"ah--"

Ivy was stunned, and then she covered her mouth in excitement. She was afraid that she would not be able to control her tears, but the tears still flowed down.

Fortunately, they were on the high platform. Now there were only two of them in the helicopter cabin. She no longer had to control herself and couldn't help but throw herself into Xiao Yan's arms.

Xiao Yan took advantage of the situation and hugged her into his arms.

"Is it worth it?"

Ivy asked in tears.

"It's worth it, of course it's worth it!" Xiao Yan hugged her tightly and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "But it's only three things, do you still need me to beg you again?"

"I do! I do! I do!"

Ivy burst into laughter and said yes three times in a row.

"Then let's strike while the iron is hot and just hold the wedding together." Xiao Yan looked into her eyes with a smile.

Ivy was startled, then shook her head, and rolled her eyes at him: "You're too quick, I'm not ready yet, and I have to ask my parents for their opinions."

"Your parents?"

Xiao Yan was a little surprised, and his expression changed slightly, "Didn't the Ai family disappear into thin air?"

To be honest, Xiao Yan doesn't have the slightest fondness for the Ai family, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with the Ai family anymore.

Ivy smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "That's right, since I became pregnant with Amy, my parents were ostracized by the Ai family and left the Ai family in anger."

"Um?"

Xiao Yan frowned slightly, he didn't expect that there was such a hidden meaning in it.

Ivy continued: "Now they have opened a small company outside. Although my father is still angry with me and does not want to see me, my mother secretly helped Amy and I when we were in the most difficult times. Otherwise, otherwise

I can't stand it."

Seeing Xiao Yan's expressionless face, she sighed quietly: "Xiao Yan, they are different from other Ai family members. I hope you don't have other ideas."

Xiao Yan nodded silently. It would be impossible to say that he had no idea. But no matter what, he decided to meet her parents before talking about it.

…

The grand proposal ceremony brought Liangcheng something to talk about after dinner, and countless people were talking about it.

However, the two protagonists have returned to the basement of their humble dwelling with their daughters.

From heaven to hell, it's like a dream.

The narrow, dark corridor and the ten-meter-square single room without windows exuded a damp smell. This is where Ivy and Amy lived for five years.

Aunt Hai asked Ivy to live in her house, but Ivy did not agree. She worked in a small restaurant and her income was very meager, which was just enough for the couple to make ends meet, and there was no extra money to give to Aunt Hai.

Besides, Aunt Hai's house only has one bedroom and one living room, which is not convenient to live in, so Ivy would rather live here.

The house is small, with almost no other furnishings except a small bed and an old wardrobe, but it is very clean.

Ivy did not give in because of the difficulty of life. It can be seen that Ivy was always very attentive and did everything within her power to create a small home as warm as possible for Amy.

It wasn't Xiao Yan's first time here, but every time he came he felt frustrated. His wife and daughter were living in this kind of environment, not much better than refugees.

But he never showed it. The past is in the past. Everything in the future is left to him. He will do his best to let the two of them live a happy and prosperous life.

"Commander Ren helped me apply for a house, pay the mortgage, and everything is included. You clean it up and we will move there in the afternoon." Xiao Yan lied.

Ivy was stunned for a moment, and said uneasily: "We can't take it for granted that people are helping us like this. I still have more than two thousand yuan here, why don't you use it to buy some cigarettes and alcohol to express your gratitude."

As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag from under the pillow. There were only a few hundred-yuan bills in it, and the rest were all scattered small-value bills.

I don’t know how long she has been saving.

"I originally saved it for Amy to go to school. Now that you are back, we will work hard together and it will be easier to save more."

Xiao Yan rubbed his sore nose vigorously and held back his tears.

"You keep it for now. I still have some money with me. I'll thank him later, so you don't have to worry about it."

Ivy stared at him for a while and forced a smile: "I don't blame you. I spent a lot of money today. There will be many ways to use money in the future, so we still have to save some money."

As she said that, she put the money into his hand, "Take this money and buy some good cigarettes and wine, and then ask Commander Ren to help find a job."

Xiao Yan smiled: "You have so little confidence in me?"

Ivy rolled her eyes at him: "I believe you are very powerful in the army, otherwise Commander Ren would not value you so much, but the army is an army after all, and it is different from the local area."

"Well, I'll take it first."

Xiao Yan didn't insist anymore and carefully put away the stack of hard-earned money she had saved.

In fact, there wasn't much to collect, mainly some bits and pieces of clothes that I couldn't bear to throw away.

Seeing that the city defense army had sent a truck to help them move, Ivy hurried to the supermarket in front of the community and bought two packs of cigarettes. She was the kind of person who didn't like to owe favors.

Xiao Yan saw it and said nothing.

The new home is in a mid-range community in Liangcheng. It belongs to the preferential housing of the City Defense Army. The original owner changed his job and left Liangcheng, and the house was converted into a discount and returned to the City Defense Army for disposal.

According to the retirement resettlement regulations, Xiao Yan is eligible to purchase. The price is 30% lower than the market price, and there are schools and supermarkets nearby. It can be said that the conditions are quite good, which makes Ivy overjoyed.

Xiao Yan can give her a bigger surprise, but he is afraid of scaring her, so it is better to eat the steamed buns one bite at a time. He believes that she is more willing to fight with him and create a better life with her hands.

"Wow, we have a new home, that's great!"

Little Amy was the happiest, running back and forth in the room, curiously looking here and touching there.

Seeing her so happy, Ivy felt even more grateful to have made that call. If Xiao Yan hadn't made up her mind at the last moment, Xiao Yan would still be kept in the dark, and there would be no family of three now.

The house has been cleaned, and the windows are thoughtfully opened for ventilation. There is no peculiar smell inside, and all daily necessities are available. You can almost move in with just your bags.

Seeing the brand-new kitchen supplies, Ivy asked Xiao Yan suspiciously: "Aren't these left by the original owner?"

"I bought it because I wanted to give you a surprise." Xiao Yan smiled.

In fact, he didn't know that this house was purchased by Hongchenyue and had nothing to do with Ren Heihu. However, Hongchenyue could never be exposed, so he could only make up a lie to get through.

Ivy is a very tidy person, so she cleaned it up herself.

Firecrackers were set off again to mark the official move-in.

It is customary to have the first dinner in a new home at home. When going to the supermarket to buy food, Ivy was generous and bought a lot of delicious food. She even bought a bottle of red wine and almost spent all her money.

.

Xiao Yan refused to pay her, saying that she had to pay for tonight's meal.

Of course Xiao Yan let her go, as long as she was happy.

Ivy was so energetic that she got into the kitchen as soon as she got home.

Xiao Yan played with little Amy. When he went shopping for groceries, he also bought a few children's picture books, sat his daughter on his lap, and told her stories.

Little Amy listened very carefully, tilting her head and thinking from time to time, and asked questions about things she didn't understand, which was a great pleasure.

From time to time, Ivy would peek outside and see the warm scene of father and daughter reading together, and she would feel an indescribable sense of happiness in her heart.
