After all the important matters were discussed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, the atmosphere in the living room became more relaxed, and the relationship between the two families became much closer than before.
For the welcoming banquet in the evening, the family went to Jufengde, the most famous restaurant in Jicheng, a century-old restaurant specializing in Shandong cuisine.
At the dinner table, Xu Jianguo accompanied Mr. Hu and Hu Zhijun to drink a lot of white wine.
Although Mr. Hu is almost seventy years old, he still maintains the customs he learned in the army when it comes to drinking.
Classic Shandong cuisine dishes such as Nine-Turn Large Intestine, Scallion-fried Sea Cucumber, First-Class Tofu and Fried Double Crisps were all placed on the table, which shows how much Hu Zhijun's family values Xu Jianguo.
After dinner, everyone took a car to the military district guesthouse.
Three rooms were booked, one for Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian, one for Xu Zhengyang himself, and one for Zhao Changshan and Liu Yang.
After taking the keys and sending the Hu family to the car, they went upstairs to their respective rooms.
Xu Jianguo and his family stayed in Jicheng for three days, mainly because Wen Sitian had never been here, so Xu Jianguo decided to take his wife for a good tour.
Of course, Hu Xiaohui will definitely be the guide.
Three days passed in a flash, and it was time for Xu Jianguo and his companions to return.
Hu Zhijun and Tian Guifang took special leave and personally sent Xu Jianguo and his family on the train.
While in the car, Xu Jianguo asked about the two of them getting their marriage certificate. Hu Xiaohui blushed and did not comment.
Xu Jianguo had no objection to the date for the couple to get their marriage certificate, but he still asked Xu Zhengyang to find a chance to ask the old man Xuanjue himself.
Xu Zhengyang naturally nodded and agreed, and told Hu Xiaohui who Xuanjue was.
Soon, after nearly ten hours' drive, everyone returned to Jingzhou.
Because the trip was relatively short, Xu Jianguo parked his car directly in the parking lot outside the train station.
Zhao Changshan was still driving. They first sent Hu Xiaohui back to the dormitory of the 501st Military Region General Hospital, and then went home.
Just like the last time Xu Zhengyang came back, everyone in the house except Xiao Hongdou stayed in the living room, waiting for the three of them to come back.
When Xu Jianguo announced the successful result of the marriage proposal, cheers suddenly broke out in the living room.
Then Daya, Erya, Funiu, Lin Hongxia and Lele surrounded Xu Zhengyang and asked him questions that interested them, with gossipy expressions on their faces.
Xu Zhengyang looked at the women around him helplessly, and looked at his parents for help.
But Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian acted as if they didn't see anything. They just sat on the sofa and started chatting with Lin Hongtao and Xu Pingan.
Finally, under pressure from the five women, Xu Zhengyang honestly told them the whole process of proposing marriage.
…
In the blink of an eye, three days passed, Jingzhou officially entered the hot summer, and Xiao Hongdou also ushered in her favorite summer vacation.
Hu Xiaohui, who received her certificate of completion, also had to report back to her Jinling Military Region.
This was too cruel for the newly engaged couple, but it was an order and as soldiers they had no choice but to obey unconditionally.
After Xu Zhengyang sent Hu Xiaohui onto the train, he came to the platform and looked at her with reluctance on his face.
Hu Xiaohui didn't find it either. Tears kept swirling in her red eyes, and finally fell down when she blinked.
Xu Jianguo naturally knew about the news that Hu Xiaohui was going back to the Jinling Military Region to report, but he didn't say anything, nor did he immediately use his connections to transfer her to Jingzhou.
After all, she came from the Jinling Military Region, and this opportunity for further study was also given by the Jinling Military Region.
So no matter what, she has to go back to Jinling.
With the wedding date of Xu Zhengyang and Hu Xiaohui set, Xu Jianguo's family life returned to peace again.
But this peace did not last long, and was once again broken by Lin Hongxia. The reason was simply because this girl announced that she was in love.
Everyone in the family looked at her in shock, thinking that she had done a great job of keeping the secret, and not a single piece of information had leaked out.
The most shocked among them was Lin Hongxia’s brother Lin Hongtao.
Because Lin Hongxia announced the news when the whole family was having dinner, Lin Hongtao almost spit out the food in his mouth and kept coughing.
Later, after being questioned by Daya, Lin Hongxia revealed the other party's identity information.
After graduating from graduate school, Lin Hongxia stayed directly at Jingzhou Normal University with the help of Xu Jianguo and became a teacher.
The boyfriend she found was her colleague at school and also her classmate from undergraduate to graduate school.
When the two were in school, the boy named Li Xiangdong wrote a love letter to Lin Hongxia, but at that time Lin Hongxia was fully focused on her studies and didn't even consider falling in love.
Later, when Li Xiangdong learned that Lin Hongxia was planning to take the postgraduate entrance examination, he also began to study hard and applied for the postgraduate entrance examination.
The final result was that the two of them went from being undergraduate classmates to graduate school classmates.
Lin Hongxia naturally knew what Li Xiangdong was thinking, and she saw everything he did.
Li Xiangdong is also a native of Jingzhou, and his family is well-off. His father is a director-level official in the Chaoyang District Government of Jingzhou, and his mother is a doctor at the Jingzhou Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital.
Xu Jianguo was not as shocked as Lin Hongtao about Lin Hongxia's love affair. Instead, he thought it was a good thing.
Moreover, since Xu Zhengyang and Hu Xiaohui got engaged, Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian couldn't help but start to worry about Erya and Funiu's marriage.
You know, these two girls are already 34 years old, and they will be 35 after the New Year, but they act as if nothing happened and have no anxious attitude towards getting married.
Therefore, when Lin Hongxia announced that she was in love at this time, Xu Jianguo felt that this could stimulate Erya and Funiu.
After listening to Lin Hongxia's introduction of Li Xiangdong's basic situation, everyone felt that this boy had good conditions. Moreover, in order to pursue Lin Hongxia, he even worked hard to get into graduate school, which also showed his sincerity.
Xu Jianguo didn't say much, just gave Lin Hongxia a few instructions, then mentioned Lin Hongtao under the table, winked at him, and gave him the initiative. After all, he was Lin Hongtao's biological brother.
