As the spring breeze caresses the face, tender green vines sprout from the ground at the foot of the fence in the courtyard, spreading upwards along the fence and covering the entire wall.
Ji Min sat under the locust tree, looking at the flowers and plants she had planted with her own hands, feeling deeply moved.
"I feel quite comfortable here, and I'm actually a little reluctant to leave."
Jiang Ning braided her hair into pigtails, a smile playing on her lips.
"You and Dad haven't been together for so many years. Now that you've finally reunited, of course you should do the things you didn't get to do when you were young!"
After spending some time with Ji Min, Yang Ziqiang immediately rediscovered the feeling he had back then. He still felt that he wanted to share a bed in life and a grave with her in death, and he never wanted to be separated from her again.
He has already proposed to her.
Today is the day they agreed to go get their marriage certificate.
They didn't go out to take wedding photos; they planned to take their marriage photos when they got their marriage certificate.
Ji Min had decided early on that she wanted to wear the most fashionable white shirt wedding dress from her youth for her wedding photos.
She wore a white shirt and green military pants, and her hair, which had been styled into two large braids with Jiang Ning's help, was loose from her bun.
Her hair was completely white, and her face appeared somewhat gaunt due to the lack of fat. However, her white braids, pale skin, darkened eyebrows, and red lips gave her an elegant and intellectual look, making her uniquely beautiful.
When Yang Ziqiang, also dressed in a white shirt and green military pants, came over and saw her like this, he was immediately stunned.
"Xiaomin, you still look just like you did when you were young. Our youth has returned."
He stepped forward, took her hand, and gazed at her with deep affection.
No one else could understand their feelings at that moment, the joy of regaining what they had lost, a bittersweet feeling that only they could fully comprehend.
"Let's go get our marriage certificate." Ji Min said, giving Yang Ziqiang a playful push as he stared at her in a daze.
Yang Ziqiang then bent his arm, waiting for her to take his arm, and then walked towards the car outside the door.
He's too old for Jiang Ning to drive anymore; they always have a driver to pick them up and drop them off.
The driver got out of the car, opened the door for them, respectfully helped them into the car, then returned to the driver's seat and started the car.
Jiang Ning didn't go with them, not wanting to be a third wheel. She just told them that they could go wherever they wanted in the afternoon, but they had to remember to come back for dinner.
Everyone will come back to celebrate with them.
In the evening, everyone came home, some from work and some from school.
I heard they've already registered their marriage and brought out the gifts they had prepared in advance.
A hat, a scarf... they prepared everything carefully.
The children didn't lag behind either; they also gave gifts, even little Songsong gave a gift box.
Upon opening it, one finds a music box inside. Winding it up causes the two newlywed couple on the music box to spin, producing melodious music.
May my great-grandfather and great-grandmother live a long and happy life together.
He also said a blessing that Sofia had taught him.
Ji Min hugged him, kissed him on the cheek, and smiled:
"Thank you, Songsong."
Yang Ziqiang's eyes reddened as he watched their interaction. He never imagined that he would witness four generations living together in his lifetime.
He lost his wife and children in his life and thought he would die in his fifties, but he stumbled and lived to be over seventy.
He has adopted sons and daughters, a wife and daughters, and even great-grandchildren.
He must have accumulated a lot of good karma in his past life to be able to have a fulfilling old age in this life.
Seeing that he was somewhat moved, Yang Lu also took out a gift for him.
"Dad, are you envious of Mom for having a gift? Actually, we prepared one for you too."
As she spoke, she took out an electric razor for him. This was the best razor on the market right now; it didn't require any lubricant, yet it could shave his beard cleanly.
Yang Xiu naturally prepared a gift for him as well.
The couple received so many gifts that their hands cramped up, and they couldn't possibly accept them all.
What made Ji Min most gratified was that Yang Lu and Yang Xiu also called her "Mom" along with Jiang Ning.
This large family, once gathered together, had endless things to talk about, and laughter filled the courtyard.
Halfway through the meal, Jiaojiao suddenly appeared with her boyfriend.
She originally said she wouldn't be coming back for dinner, but unexpectedly she brought her boyfriend George back.
"Hello, George."
Everyone greeted George.
George speaks fluent Mandarin and greets each of them individually, making sure to be considerate of everyone since it's their first meeting. He also prepared gifts for each of them.
The gifts looked simple, but they were all quite valuable: a rainbow bracelet adorned with small diamonds, pearl earrings, a gold bangle...
He probably moved the entire jewelry store home.
"You're too kind. From now on, we're family. Don't bring so much stuff next time." Jiang Ning quickly arranged their seats and asked the nanny to bring them new bowls and chopsticks.
After doing all that, I asked the nanny to cook two more dishes specifically for them.
George was somewhat flattered, as his family and children had a rather distant relationship, and he had always been quite independent.
Especially after he returned to China, he saw his parents much less often.
He always believed that once you're married, it's about two people living together, and you should keep your distance from your parents.
It's clear that Jiao Jiao grew up in a large family and is used to being loved by many people.
He decided that he should pamper her more from now on, otherwise if he was even slightly unhappy, she would think he was not suitable and would break up with him directly.
No wonder she didn't agree to his marriage proposals, no matter how many times he did.
The house he bought is far from here, making it inconvenient for him to come back often, which is probably why he's somewhat resistant to marriage.
Just as everyone was looking at George with satisfaction, Lin Chen glanced at him with a dark expression.
It's one thing for Tongtong to find a foreigner, and Sofia is willing to be a Chinese wife, but why did Jiaojiao also find a mixed-race man?
He has been abroad for quite some time and there is a chance that he will return to China in the future. He doesn't want Jiaojiao to be too far away from him.
Jiaojiao knew that her father couldn't bear to part with her, so she hesitated to bring her boyfriend home after getting a boyfriend.
This time, George promised to live in China from now on, which is why she brought him back.
"Dad, can you give me a word?" Jiaojiao noticed that his expression was off, so she went over and leaned on his back, asking in a coquettish tone.
Lin Chen feigned heartache, "Girls grow up and can't be kept at home. Keeping them will only lead to enmity. I'll just freeze to death when winter comes. Anyway, I won't have a little cotton-padded jacket anymore."
His words drew a burst of laughter from everyone.
George quickly chimed in, "Uncle, not only will your little cotton-padded jacket not be lost, but you'll also get an extra coat, ensuring you'll never get cold."
Lin Chen's eyes lit up. "What do you mean?"
Jiaojiao quickly smiled and said, "George has already made up his mind. He will transfer his identity back to China and will not go abroad again."
Lin Chen was overjoyed and exclaimed that they should bring out his treasured Moutai.
"I'm going to have a drink with my son-in-law today."
