Chapter 346 Marriage
Chapter 346 Marriage
Lao Ding has always wanted to marry a well-educated and polite woman who can talk to him about everything under the sun and tell him stories of the past and present.
Especially after seeing his old comrade-in-arms and old classmate Jiang Defu marry An Jie, he became even more envious.
It's just that his choice this time is not very reliable. Doctor Wu has unclear relationships with many men on the island.
If he really gets together with her, Old Ding will probably be in big trouble.
But that's their own business. For now, the only one who is anxious and doesn't want to see Lao Ding and Medical Assistant Wu together is Jiang Dehua.
At Commander Jiang Defu's house, Gu Yu had just returned home from sending the letter to An Yi when he was pulled into the room by Jiang Dehua.
"Xiao Yu, normally your aunt loves you the most, right? Now that my brother and sister-in-law don't care about me anymore, I can only ask you for advice. You are the smartest in our family."
Jiang Dehua was really at a loss. Originally, she had a neighbor lady to help her with ideas, but now she was left to fight alone.
Jiang Defu and An Jie didn't ignore her. They both came forward to talk to Lao Ding.
Jiang Defu knew what Lao Ding was thinking and naturally knew that his sister was not Lao Ding's ideal type.
Anjie's conversation with Lao Ding was not a pleasant one. He scolded Lao Ding harshly and also realized that Lao Ding really didn't like Dehua.
Now Jiang Dehua is the only one who insists and is determined to marry Lao Ding.
"Aunt, why does your accent change when you're anxious? Marriage depends on the willingness of both parties. It's not something that can be decided just by your wish." Gu Yu replied with a smile.
"Xiao Yu, you don't care about me anymore? There is no hope for this?" Jiang Dehua looked depressed when he heard this.
"Aunt, you don't understand what I mean. Both my parents and I hope that you can be happy. As far as I know, they have talked to Uncle Ding.
Do you remember that when I got my first month's salary, I gave you a dressing mirror? That was the dowry I prepared for you in advance.
The key point of this matter is not you, but Uncle Ding. Why do you think he wants to marry Doctor Wu?"
Gu Yu waved his hand, signaling Jiang Dehua not to misunderstand, and then explained.
"What else? Because she's educated and pretty." Jiang Dehua curled his lips.
"What do you think is the thing that a man can't stand his wife doing the most?" Gu Yu asked.
"What's the most unbearable?" Jiang Dehua muttered in a low voice while thinking.
"His wife is cheating on him!" Jiang Dehua looked as if he suddenly understood everything.
"Xiaoyu, you are smart. Doctor Wu is just a vixen, flirting with men everywhere.
I will go and tell Lao Ding about her true identity right now. I can’t let him jump into the fire pot.”
Jiang Dehua stood up and was about to go out excitedly, but Gu Yu quickly stopped her.
"Aunt, you can't tell this, otherwise it might have a counterproductive effect." Gu Yu looked at Jiang Dehua's puzzled expression and said seriously.
"Listen to me, go find my dad and ask him to tell Uncle Ding,
As an old comrade and classmate of Uncle Ding, he can empathize with him as a man. "Gu Yu went on to explain.
"Why did you let your dad say that? What do you mean by empathy?" Jiang Dehua's expression was a little unnatural after hearing that, probably because he thought of something.
"If you believe me, just repeat our conversation today to him, and he will naturally know how to talk to Uncle Ding.
Aunt, do you still want to marry Uncle Ding? Why are you so timid when I suggest something? "
Gu Yu frowned slightly, not understanding why Jiang Dehua was hesitant.
"Okay! I'll listen to you. I'll go find my brother right away!"
Well, it’s my hometown accent again.
Jiang Dehua clenched his fists to encourage himself, made up his mind, and nodded heavily.
After listening to his sister's story about her conversation with Gu Yu, Jiang Defu thought for a moment, said he understood, and then hung up the phone.
Jiang Defu sat at his desk, thinking about how to tell Lao Ding about this. He also knew how stubborn his sister was.
This might be Dehua's last chance, and he doesn't want to see Lao Ding find a dishonest woman.
He stood up and walked back and forth in the office. Then he came up with an idea and picked up the phone.
"Hello, connect me to the Political Department."
The next day, things suddenly took a turn for the worse. Old Ding and medical assistant Wu, who had originally submitted a report to get married, broke up.
Jiang Dehua told Gu Yu the information she found out from the military dependents’ area intelligence network.
Lao Ding went to ask for advice from Assistant Doctor Wu, but they ended up having a huge argument and Lao Ding's face was scratched.
Jiang Dehua felt relieved but also a little distressed. Gu Yu smiled and told her that good things were about to happen, luckily he had saved some money recently.
Being teased by her nephew, the aunt was naturally a little shy, so she left Gu Yu's room on the pretext of cooking.
As a result, not long after, Gu Yu saw Jiang Dehua carrying a bundle of firewood out of the door.
After Lao Ding's second marriage went through many twists and turns, he was really tired.
Maybe God didn't want him to find a well-educated and cultured woman.
And after what happened with Doctor Wu, Old Ding also felt that the best woman should be one who is considerate and can take care of him and his children.
Soon, Lao Ding confessed his love to Jiang Dehua, and the two finally got together. He was upgraded from Uncle Ding to Uncle-in-law.
Gu Yu took out all the salary he had saved in the past few months. There was no other way. Butler An Jie never had any money left.
Jiang Defu and An Jie were both paid 74 yuan a month in , but they failed to save any money.
They prepared a generous dowry for Jiang Dehua when she got married.
In addition to four sets of clothes, cloth shoes, and quilts, there are also flower umbrellas, washbasins, washbasin stands, thermoses, flashlights, etc.
In addition, several wooden boxes were prepared, including a high-quality rosewood box that Anjie brought as a dowry.
Even the betrothal gift that Lao Ding was supposed to prepare was paid by Jiang Defu's family, who also helped buy a sewing machine and a radio.
As for bicycle watches, you either have them or you don't need them, so don't waste your money on them.
Because of the previous things, Gu Yucun’s salary was almost spent.
Lao Ding has elderly parents and young children to take care of, and he can't save much from his monthly salary.
In short, thanks to the efforts of Jiang Defu's family, Jiang Dehua's marriage was very decent.
An Ran, who had been transferred to the island that day and worked in the cultural troupe, also put on makeup for Jiang Dehua.
Wearing her newly made Zhongshan suit, the bride went out happily.
On the wedding night, what made Old Ding laugh and cry was that Jiang Dehua, who was already 44 years old, was still a virgin.
After getting married, Lao Ding's quality of life has indeed improved a lot, and his home has become more lively and popular, but Jiang Defu's old age also makes him a little distressed.
Lao Ding looked around the table. Xiaoyu had paid a lot of money for their wedding, so they could eat whatever they wanted.
The children now recognize him as their uncle and elder, so they just accept him as their uncle.
Looking at Jiang Defu and An Jie again, he felt unhappy. This in-laws were really rude.
"Ever since your sister married me, your whole family has been coming to my place every now and then to get free food and drinks, leaving me with insufficient food." Old Ding said, shaking his head.
