Chapter 1607: Chapter 1607 Han Ping’s Wedding 1
Hearing Feng Qingxue’s question, Han Ping’s dark, rough face turned a bit red.
“So you’ve gotten married?” Feng Qingxue teased him.
Han Ping coughed, embarrassed, and said, “Not yet, just got engaged. Since retiring, I’ve been busy with work. People introduced to a few girls, but nothing worked out until early winter this year when I t soone. It didn’t take long before we decided to get engaged.”
Feng Qingxue felt relieved, “That’s good, that’s good. She must be a very nice young lady.”
Han Ping nodded vigorously, and the smile on his face indicated that Feng Qingxue was right.
Lu Jiang asked about his current job situation and learned that he was assigned to the local police station, with decent treatnt all around. He was sowhat considered a cadre, and the girl he was engaged to was the niece of the police station chief, a nurse who didn’t require his mother to take care of the children, nor demanded a hefty bride price or lavish gifts, and had a rather good character.
When Feng Qingxue heard this, she imdiately knew why the previous matches didn’t work out. One probably wanted Han Ping’s mother to take care of the kids, and another had excessively high demands for the bride price.
Although she didn’t know that Han Ping’s hotown was near Wucheng, Feng Qingxue was aware of his family situation.
He was a soldier from a rural background, with his mother living in the village, an older brother, and a younger brother, all married with children. A bunch of kids relied on his mother to look after them. During the years he was in the army, his brothers took care of their mother, and he could only send so living expenses, feeling guilty inside. Naturally, he didn’t want to trouble his aging mother with taking care of his own kids once he got married, and he might not be able to afford a high bride price.
“When is the wedding date set?” Lu Jiang asked.
Han Ping laughed, “The twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month. It’s a good day, no taboos. If you and sister-in-law are free, please co and have a drink.”
Lu Jiang readily agreed, “If there’s no mission, I’ll definitely be there.”
No matter what, Han Ping had followed him before, so he had to show up for Han Ping.
“Thank you, boss!” Han Ping’s face lit up with joy, “By the way, how co you’re here? Have you been transferred to the Wucheng unit? That’s great; I didn’t expect you’d be so close.”
“I’ll be stationed in the unit for a few years. If anything cos up, just co to the unit to find us. Don’t be polite with your own brothers,” Feng Qingxue said, and then asked with concern, “How’s your old knee problem? It’s freezing out with snow; why aren’t you resting at ho? Since you’re far away from us, I can’t send the dicinal oil to you. If it still hurts, co find us at the unit and get so. We’ve made a lot more in recent years.”
As soon as she ntioned it, Han Ping’s joint throbbed slightly, and he quickly said, “Alright, I’ll co over and get so dicine from sister-in-law. After you left, I also got soone to make the oil according to your recipe, but it’s just not as effective as yours.”
The recipe for the dicinal oil was not only given to the governnt but also copied for many soldiers. At that ti, neither Feng Qingxue nor Wu Zheng had any selfish motives.
dicine is for saving lives, and secret recipes are not a part of their lives. Throughout history, many secret recipes were lost because their owners were too stingy with them.
Feng Qingxue said, “Alright, you go ahead and get busy. We’ll get going.”
“Don’t go, sister-in-law, it’s rare to et like this. Let treat you and the boss to a al. The economy has improved a lot over the years, and the supply in state-owned restaurants is many tis better than ten years ago.” Han Ping was indeed well-mannered.
Lu Jiang checked his watch. It was 8:30 AM. They had left early without having breakfast, so he agreed.
The three of them moved to a state-owned restaurant, and Han Ping ordered a whole bunch of breakfast items in one go.
