The next day, Fang Jie got up early and made zucchini and egg dumplings for the family.
Su Wanzhi and Zhou Xiongguang couldn't help but swallow as they looked at the several large plates of plump dumplings.
Su Wanzhi praised, "Da Rong's wife, you are really capable!"
Fang Jie urged them, "Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
After a hot meal of dumplings.
Song Darong and Fang Jie then got busy.
Song Darong had already chosen a date, and had chosen dates for both sides.
The bride's family holds their wedding first; the groom's family holds theirs after the Lunar New Year, at the beginning of the new year.
Fang Jie sought help from Sister Liu.
When Sister Liu learned that Song Fanxing and Zhou Zan had gotten married, she felt sorry that her son was not lucky enough, but she was happy for Song Fanxing.
Zhou Zan often came over, and she could tell that he was an outstanding child.
Back then, Zhou Zan's father sacrificed himself to save her husband, and she has always been grateful to the Zhou family.
Zhou Zan came several times, and she and Commander Fu invited him to their home for dinner several times, but Zhou Zan did not go.
I wonder how much Zhou Zan knows about what happened back then, and whether he harbors resentment towards them.
They felt guilty all along.
Perfect timing, this time she'll make it up to them properly.
Sister Liu treated Song Fanxing and Zhou Zan's marriage as her own business, busying herself with everything.
Sister Liu had experience in organizing her eldest son's wedding a few years ago.
With her there, Fang Jie felt at ease. During this time, Sister Liu and Commander Fu invited Zhou Xiong Guang and Su Wan Zhi to their home.
It's unclear what they said, but both Zhou Xiongguang and Su Wanzhi were wiping away tears when they came out.
Song Fanxing could roughly guess what they were talking about.
But she didn't ask.
The elderly couple must have been thinking of Zhou Zan's parents again. They passed away at such a young age. It must have been heartbreaking for the two elderly people to bury their son.
Mentioning those wounds once is like rubbing salt into the wounds of two elderly people.
That's too cruel! All she can do now is stay by her side.
She accompanied the elderly couple as they strolled around the area.
The military base is located in a remote area, but the environment and air quality are good.
Zhou Xiongguang and Su Wanzhi felt refreshed and energetic after just a few days here, as if they had become several years younger.
They attributed it to the fact that good mountains and rivers are good for people.
They didn't know that their bodies were so healthy because the food they ate was irrigated with spiritual spring water, and even the water they drank at home was spiritual spring water.
Zhou Xiongguang felt that he could run 10 kilometers without any problem.
Song Fanxing also took them on a tour of the pig farm.
The elderly couple were quite surprised, as it was their first time in such a place.
Su Wanzhi: "Xingxing, do you raise all these pigs?"
Yes, all of them.
Zhou Xiongguang: "No wonder you're so rich!"
Song Fanxing chuckled.
She is indeed very rich, and she has saved up quite a bit in her space, enough to buy several courtyard houses.
Su Wanzhi was thrilled to see so many pigs. It was like seeing countless vibrant lives, and her mood improved unconsciously.
Seeing the two elderly people's excited smiles, Song Fanxing felt relieved.
After Song Fanxing returned to school, they would go to the pig farm every day, walking there and back to their family compound, just to get some exercise.
After returning to school, Song Fanxing wrote a letter to Zhou Zan to inform him of his family situation and the date of their wedding.
Song Darong also notified his eldest son, Song Yaohui.
Ye Fangxuan felt very unhappy seeing her mother-in-law busy helping Song Fanxing with her wedding every day.
She's the daughter-in-law, and she's pregnant with their Fu family's child. Shouldn't her mother-in-law be taking care of her? Are other people's affairs more important than hers?
That day, Sister Liu was going to run next door again.
Today she's going to help Song Fanxing sew her wedding quilt.
Fang Jie was generous; she prepared 28 wedding quilts for her daughter, and all the women in the residential compound went to help.
We also need to make 28 sets of bed sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases, pillow towels, etc.
There are also 28 pairs of shoes and 28 sets of clothes, so 28 sets of clothes also need to be made for the groom.
Everyone next door has been incredibly busy lately.
Fang Jie was well-liked in the family compound, and Song Fanxing was someone everyone had watched grow up.
Everyone was willing to help.
Fang Jie was grateful to everyone, and those who helped received a gift in return.
Today I'll pack some flour for everyone to take home, and tomorrow I'll give everyone some fruit to take home, or a bag of peach shortbread and a bag of candy for each person.
Everyone was overjoyed.
Just as Sister Liu was about to leave, Ye Fangxuan suddenly clutched her stomach and cried out in pain.
"It hurts...my stomach hurts so much..."
Sister Liu quickly turned around and walked a few steps to Ye Fangxuan to help her up.
What happened?
"Mom, my stomach hurts."
"Then you should quickly lie down on the bed, and I'll go and call the army doctor to take a look at you."
She helped Ye Fangxuan to bed and hurriedly went out to call the army doctor.
After the military doctor arrived, he examined Ye Fangxuan and said there was nothing wrong, so he told her to rest in bed and observe.
Ye Fangxuan asked tearfully, "Doctor, is my child alright?"
Sister Liu: "Didn't the doctor say it's nothing? Why are you crying? It's not a big deal, why are you crying over nothing?"
Sister Liu disliked Ye Fangxuan; she found fault with everything about her.
Ye Fangxuan: "Mom, but I'm still worried. This is my first child with Yichen, I'm afraid..."
Before Sister Liu could say anything more, the military doctor spoke up, "Pregnant women are prone to mood swings during pregnancy. Family members should be understanding, spend more time with her, show her care, and help her relieve her emotions. She'll be fine in a few days. The baby is fine; it's probably just caused by her emotional fluctuations."
What could Sister Liu say? She could only agree.
Sister Liu went to see the military doctor off.
Ye Fangxuan revealed a smug smile.
When Sister Liu returned, she said, "I'm going next door to help your aunt. Call me if you need anything."
Ye Fangxuan never expected that even in her condition, her mother-in-law would still go to help.
She said with dissatisfaction, "Mom, the doctor just said that I'm pregnant now and need someone to accompany me."
Sister Liu rolled her eyes. "It's just being pregnant, why are you making such a fuss?"
When she was pregnant with her two sons, she lived in her hometown, working in the fields and cooking with her family. She was even working in the fields on the day she gave birth.
The second child was even born directly in the paddy field.
It was the rice planting season.
Why is Ye Fangxuan so dramatic about being pregnant?
"Mom, my stomach hurts again."
Ye Fangxuan bent over and shouted.
Sister Liu had no choice but to stay and watch over her.
Even if she disliked Ye Fangxuan, she still had to consider the child in her belly.
It's lunchtime.
Ye Fangxuan: "Mom, your grandson is hungry and wants to eat meat."
Sister Liu resigned herself to her fate and cut off a piece of meat to stir-fry.
Ye Fangxuan happily rolled around on the bed, and her stomachache was gone.
Sister Liu cooked the meal, ate it, patted her bottom, and went back to bed.
For several days in a row, Ye Fangxuan lay in bed pretending to be unwell, preventing Sister Liu from going next door to help.
Fang Jie roughly guessed what Ye Fangxuan was thinking, but she didn't say anything.
Ye Fangxuan was, after all, a pregnant woman.
When she encountered something she really didn't understand, she would run to ask Sister Liu.
Finally, the dowry was all prepared before the wedding.
