Fang Qiao's words were resounding, like a drumbeat striking Wang Yun's heart, suddenly waking her up.
Fang Qiao is right; everything depends on being able to stay in the capital.
If she couldn't stay in the capital and had to return to Xiaochengzhuang to farm and work all day, all her ideals and ambitions would be nothing but empty talk.
She's getting stuck on something.
She always thought marriage would restrict her steps, but little did she know that she was already bound hand and foot, and could only struggle within a predetermined range.
Marriage won't trap her; what can trap her is her own heart.
Wang Yun understood, and the worry that had been clouding his brows dissipated, revealing a radiant sun.
She smiled and said, "Xiao Qiao, thank you. I've thought it through."
"I knew you were so insightful and would figure it out. All my talking wasn't in vain."
Fang Qiao was very pleased that Wang Yun could understand.
"Let's find some time to talk to Gao Ping as soon as possible. He's been really anxious lately and has had Bai Dong sound me out quite a bit."
Wang Yun was a little embarrassed and apologetic: "I will talk to him properly."
*
Wang Yun is a very proactive girl. She didn't find an opportunity that day, but the next morning she met Gao Ping at Fang Qiao's house. Gao Ping was preparing to go out with Cheng Baidong. She asked Cheng Baidong when he was leaving and received a reply of "no rush". She immediately pulled Gao Ping out.
Cheng Baidong raised an eyebrow and asked Fang Qiao, "Will we be able to attend a wedding this month?"
Fang Qiao didn't answer directly, but just made a "hmm~" sound, but the cheerful little tone revealed her good mood.
Gao Ping was even happier.
Ever since he came back with Wang Yun, a silly smile has appeared on his face from time to time.
On the way out in the car with Cheng Baidong, he even hummed a song happily.
However, the off-key singing was hardly pleasant to listen to.
The jarring sound had been audible to Cheng Baidong for a while, but he couldn't bear it any longer.
He reached up and picked at his ear, deciding to talk to him and shut him up so he wouldn't sing anymore!
"You've finally won your wife's heart, are you in a good mood?"
"Hehe." Gao Ping chuckled, "Of course. Now that I have a wife, I won't be a bachelor anymore."
When are you getting married?
"I've already made plans with Xiaoyun. After we finish our business today, I'll go back and submit the marriage application. Brother Cheng, please approve it for me first, and we'll register tomorrow."
As Gao Ping spoke, he couldn't help but chuckle twice: "After registering, we'll have the wedding banquet in a while. It's a wedding! A major life event, so the new house needs to be properly prepared. The bed and wardrobe will be custom-made by a carpenter, which will take at least half a month. And my parents, they definitely need to be there for my wedding. I'll send a telegram home, and it will take them time to get here."
"Well arranged."
Upon receiving Cheng Baidong's positive feedback, Gao Ping smiled again and said proudly, "It has to be good. After all, I've been thinking about these things for several days, just waiting for Xiaoyun to give her her approval."
Cheng Baidong nodded: "Congratulations on getting what you wanted."
Gao Ping grinned from ear to ear: "Congratulations to you too!"
After chatting for a while, the jeep turned into the alley near where Qiao lived in the south of the city.
The alley was too narrow for the jeep to drive in, so it was parked outside.
Cars are a rarity these days, and as soon as I parked, a bunch of kids swarmed around me.
Gao Ping grinned foolishly at Cheng Baidong in the car, but as soon as he got out, he straightened his expression and became serious and solemn.
The two stood side by side beside the car, their tough-guy aura cultivated over years of martial arts training making the children both excited and afraid, wanting to get closer yet not daring to.
A group of children chattered in hushed tones, their voices filled with longing and admiration.
Just then, a child suddenly said, "Xiaolong, isn't that guy in black behind you your uncle?"
Xiaolong has a bad memory and is really a bit dim-witted.
"Uncle-in-law? Do I have an uncle-in-law?"
Cheng Baidong was rather speechless, so he gave up the idea of talking to the child and strode into the alley.
Jin Xin's family and Fang Qiao's family are neighbors. To get to Jin Xin's house, you have to pass by Fang Qiao's house first.
Just then, Dong Ping was sitting on a stone at the entrance of the courtyard knitting when she saw Cheng Baidong coming over, and her eyes widened in surprise.
She stood up with a look of surprise: "Brother-in-law, what brings you here?" At the same time, she gestured to Cheng Baidong: "Come in quickly."
Cheng Baidong shook his head: "Sister-in-law, no need. I came to see Jin Xin today."
"You're looking for him?" Dong Ping had no idea when they had become acquainted.
Cheng Baidong succinctly stated: "There are some important matters."
"Oh, okay, brother-in-law, you go ahead, I won't take up any more of your time."
Watching Cheng Baidong lead Gao Ping into Jin Xin's house, her son Xiaolong huffed and puffed as he came in from outside the alley: "Mommy, Mommy, was that person really my uncle?"
"Yes, have you forgotten? We went to my aunt's husband's house for a big feast yesterday." Dong Ping affectionately patted Xiaolong's head.
Xiao Long didn't dare admit that he had forgotten, so he made up an excuse: "He changed his clothes today, so I didn't recognize him."
"Then you must remember this, this is your uncle-in-law." Dong Ping instructed, "Next time you meet, be a little sweeter and call him uncle-in-law a few more times. If he's happy, he'll definitely buy you snacks."
Xiao Long gave a perfunctory "uh-huh" and then asked Dong Ping impatiently, "Mom, Mom, Uncle has a car, it's so tall, big and impressive, can you let Uncle drive me around for a couple of rounds?"
"A car?" Dong Ping was taken aback. "What car?"
“A really impressive car,” Xiao Long gestured exaggeratedly with his hands.
