Jiang Ci is reluctant to let his daughter get married, but he also knows that Si Lu is a good choice for her. Si Lu can protect her. As long as he stands side by side with Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan will live a happy life.
He understood the truth, but he still felt sad and reluctant when he thought about his daughter getting married.
Jiang Ci said that he had only one daughter, Jiang Yan, and he loved her like a treasure since she was young. Although the family's financial situation had plummeted due to the situation in recent years and Jiang Yan had suffered a lot, his daughter was a worldly-wise person and could not be abducted away by some small favors.
"You must swear to be good to my daughter for the rest of your life, never bully her, love her, and never let her suffer any injustice."
Si Lu imitated every word Jiang Ci said, following his father-in-law's instructions and steps closely, his eyes sincere and determined.
"I swear that I will treat Yanyan well for the rest of my life, never bully her, love her, and never let her suffer any injustice."
"Let me tell you, even though I'm just a university teacher, it hurts when I hit people. If you dare to bully my daughter, I will fight you even if I have to sacrifice my life."
"Uncle, don't worry. Yanyan is like my life to me." Si Lu said seriously, "I will never let her down in my life."
Jiang Ci, a grown man, was moved by what he said, "Humph, I hope you keep your word."
Finally, Weng Shuxu couldn't stand it anymore and stopped Jiang Ci from making trouble. "Okay, you are the elder, why don't you keep making things difficult for the younger generation?"
Jiang Ci didn't dare to say a word. He dared to be arrogant to Si Lu, but he didn't dare to say no to his own mother.
"Si Lu, since you want to get married, do you have any plans?"
"Grandma, before I came, the marriage report had been approved. As long as Yanyan agrees and writes a letter of introduction, we can get the marriage certificate. There is a family compound in the army. If Yanyan wants to follow the army, I can apply for housing and it will be approved soon. If she doesn't want to follow the army, she can also return to Beijing and live in the compound with my parents."
Weng Shuxu was still very satisfied with Si Lu's attitude.
"How can a newlywed couple live apart? You are not in the past now, and conditions do not allow it. I still hope Yanyan can follow the army, and you can live your own lives."
She was mainly afraid of conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Things that are far away smell bad, and sometimes there will be fights between tongues and teeth. No matter how good the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is, they cannot withstand being tied together every day.
"Regarding the betrothal gift..." Si Lu said, "Last time Yanyan went there, my mother wanted to give her the jewelry she prepared for the eldest daughter-in-law of the Si family, but she refused."
The three members of the Jiang family looked at each other. No one had expected that the Si family would be so generous. They were thinking of giving the jewelry to Yanyan before they even got married?
Anyway, this is their attitude! If they were stingy people, they would want to throw these things into the ground and would not give them to their wives.
"I've been in the army for so many years and saved some money, which I gave...all to Yanyan." After Si Lu said this, he glanced at Jiang Yan, meaning to ask her to prove it.
The three members of the Jiang family all looked at Jiang Yan, which made her feel very stressed. She subconsciously said, "I didn't want to take advantage of him. He insisted on giving it to me for safekeeping. I didn't touch a penny of the money in the passbook.
"When did it happen?"
"last year."
Now, even Jiang Ci had to admit that Si Lu was very serious about Jiang Yan. Even for someone of his level, it was not easy to save 6,000 yuan, but he gave it all to Yan Yan, which showed his sincerity.
Isn’t there a saying that goes, where a man’s money is, there’s his love.
Weng Shuxu was very moved and felt relieved. He finally made the final decision, "We agree to your marriage with Yanyan. It's just that during this special period, we can't prepare a dowry for Yanyan. Xiao Si, you have to bear with this matter. We will make it up to you when we have the chance in the future."
"As for the wedding date, you can discuss it among yourselves."
Si Lu's heart seemed to be about to jump out of his chest. He was always calm and self-reliant, but now he seemed very excited. "Don't worry, grandma. I will treat Yanyan well. She will not lack anything. I will make up for it for her."
…………
The night in the countryside was exceptionally quiet. Jiang Yan and Si Lu walked along the country road and could only hear the sounds of frogs croaking and insects chirping.
It is obviously a very loud and noisy sound, but for some reason, listening to it makes people feel a sense of peace and tranquility, as if the world should be like this. This is the true sound of nature.
Neither of them spoke a word, holding hands, and followed the winding path back to the village.
Si Lu sent Jiang Yan to the gate of the courtyard.
"It's too late. Go back and have some rest. We can talk tomorrow if you have anything to say."
Si Lu reluctantly let go of Jiang Yan's hand, his eyes full of tender affection. In the dark night, that pair of sparkling eyes were like stars in the night sky, which attracted people unconsciously.
"When are we going to get married?"
Jiang Yan's lips curved, "I haven't thought about it yet."
Si Lu sighed, "Grandpa and grandma have agreed, even my father-in-law has nodded, it can't be stuck with you, right?
"So what? I'm still young!"
Si Lu sighed, "Yan Yan, don't you want to see me every day?"
He took a step forward, took advantage of the night to hold Jiang Yan in his arms, and whispered softly, "You don't know how much I miss you. I miss you every day. Do you know that the mission I accepted this time is to go to the deep mountains and old forests to eliminate a cross-border force. Those people are armed, cruel and inhumane. Their purpose is to disrupt peace, cause panic, and lay out a bigger conspiracy."
Jiang Yan leaned on his shoulder and listened quietly, but her heart couldn't help but tighten.
"I was thinking, no matter how difficult it is, I have to complete the mission and return safely. I haven't married you yet, and I haven't let you live a happy life yet, so nothing can go wrong."
Jiang Yan couldn't help but put her arms around Si Lu's waist and said in a muffled voice: "You know best. No matter how difficult the mission is, you must remember that there are people waiting for you."
With the warm and soft jade in his arms, Si Lu felt that all the blood in his body was rushing to one place. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "Let's go back. It's too late. We can talk tomorrow."
Jiang Yan also felt the changes in his body and pushed Si Lu in panic, "Okay, you, you go back early."
She went into the yard, closed the door, ran back to the house, tidied herself up and got into bed.
Si Lu stood at the gate for a long time. He thought Jiang Yan was almost asleep, so he turned around and walked back.
In such a short while, he had several large lumps on his body from mosquito bites, but he was completely unaware...
