Especially in the past two years, Song Heng did not write home for a long time, and his mother wrote to him, but there was no response.
Mr. Song seemed to know something about the situation and told them not to worry, saying that they should go and carry out the mission, but he didn't say anything else.
Later, news of the war with Yue spread throughout the country, and Song's mother had a premonition that her eldest son's so-called mission might have been to the battlefield.
Her husband definitely knew, but he didn't tell her so as not to worry her.
Now that Song Heng is finally back, everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief...
Soon the whole family took their seats. They gathered together, and the table was filled with all kinds of delicacies. Everyone was beaming, clinking glasses and exchanging heartfelt words with their families that they had been holding back for a year.
After dinner, Wen Ruan suggested going to the yard to watch the fireworks, but the parents weren't interested in that. They just wanted to chat, warm themselves by the fire, and watch TV in the cozy house, which was already a wonderful experience.
Upon hearing Wen Ruan's suggestion, they all said they wouldn't join in the fun, and even Song Heng declined.
So Wen Ruan decisively looked at Song Yan.
Upon hearing Wen Ruan's suggestion, Song Yan walked to the coat rack without saying a word, took off his coat, and was already dressed. He was just waiting for her "order" to follow her out to watch the fireworks.
Wen Ruan nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.
The two quickly walked into the courtyard and looked up at the sky. In the distance, there were patches of firelight scattered throughout the darkness. The firelight flickered and leaped into the air, tearing through the boundless night, breaking free from the shackles of darkness, and with a "whoosh," soared out and exploded across the entire sky, creating a dazzling spectacle.
Wen Ruan was stunned by the beautiful scenery before her...
"Is it beautiful?" Wen Ruan reached out and took Song Yan's arm, looking intently at the sky.
Song Yan looked down at the girl beside him and smiled gently, "Beautiful..." Then, looking at the fireworks lighting up the sky, he added, "Beautiful too..."
Wen Ruan looked up at him, not knowing what he was saying, but she had gotten the answer she wanted, and nodded in satisfaction.
"I think it looks beautiful too. I wish we had bought some fireworks to set off. I've never experienced this before," Wen Ruan murmured to Song Yan with some regret.
Song Yan didn't mind, but said that he would definitely prepare these things in advance next year so that she could have as many as she wanted.
The winter night was still quite cold. After standing in the courtyard for a while, Song Yan urged Wen Ruan to go back inside and stay there, as it was too cold and she might catch a cold.
So the two went to the living room and chatted with their family.
Wen Ruan watched with great interest as the four elders discussed Song Heng's marriage. Seeing his somewhat embarrassed and awkward state, not knowing how to refute them, Wen Ruan chuckled to herself. When Song Heng saw this, he glared at her fiercely, which made Wen Ruan laugh even harder.
Midway through their conversation, Wen Ruan suddenly noticed that Song Yan had disappeared, and she didn't know when he had left the house.
Wen Ruan stood up and searched around the house, but still couldn't find him, which made her a little puzzled.
But I didn't pay much attention to it. Maybe something happened. He's a grown man, he couldn't possibly get lost or anything.
Just as Wen Ruan walked into the living room and sat down, she saw Song Yan, wearing an overcoat, just enter the room.
It was snowing quite heavily outside, so he must have been out for a long time, as there was a thin layer of snow on his body.
He silently waved to Wen Ruan, signaling her to come over.
Although Wen Ruan was puzzled, she still followed Song Yan's instructions and went over.
The two thought their conversation was silent and only the other person could hear it, but little did they know that their little actions had been observed by several people present.
They all smiled knowingly and then continued their previous conversation. Song Heng felt that the pressure to get married seemed to have intensified, and he felt somewhat helpless.
"What's wrong?" Wen Ruan asked, puzzled.
Song Yan reached out and handed Wen Ruan her coat, helping her put it on, and said, "Put it on quickly, come with me."
Wen Ruan had no choice but to follow.
Once they reached the front courtyard, Song Yan said, "Ruan Ruan, close your eyes."
At this moment, Wen Ruan seemed to have guessed something and knew that Song Yan was trying to create a surprise for her. She felt warm but also a little amused.
So I closed my eyes and began to look forward to it.
"Alright, you can open your eyes now." Wen Ruan could sense that Song Yan was busy doing something nearby, and after waiting for a while, she finally heard him tell her to open her eyes.
As soon as Wen Ruan opened her eyes, she saw fireworks instantly soar into the sky and ignite above her head.
Wen Ruan looked at Song Yan with some surprise, but that wasn't all. She saw that he had a small box in his palm.
Song Yan gestured for her to open it.
Wen Ruan reached out and took it, carefully opening the box, where a ring lay right in the middle.
Song Yan reached out and picked up the ring, carefully slipping it onto Wen Ruan's left ring finger: "You said before that in your area, couples who want to get married have wedding rings."
“I didn’t know before, but now I need to make up for it.” Song Yan’s words were very brief, but Wen Ruan could see the surging emotions in his eyes.
Wen Ruan was immediately moved and stared at Song Yan without blinking.
Song Yan then took out a ring from his pocket: "Now, beautiful Ms. Wen Ruan, would you like to put this ring on your husband, Mr. Song Yan's, finger?"
