Bai Yalan packed up her things and prepared to go to the imperial capital army to join the old man.
However, Bai's parents were obviously worried about their daughter going on the journey alone, so they decided to accompany her.
Bai Yalan knew that her parents had always protected her too well, and she wanted to convince them to let her go alone. However, this time, Bai's parents were adamant and refused to agree no matter what.
Of course, the reasons given by the parents were sufficient, and the reason they went with her was not just because of her.
It was because after so many years, ever since his wife passed away, the old man had been alone in the army for many years, and their family had not been reunited for a long time.
Besides, the old man is a special military doctor, and his food, clothing and shelter are all arranged by the organization. Their family will not have to worry about having no place to stay when they go there. It is a rare opportunity, so they can get together.
After hearing what her parents said, Bai Yalan thought it was a good idea. She was burdened by the memory of her grandfather who only had one year to live in her previous life. She was worried about what excuse to make so that her parents could spend more time with the old man in the future.
This arrangement now saves me a lot of trouble.
The Bai family are all active people. After making the decision, Bai Yalan is ready to get the good things, both for herself and for her parents.
With their daughter helping to pack up, the Bai family had only one thing on their hands: selling the shop. They had nothing else to worry about. Their daughter had grown up, now sensible and thoughtful, and both the Bai family and their daughter were relieved.
Bai Yalan took some time to write a letter and mail it to the army to say hello to her grandfather so that the old man could prepare in advance.
While his family was packing their things and preparing to leave, Qin Kaishen had already taken a day-long train ride to the Imperial Capital Base Camp and reported in. He then returned to the assigned apartments and dormitories for the non-commissioned officers to rest and prepare for the training that would begin the next day.
Gu Fujun had also returned, arriving at the military camp just a little earlier than him. When the two met at the camp, the other party took the initiative to greet him and brought him some surprising news.
"Brother, I'm going to ask for leave." Gu Fujun handed him a cigarette, and the two chatted in the open space in front of the apartment building.
The man's eyes were filled with joy. "I'm planning to go back to my hometown to get married next month. Don't you and my fiancée know each other? Come over for a drink and have some fun together."
Qin Kai was stunned and blurted out subconsciously: "Why so fast?"
As soon as he said that, he felt something was wrong and quickly pretended to be calm, but then added, "I mean, it seems like you two haven't known each other for long, right?"
"Hahaha..." Gu Fujun didn't think much about it, but just laughed heartily. He was in high spirits as if he was happy about something. After smoking a cigarette, he stepped on the cigarette butt, pressed his fists together, and with a crackling sound, he quickly jumped onto the horizontal bar in front of him and did a series of front and back flips.
After he jumped down, he smiled and punched Qin Kai deep in the chest, saying, "It's a little fast, but there's nothing I can do about it, brother. I'll be turning 30 in a few years, so I can't compare with you young people. It's better to settle down sooner and try to have a baby sooner, two in three years. Hahaha, isn't life like this? There's no need to dawdle."
Gu Fujun is a straightforward person, and what he says is straightforward, although his words are a bit rough.
Two children in three years? Was he anxious to get married for the sake of having a baby? What about Lu Qing'er? What would she think? Given his understanding of her, how could she possibly accept that with her personality?
However, he could only suppress all these thoughts in his heart and dared not show them on his face.
"Oh, so that's it." Qin Kai felt bitter. He knew he shouldn't have asked, but he couldn't help but ask again, "Does she...does the woman agree too?"
Gu Fujun just smiled and said, "Her parents don't object."
Then he continued to ask: "How about you come to my wedding? Do you have any vacation this year?"
Yes, Lu Qing'er had an attitude, but Gu Fujun didn't take it seriously at all.
Women are always shy.
He was open-minded and didn't think there was anything to worry about. He thought it would be simple. He would just wait until she was married, treat her well, and give birth to a child. Then he could live his life like that. It was the same for everyone.
As expected, Qin Kaishen looked at Gu Fujun with a complicated expression. He wanted to say something, but he was afraid of saying too much and making mistakes. He had been in the military for many years, and his current position was not easy. He knew that some things should not be said.
Besides, his relationship with Lu Qing'er had never been made clear before, so what identity and position could he use to talk about this matter?
So, after careful consideration, Qin Kaishen finally said nothing.
"No, Captain. I don't have much time off soon, so I won't go." Qin Kai expressed deep regret. "Let me start by wishing you and... and your sister-in-law a happy wedding in advance, and may you have a baby soon."
