The rooms were reallocated, Xingxing and Cancan lived in one room with Su Ying, and Han Jingyuan, Han Jingchen and Gu Zhinan lived in another room.
It was getting dark, and Han Jingyuan said, "Let's go to the state-owned restaurant to eat tonight."
Su Ying nodded and went downstairs. Han Jingchen was kicking the wall downstairs of the guesthouse, like a hedgehog with its fur standing on end.
Su Ying said, "Han Jingchen, let's go to the state-owned restaurant to eat meat, would you like to come?"
When it comes to eating meat, the children can't help but follow suit.
Han Jingchen's family was relatively well-off, but now everything had to be purchased with coupons, and he only ate meat a few times a month in Jing City.
Therefore, I am greedy.
Su Ying wanted to order a plate of braised pork for the children, but Han Jingyuan blushed and said, "We have no meat coupons left. We have to wait until next month."
Su Ying took out the grain, oil and meat coupons that Gu Chengfeng had given her from her pocket and said, "I have them. My ex-husband gave them to me."
Han Jingyuan's eyes dimmed. He had not thought it through. He should have asked his comrades in advance to exchange some meat and food coupons.
Su Ying gave the ticket and he gave the money, and ordered a plate of braised pork and a braised eggplant. This was an island, and there were more fish and shrimp than meat, so he ordered shrimp and fish as well.
In just one meal, all the fish and meat tickets were used up.
In fact, she also stored some basic supplies in her space, such as oil, rice and medicine. She didn't take it seriously at first, but now it seems that these are scarce daily necessities.
During the meal, Han Jingyuan said, "The political commissar has approved the marriage report, and we can get the marriage certificate at any time."
Su Ying also wants to get the certificate as soon as possible, because before that, everything will change.
She said, "My documents and information are all complete. How about going to get the certificate tomorrow morning?"
"OK."
A plate of braised pork only has about ten pieces. Seeing that Han Jingyuan didn't want to eat it, Su Ying picked up a piece of fat and lean pork belly for him.
Han Jingyuan looked up and said, "Give it to the child."
Su Ying said, "They are eating, this is your share."
The four little ones looked at Han Jingyuan, especially Han Xinxing, and swallowed expectantly.
Han Jingyuan thought that it would seem biased no matter who he gave it to, so he quickly made a choice and ate it himself.
The children then lowered their heads and ate their own food.
Su Ying picked up a piece of shiny braised pork with chopsticks. It melted in her mouth. She sighed with contentment. The pork in this world is so delicious.
Gu Zhinan originally wanted to give the meat in the bowl to Cancan, but there was only one piece of meat in his bowl and he was afraid that Xingxing would be unhappy.
Moreover, his sister is different now. Before she lost her memory, she would leave the meat for him and Cancan to eat.
Now, the meat is shared equally among everyone.
He thinks it's good that his sister is the way she is now, because no one doesn't like to eat meat.
He ate his piece of braised pork.
Han Jingchen felt sorry for his sister, "Xingxing, this piece of meat is for you."
Han Xinxing protected her bowl and said, "Brother, please don't sow discord between me and Sister Cancan. Eat your own meat. I don't want it."
Han Jingchen: ...Is it wrong for him to love his sister?
Su Ying praised: "Xingxing is awesome, she is such a good sister. You all need to grow up and eat your own meat."
Xingxing puffed out her chest proudly, "Of course, when I grow taller than my brother, I'll be a big sister."
Han Jingchen: "You are dreaming. How can a girl be taller than a boy?"
"If you don't eat meat, you may not be as tall as me."
"You don't know what's good for you. I won't give you any food."
Han Jingchen ate the meat angrily.
Although there was not much meat, there were still a lot of fish and shrimp left. This time, the children did not refuse and divided the fish and shrimp consciously.
Han Jingyuan saw it all and was happy in his heart. He didn't fight or quarrel. The four children in this reconstituted family should be able to get along well.
He told Su Ying about Qiao Lanlan and Ding Chong, "Qiao Lanlan went on a blind date with Old Ding without telling Director Qiao. Director Qiao still thinks that her niece's marriage partner is me."
"Political Commissar Ji talked to me alone. He said Qiao Lanlan asked him not to let Director Qiao know before the wedding. He hoped that we could cooperate."
