Chapter 211 Chen Hongling is admitted to the art troupe and her wedding is approaching
Chen Hongling was admitted to the art troupe, and He Wenbin was planning to marry her, but the parents of both parties had not yet officially met.
The He family wants to meet with the in-laws to discuss the dowry and marriage.
I heard before that Chen Hongling said that her family treated her badly and forced her to marry a divorced bachelor in order to get a higher bride price.
Last time, their family said they wanted to pay a dowry of three thousand yuan, and the situation became very tense between the two sides.
The last time Lu Jinglan came to the island, she was robbed on the street and changed her opinion of Chen Hongling. Their family can afford the 3,000 yuan dowry.
It was originally planned that Lu Jinglan and her husband would come to the island together to meet the girl's parents.
He Wenbin went to the dock to pick someone up, but only saw Lu Jinglan. He reached out to take the luggage and looked behind her, "Mom, where's my dad? Is he too busy with work to come?"
Lu Jinglan smiled and said, "Well! He is busy with work and can't come over. Let me apologize to you."
He Wenbin said jokingly, "Yes, he is a very busy man. He can't spare time to show up for anyone's son's wedding. From childhood to adulthood, you have been the only one who has taken care of my life, school, and work. It's as if I'm not his son."
When he was a child, the role of his father was always absent in his life. It seemed that it didn’t matter whether his father was there or not. He would rather be close to his grandparents and uncle.
Lu Jinglan's face changed slightly, her lips turned pale, and she forced a stiff smile at the corners of her mouth.
He Wenbin could sense that she was forcing a smile, "Mom, are you hiding something from me?"
"It's okay. There's nothing to worry about. Nothing is more important than my son's marriage. When is the meeting date arranged? See if your uncle and aunt are free and ask them to come along." Lu Jinglan changed the subject.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk, He Wenbin didn't ask any more questions. "I'm on vacation the day after tomorrow, and I specifically chose the lunch break. I haven't asked them yet, but I think they should have time for lunch."
She told her son, "Although you are not in the same regiment, you are in the same military unit in the same military region. When you were a child, your uncle often took you out to play, and you loved to stick to him. Now that you have grown up, there is no reason to distance yourself from him. We are all relatives, so you should visit each other more often. Forget it, I don't expect you to ask. When you get to the army, I will ask myself."
"I know. I always greet my uncle every time I see him. I respect him very much."
He used to go to the cafeteria to eat with his uncle almost every month, but later he married his ex-fiancée and their relationship became awkward, so they rarely ate together.
To celebrate her admission, Chen Hongling prepared a large table of food in the staff quarters and invited relatives and friends to dine together.
Because Lu Zhengxiao is He Wenbin's uncle and Lu Jinglan is coming, the couple are also invited.
And Lin Shu.
If Huang Cuihua wasn't crazy, she would have been invited.
Lin Shu arrived last. Chen Hongling happily went to open the door and introduced her to Lu Jinglan.
Lin Shu extended his hand to her and greeted her politely, "Aunt, let me introduce you. This is Lin Shu, the daughter of Deputy Commander Lin. Sister Lin Shu helped me a lot in getting into the art troupe, so I invited her to come along."
She was very grateful to Lin Shu for treating her like a good friend and sister.
As for Shen Ye Ning, although they were relatives, she seemed to have never looked at me in the eye.
Lu Jinglan extended her hand and said gratefully, "Hello, Comrade Lin Shu. I heard Hong Ling talk about you on the phone a long time ago. Thank you for helping her."
Lin Shu said modestly, "Don't say that. Hongling is very talented in singing. She has achieved what she has today through hard work. I just helped a little."
Chen Hongling held Lin Shu's arm affectionately and said, "It's not just a small favor. If it weren't for you, I would definitely not have passed the exam. I made your favorite dish today. You must try my cooking."
Lu Zhengxiao and his wife helped bring the dishes to the table. The two of them sat at the table, along with He Wenbin. They looked at each other and had nothing to talk about. The scene was very awkward.
