Xiao Zheng came on the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month, stayed for two days and then went back, only coming back at Dongdong's wedding.
Busy as a whim.
An Hua found it strange, as she had never seen Mangshi like this in previous years.
Xiao Zheng sighed, "In January, the higher-ups raised a number of issues regarding the reform of the military's education and training... In short, the military will undergo major changes in the next two years, so we'll be busy."
An Hua stopped asking questions and started talking about tomorrow's wedding.
She came to Beijing in advance, originally planning to host the wedding, but she found that there was nothing to host with just a few simple banquet tables, so He Mingzhang's staff took care of everything.
"...Anyway, I didn't do anything, which saved me a lot of worry."
Xiao Zheng emphasized, "No matter what else, we have to pay for this expense, otherwise Dongdong will look like a live-in son-in-law."
An Hua said, "That's what I planned, but He Chun refused and insisted that each family pay half."
Xiao Zheng shook his head, "This is not good... Then, you should pack a bigger red envelope for the tea."
An Hua smiled and said, "You still have to tell me. I've been ready for a long time."
In addition to the red envelope, An Hua also prepared a set of jewelry, which has been sent to He Congyun.
***
State Guesthouse, banquet hall.
Xiao and He's families didn't invite many relatives, so in total there were less than ten tables.
There were no relatives from the Xiao family, only Xiao Zheng's old comrades-in-arms, Dongdong's grandparents, uncle, and some colleagues and friends.
Xiao Zheng even took An Hua to meet the old comrades at that table.
An Hua sighed softly, "There are quite a lot of people here. Didn't they come so many times when you got married?"
It's true. Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "So, let's get to know each other and say hello."
These old comrades of Xiao Zheng include some younger than him and some older than him. Although their military ranks have not been restored yet and their levels cannot be displayed, it is obvious at first glance that they are not ordinary people.
An Huan looked chaste and virtuous. She followed Xiao Zheng and kept smiling and nodding.
She was wearing a lake blue cheongsam today with exquisite Suzhou embroidery on it. She wore a emerald green jade bracelet on her wrist and a pair of jade pendants of the same material on her ears. She was dressed simply yet elegantly.
"Oh, you are so lucky, you married such a beautiful wife!"
"I've told you long ago that you don't believe me. Don't look at Comrade Xiao Tiezhu's ugly appearance. He is very good at marrying a wife!"
"No wonder today's groom is so gentle and handsome. I was wondering how Xiao Tiezhu could give birth to such a son. Now I understand after seeing his wife. A son takes after his mother!"
Xiao Zheng was insulted by everyone, but he was not angry. Instead, he was very proud. He straightened his back and scolded with a smile: "You bunch of old guys are just jealous of me!"
"Yes, yes, we are jealous of you. We are jealous that you are getting married at such an old age, while I already have a grandson!"
"What's that? My grandson can even be a helper!"
Xiao Zheng smiled when he heard this, "Your grandson can help with cooking? Really, my youngest son is also at the age where he can help with cooking."
These light words caused everyone present to remain silent for three seconds.
