When Xie Jing heard this, she knew that everyone was going to send her money, so she quickly refused: "My parents already gave me a card, I don't need money, really."
"It's not a card, it's the dowry we prepared for you." Cheng Shuying patted Xie Jing's hand: "You didn't grow up in front of us, and you had so many setbacks during your growth. This is our biggest regret as parents."
"Over the years, your father and I have saved a lot of things for you, waiting to give them to you when you return home. Now that you're married, it's time to give them to you. You're our daughter, so you should have everything you deserve."
"The Yun family is marrying off their daughter. This is a major event, so naturally we have to treat it with caution." Yun Lan also smiled and said, "After all, your wedding was hastily planned and too simple. What are your thoughts?"
Zhou Jiyun immediately stated: "I want to do it again. The previous one was unfair to Jingjing."
Xie Jing held Zhou Jiyun's hand and said, "We have discussed re-holding the wedding before, and it will take a long time to prepare for the wedding. Jiyun has to work, and I have to be busy with my studies."
"How about after I graduate?"
Li Shu scolded, "How can that be possible? Wouldn't that make others look down on Jiyun? Now that you're back home, you have to take care of all this. One reason is that your family values you, and the other is to let those who need to know know about your relationship."
"We're still very particular here. If we don't have a wedding, people will always talk about it."
Xie Jing looked up at Zhou Jiyun: "Then... let's have the wedding again? But I don't have much time."
Zhou Jiyun lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Then let's do it again. I'll take care of the wedding. It can be done if we squeeze it in."
Xie Jing immediately changed her tone: "Then I'll prepare with you. I can't let you bear all the responsibility."
A smile flashed across Zhou Jiyun's eyes. He liked Xie Jing's constant concern for him and her willingness to share the burden with him.
Cheng Shuying patted Xie Jing's head and said, "If you don't have time, your father and I can help. Since we are going to do it, let's do it in a grand and decent way."
Zhou Jiyun touched his nose, and Xie Jing hurriedly spoke for him: "Although we were in a hurry before, he gave me a lot of respect. He has tried his best to give me the best."
Cheng Shuying thought about the wedding dress, jewelry, and other gifts Zhou Jiyun had given her before, and didn't say anything. To be honest, she also felt that Zhou Jiyun did a good job under the circumstances.
"We feel that the Xie family treated you badly," Cheng Shuying sighed. "We have no problem with Jiyun. He really did a great job."
Whether it was emotions, decency, or respect for his wife, Zhou Jiyun did everything perfectly. Cheng Shuying and Yun Lan couldn't find a single bad thing to say about this; they simply felt that Xie Jing had been wronged in the Xie family.
"The Xie family is just like that," Xie Jing pinched Zhou Jiyun's fingers and said, "Did Brother Xu tell you? I returned all the Xie family's things before the New Year."
"I've said it before," Cheng Shuying touched Xie Jing's hair, "The Xie family's things should indeed be returned. What we give you is your dowry."
"Tonight I'll show you what your father and I have saved for you over the years."
Xie Jing was a little surprised: "You gave me several old things before, and those small jewelry, aren't those?"
"That's just a welcome gift from us. As for those little hairpins and jewelry, they're just what we bought whenever we thought of them." Cheng Shuying smiled and said, "This is different from a dowry."
Xie Jing also smiled: "Okay, I won't be polite with my parents."
"It's as we should. Family members shouldn't be polite to each other. It makes things seem awkward." Cheng Shuying liked that Xie Jing wasn't polite to them. This was her daughter. If she was so polite, Cheng Shuying would feel very frustrated.
Zhu Li didn't feel envious when she saw this scene. When it came to wealth, the Yun family was clearly not as wealthy as the Zhou family. Even if she married Yun Zhao, the betrothal gift from the Yun family would definitely not be comparable to Zhou Jiyun's two small goals.
Zhu Li was quite calm about this. She knew that their family backgrounds were different. Besides, the Zhu family was not bad either. Although they were not rich, they were still well-off.
Otherwise, her Chinese medicine clinic is in such a good location...
While everyone was chatting and laughing, Yun Lan was playing with his phone. "Jingjing has completely cut ties with the Xie family. It's no longer appropriate to have the surname Xie. Have you ever thought about changing your name?"
Xie Jing was stunned for a moment: "It can be changed, but I've been called this name for so many years, and I'm not used to it suddenly changing it."
Cheng Shuying was happy: "I remember when I was pregnant with you, my family thought of many names."
Xie Jing also became curious: "So what was my original name?"
Cheng Shuying's eyes reddened. "Name her Yunxi. All the children in my family have the character for 'sun' in their names. Ah Zhao and Xiao Xu are both like this. Since you're a girl, your grandfather named you Xi."
"Yun Xi," Xie Jing chuckled. "It sounds nice. If it's convenient, then change it. The Xie family isn't my biological parents, so it's really inappropriate to keep the surname Xie."
"But I still like everyone calling me Jingjing."
Zhou Jiyun patted her shoulder and said, "No matter what name you change to, in my eyes you are always you, my wife."
Xie Jing tilted her head and curled her eyes at Zhou Jiyun, who couldn't help but smile. Watching the young couple stare at each other, the rest of the people in the living room exchanged glances. Is this how young people express their feelings? They all felt their faces flush.
It was already dinner time when they arrived at the old house. After a few words, Li Shu started to prepare the meal. Li Shu kept helping Zhu Li to set the dishes on the table: "A Zhao's father is at work and it is not convenient for him to come back. A Li, please don't mind."
Zhu Li took a bite of the Four Happiness Meatball and said, "I don't mind. I know Ah Zhao will definitely be like this in the future. I'm mentally prepared."
The crow's feet at the corners of Li Shu's eyes smoothed out. "As a military family member, you have to bear these responsibilities. Our Ah Zhao is lucky to have met you. I have to thank Jingjing for this."
Xie Jing looked up with a puzzled look in her eyes: "Thank me for what?"
Li Shu picked up a piece of pork ribs for Xie Jing and said, "Thank you for having such a good sister. Ah Zhao was a big problem in my heart. I didn't expect that he would go to S City to see you and solve my big problem."
Xie Jing joked: "You're welcome. I'm also very happy to think that A-Li and I can meet often and spend a long time together in the future."
Li Shu caressed Xie Jing's hair lovingly. "Yes, as long as you two get along well, we, as elders, are happy. We don't have to worry about things like Yun Hua..."
She knew she had spoken out of turn and didn't say anything else.
Zhu Li looked at Yun Zhao, Yun Hua?
Yun Zhao squeezed her hand and said, "I'll tell you later."
Zhu Li really didn't ask any more questions, but poured Li Shu a cup of tea. "Don't worry, Auntie. Jingjing and I are fine. I was thinking of going for a ride with Jingjing sometime."
The atmosphere at the table quickly became lively. Yun Xu asked jokingly, "Are you familiar with the capital?"
Zhu Li was very confident: "If you are not familiar with it, there is Yun Zhao. He will definitely know which road has the best scenery."
