As soon as Han Dong saw Xiao Jiahua, he couldn't stop talking.
"So you are Xiaoxiao? With the way you look, it's no wonder Ke Yan holds you in his heart. Even if he has a falling out with the professor, he will still come back to see you! It's true that hearing about you is not as good as meeting you in person, and meeting you in person is worse than hearing about you!"
Xiao Jiahua: “…”
Finally, I met someone who is more socially awkward than her. I'll just assume that he was bragging about himself.
Hao Anding sent Bai Keyan back home to do serious business, so how could he allow Han Dong to talk nonsense here? He grabbed Han Dong by the back of his collar and pulled him aside.
He said solemnly to Xiao Jiahua: "Xiao Xiaozhi, I believe you already know. Ke Yan was injured this time because he was trying to catch a spy. For the safety of the base and the people, he risked his life and bravely defeated the enemy. Moreover, we successfully arrested three or four gangsters based on the clues confessed by the spy!
"Ke Yanzhi has made great achievements and paid a huge price. So after research, the army decided to award Ke Yanzhi the honor of first-class military service! We came here this time to announce the good news to his family!"
Everyone was stunned. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the People's Liberation Army has continued the fine tradition of the War of Resistance against Japan, resolutely served the people, and achieved countless successes.
However, it is rare for someone like Bai Keyan to achieve a first-class position at such a young age.
Everyone in the crowd looked at him with brighter and more admiring eyes.
Everyone, including several managers, spontaneously applauded Bai Keyan.
Amidst the flowers and applause, only Xiao Jiahua felt mixed emotions.
She also knew that Bai Keyan's behavior was a soldier's duty and a citizen's obligation. But she was the only one who felt the most sorry for the huge price he paid.
Bai Keyan returned home this time and used his marriage leave, annual leave, and the home visit leave specially awarded by his superiors. He was able to stay at home for at least five days, which was enough time for him to get married smoothly.
Xiao Jiahua immediately asked for leave from the company and invited everyone to go to Qinghe Village for a banquet on the 30th the day after tomorrow.
Bai Keyan guessed that she had asked for a temporary leave, so he asked Han Dong to take out the wedding candies he had prepared in advance and distribute them to everyone enthusiastically.
Xiao Jiahua felt a little ashamed. Her future husband was much more considerate than her, the future wife.
Xu Deshun accepted the wedding candy and immediately unconditionally agreed to Xiao Jiahua's request for leave. When a first-class minister’s family has a wedding, of course I have to give my full support!
Not only that, seeing that Bai Keyan had difficulty walking, Xu Deshun specially approved the loan of the company's car to facilitate Xiao Jiahua's marriage.
Xiao Jiahua was flattered, because the company would only open the business when county and provincial leaders came to inspect.
In order to be able to drive, she had passed the driving test a long time ago and had been waiting for this day.
However, Captain Hao and Han Dong seemed to have other arrangements and only stayed in the county guesthouse that day.
So, Xiao Jiahua really got his fill of being a driver.
She drove the company's car and took her PLA husband back to Qinghe Village with sweet affection.
.
When we returned to the village, it was already dark. The doors of every household were closed, and the Spring Festival couplets posted on the doors glowed with festive light under the shining stars.
Only the Xiao family was different from the others. The door was open and a pair of red "囍" characters were pasted on the door.
Walking into the yard, you will see all kinds of festive red hangings on the trees and walls.
Under the eaves, there were piles of dowries, wooden furniture, quilts, bedding, pots and pans...
In the kitchen, there were dried vegetables, bacon, and various fried foods hanging, all of which were prepared by Xiao Laoshuan and Cui Lifen over the past month.
As for the dowry, it must be prepared in advance and displayed openly to show the family's strength and importance.
There was a kerosene lamp lit in the room, and the old couple and the children were still awake.
