Chapter 718 [Wedding] (Part 1)

Song Huaiming knew that Chu Zhennan's attitude towards him suddenly changed because of this reason, not because Chu Zhennan really forgave him. He understood his father-in-law's painstaking efforts. Chu Zhennan didn't want him to remain in a permanent estrangement with Yanran.

Chu Zhennan held Yanran's hand. Until now, Chu Yanran still didn't know how to face her father. If it weren't for her grandfather forcing her to face this, she would rather choose to avoid it. Chu Zhennan said: "I have always been dissatisfied with old age in the past, but when I get old, I'm old. Yanran grows up day by day and can manage such a large consortium. Logically, I don't need to worry, but in my eyes, she is still a child, and I still can't rest assured."

Song Huaiming smiled and said, "Dad, in the eyes of parents, children are always children regardless of whether they grow up."

Chu Zhennandao: "Looking back on the past ten years, I have given Yanran as much as possible. I want her to grow up healthily, and I will do my best to protect her."

Song Huaiming said with emotion: "Dad, you have done a good job!"

Chu Zhennan shook his head and whispered: "It's not good enough, do you know why I want you to come?"

Although Song Huaiming understood in his heart, he didn't say it.

Chu Zhennan said: "Since Jingzhi's death, I blamed you for her death and refused to let you take care of Yanran because of this. It can be said that the gap between you and Yanran was caused by me."

Song Huaiming said: "Dad, so many years have passed before the incident."

Chu Zhennan said: "I finally found out that I was wrong. I shouldn't have deprived you of your rights as a father because of Jingzhi's affairs. Yanran has lost her mother's love, and I have made her lose her father's love. I'm sorry to Yanran."

Chu Yanran said with tears in her eyes: "Grandpa, don't say that. I have been having a happy life for more than ten years."

Chu Zhennan shook his head: "Mother's love cannot be replaced, and father's love cannot be replaced either." His eyes turned to Song Huaiming and said: "As a father, I have the responsibility to protect my daughter."

Song Huaiming nodded vigorously and said, "I will protect Yanran."

Chu Zhennan smiled and said, "It's time to hand over this responsibility to you."

Chu Yanran said: "Grandpa, I can take care of myself."

Chu Zhennan smiled and said, "I believe that my concern for you is selfless. It is not just me who really cares about you in this world, but your father is the same." He held his granddaughter's hand, solemnly placed it in Song Huaiming's palm, and held their hands together with force.

Chu Yanran was originally resistant, but her grandfather's insistence forced her to do so. Her father's big hands were very warm. This warmth made her feel at ease and gave her a sense of security. Chu Yanran raised her head and met her father's jealous eyes, her heart trembled for no reason.

Song Huaiming looked at his daughter and whispered: "I'm sorry!"

Chu Yanran bit her lips tightly and forced herself not to shed tears.

Chu Zhennandao: "Yanran, he will always be your father!"

Chu Yanran nodded and said softly: "Dad!" Although the voice was very small, the sound hit the tenderest part of Song Huaiming's heart like a bullet. Song Huaiming, who had never easily revealed his feelings in front of others, had red eyes at this time, and tears flashed in his eyes. Over the years, he has always been looking forward to his daughter being able to recognize her father, but now it has finally become a reality. Song Huaiming can't even believe his ears. He can't believe that all this is true.

Song Huaiming held his daughter's hand tightly: "Good daughter..." His voice trembled a little.

Chu Zhennan patted Yanran's back of his hand and said softly: "Yanran, go out and help with the arrangements. I have something to say to your father alone."

Chu Yanran stood up and left, with only two left in the room, Song Huaiming and Chu Zhennan. Song Huaiming said: "Dad, thank you!"

Chu Zhennan sighed and said, "It's good to be dead. I don't have much time left. I finally figured out many things. Whether I forgive you or not, I can't deny the fact that you are Yanran's father. I have no right to deprive Yanran of the fatherly love she deserves."

Song Huaiming knew that Chu Zhennan had not really forgiven him, so he whispered: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Yanran."

Chu Zhennan said: "I can't rest assured Yanran. Although that boy Zhang Yang just proposed to her, I still don't rest assured about this boy."

Song Huaiming said: "He is uncertain, but with me here, he dare not bully my daughter!"

Chu Zhennandao: "There is something I always want to ask you, why did you insist on letting Jingzhi stay?"

Song Huaiming was speechless. He pursed his lips, and the expression on his face was extremely painful. Suddenly he knelt in front of Chu Zhennan: "I'm sorry, dad! If I had thought more about Jingzhi at that time, things would not have happened. I just thought that party members and cadres should set an example. I was afraid that others would gossip, so..."

Chu Zhennan shook his head and said, "Do you want others to say you are selfless, do you want to add chips to your political future?"

Song Huaiming said with red eyes: "Dad, in that situation, I really didn't think of my political future, I swear!"

