Chapter 202 - 202

Chapter 202 Meeting in LawsYun Huai was worried that his mother would get carsick, so he drove slowly and steadily, which made Mother Yun much more comfortable."Mom and Dad, I've been assigned a house in the Family Compound. You can stay there for the next few days. You don't need to go to the guesthouse. We'll go back to the Family Compound later. My aunt and uncle have prepared lunch and asked me to take you there for a meal so we can meet up.""Sure! We should meet."Fortunately, they had considered this beforehand and bought a lot of gifts, otherwise it would have been very impolite to visit them.It usually takes a little over an hour to get there, but because I was taking care of my mother, who gets carsick, it took about two hours.When the car arrived at Family Compound, many people looked around curiously."Whose family has come here? And they're driving military vehicles.""You don't know him? It's Deputy Battalion Commander Yun! He's having a wedding banquet at the army canteen the day after tomorrow! I guess his family is coming over.""Oh? So you're going to marry that division commander's precious daughter?""That's right. So many people were eyeing him, but they still couldn't beat that kid. But he is indeed outstanding and handsome.""Pshaw, who knows if it's genuine talent or some other reason?"Some people are envious, some say nice things, and of course, some say sour things.But none of this affected Yun Huai. He had already anticipated this; if he couldn't accept these rumors, he might as well quit the business."Let's go take a look and see what Deputy Battalion Commander Yun's parents look like and what they brought with them."A few nosy people followed along.When the group arrived, they only saw the backs of a group of people entering the courtyard."Oh dear, I'm late."When Yun Huai saw the group approaching, she knew why they had come, but she still asked, "What brings you here, ladies?""Oh, it's nothing. I just heard your family came over and I was wondering if you needed any help?""Thank you, sisters-in-law, but no need for that for now. We'll be having our wedding banquet in the cafeteria the day after tomorrow, so please remember to come!"Of course, this was just a polite remark. He didn't invite everyone from the entire military region. They didn't want to make it too high-profile, so they only invited their close comrades and leaders."Okay, then congratulations in advance. We won't bother you any longer, we'll head back now."The military wives looked embarrassed and quickly left.The house that my second brother was allocated had two rooms, a main room and a small kitchen. It was quite comfortable with its own courtyard. The rooms all had heated brick beds (kang). Now that it was summer, the kang was very large. It was spacious enough for the four adults and thelittle girl to sleep on one kang. They just needed to pull a curtain between them.Yun Ting and her mother slept on one side with their little girl, while her father and younger brother slept on the other side.Originally, Yun Huai and Li Man suggested thatFather Yun and her younger brother stay in their room temporarily, since she wouldn't be staying there for the time being.But Mother Yun said no, this is their new house, it's not like there aren't enough rooms here.The young couple had no choice but to say nothing more.Yun Huai told them to rest for a while, while he went to return the car. This car wasn't something to be used casually; the military had made things convenient for them, so they couldn't just take it for granted." Man, Auntie made two outfits for you and two outfits for Intimate Reference to Yun Huai. I don't know if you like them."Mother Yun took out the clothes she had made for them and gave them to Li Man.Li Man accepted it with delight, saying, "Thank you, Auntie, I really like it.""Haha...you little rascal, you haven't even opened it yet and you're already saying you like it."One was a light pink polyester shirt: the collar was sewn with a thin white trim, the cuffs were neatly gathered, and there were no elaborate embroidery patterns on the blouse, only a small pink pom-pom next to the buttonhole, which made the fabric even softer.The second item is a floral print shirt, light green with small blue flowers, cut into a loose-fitting jacket style, with a slightly tapered hem."Hehe, I think this color is beautiful. Besides, I heard from Intimate Reference to Yun Huai that Auntie's sewing skills are very good.""Don't listen to that kid's nonsense. He used tohave a lot of children at home, so he had to train them."Once Yun Huai returns the car, it will be about time to go over. We can't go right at mealtimes, can we?The group took the prepared gifts and went outside.Their Family Compound isn't far from Division Commander Jiang's place; it's about a ten-minute walk.The family, carrying gifts, attracted the attention of many Family Compound members along the way.There are still many people cooking at home right now, otherwise, they would probably be surrounded by even more onlookers." Deputy Battalion Commander Yun, are these your parents?" a bold woman asked."Yes, sister-in-law," Yun Huai replied, without saying anything more.Father Yun Mother Yun smiled and nodded at them.After everyone had gone some distance, they started talking about it." Deputy Battalion Commander Yun's parents are quite good-looking, no wonder they could have such a handsome son!""Hey, did you guys see that? Those two young guys next to them are pretty too! They must beDeputy Battalion Commander Yun's siblings! They look a bit alike.""I wonder if they have partners?""What are you thinking? What if they're a couple? Didn't you see they're holding a little girl's hand?""Is it possible? They look like siblings..."Unaware of the ensuing discussion, they had already arrived at the doorstep of Division Commander Jiang.The men were dressed in neat military uniforms, and the women were wearing blue cloth blouses.Upon seeing them arrive, he quickly greeted them with a smile: " In-laws...it's finally time to meet you, please come in."Both sides greeted each other.Father Yun Mother Yun was surprised that someone would come out and wait for them at the door, which made them feel flattered, after all, that person was their teacher!To their surprise, the other party was not at all pretentious, which put them at ease.Father Yun quickly handed the net bag forward, his voice polite: "Brother, sister-in-law, thank you for waiting. I brought back some cheap stufffrom Capital City, please don't mind."The mesh bag contained two cans of Capital Brand Malted Milk Extract, with the Gate of Heavenly Peace logo printed on them, and a bag of Beijing-style braised pork bought from the Xidan Market, wrapped in three layers of oil paper and then covered with plastic to prevent leakage."Brother, don't say that. Things from Beijing are all rare items! Actually, it's good that you've come.""That won't do. Although I don't have any valuable gifts, I can't come empty-handed."Mother Yun then handed the two bolts of cloth she had prepared to Li Man's aunt, saying, "Aunt, these two bolts of cloth are quite nice. I wonder if you would like them?"Yun Xu also had a net bag in his hand, which contained eight delicacies of the capital and canned fruit."Oh, you're so kind. You're all too polite. I don't know what to say."Once inside, Li Man quickly went to help pour tea, and Yun Huai followed to help as well.Division Commander Jiang noticed this and mentally gave Yun Huai even more credit.Wei Hua was secretly observing Father Yun.Mother Yun checked to see if they were unhappy, and finding nothing amiss, she was relieved. It seemed the in-laws were reasonable people.What she didn't know was that Father YunMother Yun found this behavior perfectly normal; if their son were sitting here acting like a big shot, they would scold him!"Is this young man the younger brother of Yun Huai, the one you intimately refer to? How about it? Young man, are you interested in joining the army?" Division Commander Jiangcouldn't resist asking when he saw a promising young man."Hehe, Uncle, my ambitions lie elsewhere."Wei Hua chuckled and scolded, "You couldn't resist seeing such a nice young man, could you?""Ha ha…""Brother, my youngest son is from Capital City.""Just graduated from the Public Security College.""Oh? You like being a police officer?"
