Hearing that his uncle would be coming, Qin Han thought that he could just give the fruits of his labor to his uncle, as those things would be put to good use only with his uncle around.
On the third night, Qin Jianye came. I hadn't seen him for almost two years, and he looked more mature and charming.
When Old Mrs. Qin saw her son coming, she exchanged a few words of greeting and then hurried to cook.
"Laowu, how many days can you stay this time?" Qin Jiayi poured a glass of boiled water for his brother.
Qin Jianye reached out to take it and finished the glass of boiled water. The weather was really too hot. Even though it was already six o'clock, the temperature was still very high.
After finishing his drink, he put down the cup and said, "Three days of meetings, we will take a plane back to the Magic City on the morning of the fourth day."
When the children heard about taking a plane, they immediately became excited.
"Uncle, did you come here by plane?" Qin Xia asked curiously.
Qin Jianye smiled and nodded: "Yes, I came here by plane with our leader."
"What does it feel like to fly on a plane? Will the plane fall?" Qin Mang had a hundred thousand questions.
Listening to his niece's question, Qin Jianye didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "If this plane falls, can you still see your uncle?
It is still very safe to fly. They will carefully check the aircraft equipment before departure. As for the feeling, it is similar to the feeling of riding in a car, except that you will feel weightless during takeoff and landing! "
In this way, the children kept asking questions about airplanes. Although Qin Jianye didn't quite understand, he still chatted with the children patiently.
During dinner, Qin Jianye announced something: "Mom, Xinyun and I have agreed to get married during the Chinese New Year, but the wedding will not be held in our hometown."
Old Lady Qin immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks: "If we don't hold it at home, then where can we hold it? Are you going to hold it at the woman's house? Are you going to be a live-in son-in-law?"
Seeing that his mother had misunderstood his meaning, Qin Jianye hurriedly explained: "No, I don't want to be a live-in son-in-law, and I won't hold the wedding at Xinyun's house!" Old Mrs. Qin was confused by this: "If it's not held at our house, nor at Xinyun's house, then where can it be held?"
Qin Han, who was chewing a bone, understood what his uncle meant. Without waiting for his uncle to answer, he spoke first: "Grandma, my uncle and aunt are both in the army. I guess they must want to hold their wedding in the army."
Qin Jianye smiled and nodded: "Han'er is still smart. He guessed what my uncle meant at once."
When Mrs. Qin heard about holding a wedding in the army, she immediately asked, "Will your commander approve it? What about the banquet? You can't ask the army to pay for your wedding, can you?"
"This is what our leader meant. He said that the army hasn't had such a happy event in a long time, and he hopes that our wedding can bring some happiness to the army.
As for the banquet, it can be arranged on the day of the party. It happens that all soldiers take a day off on this day every year. The army will arrange a sumptuous meal, so I don’t have to worry about it.”
Jiang Yuxin thought this was a good idea: "Mom, I think as long as they love each other, it doesn't matter where they hold their wedding.
They have been in the army for more than ten years. If they can get married in the army, it will be of extraordinary significance!"
"But this means we won't be able to attend my uncle's wedding." Qin Xue's disappointed expression was evident in her words.
"Attending the wedding is not important. The most important thing is that we all hope that my uncle and aunt can live happily. Xue'er, don't you think so?"
After hearing what her mother said, Qin Xue seemed to suddenly become enlightened: "Well, mom is right, it doesn't matter where my uncle holds his wedding. What matters is that my uncle is happy."
The other children also nodded in agreement. Seeing how sensible the children were, Qin Jianye was very pleased: "They are all good children. When my uncle and aunt come back, our family will celebrate together. Can you bless my uncle then?"
"Good!" the children said in unison with smiles on their faces.
Speaking of marriage, Old Lady Qin remembered something: "Jianye, have you discussed the dowry with Xinyun? Since we are the man's family, we should visit the woman's family and discuss the dowry."
"Mom, just leave the gift to me. I have saved a lot of money over the years, which is more than enough for me to marry a wife.
As for you meeting Xinyun's parents, you and Dad can come directly to the army on the day of our wedding. Her parents will also come, so it won't be too late for you to meet them later."
"That won't do. Your brothers' marriages were arranged by your father and I, so how can I let you be responsible for it alone?
Don't worry, I have money. Just tell me how much you want to give as a gift. In any case, you can't treat Xinyun unfairly!"
Since Qin Jianye said he would be responsible, he would not let his parents worry about this.
He took everything on himself with a tough attitude, and Old Lady Qin had no choice but to obey him.
"Mom doesn't care about your betrothal gift, but where do you plan to live after you get married?"
Xiao Youxun, who was standing by, smiled and replied, "Mom, Qin Jianye is now the chief of staff, which is a high rank. I'm afraid the army has already allocated him a room."
Qin Jianye nodded: "Well, the army assigned me a two-story detached house with a yard.
When we get married, we will live in the family compound. When you come, you can stay here too."
“I really have to thank the Party for allocating such a good house to my son.
However, you can't really let the army be responsible for everything when you get married. Otherwise, even if no one says anything, they will definitely have objections in their hearts.
When the time comes, I will slaughter all the pheasants and rabbits at home and bring them over. I can also send some potatoes and sweet potatoes in advance." Old Mrs. Qin has never been the kind of person who likes to take advantage. If it weren't for the limited manpower, she would have wanted to move everything in the cellar over.
