Zhang Yan Jie's parents also went to attend the banquet at Old Liu's. Today, the only people in her home was the four-person study group.
Apricot village was not a big village. There were only around 100 residents. If there was one family that had a wedding, every family would go.
Banquets in the village were mostly of the kind where guests arrived at various times and were served food as they arrive. Whoever came first would eat first. After finishing, the next dish would be served.
Old Liu's family had a total of seven rooms. It was just enough to serve everyone. If it was a normal person's home, they would need to borrow rooms from their neighbors.
During these kinds of happy occasions, the host would borrow utensils, chairs, tables, and other objects from other families. Just a few days ago, Liu Da had come to borrow chairs and tables from Su Mian's family.
Zhang Yan Jie had changed into a new cotton-padded jacket for the day. She even raised her chest higher but Li Ya Jun only swept her a glance and did not raise his head anymore.
Zhang Yan Jie was simply too much. They were a study group, not in a mixer.
Wei Min curled her lips and chatted with Su Mian, "I heard that Liu Da's wedding furniture was made by your dad. My mom also saw the new furniture yesterday and exclaimed that it was beautiful. She even said that she would ask your father to make my brother a set for his wedding."
"Your brother is getting married?" Hearing that Wei Zhen Hui was about to be married, Su Mian's palpitation increased, and her voice went higher. She couldn't hear anything else but the thumping of her heart.
Even Li Ya Jun, who had his head lowered as he studied, raised his head to look at her. It was only then that Su Mian realized her tone and quickly explained, "Isn't brother Wei a part of the Interstellar Army?"
"Who knows. Yesterday, I heard my mom and Su Hong's mom discussing about it. It seems that their family has taken a fancy for my brother. However, I really don't like Su Hong. She is clearly studying to become an interstellar military doctor, but she keeps returning home! My brother had been in the army for one year without any rest! Moreover, when Liu Da had been injured, she was clearly being careful about ruining her reputation. She was an interstellar military doctor, but she went into hiding during such a crucial moment. I don't want her to be my sister-in-law."
Wei Min then looked at Su Mian and inched closer, "If only you were a bit older, I could pair you two up. You are even prettier than Su Hong, and you can save lives. My brother might like you more. How great would it be for you to become my sister-in-law."
"What drivel are you saying!" Su Mian's face blushed. Wei Zhen Hui did like her, liked her for his entire life without letting go.
"Oh, oh, oh. You can still feel shame," Wei Min jeered, causing the bashful Li Ya Jun to be unable to look away from her.
Su Mian, although young, was already beautiful. Her skin was white as snow and her eyebrows were dark as an umber-black dye. Her big eyes were especially clear and spirited. Now that her face was like red clouds, he began looking at it stupidly.
He previously admired Su Mian's beauty, but he was cowardly and could only be like a neighborhood brother to her. However, this girl had been making him have a whole new level of respect for her recently. She performed deeds with great magnanimity and could even save lives in times of emergency.
Even when Mrs. Xiao had been spreading bad rumors about her, she did not let former enmity cloud her and saved Lao Wu. This kind of kindhearted girl was the type that he liked.
Seeing Li Ya Jun's stupid expression, Zhang Yan Jia was so angry that her small chest undulated.
Su Mian you vixen. You truly make trouble wherever you go.
Su Mian's heart could not stay calm. It seemed that in her previous life, Su Hong's family had already taken fancy at Wei Zhen Hui at this time.
Wei Zhen Hui was only 25 years old but was already a captain. His prospects were boundless, so it was normal for people to talk about his marriage.
It was indeed so as Wei Min continued, "My brother is quite popular. The people who come to propose marriage had almost stepped my doorstep flat. Even my mom's nitpicking eyes had already become blurry these days."
For the entire morning, Su Mian was not able to take in a single word from her textbooks. Her mind was only filled with Wei Min's words.
She did not know what to do now. If it followed her previous life, Wei Zhen Hui would carry out a military mission. Moreover, he would be injured from it. This meant that he was now preparing for battle.
Where should she go to meet him once?
At noon, Su Mian and Wei Min left first. Li Ya Jun was slow in putting away his things and left last.
But before he even reached the doorstep, he was suddenly hugged by someone from behind.
