Zhang Yan Jie’s parents also went to attend the banquet at Old Liu’s house. Today, the only people in her home were the four-person study group.
Apricot village was not a big village. There were only around 100 residents. If there was one family that had a wedding, every family was invited.
Banquets in the village were the kind where guests arrived at various times and were served food as they arrived. Whoever came first would eat first. After finishing, the next dish would be served.
Old Liu’s family had a total of seven rooms. It was just enough to serve everyone. If it was a normal person’s house, they would need to borrow rooms from their neighbors.
During such happy occasions, the host would borrow utensils, chairs, tables, and other objects from other families. Just a few days ago, Liu Da had come to borrow chairs and tables from Su Mian’s family.
Zhang Yan Jie had changed into a new cotton-padded jacket for the day. She even raised her chest higher but Li Ya Jun only swept her a glance and did not raise his head anymore.
Zhang Yan Jie was simply too much. They were a study group, not in a mixer.
Wei Min curled her lips and chatted with Su Mian, “I heard that Liu Da’s wedding furniture was made by your father. My mom also saw the new furniture yesterday and exclaimed that it was beautiful. She even said that she would ask your father to make my brother a set for his wedding.”
“Your brother is getting married?” Hearing that Wei Zhen Hui was about to get married, Su Mian’s palpitation increased, and her voice went higher. She couldn’t hear anything else but the thumping of her heart.
Even Li Ya Jun, who had his head lowered as he studied, raised his head to look at her. It was only then that Su Mian realized her tone and quickly explained, “Isn’t Brother Wei a part of the Army?”
“Who knows. Yesterday, I heard my mother and Su Hong’s mother discussing it. It seems that their family has taken a fancy for my brother. However, I really don’t like Su Hong. She is clearly studying to become a military doctor, but she keeps coming back! My brother had been in the army for one year without any rest! What’s more, when Liu Da was injured, she was clearly being careful about not ruining her reputation. She is a military doctor, but she went into hiding during such a crucial moment. I don’t want her to be my sister-in-law.”
Wei Min then looked at Su Mian and inched closer, “If only you were a bit older, I could pair you two up. You are even prettier than Su Hong, and you can save lives. My brother might like you more. How great would it be for you to become my sister-in-law.”
“What nonsense are you saying!” Su Mian’s face blushed. Wei Zhen Hui did like her in the past, he liked her for his entire life without letting go.
“Oh, oh, oh. You can still feel embarrassed,” Wei Min teased, causing the bashful Li Ya Jun to be unable to look away from her.
Su Mian, although young, was already beautiful. Her skin was white as snow and her eyebrows were dark. Her big eyes were especially clear and spirited. Now that her face was red, Li Ya Jun could not help but look at her foolishly.
He previously admired Su Mian’s beauty, but he was cowardly and could only be like a neighborhood brother to her. However, she had been making him have a whole new level of respect for her recently. She performed deeds with great magnanimity and could even save lives in times of emergency.
Even when Xiao Gao’s wife had been spreading bad rumors about her, she did not let the recent enmity cloud her and saved Lao Wu. Such a kindhearted girl was the type that he liked.
Seeing Li Ya Jun’s foolish expression, Zhang Yan Jia was so angry that her small chest undulated.
Su Mian, you sl*t. You truly make trouble wherever you go.
Su Mian’s heart could not stay calm. It seemed that in her past life, Su Hong’s family had already taken a fancy to Wei Zhen Hui at this time.
Wei Zhen Hui was only 25 years old but was already a captain. His prospects were boundless, so it was normal for people to talk about his marriage.
Wei Min continued, “My brother is quite popular. The people who came to propose marriage had almost stepped on my doormat flat. Even my mother’s nitpicking eyes had already become blurry these days.”
For the entire morning, Su Mian was not able to take in a single word from her textbooks. Her mind was only filled with Wei Min’s words.
She did not know what to do now. If the events followed her past life, Wei Zhen Hui would be carrying out a military mission. Moreover, he would be injured from it. This meant that he was now preparing for battle.
Where should she go to meet him once?
At noon, Su Mian and Wei Min left first. Li Ya Jun was slow in putting away his things and was the last to leave.
But before he even reached the doorstep, he was suddenly hugged by someone from behind.
