"Little frog!"
Xiao Dabao and Xiao Shitou were so happy that this was the little toy they had always dreamed of getting, comparable to Ultraman and Transformers of later generations.
Unfortunately, before they could catch up, Xiao Jiahua was quick to put away the toys.
"Mom, I want a little frog——"
"Mom, I want it too—"
Xiao Dabao and Xiao Shitou cried because of their envy.
Xiao Jiahua pretended to be sad and said, "This was bought specially for you by your PLA father. But just now, you refused to kiss me or hug me. It seems that you don't like it. So I have to change my mind and give it to Xiao Tiezhu and Xiao Tiedan!"
The two little darlings refused to give in. They immediately hugged Xiao Jiahua, one on each side, clinging to her, and competing to call "Mom" in her ears.
Each one is louder and more passionate than the other. Toys are secondary, the main thing is that I really miss her.
"Well, you're almost deafening my ears."
Xiao Jiahua kissed the two children and stuffed the two little frogs into their hands, "Go play."
Xiao Dabao and Xiao Shitou were immediately beaming with joy when they got the treasure. They had long forgotten about their protests and started to compete by squatting in the corner.
Cui Lifen saw all the strange things in the box and couldn't help but blame Xiao Jiahua, "You went to Shanghai and brought back some local specialties and medicinal herbs. Why did you accept so much silk and cosmetics? And what about the ring on your hand? It must have been very expensive!"
The daughter's ring is really eye-catching. Cui Lifen noticed it as soon as she walked in.
Xiao Jiahua told the truth: "I bought the ring for Bai Keyan. At the end of next month, when my birthday comes, he will take a long vacation and go back to Qinghe Village to hold a wedding and have a banquet!"
Cui Lifen was overjoyed when she heard this: "Is my son-in-law really willing to come back and have a wedding banquet?"
No wonder she was excited. In rural areas, holding a wedding banquet is far more important than getting a marriage marriage certificate.
After all, getting the marriage certificate allows for a divorce quietly. But if a banquet is held, it is equivalent to the whole village being witnesses, swearing an oath to heaven, and making an alliance between heaven and earth.
Xiao Jiahua smiled and nodded, "It's more real than pearls. So, Second Aunt sent me a few pieces of silk specially for me to take home and make two decent wedding dresses."
"Of course, of course. Everything you wear, use, and bedding, inside and out, should be replaced with new ones!"
Cui Lifen was excited and nervous. She thought, "There is still more than a month until your wedding day. Time is so tight! I will go find your father, your brother and sister-in-law, as well as the master of ceremonies and witnesses... We must make the wedding grand and beautiful!"
As she spoke, she stepped on the wind and went to invite people happily.
Xiao Jiahua: “…”
Is it really appropriate not to ask for her opinion as a parent?
The PLA son-in-law who married into the Xiao family will come back next month to hold a wedding. This news seemed to have spread like wildfire, and within two days, everyone knew about it.
All the relatives, both near and far, couldn't help but come to congratulate the Xiao family. Whenever Xiao Jiahua went out to visit friends and relatives, there would be children surrounding her, smilingly calling her "bride" and playfully asking for candy.
Only Xiao Dabao and Xiao Shitou protected their old mother and said angrily, "No candy, no candy."
In the past two years, no one has held a wedding in Qinghe Village. It is a rare occasion that the bride and groom, one is a member of the People's Liberation Army, and the other is a manager of a large company who came out of the countryside with his own ability. To add to the joy, the whole village, young and old, men, women, and children, inevitably joined in the fun.
Xiao Jiahua was surrounded and infected by the enthusiasm and blessings. Gradually, she began to look forward to the day when she would put on her wedding dress and truly become a bride.
Finally, it’s December.
At the beginning of the month, the first snow of winter fell silently.
On that snowy day, Xiao Jiahua finally answered the call from Bai Keyan from the base.
To be exact, it was bad news.
