"Then you should ask your third brother, and we should take his opinion as the final word."

Bai Shiqing then called Bai Shibao's unit and asked Bai Shibao to call back when he had time.

Xu Hong remarked from the side, "You brothers and sisters really have a good relationship."

Bai Shiqing replied with a smile, "Of course! We were born of the same parents. There's no one in this world as close as us."

"Okay, okay. I heard that Jiaojiao's third brother has a rank in the army now. Is it possible that after the wedding, the bride can come and join the army? That way, you can take care of each other when she comes over."

"Yes, yes, Aunt Xu, you don't know, my younger brother is very successful. He has made many contributions in the three years he has been in the army."

Bai Shiqing is very proud of her younger brother and sister.

Xu Hong sat at Bai Jiaojiao's place for a while and then left. In the evening, after Bai Shiqing left, Bai Shibo called.

Bai Jiaojiao accepted the call, feeling a little embarrassed, and then conveyed Bai Shiqing's meaning: "Third Brother, it's my sister who wants you to postpone the wedding for two months to wait for me. I'm heavily pregnant now and can't take the train home."

"I'm not in a hurry," Bai Shibao said against his true feelings; in reality, he was so eager to get married that his hair had turned white.

However, it's not that he couldn't be with Bai Jiaojiao. After all, his current success is all thanks to the opportunities given to him by Bai Jiaojiao and Shen Heng. On the other hand, if he hadn't joined the army, he wouldn't have met Guan Xinyan that night.

Bai Jiaojiao and Shen Heng are not only his sister and brother-in-law, but also his benefactors. Of course, Bai Shibao hopes that his sister can attend this important day in his life.

However, he said, "My boss only approved half a month's leave for me, and I really can't wait any longer."

"Third brother, you definitely need to tell Grandpa about your marriage. Otherwise, we can ask him if he can help explain to your boss and ask him to make an exception."

"Tsk, you're right." Bai Shibao spends all his time in the army, training and missions, living like a block of wood. He's long forgotten that the Yang family can still help.

He was used to living at the very bottom of society and never even considered the possibility of getting in through connections.

He had told Yang Changping that he didn't need any special treatment in the army, as he didn't want any special treatment. That's why those people didn't know that his maternal grandfather was Yang Fu.

"Okay, I'll call Grandpa's house in a bit. Jiaojiao, I definitely want you to attend my wedding. You're over eight months pregnant now, so please take care of yourself."

Bai Shibao doesn't say anything caring; his words are dry and unspoken.

"Third brother, don't worry about me. I'm doing fine at home with my sister and Heng-ge taking care of me."

"Then I won't say anything more, I'm hanging up now."

Bai Shibao was also quick to hang up the phone; he did so before Bai Jiaojiao could reply.

"Your third brother is getting married?"

Shen Heng listened from the side.

"Yes, what kind of wedding gift should we give him?"

Bai Jiaojiao was very happy for Bai Shibao; her "older single man" had finally found a partner.

"Send a TV over?" For the past six months, Shen Heng has kept himself by Bai Jiaojiao's side and hasn't gone to the south. On the contrary, Wang Fushun has used the connections Shen Heng has built to transport goods back and forth several times, and then came to Yancheng with Shen Heng to sell them.

Many people are now doing this business, after all, there is a great demand for goods in Yancheng.

“Okay,” Bai Jiaojiao nodded in satisfaction, “Third Brother will be very happy.”

Shen Heng was happy to see Bai Jiaojiao happy. It was just a TV, after all. He was rich and powerful now.

He wanted to wait until Bai Jiaojiao finished her postpartum confinement before making a trip to the south himself. He heard from Jian Shao and Wang Fushun that the place was changing every day, and he wanted to see it for himself and maybe pick up some good stuff.

"Alright, alright, whatever makes you happy. You should focus on giving birth to this baby and having a good postpartum period. Then, I'll go and earn money for you and your baby."

During Bai Jiaojiao's pregnancy, Shen Heng almost became self-taught, knowing everything about the matters before and after childbirth.

He knew that childbirth was a life-threatening experience for women, and he had also heard that if a woman did not take good care of herself during her postpartum period, it would affect her for life. He kept nagging Bai Jiaojiao about it all the time.

"Heng-ge, you're so kind." Bai Jiaojiao reached out and put her arm around Shen Heng's arm, leaning on his shoulder.

"Is that all?" Shen Heng had always felt that Bai Jiaojiao's expectations were too low, and he believed that he had not done nearly enough.

"Mmm, Heng-ge is great in every way." Bai Jiaojiao rubbed against Shen Heng's arm like a kitten.

"Hmm? Why are you being so sweet today? Heng-ge, have a taste."

Shen Heng kissed Bai Jiaojiao until her lips were numb. Taking advantage of Bai Jiaojiao's current inconvenience, she pinched Shen Heng repeatedly with her hands.

When Yang Changping received Bai Shibao's call, he congratulated him and replied, "I'll just have someone inform you about this. It's good that you're willing to wait for your sister."

Yang Changping couldn't help but sigh at Bai Shibao's honesty. Not only did he not allow him to find someone to take care of him in the army, but he also hesitated over such a small matter. It seemed that this uncle did not care enough about his nephews.

Look at Yang Fenglin, he treats the army like his own home, he just reports to them anytime and comes out with his precious car and his precious Qi Yunxin.

"Thank you, Uncle." Bai Shibao was still a little embarrassed. Unlike Bai Jiaojiao and Bai Shiqing, he didn't visit the Yang family often. He was still polite but unfamiliar with this uncle.

"No need to be polite. Here's what we'll do: you should discuss the wedding date with your family first. Anytime is fine. Once you've decided on a date, be sure to let me know as soon as possible. Your aunt and I will definitely attend."

"Okay, Uncle, I will definitely invite you in person then."

Bai Shibao was finally at ease after making the deal with Yang Changping. If he had known that the problem that had been bothering him would be solved so easily, he wouldn't have had to worry for so many days.

Everyone knew that Bai Shibao had submitted his marriage application, but he hadn't left yet. His comrades would occasionally ask, "Shibao, didn't you say you were going home to get married? Why aren't you leaving yet? Isn't your bride in a hurry?"

Now, Bai Shibao's friends are generally older than him, and almost all of them are married men. They often speak with a slightly risqué tone, which makes Bai Shibao feel embarrassed.

Bai Shibao scratched his head and said, "Let's not settle this month, let's wait a bit longer."

"etc?"

"Um."

Bai Shibao still wanted to keep a low profile and didn't want to reveal everything about the Yang family helping him to his comrades.

After hearing Bai Shibao's words, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Just two days ago, Bai Shibao grinned and told them he was getting married. But marriages aren't something you can just wait for. Something must have gone wrong.

However, although everyone thought this way, no one dared to say it to Bai Shibao's face. After all, Bai Shibao was so concise, and they were afraid he would be embarrassed to let everyone know.
