Chapter 3 Marriage

Deng Hongbing was behind to greet the two soldiers who drove them back into the main hall to drink hot water. Deng Hongbing's parents and younger brother had already come back from the ground and heard the sound in the yard and came out quickly.

When Mr. Deng and his mother saw that their prospective daughter-in-law and son were back, they quickly asked, "How is it? How is the in-laws? When will they come back?"

Wanxia replied: "Uncle, aunt, my father's condition is not very good. I'll pick up my younger sister to go to the hospital to see my father."

When Mr. Deng heard that the situation was not good, he was anxious. He was about to ask something, but was interrupted by Deng Hongbing: "Dad, let Wanxia go in and clean up my sister-in-law first. Let me tell you about the situation in my father-in-law." The two had already issued a letter of introduction in the village a few days ago, and were waiting for a few days to get their marriage certificates and then set a time to hold a drink, so those names were all called according to the family.

Dad Deng nodded, quickly swept the dust on the strip bench in the main room with his sleeves, and said to the two green uniforms who followed Deng Hongbing, "Come on, thank you for your hard work in the PLA comrades, come and sit and rest for a while." Then he turned to Deng's mother and said, "Old woman, hurry up, go to the kitchen to let the flowers boil water, and rinse two bowls of sugar water to greet the guests."

Deng's mother also reacted and nodded and said, "Oh, ah, let's go." In this era, soldiers are very sacred in the eyes of the people. It would be so honorable to speak out, but we have to greet them.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the people, the two soldiers were also happy and hurriedly said, "Dad Deng, let's not drink sugar water, just two bowls of cold water."

Dad Deng didn't insist, and smiled and shouted to the direction of the kitchen: "Old woman, just bring hot water!" He is also a man, and men must not like the sweet and greasy sugar water.

Wanxia took Wanning back to the room she was temporarily staying, opened the curtain and came out, nodded to the people in the main hall, and then said to Dad Deng: "Uncle, I'll go and boil some hot water to wipe Wanning's face."

Dad Deng nodded and said, "Oh, go, go quickly, just let the flowers boil water."

Soon, Wanxia and Deng Honghua returned to the room with a basin of hot water. Wanxia skillfully twisted a towel to wipe Wanning's hands, face, then untied her braids and comb her hair.

Honghua stood aside: "Sister-in-law, I wanted to wash Wanning's face and comb her hair in the morning, but she didn't let her go. Fortunately, we just took a shower yesterday, so I thought about waiting for you to come back."

Wanxia smiled and nodded: "I left anxiously yesterday and forgot to tell you that my little sister is quite aware of people. When she was at home, she was only close to me. Even my elder sister would not let her comb her hair."

Honghua looked at her sister-in-law and then at dawn Wanning: "Sister-in-law, you are married in the future and are so far away from home. What should Wanning do? Or you discuss with my brother and take Wanning to our house as well. You can live with me. Otherwise, she will be so pitiful to stay in the Mu family alone in the future."

Mu Wanxia looked at Honghua and didn't expect her sister-in-law to say that. Although she had secretly thought that when she got married and became pregnant, she would find a way to take her sister over, but now her sister-in-law could raise her first step. It was fake that she said she was not moved, and she made up her mind to take good care of the family in the future.

Wanxia turned her head and prevented Honghua from seeing the tears in her eyes: "Huaer, thank you for thinking so, but Wanning will be 20 next year. Are you going to get married? My father told Wanning about the marriage, and I will come back now to dress her up and take her to see that person later."
