Rebirth: Qi Yang’s Wonderful Life - C198
Qi Xiang said, “Take a good rest, the bride will be tender and tender. You can’t be like this.”
“I know,” said Zheng Xiaoyan. “Help us carry some things after we finish eating.”
“No problem. I’ll stay with Wu Yuzheng and help you pack your things.”
Two units, a dozen or so tables were filled with noisy people. A few people from the Qi Xiang dormitory, including Wu Yuzheng and Lu Yingjie sat at the table, looking at Lu Yingjie who was sitting next to Liu He in an extremely attentive manner, Li Li said, “Wu Yuzheng, you have to learn from Lu Yingjie. See that? Liu He only has prawns that have been peeled off.”
Liu He said embarrassedly to Lu Yingjie, “Stop making fun of me. Let him make a joke out of it.”
Wu Yuzheng scooped up a bowl of seafood soup for Qi Chuan and said, “Our family likes seafood soup. If you please your girlfriend, then you have to do the best you can.”
Lu Yingjie said, “That’s right, that’s right. Fifth Brother-in-law is extremely right.” Qi Yuan was ranked fifth in the dorm.
Chen Xiangyu asked Lu Yingjie, “Little Lu, you have to speed up your pace. Liu He is such a good daughter-in-law, there are many people who think highly of her. However, our sisters have lived in the same dorm with Liu He for such a long time, so they know a little more than the average person.”
Lu Yingjie hurriedly said to Chen Xiangyu in a doggy manner, “I hope elder sister isn’t stingy in teaching me.”
Liu He tugged on Lu Yingjie’s sleeve and whispered, “Eat more and talk less.”
Lu Yingjie scratched his head and nodded his head, saying: “Oh.” He really did not speak anymore, and picked up Liu He’s favorite food and placed it in Liu He’s bowl.
Chen Xiangyu said, “Isn’t that what you don’t need to teach?” “Little Lu, what you’re doing is very good. If you continue to maintain it, you will definitely be able to get the beauty back.”
Lu Yingjie laughed embarrassedly, becoming more and more attentive. Seeing this, a few people couldn’t help but smile. Liu He’s face became even redder.
The wedding banquet proceeded very quickly. It was already nearing the end of the day at 6: 30. Everyone in the dorm stayed behind to help clean up. Looking at Zheng Xiaoyan’s thinning body, Zhou Jianming was considerate enough to let her sit in a chair to rest.
His colleagues drove a car from the company to help pull the bags. Some of the items had to be moved upstairs together with Wu Yuzheng. It wasn’t until 8: 30 that they collapsed on Zheng Xiaoyan’s sofa.
Zhou Jianming went to the kitchen to boil some water and make tea for everyone. He also found some melon seeds and candy and placed them on the tea table. Qi Zhengyuan and Wu Yuzheng sat there for a while and then said their goodbyes and left.
At night, a full moon shaped like a silver plate hung high in the sky, casting a layer of shallow silver frost where the street lamps couldn’t reach.
She would open her mouth and exhale hot air, as if she were back when she was a child watching the snow in the yard with her brother and sister on the night when the snow had stopped, and when the wind blew and the snow on the sycamore tree in the yard rustled and fell and some of it fell on her face and made a few people laugh, she would call out to the sisters in the house to come in quickly and not catch cold outside. When they returned to the warm room, her mother had already boiled five soups of cabbage, coriander, onions, radishes, ginger, and boiled ginger.
Growing up, leaving home, forming a new family with another person, the past gradually became a memory of a place that could never be destroyed.
Zheng Xiaoyan and Zhou Jianming waited until they were done cleaning up the house before tiredly sitting on the sofa, taking out the red packets they received these past few days from Zheng Xiaoyan’s bag.
Zheng Xiaoyan said, “Hubby, let’s save this money alone. We can also make an education fund for our children in the future.”
Zhou Jianming smiled and said, “I’ll listen to you. From now on, I’ll leave all our money in your care, so I’ll manage your cooking and washing your clothes.”
Zheng Xiaoyan put her head on Zhou Jianming’s shoulder and said, “It’s so good to marry you!”
“Thank you for marrying me. Actually, many people think that I, a poor kid from the countryside, can’t marry a girl from the city like you. But since you married me, I’m very grateful to you.”
Zheng Xiaoyan said, “Don’t thank me. We still have a long way to go. Oh yes, when we were getting married at your hometown, your mom said she borrowed a lot of money for us to get married. Did you ask what the money was for?”
Zhou Jianming said, “Xiaoyan, now that we’re married, how are we going to settle my hometown? Just listen to me. Whatever my mom tells you, just push it over to me.”
Zheng Xiaoyan said, “I’m the new daughter-in-law, isn’t that good?”
Zhou Jianming said, “It’s fine. We only went back once during the new year holiday. There are some things that you don’t need to care too much about.”
Zheng Xiaoyan nodded and said, “I understand. In a few days, you can ask for help from your company. It must be hard on them to go back and forth tonight.”
