Chapter 27, Congratulations
"I'm a soldier, and sometimes I have missions. My missions are different from others, and the time of missions is also different. I..." He couldn't say the rest of the words.
Because he was afraid to see the disappointment in her eyes.
Unexpectedly, An Qianqian's heart started beating faster the moment he agreed.
She understood what he wanted to say.
"Brother Mao, the profession of a soldier is great, and I know even more about the hardships of being a soldier's wife. But, if you really love me, I am willing to endure this little hardship for you." She was not cold-hearted.
If she had no reaction at all after being confessed to like this, then she would really be unworthy of his sincerity.
"But there is one thing we should make clear in advance." She planned to tell him about her infertility so that in case he minded, she could make plans early.
What I said before are just sentences from the Internet.
The biggest pain in her heart is that she cannot have children.
Medical science is not well developed now, so it would be useless to seek medical treatment even now.
"What's the matter?" Mao Jianwen was nervous when he saw her so serious.
"That means I may not be able to have children." After saying that, An Qianqian looked straight into his eyes.
If you want to see clearly what a person is thinking, just stare into his eyes; eyes never lie.
Hearing this, Mao Jianwen thought it was a big deal and breathed a sigh of relief.
He said slowly: "Qianqian, this can't become an obstacle between us." He didn't mind. If possible, he would not have children in this life.
The duration of his mission is uncertain, and if they really have a child, she will be the only one who suffers.
He didn't want her to suffer too much following him.
Even if I knew, she would suffer with me in the future.
But I don’t want her to suffer more.
An Qianqian's heart trembled slightly when she saw that he was speaking sincerely.
"Brother Mao, do you really not mind?" She couldn't believe it.
Who doesn’t care about future generations in this era?
Even if it's a daughter.
"Don't mind, it's not a big deal. My family has two sons. My eldest brother gave birth to a son, and he is enough for the Mao family." It doesn't matter whether he has children or not.
After hearing what he said, why was she still being so pretentious?
"Well, congratulations, fiancé." She was generous. She stretched out her hand and said to Mao Jianwen with a smile.
Mao Jianwen was not stupid, he immediately held that hand in his: "Thank you, fiancée."
No one knew about their private meeting except Shi Tou, but after they returned, An Qianqian's attitude changed drastically.
She agreed to the marriage.
The engagement is scheduled for the eighth day of the first lunar month. The time is tight, but it’s also urgent.
Mao Jianwen also called his leader and submitted his marriage report.
When the leader heard this, he was so happy that he expedited the process for him.
Let him come back on vacation first, and then apply for marriage leave. Not only that, he also submitted his application to join the army.
This shows how much the leader values him.
When the villagers learned that the An and Mao families were engaged, they all smiled and congratulated them.
They all said that the man was talented and the woman was beautiful.
There weren’t many things needed for the engagement, so they could be purchased in one day.
In addition, Mao Jianwen himself is a capable person, and he also prepared a lot of things for An Qianqian in private.
The An family is not stingy either. An's mother directly bought a watch for her son-in-law for five hundred yuan.
Of course, the An family did have some money, and An's mother also spent a lot of money for her daughter.
Normally, she wouldn't even be willing to spend five dollars.
Li Yulan is not a stingy person. She buys everything that her eldest daughter-in-law has for her younger daughter-in-law.
In this regard, she is fair.
However, Li's mother said that no one was allowed to be jealous of the things Mao Jianwen gave to An Qianqian in private.
I can only blame myself for my man's incompetence.
Liu Ying was not ignorant and of course she knew the difference between her man and her brother-in-law.
Of course she is not jealous.
She was so envious that she complained to her husband at night, asking why he didn't work harder and let her have more glory.
Mao Jianxing just said to her, your life now is so different from what you had at your mother's home, what else do you want?
After that, Liu Ying never talked to him about this again.
Indeed, people should learn to be content.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the village was bustling with activity as it prepared an engagement banquet for the village chief's family.
This is considered polite, otherwise who would hold a banquet for an engagement party?
Generally, a token of trust is exchanged, and the two families have a meal together and meet in person, and that is considered to be the settlement.
Everyone in the village chief's family is wearing new clothes today, and they all look happy.
Even Liu Ying greeted the guests with a smile.
There were quite a few people from the An family, and everyone was happy for An's mother, as her children getting married finally put her mind at ease.
She will enjoy her life in the future.
Mother An was congratulated by everyone and her mouth was almost splitting with laughter.
Because people of the same age in the village all went out to work, An Qianqian didn't have any friends of the same age when she got engaged.
However, Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu still sent gifts to their daughter to congratulate her.
She said she would definitely write a letter to tell Yaoyao and Miaomiao.
An Qianqian didn't bother to be polite with them. She said that she had to return the gift and she would do so in the future.
We can’t lose our friendship.
Mao Jianwen was like a silly boy, grinning foolishly there, which was very different from his usual self.
Everyone liked to make fun of him, but he never made a fuss, just smiled.
If you talk too much, people will stop teasing you.
During the banquet, everyone went to the man's house, and of course An's mother was also invited by Li Yulan.
Not only that, at the banquet, she also publicly said that she would let Mao Jianwen take care of An's mother in the future.
This doesn't happen in rural areas.
Everyone said that Mother An was so lucky to have such good in-laws.
Mother An thanked her repeatedly.
Li Yulan is a very kind person. She said she wanted to thank An's mother for raising her daughter so well.
No one showed mercy to a perfect couple.
I will never hold back when it comes to drinking.
We ate and drank until late at night.
An's mother had gone home a long time ago.
After the banquet, Mao Jianwen personally sent An Qianqian home.
If it were to some faraway place, I would definitely spend the night at the man's place.
But we won’t sleep together. We will be accompanied by other brothers and sisters from my mother’s family.
But the situation of settling down is different. First, I don’t have any brothers or sisters, and second, the place is not far away, so it is better to send him back home directly.
On the way back, An Qianqian looked at Mao Jianwen with some concern, "Are you okay? If you drink too much, I can go back by myself."
It’s not far, just ten minutes’ walk away.
Mao Jianwen shook his dizzy head and said, "I'm not drunk, I'm just happy, so I drank two more glasses." He was not drunk, but he felt dizzy.
"I can still take you home, let's go." After saying that, he boldly stepped forward and held her little hand.
Just like in his dream, smooth, tender, silky and soft, not at all like the working hands of a country girl.
It was so smooth that he accidentally became addicted to the feeling. He pinched it, stroked it, and started playing with it without realizing it.
An Qianqian was speechless. This man even said that he was not drunk.
She took the flashlight from his hand and illuminated the road ahead.
Leading him step by step, he walked home.
An's mother was still awake, cooking ginger soup at home. She knew he would bring Qianqian back, but she didn't know when, so she kept waiting at home.
Well, can you give the author some comments?
This stand-alone feeling is too lonely, hehe, please collect, vote and reward.
Three consecutive requests...
