He heard from Sheng Zexi that in the Northwest Military Region, when it was very cold in winter, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, making movement difficult and supplies 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 in the west wing, lives Gu Yunzhou, the third son of the Gu family who has not yet married.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he was counting his money, planning to visit the black market in the county town when he had some free 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. In such a cold night, he did not feel cold at all and was sleeping soundly.
Even though she jumped into the river in the middle of winter, she has not yet fully recovered, 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 burning with anxiety. He was Sheng Zexi, who was writing a marriage application in the hotel.
Today, after leaving Huaihua Village and returning to the county town, he began to purchase things needed for the engagement and the wedding gifts.
Three turns and one ring are definitely necessary, and Sheng Zexi prepared 500 yuan for the betrothal gift.
Of course, this was what he said openly. Privately, he planned to find a time to give Ningning his passbook and the salary he had saved over the years as a soldier.
He knew that little girl had a bit of a money-loving nature.
After waking up, Sheng Zexi first went to the post office to mail the marriage application, and then made a phone call to the military district leader, Brigade Commander Zheng, to inform him that he had filed a marriage report.
"You kid, you finally know you want to get married. Okay, when your marriage report arrives, as long as there are no major problems, I will approve it for you."
Brigade Commander Zheng, who was far away in the Northwest Military Region office, was very emotional 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 the 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 very angry just by opening his mouth.
But Brigade Commander Zheng knew that Sheng Zexi was a good person.
Sheng Zexi was injured and had health problems before, and he was really worried that this guy would be single for the rest of his life. After all, he was introduced to several blind dates afterwards, and the guy refused without hesitation.
It’s not that there are no girls in the military region who like him. Many of the military wives’ relatives and girls in the art troupe like Sheng Zexi. Many of them even bravely express their love and pursuit for him, but they are all brushed away by Sheng Zexi.
He thought that this guy would never get married in his life, but he didn't expect that he would meet her when he asked for leave. He directly reported the marriage. 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 phone 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 unruly, spoke in a rare gentle tone, with joy in his tone, "I plan to get married."
"What, Xiaoxi, are you 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, got closer, and wanted to answer the phone eagerly.
Sheng Zexi quickly met Gu Jianing and filed a marriage report, and soon after he 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 smile of relief appeared on her lips.
Even Grandpa Sang couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. His poor grandson was finally getting married.
From now on, you will have someone who understands you and will be with you forever, and you will never be alone again.
They don't care whether they are city dwellers or rural residents.
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 yet gotten married over the years.
"Xiao Xi, it's your health problem. Do the girl and her family know about it?" Grandma Sang asked after hesitating.
They knew that Sheng Zexi was infertile, and they felt even more sorry for their grandson because of it.
"Yes, I have told them that although grandpa and grandma are from the countryside, they are very good people. Ningning is also very pretty and cute, and she is very clever. I believe you will like her when you see her."
Is Gu Jianing beautiful? No doubt, she is beautiful and charming.
As for being pretentious? In Sheng Zexi's eyes, it's just quirky and cute.
I have to say that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and Sheng Zexi has a very strong 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 was the long journey and the fact that my grandparents were both elderly. In addition, although my grandmother was idle at home, my grandfather was a professor at the National Weapons Research Institute and was 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 still strong and can still walk, and I have a lot of vacation time saved up, so I'll take it this time."
that is……
"Are you going to tell your dad?"
When Sheng Zexi mentioned this person, his face turned slightly cold, and without the slightest hesitation, he said in a cold and hard tone, "Don't tell me, 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 me, then don't tell me. That person is just a fool, he can't think straight, so it's better not to tell me."
I was afraid that the man would stop me if I told him. Although he was fooled by the man 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 able to sit in such a high position.
If he knew about it, he might try to stop it, which might really hinder Xiaoxi's marriage.
So, it’s better not to tell.
"Wait for your grandmother and I to come over." How could his grandson be 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.
