Later, the brigade leader wrote a letter to Xu Ningyan, in which he briefly mentioned Xu Erchun.
They didn't have a good New Year because they didn't receive Chen Fangfang's remittance slip.
Xu Erchun's later wife threw a tantrum at home, scolding him for being useless, and the children also cried and made a fuss because they couldn't buy what they wanted.
A year has passed with all the ups and downs, tears and tantrums.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Erchun's wife went back to her parents' home.
The two almost got divorced, but in the end they compromised and continued living together in a daze.
Xu Ningyan knew that the captain wrote her a letter so that she could pass on the news to Chen Fangfang.
Whether Chen Fangfang knew about this news or not was irrelevant; she had long since stopped caring.
Xu Ningyan no longer had the mind to pay attention to the Unity Brigade.
Because Jiang Zhixing is getting married.
Over the years, Jiang Zhixing was transferred from the Asian Department to the European Department, and then to the North American and Oceanian Department.
In previous years, he was even sent abroad and didn't return for several years.
Although Jiang Yuan believed in Jiang Zhixing's integrity, she couldn't help but worry occasionally that her son wouldn't bring home a foreign daughter-in-law.
Occasionally, when she talks to Jiang Zhixing on the phone, she will subtly hint that she is not in a hurry to have a daughter-in-law, and that Jiang Zhixing should not be in a rush either.
The main problem is that there aren't many options there. If you really want to find someone, it's better to come back to China.
Although Jiang Zhixing is a very reliable diplomat outside, he still often makes witty and outrageous remarks when facing his family.
Occasionally, he would deliberately tease Jiang Yuan, sometimes making up the name Ruth, sometimes Mary.
This made Jiang Yuan jump up and down on the phone, so he comforted her by saying that he didn't have a girlfriend and didn't want to get married yet.
Jiang Yuan felt that the extra wrinkles on her face and the few gray hairs on her head were all caused by that unreliable guy, Jiang Zhixing.
Finally, Jiang Zhixing was transferred back to China to be in charge of press releases.
Jiang Yuan hurriedly arranged various blind dates for Jiang Zhixing, fearing that if Jiang Zhixing went abroad again and really brought back a foreign wife, she would have nowhere to cry.
Fortunately, after working for a long time, Jiang Zhixing has become much more mature and stable.
My initial thought of not planning to get married has gradually changed.
After going on many blind dates, I finally met a lesbian woman with whom I planned to spend the rest of my life.
How to put it? To say there was much romantic love between them, it wasn't much at all! It was more that they found each other agreeable, and since they were both workaholics, they just felt they were a good match.
After spending some time together, neither of them were procrastinators. They found each other agreeable and didn't get annoyed. They felt that each other had good boundaries, and most importantly, they shared the same values after marriage.
Neither of them plans to have children; they intend to dedicate their lives to the work and career they love most.
Marriage is more like a partnership, where each other is the most suitable marriage partner, and the partnership is mutually beneficial. It can not only enhance one's work resume but also eliminate pressure from family and relatives.
They hit it off immediately and promptly went to get their marriage certificate.
As for the wedding, the couple originally didn't plan to have one, but their families were unhappy about it.
Especially on the woman's side, having finally managed to marry off their daughter who was so reluctant to get married, they couldn't wait to announce it to the whole world and celebrate.
On the Jiang family side, Jiang Yuan and the others all knew the inside story of the two's marriage.
However, Jiang Yuan has come to terms with it. She believes that her children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and she doesn't need to worry about them while she enjoys her own happiness.
Moreover, having experienced an unhappy marriage herself, she naturally doesn't feel qualified to define her son's marriage.
However, since the two have made a vow of faithful marriage, they will be a family from now on, and naturally, they will have everything they need.
Moreover, due to the prevailing social conditions at the time, Jiang Zhiyuan and Xu Ningyan's wedding could not be a grand affair.
Now that Jiang Zhixing is getting married, he must follow the rules and give his youngest daughter-in-law the utmost respect.
Jiang Zhiyuan was busy with work, and Jiang Zhixing was also busy, so all the arrangements had to be handled by Jiang Yuan and Xu Ningyan.
As the eldest sister-in-law, and having always had a good relationship with Jiang Zhixing, Xu Ningyan naturally wanted to make Jiang Zhixing's wedding a lively affair, so helping out was her duty.
From giving betrothal gifts and decorating the wedding room to booking the hotel, everything was decided by Xu Ningyan and Jiang Yuan through discussion.
As the groom-to-be, Jiang Zhixing's only duties were to nod and say yes, then take out the money, and finally say thank you.
Because of Jiang Zhixing's identity, and Jiang Zhiyuan's current status, the hotel dares not book outside.
In the end, we booked the State Guesthouse.
The woman's family was very satisfied. Their family was not unknown in the capital. In addition to the woman's father, several of their uncles were also in official positions, so they naturally knew the significance of holding a wedding at the State Guesthouse.
Not to mention that Jiang Zhixing is already outstanding and has a promising future, not to mention his excellent older brother Jiang Zhiyuan, this marriage seems like a perfect match no matter how you look at it.
The woman's family was initially a little worried, as they had heard a bit about the reputation of Xu Ningyan, the eldest sister-in-law of the Jiang family.
Although she was an orphan, she was the orphan of a martyr. Back then, the Northwest Military Region came to support Xu Ningyan at her wedding.
Over the years, the Northwest Military Region has sent Xu Ningyan a grand New Year's gift every year.
They never shy away from it.
When those old guys from the Northwest Military Region come to Beijing for a meeting, they always make sure to visit the Jiang family, chat with Xu Ningyan, and have a home-cooked meal.
Nobody's kidding, Jiang Zhiyuan has a father-in-law who works in a military region.
Moreover, Xu Ningyan is now an associate professor at Peking University and has a mentor who is a leading figure in the field of history. With such conditions, anyone who wants to be her sister-in-law would feel a lot of pressure.
I heard that Jiang Yuan, the mother-in-law, is especially fond of this eldest daughter-in-law, even more so than her own daughter.
The men in the woman's family were all satisfied with the marriage. The older women in the woman's family were happy about the marriage, but at the same time, they were worried that their daughter would be overshadowed and bullied by her sister-in-law after she married into the family.
She was especially worried after hearing that the entire wedding, including the betrothal gifts and the decoration of the bridal chamber, was handled by her sister-in-law, Xu Ningyan.
It wasn't until she saw the betrothal gifts and visited the newly renovated wedding room, and delivered her dowry, that she realized her sister-in-law, Xu Ningyan, was incredibly generous.
The betrothal gifts are the most extravagant within the standard range. Many of the items may look insignificant, but they are actually excellent and perfectly within acceptable limits, with no flaws whatsoever.
There's also the wedding room. I asked Jiang Zhixing and the bride for their opinions beforehand. The decoration is simple yet sophisticated, with clever ideas everywhere and a very high aesthetic sense.
Even if the woman is satisfied, and her parents are very picky, they can't say it's bad.
The interior is decorated in a festive and lively yet understated manner, and the bed sheets and quilts are made of the finest silk, exuding understated luxury.
The furniture and appliances are all complete, and most of them are imported.
After seeing these two things, the woman was completely relieved.
Having such a thoughtful and capable sister-in-law, it's only right to be overshadowed.
After the woman's female elders returned home, they immediately changed their tune, telling their daughter that after marrying into the family, she should obediently listen to her sister-in-law, not try to stand out, and just follow behind quietly.
