Chapter 206 Anxious Waiting



Some people immediately inquired about where the red dress was bought and who did Zhao Qingzhu's makeup.

After all, who wouldn't want to get married looking beautiful? Everyone has daughters or sisters in their family.

The wedding process is very simple nowadays. When Zhou Jingsheng, dressed in military uniform, arrived with several comrades to pick up the bride, and after everyone cheered and made a fuss for a while, Zhao Qingzhu, the bride, was taken away.

Because they lived nearby, Zhou Jingsheng even rode his bicycle around the family quarters with his bride before entering the neighboring courtyard.

It had been a long time since the family quarters had seen such a lively and joyous occasion; the courtyard was packed with people who came.

As the regimental commander, Sun Shengli naturally took on the role of officiant at the wedding.

In front of everyone, the young couple took an oath to become a revolutionary couple.

After the oaths were taken, the wedding banquet began.

For this celebratory feast, they even borrowed manpower and equipment from the catering team today.

Zhao Qinglan's house also had many guests. Li Huai offered Daqianmen cigarettes to the smokers and was praised for his spaciousness.

As for the liquor, Li Huai brought out two bottles of Moutai, which required a special permit to obtain, and everyone was incredibly excited.

The guests were very satisfied with the hospitality, and the hosts were also happy.

Those who weren't close to either of the two families and didn't attend later regretted not coming when they heard about the scale of the other family's wedding banquet.

After several days of turmoil, Li Huai had just brought hot water into the house in the evening, intending to let his wife soak her feet, when he saw that she had already fallen asleep.

However, seeing his wife asleep with a smile still on her lips, he could only sigh helplessly.

Fortunately, my wife only has two younger sisters. If there were more brothers and sisters, my wife, as the eldest sister, would have to worry so much that she would be exhausted several times over.

He cherishes his own wife and doesn't want to exhaust her.

Having finished her sister's wedding, Zhao Qinglan felt she had accomplished a major task, so how could she not sleep soundly?

However, perhaps because she slept well, she still woke up at the usual time.

When she woke up, her husband was no longer at work.

Outside, Mrs. Sun had already prepared breakfast.

Because there were quite a few leftover dishes from yesterday, Mrs. Sun only cooked porridge and reheated some of the leftovers.

They had just started eating when Mrs. Sun looked next door.

"Qinglan, do you think we should send some hot porridge to Qingzhu and the others too?"

Thinking that her daughter didn't have in-laws, she naturally took on all the responsibilities.

Zhao Qinglan chuckled. "Mom, Qingzhu is so old, how could she let herself go hungry? Besides, she probably hasn't even gotten up yet."

How can a newlywed couple, with no elders in their family, get up early?

Zhao Qinglan is right.

Last night was the wedding night next door.

After all the guests had left and the door was closed, only the newlyweds remained in the house.

The two had reached a high level of affection, but this was the first time they had done this kind of thing.

By the time this happened, it was too late.

The young couple are sleeping soundly now.

Qu Jianshe and his wife moved out, and Zhao Qinglan was overjoyed when her sister and brother-in-law moved in next door.

After quickly finishing her meal, she went to school with Xiaoduo and the others.

After all the excitement and commotion, people will go back to school and work, and life will continue as usual.

However, when Zhao Qinglan went to the school, she brought some wedding candy and distributed it to all the teachers in the office, especially those who hadn't visited her home the day before.

No one refused the wedding candies that were offered; everyone wanted to sweeten their mouths and share in the joy.

After yesterday's wedding, the news of Zhao Qingzhu's extravagant dowry spread throughout the family quarters and military camp.

No sooner had Zhao Qinglan finished distributing the wedding candies than someone inquired about her younger sister Qingju's marriage.

Although her mother had also considered finding a partner for her younger sister, there was no need to rush. Zhao Qinglan said that her sister's marriage should be decided by her mother, and she, as the older sister, could only relay the message.

No one found it strange; on the contrary, they paid even more attention to Zhao Qingju.

Besides inquiring about her marriage, some people also consulted Zhao Qinglan about her business ventures.

After all, every family has a few people who have returned to their hometowns and are unemployed.

If I can make money by running a small business, it's better than sitting at home all day.

Zhao Qinglan offered some advice on this point, but also advised everyone that even when doing business, one should not take too big a step at once, but only try small steps.

Hiring two employees directly is considered quite unusual these days.

After all, even if people do business, it's mostly small-scale operations within their own families.

People are still afraid that the old problems will resurface.

This is also why Zhao Qinglan is unwilling to publicize that their snack shop is very profitable.

Even to the two shop assistants, they were told not to talk about the situation in the store when they got back, or they would have to quit their jobs.

Those two shop assistants cherished their well-paying jobs, so they kept their mouths shut. When asked questions, they would generally give vague answers, saying that they only did the work and didn't know much else.

Because of their recent marriage, Zhou Jingsheng took three days of honeymoon leave, and the couple came back to Zhao Qinglan's place every day to have a meal or two.

It wasn't that Zhao Qingzhu was too lazy to cook; it was Sun Shi who invited them over to eat together.

It was just a matter of adding two pairs of chopsticks. Since Zhao Qingzhu often ate here, she discussed it with her husband and brought over some rice, flour, cooking oil, and other supplies from home. They also handed over some food coupons as payment for their meals.

In the past, Zhou Jingsheng ate mostly in the army canteen, except for the occasional meal at his uncle Zhou Hai's house. Now he can eat delicious home-cooked meals every day, so he is happy and naturally pleased.
