"I'm fine here. It's because the person in charge here left that I asked Madam to send someone over to supervise. It won't be long."
The two went to bed, but Cai Peilin couldn't sleep because he was so happy.
I've thought more than once about what it would be like if I hadn't gone abroad to study.
Perhaps the military unit I admire, and my dream of becoming a soldier, will never come true.
The next day, after breakfast, Sang Hongxiu saw the three off.
They didn't return to the compound until 2 p.m.
Zhang Hongmei smiled as she looked at Cai Peilin, who had rushed back in a hurry.
Cai Peilin completely ignored Zhang Hongmei's teasing. He sat calmly in the dining room and ate his meal.
However, Lu Yue was still a young girl and felt very embarrassed.
After finishing her meal, Lu Jing stayed by Zhang Hongmei's side. Mainly because the lady's belly was too big, she knew what not to say, so she could only stay by her side without leaving her side.
"Hongmei, I'm planning to go with Luyue to get our marriage certificate tomorrow."
"Hehe, I have no problem with this. But shouldn't you talk to my grandfather? After all, he raised this child. You're just trying to poach him, aren't you?"
Cai Peilin gave her a disdainful look; how could he not understand what she meant?
"Hmm, is the commander next door? I'll be right there."
"Hehe, you're really in a hurry!"
Cai Peilin, you can say whatever you want, I'll just ignore you.
"Why don't you go next door with Lu Yue? Grandpa's home."
Lu Yue followed Cai Peilin with some trepidation. Although Lu Jing said she believed him, she was still a little scared about actually going to see the leader.
"Don't worry. I've got everything covered!"
Cai Peilin's simple words put Lu Yue's mind at ease. Yes, someone would stand in front of her.
The two met Chengzi in the living room and explained that they wanted to see the leader.
Chengzi had already guessed what was going on with the two of them. He smiled and invited them to sit down.
"The commander is reading a book. I'll go take a look. Please sit down and wait a moment."
Gu Chuanming came out of the study. Today he finally didn't have to accompany Zhou Shixiong anymore, and he had a rare time to read a book. But then something else came up.
Sitting on the sofa, looking at the two people opposite me.
"What's up?"
Lu Yue twitched her finger when she heard the leader's question.
"Sir, I've taken a liking to Lu Yue and want to marry her. I've come to report this to you."
"Oh? Lu Yue, what are your thoughts?"
Lu Yue jumped up. "Commander, I'm willing too!"
"Sit down! Since you two are both willing, I naturally have no objection."
Cai Peilin is now a major, and Lu Yue is also in the military, so you can go directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau. However, I'll still need to give you a certificate in a bit.
Cai Peilin stood up and saluted, saying, "Thank you, sir."
"As long as you two live a good life together from now on, that's fine. You both need to understand each other."
The two stood up and bowed, a sign of respect for their elder. Cai Peilin took the certificate given to him by Gu Chuanming and returned to Zhang Hongmei.
Although he was quite happy, he didn't show it on his face.
However, Zhang Hongmei had lived under the same roof as Cai Peilin for three years, so how could she not know that he was happy?
Congratulations, you've achieved your wish.
There's still time. You two go to your own homes and see if there's anything missing, and quickly get it.
"Hmm, Hongmei, shall we have two tables at the restaurant for lunch tomorrow?"
"It's your decision; I can't go anywhere."
"I'll invite you after you give birth."
"Hehe, that's great. Hurry up, or we'll miss dinner!"
After they left, the old lady looked at Zhang Hongmei, who was slumped on the sofa, and smiled.
"You! You worry about everything."
"Yeah, it's tiring for someone like me. But there won't be any more of these things in the future. All my friends are married. As for these girls, let them worry about their own lives."
"Well, the hardest thing left is my Jingze," Hu Aifen sighed. Her disobedient son.
A brief silence fell over the living room. Liu Jingze's family was helpless against him, and Zhang Hongmei felt that she could only offer advice as a friend, but she couldn't go too far.
Gu Chuanming arrived early today because he couldn't bear to see Zhang Hongmei's big belly. Every time she moved around, his heart ached.
"Grandpa, where's my dad?"
"He went out, but he'll be back for dinner tonight."
Hongmei, you've sent your people out again. What will happen to the children?
“Grandpa, we have enough people now. We’ll find more people to take care of the children after they turn two.”
"Hmm, won't this feel unfamiliar?"
"They're all our own people. Besides, even if someone is taking care of them, they can't leave my sight."
"Oh, that's fine. I'll bring over a few male comrades tomorrow and have them follow behind Chengzi and the others. We'll then select the best ones to stay."
Zhang Hongmei just smiled, thinking to herself, "Aren't you being a bit too hasty?" But she couldn't be too harsh either; she could just let the old lady do as she pleased.
The old lady snorted, "Find a few more, and make sure they're the best."
"Yes, definitely. Once the person arrives, you will be able to see them."
"Yes, Hongmei will need two male comrades by her side for safety from now on."
"I've thought about it, but Shouyi isn't willing!"
“There are many things he doesn’t want to do, but I don’t care about that. All I want is for him to be safe.”
"I understand, I'll make the arrangements tomorrow."
Zhang Hongmei just laughed, finding their competition quite interesting. She didn't care about it herself, feeling that her safety wouldn't be a problem.
Zhou Shixiong also came over. These days, if he doesn't come over for a meal, he loses his appetite completely. Li Chang'en has complained to himself more than once that he feels extremely embarrassed every time he comes over to freeload a meal.
"Uncle, I think you are in much better spirits."
"Right? I think so too. Now I can sleep through the night."
"Hehe, that's fine then."
"Of course you're good, eating my family's food for free all day long." Gu Chuanming couldn't stand Zhou Shixiong's smug look and immediately retorted.
"Why are you being so stingy? It's just a meal at your house. No, this is my family's house too."
Gu Chuanming gave him a disdainful look. "You're just pretending. What's the difference between my family's food and yours?"
"I just love eating at your place, I'm going to come every day to annoy you."
The old lady watched the two bickering with amusement, finding it quite amusing.
"Bring some food over tomorrow! My family doesn't have any surplus food either."
"Heh heh, I'll eat you out of house and home!"
The two old children got more and more excited as they bickered, and they seemed to enjoy it immensely.
Zhang Shouyi came home early today. The afternoon meeting was canceled, so he decided to skip work and come home to be with his wife.
