marry

[To be honest, ever since I watched the plot simulation, I often suspect that I have read a fake original novel]

[Who said it wasn't? In the original novel, the heroine was named Xu Lili, and the daughter of the Xu family was named Meng Jue. After the switch, they only changed their surnames. I was originally thinking that if the switch didn't work, the heroine would be named Meng Jue, but it turned out that she was called Meng Xi.]

[Hahaha, I also think Minmin is awesome! There is nothing she can't do, only we can't think of it! ]

[Who could have imagined that? In the original novel, the female boss who lost faith in love because of her mother's scumbag husband, and the male boss who lost faith in marriage because his ex-wife ran away with him when he was in the most difficult time, actually got together in this plot simulation that claims to be 100% true to the plot! ]

[Don't say it! You really shouldn't say it! This CP is really attractive, I want to ship it~]

…

When the barrage saw this, Ye Min looked away as if nothing had happened and looked at the person standing in the crowd with a smile on his face.

Qian Xiaoyun returned to Jiangcheng three months ago, at the end of June. A few days before she left, Ding Yang proposed to her and quickly applied for marriage.

Because Qian Xiaoyun was from Jiangcheng, thousands of miles away from the military base, the background check took a long time. After completing the entire process, it was not until mid-August that Ding Yang's marriage application was approved.

After the application was approved, Ding Yang took a half-month leave to go to Jiangcheng, meet Qian Xiaoyun's family, propose marriage, and complete the engagement and marriage arrangements. Qian Xiaoyun also sold his job to a relative and followed Ding Yang to the army.

Originally they planned to get married after returning to the army, but Ding Yang thought about it and decided to give Qian Xiaoyun a more formal wedding instead of holding the wedding banquet in a guesthouse or at the Meng family's place.

So after obtaining Qian Xiaoyun's consent, he asked his leader for help, got the key to the vacant house before getting the marriage certificate, and started the renovation work.

Ding Yang got married late, and his social status in the family compound was not high, so the house he was allocated was naturally average. In terms of newness and age, it was not as good as Ye Min's house.

However, the army arranges people to repair the vacant houses in the family compound every year, so the main body of the house is good, only the doors, windows and broken tiles need to be replaced. The second bedroom is not considered for the time being, and new furniture must be bought for the master bedroom.

In addition, because the house was going to be used for a wedding, he also got a bucket of lime powder and repainted the rooms and the main room.

After all this busy work, more than half a month had passed. After the house was painted, it still needed to be ventilated, so the couple, who had originally planned to hold their wedding in late August, did not get their marriage certificate until early October.

The couple's wedding date was set on the first Sunday after they received their marriage certificate. This day was a day off, and it was a good day for a wedding and a wedding banquet.

Because the wedding was held in the army, only Ding Yang's comrades and friends attended. Ye Min was the only relative of Qian Xiaoyun who attended the wedding.

Oh no, there are also brother and sister Meng Zheng and Meng Xi.

Meng Cheng didn't mind filling in the numbers, but he was arrested for being a strong man and had to help Ding Yang drink, so he gave up the idea of ​​filling in the numbers.

In addition, no relatives were present on either side. Qian Xiaoyun held the engagement and wedding banquets together. Ding Yang's was similar. While the house was being ventilated, Ding Yang took another ten days off and took Qian Xiaoyun back to his hometown to meet his parents and set up a simple banquet.

In addition, both sets of parents are old, busy with work, and live far away, so when the two got their marriage certificate and held a wedding banquet, they did not come.

This kind of situation is not uncommon in this era. Frugality is advocated now. In order to respond to the call, some people do not even take wedding leave. On the night after work, they ask their leaders and colleagues to be witnesses and end the day by singing a song "The East is Red".

Compared to them, Ding Yang and Qian Xiaoyun's wedding was quite grand. Basically, all procedures were followed, including the bride-picking ceremony and banquet. The only difference was that the wedding ceremony was changed to taking an oath under the statue of the great man.

