"No, Yao Yao, it was an accident, don't overthink it." Boss Zhao couldn't bear to see this and tried to comfort Xie Yu Yao.
Then, he pulled Yang Chunhua out of the room, exasperated: "Go ahead and cause trouble, do you have to drive your son and daughter-in-law apart before you're satisfied?"
"I didn't do it on purpose," Yang Chunhua muttered.
Boss Zhao scolded again: "We're overjoyed that Yao Yao and Hong Hui can rekindle their romance. Look at you, what kind of behavior is this? No wonder Hong Hui is angry, even I am angry."
Knowing she was in the wrong, Yang Chunhua had nothing to pretend about in front of her husband, so she stopped being stubborn and turned to cook porridge for her eldest son.
When Zhao Honghui woke up, it was already getting late.
He opened his drowsy eyes and found the light was dim; Yao Yao was asleep beside his bed.
He reached out and tried to stroke Yao Yao's head.
With that movement, Xie Yuyao asked, "How are you? Still feeling unwell?"
"No, I'm fine." Zhao Honghui gave a wry smile.
"Whether it's alright or not is not up to you to decide. Don't forget, I'm a medic now, not an actress like I was in Beijing," Xie Yuyao said with feigned ease.
Zhao Honghui smiled and placed his hand over hers. "Yaoyao, I'm sorry."
"Have you fallen for someone else?"
Zhao Honghui: ......
"So don't overthink it. Let bygones be bygones. I didn't hold it against you, so why should you hold a grudge?" Xie Yuyao deliberately put on a serious face and said, "Besides, I had already decided that if you came back when I was single, I would still marry you. But if you appeared in front of me when you were old and gray, then I would definitely have a house full of children and grandchildren."
Zhao Honghui was filled with mixed feelings, unsure whether to be angry or amused. He pulled Yao Yao close and let her lean against his chest. "Yao Yao, what should I do?"
"It's very simple, listen carefully." Xie Yuyao cleared her throat, pulled up the "Twenty-Four Filial Husbands of Later Generations" from her spatial storage, and highlighted the key points:
First, every morning when I get up. You have to prepare breakfast first, then wake me up. Hmm, that's easy.
Secondly, he has to drive me to work and pick me up from work every day, rain or shine. Well, that depends on the schedule.
Third, I will do all the housework myself, ensuring I never have to lift a finger. Hehe, that's a bit of a challenge.
There are still four, five, six, seven, all the way up to twenty-four, you have a lot to do, so relax and get well soon, okay?
Zhao Honghui nodded solemnly, saying he would do his best to fulfill every single one of them.
From the moment he fell in love, he had already decided to spend the rest of his life with Yao Yao. Now, with his own mother's arrogant attitude, he was even more determined to protect Yao Yao.
Therefore, he must not fall.
Xie Yuyao ate dinner at the Zhao family's house. Zhao Honghui had a weak spleen and stomach and could only drink porridge. Xie Yuyao didn't have much of an appetite, but she also drank a bowl of porridge.
After dinner, it was already dark, and Xie Yuyao had to go back.
Ignoring everyone's advice, Zhao Honghui sent Xie Yuyao back to the educated youth compound.
Upon arriving at the backyard, Zhao Honghui was filled with reluctance: "If only we could get married tomorrow."
Lost in his affectionate gaze, Xie Yuyao blurted out, almost as if possessed, "Then why not do it today?"
After they finished speaking, their hearts started pounding, their minds completely occupied by this crazy idea.
"It's too rushed, we can't have a grand celebration." Zhao Honghui felt a fire burning inside him, but he hesitated before speaking.
"It's up to you, I'm fine with anything." Xie Yuyao had already learned from Boss Zhao that Zhao Honghui had chosen a date five days from now from the perpetual calendar. Anyway, the two of them were inseparable for life, so a few days earlier or later wouldn't make any difference.
As for her reputation, it was already ruined when she went to find Zhao Honghui after breaking off the engagement.
Even if Zhao Honghui hadn't experienced the dangers of the glacier, there would still have been plenty of gossip surrounding them if they had continued their relationship. The fact that she resolutely broke off the engagement back then showed that she already knew what was truly important to her.
Now, she knows even more clearly that as long as Zhao Honghui is with her, she is not afraid of any storms or thunder.
"Then tomorrow, we'll use the brigade's large canteen and treat the whole village to tea and fruit." Zhao Honghui had attended many of his comrades' weddings in the army; they were all like tea parties, where people would eat tea and chat, and once the ceremony was over, they were husband and wife.
"Okay, that's quite unique." Xie Yuyao had never seen such a scene before, and she felt it was quite fun.
Fortunately, Zhao Honghui's health is not suitable for strenuous work and drinking, so we won't follow the traditional procedures or go through so many formalities.
Zhao Honghui was so excited he couldn't stop talking, "Then tomorrow morning we'll go to the commune to take photos and get our marriage certificates, then go to the supply and marketing cooperative or the county town to buy some candy, pastries, etc. Oh, and tea, teaware..."
"Don't rush, I'll get paper and pen, let's write them down one by one so we don't miss any." Xie Yuyao turned around to get paper and pen, her face beaming with joy.
The most crucial item, the wedding attire, had already been prepared by the couple. As for the other betrothal gifts and dowry, as long as they had the money, everything else would be easy to arrange.
By the time the two of them finished listing the items one by one, half an hour had passed.
Zhao Honghui left reluctantly. When he passed the brigade leader's house, he knocked on the door and told him that he wanted to borrow the canteen to hold his wedding.
The captain was stunned. "Do your parents know?"
He had already heard about what happened during the day, and thought that getting married in five days was already rushed enough, but he didn't expect that he would change the date to tomorrow.
"I'll go back and tell them right away."
Captain: ...
After returning home, Zhao Honghui told his family about his crazy decision.
The Zhao family: ......
"Honghui, you're still not fully recovered, shouldn't you take a break?" Boss Zhao said tactfully.
He had learned about his eldest son's health condition from Old Master Sun and was really afraid that he would hold on until his wish was fulfilled after the wedding and then collapse.
"I'm fine, Dad. Tomorrow, Yao Yao and I will go get our marriage certificate, then buy some tea and snacks, and have the wedding at the cafeteria in the evening." Zhao Honghui told his family about the wedding arrangements.
Clearly, regardless of their attitude, he was determined to get married.
Yang Chunhua hesitated, afraid that she might upset her eldest son again. She couldn't understand why Xie Yuyao would agree to such a hasty marriage, and such a simple wedding at that.
Which girl doesn't want to have a grand and spectacular wedding?
"Okay then, you and Yao Yao go get your marriage certificate, Dad will go buy things, and your mom will go notify the relatives." Seeing that Zhao Honghui had no room for negotiation, Zhao Laoda began to make arrangements.
"Try the suit I made before and see if it fits." Last time Zhao Honghui went on an emergency mission, even though his return date was uncertain, Yang Chunhua still made him a suit.
"No need, I've already bought a suit in Beijing to be my groom's attire." When Zhao Honghui accompanied Xie Yuyao to have her wedding dress made, he also thought of the suit his mother had made at home.
However, Yao Yao had urgently ordered a very fashionable wedding dress, and if his clothes didn't match, it would only make him look ridiculous, so he also ordered a suit.
Yang Chunhua felt terrible; it seemed that in just one day, she had become a superfluous and useless person.
