After careful consideration, Erhe finally decided not to bring the sewing machine back to the village. Instead, she took it out and put it in the warehouse. There were so many people in the village and it was inevitable that she would let the cat out of the bag, so it was better to keep a low profile.
Moreover, she was about to prepare for her wedding and had no time to do these things, but she needed to prepare in advance, and she also needed a batch of fabrics. Making autumn clothes required comfortable and soft fabrics. When she was free, she would go to find Zou Zhou. The two of them would first go to the department store to take a look around and get a few sets of autumn clothes, and then go to the garment factory to see if there was any fabric. Otherwise, there was still the "channel" of San Ye.
Every lucky person has someone to help him.
Now that she has this opportunity, she doesn't intend to miss it.
With a plan in mind, Erhe calmly made arrangements.
In the midst of the busyness, time has already entered the late twelfth lunar month.
As the New Year approaches, the date of their wedding is also getting closer.
The new house has been almost decorated. A new wardrobe and bed have been installed, and the curtains have been replaced with new floral fabrics. He Zheng's proudest little house has also been built.
It was next to the house to the west, a room separated by a wall. The front was the kitchen, and the back was a bathing room. As for the bathtub...
There was no such thing, so a big pot was built with fire underneath. In winter, people would take a bath in the pot. With the fire underneath, the water would always remain warm, so it was very convenient to take a bath in winter.
Although this thing looks very rustic, it is very practical.
Erhe looked at the big pot and imagined herself taking a bath in it with a blazing fire underneath.
The picture is really too beautiful.
He Zheng's heart was also filled with joy. "From now on, if you want to take a bath, I will boil water for you."
"You have a beautiful thought."
He Zheng smiled happily, "I'm boiling water for my wife to take a bath, so of course it's beautiful."
The two were talking in the hut when Wang Xiu came over.
"Look, we've hired a chef to prepare the food and arranged the menu. Your father and I can take care of the menu. Erhe, we've counted the number of relatives from the He family, and there are twelve tables in total. But in your case..."
Normally, when two families marry a daughter or a daughter, the relatives of the two families will have the banquet separately in their respective homes, but the situation in Erhe is special now.
There is also the question of where to get married.
The wedding procession sets out from the He family. Where are they going to bring the bride back?
Since we are having a wedding, these things need to be taken into consideration.
He Zheng looked at Erhe nervously, afraid that mentioning these things would make her unhappy.
Erhe has never been married, and she has been so focused on business lately that she actually forgot about this. "I only have one friend here, Zou Zhou. If you really want to count the Su family and Li Dong and Li Xi, there's only about one table of people."
"You don't have to tell me that. The Su family and their spouses will come to help, and Li Dong and Li Xi will just come over to eat together. That means you'll only be one more friend."
Speaking of this, Wang Xiu felt a little distressed, thinking that this was a once-in-a-lifetime event after all, "No one from the Nie family... is coming?"
"I didn't invite them."
Erhe speaks frankly.
Wang Xiu was stunned. "Okay, even if they don't come, we can still have a lively wedding."
She thought to herself that if she was the biological mother of the Nie family, she would come anyway even if her daughter didn't invite her, because it was her own daughter getting married.
But when I think about Chen Yuqin, she could have made up her mind to replace her daughter.
Wang Xiu didn't mention this bad thing either.
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
Holding a wedding is not a trivial matter, and all aspects must be taken into consideration. Wang Xiu has been lying in bed every day recently, going over the process in her mind, thinking over and over again whether she has missed anything.
provincial capital.
The twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Nie Ming finally finished his work in the army and had time to go home.
The first thing he did was to ask someone to book a ticket for him as he wanted to go to the county town.
Because of the mission, he had to return to the army urgently. Military orders were above everything else, so he sacrificed his family affairs for this. Now he has specially asked for half a month's leave. It is not ruled out that he will be recalled in advance in case of emergency, so he went home to pack some things and prepared to go to the station.
The two eldest daughters have already started their own families and are now living with their husbands in other places.
At home...
Nie Chuan was also in the army, so he wouldn't kick him out just because he wasn't a member of the Nie family. Besides, no one in the army knew that Nie Chuan was his son.
Of course, since they lived in the same military compound, all the old neighbors and comrades knew about it.
He hadn't been home for a month or so, and he and his wife Chen Yuqin had no chance to communicate.
That's what soldiers are like. When they're on a mission, they can't even contact their families.
Just tidying up in the bedroom.
Chen Yuqin also came back from get off work.
Seeing her husband in the bedroom, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Chen Yuqin's face.
"You, are back?"
They used to be a loving couple. Nie Ming was busy with work, so Chen Yuqin took care of the family and raised their three children. Nie Ming felt guilty but also respected his wife and gave in to her in everything.
Caused a mistake in getting the wrong child.
Nie Ming didn't believe it at first. How could his wife do such a thing?
now……
"Please ask for leave from the hospital and come back to my hometown with me. We must resolve our daughter's issue. Regardless of whether she recognizes us or not, we are her parents and must fulfill our parental responsibilities."
Chen Yuqin looked at her husband, a variety of complex emotions flashing in her eyes, and finally spoke.
"Nie Ming, I actually think... it might not be such a bad thing now. My daughter will eventually get married, and she's found the one she'll spend her life with. We can compensate them financially, or... arrange jobs for them and have them come to the provincial capital..."
When in the county town, Chen Yuqin also thought about giving up everything to recognize this girl.
You can return to the provincial capital.
Returning to this familiar compound, I am surrounded by familiar colleagues and friends.
She was scared.
If everyone knew that she despised the daughter she gave birth to and gave her away to someone else, how would she face her friends and colleagues in the future? How would she have the nerve to continue living in the compound? And the hospital? What her colleagues in the obstetrics department of the hospital hate most are parents who insist on having sons and look down on daughters.
And she did just that.
If everyone knew about this, how would she face her colleagues and friends?
Nie Ming paused while folding clothes and looked up in disbelief. "Chen Yuqin, do you know what you're talking about? As the saying goes, correct mistakes as soon as you realize them. Didn't you say the same thing when you were educating your children? Why can't you do it yourself?"
Nie Ming was very angry, and his expression was extremely serious. He had held a high position in the army for many years, and his eyes were so sharp and scary when he was serious. Even Chen Yuqin couldn't help but be afraid.
"I'm also concerned about your reputation. If this gets to everyone... how will you convince them to trust you..."
She was afraid, really afraid, afraid of losing everything she had now and afraid of facing other people's sarcastic eyes.
Nie Ming looked at her disappointedly. "We've been married for many years, and you should know me well. If I were a despicable person who said one thing and meant another, I would have wasted the trust my superiors and the soldiers placed in me. I've already submitted a confession to the higher-level military region, explaining the entire matter, and the outcome will be announced soon."
