Yan Ci told Bai Xiaoyue and Old Madam Xie to go first, and then exchange Li Mingyue's ticket for a sleeper ticket after someone got off the train.
Bai Xiaoyue found the sleeper car, with a lower berth and an upper berth in the same compartment.
The lower bunk was perfect for Grandma Xie, as she is old and has difficulty climbing up and down.
Grandma Xie lay on her sleeper bed and sighed:
"It's so great now. The car goes fast, it's convenient to go anywhere, and I can even sleep in it."
Bai Xiaoyue: "Grandma Xie, you must take good care of your health, it will be even better in the future."
Maybe in the future I'll be able to travel thousands of kilometers a day, arriving at wherever I want to go without even needing to sleep.
Grandma Xie smiled and said, "It would be wonderful if that were really possible."
Bai Xiaoyue nodded: "That's great. Even if you marry someone far away, you can still go back to your parents' home every day."
Grandma Xie covered her mouth and laughed: "Xiaoyue, you really dare to think of such things."
Bai Xiaoyue: "You should live a long and healthy life, and then we'll see if I'm right!"
Grandma Xie: "Xiaoyue, you must be tired too. Go upstairs and rest."
Bai Xiaoyue tucked the blanket around the old lady and said, "Grandma Xie, please call me if you need anything." Then she climbed up to the top bunk to rest.
Two stops later, Li Mingyue quietly came over to Bai Xiaoyue and told her that she had gotten a ticket and that the next stop was next door.
Fearing that the old lady's stomach couldn't handle the food outside, Bai Xiaoyue and Li Mingyue took Grandma Xie to a restaurant for a meal.
The restaurant wasn't crowded, and the food was quite good. The old lady insisted that Yan Ci and Wang Weiguo come along.
Bai Xiaoyue asked Li Mingyue to stay with the old lady while she went to find Yan Ci.
She found Yan Ci and Wang Weiguo after walking through several carriages, and invited them to the restaurant for a meal.
Wang Weiguo disagreed, saying that there would be no seats left when he came back, and he told Yan to resign.
Bai Xiaoyue said, "Brother-in-law, let's all go. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the food is delicious."
"You can sit in our carriage later. Some people will definitely get off before dark, so you can exchange your tickets for sleeper berths."
Yan Ci nodded, got up and went to the sleeper car, putting his luggage on Bai Xiaoyue's berth.
Wang Weiguo also put his luggage down and went to the restaurant to eat with them.
After the meal, the group returned to the sleeper car and sat together chatting.
As they approached the next stop, the people in the lower and middle bunks opposite Bai Xiaoyue were packing up their things to get off the train.
Yan Ci immediately asked the train conductor to exchange the two tickets.
Wang Weiguo asked Li Mingyue to stay here and talk to everyone, while he went to sleep in the next room.
Because of Grandma Xie's presence, the group ate at the dining car every meal.
Having enjoyed the meal and rested well, Grandma Xie showed no signs of fatigue when she got off the bus. She looked radiant and didn't look like an 81-year-old at all.
Cui Yu and Xiao Bai came to pick them up, and he was so happy that his mouth almost stretched to the back of his ears.
Grandma Xie was exceptionally enthusiastic when she saw Xiaobai:
"Xiaobai, I've come to see you. Let me see if you've lost weight."
Xiao Bai stood still, letting Grandma Xie touch this and that: "Grandma, I'm fine."
After greeting them, Cui Yu quickly took the luggage from Yan Ci's hands and told the others that Chang Le had gone to the shop, which was why she hadn't come.
Bai Xiaoyue thought Cui Yu was a good person. They had known each other for eight years, knew each other well, and he was devoted to Chang Le.
The group went directly to Chang Le's courtyard, and Chang Le returned just as they put down their luggage.
She greeted everyone politely, and then gave Bai Xiaoyue a big hug.
"Mom, I miss you so much!"
Hearing her daughter's laughter, Bai Xiaoyue couldn't help but laugh along.
Before leaving, Cui Yu said to Bai Xiaoyue and Yan Ci:
"Uncle, Aunt, my parents would like to invite you to our home tomorrow to discuss my marriage with Chang Le."
Bai Xiaoyue readily agreed, saying she would definitely arrive on time.
That evening, after settling Grandma Xie in, she finally had time to talk to Yan Ci in her room.
“Aci, Cui Yu and Chang Le are getting married. Shouldn’t you explain the matter of Xiao Jin Suo to Cui Yun Chen?”
Yan Ci pondered for a moment: "How about I talk to him quietly tomorrow?"
Bai Xiaoyue nodded: "Okay, let's find an opportunity!"
...
The next day, Cui Yu came early to pick up the family and take them to the Cui family home.
The Cui family members were all present, including Cui Rong and Lu Zhiyuan.
As the two families were about to discuss the wedding arrangements, Chang Le said from the side:
"Cui Yu and I are planning to keep it simple. We'll just invite our relatives and friends over for a meal so they can get to know each other."
Cui Yu nodded: "That's what I think too."
Cui Jinxiu and Cui Yunchen felt helpless about their son's indecisive behavior.
Cui Jinxiu ignored him and spoke directly to Chang Le:
"Changle, this is too unfair to you. We made it a very lively event."
Chang Le: "Aunt Cui, just invite your relatives over for a meal so they can get to know each other."
I'm going back to my hometown to hold another one. My grandparents, maternal grandparents, uncles and aunts are all there.
Many relatives and friends are still in our hometown.
Grandpa Cui made the decision:
“Then let’s listen to Chang Le. Let’s all go back to the village and have some fun. It’s a great place.”
Cui Jinxiu added, "Yan Ci, Xiao Yue, our family really likes Chang Le. We've already prepared all the furniture and everything."
Bicycles, tape recorders, sewing machines—we have them all at home.
We've prepared three thousand yuan for Chang Le. Is that alright? If there's anything else we haven't considered, please let us know.
The Cui family members all remained calm, indicating that they had discussed it beforehand.
Bai Xiaoyue thought to herself, "The usual bride price is only a few hundred yuan, what else do I have to mention?"
Neither side objected, and the date was set for two days later.
As they were leaving, Yan Ci suggested that he talk to Cui Yunchen, and Cui Yunchen talked with him as they walked.
Cui Yu was worried that the marriage might change, so he was a little anxious.
Bai Xiaoyue told him not to worry, as long as Chang Le acknowledged him, even if the sky fell, he would still be Chang Le's husband.
Hearing Bai Xiaoyue say this, Cui Yu finally felt at ease.
He took out a bankbook and handed it to Bai Xiaoyue: "Auntie, this is my betrothal gift for Chang Le."
Bai Xiaoyue opened it and saw that there was 10,000 yuan on it.
Chang Le was also nearby. When she saw the numbers on it, she shouted, "Cui Yu, what are you doing?"
Cui Yu said solemnly:
"Chang Le, marrying you is the most important thing in my life. I'm giving you all my money to show my sincerity."
Bai Xiaoyue thought for a moment, then put the passbook away: "Cui Yu, Chang Le, you have a long life ahead of you."
Life is full of ups and downs. If one day you want to get angry with each other, or want to be upset with each other...
Think about today, think about this moment, think about this savings account.
Cui Yu nodded: "Auntie, I know. I will definitely live a good life with Chang Le. I will treat Chang Le the way Uncle treated you."
Chang Le also promised: "Mom, I will cherish Cui Yu. I have chosen him, and I will spend my life with him."
Bai Xiaoyue said with a smile, "I also believe that you can live well, because my Chang Le is very outstanding, and our Cui Yu is also excellent."
