Chapter 0: The Second Old Man Li Gets Married

Lin Cuicui quickly interrupted, "Dad, what are you thinking? It's not what you think."

Lin Cuicui didn't dare to speak slowly, fearing the elders would overthink things. "It's like this. Commander Kang just called Third Brother and said he wants to transfer him and Dabei and the others to Kyoto. He said they'll be there within a week."

Old Li's expression softened a bit when he heard this. So that was it. However, he grumbled to himself, "Why is the world so rushed? Can't they wait until they're married before adjusting?"

Qin Diao felt it was quite sudden and she was a little troubled.

Lin Cuicui noticed that Aunt Qin and her father both looked unhappy. She held Qin Diao's hand with a little force and said, "Aunt Qin, this is what I think. You and my father are our elders. After you get married, we will definitely take care of you in your old age.

We don't have any relatives here in the South Island, so I'm thinking we can go to Kyoto together. What do you think?"

Qin Diao was surprised, "Are we going too?"

Lin Cuicui nodded affirmatively. Qin Diao looked up at Old Li, who was obviously a little happy that the Third Brother and Cuicui had no intention of keeping him.

"This?" Qin Diao was in a dilemma. They had been living well in South Island, and here she could even take on some work to support the family. If she went to Kyoto, she would be in an unfamiliar place.

Besides, everything in Kyoto is expensive. Can she still afford to raise the children?

Lin Cuicui saw Qin Diao's doubts, but before she could say anything, Old Li spoke first. "Well, Aunt Qin, let's go together. We have the children, and me too. We definitely can't let three of them starve."

Qin Diao felt very relieved after hearing this. However, after going through so much, what was there for Qin Diao to not understand? She really wanted to live with Old Li. After all, being alone was really too lonely.

Although some neighbors nearby gossip about her, she doesn't care. She lives her own life and only she knows whether it is good or bad.

However, going to the capital now does have its advantages, which is...

Qin Diao looked at them and said, "Third Brother, Cuicui, I'll just say what I want to say. I really didn't intend to take advantage of you when I was with Lao Li. You have a family to support, and I can take on some work here to barely support Yanyan and the others.

But, if we go to Kyoto..."

Tang Shengkai quickly expressed his opinion, "Aunt Qin, see what you said, we are all family, there is no need to be so clear-cut. With Cuicui and I here, we will definitely not let you suffer anymore."

Qin Diao shook his head. "Listen to me. I, Qin Diao, can live such a good life today, and I know how to thank you all. I will never be able to repay your kindness in this lifetime.

I originally wanted to try to cause you as little trouble as possible in the future. However, I don’t want to be separated from Lao Li now. If we go to Kyoto, you will have to worry about finding a house for us, and I may have to trouble you with other work as well.”

Tang Shengkai and Lin Cuicui exchanged a glance, and Lin Cuicui turned and smiled at Qin Diao. "Aunt Qin, you're being unfaithful, aren't you? I won't say anything else. Just remember that we're all family from now on."

Qin Diao was also straightforward. "Okay, when do you plan to leave?"

Lin Cuicui didn't say anything. She looked at Tang Shengkai. Tang Shengkai thought about it and realized that it would take more than three days to get to Kyoto by train. "The day after tomorrow at the latest, otherwise I won't be able to catch it."

Qin Diao looked at the house and said, "Okay! Lao Li, let's go get the certificate tomorrow."

Old Li, who was standing aside, didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly. "Ah? The wine isn't ready yet?"

Qin Diao smiled, and it was a beautiful smile. "How old are you? Why are you still holding a party? It's fine for us to just stay like this."

Lin Cuicui shook Qin Diao's hand and said, "Aunt Qin, I agree that you should get the marriage certificate first. But we will definitely have the wine. We should do what young people do when they get married now."

Qin Diao smiled, "No need, Cuicui, I really don't care about that."

Lin Cuicui smiled and said nothing. Some things don't need to be said, just do it.

Chang Yin was also transferred back to Kyoto this time. Tang Yue was away from home all day, and Sun Jinan was temporarily reassigned to Tang Shengkai as a guard. Together with Wang Ming, a large group of people took the train to Kyoto.

Tang Yue was so well-connected that she was met at the station when she arrived in Kyoto. She took Tang Shengkai and his entire family directly to a courtyard house in the center of Kyoto. The three-story courtyard house had a very grand gate.

Lin Cuicui looked at the imposing gate and felt a little nervous. "Mr. Tian, ​​is this really the yard allocated to us?"

Secretary Tian looked at the Tang family with a smile on his face. "Yes. These are carefully selected by the master. But I still want you to take a look and see if you like them."

Where in their lives had Tang Shengkai and Lin Cuicui ever been to such a luxurious place? Tang Shengkai, however, had seen a lot, so he was naturally calm. But the calmest person was Qin Diao.

From the moment he entered the courtyard to the moment he finished looking at everything, Qin Diao remained calm. From time to time, he would point out where Lin Cuicui should prepare something. This left Lin Cuicui stunned.

Old Li was very proud.

Everyone was very satisfied with this courtyard. The five houses they saw later were also very nice, but none of them were as big as this one. Tang Shengkai and Lin Cuicui felt that such a large house was too small for just their family, so they decided to let Qin Diao and the three Xiao brothers move in.

Originally, Qin Diao didn't want to do it, as she felt it was too much of an advantage. But in the end, she couldn't persuade Tang Shengkai.

I don't know how the news leaked out, but on the day of the banquet held by Old Li and Qin Diao, they originally wanted to invite Chang Yin, Sun Jinan and Wang Ming. However, before the meal time, Chang Yin's parents, grandfather, Commander Han, Old Xu, Old Ke and others all arrived.

Yes, Mr. Xu, Mr. Ke and Lai Xiang’s parents have all been rehabilitated and returned to their original positions.

Tang Shengkai didn't expect so many people to come. Seeing so many leaders, he was instinctively a little nervous.

Tang Yue sat on the bench, relaxed and at ease. Xixi milled around her, but she didn't feel annoyed at all. She wasn't surprised at all to see so many people coming to her house; it was quite normal. She thought, there must be more than just these.

Sure enough, after a while, all the division commanders and above from various military regions, regardless of their factions, came over.

Old Li and Qin Diao were stunned. What was going on? How could they, two unsophisticated people, just trying to make ends meet, have alarmed so many high-ranking officials?

They didn't know that this had not only alarmed so many high-ranking officials, but had spread to almost the entire Chinese military. If time hadn't been so tight, other regions would have sent people over.

When Secretary Tian came over, most of the people had arrived. Tang Yue saw him as he turned into the courtyard. Secretary Tian approached with a smile. Tang Yue's voice was soft and sticky, "Secretary Tian, ​​there's really no need to alarm so many people."

Secretary Tian laughed heartily, "Comrade Xiao Tang, this isn't an order from anywhere. We all came here on our own accord. There's a happy event going on, and everyone wants to join in the fun. We have no other intentions."

Tang Yue shrugged indifferently. It was just a matter of a meal. Her family could afford to pay for even more people, let alone just these people.
