"I... I told Yongliang that I still wanted to live here with you, but he disagreed... He even said to me that Niannian and he also needed me, so I softened my heart and agreed to live with you until school starts, and then move in after school starts..."
"I'm sorry, Lihua, if you don't want me to move out, I'll talk to him again! But I won't move out!" Geng Ailing felt more and more embarrassed as she spoke.
"How could that be, Sister Ailing?"
Fan Hua stepped forward and took Geng Ailing's hand and continued, "Although I will feel uncomfortable if you move away, I have told you before that I am now your family. Although I will feel reluctant, I hope you can be happy!"
"Director Xie is a very nice person. You should be very happy with him. We don't live too far away. You can come back anytime in the future! If Director Xie dares to bully you, I will be the first to disagree! No matter what time, don't forget that you still have me as your family. I will support you..."
Before Fan Hua finished speaking, Geng Ailing hugged her and burst into tears, "Lihua, do you know? Before I met you, I didn't understand what my maternal family was, because my blood family didn't take good care of me. They didn't care how I lived or whether I was happy or not. They only cared about their so-called face and how much benefit I could bring to the family..."
"It wasn't until you started calling me Sister Ai Ling that I realized that a true relative should be like you, someone who would consider my feelings, be afraid of being bullied by others, and think of supporting me..."
"Even though you are younger than me, ever since I met you, I feel like I am no longer a poor person that no one cares about. I have someone to rely on and the confidence to live a good life. In front of you, I can no longer be strong, I can be fragile, I can cry capriciously..."
Geng Ailing wiped her tears and continued, "Wow, Lihua, you don't know how happy I am that I met you on the day before I went south. Otherwise... otherwise I can't even imagine what I would be like now. I might not even be alive in this world!"
"I would never have been able to get into a good university like I am now, and I would have met someone who loves me. You are the salvation of my life!"
"Thank you, Rika!"
Geng Ailing was already sobbing and unable to speak. She hugged Fan Hua tightly, choking with sobs while saying what she had been holding back in her heart for a long time...
Fan Hua gently patted Geng Ailing who was already crying. "Sister Ailing, Yuanyuan and Xiaoxiao are watching you. What if they start crying like you? Be good, stop crying. We have to get the marriage certificate tomorrow, so you have to look beautiful!"
Geng Ailing sniffed and continued, "Lihua, I'll ask Yongliang later to see if he has any way to transfer Zhao Yilu to Yangcheng. Zhao Yilu is now a platoon leader. If he can hold on a little longer, he will be promoted to company commander. Then you can go with the army. Otherwise, I'm really worried about you if I move away!"
Aunt Chu, who had been sitting by the bed and had been secretly wiping away tears several times, immediately said, "Ailing, don't worry and move over! I'll take care of Lihua here, and there are also Su Wen and Zhang Yuan next door, don't worry!"
Seeing Geng Ailing crying, Fan Hua immediately changed the subject and said, "Sister Ailing, you just said that Director Xie's family conditions are not simple. How are they not simple? Tell us!"
Geng Ailing perked up immediately when she mentioned this. She said with a sigh, "I used to think Yongliang's family background should be good, but I didn't expect it to be so good!"
"It was only after I followed Yongliang back to Beijing this time that I learned that Yongliang's grandfather Xie Baoguo was once the political commissar of a division-level unit, his father Xie Mingxuan is now the leader of the Discipline Inspection Department, his uncle Xie Minghui is now the head of a military district in Beijing, and even his cousin Xie Yuchuan is also in politics in Beijing, and his cousin Xie Yuting is studying at the Military Medical University, and will be directly assigned to the military district hospital after graduation..."
"Wait...wait, Sister Ai Ling, who are you talking about? What's the name of Director Xie's cousin?"
"Xie Yuting, if I remember correctly, that's her name! I heard she's only 20 years old this year, and she was admitted to the Beijing Military Medical University when the college entrance examination was resumed in the first year. She should be assigned a job in two years!"
