Lin Xiaoxiao saw Yu Honglei again at his wedding.
Military weddings are relatively simple. A leader is invited to be the witness, and the couple takes an oath to a great man. That's it. Yu Honglei and his wife are not the kind of people who care about appearances. They are both focused on living a good life together.
But Yu Honglei also spent a lot of money to treat his comrades to a meal.
It's impossible to hold a banquet in the military; if people found out, they would be accused of having an extravagant and frivolous lifestyle.
He took the money and bought some meat, then asked the cafeteria to cook it as a side dish for everyone to celebrate.
Lin Xiaoxiao observed Yu Honglei's wife, the head nurse of the military hospital. She was quite capable, looked pretty, had a gentle personality, and was very patient. When she saw An'an being held by Lin Xiaoxiao, she even asked her longingly if she could hold her too.
Lin Xiaoxiao handed her her baby readily, saying, "Here, hold him, let him receive some good fortune for your pregnancy. You and Commander Yu should also hurry up and have one. The two children will be close in age and can play together."
"That's great." The newlywed bride was shy, and her face turned bright red after she finished speaking.
Lin Xiaoxiao laughed heartily and teased her again.
"Wow, what an adorable little one!" The new bride's best friend came over with a little girl of about three years old and exclaimed when she saw An'an.
"Little brother." The little girl also liked An'an very much, and kept holding An'an's little hand, wanting to play with him.
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "When my little brother grows up a bit, he'll be able to play with his older sister."
The three of them became friends as they chatted. Lin Xiaoxiao even heard from the new bride's good friend about the entanglement between the new bride and Yu Honglei.
After listening, Lin Xiaoxiao sighed, "This shows that you and Commander Yu are destined to be together. Even though you wasted a year in the middle, the final result is still good."
The new bride's eyes reddened.
She undoubtedly liked Yu Honglei. When she learned that she could meet him for a date, she looked forward to their future development. However, the date fell through because Yu Honglei's mother told her that he had a fiancée in his hometown.
Later, the leaders of the General Hospital and her parents all said that she was not young anymore and suggested that she go on a blind date, but she declined.
Looking back now, she must have been unwilling to accept it. She wanted to see what kind of person Yu Honglei's fiancée was that could make him wait for her for so many years.
Lin Xiaoxiao is right. No matter what happened in between, as long as the result is good, that's all that matters.
Yu Honglei told her about his experiences from childhood to adulthood. She felt sorry for his hardships and was also angry that his nominal mother-in-law had schemed against him.
However, Yu Honglei said that it was the two of them who lived their lives, and they didn't need to care about other unimportant people.
The more important thing is for the two of them to live a good life together.
Lin Xiaoxiao was genuinely happy for the two of them.
But Yu Honglei's problem was not yet resolved. On the third day after the couple's wedding, when they were enjoying their honeymoon, Yu Honglei's mother came to the military base with her stepson's daughter, Xiao Hong.
When registering at the checkpoint, she loudly proclaimed that she was there to get married as the fiancée of her son.
That's right, Xiaohong's ID shows she's over eighteen years old.
You can register for marriage now.
The soldier on guard said sternly, "Are you here to get married or to visit relatives? Tell the truth."
Commander Yu just got married two days ago. Where did this fiancée come from? That's utter nonsense.
Such disgraceful behavior should be completely eliminated.
The soldiers were trained from scratch and were unaware of the rumors circulating in the family compound. They simply performed their duties diligently and resolutely prevented any suspicious individuals from entering the military base.
“This is my son’s fiancée. We’re here to visit relatives and also to get married,” Yu Honglei’s mother said, softening her tone a little.
Right now, the most important thing is to go in and find Yu Honglei to get this matter settled.
The soldier gave the two of them a strange look. "Commander Yu is already married, where did this fiancée come from? Spreading rumors about soldiers is a legal offense. Think it over before you speak."
"get married?"
"impossible."
The two spoke in unison, their high-pitched voices attracting the attention of the family members coming in and out.
Upon inquiry, it turned out that the two were Yu Honglei's mother and the legendary "fake fiancée." The sisters-in-law who had once tried to matchmake their daughters or nieces all hated the two of them to the core.
If it weren't for Yu Honglei's mother spreading rumors in the family compound that Yu Honglei had a fiancée, they would have successfully brought them together long ago.
Everyone was heartbroken at missing out on such a great catch.
"Commander Yu did get married, three days ago. What, didn't you know?" The group deliberately provoked the couple.
"You're Commander Yu's fiancée? Commander Yu doesn't acknowledge it. He even went to the higher-ups to clarify this rumor. They said they don't know you at all. Commander Yu is making his own decisions about marriage."
Little Red's face turned pale, and she tugged at her grandmother's sleeve.
Yu Honglei's mother reacted and angrily slapped her thigh, "You unfilial son! He didn't even inform the family about his marriage. It was an arranged marriage, and he dared to get married secretly. I want to see if he still respects me."
After saying that, he comforted Xiaohong, "Don't worry, in my heart, only you are my daughter-in-law."
It's really not afraid of sounding awkward when you say that.
Normally, she refers to herself as "Grandma" in front of Xiaohong.
Xiao Hong nodded, a hint of resentment in her eyes. Yu Honglei had actually gotten married; what was she to do?
The two entered the family compound, intending to confront Yu Honglei, but Yu Honglei had already learned of his mother's scheme from the brigade leader and was prepared to deal with it.
When Yu Honglei heard that his mother had come when he was leaving get off work, his eyes darted around. He waited for a while at the entrance of the division headquarters, and when he saw the political commissar of the division come out, he followed him eagerly.