Su Ying thought of Qiao Lanlan, who had a pure aura. Her light green aura had many fragments, which showed that she had suffered a lot in the past.
It's not easy to remain optimistic and kind after going through hardships.
She said, "Then let's just pretend we don't know and play dumb."
…
Coincidentally, after Qiao Jiuxiang finished preparing for the group wedding, she didn't want to cook and planned to bring back two ready-made dishes from the state-owned restaurant.
When I walked in and saw Su Ying and Han Jingyuan taking four children to eat, I felt unhappy. It might be because Han Xinxing wanted to play with Gu Cancan that Su Ying and Han Jingyuan met them.
Everything is subject to change before the marriage is established. She has just told her colleagues at work that Han Jingyuan will be her niece's husband, and she will be a relative of the Han family in the future.
Alarm bells were ringing in her heart. If Han Jingyuan fell in love with Su Ying and regretted the blind date with Qiao Lanlan, she would be completely embarrassed.
She couldn't help but run over and said, "Xiao Su, you've already met a lesbian who's ready to get married, so it's not good for you to get too close to a gay man."
Especially with Han Jingyuan.
What does this little devil mean? She must want to steal the man from her niece.
Which man doesn't like to be coquettish? Although Qiao Lanlan is pretty and dignified, she can't compare with the vixen Su Ying. No one can learn her charming peach blossom eyes.
She knew that she must not let Han Jingyuan meet Su Ying before the marriage. As soon as he took the child away, he got together with Su Ying.
Qiao Jiuxiang lectured Han Jingyuan again, "Comrade Han, Su Ying has lost her memory and is not sensible. Why don't you avoid suspicion?"
Both Gu Zhinan and Han Jingchen understood what she meant and stood up angrily, slamming the table.
Su Ying pulled Gu Zhinan to sit down and said, "The adults are talking, it's none of your business."
Han Jingyuan gave the children a look, signaling them not to talk too much.
Then he said, "Director Qiao, you are meddling too much. This is a state-owned restaurant, not your home. I can eat with whoever I want."
Director Qiao didn't expect Han Jingyuan to be such a fickle person. If he had known this, he would not have introduced him to Lanlan.
"Captain Han, don't be so proud. There are divorces after marriage. If my family changes its mind before the wedding, it will be embarrassing for you."
Su Ying smiled and said, "Director Qiao, Comrade Han and I haven't gotten married yet. Don't I have any personal freedom at all? Even if we get married, my husband can't control which man I want to eat with in the future, let alone you."
She even kicked the man under the table, "Han Jingyuan, don't you think so?"
Han Jingyuan: "You are a person with your own ideas. How dare I control you?"
This ambiguous tone made Qiao Jiuxiang fall head over heels in anger. He's flirting with other women before getting married. Just wait and see.
After the collective wedding, let Lao Ding teach her the rules of being a daughter-in-law!
Qiao Jiuxiang was so excited that she didn't even buy any food. After returning home, Ji Pingliang, who had been waiting at home for half an hour, looked at the cold pot and stove and asked, "What are we having for dinner?"
Qiao Jiuxiang was annoyed, "Eat, eat, eat. All you know is eating. I'm so mad at Su Ying and Han Jingyuan."
Ji Pingliang felt guilty, "What's wrong?"
"They were having dinner together in a state-owned restaurant. How shameless! Fortunately, Lanlan can control her husband's character. After we get married, I want to see how Han Jingyuan will act in front of me."
Ji Pingliang felt guilty and scared, "I remember now, Old Xu wants to talk to me about something, I have to go back to the barracks, you eat by yourself."
"Why are you running? I haven't finished what I'm saying yet. Go talk to Lao Ding. A man should be more manly. Ask him to take care of his wife after marriage."
Ji Pingliang: "Okay, I will definitely talk about him."
He was about to die, and Ji Pingliang thought he should just dig a hole and bury himself.
…
The next day, Su Ying and Han Jingyuan went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate, which was a piece of paper with a red stamp on it. With this piece of paper, they became a legal couple protected by law.
Han Jingyuan saw a photo studio in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau and felt a little moved. He wanted to go in and take some wedding photos so that he could send them to his grandfather.
But he didn't know whether Su Ying was willing.
After all, the two of them only agreed to raise a child, and she had no obligation to accompany him to take wedding photos.
