Chapter 40 Preparations before joining the army
The jeep circled around Huaihua Village and returned to Gu's house. At this time, everyone was waiting here, and it was extremely lively.
Sheng Zexi took Gu Jianing's hand and got out of the car. In front of the elders of both parties and in front of the leader's portrait, they took an oath together, promising to stay together for the rest of their lives and become revolutionary partners.
"Okay!" With a loud shout, everyone applauded enthusiastically.
As the dishes were served one after another, the banquet also began.
The villagers who attended the wedding banquet knew that Sheng Zexi and the Gu family valued Gu Jianing, but they did not expect that they would attach such importance to a table of 10 dishes, all of which were divided into five meat and five vegetarian dishes.
And those meat dishes are not just a little meaty, but they are real, and there are a lot of meat dishes visible to the naked eye.
"It's such a big deal. How much does it cost?" someone lamented.
"No matter how much it costs, we will definitely have enough to eat."
"Yes, I want to eat well today."
Lu Weixian was shocked when he saw this table of dishes, especially the meat dishes, which almost made his mouth water.
He was very lucky to be invited by the Gu family today.
It has been more than two years since Lu Weixian went to the countryside. His relationship with the family in the city is not good, otherwise he would not have been sent to the countryside. The people in the city seem to treat him as a person who does not exist and will not send anything. For him, Lu Weixian is young and has lived very hard for more than two years. He can hardly eat meat all year round.
Therefore, he still looks very thin.
And now, how could he not be happy when he saw the table full of vegetables and meat.
Especially when the meat entered his mouth, he almost cried with joy.
Gu Jianing was also led by Sheng Zexi to sit down and eat together. After all, this was a table for the two of them, so they naturally had to be present.
According to the previous rules, Gu Jianing, the bride, was not qualified to participate in the banquet and should stay in the wedding room.
A while ago, Wen Zhuqing married into the Bao family, wasn't that the case?
But the Gu family and Sheng Zexi couldn't bear to let Gu Jianing go hungry. In addition, today is a new society, which is different from the old feudal society in the past.
This time at the banquet, the folks in Huaihua Village were so satisfied.
Lu Weixian and another female educated youth who were invited to participate received a lot of jealous looks and sarcastic remarks after returning to the educated youth camp.
But neither of them cared that much.
Having lived under the same roof for so long, they have long known whether these people are humans or ghosts.
Therefore, there is no need to deliberately make friends.
Don't worry about others, just live your own life, and let them talk about the rest.
After Gu Jianing finished his wedding banquet, he returned to the wedding room to rest.
She got up early and was busy, coupled with the nervousness and mental stress, she was exhausted physically and mentally. Now, as soon as she could rest, she fell asleep.
When Sheng Zexi came in, he saw his little wife sleeping soundly.
He slowly sat on the bed and looked at his young wife's peaceful and beautiful sleeping face, with a look of comfort between his brows and eyes.
He slowly leaned forward and placed a kiss on Gu Jianing's smooth forehead, then gently tucked her into the bed before leaving.
Gu Jianing slept very deeply and didn't wake up until after eating.
Gu Jianing was going to join the army, so what he bought was a train ticket for tomorrow. Sheng Zexi asked his comrades to buy two sleeper berth tickets for the train. After all, it took three days and two nights to take the train, which was a long time.
The train ticket is for tomorrow morning, so the luggage should be packed early tonight. The Gu family prepared a lot of things. After dinner, Gu Jianing was called into the room by her parents and gave her the gift money Sheng Zexi had given her before, as well as the money and tickets that were originally meant to be given to her.
Yao Chunhua also prepared thick, brand-new cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded jackets and quilts.
"We are going to the northwest now. It is the coldest time. Remember to wear these cotton-padded clothes and jackets. Don't be too troublesome to bring this quilt."
Yao Chunhua said, her eyes red, she couldn't bear it, her daughter had never left her side since she had grown so big, and now, she was going to the northwest, a place so far away and so cold.
"Mom, I know." Gu Jianing stepped forward and hugged her mother. Under her father's eager eyes, she went over and hugged her father.
These cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded jackets and quilts were all made day and night by her mother after she learned that she was getting married. How could she not bring them with them if she found it troublesome?
Even if it is a burden, it is a sweet burden.
"When you get there, the only person you can rely on is Sheng Xiaozi. Whenever something happens, the two of you should discuss it carefully and don't get angry, you know?" Dad Gu warned carefully.
"If you are missing something, just call or write back and your parents will send it to you."
"Yes, Mom and Dad, I know."

When I came out of my parents' room, several brothers and sisters-in-law also gave me things.
The sister-in-law gave her a thick red scarf that she knitted herself. Gu Jianing put it on and it fit very well. It was warm and made her skin look whiter and more delicate.
My eldest brother gave me a lot of tickets, all of which may be used when traveling to the Northwest.
"Sister-in-law, today is the last day of treatment. You will be able to get pregnant smoothly from now on. I hope I can hear the good news about you and my eldest brother soon after I arrive in the Northwest." Gu Jianing said.
"Hey, okay, okay, then I'll borrow your good advice from my sister-in-law." Yang Manman smiled happily.
As a person, she is most aware of the changes in her body that she has undergone recently under the treatment of her sister-in-law.
She already had the answer herself, but with her sister-in-law as a doctor, she became more confident.
My sister-in-law is really capable.
Perhaps, soon, she and her husband will be able to welcome their child.
The second brother and the second sister-in-law directly gave him a lot of pickled meat, which he had hunted in the mountains recently.
"I heard that in the northwest, when there is heavy snow, the mountains will be closed, and those who lack food and clothing will be pickled and can be stored for a long time."
"Bring them all with you. If you don't have enough by then, tell me."
"Second brother, there are too many. Leave some for the second sister-in-law. The second sister-in-law just gave birth to the baby not long ago, so she needs to make up for it."
Second sister-in-law Su Miao shook her head, "Ningning, just take it. If I need it, your second brother will get it later. It's more convenient for us to get it, but it won't be convenient for you then."< br>
Although he couldn't refuse, Gu Jianing had no choice but to take it.
As for the third brother, Gu Yunzhou, he just handed her a small box. When she returned to the room to look at it, she discovered that there were many beautiful jade jewelry, many of which were of very good quality and very beautiful.
Gu Jianing couldn't laugh or cry, knowing that the third brother knew that she liked beautiful accessories, so he went to collect them specially.
Although these things are not very valuable now, they will be valuable in future generations.
The things given by my three brothers and sister-in-law are very thoughtful and precious.
Gu Jianing's eyes were slightly hot, and he was very moved.
