Qin Feiyang and Cao Jing's wedding was held according to the simplest procedures at the time.
A banquet is set up in the dining hall, and everyone eats and drinks for a lively time, and then the newlyweds are escorted to their new homes. Even if someone wants to make some noise, they just play some popular games to make the bride and groom blush.
The cafeteria is not big, with eight round tables, and the food and drinks on each table are enough for at least ten people.
Sure enough, the number of people who came far exceeded the capacity of the eight tables.
There was only one table with Cao Jing's relatives, and the rest were all Qin Feiyang's comrades-in-arms, some sitting or standing, without any regard for details.
Qin Hanshu sat with Cao's relatives and got to know Cao Jing's parents and sister.
Cao Jing's mother looked quite old-fashioned, with a bun on the back of her head and a slanted-collar jacket. She had a kind expression, and her eyes were always on her daughter, smiling with satisfaction.
The man that Cao's mother remarried looked much older than her. His surname was Li and he was said to be a skilled worker in the factory. He seemed to be quite honest.
Even more excited than Cao's mother, and even with tears in her eyes, was Cao Jing's stepsister, Li Lidan.
Li Lidan looks like her father, with an ordinary appearance, but a kind temperament.
Qin Hanshu filled the cup in front of Li Lidan with water.
Li Lidan noticed it, turned her eyes away from the stage, and said to Qin Hanshu: "Thank you, little sister."
Qin Hanshu smiled politely and said, "Sister Li, you're welcome."
Li Lidan looked at Qin Hanshu and sighed with a smile: "You look like a well-educated and well-mannered girl. It is a blessing for Jingjing to have a sister-in-law like you."
"You're too kind. My brother is so lucky to marry a beautiful and gentle comrade like my sister-in-law."
Li Lidan burst out laughing, "You are such a good talker."
Then, Li Lidan asked Qin Hanshu about many things, including Qin Hanshu's specific situation, whether she would live with her brother in the future, etc.
In short, they were all thinking about Cao Jing.
Qin Hanshu had previously heard from Qin Feiyang that Cao Jing had a good relationship with her stepfather and stepsister, but she didn't believe it completely.
After all, seeing is not believing, let alone relying solely on hearing.
However, Li Lidan does not give people the feeling of being fake.
At this time, Cao's mother also approached Qin Hanshu and whispered, "Aunt-in-law, please thank our uncle for us later. The bicycle he bought for Lao Li is very good. Lao Li now rides it to get off work every day and loves it very much."
Li Lidan said embarrassedly: "Feiyang has already given a betrothal gift of 600 yuan, which is a considerable amount among all the families in our courtyard who marry off their daughters. He even bought my father a bicycle."
Cao's mother glared at her husband with a slight frown, "It was this old man who was mumbling about his broken car and was heard by my son-in-law. Do you think he did it on purpose?"
Father Li's face suddenly turned purple and he kept shaking his head, "No, I didn't mean it..."
The car had already been accepted, and Cao's mother did not blame her husband at this time. She just wanted to use this opportunity to tell Qin Hanshu that their family was not the kind of people who were after money.
"I asked Xiao Jing to take the 600 yuan back to the Qin family. They are just starting their life as a young couple and have a lot of expenses."
In addition to the 600 yuan dowry, Cao's mother also added a little private money for her daughter.
Qin Hanshu also understood that these words were specifically said to her, the in-laws, to show that her family was not the kind of family that would sell their daughter.
Qin Hanshu understood and joked politely: "My brother said that although his position is not high and his salary is not high, he will not let his sister-in-law down even if he eats less."
Cao's mother waved her hands and said, "Feiyang is still young. It's already very good for him to be in this position. Besides, it's so glorious to wear a military uniform! Others envy us for finding such a good son-in-law."
Qin Hanshu and Cao's mother flattered each other, and the atmosphere at the banquet was particularly harmonious and joyful.
The surroundings suddenly became much quieter. Qin Hanshu followed everyone's gaze towards the stage and found that a middle-aged man was speaking.
He looked like a chief-level figure, but there was no rank on his uniform, so I didn't know what rank he was. I only saw Zhou Weiguang busying around behind him with a respectful attitude.
The leader spoke a few words and then left, it only took a few minutes.
Zhou Weiguang, who had just seen the leader off, came back and happened to meet Qin Hanshu's eyes.
Their eyes met in the air for a few seconds, and Zhou Weiguang couldn't help but smile.
He was a man who seldom laughed, and this scared several young officers sitting at the table next to him.
The main thing is that smile is too... flirty!
After Zhou Weiguang walked over, several people started discussing.
"What happened to Zhou Ying just now? What possessed him?"
"He seemed to be looking at someone, but before I could investigate, he looked away."
"Fuck, you're thinking about sex, right?!"
This remark caused several officers to laugh slyly.
I thought the famous black-faced god only cared about work, but it turns out he also misses his wife.
I really hope I can have a sister-in-law soon to help him cool down! So that he won't vent all his excess energy on the people below him!
"Hey, what are you talking about so excitedly?" Qin Feiyang brought Cao Jing to toast.
Several officers pulled Qin Feiyang aside and enthusiastically told him about their findings.
Qin Feiyang was wondering what was going on, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't you know that he has a girlfriend?"
"I thought it was just a rumor and never took it seriously."
"Who is he dating? Lao Qin, do you know?"
"You weren't just looking at his girlfriend, were you? But there aren't many young girls in this cafeteria. Apart from Lao Qin's sister, there are two relatives from Lao Qin's wife's side."
Qin Feiyang glanced at his sister and an idea flashed through his mind.
But deep down I felt that this was too bizarre and there was no way these two people could get together, so after the thought flashed through my mind, it was gone.
"Okay, we don't have to guess anymore. His girlfriend won't stay hidden forever. She will surface one day." Qin Feiyang poured wine for everyone. "Cao Jing and I thank everyone for their wishes. The banquet is simple, please forgive us."
Cao Jing also said a few polite words.
Naturally, the young officers would not let Qin Feiyang go easily, so they forced him to drink a few more glasses.
Cao Jing stood quietly aside and watched with a smile, but she had already started to think about it in her mind.
As luck would have it, she had just seen the entire process of Zhou Weiguang and Qin Hanshu's eye contact. She had not taken it seriously at first, but now after hearing a few people talk about it, she realized it was not that simple.
Thinking back now, there was really some flirting going on in that scene.
Cao Jing felt irritated.
If Qin Hanshu was with Zhou Weiguang, wouldn't she have to come with the army? Maybe she would even have to live in the same building with her.
Then wouldn't her plan to stay away from Qin Hanshu and the plot in the book be ruined?
Cao Jing glanced towards Zhou Weiguang.
This Zhou Weiguang did not appear in the original book. She didn't know him well, but he seemed like a good person.
He has a handsome appearance, a dignified temperament, and possesses a kind of majestic aura that Qin Feiyang does not have.
If such an outstanding person really gets involved with Qin Hanshu, I don’t know if he will be implicated.
However, even if the two are really in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, they haven't made it public, which shows that their relationship is still unstable.
For Qin Feiyang's future, she has to do something to prevent it!
