Ji Qinglan: "I am very grateful that you can come, elder sister."

"We are a family. It's unreasonable to talk about thanks or not." Xiao Qing smiled and patted her hands.

Then he pointed at the black box and said, "I came here in a hurry and didn't prepare anything for you. These are just temporary purchases. I hope you like them."

"Thank you, big sister." Ji Qinglan thanked her politely. This was already a good start.

"Our Ayi has been sullen since he was young. You should understand him more after we get married. If he does anything wrong, just tell me and I will teach him a lesson."

Her younger brother Xiao Yi has always been a thorn in her side. Her second brother died young, and her third brother joined the army and even decided to serve his country in this life and was unwilling to get married.

She thought of many ways to help Xiao Yi get married and start a family.

Until finally she gave up, because three years ago, this third brother who had no intention of getting married actually told her that he fell in love with a girl.

This made Xiao Qing so excited that she didn't sleep well for three days.

When Xiao Qing learned that Ji Qinglan was a divorced woman with children, she was shocked again.

What can she do when her bastard third brother either doesn't want to get married or prefers a second marriage?

Before she met Ji Qinglan, Xiao Qing was still worried. She only knew that she was Peng Guodong's niece and an orphan of a martyr, and she didn't know what her personality was like.

Now that she finally met the person, Xiao Qing felt relieved.

The door was pushed open again, and Xiao Yi brought out a basin of water and a new towel.

"Sister, wash up and take a rest first."

"Okay." Xiao Qing was indeed tired, so she went to bed after washing up.

Xiao Yi and Ji Qinglan tiptoed out of the door quietly. The yard outside was already bustling with noise, children were running around, and everyone was talking excitedly.

At the corridor leading to the main hall, Xiao Yi suddenly hugged Ji Qinglan into his arms.

"Qinglan, you look so beautiful today."

Ji Qinglan blushed and her heart started beating fast. She looked towards the main room door and was relieved when she saw that no one had come in.

"Let go quickly, be careful not to be seen by others." Ji Qinglan reminded in a low voice.

"Well, just give me a hug. I didn't expect my elder sister would come. I'm very happy that she is here." Xiao Yi said in a low voice.

Ji Qinglan: "Of course, my elder sister is very satisfied with me."

"Of course, my taste is impeccable, and I can't thank my elder sister enough for liking me."

Ji Qinglan chuckled: "You are good at bragging."

"No, you are so outstanding, I am lucky to marry you." Xiao Yi said in a low voice, avoiding people coming and going, and the two of them stayed in a corner.

Ji Qinglan found that since agreeing to stay unmarried, Xiao Yi had become more and more smooth-talking and pleasing to others.

Xiao Yi hugged her for a while and then let go, and the two of them walked into the main room together.

"Uncle Xiao, Mom, there are guests coming." Ji Xincheng and a few friends shouted.

From afar, I saw a group of people walking towards this side. There seemed to be more than ten people, men and women, adults and children, in a large and mighty group.

Yu Ting, whom Ji Qinglan knew, was among them. He was waving and winking at him. He was the most active person in the group.

Xiao Yi hurriedly took Ji Qinglan to greet them. On the way, Xiao Yi whispered to Ji Qinglan: "These are my leaders and comrades in the army and their families."

Soon, the two men came over. Xiao Yi stood straight and saluted the forty-year-old man in the lead: "Hello, Chief."

Sun Liheng immediately said, "Ayi, you are here again. Today is your big day. I am not your leader, but your Uncle Sun."

"Uncle Sun, Aunt Wu, thank you for coming today." Xiao Yi thanked them.

"You are finally single, and our army's long-standing problem has been solved. No matter how far away we are, we will come to your wedding to have a drink." Sun Liheng said happily, and it can be seen that he is an easy-going person.

He turned his gaze to Ji Qinglan again and praised loudly: "Comrade Ji, on behalf of our troops, I thank you for solving the problem of Xiao Yi."

As he spoke, Sun Liheng burst into laughter, causing a group of people behind him to laugh as well. Everyone was talking about Xiao Yi, who had a sullen face all day and scared away all the female comrades.

Ji Qinglan also laughed. It seemed that as Yu Ting said, Xiao Yi's title of "old bachelor" in the army was not false.

Xiao Yi introduced to Ji Qinglan that, except for Sun Liheng who was Xiao Yi's superior, the female comrade next to him was Sun's lover Wu Yongting, and the rest were Xiao Yi's comrades-in-arms or soldiers under his command.

They are all his brothers in life and death.

"Hello, sister-in-law!" A group of soldiers shouted, their voices reaching the sky. Ji Qinglan's face turned red and his heart was filled with anxiety.

Standing next to Sun Liwu, his lover Wu Yongting had already held Ji Qinglan's hand and said with a warm smile, "This is Comrade Ji, he is indeed handsome and pretty, no wonder our Xiao Xiao has been chasing after him.

Then he turned to everyone and said, "Our Xiao Xiao has good taste. Comrade Ji is good-looking. If he were to live in the family housing complex, he would definitely be the most beautiful girl in our building. No wonder he didn't like the girl we introduced to him. He must have been deliberately showing a cold face in the army to scare away the female comrades."

These words caused another round of laughter from the people behind him.

Even Xiao Yi couldn't resist such teasing, and Ji Qinglan had to keep smiling. Under Xiao Yi's introduction, he got to know everyone one by one and then led them into the house.

There were already five tables set up in the yard. Zhang Jianguo had taken great pains to find them. They were brand new and looked decent.

At this moment, melon seeds, peanuts, candies and snacks were already placed on the table.

Li Changlin and his friends were sitting around the table, chatting, drinking tea and eating snacks. When they saw so many people coming in, they quickly stood up to greet them.

These people were dressed simply and respectably, and one could tell at a glance that they were from the city.

Even though Li Changlin was wearing his most valuable clothes, he still felt inferior in front of these people and looked like a country bumpkin.

No, he was a country bumpkin too.

Li Changlin and Secretary Zhang helped to greet the distant guests, while after these people arrived, Mr. Li sat in a corner and stayed alone.

After them, more people came, all of whom were Xiao Yi's friends or comrades here, such as Manager Lu from the State-owned Hotel, with whom he had met several times, and Comrade Xiong An who worked at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Both of them came with their families, brought gifts, and congratulated each other repeatedly. When they saw the old leader of the army, they quickly ran over to salute and sat down with their comrades.

Director Luo came over on his bicycle at twelve o'clock, which made Li Miaofang look at him sideways and curse him in a low voice.

As a result, Li Miaofang's look was like a blind man. Director Luo saw Sun Liheng, who was sitting at the table chatting, and Manager Lu and Xiong An ran over and passed by Li Miaofang.

Looking at his enthusiastic look, if you don’t know, you might think that Director Luo is doing something good behind Li Miaofang’s back.

Yin Hong and three educated youth from the educated youth point also came over. The four of them brought gifts for Ji Qinglan. Yin Hong knitted a sweater for Ji Qinglan, another female educated youth made a pair of shoes for Ji Qinglan and Ji Xincheng respectively, and the other two male educated youth also received gifts.
