Yi Ping'an went out in high spirits. Wang Kaixuan drove very steadily today and drove all the way to the dormitory of the affiliated hospital. Someone saw a green jeep from afar with a big red flower hanging on the front of the car, driving slowly towards them.

Then someone shouted, "The groom is here to pick up the bride!"

In the hospital dormitory, all the medical staff who were not at work ran out to watch the fun. Many people who had never seen Yi Ping'an were curious and wanted to see who picked the delicate flower of their hospital. Those who had seen Yi Ping'an were even more shocked. They never expected that Meng Xiaoting's man would drive to pick up the bride.

Anyway, when Yi Ping'an arrived at the entrance of the dormitory of the affiliated hospital, there were already three layers of people inside and outside, and the car could not drive in. Yi Ping'an got out of the car, and Wang Kaixuan followed closely behind.

At this time, Meng Xiaoting was surrounded by people and came out. She was wearing the clothes and leather shoes that Yi Ping'an bought for her that day. Her hair was tied up and she wore a small red flower. She looked shy, like a charming young wife.

As for blocking the door and asking for red envelopes like in later generations, it didn't exist at all. The hospital director also came. Sister Tang personally supported Meng Xiaoting and handed Meng Xiaoting's hand to Yi Ping'an, saying:

"Comrade Yi, I'm leaving Xiaoting in your care. If she gets bullied, we sisters won't tolerate it."

The hospital director also said with a smile: "Yes, Comrade Meng Xiaoting is a member of our hospital. Our hospital is her mother's home. If she is bullied, we will take her back."

"You won't have such an opportunity. I will protect her for the rest of my life." Yi Ping'an said with a smile, but his tone was firm.

After saying that, he took Meng Xiaoting's hand and got into the jeep. The young nurse at the back quickly stuffed Meng Xiaoting's package into the car and waved goodbye.

The car drove away slowly. Some in the crowd were envious, some were jealous, and some were blessing them, but the two people were unaware of all this. They were looking forward to the future.

The car arrived at the courtyard. Today they had to enter through the main gate. This was Yi Zhonghai's instruction. As soon as the car arrived, Xu Damao immediately lit firecrackers. The two strings of firecrackers were crackling.

At this time, many guests had already arrived and were all watching the fun. Yi Ping'an held Meng Xiaoting's hand and led her into the yard. There was an endless stream of people cheering and congratulating him. Yi Ping'an took them directly to the cross-yard. Meng Xiaoting's package was with Wang Kaixuan, so there was no need to worry.

At noon, Yi Ping'an and Meng Xiaoting, under the chairmanship of Deputy Minister Chen, swore an oath to Chairman Mao and sang red songs. The party ended with the second uncle shouting "Let's eat!"

Yi Zhonghai spent a lot of money on today's banquet. There are not many dishes, just four, as agreed upon by Yi Zhonghai and his father. But the portions are not small. Except for one dish of fried shredded potatoes which is a vegetarian dish, the rest are meat dishes, and the braised pork is everyone's favorite.

Yi Ping'an and Meng Xiaoting toasted at each table. The leaders were seated in the cross-yard, while the workers in the compound and the factory were in the compound's homes. It was too cold in winter to set up the banquet outside.

Yi Zhonghai also said that whoever's house the leftovers are from will own the table. When the people in the courtyard heard about this good thing, they were all eager to get the spot. As a result, because there were so many people, every household had a table, except for the deaf old lady's.

Yi Ping'an has a good alcohol tolerance, not to mention he has Wang Kaixuan as his powerful weapon. Who would dare to force him to drink without risking his life?

The most important leader today was Deputy Minister Chen, who was the matchmaker. Minister Xu and other leaders, because it was inconvenient, sent their secretaries or assistants to come, and they left after leaving their gifts.

Each large factory also sent a representative, usually the chief engineer. The factory leaders, except Li Kangri, also sent people. Li Kangri came with Deputy Minister Chen. He and Meng Xiaoting's father were also comrades-in-arms.

Leaders from the steel mill and its two subordinate machinery plants all came. Wang Guodong and his wife were the only ones from the school who came, but they brought a lot of gifts. Almost everyone who didn't come brought gifts, as they all knew that it was not the time to have a grand celebration. Even if the people didn't come, the gifts would have arrived.

After sitting at one table after another, Yi Ping'an also drank a lot of wine, but he was a big shot, so it was okay for him to drink more.

After finally finishing the banquet, Yi Zhonghai asked the people in the courtyard to help clean up the table and take the leftovers back, so they could pack them up very quickly. The New Year was coming soon, and with the leftovers, they didn't even need to buy meat.

Naturally, Yi Zhonghai was in charge of all the affairs in the courtyard, so Yi Ping'an and his wife, the newlyweds, were naturally the most relaxed. At this time, Wang Kaixuan knocked on the door, brought a cloth bag, handed it to Yi Ping'an, and said it was a wedding gift from someone.