Fan Hua was so shocked that she was completely speechless. Was Geng Ailing now the sister-in-law of the heroine of the original book?
She clearly remembered that there was no mention of Xie Yongliang in the original book...
Hey...wait a minute!
Fan Hua suddenly remembered that in the original book, before Xie Yuting and He Siyan got married, Xie Yuting asked He Siyan to accompany her to the post office to pick up a package.
At that time, Xie Yuting said to He Siyan: "My cousin took the initiative to transfer to the Yangcheng Police Station to avoid being pressured to get married by his family. This is a wedding gift he sent from Yangcheng. He was afraid that he would be forced to get married by the elders at home when he attended our wedding, so he simply didn't come to our wedding..."
Fan Hua suddenly realized!
It turns out that the cousin mentioned by Xie Yuting in the original book is Xie Yongliang!
After going around in circles, she just couldn't figure out these characters in the original book!
Thinking of Geng Ailing's wedding, she would definitely go as a relative or friend, and then she would be able to meet Xie Yuting, the heroine in the original book...
Thinking of the woman in the dream who bought hawthorn pot cakes for Yuan Yuan when he was sick, Fan Hua had a very good impression of Xie Yuting.
Since he has made it clear to He Siyan, she doesn't mind creating an opportunity for He Siyan to meet Xie Yuting earlier in this life!
Geng Ailing looked at Fan Hua who was daydreaming and patted her hands. "Lihua, what are you thinking about? You are so engrossed! Do you know Yongliang's cousin Xie Yuting?"
"How could I know her? I just thought her name sounded nice, unlike my name, Lihua, which has too many duplicate names! I even heard in an opera that Xue Dingshan's wife was also named Fan Lihua!"
"Your name is very nice, and it suits your sweet and lovely temperament." Geng Ailing said sincerely.
Fan Hua stopped arguing with Geng Ailing about this issue and asked, "Sister Ailing, you are going to get your marriage certificate tomorrow. It's such a memorable day, we must celebrate it properly!"
"There's nothing to celebrate. I thought it would be like the day you got your marriage certificate. I can just buy some wedding candies and give them out to everyone! After all, I've been married once, I'm embarrassed to tell anyone!"
"Sister Ai Ling, you can't use me as a reference. I'm a special case! If Zhao Yilu can come and get the marriage certificate with me, I will definitely celebrate and have two tables of wine!"
"Besides, why should you be embarrassed? I didn't feel embarrassed even though I gave birth to a child out of wedlock and remarried. There's no need for you to think so much! You live your life for yourself. Let others say whatever they want. Just live your life happily!"
"How about we book a table at the state-owned restaurant tomorrow and invite all our close friends over to celebrate?" Geng Ailing said hesitantly.
"I think it's a good idea! Let's just think of it as holding a wedding banquet in Guangzhou in advance!" Fan Hua agreed.
"I think it's a good idea too! Tomorrow is the weekend, let everyone come and witness your revolutionary marriage with Director Xie!" Aunt Chu, who had been listening silently and had little sense of presence, also expressed her opinion.
"Okay, let's do it!" Geng Ailing was persuaded by the two.
"Sister Ai Ling, I will work overtime to make you a red dress and dress you up beautifully tomorrow!" Fan Hua said excitedly.
Geng Ailing, who had not taken tomorrow seriously, suddenly became nervous. "So what should I do now?"
"You, hurry up and go find your Chief Xie. While there is still time, you two should go and inform the relatives and friends you want to invite tomorrow, otherwise it will be too late!"
Geng Ailing stood up immediately after hearing this, "Okay, then I'll go tell him now!"
After Geng Ailing left, Fan Hua smiled and started busying herself. When she was halfway through finishing the clothes, Aunt Sun from the newsstand downstairs came up and knocked on the door.
"Lihua, Xiao Zhao is calling, please come down and answer the phone!"
