The Lu family celebrated a joyous New Year. Lu Desheng smiled from ear to ear every day. After the New Year, the second son Lu Jiefang was getting married, and in the second half of the year, there would be a grandson. It was double happiness!
In comparison, the Mo family seemed a bit deserted.
Mo Heping lived at home to recuperate and needed someone to take care of him, so Mo Qiufeng invited Bai Huanxi to come over and paid him 15 yuan a month.
Bai Huanxi is smart, good at reading people's expressions, and can cook delicious dishes. Moreover, with her at home, Xie Taozhi smiles more often, and Mo Qiufeng is very satisfied with this.
Lu Jiefang and Bi Ying's wedding was scheduled for early March. Ruan Qiqi planned to go to Xiangjiang to attend Xia Tao and Gan Defa's wedding banquet after the wedding banquet.
Bi Ying's health has improved a lot. Ruan Qiqi has a good impression of this girl and gave her some supplements such as ginseng and ganoderma lucidum. If she continues to recover at this rate, she will definitely be able to get pregnant and have a baby successfully.
On the eighth day of March, Lu Jiefang and Bi Ying set up a banquet with more than ten tables at the Xiangjiang Hotel. Bi Ying's parents and younger brother also arrived. Her younger brother was named Bi Quan, who was ten years younger than Bi Ying and was still in school.
When Bi's mother gave birth to Bi Ying, she was born prematurely, and both the adult and the child were not in good condition. The doctor said that Bi's mother would most likely not be able to get pregnant again. Although Bi's father felt regretful, he did not accept the fact, so he named his daughter Bi Ying, which is a homonym of Bi Ying.
Bi's father treated his daughter like a son and raised her carefully. Although his rank was not low, he had never won a battle, which was a lifelong regret for him.
Therefore, he wanted to train his daughter to be a brave and skilled female general, so that she could fight bravely on the battlefield and be praised by others.
"Mr. Bi lost and gave birth to a daughter who is Mr. Winner. How amazing!"
Unfortunately, Bi Ying had been weak since childhood and it was not easy to raise her. Bi's father and mother spent a lot of effort to raise their daughter to this age. It was impossible for her to become a female general because she would not pass the physical examination.
Fortunately, Bi Ying was very intelligent. He entered the first grade at the age of five and skipped grades all the way. When he was fifteen, there was nothing left for him to learn in school, so he went directly to university. At the age of twenty, he became a radio expert and was specially recruited by the army.
Later, I met Lu Jiefang while teaching at a military academy.
As for Bi Quan, she was an unexpected surprise to Bi's father and mother. Bi's father was worried about his wife's advanced age and poor health, and was afraid that something might happen during delivery, so he planned to have an abortion, but Bi's mother was strongly opposed.
She must give birth to this child, even at the cost of her life.
Fortunately, both mother and child are safe in the end. Bi Quan has been in good health since he was young. He has never been to the hospital since he was a child. He has very high physical strength and IQ.
Therefore, Bi's father is now determined to guide his son to join the army, and the effect is quite good. After graduating from high school, Bi Quan will go to the army for training.
The guests had not arrived yet, and Ruan Qiqi had nothing to do, so she went to the Bi family's table to chat. Lu Desheng was also there. He and Bi's father had known each other for decades, and now they were in-laws, and their relationship was even closer.
Everyone in the Bi family is easy to get along with, but Bi's father still looks down on Lu Jiefang and feels that his daughter has married down from her parents' level.
"I can't figure it out now, why do you like that stick?"
Father Bi glanced at Lu Jiefang who was receiving guests in the distance and sighed with regret.
His daughter is talented, beautiful, and comes from a good family. She is worthy of any outstanding man. Why does she insist on marrying a stupid fool?
There’s no need to worry that the child born won’t even be able to calculate 1+1!
"Dad, it's good to be liberated."
Bi Ying smiled and was very satisfied with Lu Jiefang.
"Apart from his good health, what else is good about him?" Bi's father said angrily.
Even in front of Lu Desheng, he did not hide his disgust at all. After all, what he said was the truth.
