Tan Shaoting kept an eye on his wife, "Are the pancakes tasty?"
Yuanyuan nodded, "They’re alright, quite flavorful."
Tan Shaoting and Yuanyuan listened to Daqing’s words. Since the others hadn’t made up their minds, they said nothing.
After dinner, they didn’t stick around. Qi Yan went outside to settle the bill, and then the family left.
Daqing hadn’t finished eating and continued to eat.
Sun Lizhen was a bit worried, "Daqing, do you think the two bosses are upset?"
Daqing looked at Sun Lizhen puzzled, "What’s wrong? I don’t know."
"Is it because I didn’t agree?"
Daqing laughed, "You’re overthinking it. The boss didn’t an that. It’s our own matter, and we had dinner together today because I wanted them to et you. There’s no other aning behind it. Don’t overthink.
The boss isn’t resorting to such ans. Relax. Just keep eating. The boss’s family is like that. They ca here for dinner to accommodate us. Their tastes are very mild."
Sun Yuzhen continua to eat nervously, pondering the matter.
"Stop thinking about it, try this pancake—if sister-in-law says it’s good, it must be good."
Sun Yuzhen looked at the pancake offered by Daqing and made a decision, "Let’s get married soon too? I think the boss has a point. We can gradually adapt."
Daqing laughed, "You really don’t need to take the boss’s words to heart. He was talking about ."
Sun Yuzhen nodded, feeling the boss’s advice was for her, "It’s okay, I’m not being rash. I’ve thought it over just now; life is like this, both our jobs are busy, and we won’t have much ti to get to know each other in the future. Getting married isn’t bad."
"So you’ve decided?"
"Yeah, I’ll submit my proposal on Monday."
Daqing laughed, "Alright, I’ll report on Monday too.
By the way, you can submit your transfer application together."
Sun Yuzhen nodded, "Sure."
"When do you have ti? Shall we get our marriage certificate first?"
"Monday night, after my night shift; Wednesday afternoon, post-shift."
"Alright, I’ll wait for you at the hospital entrance at 5 AM on Tuesday, and we’ll get the certificate."
Sun Yuzhen nodded, "Okay. Since I’m transferring, should we still buy a house?"
"Yes, the guys all have hos here. We’ll need a place to stay when we visit. It’s already decided, let’s just buy it."
"Okay, got it."
After dinner, Daqing took Sun Yuzhen back to the hospital and then went to Hu Zi’s place to wait for Da Biao.
Hu Zi looked at Daqing and sighed, "You three have settled down, and I need to go again."
"You’re more experienced."
"What’s so good about being experienced? But I don’t feel too embarrassed with Zhang Chunsheng here too."
Zhang Chunsheng just walked in, "Oh, you’re being schadenfreude?"
Hu Zi laughed, "How could it be? I’m the sa as you."
"Don’t think I don’t know you’re secretly laughing at ."
Hu Zi laughed even more gleefully, openly teasing Zhang Chunsheng.
Zhang Chunsheng didn’t want to bother with Hu Zi, smiled at Daqing, "Congratulations."
Daqing nodded with a smile, "Can I say it’s thanks to the boss? We had dinner with the boss’s family tonight. Mr. Sun wants to get to know him better. The boss scolded , but after he left, Mr. Sun changed his mind, and we’ll get our certificate on Tuesday."
Zhang Chunsheng nodded, "There’s really nothing wrong with it, marriage is just marriage."
"Is that you comforting yourself?"
"Yeah, kind of. I’ve been building myself up ntally these days."
"Boss, you really should get married, find soone independent and self-sufficient. You can be busy separately and still be a family at ho."
"Hmm, I’ll be more attentive next ti. Actually, if it weren’t for Qin Zhiyuan’s expression, I wouldn’t have done that."
"Secretary Qin didn’t get reprimanded by the boss?"
"How could he escape it? But I feel he has thick skin; the boss’s words don’t bother him."
All three laughed. It was true; Qin Zhiyuan usually had a cheerful deanor, but he was indeed quite self-absorbed.
Da Biao returned with Qi Yan and the others in the afternoon. The bed covers, window curtains, and door curtains were all set up, but they didn’t stay for dinner and took the Huang family ho.
The Huang couple was full of smiles all afternoon, increasingly satisfied with Da Biao.
Back ho, Mrs. Huang cooked, while Mr. Huang took the young couple to see the house.
Da Biao really had no opinions; Mr. Huang eventually chose the nearest house, and the price was affordable.
Da Biao ca with money, but it was too late. Procedures couldn’t be done today.
After dinner, Da Biao left, agreeing to pick up Huang Xiaoqing at 5 AM the next morning.
When he reached Hu Zi’s office, all three were waiting for him.
"Da Biao, we two can only make it to dinner tomorrow."
None of them had ti to rest; the morning work was especially busy, and there was no choice.
Da Biao understood, "I’ll co at 5 AM tomorrow."
"Alright, you guys better leave quickly. Should I take Daqing ho?" Hu Zi asked.
Da Biao shook his head, "I better go back myself; there’s firewood needed at ho."
Such busy work, so tiring—they decided he’d best go on his own.
Chengzi was also having dinner at the Li Family, but he went back to the dorm to rest, as was his habit. Tomorrow he’d go back to the garrison with the boss and sister-in-law.
Da Biao was the first among the four to marry. He’s second. Next week, they’ll also get their certificate.
Tan Shaoting’s family of five returned ho, and Qi Wen cheerfully recounted eting Da Biao and the others in the morning.
"We saw the girl, and she seems nice, quiet, but it might be troubleso in the future. One will be teaching in the city, and Uncle Da Biao can’t co back daily."
"Build a school," Tan Shaoting said.
There really were many children at the garrison. Those who valued education sent their kids to outside schools; those who didn’t let them roam wild within the compound.
Yuanyuan agreed, "Building a school is a good idea."
"Tomorrow, see if Daqing has ti to draft a report, start planning in spring."
This was another benefit for the garrison.
"Mom and Dad, when are you heading to the garrison tomorrow?"
"Leaving at nine."
"Then we’ll go together."
Today, all five entered Yuanyuan’s space. It’s huge, and they haven’t explored it all yet.
The next day, Da Biao arrived at the Huang Family’s door at five. Breakfast was brought back by Mr. Huang, with fried dough sticks and homade noodle soup.
Seeing his wife in new clothes, Da Biao thought she looked stunning and realized he forgot to buy her clothes.
Huang Xiaoqing laughed, "It’s no big deal."
