Xu Ning looked at him and asked, "Were you reluctant to spend money in the army? I saved all of it and brought it back. You don't have to be so frugal. We are not short of money now. I saved all the money you gave me before."
Lu Xiaotang held her in his arms and said, "I'm not reluctant to spend money. The army takes care of my food and clothing. I don't smoke and I rarely drink. I really don't have much to spend money on."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Xu Ning said cunningly, "I heard that there are many beautiful female comrades in the military art troupe. Is that true? Do you often go to see their performances?"
Lu Xiaotang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he looked at her and smiled happily.
Xu Ning was so angry at his laughter that he said angrily, "What are you laughing at? Don't say you haven't seen it. I don't believe it."
Seeing that she was about to get angry, Lu Xiaotang immediately stopped laughing and said, "Xiao Ning, whether the female comrades in the art troupe are pretty or not has nothing to do with me.
All I know is that the person I like is you. In my eyes, no one is more beautiful than you, and no one makes my heart beat faster than you.
And those unimportant people will never appear in our lives again. ”
Xu Ning pressed down the corners of his lips and muttered, "Slippery tongue."
Lu Xiaotang looked at the girl in his arms and felt his heart was filled with joy.
When Xu Yang came back from the cowshed, he took out a stack of money from his luggage bag and said to Xu Ning, "This 600 yuan is the dowry our family gives you. Keep it and buy whatever you need in the future."
Xu Ning hurriedly said, "Brother, I don't want it. I have money here. When Xiao An and I went to the countryside, the money my parents gave us hasn't been used much. When my parents came back, they gave me another sum of money. I saved it all."
Xu Yang stuffed the money into her hands and said, "Just take it if I tell you to. This is given to you by your brother. Don't treat yourself badly in the future. Our family is rich." His eyes became red after he said that.
Seeing him like this, Xu Ning couldn't hold back his tears. He walked over and tugged at his sleeve, saying, "I understand, brother. I'll keep it then."
She thought it would be better to keep the money with her, as it would be safe. She could give it to them when she got to the city later, or buy things for them.
The day before the wedding, the two went to the city to get their marriage certificate.
Xu Ning took the paper and looked at it curiously. With this certificate, she was married. It was the first time she got married in two lives and it felt quite novel.
Lu Xiaotang watched her flipping over the marriage certificate and said with a smile, "Come on, I'll take you to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a watch."
Xu Ning said, "No need, my watch is still in good condition, I will buy another one if it breaks later."
"Give this watch to Xiao An, and buy a new one."
Xu Ning thought so too. Xu An is already in high school, and it would be inconvenient for him to not have a watch. Buying him a new one would be too ostentatious, so he might as well give him the old one.
The wedding day happened to be a Sunday, and Xu An’s classmates, Fan Sizhe, Jin Dapeng and Wang Liang all came, as well as Jianmin and Dalin from the same village.
This year, Jianmin and Dalin also went to the city to attend high school. The three of them, plus Wang Liang from the next village, now come back from school together every Saturday and go to school together on Sunday afternoon. Their relationship is even better than before.
The village chief's wife, Aunt Dashuan, Aunt Si, and Aunt Xiangyun came early in the morning to help with cooking.
Several other familiar aunts in the village, several team leaders and accountants, and several families who had helped Xu Ning repair his house in the past all came and sat in the yard chatting lively.
Except for Gu Wenjing, Lin Qiuhua and Jiaohua, all the people from the Youth League Institute have arrived today.
Grandpa Qi and Xu Mo also came and sat with Old Chen, Erdan and Sandan, eating candies and talking happily.
Xu Yang and Lu Xiaotang looked at the people in the yard and felt that six tables might not be enough, so they asked Xu An to borrow two tables from the village.
When Zhao Jianshe and his wife and Su Hongying and her husband arrived, they were a little surprised to see the yard full of people.
They thought Xu Ning came here to work in the countryside and didn't have many relatives or friends here, so there would be only two or three tables at most. However, they didn't expect that the yard was filled with people.
When Lu Xiaotang and Xu Yang saw the two men, they immediately went up to them warmly and invited them in to sit down. The village chief also knew Zhao Jianshe, so he arranged for them to sit with the village chief.
In the kitchen, Aunt Dashuan and the village head's wife looked at the meat in the basin and the braised pig offal and pig head, and thought that the couple were really willing to spend so much.
There were eight tables full of adults and children.
Under the chairmanship of the village chief, Lu Xiaotang and Xu Ning, wearing brand new military uniforms, took an oath in front of the leader's portrait.
Lin Miao sat with several educated youth and watched the newlyweds take their oath.
The man was tall and straight, wearing a neat military uniform. He had an outstanding temperament. When he looked at Xu Ning with his cold face, his eyes were full of tenderness.
Xu Ning, who was sitting opposite him, had a slender figure, with her hair in a braid and a red scarf, which made her skin look white. Although she was not a stunning beauty, it was impossible not to take a few more glances at her.
