  “Nan Nan, it must be hard with your studies. You must have more nutritious food. You must not follow the young ladies nowadays who feel that they must lose weight to look pretty. Having a healthy body is more important than anything. Zhai Sheng and you can collect the certificate of marriage next year. If you have a healthy body and are fleshy, it will be easier for you to bear a grandchild for our family.”

  “Mom, have some meat.” Zhai Sheng picked a piece of meat with his chopsticks and passed it to Miao Jing so that he could stop her from talking. However, he was indeed thinking about the same topic as his mother.

  Unfortunately, Nan Nan was still young, and she was conservative and proper.

  When it was only the two of them, Nan Nan would listen to him and follow his cue. But when there were other people around, it would not be easy to have the grandchild that his mother was thinking of.

  “Yes, eat, let’s eat.” Miao Jing came to her senses when she noticed that Qiao Nan’s face had turned red from embarrassment. Unlike her, who was an attractive and experienced lady of a certain age, Qiao Nan was still an innocent, young girl and she would be easily embarrassed. “Nan Nan, after we go back to Ping Cheng this time, we will pay a visit to your dad. Collecting a marriage certificate is a very important event. We will discuss the wedding banquet with your dad.”

  Collecting the marriage certificate meant they would be legally married.

  They would be husband and wife. Zhai Sheng was the only son in the Zhai family. Miao Jing felt that even if they would not hold a grand banquet, they would still have to go through the necessary procedures.

  Qiao Nan blinked profusely. Brother Zhai had mentioned collecting the marriage certificate previously.

  She remembered they had talked about collecting the marriage certificate previously and right now, they had gone on to discuss the wedding banquet.

  While Qiao Nan was in a daze, both Zhai Sheng and Miao Jing kept staring at her. This was the marriage between Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng. The Zhai family might be anxious about it, but Qiao Nan’s attitude mattered a lot as well.

  The Zhai family was quite concerned about one particular issue. Zhai Sheng was already at an age where he could be a father, but the problem was that Qiao Nan was still young. She had just entered college.

  The time now was different. Miao Jing knew that some people believed in non-marriage doctrine, and many young people did not want to marry at an early age and have children.

  Miao Jing had no idea what Qiao Nan’s views about this were.

  \r \r \r

  Miao Jing brought up the topic of marriage so as to know Qiao Nan’s views on it.

  In fact, Miao Jing felt slightly embarrassed that her son was older. Therefore, she seemed to be hurrying Qiao Nan. If Qiao Nan had some other considerations, she would think of ways to slow things down.

  Actually, Zhai Sheng felt slightly anxious when Miao Jing broached the topic.

  Zhai Sheng had always taken the initiative in their relationship, while Qiao Nan was the passive party. If they wanted to collect the marriage certificate, Qiao Nan had to be willing as well. Zhai Sheng had the same worry as Miao Jing.

  Both of them were concerned that Qiao Nan was still too young.

  Right then, Qiao Nan looked up and fixed her gaze at Zhai Sheng. Her voice was soft but resolute. “Okay.”

  After thinking about it, Qiao Nan added. “In this regard, Brother Zhai and I have no experience. Mom, the three of you can go ahead to discuss it. Brother Zhai is busy and he may not know the details. Like me, he will not be able to take part in the discussion. We will have to trouble the three of you to help us with it. We will go ahead with whatever that you have discussed and agreed upon. Brother Zhai and I have no opinions regarding this.”

  One of them had to spend her time at school, while the other party had to spend his time at the camp.

  Qiao Nan knew this very well from the first day she started going out with Zhai Sheng.

  Now that Miao Jing brought up the topic of holding a wedding banquet, Qiao Nan was very clear that she and Zhai Sheng would not be able to be in charge of the wedding banquet and make decisions for themselves like ordinary married couples.

  The two of them had no time to handle the details of the wedding banquet. Therefore, they would have to trouble their parents.

  Back when Miao Jing married Zhai Yaohui, they held a grand wedding banquet. Miao Jing should have some experience.

  Qiao Dongliang’s situation was very different. He did not have any elders or siblings at home. Furthermore, his marriage to Ding Jiayi was not blessed by the Ding family.

  Therefore, Ding Jiayi and Qiao Dongliang married in a rush. She did not go through the procedures that brides would have to go through.

  This was the first time that Qiao Dongliang married his daughter off, and he did not know much about wedding preparations. This meant that if Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng held a wedding banquet, Qiao Dongliang would not be able to give much contribution or ideas.

  Zhai Yaohui was the chief and he was a man.

  No matter how Qiao Nan thought about it, instead of saying that she would have to trouble her father and Zhai Sheng’s parents, in fact, Miao Jing had to work the hardest among the three of them. “Mom, perhaps you can choose one of those longer holidays. I don’t have any experience, but I will try my best to help you.”

  After all, she was the party concerned. Since Brother Zhai could not help out, she had to play her part.

  Miao Jing was elated. Qiao Nan not only agreed to it, but she also wanted to help out. “Good. It’s good that you agreed to it. Since we still have time, we can take our time to discuss the details. Since we have confirmed that both of you will marry next year, I can estimate and order the number of wedding candies that are needed.”

  “Sure,” Qiao Nan replied.

  wa

  “Alright. I will discuss it with your dad after returning to Ping Cheng this time.” Miao Jing was overjoyed. She was finally going to have a daughter-in-law. The Zhai family was really going to have a daughter-in-law!

  Thereafter, she would be getting ready to have her grandchildren!

  Miao Jing, who was all smiles, could imagine her grandchildren addressing her as their grandma.

  Zhai Sheng tightened his grip on Qiao Nan’s hands, conveying his deep feelings for her.

  Zhai Sheng realized that women were indeed very different from men. His only thought was to marry Nan Nan as soon as possible. After collecting the marriage certificate, they would be lawful husband and wife and could be intimate with each other.

  However, Nan Nan was more concerned that marriage was not a simple matter. There were a lot of details and complicated procedures to be sorted out. It was far more complex than what he had imagined.

  Zhai Sheng finally understood why his mother kept saying that it was wonderful to have a considerate daughter.

  Both he and Zhai Hua would not be able to think of such details. “Nan Nan, will you……” It was their wedding, and he was more anxious than her.

  But in the end, he would not be able to help out and he had to trouble his mother. It would also be hard on Nan Nan.

  Qiao Nan was still young. She had just reached the legal age and she was hurried into collecting the marriage certificate. Zhai Sheng felt that everything seemed to be unfair to Qiao Nan. He wanted to give her the best, but in the end, she could not even get something that ordinary women would have.

  “No!” Qiao Nan grabbed Zhai Sheng’s hand. “Brother Zhai, have you forgotten? From the very first day that we started dating, I knew very well that you are a soldier. I also know that after marriage, I will be a military wife, and I know what kind of future is waiting for me.”
