Thinking of his future spouse, Wan Tao raised an eyebrow.
He cleared his throat before speaking, "Um... you know the person I'm marrying, it's Battalion Commander Gu, Gu Siyu, who was just discharged from the army."
"?!" He Yanzhi's eyes showed a rare look of shock. "Are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious! You can't joke about something like this!"
Wan Tao knew there was a misunderstanding between Gu Siyu and Guan Wenru.
He then pulled out a chair and sat down in front of He Yanzhi. "Siyu knows she was wrong about what happened before, but she really didn't mean to hurt your lover that day."
"Since we'll all be living in the same compound from now on, we'll see each other all the time, so I was thinking... taking advantage of the wedding, let's have a dinner tonight to help Siyu and your partner reconcile. What do you think?"
He Yanzhi shook his head and refused almost without thinking, "Let this matter take its natural course, don't deliberately bring the two of them together."
As you said, they'll all be living in the family compound from now on, seeing each other all the time. If they can get along, they'll eventually become friends. If not... well, that's that, don't force it.
He hadn't known Guan Wenru for long, but he understood her personality.
She is kind-hearted, but also vindictive!
She wouldn't forgive Gu Siyu so easily. Even he minded Gu Siyu's actions, so he couldn't force Guan Wenru to forgive someone who tried to hurt her.
Wan Tao came with a mission today. Upon hearing He Yanzhi's words, he immediately became unhappy and continued to persuade him, "Yanzhi, we are brothers after all. You don't want to see our wives getting along like fire and water, do you?"
Today is the day Siyu and I got our marriage certificate. Siyu said that after we get the certificate, she will move into the family compound, give out wedding candies to the military families in the compound, and then start preparing a table of dishes to invite everyone over for dinner tonight.
Why don't you bring Mr. Guan and your partner over? What happened before wasn't serious; maybe a meal together will make things better, and you'll be able to get along well from now on. What do you think?
“I don’t care what I think.” He Yanzhi said without any room for negotiation, “You may think it’s a small matter, but for Guan Wenru, it was not a small matter. She was frightened at the time.”
If you put yourself in her shoes, imagine how she must have been traumatized when she first arrived in this unfamiliar place and was suddenly whipped by a female soldier.
Although Gu Siyu did not physically harm her, she was certainly frightened, and I cannot forgive anyone on her behalf.
We are brothers, that's true, but it's Guan Wenru's freedom to make friends with whomever she wants. I won't interfere, nor do I have the right to.
If she and Gu Siyu can get along, I believe they have plenty of opportunities to reconcile and become friends.
If they can't get along, I don't want to force her to do anything as her lover.
Besides, Grandma Guan probably doesn't know what Gu Siyu did. It's best not to tell Grandma Guan about this, otherwise… given her protective nature, she might not give your wife a good look!
"..." Wan Tao had also heard about Mr. Guan's decisive and efficient nature.
Hearing He Yanzhi say that, he was indeed a little scared.
Seeing Wan Tao's expression soften, He Yanzhi tapped the table. "Alright, you can't force these things."
Seeing his insistence, Wan Tao had nothing to say, only instructing him, "Mr. Guan and your wife aren't coming, but you have to come tonight. We're just getting the marriage certificate; we won't have any ceremony afterwards."
"Okay, I'll definitely attend your wedding banquet. I'll be there tonight."
Regardless of his feelings for Gu Siyu, Wan Tao was indeed his comrade-in-arms.
He absolutely had to attend Wan Tao's wedding banquet.
Seeing that he agreed, Wan Tao stood up. "Okay, then I won't bother you anymore. I need to hurry up and get ready to take my wife to get our marriage certificate. Starting tonight, I'll have a beautiful wife to hold, and I won't have to envy someone anymore."
"..." He Yanzhi could hear the smugness in his tone and almost rolled his eyes.
Although he didn't say it, he did feel in his heart that Wan Tao's marriage was... somewhat hasty.
Wan Tao had been married once, but his wife died in childbirth during their second pregnancy.
His first wife left him with two children.
He had heard Wan Tao mention before that his mother would bring the two children to join him when they reached school age.
Gu Siyu could whip a female comrade he had just met; he didn't think she could be a good stepmother or treat Wan Tao's two children well.
Therefore, he felt that Wan Tao and Gu Siyu were not a good match.
However, seeing Wan Tao's smiling face, seemingly very happy about the marriage, he didn't say anything.
Furthermore, speaking of hasty decisions... his marriage was even more hasty than Wan Tao's, so he really has no right to say anything.
...
After getting up and having breakfast, Guan Wenru rode her bicycle to the livestock station.
Lu Guodong and Wang Dagui were so diligent; when she arrived, they had already milked the cows and goats.
In addition, they also cleaned the cattle and sheep sheds.
As soon as she arrived, the two greeted her with freshly milked cow and goat milk, saying, "Xiao Guan, everything here is ready. Shall we go and boil this milk first?"
“Okay.” Guan Wenru stepped forward and picked up another basin of goat milk.
The group arrived at the logistics kitchen.
Yu Peng and others helped filter the cow's milk and goat's milk.
Even something as simple as starting a fire didn't require Guan Wenru to lift a finger.
The logistics team is ready.
Guan Wenru was only responsible for stirring the milk and goat milk after they boiled, and secretly adding sugar to them.
Yu Peng and his colleagues even learned how to add flower tea to goat milk.