"Old Bi, what you said is meaningless. My Jiefang is not as smart as Xiaoying, but he is in good health. Your Xiaoying is in poor health but smart. They complement each other perfectly. The baby they have in the future will have the brains of your Xiaoying and the body of my Jiefang, and will be both civil and military. How wonderful!"
Lu Desheng was not angry, and he spoke to Bi's father in a gentle tone.
After all, his son did marry a girl of higher status, so even if he was her biological father, he had to admit that his daughter-in-law was better than his son.
"What if my brain follows my brother's and my body follows my second sister-in-law's?"
Lu Yuanchao, who was walking over, replied casually.
"It's not impossible. There's a fifty percent chance!"
Cui Xiongwei also answered the call quickly.
"If it wasn't your brother's wedding today, I would beat...beat you!"
Lu Desheng changed his mind and said that it was unlucky not to talk about death at a wedding.
He glared at Cui Xiongwei again. Since he was not his biological son, he could not scold him, but he could glare at him.
"Let me tell you, the older idiot gave birth to the younger idiot. Your whole family is full of idiots!"
Father Bi was angry and helpless. His head started buzzing when he thought about having stupid in-laws, a stupid son-in-law, and maybe even a stupid grandson in the future.
"Uncle Bi, my Lu Ye is not like that. He is very smart!"
Ruan Qiqi reminded that one should not generalize to the whole group.
"Yes, your man is smart!"
Bi's father admires Lu Ye very much, and he has absolutely no objection if his daughter marries Lu Ye.
"Can a club win battles every day? Can a club achieve merit? How come you can't win if you are smart?"
Lu Desheng sneered and exposed Bi's father's shortcomings.
Mr. Bi's face immediately darkened. He wanted to retort, but he was speechless.
What Lu Desheng said was true. This old idiot really won battles every day. It was really weird. He was so smart and had read so many military books, but he couldn't win a battle.
It’s so unfair!
"Today is a happy occasion for the children. Are you done yet?"
Bi's mother spoke.
The two old men glared at each other, neither of them was dissatisfied, but they dared not argue anymore.
Ruan Qiqi sat next to Bi Ying and asked in a low voice: "What do you like about Lu Jiefang? I'm also very curious."
"When I was a kid, I picked up a little black dog. Its eyes were barely open and it was very small. My parents said it was impossible to raise it, but I wanted to give it a try, so I named it Heidan. The old people said a humble name would help it to grow up."
Bi Ying smiled, her eyes full of nostalgia, as if she was missing an old friend.
"Puppies can't drink cow's milk, so my mother helped me get goat's milk and fed it with a syringe. It tried hard to finish the milk every time. Later, Heidan grew up safely and was very strong. When I was a child, I was often hospitalized. Heidan would find the hospital by himself to accompany me. Although he couldn't speak, he could understand what I said. He was very smart, caring and warm!"
When Bi Ying talked about Heidan, his eyes and brows became gentle.
"How is Heidan now?"
Ruan Qiqi asked.
"Before I met Lu Jiefang, Heidan had just passed away. He died in my arms, a natural death. But I still felt very sad, as if a piece of my heart had been cut out and there was nothing to fill it. My parents didn't understand. They thought it was unreasonable for me to ruin my body for a dog, but they didn't understand my feelings for Heidan."
Tears welled up in Bi Ying's eyes. Ruan Qiqi patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, "I understand. Heidan is more than just a dog. He is your closest family member."
"Thank you for your understanding. I was in a very bad state during that period and couldn't even carry out my work until I accidentally saw Lu Jiefang..."
Biying paused and couldn't help laughing.
Ruan Qiqi blinked, and had a guess in her mind, and asked in a low voice: "Do you think Lu Jiefang looks like Heidan?"
To be honest, this silly guy does have some loyal dog attributes.
Bi Ying nodded. "When I first saw him, I felt that he had the shadow of Heidan, silly, obedient, and loyal. Qiqi, do you find it incredible?"
"No, no, no, I think it's normal."
Ruan Qiqi shook her head vigorously and used a lot of effort to hold back her laughter.
She looked at Lu Jiefang who was warmly welcoming guests in the distance, and the corners of her mouth twitched. Does this silly guy know that he is a substitute for the dog?
