As the wedding date draws closer, all preparations are almost completed.

"Shushu, when will Mingjing come back? There are only a few days left, so we have to hurry. He is a groom, he can't just come back the day before the wedding." Meng Ying held the notebook in her hand, counting the various things to do one by one, and suddenly remembered that the groom was nowhere to be seen.

If such a big event is not done in advance and is really delayed until the last day, if something happens to the train and it is delayed, won’t there be no groom at the wedding?

Jian Shu was cleaning. Without even looking up, he replied, "It's almost there. Calculating the date, they should be on the bus by now. It should arrive almost tomorrow."

This time he came back to get married. After the wedding, he had to take Jianshu with him to join the army. He had to wait until she had dealt with all the things here and said goodbye to her close people before he could leave, so Gu Mingjing specially asked for a longer leave.

His marriage had always been a focus of attention, and it seemed like it was going to be a difficult matter. After he finally solved the marriage issue, the leaders were very happy. After understanding the situation, they readily approved a one-month vacation for him.

As the groom, he certainly couldn't just sit back and do nothing, so after finishing his business, he returned to Beijing a few days in advance.

"That's good. Although everything has been arranged, he still needs to have an idea in his mind. When he comes back, I will talk to him about it." Meng Ying nodded.

This time, all matters related to their marriage were handled by Meng Ying, mainly because she was the most suitable person.

Of course, there was no one else besides her.

Now, Jian Shu is the only one left in the Jian family, and they don't have any close relatives. Those distant relatives who are several times older than them have long lost contact due to the war, and Jian Yucheng has never specifically looked for them after settling down.

The Gu family was a little better off, but not much. Gu Zhan was the second child in the family, with an older brother, a younger brother, and a younger sister. However, his eldest brother died on the battlefield early in life, leaving behind only an ignorant child. Later, his eldest sister-in-law remarried and took the child with her. They had kept in touch over the years, but they were no longer in Beijing.

My younger brother is a politician and was transferred out of Beijing many years ago. He is now working in a coastal area. He is very busy with work and brought his whole family there. He also cannot return to Beijing for several years.

My younger sister is in Beijing, but because of some old things, our relationship is very distant. Although we are not to the point of never seeing each other again, we are not very harmonious either.

There are only two brothers in Gu Mingjing's generation, and the eldest brother is far away in the west. He is too far away and can only come back to attend the wedding. He really can't help with arranging the wedding.

With all this in mind, doesn't that mean Meng Ying is the only candidate left? And she's a very suitable candidate, with strong connections to both families and a deep familiarity with Beijing. Who else could this important task be entrusted to?

Anyway, Meng Ying is extremely busy. If it weren't for their close friendship, she would have quit long ago.

Anyway, Jianshu’s ability to sweet-talk has improved a lot these days. If you don’t just say a few thanks and something nice, what if the person really runs away?

You have to coax her a little.

Couldn't Meng Ying see through her little trick? How could it be possible? It was just a matter of mutual consent.

After all, it was all voluntary, and both of them understood it.

Everything else is just a little change in the busy life.

There is a saying: No matter you are rich or poor, you should marry a wife and go home for the New Year.

Many families are keen to get married before the Lunar New Year, as having one more person in the family during the Lunar New Year makes it more lively. If the couple is a good match, they can have another child by the next Lunar New Year, which is a great joy.

Of course, in the past, most people chose to marry before the New Year because they had time to celebrate the wedding during the winter when farming was slack. Otherwise, how could they have the energy to do so during the busy farming season when they would have to get up early and go to bed late every day?

In the future, the same principle will hold true. Aside from National Day, the only longer holiday is during Chinese New Year. Family and friends, even those working away from home, will return, making weddings more lively and festive.

This led to many weddings held in the winter where the bride wore a wedding dress with cotton pants underneath, or a coat. Especially in the early years when air conditioning was not common and it was not popular to hold weddings in hotels, the bride suffered the most.

Maybe it was because there were too many unforgettable scenes of brides shivering and turning blue in the face on their wedding day when she was a child. Anyway, when she discussed with her friends about what kind of wedding she wanted to have when she grew up, Jianshu didn't have a clear answer in her mind.

But there was one thing she was determined to do: never hold a wedding in winter.

Even after she grew up, holding weddings in hotels became more and more popular. Even if the weather outside was 4 or 5 degrees Celsius, it was warm as spring inside and she would definitely not be cold. Her idea never changed.

Now that she is getting married, if you ask her what she is satisfied with, the first thing that comes out of her mouth is definitely not anything else, but the wedding date.

In early summer, everything warms up. There is neither the harsh cold of winter nor the scorching heat of midsummer. You can put on nice clothes, take off bulky outer clothes, and show yourself to the fullest.

It rained a little yesterday and the sky is still gloomy today. When the wind blows, I feel a little cold.

Jian Shu was standing at the exit of the train station, wearing a red knitted jacket, waiting. She was accompanied by Zhao Tianlei and Ding Ming.

The train station was as crowded as ever. Standing in the crowd, Jianshu stood on tiptoe and looked into the station.

"Why hasn't it arrived yet? What time is it? It should be here on time, right?" Zhao Tianlei walked around for a while and couldn't help asking.

Ding Ming raised his hand to check the time, frowned slightly and said, "It's about this time. Logically, Brother Gu should be here."

"Maybe something happened that delayed us, or the train was delayed. Let's wait a little longer, it should be out soon." As a good brother, he quickly found an excuse and defended him.

Are you kidding? This is his brother Gu's brother-in-law, and from the short time they have met, this brother-in-law is a difficult man to deal with. He has to deal with him well and not let him have any complaints.

Although there may be some opinions, the less the better.

As a married young man with two brothers-in-law, Ding Ming is very experienced.