He Wenbin reminded, "Why don't you eat first? If you don't eat now, the food will get cold."
Lu Jinglan led them over, "Okay! Let's eat first and talk while we eat, or talk after we finish eating."
Lin Shu, "Okay, Sister Jinglan."
At the dining table, Lu Zhengxiao picked up vegetables and peeled shrimps and crabs for Shen Ye Ning.
Lin Shu, who was standing opposite, watched this scene and tightened his grip on the chopsticks with such force that his knuckles turned white and bulged.
Shen Ye Ning has fair and delicate skin, a rosy complexion, and exudes a temperament that is both girlish and charming, and one can tell at a glance that she is happily being pampered by a man.
But such happiness should have belonged to her.
Everything was taken away by Shen Ye Ning!!!
She had been blinded by hatred before, but only recently realized that she had competed with Ye Xiaojun for Zhao Yongcheng just to disgust them.
The person in her heart has always been Lu Zhengxiao.
Only he who has excellent family background, ability and talent is worthy of me.
Chen Hongling noticed that something was wrong with her and whispered in her ear, "I'm going to the art troupe tomorrow, and I have good news to tell you."
Her mother was cleaning in the health center and accidentally overheard the conversation between Shen Ye Ning and the old Chinese doctor. Shen Ye Ning was in poor health, had severe uterine cold, and could not have children.
When we met at the vegetable market this morning, I secretly told my daughter the news.
After dinner, Lin Shu didn't stay long and quickly said goodbye and left.
Their family sat on the small sofa and chatted for a while.
Lu Jinglan thought of the scene she had just seen downstairs, and her eyes fell on Shen Ye Ning's flat belly.
She said, "I just met Political Commissar Li's wife downstairs, and your good sister who was the bridesmaid at your wedding, I think her name was Xiaojun. They are both pregnant. Taking a walk downstairs is helpful for childbirth. I chatted with them for a while. She and Captain Zhao met when you got married, right? It feels like not long ago, but they got married and pregnant. Half a year later, the baby was born. It's too fast."
Shen Ye Ning nodded, "Yeah, it was about that time."
She asked again tentatively, "So you don't plan to have children yet? When do you plan to have children?"
Lu Zhengxiao replied, "Not yet."
This time and place are not suitable for confessing the truth. He will wait until he returns to Guangzhou on vacation next time and then talk to his parents together.
Chen Hongling listened quietly, her eyes moving slightly.
If you can't have children, then you can't have children. Why are you making so many excuses?
Lin Shu still has feelings for Lu Zhengxiao.
Shen Ye Ning opened a clothing store, a clothing factory and a canning factory. She was praised by the military wives in the staff housing estate for being young, beautiful and able to make money.
He also compared her with Shen Ye Ning and belittled her.
No matter how loving a couple is, a woman who cannot have children will sooner or later be unable to withstand the pressure from her family and will be forced to divorce and separate.
As long as Shen Ye Ning leaves the family compound, the person who will be praised in the future will be her, Chen Hongling.
I will find a chance to tell Lin Shu when I go to the art troupe tomorrow.
"...How can we not have children? If you don't have time to take care of them, let your elders take care of them. Our parents are retired and have nothing to do every day." Lu Jinglan still holds the old-fashioned view that it is not possible to not have children. Having many children means more blessings, and having children to enjoy your life is a normal life.
Shen Ye Ning's expression darkened, she lowered her eyes, and clenched her hands on her legs.
Suddenly, a big hand covered the back of her hand and clasped her fingers tightly.
Lu Zhengxiao said in a serious tone, "Sister, this is a matter between us, Wenbin's marriage is more important."
"Okay." Lu Jinglan could see that her brother was angry, so she didn't say anything more.
The topic then turned to the meeting with the Chen family, which restaurant to go to, how many dishes to order, and how many people to seat.