Because Qian Xiaoyun's hometown was too far away, she left from Ye Min's house.

After picking up the bride, Ding Yang and his men drove around the outside of the family compound, entered through the main gate, and drove to the new house allocated by the troops.

The oath-taking process is relatively simple. The officiant will first briefly talk about how the two people met, why they came together for the revolutionary goal, and hope that they will support each other and make progress together in the future.

The two newlyweds then gave speeches respectively, and finally the whole group sang together.

At this moment, the two people surrounded in the middle were singing. Although they were singing red songs, an unintentional glance between the two of them could make one's smile brighter and the other's expression shy yet full of joy.

After singing the song, the ceremony was over and everyone started to eat.

If the wedding is held in Jiangcheng, the bride will have to eat alone at a table in the new house, with classmates and friends sitting with her.

This is a military unit, and the guests come from all over the world, and the rules are different. Plus, Qian Xiaoyun and Ding Yang aren't the kind of people who care much about rules, so the two of them sat together.

But they didn't always sit together, because in the army, banquets were rarely seated by family. Generally, those who drank sat together, and those who didn't drink sat together. Also, because most of the drinkers were men, sometimes there were two tables of mixed men and women, but most of the time they sat separately.

Ding Yang was the groom, so he had to drink, so the table where he sat was mostly filled with gay men. Qian Xiaoyun didn't drink much, so after following Ding Yang's toast, he sat at the gay men's table for a while before going to eat at Ye Min's table.

Ding Yang had been in the army for nearly ten years. After being promoted to officer, his salary had been considerable. In addition, his family was well off and his parents did not need any financial support from him, so he had a considerable amount of savings.

He was not a stingy person. He gave Qian Xiaoyun 666 yuan as a gift for the wedding. In three rounds, except for the sewing machine, the other three items were all prepared. The banquet was also very good, with six meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes and two cold dishes, and everyone was very satisfied with the meal.

Well, not everyone was just there to eat. The people at the table where Ding Yang was sitting were drinking the whole time. Until Ye Min and the others had eaten and drunk their fill, there was still half of the food left on their table, and nearly half of the people were gone as well.

Although Meng Cheng didn't fall down, he was about to do so. Most of the wine that others had forced Ding Yang to drink went into his stomach. If he didn't have a good alcohol tolerance, he would not have been able to hold on until now.

But even if he could still hold on, he really didn't want to drink any more. He had been busy all day and didn't eat much. He had hoped to have a few bites after the meal started, but he didn't expect that his comrades were really ruthless and all wanted to get Ding Yang drunk. Even Ding Yang, a strong man, didn't eat much after sitting down, and just drank the wine.

Now his stomach is full and empty. The fullness is all from the wine, and the emptyness is because there is nothing else but water.

Uncomfortable.

Seeing a comrade holding up a glass of wine and reminiscing about the past, and about to toast with Ding Yang, Meng Cheng really had no choice but to wink at his friend who was almost tongue-tied from drinking.

Although Ding Yang didn't drink as much as Meng Cheng, his alcohol tolerance was not very good either. He was almost dizzy and his brain was working slower than usual. He didn't understand what his friend meant after seeing his look. He took a big sip from the glass before he vaguely understood what he meant. He put down the glass and lay down on the table.

"Old Ding? Old Ding?"

Meng Cheng called out twice in a pretentious manner, and when he saw that Ding Yang didn't move, he looked up and said, "Old Ding is drunk."

Some comrades did not believe it and shouted, "It's impossible. Lao Ding can drink so much, how could he get drunk so quickly?"

He stood up with his glass in hand while yelling, and walked around Ding Yang to push him, wanting him to get up and continue drinking. But Ding Yang closed his eyes and ignored him. After a while, he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about me! Let's continue drinking!" He sat up straight and raised his hand, but lay down again as soon as he finished speaking.

