Chapter 208 - 208

Chapter 208 Discussing the MarriageA lot has happened in the village in recent years.Xu Guifang has gone mad. She has been acting strangely ever since her son, Li Baojun, was arrested and sent to a labor camp.Grandma Yao's son, Xiao Jun's father, has returned. The reason he hadn't returned for so many years, and why there was no news or allowance, was that he had gone on an undercover mission, and the allowance had been tampered with.When he returned, I asked him about it and found out that he had immediately contacted the military to explain the situation and demand a thorough investigation.The leaders also take this matter very seriously. After all, the families of soldiers who go out to fight for the country should be taken good care of. Unexpectedly, someone has sabotaged their work. If this is not dealt with seriously, wouldn't it break the hearts of the soldiers?In short, the military has fully reimbursed him for all the allowances and compensation he received over the years. As for what will happen to the people who were found out, that remains to be seen." Grandma Yao should finally be able to reap the rewards of her hard work...""Who can argue with that? The lives of this grandmother and granddaughter have improved quite a bit. Aunt Yao has something to look forward to, and she's even more energetic now than she was a few years ago," Aunt Meihuaexclaimed.All the educated youth, whether they passed the exam or not, returned to the city."Oh right, do you remember Lin Xue? She ran away first, leaving her daughter with He Junjun. That little girl was so thin! It was so pitiful. It was such a tragedy. He Junjun took Child back to the city, and we don't know what happened after that.""Didn't they get a marriage certificate? How could they run away like this? Don't they need the brigade's approval to go back to the city?""Who knows what happened to her? Anyway, she didn't come looking for your uncle; she just suddenly ran away."Caiyun was very happy about Yun Ting's arrival, but unfortunately, Yun Ting only stayed for two days before leaving."I don't know when we'll see each other again after this parting. I'll miss you so much.""You can find me at Capital City! I can show you around Capital City while I'm there.""I'll definitely go if I have the chance."On the morning of their departure, the Brigade Leader had the team's tractor take them to town, where they would then have to transfer to the train station.Li Xiu has made up her mind and decided to go to Capital City with Yun Ting.Aunt Liu held Yun Ting's hand, her words of gratitude seemingly endless, but Yun Tinginterrupted her, saying, " Aunt Liu, if you keep talking, we'll miss our train.""Oh dear, look at me, I've become so long-winded as I get old."" Aunt Liu, if I weren't in such a rush, I would be very happy to chat with you."...It took several more days by train to get back toCapital City.Mother Yun absolutely did not want to ride in the car again."No, I won't go anywhere you ask me to go anymore. I'm too scared of taking the bus.""Mom, aren't you going to take care of Second Sister-in-law during her postpartum period?""Of course I'll go, this is no small matter."Tie Zhu also got into the university in Capital City as he wished, and he applied for the physics department.Yun Ting went back to pick up Father Yun beforeMother Yun originally intended to bring him along, but the acceptance letter hadn't arrived yet.He had only been in Capital City for a short time when he returned this time.His father and stepmother changed their attitude completely after they found out he got into university; they became very attentive to him.However, he simply doesn't want to bother with it. He will do his basic duty to his father in the future, and there's no need to think about anything else."Tiezhu, how did it go? Did you pass the exam?""Auntie, I also got into Peking University. I just arrived a few days ago. My sister told me to take my clothes and set up a stall to earn money before the semester starts."Meanwhile, Cai Mei was also talking to Yun Tingabout this, " Younger female cousin, I went to the clothing factory on my own to get some goods from Qingqing for Tiezhu to set up a stall. You won't blame me, will you?"She was a little uneasy. She just wanted her younger brother to earn some money, but after thinking about it, she realized that it wasn't right to make the decision on her own without consulting her younger female cousin. That's why she told Yun Ting about it as soon as she got back."Why would I blame you? This is a good thing! It'll give Tiezhu some training and he can even earn some money."...That evening, Duan Xingye came over."Uncle and Aunt, my parents know you're inCapital City and asked me to tell you that they'd like to arrange a meal for both our families.""Sure, you can arrange it as you see fit!"Once Duan Xingye received confirmation, he immediately went back to tell his parents. Cao Jiali, who had been waiting for this, made the arrangements right away.Cao Jiali arranged for them to stay at a restaurant that had recently opened after China's reform and opening up.When the two sides met, they naturally exchanged pleasantries first."Oh dear! I call you In-laws' mother. Our family really likes Ting Ting's child. Our boy is a few years older than Ting Ting, but don't worry, he will definitely treat Ting Ting well, otherwise his father and I will not let him off the hook."" Little Sister, what are you saying? HoshinoChild is also very outstanding and well-mannered. I was worried that our daughter would be spoiled by him and become willful and bully him!""Haha... It's okay, as long as they're happy."The two mothers chatted the whole time. Duan Yuan was relatively quiet and only exchanged a few polite words with Father Yun." In-laws, our family gave Xiaoyun a dowry of 999, and also prepared a courtyard house for them. If they don't want to go back to live there, they can live there on their own. Xingye already owns a traditional courtyard residence. Anyway, we won't interfere too much with their lives in the future. There are also gold and silver jewelry and a three-turn-one-ring (a traditional Chinese house with a watch, a radio, and a watch)."We'll keep whatever amount she gets. As parents, all we want is for our children to be happy; nothing else is that important.""We've had a few auspicious dates picked out. Which one would you like to choose? One is in two weeks, another is National Day, and the last one is New Year's Day."Duan Xingye glanced at Yun Ting, naturally wanting her to choose a date in half a month. If it was New Year's Day, it would be about half a year later, and he didn't want to wait that long."Let's go back and discuss this!""Of course."This meeting between the two families has settled things, except for the date, which still needs further discussion."I'm so happy today. Sister Tao, how about we go out shopping and chat sometime when you have time?" Cao Jiali said happily.After today's meal, the two now call each other sisters."Of course! Come visit me whenever you have time. I'm pretty good at cooking.""Haha, Sister Tao, I'll definitely try your cooking another day."Duan Xingye drove Father Yun Mother Yun andYun Ting escorted her back together."Go to my older brother's place, my parents live there now.""Hoshino, thank you for your help. You can go out with Xiao Si or see a movie later. You don't need to come with us.""Uncle and Aunt, it's no trouble at all. It's what I should do."Mother Yun smiled broadly; now it's like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and the more she looks, the more satisfied she becomes....When they were alone together, Duan Xingyestarted looking pitiful again, "Xiaoyun, could we choose a day that's closer to home?""You're playing the victim again.""Can you feel my sincerity? I really want to marry you and be with you forever. I've been waiting for this day for a long time, so, can you have pity on me?"
