Chapter 310: The marriage between the two Sulan families
After Ruanruan finished chatting with Su's father and the others, Su's mother took Chaoxi aside to talk for a while. Chaoxi was also a child who grew up in their care. When the children were still young, her son Su Yanqiu would bring cakes made by his mother-in-law every time he went out to play. Sometimes after playing, he would specially look for his grandmother and say that the cakes were delicious and asked her to make more in the future. At first, they didn't suspect anything and just thought they were just a few kids being greedy.
However, one time when a few boys came to play at home, her mother-in-law specially made that kind of pastry for them. However, none of the boys ate it. She and her mother-in-law wondered if the pastry was not delicious this time.
After asking, I found out that they didn't like this cake, thinking it was too sweet. They didn't like it, but the little sister of the Lan family liked it. Hearing them say this, the two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law had nothing to understand, but Lan Chaoxi was married to Jiang Qi, the boy of the Jiang family at that time. Even if they liked Chaoxi, they couldn't do anything, and could only sigh secretly. Over the years, as the children grew up, the Lan family moved out of the capital and cut off contact with them.
Over the years, they watched these guys getting engaged and getting married one after another, but they never mentioned it in front of Su Yanqiu. They were also prepared for this guy to be single for the rest of his life. However, during the Chinese New Year last year, they accidentally saw the boy from the Jiang family having close contact with other female comrades. At that time, they were still speculating, but not long after, they heard the news that the Jiang and Lan families had broken off their engagement.
However, at that time, they were not sure about the attitude of the Lan family, and they could not contact them, so they did not tell Su Yanqiu. But now, the two children are together again. It's hard to explain this thing called fate!
Before the meal, the two families discussed the matter of the two children in front of Huo Haocheng's family. On the Su family's side, Su Yanqiu directly gave all his salary to Chaoxi in front of the elders, and said that he would give all his salary to Chaoxi in the future. The Lan family was no longer surprised by his behavior. The two of them boldly confirmed their relationship as soon as they met, but seeing the attitude of the Su family, they also had an expression that it should be like this. Everyone understood that it was okay, genetics.
Afterwards, Mr. Su said that the dowry given by the Su family was 1001, plus a courtyard house with one entrance in Beijing, plus three rings and one turn. Regarding the dowry of the Su family, the Lan family also agreed, and also said that these things belonged to the young couple. In addition, their family also gave 600 yuan as Chaoxi's dowry.
After discussing the bride price, they discussed the wedding date. As for where they lived after marriage, Su Yanqiu said it didn't matter, but Chaoxi still wanted to be closer to her sister. In the end, it was decided that Su Yanqiu would file a marriage report and then apply for a house. Once the house was approved, they would hold the wedding. Both families agreed to this.
But Su Yanqiu was a little reluctant. He had been thinking about the girl for so many years, and now he was about to get her. He was stuck with the house. He said, "Can't we get married first? There are so many houses in the family compound outside. He can live in a small one first, and then move in when the house he applied for is approved."
Of course, no one present cared about his opinion, and the two elders discussed the wedding matters on their own.
When the house was ready, the relatives of both sides were not here, so they also set up two small tables in the army. The elders of both families arrived, plus Su Yanqiu's comrades-in-arms, Huo Haocheng's family, and Commander Gu's family. In total, there were only three or four tables of people.
After everything was discussed and they had a happy meal, Su Yanqiu escorted them back to rest.
After everyone had dispersed and returned to their own rooms, Huo Haocheng asked, "Whose medical record did Aunt Su show you before? Why did you have that expression?" Huo Haocheng did not forget the surprise his wife had when she first saw the medical record, and then she seemed to have thought of something and understood.
When Ruanruan heard what Huo Haocheng said, she was also stunned. She didn't expect that she was only stunned for two seconds and he could see it.
Ruanruan didn't think much of it and just pointed upwards.
Seeing his wife's actions, Huo Haocheng understood that things were going to get uneasy again.
"Then, you..." Huo Haocheng wanted to ask, can Ruanruan's medical skills cure it? But then he thought, if she had a way, she would definitely try her best to cure it, but she is still pregnant and will give birth in a few months, he doesn't want her to take risks.
"Don't worry, I won't go. Besides, it's useless even if I go. I can only find a way to relieve his pain." Ruanruan also felt sorry about this.
The "system" softly called out the kitten that was watching TV series in the space
"Host, I'm here. What's wrong?" The little kitten who was called out saw that their faces were not very good, and asked puzzledly. Did they encounter something big?
"System, you know that person is sick. Do you have any way to cure him?" In response, Ruanruan was just asking, just in case.
"Host, birth, aging, sickness and death. Doctors can cure illness, but as for aging, this is a natural law that cannot be stopped by human beings." Hearing what Ruanruan said, the little cat also knew why they had such expressions. However, his mission was to save the persecuted people. He was really powerless to do anything about this kind of natural life and death.
"I know" was originally just a fluke, but now that she knew the truth, she didn't say much.
He walked to the desk, picked up a pen, and quickly wrote a list of medicinal materials.
"Go and help me find these herbs. I need to make medicine tomorrow." After giving the list to the kitten, she leaned in Huo Haocheng's arms and buried her head in his chest.
Seeing his wife's sad look, Huo Haocheng felt bad too. Over the past year or so, whatever Ruanruan wanted to do, she couldn't do without that person's help, but... now he could do nothing. He held his wife in his arms, gently patted her back, and comforted her silently.
It was not until she was tired and fell asleep that he gently put her down, went out to fetch some water, and gave his wife a simple wash. After washing himself, he held his wife with one hand and stroked her belly with the other.
"Be good, babies. Mom is a little sad now. You have to be considerate of me and not let me get tired. Just go to sleep obediently," Huo Haocheng said. It seemed as if the children could sense it, and their stomach, which had been moving violently, slowly calmed down.
Seeing that the children were really quiet, Huo Haocheng was also very relieved. "The babies are so well-behaved. They know how to care for their mother at such a young age. We must continue to work hard and not disturb your mother's sleep. It's very late now, you also have to go to bed well..."
Seeing that the children really stopped moving, Huo Haocheng put his big hand on his wife's belly and fell asleep.
The next day, Su Yanqiu took a leave of absence and took his grandparents on a tour around the area. Of course, Chaoxi accompanied them.
After Xiaomao found the herbs she needed, Ruanruan started making pills besides eating. During this time, a lot of herbs needed to be ground into powder. Huo Haocheng knew that she had a heavy workload today, so he handed over the group's work to Bo Sirui and stayed at home to help. He was responsible for the physically demanding tasks such as grinding the herbs.
For other lighter tasks such as cleaning, grandma also comes to help. For some things that need to be boiled, Wang Qun helps. Ruanruan only needs to distinguish the herbs and then talk.
The family worked methodically for a whole day to make the pills. They put them in two bottles and waited for Su's father and others to leave before coming to get them.
