Chapter 357 Spring Comes
Although Lin Yan said that she was thinking about how to tell Aunt Gao's family about this matter, Song Yuanchao knew in his heart that the matter was basically settled.
When they visited Aunt Gao, she would always talk to them about her past experiences at the Lin family. Her words were filled with memories and emotions about when she worked at the Lin family, as well as the feelings hidden in her heart.
From this point of view, returning to the Lin family is a wish in Aunt Gao's heart, and now coming here and being with Lin Yan is equivalent to fulfilling this wish.
As for Wang Dazhui and his wife, they are a simple couple . They are ordinary people. Unlike Zhang Jianguo and his wife, they have a low level of education and just want to earn money by their own labor and live a down-to-earth life.
If they were given an opportunity to make money like Zhang Jianguo and his wife did, it would probably not work out given Wang Dazhui and his wife's personalities, as they simply don't have the idea or ability to go into business. The differences in education, personality and vision make them ordinary people, but ordinary people also have their down-to-earth side. So giving them such a job is actually a good thing for Wang Dazhui and his wife.
After talking about this for a while, Song Yuanchao took a short break and calmed down. He then talked to Lin Yan about the upcoming wedding arrangements.
He and Lin Yan have already got their marriage certificate. Just like Lin Yuhang and Luo Lin, he and Lin Yan are now real husband and wife. Although they haven't held a ceremony, they are legally a couple.
When he and Lin Yan went to get their marriage certificate a few days ago, Song Yuanchao thought he would be very excited because this was what he had always dreamed of. But unexpectedly, Song Yuanchao was not too excited that day. He only felt emotional and sweet. When he handed over their introduction letters and certificates at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Song Yuanchao even felt a little nervous. But when he held the marriage certificate with a big red seal in his hand, which looked like a certificate of honor, Song Yuanchao felt like he was in a dream.
After a long while, Song Yuanchao couldn't help laughing. He quickly took out the wedding candies and cigarettes he had prepared from his pocket to express his gratitude to the comrades who helped them with the formalities. Then he took Lin Yan's hand with a smile, and looking at her blushing face, Song Yuanchao felt as sweet as if he had drunk honey water.
That night, Song Yuanchao lay alone in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Scenes from his past life flashed through his mind like a movie. He didn't dare close his eyes, for fear that as soon as he closed his eyes and opened them again, everything would disappear like bubbles.
It was not until the early hours of the morning that Song Yuanchao, who could no longer bear the sleep, fell into a deep sleep. However, he woke up suddenly not long after falling asleep, jumped up from the pit and rushed directly to the cabinet not far away. He opened the drawer and saw the marriage certificate lying quietly in the drawer. Song Yuanchao breathed a sigh of relief and was completely relieved.
Song Yuanchao no longer has any family, and the only relatives in Shanghai are Zhang's mother and her family. However, considering the long distance and Zhang's mother's old age, Zhang's mother and her family will not come to Yanjing for their wedding this time. But as early as the summer, Song Yuanchao promised Zhang's mother and her family that after the wedding, he and Lin Yan would go back to Shanghai to make up for the ceremony in Shanghai. At that time, not only Zhang's mother, but also Li Daqi's parents, Director Ma, Principal Zhou, Zhang Yong and others would have a lively meal together.
The wedding will be held in Yanjing. In addition to the Lin and Luo families, there will be some friends in Yanjing. The ceremony will be basically the same as that held by Lin Yuhang and his family more than a month ago. The banquet will still be held here. Everything will be done according to the last arrangement.
"Brother, can you come back this time?" Song Yuanchao asked.
Lin Jianhang was unable to come back when Lin Yuhang got married because the war in the southwest was still going on. Although Lin Jianhang's troops had withdrawn from the front line, as a member of the field army commander, it was still not suitable for Lin Jianhang to leave the army at this special time. So no one could say for sure whether Lin Jianhang could come back to attend their wedding this time.
"I don't know. He called home a few days ago and said that there are a lot of new recruits in the army and the training tasks are heavy, but he will try his best to find time to come back. I'm not sure if he can catch up with us to get married." Lin Yan sighed.
She and Lin Jianhang haven't seen each other for several years. She missed her elder brother very much, but due to her military post, Lin Jianhang could not decide many things on his own. Maybe one day an order would come down and the troops would set out as soon as they were told.
"I heard that big brother is going to be promoted again?" Song Yuanchao asked.
"There is such a saying, but the details are not very clear."
Lin Jianhang was originally the commander of the main regiment of the field army. He made great contributions on the southwest front. It is normal for him to continue to be promoted based on his qualifications and military achievements. Moreover, the troops of various military regions are now undergoing adjustments due to the outbreak and continuation of the war.
If he could be promoted from regimental commander to brigade commander, deputy division commander, or division chief of staff, it would be a step forward for Lin Jianhang's career in the military. As a professional soldier, it would be great for his future. But when Song Yuanchao thought of Lin Jianhang's personal problems, he couldn't help but shake his head. Chen Yuqin had talked about this countless times. Now his brothers and sisters were married, but Lin Jianhang, the eldest brother, was still single.
