Chapter 24: Marriage in October

At half past six, the Xiao family members arrived one after another.

The younger generations were all in the army, and Grandpa Xiao Jiarong and Father Xiao Qiyuan came to the Xiao family.

As soon as they arrived, they heard Ke Lili say that Du Yi had a way to treat Xiao Shian's leg.

Old Master Xiao's body shook, and he patted Du Yi's shoulder vigorously, laughing and saying, "Little girl Yiyi, you are born to be Xiaoan's wife. Otherwise, why can't the doctors help you? But Yiyi has a cure!"

Du Yi was a little stunned.

The slap from Grandpa Xiao was very real. If the original owner had really been hit by this slap, his body would have been shaken for sure.

When Grandpa Du saw his old comrade-in-arms' rough big hand patting his granddaughter's shoulder heavily, it seemed like it was patting his heart.

He stood up angrily, rushed over, and pushed Grandpa Xiao away.

Looking up at his old comrade who was half a head taller than him, he angrily said, "Old Xiao, what are you doing with those dog paws of yours? You don't know how to use your hands lightly. If you hurt my Yiyi, do you have a granddaughter to compensate me?"

Grandpa Xiao put his right hand behind his back. He was so excited just now that he couldn't control the strength in his hand.

He said awkwardly: "Haha, didn't Changlong say that Du Yi is in good health?"

Grandpa Du pulled Du Yi behind him, opened his arms, and completely blocked Du Yi with his body.

Du Yi cooperated and stood honestly behind Grandpa Du, being well-behaved and obedient.

Grandpa Du snorted again and said, "Even if it's okay, you can't just take pictures casually. If I see it again in the future, I won't forgive you."

He opened his arms like a hen protecting her chicks.

Du Yi: “…”

I feel like my grandfather is no more than three years old.

If his former teammates saw the heartless Du Yi at this moment, they would definitely stare at him with their eyes wide open.

Father Xiao walked between the two old men who started quarreling as soon as they met and tried to smooth things over.

He first said that Grandpa Xiao was wrong.

"Dad, Yiyi is a girl, you are too disrespectful."

Then he turned to look at Grandpa Du and said apologetically, "Uncle Du, my dad doesn't have a granddaughter, and I don't know how to get along with her. I'm really sorry."

His words calmed Grandpa Du down. When the careless Grandpa Xiao heard his son teasing him, he snorted and walked away.

Father Xiao said to Du Yi, who was lowering his head slightly behind Grandpa Du, very sincerely: "Yiyi, thank you very much for your trouble in treating Shi An. No matter what the relationship between our two families is, you will be our family's benefactor in the future."

Du Yi pretended to be a lady and said softly, "Uncle Xiao, I just read a few more medical books and happened to see a feasible method so I wanted to try it. It's not 100% certain to cure it."

Father Xiao waved his hand: "It's great to have this kind of thought."

Du Yi smiled faintly as a response.

The original body was not talkative to begin with, so her behavior was more in line with the original body's personality.

"Yiyi, I heard from your father that you suddenly got better, is that true?"

A surprised, soft female voice sounded at the entrance.

Du turned around and saw that it was his aunt Du Yuqin.

She was carrying some fruits and a few bags of snacks, with an expression of uncontrollable joy on her face.

Tang Jie walked to the entrance and took the things from Du Yuqin's hand, and replied with a smile: "Yiyi hasn't taken medicine for a few days. She is in good health now. She went to the hospital for a check-up this morning and all her physical indicators were normal."

Du Yuqin clapped her hands and laughed, "Then there really is no problem. Alas, this good thing came too suddenly."

She immediately changed her shoes, came to Du Yi, and touched Du Yi's hands and arms.

She pretended to be angry and said, "You haven't come home in the past six months. You really don't miss your grandfather and parents at all. Look, you don't eat well in the army and you have lost weight again."

Du Yi, in turn, took Du Yuqin's arm and did not explain. She just smiled as she watched her aunt scold her with a worried look on her face.

Father Du heard the noise outside and stuck his head out to say, "Let's eat!"

Everyone walked towards the dining room with a smile on their faces.

Du Yi turned his head to look in the direction of the guest room, and saw that Xiao's father had already pushed the door and entered the room.