If everyone was still skeptical about whether he was drunk just now, after his performance, no one suspected that he was pretending to be drunk anymore.

Meng Cheng also took the opportunity to call two young men from the camp and asked them to help Ding Yang into the house. After that, he asked everyone to sit down: "Don't worry about Old Ding, let's continue drinking."

He said this but didn't add any more wine to his glass. He just held the empty glass and chatted with everyone, grabbing some food to fill his stomach.

Even though everyone drank so hard when Ding Yang was around, Meng Cheng was not the only one who felt uncomfortable drinking. After the groom fell down drunk, no one wanted to drink so much anymore, and they all reached for their chopsticks while chatting idly.

Another half hour passed, and everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, and their stomachs were empty, so at Meng Cheng's suggestion, the party ended and everyone went home.

They can leave, but Meng Cheng can't. As Ding Yang's best friend, he has to help clean up the mess.

Fortunately, Ding Yang invited unemployed military wives to help with the banquet, and they were responsible for collecting the dishes and maintaining cleanliness. Meng Cheng only needed to organize the guests who were still sober to send away the drunk ones.

After seeing off the last guest, Meng Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and walked through the yard into the house. He saw Ye Min sitting in the main room, stepping on the crib. He walked over lightly and asked, "Is An An asleep?"

"Yeah." Ye Min responded, looking up and asking, "Have all the guests left?"

"Everyone's gone. Where's Meng Zheng?"

"I went out to play with Dongdong and the others."

Qian Xiaoyun, who was taking care of Ding Yang in the master bedroom, heard the noise and came out. He asked the same question as Ye Min. After getting the answer, he expressed his gratitude to the couple.

Meng Cheng said, "You and Lao Ding are both friends of my husband and me, so it's only right that you help. Is Lao Ding okay?"

"He fell asleep. I asked Sister Li to make some hangover soup for him. When he wakes up, just give him a bowl of it." Qian Xiaoyun said, "You are all tired after a day's work. Go back and rest early. We will treat you to a meal in a few days after we have taken care of the housework."

Ye Min thought that there was nothing to do next, so he said, "Okay, let's go back."

Qian Xiaoyun nodded and asked, "Is An An asleep? How about letting her continue to sleep here with me, and I'll send her back to you when she wakes up?"

The little girl has a bad temper and will cry if she is woken up because she didn't get enough sleep.

Under normal circumstances, Ye Min might not be polite to her. Anyway, whether she came to the army to relax before or to get married this time, Qian Xiaoyun helped her take care of An An.

But today was Qian Xiaoyun's wedding anyway, so it was inappropriate to leave the child to her care, so she waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I'll just hold the child carefully."

As he spoke, he bent down and carefully picked up the girl. Meng Cheng then carried the cradle and walked home with her side by side.

…

Although Meng Cheng was not as drunk as Ding Yang, he did not feel well either. He vomited once after returning home, washed his hair and took a shower, lay on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

He slept until it was gray. An An, who had slept for half the afternoon like him, was awakened by crying loudly.

He had a headache after waking up. He held his forehead to relax for a long time. He was not fully awake until Ye Min finished feeding him. He picked up the watch on the bedside table and looked at it: "It's so late?"

Ye Min looked up when she heard the voice and saw that his brows were furrowed and he seemed uncomfortable. She wiped the girl's mouth with her handkerchief and asked, "Do you want to drink some sobering soup?"

There are many ways to make hangover soup, but the common point is that they are all unpalatable, either too sweet or too bitter, or with ginger. Meng Cheng declined the offer and waved his hand, saying, "I'm fine. Do you have any food at home?"

"No, let's go to the cafeteria to eat later." They got up today and were busy with Qian Xiaoyun and Ding Yang's wedding, so they had no time to go to the vegetable market.

Meng Cheng had no objection and said, "That's fine. Zheng Zheng hasn't come back yet?"

