When Liu Jiu returned home after her break, Mu Nanfang immediately came over.
"Six Nine, are all the materials ready? Let's go."
"Everything's ready, let's go."
Both of them were wearing black pants and white shirts, looking youthful and beautiful. They walked out of the house hand in hand, attracting quite a few glances.
"That's the Gu family's daughter, right? Who's the girl she's holding hands with? She looks unfamiliar."
"You don't know this, do you? That's the son of the Air Force Commander, who just returned from studying abroad."
"Really? Is it true? I've never heard of it?"
"I heard it from the old man in my family. He said that once the Gu family and the Mu family get married, things will be very different from now on!"
"Not getting married is not bad either, everyone knows how capable the Gu family's children are."
...
Liu Jiu and Mu Nanfang couldn't hear the chatter in the courtyard; their minds were focused on their destination: the Civil Affairs Bureau.
"Liu Jiu, we're getting married!"
"Mu Nanfang, we're going to live together from now on!"
As they left the Civil Affairs Bureau, the two of them held the two pieces of paper proving their marital relationship, feeling both excited and cherishing the moment.
From the first flutter of their hearts in their youth to today, they have participated in each other's growth and gradually integrated into each other's lives. There are truly so many beautiful memories.
"Sixty-nine, let's go home!"
"Okay, let's go home."
Their hands, intertwined, never let go. Through their hands, they could feel each other's presence, which brought them peace of mind.
"Mom and Dad, we're back."
"Mom and Dad, we got our marriage certificate!"
Hearing Mu Nanfang call out so naturally, Gu Ye's initial awkwardness dissipated. His daughter was married, and he had gained a son-in-law; that was fine.
"Okay, from now on you two will be each other's closest people. Your parents will pass away before you, and your children will grow up and have their own lives. I hope you can stay together until old age, from youth to twilight, relying on each other."
Bonnie felt her eyes getting a little moist. When she arrived, she was actually around 69 years old.
"Alright, go to Nanfang's house and see his parents. They're waiting for you."
Gu Ye quietly took Bao Ni's hand; they were meant to be together for life.
"Okay, Mom and Dad!"
Liu Jiu and Mu Nanfang turned and left again. Gu Ye hugged his wife and went to work.
The Mu family, Commander Mu is also at home waiting.
"Dad, Dad, my brother and sister are back, and they're holding hands."
Mu Jiaojiao saw the two people who entered the yard through the window. They ran over to deliver the message, followed by her little niece. The two of them looked quite comical.
"You're back?"
Mother Mu sat upright, her eyes glancing at the doorway from time to time. Her youngest son had waited so many years, and finally he had brought her home to marry her. It hadn't been easy!
"Mom and Dad, we're getting married!"
Mu Nanfang's excitement was impossible to hide. He had been holding it in for fear of upsetting his father-in-law.
"Hey buddy, your mouth is practically splitting open to your ears! Are you that happy? Didn't Uncle Gu hit you earlier?"
Mu Jiaojiao's mouth ran ahead while her brain chased behind. After she finished speaking, she looked at her brother with a timid expression.
Mu Nanfang was in a good mood today and didn't want to bother with his brainless younger sister.
"Mom and Dad, I'm here!"
"Ah, it's good that you're here, everyone's been waiting for this."
Mother Mu was surprised that Liu Jiu changed his address so smoothly; she hadn't prepared a change-of-address fee.
"You've registered your marriage, when are you planning to have the wedding?"
Commander Mu wasn't thinking about those things; he was concerned about future arrangements.
"Dad, we're going to attend the army's group wedding next month."
"By participating in the group wedding, Liu Jiu can apply for family housing, and we'll move in directly. We'll find some time to take our wedding photos first; nowadays, photo studios specialize in wedding-themed photos."
Mu Nanfang explained what they had agreed on, and from now on, he and Liu Jiu could live their own lives.
"You live on your own, not at home?"
Mother Mu looked surprised. There was enough space in the house, and there were even housekeepers. How convenient!
"No, we need to live as a couple. We'll talk about it later."
Mu Nanfang didn't want the whole family to live together. He had been looking forward to this for so many years and just wanted to spend time alone with Liu Jiu.
"Okay, it's good for you to learn how to live your own lives."
"Liu Jiu, do your parents know you're going to participate in a group wedding?"
"I know, I told them, and they agreed."
"That's good. You two are the main characters in the wedding. Your happiness is the most important thing. Jiaojiao's mom, give them the settlement money you prepared for them later."
"Okay, everything is ready."
Mother Mu got up and went into the house. She gave each of her three sons a portion, without favoritism.
Thank you, Mom and Dad!
Liu Jiu and Mu Nanfang accepted the large red envelopes handed over by Mu's mother and expressed their sincere gratitude.
Commander Mu went to work in a good mood, and Liu Jiu was overjoyed to have entered the Gu family's home!
In the following days, Liu Jiu applied for family housing, and Mu Nanfang began to furnish their new home.
After he returned, the school assigned him a job, and he chose to stay and teach. It wasn't that he lacked ambition, but rather that it was a decision made after careful consideration.
Liu Jiu will remain in the military, so his schedule won't be very flexible. He'll try to take better care of his family in the future. Most importantly, the computer field is still relatively new in China, and he wants to share his knowledge with more people.
Before school starts, Mu Nanfang wants to decorate his little home.
During his years abroad, besides studying hard, Mu Nanfang also worked two jobs and earned some money. With money from his parents and his in-laws, their little family was quite well-off.
He really didn't expect that his wife was a wealthy woman with savings and a house. His aunt, no, his mother-in-law, was really amazing!
In October, at the army's mass wedding, Liu Jiu wasn't wearing her uniform, but a long red dress, just like all the other brides. Mu Nanfang wasn't wearing his uniform either; he was dressed in a Zhongshan suit, looking like a nobleman from the Republic of China era.
As the cannons fired, the newlyweds, one after another, walked out with big smiles on their faces.
Outside, there were their relatives, military leaders, and close comrades-in-arms! Their wedding was special, meaningful, and witnessed by the national flag.
Mu Nanfang held Liu Jiu's hand, his mind replaying their first meeting, his sudden attraction, Liu Jiu's innocent ignorance, and their eventual mutual affection...
"Gu Yuechu, I love you!"
"Mu Nanfang, I love you!"
They held hands and walked together towards another starting point in their lives.
