On the other side, Qiu Yuling packed up her things and went back to Qiuzhuang without waiting for her second brother to come up and call her.
After crossing the second ridge, the bicycle suddenly became difficult to ride due to the heavy load on it. It took her a while to reach the village.
I ran into Aunt Hua from a distance, "Aunt, are you out cutting grass?"
"Yuling is back? Are you here to see your second sister-in-law? Go quickly, she looks so pretty. I just came out of your room..."
"What second sister-in-law?" Qiu Yuling was still a little unresponsive.
Zhang Wanhua thought she was afraid of the bad girl's reputation and smiled knowingly, "It's only a matter of a few days. Calling her a few days earlier would make it seem more intimate."
Qiu Yuling said goodbye to Aunt Hua, and had a rough idea in her mind. Was it her second brother who came back with his girlfriend?
"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Just as I arrived at the door, there were many things on the bicycle, and the person had not arrived yet, and the voice came from the yard.
Wang Xiaotao, who was sitting on the small stool, suddenly jumped up and said, "Yuling is back! I'll go open the car."
Mrs. Qiu, who was standing by, was startled by this sudden move and the green onions in her hand fell all over the basket.
Qiu Yuling thought it was her father. In the past, as long as he heard her voice, her father would never let her wait for even a second, and today he was just as fast.
When I opened the door, I was stunned.
"Ah, Sister Xiaotao~" The two girls hugged their heads and screamed. If Qiu Dahe had not had a plan in mind and came over to hold the bicycle in advance, the bicycle and the things on it would have been destroyed on the spot.
They have been exchanging letters and sending each other a photo every year, so there is no possibility that they no longer know each other after growing up.
Li Qingmei wiped the dirt off her hands, supported her waist and stood up, looking at Qiu Jianshe and asking, "What's going on?"
Qiu Jianshe was equally confused, "Do they know each other?"
"Sister Xiaotao, why are you here?" Even at this moment, Qiu Yuling had no idea that Wang Xiaotao was the second sister-in-law.
"I came to see you and get married." Wang Xiaotao said it lightly with a smile on her face.
Qiu Yuling suddenly remembered something and pointed at her second brother and Wang Xiaotao. "You? Both of you?"
"Well, from now on we will be a real family. My home is your home. Next time you come to the army, you can stay as long as you want." Wang Xiaotao was very satisfied with her reaction.
After dinner, the two of them closed the door and hid in the small room, whispering to each other.
Li Qingmei also took the opportunity to pull Qiu Dahe aside to ask about the whole story, "Are you saying that Xiaotao and our Yuling have been in contact for so many years? What about you? Do you have to get married?" She still remembered what a powerful man Wang Xiaotao's grandfather was.
Qiu Dahe faced his mother's aggressive gaze and said, "Mom, what are you thinking? Of course I am happy with this. No matter how powerful someone is, they can't force a deal. We both feel that we are suitable for each other, and we decided after spending some time together."
"Oh, that's good. But anyone who can get along with our daughter is probably a good person. Don't think that girl is nice to everyone, she is actually picky.
Even when someone she disliked offered her eggs, she remained indifferent. Li Qingmei discovered that her son wasn't being forced to do so, and that her daughter-in-law already had a long-standing connection with her family. The initial discomfort and concern she'd felt instantly vanished.
"I'll go get some flour and steam some buns and saxaul buns for your wife and Yuling tomorrow." She stood up and went to work, leaving Qiu Jianshe to ask many more questions about business matters and to discuss the best day for the wedding.
"Let's do it the day after tomorrow. It's hard for everyone to take leave, so by then, my eldest brother, my third brother, and Yuling won't be delayed at all. Once they're done, they can go back to work.
We will stay at home for a while to accompany you. When we leave, you and my mother can come with us. I have a separate room over there, so you two can stay there for a while..."
Such a big boss is not something Qiu Jianshe can do. He laughed dryly and said, "Let's do your thing first, and then we can talk about the other thing later. The key point is to discuss it with your mother. My decision does not count."
Qiu Dashan and Qiu Dashu each received a telegram with just four words on it: "Get married and come back soon."
The telegram was from Qiu Dahe, and it said that the second son was getting married. As soon as Qiu Dashan finished work, he went back and asked Huang Duoer to pack up. "The second son said he's getting married and asked us to go back. It's winter now, so there's less work. Yundou hasn't met her grandparents yet, so let's go back as a family."
Huang Duoer was quite surprised, but didn't say much. After listening, she immediately put down the shoe soles in her hand and got up to clean up.
"Brother Shan, I'm planning to make some clothes for my parents. If they don't work out, I'll take them home and make them myself instead of asking the tailor to do it. And while you're here, bring the sewing machine over so I can do some work and help support the family."
Qiu Dashan nodded and said, "You take care of these."
Qiu Dashu also went to the factory to ask for leave. The team leader of the power distribution room was quite dissatisfied, "Didn't you go home this year?"
Qiu Dashu took out a box of Daqianmen from his pocket and quietly handed it over. "My second brother is getting married. It's a lifelong event. As a brother, I can't be lazy."
The squad leader put the money in his pocket, his impatience gone, and a look of sudden realization on his face. "Oh, this is a big deal. Fine, I'll transfer you to another shift and give you two days of vacation, so five days in total, that's enough."
"That's enough, squad leader, you've always taken such good care of us. If the workshop couldn't do without you, I'd really like to invite you back for a wedding drink. But it's okay, I'll bring you a drink when you come."
"Oh, that's out of place. Xiao Qiu, you work diligently and conscientiously. I was talking about you to the director last time..."
Qiu Dashu looked embarrassed and kept saying that he still had a lot to learn from the squad leader and the masters. "Then I won't keep you any longer."
He talked a lot of nonsense, making the squad leader smile. "Go, go, if you have any problems, come to me..."
Several people rushed back to Qiuzhuang exhausted.
After Qiu Dahe discussed with his father, he found Li Qingmei who was busy in the kitchen and said, "Mom, let's do it on the day we mentioned earlier. It will be over in two days and everyone will have time to go to work."
Li Qingmei nodded, "Sure, the meat sauce is ready. We'll set up two tables for a buffet, with noodles with sauce and stewed vegetables. Go to your eldest and second uncle's house later and ask your two sisters-in-law to come over early tomorrow to help.
Oh, and give your eldest and second uncles a portion each of the cigarettes and alcohol you brought back, and we’ll use the loose liquor at the banquet.”
Qiu Dahe agreed, "Okay, I'll go now. By the way, Xiaotao said she doesn't need to live in the county and asked us to go over to pick her up. It would be fun for everyone. She hates it."
Li Qingmei paused as she scooped up the meat sauce. "As for your two matters, we'll listen to your own decisions."
She had good intentions originally, wanting the second son's family to live in her daughter's yard, and asking the second son to marry the girl in a decent manner, but the other party had his own ideas, so she was happy to keep quiet.
