Su Ying said hurriedly: "There's nothing wrong, I just think you're more handsome than a few days ago. Have you grown taller? At your age, you shouldn't grow taller."
Han Jingyuan's face turned even redder. "I wore leather shoes at the wedding today. Leather shoes have heels. They look a little bit higher. It's not your illusion."
Su Ying said, "I told you, my feeling is not wrong, but how come you look better with a shaved head? An ugly face can't hide this shaved head."
Han Jingyuan: "Yeah, I didn't care too much. When I went on a blind date with you, I had just returned from a six-month mission and didn't have time to get a haircut."
Han Jingchen shook his head anxiously, "Are you two done yet? You're both getting married for the second time, so can you be less polite? The car is waiting for you."
Su Ying said, "Although this is my second marriage, this is my first wedding. I love to praise my husband. What's your business, little brat?"
Han Jingchen really underestimated this new second aunt. Look, her true nature was revealed right after they got married, and she can't even coax a child.
In the past, Second Aunt at least pretended to be nice in front of Second Uncle, but now she is not pretending at all.
It will definitely be difficult to get along with each other in the future, right?
But seeing that Xingxing was so happy, and that Gu Zhinan and Cancan got along well, he didn't say anything.
For the group wedding, the army arranged cars to pick up the couples and take them to the auditorium.
Su Ying and Han Jingyuan brought their four children with them. From adults to children, the family's appearance was above average, attracting many people to turn their heads along the way.
There are a total of twelve couples this time, only Su Ying and Qiao Lanlan are from a re-formed family, and the other ten couples are all getting married for the first time.
The wedding was originally hosted by Qiao Jiuxiang, but this morning the street director Jin was temporarily replaced as the host because they said Director Qiao was ill and could not come.
Su Ying thought that Qiao Jiuxiang might have known that Qiao Lanlan and Lao Ding had gotten married, and was so angry that he didn't want to come.
It was such a hot day, but the witness, Political Commissar Ji, buttoned his military uniform all the way to the top button.
Su Ying had sharp eyes and saw several fresh bloodstains on Ji Pingliang's neck, probably because he was scratched by Director Qiao early in the morning.
After the wedding ceremony, Qiao Lanlan took some time to run to Su Ying and said a few words of apology to her.
"My aunt originally assigned Captain Han a family building in the east area, but this morning she temporarily changed it to the west area. The house in the west area is smaller and the furniture is not complete. I'm really sorry. I'll switch with you later."
Su Ying didn't have any requirements for where to live. She said, "No need to change. Your family members know about it, right? They didn't make a fuss, right?"
Qiao Lanlan laughed, her laughter full of contempt, "Knowing that I was marrying the head of the logistics department, plus I sent them 800 yuan as a betrothal gift, they were so happy that they couldn't contain themselves. They even advised my aunt not to ruin my marriage."
Her aunt didn't do that entirely for her own good. She just wanted to use her to get married to the Han family and help her husband and son.
If she really married Han Jingyuan, even if the Han family did nothing, this marriage relationship would be enough for her aunt to gain a lot of benefits, both overt and covert.
So Qiao Lanlan married Lao Ding without telling Qiao Jiuxiang, and she only felt guilty for a while.
After the collective wedding, family members who were qualified to be allocated housing for the military went to the service center to collect the keys.
Until she got the key, Su Ying didn't see Qiao Jiuxiang.
I guess she felt ashamed.
Although she did not make a big fuss about her niece's marriage, she did boast to several of her colleagues at work that her niece was going to marry Han Jingyuan, the youngest and most promising man in the military region.
Now she is married to Lao Ding, and Su Ying, whom she originally looked down upon, has become Han Jingyuan's wife. When Qiao Jiuxiang found out about this in the morning, she was almost angry to death.
The staff of the service center asked Su Ying if she wanted to change houses: "Qiao Lanlan said she wants to switch with you, do you want to move to the East District?"
Su Ying smiled and said, "No need to change. We will obey the arrangement of the society. The West District is also good."
"That's fine. Thank you for your family's understanding."
