Su Le looked at the nervousness and excitement written on Xu Jiaojiao's face with amusement.
Yao Cuifang arrived in Beijing in the morning. Li Zichen, wearing a military uniform, was waiting at the entrance of the train station in a military vehicle. Li Zichen saw his mother coming out with a package and went forward to pick it up.
Yao Cuifang asked nervously, "Youngest, I don't know what to bring! Can you take me to the mall here to buy something?"
Li Zichen said, "Mom, no need, everything is ready here."
Yao Cuifang pulled out 523.15 from her pocket and said, "I'm sure Su Zhiqing's family will ask for a betrothal gift. Is this enough?"
Li Zichen felt uncomfortable looking at Yao Cuifang's expression, "Mom, where did you get the money?"
"Your sisters-in-law gave it to me." Yao Cuifang said.
Li Zichen felt warm in his heart, "Mom, Su Zhiqing's family is easy to get along with, you don't have to be so nervous."
Yao Cuifang was still worried and couldn't let it go, so she insisted on going to buy something.
Li Zichen had no choice but to open the trunk of the car, which was filled with gifts. She felt relieved and carefully took off her coat to put on the gift box, fearing that it would get dirty and she would have to explain to Li Zichen when he got home.
Li Zichen took out his coat, sat next to her, and patted Yao Cuifang's hand in a soothing manner.
Li Zichen asked the soldier to greet Su Le, and Su Le's family also prepared tea, melon seeds, sugar and fruit for the reception.
The driver followed Li Zichen's instructions and drove to the gate of the Su family compound. Yao Cuifang looked at the huge courtyard and became even more uneasy.
Xiaobing and Li Zichen took the things out of the car, knocked on the door, and Su Xiao came out to open it.
Yao Cuifang followed behind Li Zichen. The soldier saluted Su Xiao and followed behind with the things in his hand.
Su Xiao took them into the study. Su Fugui, Chen Yao, and Su Le were all dressed formally.
Chen Yao smiled and said, "This is Zichen's mother, right? Please take a seat."
Yao Cuifang sat on the sofa with Li Zichen, her buttocks leaning forward. She didn't know how to start. She fidgeted.
Su Fugui glared at Su Le, but Su Le's eyes were fixed on Li Zichen and he didn't pay any attention.
Chen Yao asked, "Sister Yao, regarding the wedding, we..."
Yao Cuifang immediately took out 500 yuan from her pocket and put it on the table. "Dowry, I know it's not enough. Our family is from the countryside. This is something my daughters-in-law lent me. Don't worry, my father-in-law, I will definitely pay it back myself. From now on, the youngest son's salary will go to Su Le. I know that our youngest son did something wrong. I've already told him off and even beat him. If he dares to treat Su Zhiqing badly in the future, I won't let him into the ancestral tomb..."
Su Fugui and Chen Yao didn't interrupt her. They were indeed upset about this matter. They had not agreed to it, but just informed her. After listening to what Yao Cuifang said, they finally hardened their hearts.
Su Fugui let go of his prejudice. He was clear-headed and didn't have to worry about Su Le being bullied.
Chen Yao smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, you are too polite. Let's talk about the wedding."
Li Zichen said, "I plan to hold my wedding in the army and have already applied for it. I'll be with Brother Xiao."
Su Fugui nodded. "It's a good arrangement. The journey is very close. When Su Le gets married, you can take her over. I looked at the calendar yesterday. The fifth day of next month is a good date, but it's a bit tight. What do you think, mother-in-law?"
Yao Cuifang smiled and said, "There are still ten days left. There's still time."
Li Zichen nodded. "You can take some time off to prepare at the military. Wife, should we prepare the wedding dresses yourself?"
Su Le smiled and said, "I'll prepare it myself, you just wear your military uniform."
Li Zichen nodded. Su Le invited Zhang Liang back to help with cooking, and the family sat at the stone table. Xu Jiaojiao, Xu Sheng, and Xia Le did not live here, so they ate their own meals next door.
Yao Cuifang felt relieved.
Yao Cuifang followed Li Zichen back to the house in the military compound. Yao Cuifang said to Li Zichen, "This is your new house. It's not suitable for me to live in it. Why don't we live outside?"
The commissar's wife happened to be pouring water when she overheard this. She walked up to Li Zichen and said, "Is this your mother?"
Li Zichen nodded, "Sister-in-law."
The commissar's wife said, "I just heard that you are preparing a new house. I have a room here, what do you think?"
Li Zichen wanted to give his wife the best, but he didn't want to let his mother down.
"I'll go, but I'm sorry to bother the leader." Yao Cuifang said quickly.
The commissar's wife smiled and waved her hand, "It's not a big deal. Come in."
Yao Cuifang followed in and ruthlessly gave the political commissar's wife a hundred yuan. "Excuse me, I may need to stay for a while."
The political commissar's wife refused to accept it, so Li Zichen said, "Please accept it, sister-in-law. Otherwise, my mother will be worried."
The political commissar's wife looked at the political commissar, who nodded and said, "Li Zichen, come with me."
Li Zichen walked over and said, "Political Commissar."
The political commissar said rudely, "Now that you have a wife, you've forgotten your mother, right? You won't even let me live at home?"
Li Zichen was speechless for a moment.
The commissar continued, "This is the first time, and the last time."
Li Zichen nodded and said, "After we got married, my mother moved there."
The political commissar snorted in annoyance. Li Zichen placed the things in Yao Cuifang's room and apologized to her, "Mom, I'm sorry for putting you through this."
Yao Cuifang said to him, "The Su family is a respectable family, and you have already done something wrong once." Yao Cuifang asked him to leave.
Su Le put together a white diamond wedding dress and a Chinese Hanfu wedding dress, "Jiaojiao, which one do you choose?"
