Ning Hao's attitude was firm. Gu Zhengfeng sighed, "It's not that we want to do anything, but these people are your blood relatives. If they cause trouble in the future, I'm afraid of Qiao'er's temper. So, I have to give you a heads-up beforehand."
"That Qiao'er is a child who can't tolerate any nonsense."
"Uncle, I know. We haven't been in touch for so many years, so even if we sit together, we're all uncomfortable. Besides, it's not just a problem between my son and me, but also with my mother. It's not that I can't forgive people, it's just that I have no feelings for this father. I've never had this father since I was a child, and I'm used to it. Don't worry, they won't cause any trouble. Not to mention me, even Jiang Qiao will have to think twice."
Gu Zhengfeng nodded and patted Ning Hao on the shoulder. "That's true. I'm definitely not afraid of my daughter. Jiang Qiao's personality and temper are truly ruthless. She's a bit like her maternal grandfather in that respect."
However, since you are about to get married, I am most concerned about not causing unnecessary family conflicts because of this, which would make Jiang Qiao face many problems in the future.
Since you seem to know what you're doing, I won't say any more. Go chat with Qiao'er for a while and see if there's anything else we need. Let's buy it while we have the chance."
Upon seeing Ning Hao, Jiang Qiao teased, "What happened? Did my dad call you in for a talk? Did you get a scolding?"
Ning Hao sat down next to Jiang Qiao with a smile. "How could that be? We just exchanged our thoughts. It's not as serious as you're making it out to be."
Don't worry about it these next couple of days. Your mom and Aunt Jian already prepared a set of clothes for you. I've thought about it, and I think you should wear your military uniform. It's in style now, and it's not too flashy.
Jiang Qiao doesn't have many requirements regarding what to wear. Given the current situation, if you want to dress differently, you have to accept the risk of standing out from the crowd.
She may be highly capable at her job, but in other aspects, she must follow the crowd.
"No problem, it's no big deal. Tomorrow, let's go take photos and visit our hometown. Also, I'd like to see Chen Fang. Has Song Shutian gone back yet?"
Ning Hao nodded. "He said he'd come over when it's held here. Don't tell me you had Lao Chen and the others make preparations secretly?"
"Let me tell you, Lone Wolf isn't that stupid. There are too few unfamiliar faces in the village. Besides, our people are right by the roadside; if someone comes in, they'll be the first to know."
Jiang Qiao sighed, "I'm just worried that, what if this Lone Wolf has a reverse way of thinking?"
Those people can't act according to normal thinking; wiping me out is probably something they dream of doing.
If Song Shutian comes, this might be their best chance to strike. Don't think that just because we have a restaurant by the roadside, we can be careless. Those people are busy; they don't have time to keep an eye on what's happening outside.
I'll go talk to Chen Fang first and see if they've considered it.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Qiao finally got down to business: "Shouldn't you be going to start working properly? You can't go on like this. We can't both be running around outside all the time. I've made up my mind. After things at Lone Wolf are settled, I'll apply to go home and focus on making medicine."
Ning Hao gave a wry smile. "You don't understand, do you? I'm officially working now. However, I'm in the Armed Forces Department, specifically in charge of militia training. How about that? It's much better than my old job where I just drank tea and read newspapers all day, isn't it?"
Jiang Qiao didn't care. "As long as you're happy, it's fine. It's okay for men to be busy. As long as you feel fulfilled and happy every day, that's all that matters."
Life is both long and short. I've come to understand that: live each day to the fullest, don't be too hard on yourself, it's pointless.
Ning Hao took Jiang Qiao's hand and patted it, saying, "Don't worry, with you in the future and our child, I feel happy every day."
We will grow old happily, just like your parents, with joyful companionship.
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "The two of them might argue sometimes. Let me tell you, I have a short temper, so you can't take it personally. If you have any opinions, wait until I calm down before we talk about them. We need to be on the same page when it comes to external matters, and we need to discuss things properly at home."
Ning Hao looked at Jiang Qiao with a smile and said, "From now on, you will be in charge of all the family matters. If you can't solve them, I will. No one is closer to you than my grandparents. My uncle won't take care of them, so I will definitely take care of them in their old age. After all, I was raised by them."
Jiang Qiao didn't mince words, "They're both fine, it's no big deal. Alright, go chat with Grandpa and the others, I need to pack my things."
Just as he finished speaking, Hou Diankui and Jian Ling returned.
"Oh, Qiao'er is awake. You little rascal, you can really sleep. You must be exhausted from all that traveling."
Jiang Qiao chuckled, "Didn't you all receive the packages? They were all carefully prepared, you must be exhausted. Have you eaten yet?"
Jian Ling waved her hand, "I've already eaten. You don't need to bother. Ning Hao, you chat with the old man. I have something to say to Jiang Qiao."
Jian Ling was concerned about Lone Wolf. "There's been no news, and I heard there's another one called Cobra. Aunt Jian, have you heard of this codename before?"
Jian Ling shook her head. "I didn't have it at that time. Maybe I did, but someone at my level definitely wouldn't know."
Jiang Qiao, how about you take me with you next time you go out? I don't know this Tan Jiachang, maybe I'll recognize him when we meet?
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "Aunt Jian, you've finally achieved your current stable life, so please don't get involved. If you really need anything, I won't hesitate to help you. Besides, I'll be living in both the city and the countryside from now on, so you'll definitely need to help me out more."
"Don't think about it too much. Let's go try on some clothes and see if we're missing anything."
When it came to the prepared dowry, not only Jian Ling, but even Wen Jingwan was very interested.
Neither Wen Jingwan nor Jian Ling are skilled at needlework, so it must have been quite a feat for them to make the quilt.
“It wasn’t just us who made this; your Grandma Jiang and the others also helped. For the clothes, we bought the fabric, took the measurements, and had someone make them. The shoes were all bought from the store, and some were mailed back by you. I think they’re enough for me.”
Wen Jingwan prepared four sets of bedding for her daughter. In this era, that was a lot. Some families would combine two old sets of bedding together for a wedding. Where would they get so much new cotton and cloth? Jiang Qiao's bedding was not only all new, but also satin-backed.
Fortunately, Jiang Qiao brought back a lot of things, enough for the two of them to keep busy.
Jiang Qiao nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, it seems I'm not needed anymore. We have enough stuff. I'll buy some more myself later."
Aunt Jian, what happened to my household registration afterwards?
