Ning Yu was so excited when she heard the news that she exclaimed into the phone, "It's true!"

Si Lu quickly put the phone away and said, "Of course it's true. How could I lie to you about something this serious?"

Ning Yu was happy and excited, "Lao Si, Lao Si, please come down quickly. Our son has made it big. He and Yanyan have obtained their marriage certificate."

The old man was not at home, and Ning Yu shouted loudly, which directly alarmed the father and daughter upstairs.

"My father is Lao Si. I've told you so many times, but you just can't remember."

"Mom, is it my brother and sister-in-law calling?"

Ning Yu nodded.

Si Guangming strode over and took the phone from her hand, "I'm Si Guangming." He said in a businesslike tone.

"dad."

"Well, I've heard from your mother. Congratulations, you're about to start a new stage in your life. Son, after you get married, you will be Yanyan's husband. This is your new identity. As a man, you must be tolerant and considerate of your wife, and you must be responsible. In life, you must take care of her, and in study, you must..."

Before he finished speaking, Ning Yu snatched the receiver away again, "Son, your dad always talks like this, as if he were giving a report. Don't pay attention to him. Tell mom what's going on over there. Is Yanyan by your side?"

"She's not here." Si Lu only said, "We went to the mall to buy a lot of things during the day. She was a little tired, so I sent her to the guesthouse. Mom, she was shy and didn't know how to address her when answering the phone, so we sent a telegram..."

Si Lu usually doesn't talk much, but during this call, he talked about a lot of things, "My marriage report has been approved a long time ago, and the house has also been approved. Now I just need a ceremony, and the betrothal gift..."

Ning Yu said, "Don't worry, your father and I have discussed this matter before, and we have made preparations at home. It's just that it's not convenient to transport some large items, so we can just leave them at home for the time being. We must not be negligent in etiquette."

She spoke cryptically, but Si Lu understood.

There are many old items at home, and it is difficult to take them out now, so I can only give them to them secretly.

"Yes, I know."

Ning Yu said, "Son, what do you want to do with the wedding? When will it be held?"

"Under the current circumstances, it's not realistic for us to go back to Beijing. What I mean is, let Yanyan get married at her uncle's house, and send her dowry there. Then I'll go to pick her up, hold a simple ceremony in the family compound, and invite my comrades in the army to have a meal."

"Very good." Although Ning Yu felt a little regretful, she also understood that it was a special period and her son was a soldier and did not have much time to run back and forth.

"Brother, brother." Si Zhen leaned over and said to Si Lu, "When are you going to have your wedding? I want to go."

"Don't be ridiculous."

Ning Yu pushed her aside and whispered to Si Lu, "Son, Yanyan has had a hard time. Since you married her, you must fulfill your responsibilities as a husband and not bully her. Even though you are my son, if you dare to do anything to hurt Yanyan, don't blame me for punishing you."

"Okay, I understand."

The mother and son discussed the marriage on the phone, and finally decided to let Jiang Yan and Si Lu discuss the date. Once the date is set, they will tell them in advance and they will go there at that time.

After hanging up the phone, Ning Yu glanced at Si Guangming and said, "My son's wedding is such a big event, you don't want to show up, do you?"

The old man always avoided suspicion, saying that Si Lu must not be allowed to take advantage of him in the army, and rarely mentioned his son in public. Even in the army, the father and son tried not to appear in the same frame.

It would be fine under normal circumstances, but if he still wanted to avoid suspicion when his son got married, Ning Yu would be furious with him.

"No, how could I not attend such an important event? It would be disrespectful to Xiao Jiang."

"That's pretty much it."

Si Zhen also said: "That's great, I finally have a companion. Mom, when my sister-in-law marries into our family, let her also work in our company, so that we can go to work and go home together."

Just thinking about it makes me so happy!

"Are you dreaming? Your sister-in-law is going to join the army and live with your brother in Tianning."

"what?"

"It's your brother who's getting married, not you." Ning Yu said disdainfully, "Otherwise, you should quickly find yourself a husband and get married."

Si Zhen didn't dare to say anything and went upstairs in a depressed mood. In the end, she had to bear everything in this family alone.

After Si Zhen went upstairs, Ning Yu discussed the issue of the bride price with Si Guangming.

"We can't openly take out the things at home, so let's just give the children two big red envelopes. Having money in hand will make them feel less anxious. Yanyan is young, so keeping more money with her will make her feel more confident."

Si Guangming agreed.

"My son said that they bought a lot of daily necessities there. We couldn't take care of the large furniture, so we just converted it into cash and gave it to them. I want to buy a watch for Yanyan, a good one, imported."

The Friendship Store has the most complete range of items, and she has saved up so many foreign guest coupons that she can use them all this time.

"You should arrange these things. I am a grown man and I don't understand them."

"Okay, I see."

Si Guangming went to work, while Ning Yu took out a pen and paper and wrote down everything she wanted to buy, making a list to avoid missing anything.

"Watches, imported ones."

"Girls all love beauty, why not buy some cosmetics?" The Friendship Store has the most complete range of products, and many people have never heard of anything, but they can all be found there.

"You need to buy some fine fabrics and ready-made clothes as well."

The more Ning Yu wrote, the happier she became. It didn't feel like she was buying a gift for her daughter-in-law, but rather like she was preparing a dowry for a beautiful woman.

As he was writing, a jeep stopped in front of the gate of the Si family courtyard. The old man got out of the car and entered the courtyard accompanied by a guard.

Ning Yu hurried over, "Dad, you're back?" Ever since Si Qianjin's health improved, he returned to work. None of the members of the top leadership team have an easy job, and it is common for them to be busy until late at night every day.

But the old man didn't look very good, as if something big had happened.

"What's wrong?" Ning Yu knew that the old man wouldn't tell her even if there was something wrong, so she could only look at the guard who was accompanying him.

The guard shook his head, he didn't know either.

"Dad, let me get you a basin of water to wash your feet. Soak your feet."

"Auntie, I'll go."

"Xiao Lu, you've been working all day, go back and have a rest."

Lu Bao quickly said, "Yes!" After saluting, he left the Lu family.

"Dad, what's wrong?" After Lu Bao left, Si Guangming also came down from the second floor. What happened?

"The old leader's health is getting worse." Si Qianjin said helplessly: "He has difficulty walking now. It makes me sad to see him like this."
