Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan came to the small courtyard of the military family compound. After the wedding, they would live here.
When they opened the door, they saw the courtyard was decorated in a festive atmosphere. Big red wedding characters were pasted on the door, windows, furniture, and appliances. On their wedding day, they would come here after the ceremony in the courtyard.
When I walked into the bedroom, I saw that the bedding on the bed had been changed to bright red, creating a festive atmosphere.
Zhan Yihan put his arms around Su Jinyue's waist from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and pressed his face against hers. "These were all arranged by the wives of the military families in the military family compound. Do you like them?"
"Yeah!" Su Jinyue smiled and nodded. This would be her and Yihan's home from now on, so how could she not like it?
"I've arranged a banquet in the cafeteria for the wedding night. We can just go over and toast," Zhan Yihan said. When his comrades learned he was planning a wedding, they suggested they celebrate together. When the higher-ups learned about it, they agreed.
"Okay." Su Jinyue nodded.
Zhan Yihan rubbed Su Jinyue's tender cheek with his face lovingly, took her hand and said, "I'll take you to meet everyone and give out the wedding candies." Today, he and Jinyue came to the military family compound. In addition to seeing the layout of the military family compound, the most important thing was to distribute their wedding candies to everyone.
Su Jinyue smiled and nodded, then took out a basket of wedding candies from her storage bag. There were seventy or eighty packages of wedding candies in the basket, each containing ten pieces, packed in red plastic bags designed specifically for wedding candies.
Wedding candies today aren't as elaborately packaged as they were in later generations. Even plastic bags are rarely seen, let alone paper boxes. Most people buy candies loose and then buy special wedding candy bags printed with auspicious dragon and phoenix symbols. The family gathers together, chatting while they pack the candy.
Zhan Yihan took the basket and held it in his hand, then took Su Jinyue's hand and walked outside. Even though the basket was not heavy, he was reluctant to let Jinyue carry it.
Zhu Shulan was sitting on the sofa watching TV when she heard a knock on the door. Puzzled, she put down her half-eaten apple, stood up, and walked outside. It wasn't often people knocked on her door. She was an obstetrician and gynecologist, and her rest schedule was different from everyone else's. Only those who knew her well knew her schedule.
Opening the gate, Zhu Shulan's eyes lit up when she saw Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan outside. "Captain Zhan, Sister-in-law Zhan, please come in and sit down." She had been looking forward to Su Jinyue's visit to the military family compound for the past few days, but she hadn't come in for almost a month. When she heard about their wedding, she guessed that Su Jinyue would wait until after the wedding to move in.
Su Jinyue took out a bag of wedding candy from the basket and handed it to Zhu Shulan, "Sister Ma, this is our wedding candy."
"Congratulations! Congratulations! Your wedding is the day after tomorrow, right?" Zhu Shulan took the candy and asked with a smile.
"Yeah." Su Jinyue nodded.
"So after the wedding, are you going to move in?" Zhu Shulan asked. Once Su Jinyue moved in, she would establish a good relationship with her. Su Jinyue was definitely not an ordinary girl, and having a good relationship with her would definitely be beneficial.
Su Jinyue nodded and said, "Sister-in-law Ma, let's talk about this another day. We still have to deliver these wedding candies to other sisters-in-law's homes."
"Okay, you guys go." Zhu Shulan smiled as she watched Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan leave before looking back at the bag of wedding candy in her hand. "As expected, the rich even have chocolate and milk candy." Although living conditions had improved with the opening up of the country, the rich were still few and far between. A single or two White Rabbit milk candies at a wedding was considered exceptional; most weddings were filled with hard fruit candies. Luxury goods like chocolate were unacceptable, let alone wedding candy; some people had never even seen them.
Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan first delivered the vegetables to the few households around their own compound. The military wives were very welcoming, and some even forced some vegetables on them.
After delivering the surrounding items, Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan came to the military family building in front.
The military family buildings are all three-story buildings, with ten households on each floor, most of which have two bedrooms and a living room.
"The family up ahead is Kong Yuzhu, a member of the first company. His wife has lupus, so everyone avoids them. Kong Yuzhu has two children, one fifteen and one seven," Zhan Yihan said. Jin Yue would be living in the military family compound, so he specifically inquired about its conditions.
Walked up and knocked on the door.
After waiting for a while, a middle-aged woman wearing a sweater, with several patches on her pants, a pale face and eyes full of sorrow opened the door.
Guo Ying looked at Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan outside the door in confusion, "Who are you looking for?" Because of her illness, everyone disliked her. Usually, when they saw her going out, they would stay away from her, for fear that she would infect them.
"Mrs. Kong, we are here to give you wedding candy." Su Jinyue took out a bag of wedding candy from the basket and handed it to Guo Ying.
Guo Ying looked at the wedding candy in Su Jinyue's hand but didn't reach out to take it. "Thank you! Please put it on the windowsill. I'm sick and I'm afraid I'll infect you." She pointed to the windowsill nearby. She knew her illness wasn't contagious, otherwise her husband and children would have been infected long ago, but others didn't think so.
"It's okay, just take it. Your disease is not contagious." Su Jinyue said with a smile.
Guo Ying looked at Su Jinyue with some emotion, reached out and took the wedding candy from Su Jinyue's hand, "I wish you happiness!" This was the first time since she got sick that she was not despised by anyone except her family.
"Thank you!" Su Jinyue reached into her bag, took out a pill and handed it to Guo Ying, "This medicine can cure your illness." She is a doctor, and it is her duty to help people cure diseases. Seeing patients recover, she feels a sense of satisfaction in her heart.
"Really?" Guo Ying eyed the medicine in Su Jinyue's hand with some suspicion. If she hadn't known that this was a military compound where outsiders were not allowed in, she would have suspected Su Jinyue was a liar. Although her illness wasn't contagious, the doctors at the hospital told her that it was difficult to cure and asked her to be prepared for long-term treatment. If her two children weren't still grown, she really didn't want to burden her husband and children any longer.
Su Jinyue smiled and said, "You'll know if you try it!"
"I don't have any money." Guo Ying reached out to take the medicine, but pulled her hand back halfway. She wanted to try, but she didn't have any money to give.
"It's free, just take it. We still have to distribute wedding candies." Su Jinyue reached out and took Guo Ying's hand, put the medicine in her hand, and walked towards the house in front with Zhan Yihan.
"Thank you!" Guo Ying bowed to Su Jinyue's back. Regardless of whether the medicine worked or not, she would always remember this favor in her heart.
