Lin Jingyue negotiated for a long time and finally settled on a price of 525 yuan, paying the full amount upfront.
But after buying the house, she won't have much savings left. Fortunately, she's not in a hurry to move in, so she still has time to save money and renovate the house later.
Looking at her own little courtyard, she felt very peaceful, as if she had found a place to belong in this world, and her empty heart was instantly filled.
"Mom, will this be our home from now on?" Little Mingyue stood in the yard, her eyes wide open, somewhat incredulous.
Although she was quite comfortable living with Grandma Zhang, she still preferred her own home to living alone rather than feeling like she was living under someone else's roof.
Now that she has this home, she can invite her classmates and friends over to play whenever she wants.
"Yes, this will be our home from now on." Lin Jingyue has already received the property certificate, and she can do whatever she wants with the yard from now on.
"Wow! Mom, I want to build a swing here, and I'll put my little red flower here so I can watch it lay eggs every day. Okay, Mom?"
"Okay, okay, that's fine. Mom will try her best and you'll be able to play on the swings soon." She spoils her child to the point of having no limits.
However, we don't have enough funds right now, so we can only do these things once we've saved up enough money.
However, this trouble soon disappeared.
Zhao Weiguo was on vacation and came to pick her up when she got off work, carrying large bags and small packages.
"Are you on vacation?"
"Yeah, I figured I had nothing else to do, so I came to find you." He grinned, showing off his big white teeth, his smile honest and simple. It wasn't that he had nothing else to do; he clearly missed her.
Lin Jingyue brought him home, but instead of wasting time cooking, they all went out to eat at a state-run restaurant. Although she said she was treating, he actually insisted on paying.
Lin Jingyue didn't argue with him. Anyway, they would become family in the future, so she couldn't be bothered to make such a big deal out of it.
"Comrade Lin, I... well, the marriage application has been approved. I wonder what your thoughts are on this?" Zhao Weiguo mustered his courage and finally revealed his purpose.
He was afraid that if he didn't speak up, she would regret it and not want to marry him.
"What does Comrade Zhao think?" She didn't answer his question directly, but just rested her chin on her hand and looked at him with interest.
Xiao Mingyue, standing to the side, curiously imitated her, resting her chin on her hand and watching the two of them.
Zhao Weiguo's face turned red. After being single for so many years, he had finally found a girl he liked, so of course he wanted to marry her as soon as possible. He was very anxious, but he was also afraid of scaring her away.
"My point is that you should be the priority. If you don't want it to be so fast, then we can postpone it." He was afraid that she would misunderstand him.
Lin Jingyue smiled sincerely. If a man had been with you for a year and still had no intention of getting married, she would probably kick him out. But she was very satisfied with the man in front of her.
“I think it’s a good idea. You don’t have much vacation time. If I don’t get our marriage certificate now, I’m afraid it will be a long time before we can.”
What was said without malice may have been taken to heart by the listener.
Zhao Weiguo looked at her with some guilt. As a soldier, he couldn't stay by her side for long periods of time, but he was unwilling to give it up.
"I've applied to the organization, and they'll give me a few extra days off if I'm going to get my marriage certificate. Comrade Lin, don't worry, although I dedicate my time to the country, my heart will always be loyal to the nation and to you. Please believe me, I will always be good to you!"
His gaze was so firm that no one could doubt him.
Lin Jingyue was both amused and exasperated. "Alright, alright, I believe you, and I also believe that time will prove everything."
Xiaomingyue held her chin in her hands, and for some reason, she felt very happy looking at this scene.
After the meal, the three of them went to the small courtyard, which would be their home from now on. The male head of the household should also do his part, right?
Zhao Weiguo immediately said that he would handle the rest, and she only needed to offer suggestions and opinions; she didn't need to worry about anything else.
Lin Jingyue took a day off specifically for her wedding. There is no wedding leave during this time, so many people returned to their posts the day after their weddings.
The marriage certificate is just a thin piece of paper, but the staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau will also issue a certificate that allows you to buy two kilograms of wedding candy at the supply and marketing cooperative. You'll then share it with people you know well, so they can share in the joy.
We'll just invite some familiar faces to sit at a few tables and have a meal; there's no complicated process.
Lin Jingyue had asked around, and Zhao Weiguo didn't really want his family to come. He didn't have a good relationship with them, and it would be bad if it upset his new daughter-in-law.
After thinking it over, she decided to give up the idea of treating everyone, as it would be too much trouble.
However, Zhao Weiguo felt that he had wronged her; it would be too unfair to just get a marriage certificate without holding a wedding banquet.
"If you feel indebted, then treat me even better, instead of just saying it. Train hard in the army, protect yourself, understand?"
"Yes, I understand!"
When Li Xianglan heard the news of her marriage, she was stunned. Although they would visit each other during holidays, she was genuinely unaware of this.
Congratulations! Happy wedding!
"Aunt Li, please have some wedding candy. Thank you so much, you're practically our matchmaker." If it weren't for this opportunity, she might not have become a worker, much less participate in the matchmaking event.
Aunt Li waved her hand, "This is all your good fortune, but I've also done a good deed by helping you two get together."
Aunt Zhang offered her congratulations even more. For nearly a year, Lin Jingyue and her daughter had been by her and Xiao Shitou's side. It could be said that she almost treated them like her own daughter.
Although we're married, our lives are practically the same. We go to work and take the same route home. The only difference is that there's someone else here.
After cleaning the small courtyard, Zhao Weiguo moved a lot of furniture and household items inside. A swing he made himself was also added to the open space in the courtyard.
He could fulfill all the requests made by the mother and daughter.
So the day before he left, the family of three moved into their new home.
Little Mingyue was overjoyed to have her own room. She danced with delight and slept soundly at night, hugging the cloth doll her mother had knitted by hand.
I had a good night's sleep, filled with wonderful dreams about the future.
Zhao Weiguo held the woman in his arms, laughing like a fool. Everyone says that the most unforgettable place is the land of gentle pleasures. He didn't believe it before, but now he does.
But no matter how reluctant I am to leave, I have to leave the next day. Everything will be alright in the future.
