He had heard from Sheng Zexi that in the Northwestern Military Region, during very cold winters, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, movement was difficult, and supplies were in short supply.
Although the specific wedding date has not been decided yet, Gu Yunnan feels that the latest date would be within half a month. After all, as a soldier, Sheng Zexi rarely has vacations, but he can't stay for too long.
Half a month later, Sheng Zexi took his younger sister to the Northwest Military Region. It would soon be the coldest time there, so they had to prepare for his younger sister.
In another room of the west wing lived Gu Yunzhou, the third son of the Gu family who had not yet married.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he was counting his money, planning to go to the county town's black market when he had time. His younger sister liked shiny jewelry, so he planned to secretly buy some and give them to her when she got married.
Gu Jianing, who was being cared about by everyone, was wrapped in a quilt. He didn't feel cold at all in such a cold night and was sleeping soundly.
Even though she jumped into the river in the middle of winter, she hasn’t fully recovered yet, so she still has to go to bed early and try to recover as soon as possible.
There was also a person whose heart was boiling with anxiety. He was Sheng Zexi, who was writing furiously on the marriage application form in the hotel.
Today, after leaving Huaihua Village and returning to the county town, he began to purchase things for the engagement and the betrothal gifts.
There must be a three-turn and one-ring ceremony, and Sheng Zexi prepared 500 yuan for the betrothal gift.
Of course, this was on the surface. Privately, he planned to find a time to give Ning Ning his passbook and the salary he had saved during his years in the army.
He knew that little girl had a bit of a money-loving nature.
After waking up, Sheng Zexi went to the post office and mailed his marriage application. He then called the military district leader, Brigade Commander Zheng, to inform him that he had filed a marriage report.
"You finally know you're going to get married, okay, I'll approve your marriage as long as there aren't any major problems when you submit your marriage report."
Brigade Commander Zheng, who was far away in the Northwest Military Region Office, was deeply moved after hanging up the phone.
He clenched his right fist and hit the palm of his left hand hard, with a look of joy on his face.
Sheng Zexi is the most capable soldier under his command. He has won the title of Soldier King for several times. He has accumulated a lot of military merits at a young age and is now a battalion commander. However, Brigade Commander Zheng knows that if Sheng Zexi's father had not been suppressing him, Sheng Zexi might have become a regiment commander.
Brigade Commander Zheng probably knew about the conflict between Sheng Zexi and his father, so it was no wonder that Sheng Zexi developed such a rebellious character.
Although he is unruly and sharp-tongued, he often makes people angry just by opening his mouth.
But Brigade Commander Zheng knew that Sheng Zexi was a good person.
Before, Sheng Zexi was injured and had health problems, and he was really worried that this guy would be single for the rest of his life. After all, he introduced him to several blind dates, and the guy refused without hesitation.
It’s not that there were no girls in the military area who liked him. The relatives of the wives of soldiers and many girls in the art troupe liked Sheng Zexi. Many of them even bravely expressed their love and pursuit for him, but they were all rejected by Sheng Zexi.
He thought that this guy would never get married, but he didn't expect that he would meet her when he asked for leave. He directly reported his marriage, and from the boy's tone, it was obvious that he really liked her.
"I hope that girl and Sheng boy can live happily together."
Sheng Zexi hung up the call with Brigade Commander Zheng and made another call to his grandparents' home in Beijing.
"Hello, who is this?" An old but gentle voice came from the other end of the phone. As soon as Sheng Zexi heard it, the man's kind face appeared in front of his eyes.
"Grandma, it's me, Xiaoxi." Sheng Zexi, who was always rebellious, spoke in a rare gentle tone with joy, "I plan to get married."
"What, Xiaoxi, you are planning to get married?!" Grandma Sang exclaimed. Grandpa Sang, who was wearing glasses and writing data, stopped writing when he heard that it was his grandson Sheng Zexi calling. He pricked up his ears, and when he heard the second half of the sentence, he stood up, walked quickly to his wife, and came closer, eager to answer the phone.
Sheng Zexi quickly introduced himself to Gu Jianing, made a marriage announcement, and soon told her about his plan to get married.
"Good, good, that's great." Grandma Sang praised it repeatedly, tears streaming down her face unconsciously, but a relieved smile appeared on her lips.
Even Grandpa Sang couldn't help but tear up. His poor grandson was finally getting married.
From now on, I will have someone who understands me and will be with me, and I will never be alone again.
They don't care whether they are city dwellers or rural dwellers.
Sheng Zexi felt a little sad when he heard his grandmother's choked voice on the other end of the phone. After his mother passed away, his biological father married a stepmother, and his biological father became a stepfather. The only people who were good to him were his grandparents on his mother's side.
He also knew that his grandparents had been worried about the fact that he had not gotten married all these years.
"Xiao Xi, it's your health problem. Do the girl and her family know about it?" Grandma Sang asked after a moment of hesitation.
They knew that Sheng Zexi was infertile, and they felt even more sorry for their grandson because of it.
"I know. I've told them that although grandpa and grandma come from the countryside, they are both very good people. Ningning is also very pretty and cute, and she's very quirky. I believe you will like her when you meet her."
Is Gu Jianing pretty? No doubt, she is pretty and charming.
As for being naughty? In Sheng Zexi's eyes, she is just quirky and cute.
It has to be said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and Sheng Zexi has a very broad filter for Gu Jianing.
"Okay, then we're relieved."
"Grandpa and grandma, are you planning to come?" Sheng Zexi asked after hesitating for a long time.
The main reason is the long distance, my grandparents are both elderly people, and although my grandmother is free at home, my grandfather is a professor at the National Weapons Research Institute and is very busy.
"Yes, of course!" As soon as Grandma Sang agreed, the phone was taken over by Grandpa Sang.
"Xiao Xi, your wedding is such a big event, your grandmother and I will definitely go, don't worry, just tell us the date, we are both still strong and can still walk, and I have a lot of vacation time saved up, so I'll just take it this time."
that is……
"As for your dad, are you going to tell him?"
When Sheng Zexi mentioned this person, his face turned cold, without any hesitation, he said in a cold and hard tone, "I won't tell you. This is my business."
There was silence on the other end of the phone, then he sighed and quickly said, "Okay, if you don't want to tell, then don't tell. That person is just a muddleheaded person with a confused mind, so it's better not to tell."
I was afraid that the man would stop me if I told him. Although he was fooled by the woman he married later and was not clear-headed about how to treat children, he was still smart at work, otherwise he would not have been in such a high position.
If he knew about this, he might try to stop her and it might really put a damper on Xiaoxi's marriage.
So, it’s better not to tell.
"Just wait for me and your grandmother to come over." How could his grandson be left alone when he got married?
As the grandparents, they would definitely go over to support the occasion, which also shows their respect for the girl.
