our family is well-off. Why make it so shabby?"

It's as if we don't want to form a marriage alliance.

“Hey, third son, to be honest, I never dared to dream of living like this before. I’m really happy to be able to live like this. Your Aunt Qin also said that she doesn’t care about those things anymore.”

Lin Cuicui's big eyes were full of laughter, and she said with a hint of teasing, "Dad, if you say it like that, I have even more to say. Dad, to be honest, if it weren't for the current state of the world, do you think you and Aunt Qin would have known each other?"

My Aunt Qin's family background is amazing; she's a wealthy heiress. Father, for you to marry Aunt Qin is truly..."

"Your ancestors must have burned incense for eight generations," Old Li replied, giving Lin Cuicui a disapproving look.

Lin Cuicui and Tang Shengkai exchanged a smile.

Old Li sat on the bench, looking somewhat dejected. "Do you think Yueyue can make it back in a week?"

Old Li genuinely wanted Tang Yue to come back for their wedding, but he wasn't sure if she could make it back in time.

Tang Shengkai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Dad, Yueyue will be back in a few days. She'll definitely make it in time."

Old Li visibly cheered up and took Xixi out for a stroll.

Lin Cuicui sat to one side, making statistics on paper, while Tang Shengkai sat beside her watching.

As she was writing, Lin Cuicui looked up and said, "Third Brother, do you think we should buy a house for Dad outside? Dad is married to Aunt Qin, he can't keep renting."

Tang Shengkai considered it for a moment and thought it was feasible. "Okay. But are there any houses for sale? I don't know if I can buy one."

This stumped Lin Cuicui. They had been on the South Island for several years, but Lin Cuicui hadn't really gone out much. "Let's go out for a walk tomorrow. Let's look around, maybe we'll bump into each other."

"good!"

Just then, a young soldier ran in and said, "Reporting to Commander Tang."

Tang Shengkai stood up. "What's wrong? Is there a mission for the troops?"

"No! Commander Kang has something to discuss with you."

"good!"

"Third Brother, you go ahead. Will you be back for dinner tonight?"

As Tang Shengkai walked out, he said, "Yes, I'll definitely go back."

"Report! Commander, you wanted to see me?"

Commander Kang is very happy now. "Well, Kyoto called and said they're transferring all of you to Kyoto. They asked if there's any unit you'd like to go to."

Tang Shengkai's eyes darted around and he knew exactly what was going on. "I will follow the organization's arrangements."

Commander Kang smiled and said, "You can make any requests you have. The higher-ups will definitely consider them."

Tang Shengkai shook his head, "Commander, I really don't have any requests, I just want to stay in the army."

Commander Kang nodded, not continuing the topic. "Oh, by the way. The higher-ups have prepared six courtyards for the little girl. They've sent you over to take a look first, and you can change them if you're not satisfied."

Tang Shengkai...

His daughter... well, he doesn't even know what to say.

"Thank you, Commander!"

Commander Kang smiled and waved his hand, "I should be thanking you all. If it weren't for the little girl..."

Commander Kang didn't say the rest, but both of them understood what he meant.

"The idea from Kyoto is to go there as soon as possible, preferably within a week."

"So urgent?"

Commander Kang smiled at Tang Shengkai, "What? Haven't you had enough of the South Island yet?"

Tang Shengkai scratched his head sheepishly, "No, it's just that my dad is preparing to marry Aunt Qin, and my wife has been busy with the preparations these past few days."

Commander Kang hadn't expected this. "Haha, you have six courtyards in Kyoto. The children are all still young, wouldn't it be perfect to handle things there?"

Tang Shengkai thought that made sense.

"Hey? Third Brother, why are you back so early?"

Tang Shengkai looked around. "Dad hasn't come back yet?"

"Yes, we can go out and about now. Dad takes Xixi out quite far every day."

Tang Shengkai laughed, "Who knows, he might have gone to Aunt Qin's place again."

Lin Cuicui smiled and said, "It's alright. Xixi has already reached the first level of Qi Refining. He can protect Dad."

Tang Shengkai felt proud upon hearing this. However, he quickly told Lin Cuicui about his trip to Kyoto.

"Oh? You're all being transferred to Kyoto? And the time is so tight. What about Father and Aunt Qin's wedding?"

"Let's go to Kyoto to handle this? We're all leaving now, we can't leave Aunt Qin and Dad still on the South Island. They definitely can't be left without anyone to take care of them."

Lin Cuicui thought it made sense, but it was all too sudden. "Then we need to go and talk to Aunt Qin right away. We can't let her misunderstand."

"Let's go now while it's still early."

As expected, Old Li brought Xixi to Qin Diao's place. As soon as Qin Diao saw Lin Cuicui and Tang Shengkai arrive together, he quickly came over to greet them.

"Come in and sit down."

"Aunt Qin, please don't be so polite. It's not cold now, shall we sit in the yard for a while?"

"Okay, either way is fine!" Xiao Moyan made two bowls of brown sugar water for Lin Cuicui and Tang Shengkai. "Uncle, Aunt, have some water."

"Oh, Yan Yan is so good!" Lin Cuicui smiled and patted Xiao Moyan's hair.

Qin Diao knew that Lin Cuicui and Tang Shengkai must have something on their minds. After the children went inside, Qin Diao asked, "Third brother, Cuicui, what's wrong?"

She assumed it was about marrying Old Li, which had already been agreed upon, and she didn't think they would object. So it must be about the gifts. Old Li had just come over and said the children wanted to prepare more for them.

Now that Qin Diao is older, she doesn't value material possessions as much anymore. She's truly enjoyed her time on the South Island. She hasn't felt this carefree since her family members passed away one after another.

Lin Cuicui smiled and took Qin Diao's hand. "Aunt Qin, we really did come here on business. I feel quite bad for you. But we just received the news and came right away."

Old Li was getting nervous. What did Cui Cui mean? He couldn't understand it at all.

"Cui Cui, what's wrong? Don't you...?"
