Yun Laohu looked at Fu Bowen. "Brother-in-law, if there's anything you want to ask, just ask!"
"Are you planning to stay at my house from now on? Will you come every night?"
Yun Jingting looked at him with an unusually serious attitude. She even sat up straight. "Your sister and I are legally married. Of course, we have to stay together!"
She turned to Mi Xaing 'er. "Go and get the marriage certificate!"
Mi Xaing 'er was a little reluctant. "What's going on? Why are you making a fuss so early in the morning?"
Yun Jingting frowned stubbornly. In order to strengthen her tone, she even knocked on the table. "Why don't you listen to what I say?"
That solemn and serious manner would definitely frighten others if they saw it.
Mi Xaing 'er was amused. "Of course I listen to what you say! Who are you? Do you think I dare to disobey the orders of the regiment commander?"
She turned around and left.
Not long after, the two marriage certificates were brought back. She placed them on the table and gently pushed them in front of Tang Xiling. Just like Yun Laohu, she glanced at her mother, but her words were directed at Fu Bowen. "Here, Little Six. Take a good look!"
Fu Bowen did not stand on ceremony. He picked up the marriage certificate and deliberately leaned toward Tang Xiling. He narrowed his eyes and read softly, "Yun Something Ting, male, 28 …"
Mi Xaing 'er was so angry that she laughed. She reached out and snatched the marriage certificate back. "You can't even recognize all the words. Why are you pretending to be an elephant in front of me?"
Fu Bowen was indignant. He straightened his neck and said, "Although I can't recognize all the words, I know how to behave. Brother-in-law, let me ask you a few questions!"
He stood up formally, tugged at his collar, and continued to speak like a little adult. "Firstly, although you and my sister are married, you didn't hold a wedding ceremony. You're always staying here. What will the villagers say about you? You're not sincere in doing this!"
Yun Jingting narrowed her eyes. "I understand. What's the second thing?"
"Secondly, you're married to my sister, but you didn't announce it to the public. Does your family know about her existence? Just because of this, I can't let you stay at home even if I want to fight for justice for my sister!"
Yun Jingting pursed her lips and nodded slightly. Her attitude was especially serious. "Yes, is there anything else?"
Fu Bowen scratched his forehead hard, as if he was thinking hard. Tang Xiling coughed softly, and Fu Bowen seemed to have been enlightened. "One last thing. When people get married, their family members will follow the army. Based on this, my sister can be transferred to the city and doesn't have to work in the fields anymore. Why are you not letting her follow the army and living in my house?"
When Mi Xaing 'er heard this, she knew in her heart that Tang Xiling must have taught him this. Otherwise, how could a ten-year-old child know what it means to follow the army?
Mi Xaing 'er couldn't stand her mother's aggressive "marriage", but she couldn't rebuke her directly. She could only look at Fu Bowen and say, "Little Sixth, I don't need you to fight for justice for me. No one can control how your brother-in-law and I want to live. Don't be so picky. I don't want to listen to you!"
When Yun Jingting heard this, her heart felt warm. She held Mi Xaing 'er's little hand under the table and squeezed it hard. She looked at her with a gratified gaze.
However, he also understood that there were some things that he needed to clarify.
He coughed softly and said in a loud voice, "Since we've talked about this, I have a few questions that I would like to clarify …"
“”
"Firstly, I didn't want to say too much about the reason why I didn't announce my marriage to the public. I was afraid that Mi Xaing 'er would be worried. I thought that there were some things that men could bear by themselves and that there was no need to bring home the troubles of the outside world. But since you asked, I have to make it clear that the organization has something against me for getting married without permission. I'm waiting for punishment. During this period, I have to keep a low profile. However, please don't worry.
Wait for punishment
Keep a low profile?
Then why did you come here with such great fanfare last night? "
Tang Xiling slowly looked up and tilted her head to look at him. There was a hint of emotion in her eyes.
Mi Xaing 'er was quick-witted and understood the other party's character. She heard the hidden meaning in his words and said, "Yun Jingting, don't be rash. I didn't ask you to settle it as soon as possible. It's not a big deal that you didn't announce your marriage to the public. Some things can be done slowly. There's no need for us to go against the organization and affect our own future …"
Heh!
