Chapter 12 No More Banquet
Wen Ci hinted that he would live a hard life after joining the army. Just as Jiang's father was about to say something else, they both shut their mouths at the same time.
"I heard that you don't plan to hold the banquet in the capital?"
Huo Jingyuan nodded: "This holiday is not long enough. I can only stay in Beijing for one day at most, so I plan to go back to the northwest to do it."
After the words fell, Jiang Zhenjun, who was sitting in the main seat, frowned and looked at Wen Ci: "No, this wedding must be held. I have informed the owner of the state-owned restaurant in advance, and it must be held tomorrow no matter what."
Even though he didn't have much feelings for Wen Ci.
But Wen Ci is also his biological daughter who was lost outside.
The daughter of the Jiang family must have a grand wedding, not to mention that her own daughter is marrying the grandson of Chief Huo.
Everyone in the compound knew that Chief Huo’s greatest wish was to see his grandson get married and have children.
Su Guilan pulled at her husband's clothes.
"Xiao Huo, the old commander has been looking forward to your wedding, so we have to prepare the banquet. You two don't have to worry about anything, just arrive at noon tomorrow."
Jiang Zhenjun looked serious, but his tone was a little slower, and his every move and gesture was like that of an old father speaking with deep earnestness.
Wen Ci listened to what his biological father said and couldn't help thinking that there was some truth in what he said, which was why Huo Jingyuan finally agreed to this marriage.
It was for his grandfather's last wish.
Since I have become the daughter-in-law of the Huo family's granddaughter, I still have to hold a wedding.
Wen Ci met Huo Jingyuan's eyes and nodded: "We have to hold it in the capital after all."
"Um."

That night, a phone call disrupted the original plan.
Huo Jingyuan was planning to have Wen Ci wear the wedding dress that his grandfather had ordered a long time ago. But after answering the phone, he looked extremely serious: "Wen Ci, maybe we can't hold the banquet in Beijing tomorrow?"
"What's the matter?" Wen Ci looked at him with a serious expression.
Huo Jingyuan took a deep breath and said, "The Northwest has bought us the last sleeper train and wants me to return to the military region immediately to deal with some things."
"Then let's go!"
Now it is the 1980s and many places are not peaceful.
I bought a ticket for Huo Jingyuan to return to the Northwest overnight, so something big must have happened.
Wen Ci said: "Then let's go to the train station quickly."
She didn't have much luggage to bring, so she could always spare time to accompany Huo Jingyuan out of the capital.
"Then let me talk about Uncle Jiang's side."
"good."
That night, Wen Ci and Huo Jingyuan boarded a train and left the capital. The sleeper and seat tickets were in different carriages, but they were in the same carriage.
When Jiang Zhenjun received the news, he had already sent out all the invitation letters. As a ministerial-level cadre, he was well aware of the situation in the northwest.
Can’t blame the young couple.
There was only a wedding banquet without the newlyweds, and almost all the people present were cadres from the compound. They could also understand why Huo Jingyuan was recalled by the Northwest Military Region.

When Wen Ci woke up, she touched her purse, which contained 1,500 yuan and a gold bracelet. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that the money was still there.
Last night she dreamed that a thief broke into the sleeper car and stole all the money.
"What's wrong."
Seeing Wen Ci's panic, Huo Jingyuan couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay." Wen Ci slowly exhaled: "I had a dream last night. I dreamed that a thief came to the sleeper car and stole my dowry and gold bracelet."
"I'm here." Huo Jingyuan said.
Wen Ci met the determination in Huo Jingyuan's eyes. Just looking at him made her feel safe. She almost forgot that Huo Jingyuan was a soldier.