"I don't know where he went. Wait a minute. It's dinner time now. Maybe he will be back soon."

Ye Min was right. Meng Cheng had just gotten up and put on his clothes when he heard Meng Zheng's voice from outside: "Mom and Dad! I'm back!"

Before the couple could say anything after hearing the sound, An An, who was sitting on Ye Min's lap, became excited first. She bounced her little body up and down, grinning and shouting, "Ah! Ah!"

The little girl turned sixty earlier this month. She has grown a lot taller than when Qian Xiaoyun last came to the army. She has also started to speak, and in addition to "ah ah", she can also say "ya ya".

Although these are meaningless words, those who know An An know that when she shouts "Ahhh", she is usually happier. On the contrary, if she shouts "Ya Ya", it means that the girl is angry.

When Meng Zheng ran in from outside, he covered his face with his hands and then let go and jumped in front of An An. The little girl's face was full of smiles and she giggled.

Meng Zheng didn't think his sister was just laughing, and said to the couple proudly, "Look, Mom and Dad, my sister is calling me brother!"

Ye Min and Meng Cheng did not agree with him. Firstly, babies usually start to call out after eight or nine months, and their speech is unclear. An An was just half a year old. Secondly, the first word a baby calls out is usually "Mom" (in fact, Meng Cheng wanted to say "Dad", but faced with his wife's dissatisfied look, he changed his words in anger), which is more difficult for his brother to pronounce.

But Meng Zheng is very opinionated. He doesn't care what his parents think, as long as he thinks what he thinks. So he insists that his sister is a genius and she called him brother when she was only half a year old.

Ye Min: “…”Okay, as long as you are happy.

…

An An is only half a year old, but she has already started to eat. The smell of food is everywhere in the cafeteria. In order to prevent the little girl from getting angry, Ye Min did not take her daughter with her, but waited at home for Master Meng Cheng and his wife to come back with food.

Today is Sunday, and there are not as many people eating in the canteen as usual, so the dishes are average, and the only fishy thing is black chopped pork. But because there are not so many people, the chef put more effort into cooking, and the dishes are better than usual in terms of presentation and taste.

So when Ye Min and Meng Zheng were eating, Meng Cheng could only carry his daughter outside, fearing that she would want to eat after smelling the fragrance. When it was Meng Cheng's turn to eat, Ye Min even took the brother and sister out for a walk.

As An An grew up day by day, taking turns to eat became almost a daily routine in their family, and this situation is expected to continue for a long time, at least until the little girl is one year old and can eat staple foods.

But Ye Min and Meng Cheng didn't think there was any problem. Isn't that what raising a child is all about? The process might be tedious, and sometimes they might get annoyed by the noises of the little ones, but overall it brings more happiness.

They were very satisfied just watching An An grow bigger day by day.

After dinner, the family of three took turns taking a bath.

An An is too young and easily gets sick. In the summer, Ye Min would bathe her almost every day. But now it is October and the temperature is getting colder. She is afraid that her daughter will get sick, so she bathes her only once every two or three days, and she chooses to bathe her when the sun is at its hottest.

But for an adult like Ye Min, the current temperature is nothing. She still takes a bath every day. In addition, her work is relatively easy and she doesn't sweat much during the day, so she takes a bath quickly.

Meng Cheng also takes baths frequently, a little faster than Ye Min. Only Meng Zheng often starts playing with water while taking a bath. If no one is watching, he can stay in the bathroom for an hour and will not come out even if the water is cold and his skin is wrinkled.

Ye Min was more relaxed in the summer, but now that the weather was cold, she started to urge Meng Zheng to come on after seeing him stay in the bathroom for more than a quarter of an hour.

After taking a bath, I have to coax the brother and sister to sleep.

An An is relatively easier to coax. Compared to June, she feels that she sleeps a little less, but she still sleeps fifteen or sixteen hours a day.