The residential buildings in the west area were newly built and many of them are empty. The one that Su Ying's family was allocated had never been lived in. It had three tiled houses with yards in front and back. There was a bamboo forest behind the yards, and the sound of mountain spring water could be faintly heard.
Although the house is a little smaller, the environment is better than that in the East District.
Su Ying likes this place. Compared with the cramped underground bunker dormitory in the other world, this is a separate courtyard with its own entrance and house.
She couldn't be more satisfied.
The furniture that Han Jingyuan ordered in advance also arrived, including two bunk beds, a square table, four benches, a wooden sofa, and some washbasin racks, desks, etc.
He asked Suying how the room was arranged.
There are three tiled houses in total, with rooms on the east and west sides and a main room in the middle. However, in Su Ying's opinion, this room is large enough for sleeping if it is divided into two rooms, one for the boy and one for the girl. The remaining room will naturally be her and Han Jingyuan's bedroom.
Su Ying pointed to the room on the east side and said, "This room has better sunlight and daylight. We can partition it in the middle and open a separate door on the wall of the main hall to divide it into two rooms. It will be more than enough to put a desk and bunk beds in it and let the four children live there."
Turning to the four children, he asked, "Is this arrangement okay?"
Xingxing and Cancan said, "We don't want bunk beds, we want to sleep in one big bed together."
"OK."
Su Ying asked the two teenagers, "Have you two decided whether you want a king-size bed or bunk beds?"
Gu Zhinan looked at Han Jingchen, who had not spoken for several days, and he had no idea why Han Jingchen was angry.
But Han Jingchen probably doesn't want bunk beds.
He said, "Sister, can I have two 1.2-meter-tall beds? It's not convenient to climb up and down the upper and lower bunks."
"That's fine. Then your desks will have to be squeezed together."
"That's no problem. I can do my homework in the main room." Han Jingchen said quickly.
"Okay, then we need two small beds."
After the distribution, Su Ying looked at the existing furniture. There were currently two 1.5-meter wooden beds.
She thought for a moment and discussed with Han Jingyuan, "You ordered two 1.5-meter beds, which will definitely be enough for two little girls to sleep on. I'm thin, so it won't be a problem for the two of us to squeeze in. Just add two 1.2-meter small beds, and there's no need to modify the current beds. What do you think?"
Han Jingyuan staggered. He had been thinking about whether to separate the west room in the middle so that each of them could sleep in one. Or if he was afraid that people would know that they lived separately, he could just sleep on the floor at night.
Now I actually have a bed to sleep in, and I sleep on one bed.
Han Jingyuan felt as if his heart was bitten by an ant, numb and itchy.
"As long as you don't mind, I have no objection."
Su Ying said: "I don't mind, let's arrange it this way. Can you go and reserve the bed now?"
Han Jingyuan simply said, "Why don't we go together? You can see what else you need to buy, and we can buy it together in the afternoon."
Su Ying thought about it and decided to give each of her four children a gift since they were getting married today.
She expressed her thoughts and then said, "Whatever you want to buy, go over today and pick it out. After today, I won't be so generous anymore."
Even Han Jingchen was excited, "Then I want a pair of sneakers, is that okay?"
"all right."
"It's very expensive. It costs thirty."
Han Jingchen didn't even believe that his new aunt would buy it for him.
Although Su Ying likes to hoard supplies and money, he likes to spend money even more, because in this strange world, one never knows when death will come, so of course one should enjoy life while one can.
She said, "Your second uncle was going to buy me three big things, but I think it would be better if we each picked something we like. That way, everyone will be happy. What do you think?"
"That's good, but you'll suffer a loss."
Han Jingchen scratched his head, "You are really different from the previous aunt."
"Okay, I don't feel at a disadvantage. I want to pick one myself."
…
When I arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, I had to buy everything from pots and pans to oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. However, the edible oil was limited. Once the amount of oil on the grain and oil book was used up, there would be no more oil for the month.
If Su Ying cooks the way she does, this little bit of oil will be used up in a few days.
Without oil and seasoning, the taste of the food would be greatly reduced. She quietly checked the reserves in the space. There was no shortage of oil in the other world. She still had more than 30 barrels of vegetable oil and more than 20 barrels of animal oil in her space.