Su Ying saw Han Jingyuan hesitating at the entrance of the photo studio, neither going in nor leaving, so she asked, "Do you want to take wedding photos?"
Han Jingyuan's eyes lit up, and some hope rose in his heart, "Are you willing?"
It's just taking photos, why wouldn't she be unwilling? She is even willing to fulfill her husband-wife relationship, let alone wedding photos.
Su Ying walked into the photo studio first, and Han Jingyuan quickly led the four children in, "You guys take pictures too, take pictures however you want."
It just so happened that Qiao Lanlan and Lao Ding were also in the photo studio. They arrived earlier than Su Ying and had already finished taking photos.
Nowadays wedding photos are very simple. Basically people choose green military uniform and take a photo sitting in front of the camera, and that is considered a wedding photo.
Qiao Lanlan was still wearing her green military uniform, looking very heroic. Su Ying was very envious and asked Han Jingyuan, "Can I also wear this to take photos?"
Han Jingyuan was wearing a Type 65 military uniform. He smiled and said, "Sure."
Su Ying went to change clothes happily.
Not only were there clothes for her, but there were also military uniforms for children. Su Ying asked the four children to change into them, "We'll take a group photo later."
She had a single braided pigtail, and Han Jingyuan felt a little awkward, so there was room for another person to be squeezed in between them.
The photographer was anxious, "The man over there married such a beautiful wife, why don't you come closer."
Su Ying had already seen Han Jingyuan's shyness, so she took the initiative to approach him and hugged the man's arm. Only then did the photographer press the shutter with satisfaction.
Su Ying and Han Jingyuan took a group photo, and then a photo of the two adults and four children together. The rest of the time, the four children took more than a dozen photos in one go.
When checking out, Han Jingyuan paid extra to have the studio print two copies, and explained to Su Ying, "Send one to Grandpa, and we'll keep one."
Su Ying heard Han Jingyuan's introduction to his family situation and knew that his mother was still alive, so she asked, "Okay, what about your mother?"
"She doesn't need it."
Since the biological mother didn’t send it, it meant that the relationship between mother and son was not very good. Su Ying did not continue to ask.
"How about going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things?" Han Jingyuan suggested.
Su Ying agreed to marry him, and except for discussing the issue of handing over salary after marriage, she didn't ask for anything else.
Han Jingyuan felt bad.
"I only have more than 20 yuan left on me." Su Ying said truthfully. It's not that she didn't want to buy anything, but she had no money.
Han Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, then blushed when he realized what was happening. He handed Su Ying a passbook and said, "Take this. It was meant for you."
Su Ying opened the passbook, which showed 1,100 yuan. According to the current purchasing power, this was a huge sum of money.
She asked in surprise, "For me?"
Han Jingyuan smiled, "Yes, you can spend it however you want, but this money is all my current savings."
Su Ying was surprised and asked, "How did you save it? Didn't you pay living expenses to your ex-wife before?"
Han Jingyuan explained in a low voice: "In the previous marriage by agreement, I paid half of the allowance every month for household expenses, and saved the remaining half."
Su Ying couldn't help but ask, "You only gave her half, why did you give me eighty?"
Han Jingyuan blushed, not knowing how to explain. Seeing the children chattering, he hurriedly said, "Because I have to raise four children now."
Su Ying thought so too. Han Jingyuan was not only an honest man, but also an honest and responsible good man.
Now that I have money, I do need to buy some daily necessities, but now I live in a guesthouse and I have no place to put them even if I buy them.
She put away the passbook and said, "Let's make do with it for a few days, and then buy it after we get a house after the wedding."
"That's fine."
In the next few days, Han Jingyuan lived in the military camp, while Su Ying and the four children stayed in a guesthouse and ate at a state-owned restaurant.
Time passed quickly. The day before the wedding, the sisters from the Military Service Center sent uniform military uniforms to their family members who were attending the group wedding. They looked neat and beautiful.
On the wedding day, Han Jingyuan came back fully dressed.
The man had taken a shower and shaved, and there was a faint scent of soap on his body.
The more I look at Su Ying, the more pleasing she looks. This marriage agreement is worth it.
Han Jingyuan felt embarrassed when Su Ying looked at him, and thought that he had dressed well for today's group wedding.
He blushed, looked down at himself, and asked, "Is there something wrong with me?"