Yi Ping'an looked at the cloth bag and opened it without hesitation. In fact, Wang Kaixuan didn't know what was in it. This was given to him by his superior, who asked him to give it to Yi Ping'an.

Meng Xiaoting and Wang Kaixuan were a little curious about the gift-giving process.

Yi Pingan opened the longest wooden box, which should be a piece of words. Yi Pingan carefully unfolded it. In addition to the double inscription, there were only four words "百年好合", but the signature was "先生".

Yi Pingan was shocked. How did this gentleman know that he was getting married today? He also sent a piece of calligraphy. Yi Pingan's hands were shaking with excitement. He carefully put the calligraphy away.

Then he looked at a square wooden box on the other side. When he opened it, he found a photo frame. Inside were photos of Yi Ping'an with the big leaders during the "Eighth Master" mission. You should know that these photos cannot be leaked at this time. They can only be seen after being decrypted.

But this time it was delivered to Yi Ping'an, and together with the photo there was a piece of calligraphy, which was four words written by an old friend, "A perfect match made in heaven". Yi Ping'an is now his soldier, and the photo was also given by him.

Yi Pingan was very excited, but after all, he had received calligraphy and paintings from a great leader and had even met him in person, so he was able to hold back his emotions. However, the other two were so excited that they were about to cry.

Wang Kaixuan's envious eyes were sharp enough to stab people. He never thought that this would be inside. To be unfilial, his father was not qualified to see this, but he saw it. As a man of military origin, the most impressive thing he had ever seen was his father's military medal. Today he was enlightened.

Meng Xiaoting couldn't help but shed tears. This was enough for her to brag about for the rest of her life, but she couldn't show off. Otherwise, she would have to let everyone know that a great man actually wrote an inscription for her wedding.

Yi Pingan packed up his things and went to the study. Wang Kaixuan went to his room. Yi Pingan looked at Meng Xiaoting's red eyes and smiled, "So excited?"

"How can I not be excited? That's..., do you think you can hold it in? Why are you so calm?" Meng Xiaoting looked at Yi Ping'an with some confusion.

"I'm excited too, but I can hold it back. Go lock the door and I'll show you something else." Yi Ping'an patted Meng Xiaoting's arm.

After Meng Xiaoting locked the door and came back, she saw Yi Ping'an taking down the board under the bookcase and taking out a box from it. All this was done for Meng Xiaoting to see. This secret compartment had been there for a long time. Yi Ping'an made it himself. It was empty before today. I'm afraid it will be used in the future.

After opening it, there were bundles of money inside, including the Big Black Ten and the Great Unity (the third set of RMB was issued in 62)

This was the reward Yi Ping'an had received before. Yi Ping'an took out 10,000 yuan. The rewards for other achievements were all in Yi Ping'an's space. There was no need to take them all out. This alone was enough to scare Meng Xiaoting.

There was a piece of calligraphy inside, which was carefully opened for Meng Xiaoting to see. Meng Xiaoting was stunned. My God, how rich is this man? There were so many bundles of money, and she also saw the calligraphy "A strong youth means a strong country".

Meng Xiaoting covered her mouth directly, for she was afraid that she would scream out. There were several photos in it, which were photos of her shaking hands with the big boss and other leaders. She could ask the photographer for one of these photos, after all, there were only two of them, but a large group photo was not allowed, as it was obvious at a glance that they were photos of a project.

Meng Xiaoting flipped through the pictures one by one. The more she looked, the more she felt that the man she married was truly amazing. How could there be such an amazing person? How could she be so lucky? Yi Ping'an felt that the look Meng Xiaoting gave him could burn him.

He coughed lightly and said to Meng Xiaoting, "This money is my reward. The source is traceable. I will give it to you later. Spend it when necessary. This is all clear. I will put these photos and calligraphy and paintings away. I am afraid they will be lost if I leave them outside.

My salary is 278 yuan. I keep 78 yuan for myself and send the rest to you every month, or have Kaixuan send it to you. As for the tickets, I have special tickets here, so I will also bring them back to you.

Don't be reluctant to spend it. Our family is really not short of money. Not to mention raising you alone, I can afford to raise ten or eight more children."

"I understand." Meng Xiaoting lowered her head and spoke softly, her voice choking. Although she was raised by the organization, she still relied on herself most of the time. As an orphan, if she didn't plan carefully, she might not be able to survive. She always told herself to be strong.

But today someone told her that she could spend the money freely and not be reluctant to spend it. Words like "I can support you" really made her want to cry. She didn't want to cry in front of Yi Ping'an as it felt a bit embarrassing.

Yi Ping'an felt something was wrong when she spoke and saw her tears falling directly to the ground. Yi Ping'an suddenly understood. She had lived alone from the age of ten to twenty. The organization could help, but after all, the staff and resources were limited. This girl must have suffered a lot.

Yi Ping'an held her gently in his arms, without saying a word, just patting her on the back. This girl who made people feel sorry for her would never do that again. As long as Yi Ping'an lived, he would protect her.