I usually go to bed at nine or ten o'clock in the evening and wake up at seven or eight o'clock. In the morning, I play for two hours and then sleep for two hours. When I wake up when I'm hungry, I drink milk and play for two hours again. In the afternoon, I can sleep until dinner time.

Because she attended a wedding today, An An didn't sleep much in the morning. Although she slept for three or four hours in the afternoon, she still felt it was not enough and started yawning just after 8:30.

When Ye Min saw this, she put An An in the crib, asked Meng Zheng to turn off the light in the room, and then stepped on the crib to coax her to sleep.

After An An fell asleep, he said to Meng Zheng in a low voice, "You should go back to your room and sleep too."

The lights were turned off, and Meng Zheng knew that he couldn't play games in the master bedroom, so he went back to his room. But no one knew whether he slept or not, and he often stayed up at night and amused himself by closing the door.

So when Meng Cheng finished washing clothes and came into the house, the first thing Ye Min did was to ask him to go to the second bedroom to check whether Meng Zheng was asleep.

Meng Cheng was not surprised, this was not the first time.

Silently walking to the door of the second bedroom, Meng Cheng opened the door and went in. As expected, Meng Zheng was sitting on the bed playing with toys. Because he was afraid that his parents would find out, he deliberately didn't turn on the light, and he was distractedly staring at the door while playing with toys.

When the door was pushed open from the outside, he immediately pulled up the quilt beside him and covered himself with it, making a snoring sound from his mouth to tell Meng Cheng that he had fallen asleep.

Strictly speaking, his anti-detection capabilities are much stronger now than when he first joined the army.

At that time, he was playing with toys without turning off the lights. When he was caught, he covered his ears and turned off the bell. After closing his eyes, he shouted "I'm asleep", fearing that Meng Cheng didn't know he was not asleep.

After being caught a few times, he learned his lesson. He turned off the lights when playing with toys and quickly pulled the quilt over his head when the door was opened. However, he lacked patience and would often quietly peek out from under the quilt to look outside because he was worried that he could not hear what was going on outside, and then he was caught by Meng Cheng.

Now he has a mature way of dealing with being caught by his father. He will not only turn off the lights, but also shake out the quilt on purpose, and sometimes he will just play with the quilt on. He no longer covers his head when pretending to sleep, but uses his breathing to tell his father that he is asleep.

But in Meng Cheng's opinion, these tricks of his were still very crude. It was just that sometimes he looked so pitiful that he was too lazy to expose him.

Well... Actually, the reason why Meng Cheng is so easy to talk to is also because Meng Zheng often pretends to be asleep and then actually falls asleep. This is much easier than waking him up and then trying to coax him back to sleep.

So after walking into the second bedroom, although he heard Meng Zheng's deliberate breathing rhythm, Meng Zheng did not expose him, but simply sat down beside the bed.

When Meng Zheng's breathing gradually eased, he stood up and carefully lifted the quilt off his son. He took out the toys that the little guy had hidden in the quilt one by one, placed them on the desk by the window, and then slowly returned to the master bedroom.

The curtains on the front and back windows of the master bedroom were already drawn, and the light was dimmer than in the second bedroom. Meng Cheng closed the door and asked softly, "Is An An asleep?"

After getting an affirmative answer, he reached out and turned on the light.

Ye Min stayed in the dark for a while, not being able to adapt to the bright light. She couldn't help but put her hands in front of her eyes. After a while, she saw Meng Cheng standing in front of the closet and asked in a low voice, "What are you looking for?"

Meng Cheng didn't answer, but turned around quickly, climbed onto the bed, hugged Ye Min's shoulders, kissed her, and asked, "Do you want to turn off the lights?"

The two had been married for almost five years, and although they had been apart for a long time, he finally managed to join the army, and she became pregnant again not long after. Even when they slept in the same bed, they had to keep their distance. But they still had a tacit understanding. Even if Meng Cheng didn't say it clearly, Ye Min understood what he meant instantly, and guessed what he took out of the closet, and couldn't help asking, "Isn't it gone?"