Chu Zhennan said: "Get up, I won't mention this again. If you are really kind to Jingzhi, then take good care of Yanran and don't let her suffer any harm."

"I promise!"

Zhang Yang and everyone were decorating the wedding scene together in the living room. A bunch of red lanterns were hung in the room, and a bunch of red peppers and golden corn were hung on the wall. Margaret was decorating the wedding scene according to the way she remembered in her past. The old lady sat on the sofa and cut the Xige with her own hands.

Chen Chongshan entered the building accompanied by Xie Zhiguo. The scene in front of him surprised him. With everyone's joint efforts, this place almost became the revolutionary base of that year. Margaret put down her scissors and smiled and said to Chen Chongshan: "Old Chen, welcome to our wedding!"

Chen Chongshan nodded vigorously. Xie Zhiguo had already told him everything on the way he came.

Hong Changwu walked in with a stack of clothes. This was the Eighth Route Army uniform he borrowed from the art troupe. Hong Changwu said to Chu Yanran: "Yanran, give these clothes to everyone!"

Chu Yanran took it and distributed the military uniforms to everyone. Everyone changed into the Eighth Route Army uniforms. Chu Yanran tied up two braids, and Chen Chongshan demonstrated on the spot how to gait leggings.

Chu Zhennan changed into military uniform and walked out of the room, looking energetic. He strode to Chen Chongshan, happily holding Chen Chongshan's hands and said, "Neal, you are finally here!"

Chen Chongshan smiled and said, "How can I not come for your marriage? What about the bride?"

Chu Yanran smiled and said, "The bride went to the room to dress up!"

Chu Zhennan looked around the small building and murmured: "It seems that something is missing?"

Chen Chongshan said: "There is no portrait of Chairman Mao!"

Chu Zhennan Road: "Opinion, opponent, Changwu, hurry up! There is also! Party flag! Party flag!"

Zhang Yang hung the lantern and got off the escalator. Although the work was not heavy, his forehead was covered with sweat. In order to awaken Chu Zhennan, his skills were greatly damaged this time, and it took a long time to recover.

When Chu Yanran saw him sweating profusely, she walked over with some distress and used an Aries belly towel to help him wipe the sweat off his forehead.

Zhang Yang put on the military cap after wiping his sweat.

Chu Zhennan walked over, solemnly helped Zhang Yang to quilt Feng, and helped him correct his military cap. Sheng Ruohong said: "If you join a soldier, you must look like you are a soldier!"

Zhang Yang stood at attention and saluted Chu Zhennan and said, "Yes! Chief!"

Chu Zhennan laughed, and he patted Zhang Yang on the shoulder and said, "Okay! He is like my grandson and son-in-law!"

Song Huaiming also walked out in military uniform, but Chu Zhennan was quite dissatisfied with his outfit, shook his head, came to Song Huaiming, and helped him sort out his clothes: "You, you have no military temperament at all!" In fact, this is also the reason why Chu Zhennan was a little dissatisfied with Song Huaiming, his son-in-law back then. He originally wanted his daughter to marry a real soldier.

Chen Chongshan called Song Huaiming over and taught him to beat the leggings.

Gray military uniform, white cotton socks, round cloth shoes, bright red party flag, bright red peppers, golden corn, the small building seemed to have traveled through time and space in an instant, coming to that era of war.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Margaret was wearing a red cotton jacket, a dark blue wool skirt, a braid like Chu Yanran, and a gray military cap. There was also a bright red five-star on the military cap. She walked towards Chu Zhennan with her granddaughter.

Chu Zhennan looked at Margaret, and his eyes showed infinite affection. He seemed to see the beautiful and passionate female reporter back then. The vicissitudes of time have changed their appearance, but they cannot change the deep affection that is comparable to Jin Jian in their hearts.

The two stood together, standing in front of Chairman Mao's portrait, and under the bright red party flag.

Chen Chongshan shouted with excitement: "I announce that the transnational wedding of Comrade Chu Zhennan and Miss Margaret has officially begun!"

Applause, firecrackers, and laughter are intertwined, making this ordinary night warm and romantic.

Chen Chongshan said: "Comrade Chu Zhennan, are you willing to marry Margaret? Love her and be loyal to her, no matter she is poor, sick or disabled, or until she dies, are you willing?"

Chu Zhennan nodded vigorously: "I do, I do!"

Chen Chongshan said to Margaret: "Margaret, are you willing to marry Chu Zhennan? Love him and be loyal to him, no matter he is poor, sick or disabled, or until he dies? Are you willing?"

Margaret smiled and said, "I am willing, I have spent my whole life loving him. I will always be loyal to him. No matter he is rich or poor, no matter he is proud or frustrated, no matter he is alive or dead, there is nothing in this world that can separate us..." When Margaret said this, tears had already fallen.

Chu Zhennan held Margaret's hand, and Margaret said gently: "Am I beautiful?"
