Chapter 171 Marriage
Feng Qingqing and He Yong'an helped the two elderly people for two days before finally seeing them off on the train.
Next, the two of them decorated their little home.
When the elderly couple left, they only took their personal belongings and daily necessities with them, leaving everything else to Feng Qingqing and her husband.
The old lady was very diligent, and the furniture in the house was kept in very good condition.
After discussing it, the two decided to use the furniture left by the elderly couple.
It took two days to clean and tidy up the entire house, inside and out.
Collect items that are not used or not needed for the time being and set them aside.
Then the two began preparing their wedding supplies.
Some time ago, He Yong'an somehow obtained a ticket for a watch, and he has already bought the watch.
After all, it's really inconvenient for a police officer to be on duty without a watch, and it can also cause delays.
This Sunday, the couple went to the county department store to buy other wedding supplies.
After much consideration, the two decided to buy a sewing machine and a bicycle.
Feng Qingqing had used a sewing machine in her previous life, so it wasn't difficult.
I still need to learn how to cut clothes, so that it will be convenient to make all kinds of things in the future.
Buying a bicycle would also make it easier for He Yong'an to commute to and from get off work.
Their current house is close to Feng Qingqing's hospital, so she can walk to and from get off work.
After buying the larger items, the two also bought some floral fabric, which Feng Qingqing planned to make into a floral bed sheet.
When I went to the countryside before, we had several beds at home, and they are still usable, so there's no need to make one now.
After shopping, the two went to Grandpa Fang's house again that evening.
Recently, besides buying wedding supplies with He Yong'an, Feng Qingqing has also been coming over from time to time to treat Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Fang.
In particular, Mr. Wang has shown significant improvement compared to the past.
They were already aware of each other's marriage plans.
The two of them came today to formally inform the two elderly people.
We will hold a banquet at the state-run restaurant next Sunday at noon.
Since the two had no other close relatives in the county, He Yong'an did not intend to contact the He family in Lanshan Brigade.
After discussing it, the two only planned to invite Grandpa Fang and Grandpa Wang, while He Yong'an invited two of his colleagues from work.
After some consideration, Feng Qingqing finally informed Lin Dianzhi, the head of their internal medicine department, that she could come over if he had time.
The two elderly people had already discussed Feng Qingqing's marriage.
Not long after entering the Fang family home, the old lady pulled Feng Qingqing into the house and closed the door.
Only then did she sit down on the edge of the bed, while the old lady opened the cabinet door and rummaged around inside for a while before taking out a small, bulging bag wrapped in a handkerchief.
The old lady opened the layers one by one, and just as Feng Qingqing had expected, inside was a thick stack of 10,000 yuan bills.
Without any hesitation, he placed it in Feng Qingqing's hand, and then said:
“Daughter, it’s fate that we’re here. You can call us godfather and godmother.”
Since you've already called us that, we have to prepare a dowry for you.
This money is what my husband and I have saved up over the years.
It wasn't given to you by your three other brothers.
Fearing that Feng Qingqing might not accept it, he added an explanation:
"Don't worry, we have more."
Grandma Fang saw that Feng Qingqing was inclined to recommend him, so she quickly pressed Feng Qingqing's hand and then explained with a smile:
“This is our heartfelt gift. Unless you don’t want to associate with us anymore, or you think our dowry is too small, you have to accept this money no matter what.”
Seeing the old lady's expression, Feng Qingqing knew that she had to accept the money today no matter what.
And then she didn't refuse again.
Feng Qingqing was touched. She knew that whatever the reason the elderly couple had for adopting her as their goddaughter, she was deeply moved.
But over the time they've spent together, she's come to know how genuine the elderly couple's feelings are for her.
It is free of any impurities.
She is willing to maintain this relationship. Having such a caring and loving elder makes her feel that her life is more complete.
On the way back, Feng Qingqing told He Yong'an about the dowry the old lady had given her.
He Yong'an nodded as well.
He could tell that the elderly couple truly regarded Feng Qingqing as their own daughter, and it was only natural for them to give her a dowry when she got married.
Time flew by and it was Sunday morning.
Yesterday, Feng Qingqing and He Yong'an went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register their marriage and took wedding photos.
The two are now legally married.
However, in those days, people still generally believed that only by holding a banquet and inviting relatives and friends could a marriage be considered a proper wedding.
Both Feng Qingqing and He Yong'an were dressed very smartly today.
He Yong'an was not wearing any other clothes, but was wearing a police uniform.
He believes the police uniform is of great significance to him, and he hopes to wear it on this most important day of his life to embrace a new chapter.
Feng Qingqing made a women's trench coat out of the red fabric she had bought when she was in the Lanshan Brigade.
The weather was getting colder, so Feng Qingqing wore a sweater underneath her clothes to keep warm, and then put on this bright red coat.
Wearing it made Feng Qingqing look even more pretty and dashing.
Feng Qingqing specially wore a natural makeup look today, simply drawing her eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil.
I wore a light pink lipstick.
Because she was young and beautiful, she was naturally gorgeous even without makeup.
Now, with the simple makeup, she is even more dazzling, making it impossible for anyone to open their eyes.
He Yong'an felt that Feng Qingqing was too beautiful to be real.
----
Feng Qingqing and He Yong'an did not invite many guests.
Around 11 a.m., the guests had all arrived at the state-run hotel.
The two of them only booked two tables.
The seats were already completely full.
To Feng Qingqing's surprise, Lin Dian, the director of the internal medicine department of the county hospital whom she had invited, also came to the wedding with his wife.
It should be noted that her invitation at the time was merely out of politeness and courtesy.
Since she joined the county hospital, she has followed the rules every day and has never started seeing patients independently.
After reading through all the books assigned by Director Lin twice, I will then follow Director Lin for my internship.
Lin Dian's attitude towards this young girl, who got in through connections, has changed from indifference at first to surprise recently.
He discovered that this girl not only had a serious and hardworking attitude towards learning.
And they have an exceptionally good memory.
The books and courses he had assigned to her were all memorized without any hesitation after just over half a month, and she could even apply them, after several intentional and unintentional spot checks.
Lin Dian was unaware of her other merits.
Just from this alone, you can tell that this girl is a promising talent.
Therefore, recently, Lin Dian has been taking Feng Qingqing with him at all times, so that she can give him guidance and instruction.
He felt that this girl had great potential and could be his last disciple in the future.
He agreed to attend her wedding without hesitation.
He and his wife arrived at the state-run restaurant early in the morning.
