Forced to go to the countryside, the arrogant young lady got married and became a military wife

When we came out of the photo studio, it was almost noon.

The young couple went to a state-owned restaurant for dinner. To celebrate their marriage, Shi Qingqian ordered five main dishes, one vegetarian dish, and an egg drop soup.

Xu Huaian was shocked: "Qianqian, we can't eat so much."

"Didn't Aunt ask us to go to school to see your sister? She should have just finished class when we go there after we finish eating. As a brother, you can't just eat your fill and ignore your sister," said Shi Qingqian.

Xu Huaian suddenly realized, no wonder he was asked to bring a lunch box with him before going out, so this was what he meant.

After a while, the dishes were served one after another. Xu Huaian filled the lunch box first, and then they began to eat.

After Xu Huaian and Shi Qingqian finished their meal, they took their lunch boxes filled with vegetables and walked towards the People's Commune Middle School.

When they arrived at the school gate, they explained their purpose to the guard and then waited patiently for Xu Rong to finish class.

As the bell rang, students rushed out.

Xu Huaian and Shi Qingqian were looking for Xu Rong in the crowd.

"What grade is your sister in?"

Xu Huaian smiled awkwardly: "I... don't know."

Shi Qingqian glanced at Xu Huaian helplessly: "You are a very good brother."

This cannot be blamed on Xu Huaian. He doesn't come back often. Every time he came back last year and the year before, he ran into his younger sister studying at school. In fact, the two siblings haven't seen each other for several years.

"Then you should remember your sister's name."

"Of course I remember that."

Shi Qingqian pulled Xu Huaian upstairs, and soon a voice came from the radio.

"Xu Rong, Xu Rong, your third brother is here to bring you food. Please go to the classroom office on the third floor as soon as possible. Please go to the classroom office on the third floor as soon as possible."

……

A group of girls just arrived at the cafeteria when they heard the announcement.

A girl nudged the person next to her and said, "Rongrong, it seems like your name is being called on the radio."

Xu Rong shook his head without hesitation: "Impossible, my third brother is in the army and rarely comes back, let alone bringing me food."

"Why don't you go and take a look? What if it is him? Didn't you say before that you haven't seen him for several years?"

"Yeah, go ahead. If you don't come back later, we'll get your lunch box for you."

Xu Rong hesitated for a moment, but was finally persuaded.

After a while, Xu Rong hurried up to the third floor, her two long braids swinging back and forth. When she saw Xu Huaian, her eyes sparkled.

"Third brother!" Xu Rong ran over excitedly.

Xu Huaian showed a doting smile and touched Xu Rong's head: "Why are you running so fast?"

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Third Brother. When I heard the broadcast just now, I thought I had misheard it." Xu Rong jumped for joy. Suddenly, his eyes turned to Shi Qingqian and he asked curiously, "Third Brother, who is this beautiful sister?"

Xu Huaian looked at Shi Qingqian tenderly and introduced her, "Rongrong, this is your sister-in-law. We got our marriage certificate today, and we came to see you specially."

"Hello, sister-in-law," Xu Rong's eyes lit up instantly. After calling out obediently, he leaned close to Xu Huaian and whispered, "Third brother, someone finally wants you."

When Xu Huaian heard Xu Rong's words, he gently tapped her head and said, "What are you talking about, little brat?"

Xu Rong stuck out his tongue playfully.

Shi Qingqian watched the interaction between the brother and sister and smiled gently.

Xu Huaian handed her the lunch box: "This is the lunch your sister-in-law prepared specially for you. Go and eat it. We will go back first."

Xu Rong took the lunch box, his heart filled with emotion: "Thank you, Third Brother, thank you, Sister-in-law."

"Your sister-in-law and I are having a party at home the day after tomorrow. Do you want to come back? If you do, I'll have my eldest brother pick you up."

Xu Rong's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "I'm coming back! Third brother, I will definitely come back." She hugged the lunch box tightly, as if holding a precious gift.

Xu Huaian smiled and nodded, "Okay, then you should study hard in school, and we will have some fun together the day after tomorrow."

Shi Qingqian also looked at Xu Rong gently: "Rongrong, sister-in-law will prepare delicious food for you when the time comes."

Xu Rong laughed happily, "Yeah, sister-in-law is really the best."

After saying that, Xu Rong ran away happily.

When they returned to the cafeteria, Xu Rong's sisters saw her holding a lunch box and knew that it was really her third brother who had come.

……

Xu Huaian and Shi Qingqian returned home hand in hand. As soon as they stepped into the yard, they saw Xu's father and mother sitting in the main room, seemingly discussing something.

"Dad, Mom, we're back," Xu Huaian said loudly.

Shi Qingqian also followed suit and called out, "Dad, Mom."

When Mr. and Mrs. Xu saw them, they smiled with relief.

Xu Huaian took out his marriage certificate and handed it to his parents, "Dad, Mom, we got the certificate today."

Father Xu took the marriage certificate and looked at it carefully, his eyes full of joy. Mother Xu was even more smiling from ear to ear, "Great, great, that's great."

They were just feeling happy when Xu Huaian mentioned the wedding banquet the day after tomorrow. Father Xu immediately nodded and said, "This is a big happy event. We have to do it well. It's just that time is a bit tight."

The reason they decided to hold the wedding the day after tomorrow was because Xu Huaian's vacation would be over the day after tomorrow and he would have to leave for the army early in the morning, so the wedding had to be held before he left.

"Qianqian, come in with your mother," Zhang Lanxiang pulled Shi Qingqian into the room and took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from under the pillow. "Here are 500 yuan. This is our betrothal gift to you."

Shi Qingqian looked at the handkerchief bag in Zhang Lanxiang's hand and felt warm in her heart.

She quickly declined, "Mother, I can't accept this betrothal gift. You and Father should keep it for yourselves."

Zhang Lanxiang, however, insisted on stuffing the handkerchief bag into Shi Qingqian's hands: "Child, this is a gift from us, you must accept it."

"Mom knows this little money doesn't mean much to you, but it's also a token of your father and I's love. However, I'll still tell everyone that the betrothal gift is still 100 yuan to avoid conspicuous consumption."

Seeing that Zhang Lanxiang was sincere in her insistence, Shi Qingqian did not refuse anymore.

As long as the old couple are content to live with them in their old age, Shi Qingqian will definitely be filial to them and let them have a comfortable old age.

Zhang Lanxiang watched Shi Qingqian accept the money, smiled with satisfaction, took Shi Qingqian's hand and said some personal words.

……

In the yard, Xu Huaian and his father had already gone out to find someone to help with the banquet for the day after tomorrow.

First of all, you need to prepare enough meat, vegetables, rice and noodles. Everything else is easy, the most important thing is the meat.

Xu Huaian and his father went to find his second uncle Xu Wu, thinking of buying a pig raised in the village.

But the pigs in the village had to be handed in at the end of the year, and Xu Wu couldn't do it even if he wanted to agree.

Xu Huaian could only think of other ways - go up the mountain to hunt.

With a plan in mind, Xu Huaian went into the mountains that night.

The forest shrouded in night seemed particularly quiet. Xu Huaian, carrying hunting equipment on his back, moved carefully through it.

The moonlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, creating patches of mottled light and shadows on the ground. He walked very lightly, for fear of disturbing the wild animals in the forest.

Relying on the keen intuition developed over many years in the army, Xu Huaian carefully observed the movements around him.
