Da Biao drove directly to the doorstep of the house.
"Da Biao, is that Qi Yan’s place?"
"Yes, when the boss and sister-in-law were here before, their family lived here."
Qi Yan and the others parked their car at their own door and walked over.
"In the future, I’ll definitely invite the three of them over for dinner here." Huang Xiaoqing said excitedly.
Da Biao laughed, "But they’re really busy."
Qi Yan and his siblings followed them into the yard, as all the houses here shared the sa layout.
Mr. and Mrs. Huang were quite satisfied with it. They knew their daughter wouldn’t be staying here long, only during the winter and sumr holidays. Sundays.
After all, this is a new house, it looks quite comforting.
In the main room, there are two stoves facing each other. Everything is new, including a dish cabinet.
Upon entering, there’s a set of furniture, with an upright cabinet and two side cabinets. The bed is covered with a mat and there are two sets of bedding on it.
"Xiaoqin, look at the size, and I’ll buy so fabric later to get the sisters-in-law to make two quilt covers."
Qi Wen laughed, "There’s no need to buy it. There are several bolts of cloth in the car, let the aunties pick so later."
Da Biao nodded with a smile, which made things much simpler.
Mrs. Huang was very satisfied seeing that all the items were new.
Qi Yan and his siblings went out and soon returned with three bolts of fabric, the popular style right now.
"Auntie, take a look and see if you like it? We also need to make door and window curtains. This should be enough."
"It’s enough, it’s enough, there isn’t anything else missing," Mrs. Huang nodded thoughtfully.
After Qi Yan put it down, "Uncle and auntie, I’m going to the cafeteria for a while."
The other two siblings also left, leaving the family alone.
Shortly afterward, the voices of won talking ca from the courtyard.
Da Biao walked out with a smile. Four or five won ca in.
After greeting, there was no formality; they asured and asked Huang Xiaoqing about which fabric to use for the door and window curtains, and which for the quilt covers. They confird and left.
Mrs. Huang smiled and asked, "Da Biao, are people here always this warm?"
"Yes, everyone lives here. While there are so differences, most people are nice.
Mom and Dad, do you find this acceptable?"
"Of course. It’s a new house, and everything’s new."
Da Biao was relieved. "Mom and Dad, take a seat, I’ll go start the fire."
Mrs. Huang touched the furniture. There wasn’t a speck of dust and she was even more satisfied.
anwhile, Daqing left after Da Biao did. He wasn’t full and went to find a place to eat.
He had planned to et with Sun Lizhen at nine. In fact, there was no rush.
At eight-thirty, he was waiting in front of the hospital.
Watching people co and go, Daqing wondered how to persuade Sun Lizhen to go to the garrison hospital.
He suddenly laughed, realizing he’d need her to agree to marry him first.
Sun Lizhen ca out fifteen minutes early and imdiately saw the car parked outside.
Daqing also saw Sun Lizhen and quickly got out of the car.
"Is your work all arranged?"
Sun Lizhen nodded with a smile, "Yes, have you been here long?"
"I left the garrison around three today because my buddy is getting his marriage certificate today."
"eting that day?"
Daqing nodded. "Let’s not stand at the door. Let’s find a place to chat." They walked as they talked.
"Xiao Sun, do you know any suitable places?" Daqing asked.
"Let’s go to the park."
Daqing didn’t mind, but he drove quite slowly.
"You asked earlier—yes, that’s when they t for the first ti and they imdiately chose each other."
"That’s really fast."
"Another buddy also set a date this afternoon."
"Are things happening this fast?"
Daqing gave a bitter smile, "We’re not getting any younger. Since we intend to marry, there’s no need to delay."
Sun Lizhen fell silent. What Daqing said made a lot of sense.
The car parked beside the park. "Let’s sit in the car for a while and go out when it gets warr."
Sun Lizhen nodded. The two sat in this small space.
"Xiao Sun, have you given it any thought over these few days?"
Sun Lizhen nodded, "I think you’re alright, and I’m not young anymore.
Our idea is similar; if we’re considering marriage, we should act with marriage as the goal."
Daqing laughed, "That’s great. We’re both orphans, so we don’t need to consult anyone.
My buddy has set Saturday as the day for a simple wedding ceremony at the garrison.
Actually, I was thinking of doing it together with you. Would you agree?"
"Saturday? This Saturday? Today is already Friday."
"Yes, let’s file our report today and get the certificate this afternoon. I’ve already tidied up the garrison’s house.
Anything else? If you want to buy a house outside, we can research it after marriage.
Actually, I’d prefer you to work at the garrison hospital; they really need a surgeon like you."
Sun Lizhen was stunned. Could it be done like this? Even though she intended to marry, she never thought it could be so fast.
Shouldn’t they get to know each other first? Marriage is no small matter.
Daqing noticed Sun Lizhen’s hesitation.
"If you feel it’s too rushed, we can take it slow; no problem."
"I feel it’s too fast, we need to get to know each other better."
Daqing laughed, "We all attended the match-making, which involved investigations. What more do you want to know?"
Sun Lizhen also laughed. The basic information was indeed investigated. As for personality and temper, those could only be understood with ti.
Those aren’t things that can be grasped overnight. Perhaps she was overthinking it.
"Xiao Sun, is there anything else you want to know about ? Besides work, feel free to ask."
"Do you really want to work at the garrison hospital?"
"Of course. The garrison hospital really needs surgeons."
Sun Lizhen nodded; she already knew the garrison hospital was quite good. So colleagues had been trying to apply for a long ti without success.
"It’s not sowhere you can just go, is it?"
"Right, I don’t know your processes, but things will be much easier once we’re married."
Sun Lizhen realized it’s in consideration of family.
She hadn’t considered going to the garrison hospital before. But if she could get there, it would be a good place.
"Anything else you want to know?"
Sun Lizhen shook her head. Even if she asked, it would just be answers; nothing compares to personal experience.
"Is there anything you want to know about ?"
"Those are things we’ll learn in ti. We both know each other’s work, which is enough. There will be plenty of chances to understand each other as we go." Daqing said with a smile.
