Chapter 72
Xu Di and her partner got their marriage certificate, and Grandma Qian wanted to secretly find someone to calculate the date of their wedding.
The general environment does not allow feudal superstition, but we still can't help but believe in the customs passed down for thousands of years.
This is also an expectation for a better life in the future, it just requires peace of mind.
The next day at noon, Mrs. Xu came to the department store to find Xu Di.
"Sister-in-law, I'll take you to eat first. The noodles with soybean paste at the nearby state-owned restaurant are delicious."
"Okay, I'll listen to you and go eat first."
Xu Di ordered two servings of mixed noodles and a plate of braised beef.
"Xu Di, we just had meat yesterday, and you want another plate of meat."
"Sister-in-law, this is braised beef. I heard from my colleagues that it tastes delicious.
Normally, I don’t want to eat alone. Today, let's take this opportunity to indulge ourselves. ”
Xu Di heard from Meng Jiao that the braised beef tasted good.
"Okay, let's eat alone for once."
Mrs. Xu is a few years older than Xu Di. After she had a child, she was reluctant to eat or wear clothes and only thought about her husband and child.
"Sister-in-law, the noodles are here. Try the beef. It smells good."
Xu Di brought over noodles and a plate of braised beef, placed a bowl of noodles in front of her sister-in-law and the beef in the middle.
"Mm, it tastes really good. My colleague is a picky eater, she said it's delicious, it's really delicious."
Xu Di tasted a piece of beef. It was neither dry nor hard and had a good texture. Especially the tendons in the meat were delicious.
"It's delicious. Ping An also likes to eat meat. I always feel a little uneasy when I eat it myself."
Mrs. Xu ate a piece of beef, thinking about the fact that Dali and Ping'an didn't get to eat it.
"Sister-in-law, don't always think about my brother and Ping An.
Ping'an is still young, and the time for him to enjoy delicious food is yet to come. We ourselves should also eat well, drink well and wear good clothes! ”
"Yeah, I don't want to think about it anymore, we both ate it."
Mrs. Xu thought about it and agreed that she couldn’t be too hard on herself.
The aunt and the sister-in-law each had a bowl of noodles with soybean sauce and a plate of beef and ate until they were full.
"Xu Di, I feel like my waistband is a little tight."
"Mine isn't loose either. The portion is too big. Let's walk slowly. I'm afraid of getting a stitch in the side."
"Yeah, go slower. I'm afraid the waistband will burst."
Xu Di was almost amused by her sister-in-law. Just thinking about the scene was so funny.
After entering the department store and going to the ready-made wardrobe counter, Xu Di told the salesperson her size and asked him to find her a cashmere coat for her to try on.
The salesperson found the color and size Xu Di wanted and handed it to him.
"You try it."
"Okay, sister-in-law, help me take a look."
When Xu Di put it on, it was the perfect size and the style was good, not bulky at all.
"Okay, this is perfect. You can wear a thin sweater underneath."
"Well, I think the size is right too. It won't work if it's too thin."
Mrs. Xu asked the salesperson to issue a receipt, and she went to pay the money and cloth coupons.
The salesperson folded the clothes, put them in a paper bag and handed them to Xu Di.
"Okay, take the clothes yourself, I have to go back to work."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Virtue."
Mrs. Xu trotted to the bus stop, but she was running out of time.
Xu Di returned to the office carrying the paper bag, and Sister Tang and the others also came back after dinner.
"Xu Di, what did you buy?"
"Cashmere coat."
"Cashmere coat, is it the new one in the front building?"
Sister Tang walked over excitedly, took the paper bag from Xu Di's hand and took a look.
"Really, Xu Di, you're really willing to spend that much! I've seen it several times, and one hundred and fifty yuan is too expensive. I couldn't bear to spend that much."
"A gift from my sister-in-law."
"Gift, Xu Di, I heard that you issued a certificate, is it true or not?"
After Sister Tang asked, Meng Jiao and Wang Wei also looked up at Xu Di.
"Really? We've already got the marriage certificate. I was planning to treat you guys to wedding candy after we set the date."
Xu Di didn't expect that Sister Tang was so well-informed.
"Xu Di, you're moving too fast. I haven't heard that you're dating anyone, so how come you're getting married?"
"Sister Tang, it's not too sudden. Our elders introduced us to each other and we have been communicating.
This time when he came back from vacation, he felt that they were a good match for each other, so they got the marriage certificate. ”
Xu Di gave a brief explanation to satisfy everyone's curiosity.
"Xu Di, your partner is from another place?"
Meng Jiao found it a little unbelievable, as local girls generally wouldn't marry outside the area. Besides, Xu Di still has a job.
"His family is from here, but he is serving in the army in another place."
"Ah, Xu Di, you're going to be a military wife!"
Sister Tang was quite surprised. It’s not easy to be a military wife.
"Well, my partner is a soldier, and I will be a soldier's wife in the future."
Xu Di felt quite proud, but she couldn't explain why she had this feeling.
"Xu Di, do you want to join the army?"
Wang Wei knew that with his rank, he could join the army.
"Not with the army."
Xu Di didn't say anything specific. It was time to go to work, so no one asked too many questions.
Zhang Chaoyang was also very busy. In the morning, he and a few childhood friends put the furniture in place and wiped it clean. The house was bright and spotless.
"Chaoyang, that's enough, it can shine on people, don't wipe it anymore."
Chen Jianguo felt that he was not so tired as he had ever been during an operation, and he wiped it several times.
"Chaoyang, you have changed. Who is this bride that you are so obsessed with her?
Not only did he ask me to prepare a new female military uniform for the bride, he also asked me to get one for his brother-in-law. He really loves his brother-in-law so much that he loves his family as well. ”
Hao Yunlei also joked with Zhang Chaoyang that it was really extraordinary that this thousand-year-old iron tree had blossomed.
"Please understand that he has never been in contact with girls since he was a child. Now he has gone straight to the point where he is just waiting to enter the bridal chamber."
Song Hui winked at the other two people. All of them had dated before, especially Hao Yunlei, who had dated more than one person, but so far none of them had been successful.
"Ha ha……"
These three are really childhood friends, so they don’t have to be restrained when talking to each other.
The four of them were laughing and joking together, and it felt like they were back to the old days.
"Okay, it's not easy for Chaoyang to find a girl he likes. Let's do our part to make his wedding an unforgettable one."
"We contribute money and effort."
"Forget it, among us, who is as rich as Chaoyang? This guy only earns but never spends."
"That's right. I've been working for several years, and I've spent all my money every month. My savings have never exceeded a hundred dollars."
Several people were talking to each other, celebrating their good brother's wedding in their own way.
Zhang Chaoyang looked at the newly tidied room and the funny voices of his brothers. The joy in his heart was swelling and he felt like he was about to explode.
When Grandma Qian came back, she saw several young men sitting on the floor of the living room, leaning against the sofa, and playing around.
"Grandma, we are here."
"It's not easy for all of you to get together. Have dinner at grandma's place today. I'll ask Aunt Wu to make you something delicious later."
"Thank you, grandma. I love coming to your place."
They all grew up under the care of Grandma Qian, and grew up together with Chaoyang. They are closer than brothers.
In the kitchen, Aunt Wu started to get busy.
Ever since Chaoyang came back, there has never been a shortage of delicious food at home.
Grandma Qian couldn’t eat much by herself, so she saved up a lot of food every month.
I have to exchange many tickets with others for fear that they will expire.
This time, Chaoyang is getting married, and there will be one more person in the family, so it will be more lively.
In the future, if we have two more children, our home will become more and more lively.
Grandma Qian was happy just thinking about it and felt more energetic.