She followed Du Yuqin to the dining table.

Ke Lili sat down next to Du's mother and said to Du Yuqin who had just sat down with a smile on her face: "Yuqin, there is more than one good thing today. Shi An's leg can also be cured."

Du Yuqin opened her eyes wide in surprise and asked, "Really? Which hospital? Which doctor saw you?"

The boy from the Xiao family is engaged to her niece, and she is also very worried about the boy's legs. It is not reasonable for her to want her niece to marry someone who can't stand up.

Ke Lili nodded at Du Yi and said, "The miracle doctor is here."

Du Yuqin turned around in surprise and looked at Du Yi beside her. Her eyes lit up and she said, "Could it be that Yiyi has some way to treat it?"

Ke Lili nodded repeatedly: "Yiyi said that she saw a massage method in an ancient medical book that could cure Shi An's leg."

"Hello, Grandpa Du, Uncle, Auntie, and Great Aunt."

Xiao Shian's magnetic and deep voice sounded behind everyone.

Father Xiao pushed Xiao Shian to the only empty seat, to the right of Du Yi.

"Eat, eat."

Father Du greeted everyone politely.

Du's mother also greeted the guests with a smile on her face. She did not forget to pick up a big chicken leg for Du Yi and another chicken leg for Du Changle.

Du Haojun stood up and walked out of his seat to pour wine for several male elders one by one.

As soon as they raised their wine glasses, Grandpa Du and Grandpa Xiao became good comrades again.

Father Xiao also felt refreshed and drank two cups in a row.

Du Yuqin picked up some food for Du Yi while chatting with Ke Lili sitting opposite her.

Xiao Shian ate his food politely and nodded from time to time in response to his elders' words.

Du Yi became even quieter, and focused on eating the dishes picked by the elders.

If she doesn't eat faster, the food will fall out.

The silence of the two people seemed somewhat inconsistent with the lively conversation and laughter of the people at the table.

But both of them enjoyed it.

After two rounds of drinks, most of the dishes on the table were gone.

Father Xiao put down his wine glass, looked at Father Du with a smile on his face.

But he said in a serious tone: "Brother Du, Shi An and Yi Yi have been engaged since childhood. The two children get along well. Yi Yi is 23 years old this year and is also of marriageable age. Let's choose a date to hold the wedding for the two children. What do you think?"

The Xiao family actually mentioned this matter last year. The Du family wanted to keep Du for another year or two, but they politely declined.

People of this era advocate late marriage and late childbirth, and it is now common for people to find a partner after the age of 23.

Du Yi suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao's father.

Get married as soon as you get here?

There are many things that cannot be done after getting married.

She doesn't want to get married yet!

Xiao Shian also looked at his father in surprise, as his family had not mentioned this matter beforehand.

Father Du and Mother Du looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.

Their daughter has liked the third boy of the Xiao family since she was young, so even when the boy from the Xiao family had a disabled leg, they never thought of canceling the engagement.

My daughter has been in poor health since birth and has had a hard time in the first half of her life. If she can marry the person she loves most, it will be a kind of compensation in life.

The Du family strongly supports Du Yi and Xiao Shian's marriage.

Ke Lili added fuel to the fire: "I have secretly calculated that Yiyi and Shian are compatible. October 3rd is the best day for them to get married. We have prepared all the wedding supplies."

Although she was a little concerned about Du Yi's health before, she had also calculated it privately, including the things for Xiao Shian's wedding. They started preparing it a year ago after Xiao Shian reached the legal age for marriage.

The Xiao family said so. Seeing that Grandpa Du had no intention of objecting, Father Du made the decision directly: "Then let's get married on October 3rd."

The Xiao family also lived in an area of ​​the military compound, just a few rows apart. He could accept this distance for his daughter to get married.

When Du Yi saw that the matter was about to end, she quickly nudged Xiao Shian next to her with her elbow.

Xiao Shian, who was standing next to him, put down his chopsticks, looked at the elders solemnly and said, "I have no objection."

Du Yiyi had an expression as if he had seen a ghost, and slowly turned his head to look at the man with a clear profile on his right.

You...didn’t you want to cancel the engagement before?
