"This time, Xu Xiangyang and I both made great contributions. I received one second-class merit and one third-class merit, and was promoted to brigade commander ahead of schedule. Xu Xiangyang received two third-class merits and was promoted to battalion commander."
Besides them, all the comrades who participated in this mission were awarded merits, and the families of the comrades who sacrificed their lives received not only merits and honors, but also a generous compensation.
Chu Xun was not even thirty years old, yet he was already a brigade commander. To outsiders, he seemed to be enjoying immense prestige.
Li Xiyue understood that every merit a soldier earned was earned through bloodshed and risking their lives.
She hugged him tightly, feeling sorry for him, but couldn't bring herself to congratulate him.
"Yueyue, I have applied to be transferred to the Beijing Military Region. From now on, I will be with you every day."
He no longer needs to go on missions so frequently, which allows him to spend more time with her. Besides, he doesn't want her to worry about him anymore.
Li Xiyue was overjoyed, "That's wonderful, A-Xun."
Personally, she hoped he would be safe and sound more than he would receive glory and honor.
It took Zhuang Le a whole morning to explore the entire house, and he was incredibly excited.
"This house is so big and so beautiful. If I could have a house like this someday, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."
Li Xiyue smiled and reminded him, "Dean Chen's house is quite big and beautiful."
“Yes, that’s right,” Old Zhuang agreed.
Chu Xun understood her intention and said, "The Lu family owns many houses, and there should be some like this one."
“Yes, yes.” Old Zhuang nodded repeatedly.
Zhuang Le rolled his eyes. "Old man, what do you know? You just keep saying 'yes, yes, yes' all the time."
"I don't know yet, but it's almost the weekend, I'll go to the Chen family and find out. As for you, you'll never know." With that, the old man walked away with his hands behind his back.
Zhuang Le chased after him, "How could I not know? I'll find out soon enough, humph!"
The master and apprentice walked away, bickering as they went.
Liao Qingshan smiled helplessly, then remembered something and asked, "By the way, Xiao Chu, have you and Yueyue submitted your marriage application?"
“Grandpa, we already fought it,” Chu Xun replied.
Soldiers have to report to their organization in advance whether they are dating or getting married, and he had already prepared these reports.
He had everything ready, and was just waiting for Yueyue's approval.
"Your grandmaster and I have calculated that Yueyue's birthday is an auspicious day for marriage. Let's set your wedding date for that day," Liao Qingshan said with a smile.
Chu Xun was overjoyed, "Thank you, Grandpa!"
Li Xiyue thought to herself, "I'll get married on my birthday, and then it will be Chinese New Year. After that, I can go back to my parents' home for the New Year. Not bad, not bad."
"The 22nd is an auspicious day for the betrothal, and the 26th is an auspicious day for the marriage certificate," Liao Qingshan added.
These three dates were carefully calculated by him and his uncle, and they were perfectly matched with their birth dates.
Chu Xun noted it down, "Thank you, Grandfather. You and Grandmaster have worked hard. I'll take care of the rest."
After having lunch at Li Xiyue's house, Chu Xun returned to the Chu family home to discuss the marriage with his family.
His transfer order hasn't come through yet, so he needs to take advantage of the free time to prepare for his wedding with Yueyue.
Liao Qingshan also needs to prepare a dowry.
Now that the wedding date was set, Li Xiyue wrote and sent out several more letters. If the wedding was to take place during the Lunar New Year, then everyone who came to attend the wedding would have to spend the New Year in the capital, so accommodations had to be prepared for everyone.
In the end, Li Xiyue decided to let everyone stay in the two-courtyard house with plum blossoms, which was her favorite.
Fortunately, Quan Yicheng has been taking care of the house for her, and will send people over from time to time to clean and repair it. The house doesn't need much tidying up; you just need to prepare some daily necessities and bedding.
We're unsure how many people will come, but we need to prepare for more to avoid being caught off guard.
Everyone was busy with their own things, and before we knew it, it was the weekend.
On this day, Li Xiyue and her family were invited by Chen Qinghe to visit his home.
Li Xiyue had just gotten up and was picking out clothes after washing up when Zhuang Le, standing by the door, called out, "Little sister."
