Chapter 188 - 188

Chapter 188 Pre-departure ConversationYun Huai didn't have many days off. After staying at home for three days, the two of them had to return to the military region.The night before he left, Father Yun called Yun Huai into his room and talked for a while."Second brother, Man Man is a good child. She lost her parents at a young age. If you're together, you have to treat her well and take responsibility. You can't let her down. If you get married, you'll probably be living over there most of the time. Your parents live far away and can't help you much, but you must tell us if you encounter any difficulties. Even if things get really bad, you still have your brothers and sisters!"When Yun Huai heard his father speak such a long passage for the first time, his eyes welled up with tears."Dad, I know. Don't worry. You and Mom should take care of yourselves. I hope you won't blame me for not being able to be filial to you.""Why are you saying these things, child? Let me tell you, you can't think like that. You are your parents' pride! When we go out, everyone will say that our family has produced an officer. Your parents are so proud."Father Yun took out a savings book and said, "Second son, take this money. There's a thousand yuan in it. You can decide how much to give as a bride price. This is all the money your parents have. All three of you brothers are the same. Your parents have a pension now, so we don't need you to give us any money. Just take care of your own families in the future.""Dad, I can't accept this...""Listen to me, take it." Father Yun's tone left no room for argument.Yun Huai had no choice but to accept it."When are you planning to get married? Maybe we can come over sometime then.""Mom and Dad, it's too far. I'm worried you won't be able to handle the car ride."Father Yun glared at him, "You brat, your parents aren't that old yet!""I'd like to wait until my younger sister's summer vacation, then she can take you all there.""That works too. Your little sister will definitely be happy. You brothers have always doted on her since she was little."" Man, your uncle and aunt live nearby, so they'll inevitably have to look after you a lot. You should be sensible and go help out with chores during your holidays. Don't always come empty-handed for meals."Mother Yun instructed…"Mom, I understand.""And..." Mother Yun went on and on, giving many instructions, which Yun Huai answered one by one without the slightest impatience.Father Yun interrupted them, " Alright, if you keep talking, you won't get any sleep. Let Childgo back and rest; he has to get up early tomorrow to catch the bus!""Look at me, I can't stop talking once I start. Go back and get some rest!""Mom and Dad, I'm going to sleep now. You should get some rest too."Yun Huai went out and walked to Yun Ting'sroom. She wanted to go in and see if Li Man was asleep, but she was worried that she might wake her up if she was asleep.Just as he hesitated, the door opened from the inside, and Li Man looked at him with a grin, "Aren't you going to sleep yet? Is there something you need?"Yun Huai patted her head. "It's nothing. I just wanted to see if you were asleep. Go back and rest! We have to get up early tomorrow morning. We can talk about it tomorrow.""good…"The next day! When Yun Huai got up to go for a run, Father Yun Mother Yun has already gotten up.While they were busy making breakfast in the kitchen, Father Yun was helping out."Mom and Dad, why so early?""Mom will make you some food to eat on the train. Have something hot before you board the train.""Thank you, Mom...""Didn't you see your dad is busy here too?"Father Yun said irritably."Oh, I'm so sorry, Dad, you're here too? Thank you!""Pfft... You two, father and son, are never serious." Mother Yun laughed and scolded.When Li Man got up, Mother Yun had already prepared breakfast, and the table was full of food. She felt embarrassed."Auntie, I'm sorry, I overslept. Thank you and Uncle for your trouble.""It's not late, it's still early! We're old and don't need much sleep, it's not tiring at all."When Li Man finished washing up and came in,Liang Dan and Child were still not up."Auntie, aren't we waiting for your sister-in-law?""No need, I saved some for them. Let's eat first, you still need to catch the bus later! Your sister-in-law got up at night to feed the child and didn't sleep well."After the four had breakfast, Father Yun Mother Yun said she wanted to go with them to see them off, but Yun Huai didn't allow it."Mom and Dad, you don't need to go through the trouble. We can go by ourselves."Mother Yun handed Li Man a red envelope, saying, " Man Man, this is a small token of our appreciation from your uncle and me. It's not much, so please don't think it's too little."Li Man hurriedly pushed it back, saying, "Auntie, I can't accept this.""Take it! It's our local custom," Yun Huai said, andLi Man accepted it with some embarrassment."Thank you, Uncle and Aunt."" Child, come back with your second brother when you're on vacation, and Auntie will cook you something delicious.""Okay, then I want to eat Auntie's oyster pancakes again next time, they're so delicious.""Haha... Okay, Auntie got it. If that brat Yun Huaibullies you, just write to us and we'll take care of him for you.""OK.""There are some sausages and cured meats made for the New Year in the bag. There aren't many, but you can take them back for your uncle and aunt to try.""Okay, I will definitely convey Auntie's wishes."Father Yun Mother Yun walked them to the outside of the Family Compound until they were out of sight, then turned around and walked back." Yun Mus name, did your second son run off with his girlfriend?""Yes! I didn't have much vacation time, so I went back.""When are you getting married? That girl is really beautiful.""It'll be soon, the application has already been submitted...""What kind of family does your second son's partner come from?" another woman asked gossipy.Mother Yun glanced at her and replied indifferently, "An ordinary family, what's there to say?" After saying that, Mother Yun didn't want to talk to her anymore, so she called her husband and left." Old Yun, you're home."After they walked away, the woman cursed behind their backs, "Pah... what's with the attitude? They're not even married yet, and they might not even marry into your family!""What bad luck, why did I have to run into that gossip?""Why are you angry? Just don't worry about it."Yun Huai led Li Man onto the train and found their sleeper compartment, which was empty for the time being.Yun Huai put her luggage away, while Li Mantook out the red envelope given to her by Mother Yun, opened it, and found ten large coins plus one dollar." Intimate reference to Yun Huai, guess how much money my aunt and uncle gave me in the red envelope?"One hundred and one yuan."How did you know?" Li Man's eyes widened.Yun Huai said with a laugh, "I overheard my parents saying that 101 means one in a hundred, which means my parents are saying that you, their daughter-in-law, are one in a hundred.""Your aunt and uncle are so kind. I didn't even get a proper gift for them this time." Li Man was happy but also a little guilty."Then you can prepare properly when you get back. When your parents come over, you can send them off."Are your aunt and uncle coming over? When?"My parents asked us when we're getting married. I thought of a suitable time, which is during the summer vacation. My younger sister and her family can bring my parents over. I'm sorry I didn't discuss this with you beforehand. It was my fault. If you don't want to, we can discuss another time.""I have no objection. It's just that it's more lively when the whole family comes. I want their blessings."
