Seeing Su Jinyue coming out, Zhu Shulan walked over with a smile, "Sister-in-law Zhan, your wedding dress is so beautiful! Where did you buy it?" It must have been expensive.
"This is custom-made." Su Jinyue said with a smile.
"So it's custom-made, no wonder it fits so well." Zhu Shulan smiled as she looked at Su Jinyue. As a woman, she really envied Su Jinyue. Not only was she beautiful and had a good figure, but more importantly, her family was wealthy and could afford to spend lavishly. Unlike her, she had to rely on herself for everything. Otherwise, not only would she not be able to buy clothes, she would barely be able to make ends meet.
Su Jinyue curled her lips slightly, "Sister Ma, the dinner is about to start, please take a seat." She didn't want to talk too much with someone she had no common language with.
Zhu Shulan smiled and nodded, "Who will you sit with? There are only three of us, is there enough room?" If you want to get close to someone, the best place is definitely at the dinner table.
"Jinyue, Yihan." Jiang Muqin waved to Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan. Because they had another meal after returning to the army, they had not eaten much before.
Su Jinyue responded, smiled at Zhu Shulan, and walked towards Jiang Muqin and the others with Zhan Yihan.
Zhu Shulan turned around and saw Jiang Muqin and her family sitting at the same table. Jiang Muqin's family and Pan Jing's family were sitting there. The two families, plus Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan, made up a perfect table. She couldn't help but feel a little depressed. It seemed like sitting with Su Jinyue was out of the question, but sitting at the next table was still possible.
She walked to Ma Junfei and said, "Let's sit at that table." She pointed to the table closest to Su Jinyue.
Ma Junfei nodded and asked, "Where's Lingling?" He was also thinking the same thing.
"She's gone to the restroom. Let's go over there first and save her a seat," Zhu Shulan said. If it was any later, there wouldn't be any seats left. She didn't believe there wasn't someone else who shared her opinion.
Seeing Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan take their seats, everyone present also began to take their seats. They were already a little hungry.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Ma Lingling turned and walked into the cafeteria.
"Lingling, this way." Ma Junfei saw Ma Lingling come in and waved to her.
Ma Lingling was stunned when she saw Su Jinyue, who was sitting at the table next to Ma Junfei and the others. Why was Su Jinyue here? How could she possibly be the bride today? Su Jinyue hadn't been to school recently, and she had assumed she was attending some event again.
Su Jinyue smiled at Ma Lingling. She had no intention of hiding anything from Ma Lingling, but she still hadn't expected that she was Ma Junfei's sister and happened to be her next-door neighbor. What a coincidence.
Ma Lingling came to her senses and walked quickly towards Su Jinyue.
"Su Jinyue, are you Captain Zhan's wife?" Ma Lingling asked in disbelief. If Su Jinyue hadn't been wearing a wedding dress, she really wouldn't have believed that Su Jinyue was the wealthy Zhan sister-in-law her sister-in-law had mentioned.
Su Jinyue smiled and nodded, "We will be neighbors from now on."
"Lingling, do you know Sister Zhan?" Zhu Shulan asked in surprise. She didn't expect Lingling to know Su Jinyue.
"Sister-in-law, Su Jinyue and I are classmates." Ma Lingling nodded.
"Classmates? Isn't Sister Zhan a military doctor?" Zhu Shulan looked at Su Jinyue in surprise. Her husband told her that Su Jinyue was also a doctor like her, but she was a military doctor. He didn't know which military hospital she was in.
Recently, there have been reports in the newspapers about Chinese medicine practitioners obtaining TCM certification and entering the European market. Su Jinyue seemed to be part of the delegation going to Europe, but she felt that Su Jinyue must have gone because of her family connections. Otherwise, how could her medical skills be so good at such a young age?
Now that she knew Su Jinyue and Lingling were classmates, she was even more certain of her suspicions. Although Lingling was already a sophomore, it was impossible for her to actually treat patients. To become a doctor, one must go through a practical process.
"Su Jinyue is a doctor, and her medical skills are excellent. Sister-in-law, didn't you read the newspaper? Su Jinyue defeated a famous Japanese doctor and brought back the bronze acupuncture statue," Ma Lingling said proudly. She has always been proud to have a classmate like Su Jinyue, and she also regards Su Jinyue as her role model.
"I see, Sister-in-law Zhan is truly remarkable, possessing such excellent medical skills at such a young age," Zhu Shulan praised. While she believed Su Jinyue's medical knowledge, she didn't believe she could defeat the renowned Japanese physician, given her age and educational background. It was likely that those who traveled with her were afraid to offend Su Jinyue and deliberately attributed the credit to her.
Ma Lingling smiled and nodded, "Su Jinyue is the pride of our Medical University! Su Jinyue, when will you return to school?"
"I'll be back next week," Su Jinyue said. She was also going back to take the final exam.
"So, will you be living in the military area from now on?" Ma Lingling asked. If Su Jinyue lived in the military area, they could go to and from school together.
Su Jinyue nodded and saw the dishes being brought out from the kitchen. "Ma Lingling, I'll talk to you when I'm free."
"Okay." Ma Lingling nodded. She also knew that today was not a good time to chat.
As the dishes were served, the banquet officially began.
"Let's all sing a song for Captain Zhan and his wife, and wish them a long and happy marriage!" Wang Yanlei stood up and suggested. A military wedding should naturally have a military style.
"Okay!" everyone responded in unison.
"Then let's sing a song called 'Where You Are, There I Am', okay?" Wang Yanlei asked everyone with a smile.
"Okay." Everyone responded in unison again.
"Then I'll start by traveling thousands of miles to send you blessings and joy..."
“The stage is a chariot, driving into every outpost. Wherever you are, there will be me. No matter how cold or hot it is, the bloody nature of a soldier will bloom, and soldiers are supreme. Keep it in mind in your heart. Wherever you are, there will be me. No bullets or rain of bullets can stop us. We shoulder the same responsibilities. Let’s sing the battle song of a strong army together…” The loud military songs resounded throughout the cafeteria, adding a different masculine flavor to the wedding, but surprisingly there was no sense of incongruity, as if it should be so.
When the singing ended, Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue stood up, raised their glasses to the crowd and said, "Thank you all for your blessings! This is a toast to everyone. Cheers!"
"Cheers!" Everyone stood up and raised their glasses.