"Let me tell you something. Big brother actually already has a girlfriend." Lin Yan suddenly said to Song Yuanchao mysteriously.
Song Yuanchao was stunned, and instantly became curious. He quickly asked Lin Jianhang when he had a girlfriend and how come he didn't know?
After listening to Lin Yan's explanation, Song Yuanchao finally understood what was going on. It turned out that the military district chief had paid special attention to Lin Jianhang's personal problems some time ago. As a regimental officer who was about to be promoted, it was inappropriate for his personal problems not to be resolved.
For this reason, the chief specially called Lin Jianhang to inquire about the matter. At that time, Lin Jianhang used the excuse of "How can I have a family when the Huns are not yet destroyed" to refuse, but was severely criticized by the chief.
The leader said, family comes first and country comes second. It is often said that there is no family without country, but it is also the same. Without family, where is the country? If everyone thinks the same as Lin Jianhang, will they have descendants? What is the meaning of all the sacrifices and dedications now?
As a soldier, he cannot only know how to train and fight, but also has to learn how to live, how to establish his own family and shoulder the inherent responsibilities as a man. Therefore, the leader asked Lin Jianhang to solve his personal problems as soon as possible.
Lin Jianhang complained in his heart about the chief's request. Can a single man's personal problem be solved just by saying so? Besides, the barracks are full of men. Where can he find the right person to solve this problem? Isn't this embarrassing for him?
Hearing such an answer, the leader who had been prepared laughed on the spot, took out a photo and showed it to Lin Jianhang, telling Lin Jianhang that the woman in the photo was a female doctor in the military hospital, and also the chief physician of the department. She had superb medical skills and a high academic degree. Although she was a little older, she had never been in a relationship. Moreover, Lin Jianhang was not young either, two years older than this woman, so the two of them were a perfect match.
If Lin Jianhang has no objection, the organization will help them connect and arrange for the two of them to meet and have a chat. If both parties have a good impression of each other, then this matter will be a natural outcome. Wouldn't this solve the personal problem ?
After hearing what the chief said, Lin Jianhang couldn't refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and agree to it. Originally, Lin Jianhang didn't agree to it, he just agreed to it first because he didn't know what the other person looked like, and he couldn't tell a person's temperament and personality from just a photo.
Anyway, just have a meeting as arranged by the organization. After the meeting, just tell the leader that it is not appropriate and that's it. When this matter is over, Lin Jianhang can do whatever he needs to do as before.
But Lin Jianhang never expected that the other party actually thought the same way. The female comrade didn't have much idea about solving personal problems, but just took it as a task because of the leader's concern. In this way, the two met for the first time with a routine mentality and didn't take this contact seriously at all.
But what they never expected was that it was this mentality that made the two of them not conceal their respective personalities and ideas when they came into contact with each other, but instead found common topics during the conversation. As the topic deepened, the two of them chatted more and more speculatively, and even forgot the reason for their meeting today. It was not until they parted that they suddenly remembered the purpose of their meeting today, and it seemed a little awkward for a moment.
By chance, the two sides developed a liking for each other and gradually began to get in touch with each other. As time went by, their feelings for each other gradually deepened and the matter was settled.
After listening to Lin Yan's story, Song Yuanchao couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't expect that my elder brother and his future elder sister-in-law would know each other in this way. It seems that this is really fate!"
"Yes, nothing can stop fate. I heard that they have started talking about marriage, and my eldest brother and his wife have already filed their marriage report. If it's fast, they will have the wedding after the Chinese New Year. Unfortunately, they can't come back to do it, so they can only do it in the army."
"That's okay. If it's convenient for us, we can just go there. It should be okay for us to attend the wedding as representatives of the man's family, right?"
"I can't make the decision on this. You have to ask big brother. The army is different from the local area. The rules are very strict." Lin Yan gave Song Yuanchao a look, meaning that you should not do whatever you want. Let alone Song Yuanchao, even if Lin Daoyuan wants to leave, he will probably have to get the consent of the army. After all, it is a field army, not an ordinary army. It is impossible to go there whenever you want.
After chatting and laughing for a while, the topic turned to Lin Yuhang.
Lin Yuhang and Luo Lin have been married for almost two months. Chen Yuqin has been looking forward to having a grandson these days. She would inadvertently look at Luo Lin's belly every day and prepare delicious food for her daughter-in-law every few days.
Lin Yan even laughed at Chen Yuqin for this, but her mother glared at her and said, "Don't just sit there and watch the fire, get ready early, because it will be your turn next."
After Lin Yan and Song Yuanchao get married on New Year's Day, they will have a child as soon as possible. No matter whether it is an eldest grandson or a great-grandson, as long as one comes out first, it will be enough to fulfill her wish.
Facing her mother's words, Lin Yan felt embarrassed and angry. She stomped her feet and turned away. How could her mother say such things to her daughter? If this got out, wouldn't people laugh at her?
