Xiao Yuheng's eyes lit up; it was good that he wasn't being excluded from joining the army.
“Aheng often goes on missions, and I don’t know anyone there, so it’s too boring. It’s different here. I’m familiar with everyone, and I have a lot to do, so life isn’t so boring.”
She wasn't the type of person who revolved around her husband and children; she had discussed this with Xiao Yuheng before.
Uncle Li and Aunt Li agreed with this view. Women should have their own careers. An'an was doing so well in Xiaowang Village, and the village even paid her a monthly salary. It would be wrong to just give it up like this.
At this point, Xiao Yuheng had nothing more to say but guilt. If An'an had chosen someone who could be with her all the time, her life would have been much easier.
Unlike him, he can't get to his family's side immediately if something happens.
“I can understand and respect An’an’s decision.”
Aunt Li, however, was not as optimistic as the two of them. They were just getting married, and their relationship must be good.
But if they live apart right after getting married, will their relationship change? Will a third person appear? Will the long-term separation cause misunderstandings between them?
These were the things that filled her mind at that moment.
"An'an, shouldn't we reconsider? Isn't it a bit inappropriate for newlyweds to live apart for an extended period?"
Gu An'an thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Hmm~ Anyway, it will take several months to hibernate here, so why don't I go there during the hibernation period and come back in the spring?"
It seems like a waste to not be able to enjoy the life of someone as strong and healthy as you finally met them and live apart for so long.
Anyway, there's not much to do during the winter, so it's a good time to rest and recuperate.
"Really? An'an, are you really willing?"
"Um."
If it weren't for the abundance of third wheels on set, Xiao Yuheng would have loved to rush up, pick him up, and spin him around a few times.
However, he restrained himself.
Aunt Li thought it was a good idea. The couple could spend time together, and if anything happened, the husband could come over to help. If all else failed, the wife could even remotely direct the husband over the phone.
It's not a big problem.
"Uncle Li and Aunt Li, please rest assured to entrust An'an to me. Although I am busy with work, I will do my best in other aspects and will not let her suffer any grievances."
Gu An'an really didn't care about that. She couldn't stand being wronged, and if that ever happened, she would definitely shut the person up immediately.
The young couple has already set their sights on each other, and all the other parents can do now is offer some advice; there's nothing else they can do.
"Okay, I hope you keep your word."
Having said that, the serious topic should come to an end, and Chen Yong stepped in to smooth things over.
"Uncle Li, don't worry. I've been with the boss for four years and I know him very well. He's a man of his word and he'll definitely treat An'an well."
With Chen Yong, an acquaintance, involved, the atmosphere immediately improved.
Xiao Yuheng breathed a sigh of relief and snuggled up to Gu An'an, whispering, "Don't be afraid! I'll be good to you."
Looking at the man's sincere and honest appearance, Gu An'an could only laugh, "If you dare to treat me badly, I'll divorce you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuheng's expression changed. After a two-second silence, he said emphatically, "I won't give you that kind of chance."
Gu An'an couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Alright, then let's wait and see."
After the young couple finished their conversation, Xiao Yuheng then began to win over Factory Director Li, accompanying him for tea and conversation, trying his best to let him understand him and put their minds at ease.
During the conversation, Director Li still tested the waters from time to time, but Xiao Yuheng showed no sign of anger. On the contrary, he was very happy that there was a couple who cared about Gu An'an.
As for people like Zhang Changsheng, Xiao Yuheng never took them seriously.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, before dawn, Gu An'an was woken up by noises outside.
"Awake? Hurry up and wash your face and get dressed, Xiao Xiao will be here soon."
Seeing one person carrying water for washing her face and another carrying a towel, Gu An'an felt a little embarrassed and wanted to do it herself, but Aunt Li refused.
"It's a custom. I'll comb your hair and send you off on your wedding day in place of your mother."
Thinking of Gu's mother, Aunt Li also felt a little sad. If her mother hadn't married such a heartless man, would she be able to watch her daughter get married now?
What else could Gu An'an say? She could only sit obediently in the chair and wait to be served.
After washing her face and combing her hair, Gu An'an took out her tools to apply lotion to herself. After all, it was such an important day as her wedding, so she couldn't just do a sloppy job.
"An'an, you're already beautiful enough. If you dress up like this, Brother Xiao won't be able to walk past you, will he?"
"You're exaggerating."
Despite saying that, Gu An'an was still quite satisfied with her current face.
"I'm not making this up. You can ask Aunt Li if you don't believe me."
Aunt Li, who was being prompted, nodded honestly, "Xiaoyue is right, you look so beautiful now. Can these things really make such a big difference just by applying them to your face?"
"Auntie, I'll do your makeup sometime and give your uncle a makeover."
Gu An'an winked and was gently patted by Aunt Li. "Why are you being so indecent? What haven't he seen of me? You're more like 'amazed' than 'stunned'."
The room was bustling with activity, and so was the area outside. Uncle Li and Aunt Li, who were from the bride's family, took the lead, and the villagers spontaneously came to help, filling the small courtyard to the brim.
"Oh my, how come Gu Zhiqing got married so quickly?"
"What else could it be? They're both outstanding. Why wouldn't two such outstanding people get together sooner?"
"That young man from the Xiao family is already a military officer. In the future, Gu Zhiqing will be a military officer's wife. I wonder if she will leave with him. What will we do if she leaves?"
In just a few months, Gu An'an had become the core of this village. It was impossible not to panic when she suddenly did this.
"What are you afraid of? The village chief's family is still here. Gu Zhiqing will definitely not abandon us. The most important thing is to handle things well today and not cause any trouble for Gu Zhiqing."
The women chatted in small groups while busy with their work.
Fortunately, the weather cooperated, and Gu An'an covered the entire courtyard with a plastic sheet; otherwise, everyone would have been too cold to chat.
"Here they come! Here they come! The bride's attendant has arrived in a big truck to pick up the bride."
Just as Gu An'an finished, a group of children outside shouted with laughter, "Big cart, here to pick up the bride!"
"Xiao Juan, Xiao Yue, you two stay here and keep An An company. I'm going out to take a look."
"Okay, I guarantee I'll complete the mission."
As they were talking, Zhou Yue hid Gu An'an's shoes.
Seeing her actions, Gu An'an knew perfectly well that she had let something slip last time.
That's enough.
"Enough? Not enough! Brother Xiao has such good taste, it's not that easy for him to marry you so easily."
"An'an, don't worry. Brother Xiao is a soldier. We can hide in this place without making things difficult for him."
The two men exchanged glances as they hid the shoes, and Gu An'an could tell they were up to something.
However, she didn't care and quietly played the role of a bride, letting Xiao Yuheng worry about whatever trouble he had.
Xiao Yuheng: ...Wife, you can't do this~