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to the stable life and the continuous increase in the national population, family planning was frequently mentioned and various localities began to implement some measures.

One of them is to encourage sterilization, and the other is to distribute family planning supplies. However, because no clear policy has been issued and local government departments have not taken a firm stance, there has been little progress in this regard.

Needless to say, sterilization was not an option. Hospitals in big cities like the capital might not even perform one sterilization operation a year. Not many people were getting birth control products. In an age when sex was frowned upon, even married people would be laughed at if they got the news that they were getting birth control products.

Because of this, although corresponding family planning measures have been implemented for several years, the fertility rate remains high.

Not to mention those far away, families living in the local family compound basically have at least three children, two is considered a few, and there is no only child.

Ye Min was too embarrassed to go get the family planning supplies, but compared to having a baby, being laughed at was nothing.

Although she didn't suffer much when giving birth to Meng Zheng and his sister because she was young, the long pregnancy period was not easy. And she was a nurse, even if she had never been to a big hospital, she had seen many women who became ill after giving birth.

She didn't want to wait until her health collapsed to regret it, so after giving birth to An An and finishing her confinement, she told Meng Cheng that she didn't want to have any more children.

Meng Cheng had no objection to this. Firstly, having a child is not a one-person thing. Ye Min didn't want to have another child, so he couldn't force her. Secondly, there were already two children at home, and he and Ye Min were already busy every day. If they had another child, life would be unbearable.

After the two reached an agreement, they began to consider contraceptive methods. Comparatively speaking, Mengcheng was inclined to have him get a sterilization once and for all, but Pingcheng was a small city, and not only the county hospital, but even the municipal hospital did not have sterilization operations available.

They can only use birth control products.

There are generally two channels for distributing family planning supplies: one is the hospital clinic, and the other is the Women's Federation. However, the army clinic did not have any, and Ye Min happened to have a good relationship with Liang Juan, so he shamelessly went to her to ask for them.

However, the Women's Federation distributes family planning supplies based on the family and month. Although there are not many people in the family compound who go to collect these things, Liang Juan always gives her a few extra each time.

But even if you add in the extra ones, the number of condoms I get every month can only be counted on two hands.

This was exactly what Ye Min wanted.

When she worked in a machine tool factory, she also heard married female colleagues say obscene words like "Women are like wolves at 30 and tigers at 40", but she might not be old enough, so although she felt comfortable, she never indulged in greed.

There are 30 days in a month, minus the menstrual period and the days before and after, there are only 20 days left. In the summer, the temperature is high, and it is easy to sweat after exercise. Taking a shower is like taking a shower in vain. She also has to wash the dirty sheets, which is too troublesome. She thinks once every two days is too frequent, twice a week is acceptable, and eight or nine birth control products are enough.

But Meng Cheng didn't seem to think so. She would go to the county hospital to replenish supplies every now and then, and occasionally go to the city. If she had time, she would also go to the hospital for a walk, so twice a week was just something she thought about.

However, at the end of September, the Mengcheng Camp held a training camp, which kept him busy for almost a week. After that, he had to help Ding Yang prepare for her wedding, so he had no time to go to the hospital.

Because of some small thoughts, Ye Min did not go to Liang Juan to get things at the beginning of the month, so they were alone for almost half a month. She thought she could get away with it today, but she didn't expect Meng Cheng to secretly restock the goods.

The two of them had slept in the same bed for more than a day or two, so Meng Cheng could see what she was thinking. He said proudly, "I went to see Sister Liang yesterday. The Women's Federation didn't have many left, only a dozen or so, and I brought them all."

He seemed a little dissatisfied with the amount, and after a while he said, "Use it first, I'll go to the hospital to get it on Sunday."

Seeing him acting like a slut after getting an advantage, Ye Min couldn't help but roll her eyes: "..." Look how capable he is!
