Chapter 31: Marriage (1)



The next day, Boss Xie looked at Xie Dazhu who had left early in the morning and asked, "Mom, where is my dad going?"

"Your father has to go to town today to take care of some things, so he won't be going to work today."

Xie Hehua said from the side: "Mom, what's the matter? Is my father going to write a letter to my third brother? When are we going to the capital?"

Liu Pan'er, who had finally forgotten about the 1,000 yuan, suddenly remembered it and angrily said, "Why are we going? It won't cost money? Will there be a place to sleep in the capital? Do you want to sleep on the street? The third brother said that when he gets married, he will bring his partner back to meet us. So we won't go."

Xie Hehua pestered Liu Pan'er, saying, "What? Mom, didn't we agree on this? Why aren't you going again?"

"Who did you make that agreement with? What are you yelling about so early in the morning? Didn't I just tell you? We have no money. And the third brother is about to bring his girlfriend back, so why are we wasting our money going to the capital?"

Liu Pan'er pushed Boss Xie and the others out, "Hurry up and get to work. You're just dawdling all day long. Lazy donkeys only make shit and piss when they're on the millstone."

After watching everyone leave, Boss Xie turned around and asked Liu Pan'er, "Mom, is Dad really not planning to let us go to the capital to attend the third brother's wedding? When did Dad call the third brother? How come I didn't know?"

"Really? I called yesterday. I'll bring my family back next month after the third child gets married, so I won't be going."

Xie Lao Da looked at Liu Pan'er and said nothing more. "Then mother, please ask father someday when the third child will be back. I will ask my wife to clean up the house for him."

"good."

On the way to work, Xie Hehua looked reluctant, her mind full of why she didn't go? It was all her fault, her interesting masked sister-in-law. It must be her who didn't let her go.

Xie Chang: But it doesn’t matter, as long as the third brother can let him wear a military uniform.

Second Brother Xie and his wife were bewildered. Hadn't they already agreed? Didn't their father agree? Why did he change his mind? Could it be that Third Brother disagreed? That shouldn't be the case. Isn't Third Brother the most filial? It must be someone from Third Brother's family who disagreed.

Xie Laoer's wife whispered in his ear, "Our third brother's wife is no ordinary person! She'll be here next month. I want to see if she's a real person or a ghost. She's amazing! She can even make the third brother contradict what Dad said."

Xie Laoer frowned, "Okay, didn't you see that Mom and Dad were unwilling? Be a little more discerning today and don't take the initiative to go to their house and get scolded."

"I'm not the eldest sister-in-law, I know this little thing about not being able to tell good from bad."

"Just know the number yourself."

Xie Laoer's wife snorted, then suddenly remembered something. She tugged at Xie Laoer's clothes and said, "Master, you said Dad didn't go to town just to send a letter to the third son today. Do you think it was the third son calling to ask for money?"

"Money? What kind of money? The third brother has earned quite a bit over the years. Even though he sent most of it back, he still has some."

"Master, who would complain about having too much money? My third brother's wife is from the city, and her father is an official in the capital. Do you think the dowry can be small? Can the third brother's betrothal gift be small?"

Xie Laoer's expression suddenly changed, "I'll go find my parents and ask them clearly."

"You're so stupid! Mom and Dad are already unhappy, and asking now will only bring bad luck. And you can't ask, because big brother definitely doesn't know about this yet."

"So that's it? Are we just going to watch Dad give the money to the third brother for nothing?"

"Didn't Dad say that the third brother would come back after getting married? It wouldn't be too late to ask him after he comes back with his sister-in-law. If you ask now, Dad will definitely not agree. Dad can't wait for the third brother to marry his sister-in-law so that the matter can be settled.

And if the third brother knew that it was you who stopped Dad from sending money, our Zhaolong would not be able to serve in the army in the future. We can't afford to offend the third brother and his wife."

"Okay, then wait until the third brother comes back and ask his wife. Then let the eldest sister-in-law and the eldest brother talk. The eldest brother has a much higher status in the family than me, and he can't wait to take all the money in Dad's hands for himself."

"Boss, let's do this."

In the office of the political commissar of the military academy, Qin Zheng looked at the marriage report over and over again. He finally married Zhiyi.

The political commissar smiled and said, "Qin Zheng, you are a lucky boy. Be nice to the girl from the Xu family. If you bully her, not only the Xu family will not forgive you."

"Report to the Political Commissar, Qin Zheng understands."

"Haha, okay. I'm going to the wedding on February 16th!"

"good."

After Qin Zheng left, he went to the military hospital.

Xu Zhiyi looked at the sweaty Qin Zheng and asked, "What happened? Was the marriage application rejected?"

"I understand. The political commissar has approved it."

Xu Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief. "Then why are you sweating so much? Did you come here running?"

"I wanted to see you soon, so I ran over here."

Xu Zhiyi smiled and said, "You can see it anytime. Don't run around next time. It's tiring."

"I understand. Zhiyi, let's go get the certificate tomorrow."

Xu Zhiyi looked at Qin Zheng in surprise and replied, "Okay."

That night, after Xu Zhiyi got off work, she told Xu Chengde that she was going to get married the next day.

Xu Chengde said reluctantly: "My dear, what will you do if your father misses you in the future?"

"Dad, Qin Zheng will stay in the military academy for another year. I can go home anytime and anywhere during this year. After Qin Zheng finishes his training, if he returns to his original unit, which is in Wei County, Shandong Province, your daughter will call you and write to you."

"Oh, Daddy misses you."

"Dad, this is the best arrangement. I'll be accompanying Qin Zheng and joining the army, assigned there for work. You're alone in the capital, but your son-in-law is guarding the country's coastal defenses, your daughter is working in the military hospital, treating the people, and your son is obeying the country's call to defend his homeland. Your entire family is serving the country with loyalty.
