Chapter 110 Sulan's Wedding
August 20th was a sunny day, and Sulan got married.
Early in the morning, Ma Siqing asked Tong Shiyu to look after the three children, and she got up to help Sulan dress up.
The color of Sulan's clothes today was similar to Chen Xiaowei's military uniform, except that there were big red flowers on her hair and clothes.
When Sulan was dressed, Tong Shiyu came over with the children. Tong Shiyu was carrying Guoguo on his back, holding Dashuang and Xiaoshuang in his hands.
Uncle Wu saw it and hurriedly took Dashuang.
The three children were not shy, probably because they knew that the people they saw were all friendly to their parents!
Dashuang went into Uncle Wu's arms and smiled sweetly at Uncle Wu, which made Uncle Wu's heart melt.
Xiaojun asked for leave to come back to attend his sister's wedding.
Xiaohai and Xiaomei were busy at home.
Their family had worked hard for a whole year just to give Sulan a decent wedding.
The money given by Chen Xiaowei and the betrothal gifts were all put into Sulan's dowry box.
Xiaojun said that now he could also earn money to support the family, so he didn't have to worry about his sister and brother-in-law's money.
As long as the family worked hard, they could live a good life.
In September, Xiaohai was going to high school, and Xiaomei was going to junior high school. They could do odd jobs in their free time, so living expenses were not a problem.
At nine o'clock, Chen Xiaowei, accompanied by Zhong Guofan and two cousins, came to pick up Sulan on a 28-bar bicycle.
Ma Siqing sent Sulan out, and Chen Xiaowei took Sulan for a ride around Danjiang City.
On the way, Fang Shiming saw Sulan sitting on the back seat of a 28-inch bicycle, smiling like a flower, looking particularly beautiful. Thinking of his own daughter-in-law, he suddenly regretted it.
If he had known earlier, he would have tried to snatch her away.
He didn't expect Sulan to marry a military officer, a handsome and talented military officer. Fang Shiming cursed Sulan in his heart, calling her a vixen.
After a tour of Danjiang, he returned to Sulan's home.
The wedding ceremony was held at Sulan's home.
In this way, Sulan officially married Chen Xiaowei.
The wedding room was also decorated at Sulan's home. Chen Xiaowei's family visit leave plus the wedding lasted for a total of 40 days.
After the vacation, he would decide whether Sulan would follow the army or stay in Danjiang.
No one was invited to the wedding, just a few female workers in the textile factory who were closely related to Sulan, Sulan's uncle, and cousins.
There was no one at Uncle Wu's place.
Then it was Ma Siqing's family.
There were only three tables of people in total. Sulan and Tong Shiyu helped to cook, and Xiaojun assisted.
Uncle Wu, Xiaohai, and Xiaomei took the three children to play in the main room.
The three children were eleven months old and could stand steadily with the help of something, but they didn't dare to walk with their legs wide open.
They were babbling and very cute.
Ma Siqing gave Sulan her own gift. The red envelope contained a gift of one hundred yuan, and two sets of clothes that Ma Siqing had sewn for Sulan herself.
Sulan felt that having Ma Siqing as a friend in her life was enough. Ma Siqing always gave half of her penny to Sulan.
Sulan was unable to attend Ma Siqing's wedding in person, which has always been her regret.
So when the three babies were one month old, Sulan went to the army with great difficulty to congratulate Ma Siqing.
If Sulan also followed the army in the future, the two could be together.
Although there were not many people at the wedding, everyone's face was filled with smiles.
Ma Siqing calculated the time. There was still one year and two months left before the movement was over. By then, the hard days would be over, and every day in the future would be a good life.
Sulan's house was bustling for three days and three nights.
It turned out that Ma Siqing's neighbors came to visit Ma Siqing when they learned that Ma Siqing was back.
Although Ma Siqing only stayed here for a short time, these sisters-in-law also bought a lot of cloth from Ma Siqing.
Seeing that Ma Siqing was living well, the sisters-in-law were happy for her.
After Sulan's wedding, Chen Xiaowei lived in Sulan's house.
He did not go back to the village, but helped Sulan with housework and cleaning.
Ma Siqing and Tong Shiyu lived next door. Sulan was happy for Ma Siqing when she saw the three healthy children.
Zhang Xiao'e knew that Ma Siqing had returned to Danjiang, but she did not dare to come to see Ma Siqing.
After Lin Chunhua went to Beijing, she never wrote a letter home, and no one knew how she was doing.
Lin Chunyu was already fourteen years old and should have been in junior high school, but no matter how Zhang Xiao'e persuaded him, he would not go to school or go out.
Chen Xiaowei and Sulan were like conjoined twins. Wherever Sulan went, Chen Xiaowei would follow.
After the marriage, Sulan went to work, and Chen Xiaowei helped with cooking and housework at home.
Uncle Wu got such a diligent and handsome son-in-law in vain, and he always had a smile on his face.
Xiaojun returned to the arsenal after Sulan's wedding. Although he had just arrived, he was hardworking and well-educated, and was highly valued by the factory.
Tong Shiyu's home visit leave was about to end. The family of five took a car directly from Danjiang to Yi City, and then took a train back to the army.
Before going back, the neighbors' sisters-in-law chatted with Ma Siqing, and Ma Siqing learned about Dong Dashan's fate.
He has been locked up. Dong Dashan has been domineering in Danjiang for more than ten years, and he has committed countless crimes.
He is likely to be sentenced to death.
As for Bai Xiuzhi, she has been sent to a labor camp. Although she is an educated youth from Beijing, she will never be able to return to Beijing in her lifetime because of the crimes of attempted murder and promiscuous relationships committed in Danjiang.
Someone who just came back from the labor camp brought news about Yao Guozhu. Yao Guozhu had a very miserable life in the labor camp. Both
his hands and legs were broken, and his right leg was lame because of the serious injury.
Yao Jun'an and Yan Ping are now in Hai City and have never returned.
Ma Siqing learned that the Yao family was actually connected with the Yang family and the Rong family in Beijing, and she silently took note of it in her heart.
She was afraid that after the movement was over, the two families would make trouble and set traps for her again.
Mrs. Chen learned that Ma Siqing had returned to Danjiang, and she also came to tell Ma Siqing that Lin Chunhua seemed to have replaced Ma Siqing's identity and went to the Ma family in Jingshi to become a rich lady. She felt sorry for Ma Siqing.
Ma Siqing was surprised. Did Ma Shuhua repeat the same mistakes in this life?
But from what Mrs. Chen said, it seemed that it was not the Ma family of Ma Shuhua.
Cheng Sihua would write to Ma Siqing from time to time, and the letter did not mention this matter!
But Ma Siqing didn't care. Ma Shuhua was free to do whatever she
wanted. In this life, she didn't so long for the love of her biological parents.
But Mrs. Chen said that Lin Chunhua seemed to have married the Xu family in Jingshi, and the son of that family was most likely a lunatic.
Ma Siqing was curious how Mrs. Chen knew so much.
Mrs. Chen said that her sister-in-law had just returned from Jingshi some time ago.
The sister-in-law works as a nanny in the Wang family in Beijing City and has heard people talking about Lin Chunhua.
Lin Chunhua is now locked up, waiting for Lin Chunhua to give birth to a child so that the Xu family can continue the family line.
She is often beaten by her lover, and it is common for her to be covered with bruises.
Ma Siqing thinks that all this is her own fault. Others cannot interfere with everyone's choices, but everyone can choose how to live their own life.
Ma Siqing sat on the train, looking in the direction of Danjiang. She can finally wave goodbye to the first half of her life. From now on, every day will be sweet.