The animal oil was refined by their team from mutant beasts. The meat of mutant beasts was too tough, but the oil was very fragrant and eating it could enhance physical fitness.
Moreover, time in space is still, so it will not deteriorate no matter how long it is kept.
The supplies in the space can be secretly taken out and used when Han Jingyuan is not around.
After buying daily necessities, Su Ying picked out a watch for herself so that she could check the time. The gifts for the four children had not been bought yet, so Su Ying asked them to choose quickly.
Han Jingchen picked out a pair of his favorite sneakers and finally stopped having a grumpy face.
Seeing the child so happy, Su Ying quietly asked Han Jingyuan, "Your family is well off, right? Why is he so happy about a pair of shoes as if it were Chinese New Year?"
Han Jingyuan said, "My family doesn't like boys. After my eldest brother and his wife passed away, I was in the army all year round. Although my ex-wife, who married me by agreement, didn't let the two children starve, she wasn't very good to them. They just had enough food and warm clothes. I remember buying him a pair of such expensive sneakers two years ago when I came back from the army."
Children grow fast, and the shoes they wore two years ago may no longer be wearable last year.
Su Ying felt a little sad after hearing this. Han Jingchen looked like a troublemaker, but he was actually not that bad.
She said, "Don't worry, I will treat all the children equally in the future. I won't spoil any of them, but I will never be partial to or abuse them."
Han Jingyuan said: "I believe you. I am not worried about Xingxing. I think Jingchen is a little rebellious and I am afraid it will be difficult to discipline him."
He was telling the truth. Every time he came back from visiting his family in the army, Han Jingchen would always complain to him about this and that. His wife was unwilling to follow the army, and he could not often accompany his children, which gave him a headache about educating them.
Su Ying was not worried about the children. In the other world, she could even tame mutant beasts. A teenage boy could not be more difficult to manage than a mutant beast.
She said, "I think it's okay, not naughty."
Xingxing and Cancan also made their choices. They bought two new sets of clothes each, spending twenty-five yuan. Su Ying thought that the two girls were very thrifty and did not choose the most expensive ones, but chose the most suitable ones.
She gave them five dollars each and said, "You two didn't spend thirty, so keep the five dollars for yourself."
Han Xinxing was shocked, "Mom, you are so generous."
Su Ying said, "I'm being fair. Your brother spent thirty on something, so I can't just give you twenty-five."
The two little girls jumped for joy.
"That's very kind of you, Mom, but I want to change the five dollars into change and save it."
"Then go find the salesperson over there and see if they can change it for you."
Han Xinxing held Gu Cancan's hand, and the two sisters ran to a relatively empty counter next door. After a round of praise, the counter saw that the little girl was so cute and gave them change.
Su Ying asked Gu Zhinan if he had made his choice.
Gu Zhinan picked out a pair of ordinary sneakers for only fifteen yuan, and asked, "Sister, can I keep the other fifteen yuan to buy parts and books?"
Gu Zhinan is smarter than his brother and likes to immerse himself in small inventions.
Su Ying readily counted out fifteen yuan and gave it to him.
Nowadays, fruit candies cost two cents each, popsicles cost five cents, and picture books cost only thirty-five cents each. Fifteen dollars is a huge sum of money for a child!
Having bought the items they wanted and saved a large sum of pocket money, Gu Zhinan and Xingxingcancan were very happy and satisfied.
Only Han Jingchen didn't get any pocket money today.
Looking at his brothers and sisters who were so excited, he was dumbfounded. "Second Aunt, why don't you use the money you spent as a reference?"
The watch that Second Aunt bought for herself cost more than one hundred yuan.
Su Ying said: "Why are you competing with me? I'm getting married. When you get married, I won't care if you spend a thousand on your wife."
The boy blushed, "I don't want to marry a wife."
Su Ying: "Haha, Han Jingchen, you'll be slapped in the face in ten years."
Han Jingyuan felt warm in his heart as he watched from the side.
Ever since their brother and sister-in-law passed away, Jingchen and Xingxing haven't been so energetic for a long time.