She had already used the word "we" …
Yun Jingting looked at her gently. "Xiang 'er, to be honest, I already knew that you would think this way. If I didn't have confidence in your heart, I wouldn't have forced you to marry me …"
Mi Xaing 'er looked back at him, not knowing what to say.
Yun Jingting looked away and lowered his head slightly. "As for the second question, it's about my family. How should I put this? Every family has its own difficulties. I'm not very close to my father, and my mother is not by my side. In this chaotic world, everyone has their own difficulties. There are some things that are not worth mentioning. So, I originally didn't plan to involve Mi Xaing 'er in my family's troubles. But since you brought it up today, I will reconsider it …"
After saying this …
Tang Xiling lowered her head silently. She had experienced many difficulties in this chaotic world, and many of them were indeed difficult to explain in a few words.
Yun Laohu furrowed his brows. "Also, regarding the issue of following the army, it's very simple. The military has not approved marriage for the time being. I thought that even if the report of following the army was submitted, it would be like mud flowing into the sea, and there would be no results at all. But this is a long-term problem, and it can't be avoided. Not for other reasons, but in the future, Mi Xaing 'er and my children will have to go to school.
Ah …
Children going to school?
You're already thinking so far ahead …
Mi Xaing 'er lowered her head and did not interrupt. This soldier was not bragging. He usually looked cheerful, but when he was with her, he would touch and pinch her here and there. But when he really encountered a problem, he would speak frankly and with assurance. Every word he said was reasonable. It was obvious that he had thought it through carefully. He was indeed a man who came up with strategies.
The room fell silent for a moment.
No one spoke.
Fu Bowen blinked his big eyes. "You're done?"
Yun Laohu smiled. "You want to eat?"
She waved her hand decisively. "There's one last thing. Regarding the issue of where I'll be staying in the future, based on my situation and the military regulations, if a regimental cadre's house is near the base, after reporting the situation to their unit, there's no need for them to stay in the base every night. After all, there are so many company commanders and battalion commanders. So, I've thought about it. I'll be staying here.
It's settled.
Staying here?
Oh my god …
Her tone was too forceful.
After she finished speaking, Yun Jingting sat at the table and ate her porridge in big mouthfuls without looking up.
Fu Bowen ate his steamed bun without a care in the world.
The two women at the table glanced at Yun Laohu from the corner of their eyes. Their feelings were complicated. Needless to say.
Everyone was eating.
Suddenly, they heard someone knocking on the courtyard door.
Mi Xaing 'er was a little nervous. She quickly sat up straight and listened carefully. It was the village chief, Xu Dongsheng. "Xiang' er, Xiang 'er's mother is at home, right?"
She hurriedly agreed and ran to open the door.
Yun Laohu also stood up and stood outside the door to welcome him out of courtesy.
Xu Dongsheng entered the courtyard and looked at Mi Xaing 'er from head to toe. "I heard that the task force came to make a fuss last night. When I heard the news, I came over to take a look. Your house's lights were already switched off, so I didn't knock on the door as I was afraid of scaring you. But I saw Head Of Yun's Jeep at the entrance of the village. Knowing that he's at home, I felt more confident. Xiang' er, you're not hurt, right? Where's your mother?"
Mi Xaing 'er smiled. "None of us are hurt, Uncle. Did you come in and have some porridge after dinner?"
Yun Jingting said, "Yes, come in and have a seat. I have a few things to discuss with you."
"Okay."
Xu Dongsheng stepped into the room. He first went to Tang Xiling's side and looked at her steadily. When he was sure that everything was fine, he sighed and sat down on a chair at the side. "It seems like there's no time for rest today. It's either this or that matter that's giving me a headache. Did you know that Li Bubai was released?"
Ah
Yun Jingting frowned. "When did this happen?"
"I just saw it too. He and Zhao Qiuju were heading to Yu Hongyan's house." Xu Dongsheng was a little indignant. "That guy used to abuse Mi Xaing 'er so much in the past. He even beat her to death. Why didn't he get eight to ten years in prison? This is really unreasonable!"
Yun Laohu pursed her lips. "Don't say that. I think that there's justice in this world. It's not that there's no justice, it's just that it's not the time yet."
That unfathomable expression on his face was enough to make people shudder.
Tang Xiling suddenly interrupted. "What does that Li Bubai have to do with me, Xiang 'er?"
