Wu Xiaoying wanted Xiang Nuan to stay for dinner at her home, and she didn't refuse. She didn't know when they would meet again, so it would be one less meal to eat.
The mother and daughter cooked together. When Shuangxi came back and learned that Xiang Nuan was leaving in two days, she burst into tears the moment she came back.
"I don't want Sister Nuan Nuan to leave! I don't want it!"
The little girl cried so miserably that Xiang Nuan felt heartbroken. She was reluctant to leave this lovely little girl, but she had to leave. She could only hold her in her arms and comfort her softly.
"I will come back to see you. I can't bear to leave you. Stop crying. You won't be pretty if you keep crying."
"I don't want you to leave, hiccup~"
Shuangxi was crying so hard that he hiccuped whenever he spoke.
"You're lying. My brother takes a long time to come back after he leaves. It takes you a long time to come back too, hiccup~"
Xiang Nuan didn't know how to coax her. She really didn't know when she would be able to come back, and she couldn't bring herself to lie to the child.
"Be obedient and stop crying. Your sister Nuan Nuan will be your sister-in-law from now on. She is part of our family. You have to be happy."
Wu Xiaoying reached out and wiped her tears. "You keep saying you've grown up. How can adults cry?"
Shuangxi pouted in grievance and looked at Xiang Nuan with tearful eyes, "Sister Nuan Nuan, please take me with you."
Wu Xiaoying smiled and rubbed her head. "Silly child, you want to go with your sister Nuannuan. You don't want your parents anymore, right? If you leave, what will happen to your parents?"
Xiang Nuan also smiled and said: "Yes, if you leave, there will be no one to accompany uncle and aunt. Moreover, this is the first time I go on a long journey alone, and I dare not take you with me, it is too dangerous.
I promise you that I will bring you a gift next time I come back, a beautiful dress and lots of delicious food, okay?"
Shuangxi was still very unhappy, twisting and turning unwillingly in her arms.
"Look, I bought you this mung bean cake today when I went to the county town. I didn't even want to give it to others!"
Xiang Nuan took the snacks she bought today, opened them, pinched a piece and handed it to her mouth.
"Try it, it's sweet! It smells delicious."
The sweet smell of mung beans lingered on her nose. She was already hungry after having fun outside for quite some time. She licked her lips and opened her mouth.
Xiang Nuan smiled and asked, "Is it delicious?"
"Sister Nuan Nuan eats too!"
Shuangxi pinched a piece and fed it to Xiang Nuan.
"Okay, Shuangxi is so good!"
Xiang Nuan rubbed her pigtails and bit them.
"Mom eats too!"
Shuangxi fed her mother another piece.
"Look how good your sister Nuan Nuan is to you. She thinks of you in everything."
Shuangxi raised her chin proudly, "Sister Nuannuan loves me the most!"
When Yan Mancang came back and learned that Xiang Nuan had decided to go to the army on her own, he said that he would help her complete the formalities and issue a letter of introduction in the next two days.
"I'm sorry to have wronged you. I'll prepare a few more tables for you next time you two come back."
Xiang Nuan smiled and shook his head, "Uncle, there's nothing wrong with it. I don't care about that."
Weddings are kept simple these days, and she had no expectations from the beginning. As long as she could live happily in the future, that would be enough.
Yan Mancang laughed and said, "That being said, we still have to do it. This is a happy event and we can't avoid it."
He only has this one son, so his wedding must be a lively one and cannot be done in silence.
"Well, I'll listen to you."
Anyway, she doesn't need to worry about it. Just let the old man do whatever he wants.
It was already dark after dinner at Yan's house, so Wu Xiaoying took Xiang Nuan back to the educated youth site with a flashlight.
Gu Wenshu and the other two were no longer surprised to see her come back, because Xiang Nuan would go to the captain's house for dinner from time to time.
After washing up, Xiang Nuan climbed onto the kang and said to the three of them, "I want to tell you something."
The three of them looked at her, "What's the matter?"
Xiang Nuan cleared her throat and dropped a bombshell, "I'm getting married!"
