He Tingjun took Yun Qiao's hand and got out of the car. Yun Qiao lowered her voice and asked him, "Have you figured out what happened? What took you so long?"
"It's nothing, there were just too many people and the guards took some time to check identities." It was a happy day and He Tingjun didn't want Yun Qiao to be upset.
Anyway, that female educated youth is being watched by someone, and with so many officers coming to the family compound today, all of them have special skills, I believe she won't be able to cause any trouble.
Yun Qiao nodded and put the matter behind him. He took He Tingjun's arm and walked into the hotel with him.
In the spacious and bright hotel lobby, Feng Juan and Qin Lin were chatting with another middle-aged couple, their faces beaming with joy. Qin Zheng and He Tingjun's younger brother, He Tingyu, stood slightly to the side, leaning in to join in the conversation.
Looking at the middle-aged man's face that was similar to He Tingjun's, Yun Qiao guessed that they were probably He Tingjun's fathers.
As expected, He Tingjun quickly took Yun Qiao's hand and walked up to the two of them. He smiled and introduced them, "Dad, Mom, let me introduce you. This is my wife, Yun Qiao."
After saying that, he looked at Yun Qiao gently and said to her: "Yun Qiao, these are my parents."
Yun Qiao smiled and followed He Tingjun and called out, "Dad, Mom."
He Tingjun's smile came from the heart, and anyone could see that he truly liked Yun Qiao.
Although it was the first time for He Ruilin and Shi Shan to meet Yun Qiao, and they had never had any contact with her before, they could not say whether they were satisfied or not. However, as long as their son liked her, they, as his parents, naturally would not spoil his fun. They all responded to her call of "Mom and Dad" with a smile on their faces.
He Ruilin then took out a red envelope from his military uniform pocket and handed it to Yun Qiao to express his acceptance of her. Shi Shan then reached out and took Yun Qiao's hand, smilingly took off the bracelet on her wrist and put it on her wrist.
"This bracelet was given to me by Tingjun's grandmother when I married his father. Today I'm giving it to you. I wish you and Tingjun many years of happiness and harmony."
Shi Shan came up and gave Yun Qiao a bracelet, which made her feel a little flattered. She looked down at the bracelet on her hand. The texture of the jade was warm and smooth, and it was obviously a good thing. She said quickly, "Thank you, Mom."
Shi Shan smiled and patted the back of her hand: "We are family, so we should keep our distance from each other. We are family from now on."
The two families got together and basically praised each other. You praised my daughter for raising her well, and I praised your son for raising him well. After chatting for a few words, and after everyone present was seated, the wedding officially began.
The wedding in 1970 wasn't anything fancy, and Yun Qiao didn't like to express her feelings in front of so many people. Partly because she was naturally reserved, and partly because she didn't want to be the subject of gossip. After all, these days, anything slightly out of the ordinary could be talked about for years. So, after matchmaker and officiant Zeng Qi took the stage to give her speech, she and He Tingjun simply exchanged a few polite words and let the hotel waiter serve the food.
Wedding candy and melon seeds are served first, followed by wine and food.
Taking advantage of the gap before the toast, Yun Qiao went to the bathroom first.
She had just come out of the toilet and was standing in front of the sink outside the toilet to wash her hands. When she turned around, she was bumped into the leg by a little girl.
Yun Qiao was startled and quickly reached out to pull her, but she was still a step too late. The little girl fell on her feet and burst into tears.
Yun Qiao reached out to pull the little girl up, but the little girl refused to let her touch her and lay down on the ground, starting to throw a tantrum and roll around.
"Get away, don't touch me."
"Mom, mom, I want mom..."
The three-year-old girl's voice was shrill and her crying was heartbreaking, making Yun Qiao's head feel dizzy.
Yun Qiao patiently coaxed him softly, "Little boy, please stop crying. Tell me where your mother is. I'll take you to find her, okay?"
But the little girl ignored her and just kept crying and howling at the top of her lungs.
Yun Qiao felt helpless and subconsciously touched her pocket but found nothing. Then she realized that the red dress she was wearing didn't even have any pockets. Even if she wanted to coax someone with candy, she couldn't take it out.
Just when Yun Qiao was at her wit's end, a pair of delicate fingers reached out, holding three candies, and waved them in front of the little girl: "Don't cry, little girl. Auntie has candies here. As long as you behave and get up from the ground, Auntie can give you all the candies. There are three of them."
Candy is very attractive to children aged three or four. Coaxed by the candy, the little girl quickly stopped crying and slowly got up from the ground.
Yun Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a bit complicated: "Thank you, Comrade Han Rou."
Yun Qiao hadn't expected Han Rou to help her. She had previously thought she held a grudge against her and had come along specifically to cause trouble.
"No need to thank me, the candy is your wedding candy anyway."
Han Rou picked up the little girl from the ground. The little girl did not resist because she gave her candy and let her hold her obediently.
"Okay, I'm here, you should go back quickly, it's time for a toast."
Yun Qiao didn't move, she was not very worried about Han Rou.
Han Rou glared at her unhappily: "Don't look at me like that. How can I eat her? Ye Yunqiao, have you forgotten where this is? The military family compound. I'm crazy. Why would I do such a bad thing in a place like this?"
Yun Qiao finally relented, "Okay, then you keep an eye on her while I go back and get help. As long as she's from the family compound, someone will definitely recognize her."
Han Rou waved her hand impatiently: "Then go quickly."
Yun Qiao turned and walked back. He heard Han Rou's particularly gentle voice behind him asking the little girl, "Little girl, what's your name? Why did you run out alone? Where's your mother? Where is your mother? I'll take you to your mother later, okay?"
"My name is Qingqing. I'm three and a half years old. My mother...my mother..." She got stuck while speaking, and soon she was sweating anxiously: "My mother is in the hospital... No, no...My mother went home, she, she fell asleep..."
The three-year-old girl spoke without logic, and Yun Qiao and Han Rou didn't understand.
Han Rou frowned: "Your mother didn't come? Then who did you come with?"
"dad."
"Where is your father?"
The little girl couldn't tell.
"How come you don't know anything?" Han Rou couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly.
Yun Qiao returned to her seat, and Feng Juan gave her a meatball. "Eat something first to fill your stomach. We'll have a toast soon."
Yun Qiao nodded, turned around and looked around, but didn't see He Tingjun. He asked, "Where is Tingjun? Why can't I see him?"
"He has to entertain guests. Do you want to see him?"
Yun Qiao nodded: "Yes, there is something."
