"dad!"
Commander Liao was almost deafened by Liao Yuanjie's voice.
"Your father is deaf even though I'm not, you've made me deaf! I can see your teeth, what's making you so happy?"
"Dad, Comrade Fan Juan has agreed to become my revolutionary partner. I need to submit a marriage application. Dad, can you help me? I only have ten days of leave, and I also need to visit my parents-in-law. The approval process is too slow, so I'll have to wait until the next time to apply for leave."
"Xiao Fan agreed? Good thing, good thing. Wait here. I'll risk my reputation to get things done for you. Go visit your parents-in-law. I have some nice things to give you. It can't be stingy on your first visit. We also need to prepare the betrothal gifts. Why didn't you say so sooner? I'll call your sister and the others."
Commander Huo was overjoyed. He made several phone calls and, upon returning home, unearthed all his treasured possessions.
The three sisters called each other. Since they lived in different places, they sent the second sister, who was the closest and most convenient, to come.
"Finally, my younger brother is willing to get married. We've inquired about the girl, and she's a good one. We can't let her suffer. This was arranged by your eldest sister and brother-in-law, and your third sister and brother-in-law. The girl works in Beijing, and we bought you an apartment that's close to where she lives, so you can go back and stay there when you're on vacation."
The three older sisters were very generous and bought it outright with cash.
"As for home renovation and appliances, ask the young lady for her opinion. The older sisters will pay for it, so don't say you don't want it. When Mother passed away, you were the one she was most worried about. We've all met Mother and been loved by her. From now on, you'll have to live your own life. We'll take care of Father."
Accustomed to a tough and ruthless approach, Liao Yuanjie's second sister rattled off a series of arrangements without giving Liao Yuanjie a chance to speak.
Liao Erjie, who had taken leave, accompanied them directly to the Fan family. The etiquette was impeccable. After discussing it, the two families decided that the banquet was too rushed and would be held at a later time. Once the government approved the marriage certificate, the two would get it first.
To show their sincerity, the property certificate was registered in both Liao Yuanjie's and Fan Juan's names, and the dowry was exceptionally high.
Liao Erjie originally offered to cover all the home appliances and renovations, but Fan's parents refused. They felt that since they were marrying off their daughter, the dowry should not be lacking. The groom's family was so sincere, offering to cover the home appliances and renovations, and also giving their daughter some money as a dowry.
In the end, all the money ended up in the hands of the young couple. Liao Yuanjie didn't take a single penny and gave it all to Fan Juan. Before their vacation ended, they got their marriage certificate and took wedding photos.
“From now on, you will be in charge of our family’s money. You need to take good care of your health. Don’t worry about the old man; he’s in good health. Just visit him when you have time.”
Liao Yuanjie gave his heartfelt instructions, though reluctant to part.
Qin Nian was equally reluctant to leave. Shen Xianjun was carrying large and small bags, and Qin Nian looked at her mother-in-law, whose hair had turned quite white, and wanted to take her with her.
Looking at the youngest son, he couldn't bear to put down his left hand, nor his right hand; he wished he could take them both with him.
"Mom, you must keep this phone with you at all times, so it will be convenient to contact you in the future."
Qin Nian repeatedly emphasized that the emergence of domestically produced mobile phones, which were no longer bulky and had much better signal than before, was a new product from Qianjin Electronics Factory that Fan Juan seized the opportunity to introduce.
The first batch was naturally a special supply. It was only after the research was completed that it was promoted to the public. When the two met, Fan Juan gave Qin Nian several units.
For this purpose, a separate factory was opened. Fortunately, the factory was profitable, otherwise, there wouldn't have been enough money.
