"How can you see the wedding dress underneath while wearing clothes? I think that's unnecessary," Deng Jianyan said softly.
"Go ahead and wear it. I wore a white wedding dress when I got married, and the weather wasn't warm then either. Besides, my belly was much bigger than Sister Xiaoyue's back then." Sister-in-law Xiao Si said casually, and Qi Si was so embarrassed that he couldn't lift his head.
My sister-in-law and cousin's wife both smiled secretly.
"If you ask me, we should just hold the wedding here. Why bother going back to the military region to pick them up?" Commander Zhou's thinking was simpler.
"The wedding is mine! What are you doing!" Zhou Yue pouted, about to cry.
"I'll warm up the car first, so Sister Xiaoyue won't get cold," Xiao Chen interjected.
"That car is still drafty, so what if it gets hot?" Qi Si said jokingly. Zhou Yue glared at him without any politeness, which scared him so much that he ran outside to smoke.
The whole family spent half a day in Building 4, but they couldn't get to the bottom of it. In the end, it was the wife who stepped in to settle things.
She asked her sister-in-law to call Qin Xiaoyu over, and soon the grandmother and granddaughter came over together.
When her cousin-in-law saw them arrive, she quickly opened the door to greet them.
Qin Xiaoyu carried a large bundle, placed it on the table, and opened it. The people in the room were all worldly-wise, and they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. The lady smiled demurely.
"My child is getting married, and I don't have much to give as a gift. This small present is acceptable."
This is a silver fox fur cloak, entirely silver-white, with a smooth surface that seems to shimmer with light. It feels soft and heavy to the touch, and once draped over the body, it instantly warms you up.
The plan was that the wedding procession would start from the military region's old home and then proceed to the new house. It's quite a journey, but with this cloak, the journey of dozens of miles won't be cold.
"Madam really has the best stuff!" Zhou Xing's mother praised, and Deng Jianyan and Commander Zhou stopped expressing their opinions, finally reaching an agreement.
Commander Zhou kept Zhou Yue's wedding very low-key.
Qin Xiaoyu originally wanted to print some invitations for Zhou Yue, which would look nice when distributed, but when she asked Commander Zhou for his opinion, he directly rejected the idea.
"Keep a low profile and don't cause them any trouble."
After his retirement, a new leader took office. As the saying goes, a new emperor brings a new court; it's essential to purge the influence left by the previous leader before setting up one's own plans.
Therefore, his former subordinates all had to rejoin the party. Commander Zhou had been leading troops for many years and understood these things. In addition, his new life was very comfortable, so he was very confident and did not care about other people's actions or opinions. He consciously drew a line between himself and them and did not want to cause trouble for others.
He only notified Staff Officer Zheng; he didn't contact anyone else.
Picking up her from the military region was Zhou Yue's request; she felt it was a milestone, a ceremony for her to say goodbye to her new life.
Although that's what she said, Qin Xiaoyu understood her best. She not only wanted to say goodbye to her old life, but also kept a thought: Zhou Xing would see his sister get married.
The first night, Qin Xiaoyu and Xiao Jin stayed with Zhou Yue in the old house in the military area. Originally, Qin Xiaoyu just wanted to sleep with Zhou Yue and talk. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jin squeezed in too, and the three of them slept on one big bed.
Xiao Jin is still a child, and she fell asleep quickly after a long day.
Qin Xiaoyu was afraid that Zhou Yue would not sleep soundly, so she moved her to the side and slept in the middle herself, so as not to bump into Zhou Yue.
“I grew up in this house. When I first got married here, I was really naive and thought this would always be my home. But one day I suddenly realized that this was not my safe haven at all. It turns out that there is no sense of security in the adult world,” Zhou Yue said softly.
"And now?" Qin Xiaoyu rested her head on her shoulder.
“Now, I’m not afraid of anything. I have this child, I have Lao Deng, and I have you all.”
"I won't stand for it! Why is he in front of us? Who does he think he is!" Qin Xiaoyu was furious when she heard this. Her voice was a little loud. Xiao Jin rolled over and threw her long leg, which hit her.
“He’s my whole world.” Zhou Yue smiled sweetly.
"Shameless, I'm ignoring you. Back at the military guesthouse, how did you beg me..." Qin Xiaoyu couldn't continue. Zhou Xing was still alive and well back then. Tears welled up in her eyes.
"Don't cry. Let's have a good time tonight. Tell him what's on your mind and he'll hear it. He'll bless us." Zhou Yue turned around and hugged Qin Xiaoyu, telling her not to cry, but tears also fell from her eyes.
“Sometimes I think, if it weren’t for me, would he have left so early?” Qin Xiaoyu was already sobbing uncontrollably.
“You’re a sensible person, why are you thinking such foolish things? He’s a soldier, going to the battlefield is his mission, those things have nothing to do with you, he would have gone whether you were there or not. On the contrary, I feel guilty for him because he couldn’t protect you.” Zhou Yue sighed softly.
"Who would have thought that someone as carefree and irresponsible as him would suddenly become brave?" Qin Xiaoyu sighed.
"He was still my father's son, and his blood was hot at heart, so it's not surprising. It's just that my father didn't realize his true father's worth until he lost him. It's a pity."
"Look, we're talking about this again. Tomorrow is your special day, be happy. Brother Deng is a trustworthy person, Sister Xiaoyue, you will be happy."
“Him?” Zhou Yue smiled.
"I'm so curious, Mom is more cunning than a spy. How did you manage to do it all in secret?" Qin Xiaoyu asked curiously.
“When we were in Guangzhou,” Zhou Yue said with a chuckle.
"Oh, aren't you ashamed? You're still laughing." Qin Xiaoyu pinched Zhou Yue's face twice.
“Xiaoyu, let me tell you, you have to find the right man. Don’t suffer like me from a scumbag. I only now realize what kind of life I had with Chen Kai. He was sick and abused me all along. I’ve never hated anyone in my life, but I will never forgive him!” Zhou Yue said indignantly.
"My God, Sister Xiaoyue, how much suffering have you endured?" Qin Xiaoyu finally realized that Zhou Yue had suffered even more than she had imagined.
"Being with Xiaojin's dad made me realize that being a woman is a blessing. I thank God for giving me such a wonderful man. Ah, you have no idea how good he is..."
"Oh dear, oh dear, I don't want to know! I can't say anymore, aren't you blushing?" Qin Xiaoyu covered her ears in embarrassment, afraid that Zhou Yue would get anxious and reveal more details. This silly girl was capable of such things.
"Is this the attitude of a married woman? You've already had two children, are you pretending to be innocent?" Zhou Yue retorted angrily.
Qin Xiaoyu was speechless, so she simply went back to bed and pretended to be asleep.
The three of them got up early to do their hair and makeup.
"Xiaoyu, you and I are really destined to meet. You were the one who did my hair the first time." Zhou Yue was still a little sad. She remembered the time when she lost her earring and Zhou Xing wrongly accused Qin Xiaoyu.