Zhou Jianming smiled and said, “I know, Xiaoyan, the red packets we get from getting married already cover my annual salary.”
Xiao Yan said, “We’ll have to return the money when our colleagues get married again, but we’ve already given the money from my mother’s side to the two of us. Look at the red packet in my bag, it contains the red packet my mother received.
Zhou Jianming said, “Xiaoyan, we definitely have to make our lives more prosperous. Otherwise, I’ll be really sorry for your mother’s help.”
Mother Qi had to prepare a few years’ gifts for her parents in the capital. As for her grandma, as well as her parents and a few close colleagues who were transferred to F City by her father, Mrs Qi calculated which local products she should buy and which tobacco and alcohol she should use for the new year. She wrote down some things for them in a small notebook.
It wasn’t even the 20th day of the Moon when Song Jin and Song Cheng arrived at F City.
Song Jin saw Qi Zhengyuan and looked at him a few times. He then said, “He became a married man just like that?”
Song Cheng said, “Cousin, why are you registering with Wu Yuzheng so easily? I’m still thinking about how to get some benefits from Wu Yuzheng.”
Wu Yuzheng, who was standing beside him, said: “Song Cheng, what benefits do you want? I will definitely satisfy you.”
Song Cheng said, “Forget it. You are now in the same family as my sister. Don’t you belong to my sister?”
Qi Cheng smiled and said, “Song Cheng knows how to talk. Alright, when Qi Yanzhong comes, ask her to take you guys to meet her boyfriend. If you have any ideas, you can ask him.”
Song Jin gave him a thumbs up and said, “You’re the best.”
When Qin Wei heard that Qi Zheng’s two cousins came from the capital, he specially found a good restaurant to treat everyone to a meal. When Qin Wei saw Song Jin drive the few passes on the car window, he was stunned for a moment.
“Grandmother said that when the two of you get married this year, it will be at the time of the blooming of spring flowers. At that time, she and her uncle will come to attend your wedding.”
Wu Yuzheng and Qi Chuan looked at each other and said, “It’s such a long way. Grandmother and uncle are already so old. I can just go with Wu Yuzheng to Beijing.”
Song Jin said, “Grandmother said that when your daughter gets married, your grandmother’s family will have to sit at the table. She will definitely come at that time, so just prepare for the wedding.”
These two cousins were really not easy to deal with. They had to keep their spirits up as they talked, and every kind of test they talked about could lead to them falling into the trap. Luckily, they still had to drive back to the Qi Village after dinner.
As Qi Yuan and Wu Yuzheng had registered for the wedding, everyone in the capital had prepared gifts for the couple. When they saw the handbags and casual bags in the living room, they said: “We should go and take a look and see what gifts they have prepared for Grandmother. This wedding is very different.”
Wu Yuzheng said: “Since we’re married, it means that we have to support the family. Let’s find a book to record all of this down. In the future, we’ll even have to give our relatives festivals.”
Qi Xiang nodded, thinking that this was a good idea.
After Qin Wei returned to the unit, he found a secluded place and called his father, Qin Jiqing.
Qin Jiqing was very happy to receive a call from his son. Through a side understanding, he found out that his son was doing very well at work. After saying a few words about some work matters, Qin Wei said, “Dad, Qi Yanzhi and his two cousins from Beijing are here today to give them a new year gift. They have several passes pasted on their car.”
Qin Jiqing said, “What happened to the pass?”
Qin Wei said: “A colleague from our unit in Beijing told me about those places. He said that those places are heavily guarded.”
Hearing this, Qin Jiqing thought for a moment before saying, “Little Wei, don’t tell anyone about this. You can get along with Qi Yinfeng however you want.”
After hanging up the phone, Qin Jiqing sat alone for a long time. He could not help but feel bitter when he thought about his wife, Wang Min, opposing Qin Wei and Qi Yan. She had already lived for more than half her life, why couldn’t she see him clearly? They were all things that brought about death and not brought back. Not only did he keep them in his hands, he even hurt some innocent people sometimes.
Since the wedding had not yet been held, Qi Gang could still spend the new year at his parents’ house. After the new year was over, Grandfather Qi’s most beloved granddaughter would have to spend the new year at her family’s house. Since she was young, she started to cook everything she liked to eat, including fried chicken, fried tofu, fried meatballs, and even made Qi Xiang’s favorite lotus frying box.
On the night of New Year’s Eve, Grandfather Qi called a large family over for a meal together. His second uncle’s family also rushed over for New Year’s. The two elders’ hearts blossomed with joy at seeing their family together so neatly.
After that, she often came to Granddad Qi’s place to walk around, and every time she came to the house, there would always be gifts for her. Sometimes she would buy a dress, sometimes she would buy something to eat, Mother Qi secretly told Qi Liang, You are a shrewd person, as long as you don’t look down on people you don’t look down on them, as long as you think it’s beneficial for her, you will definitely do it beautifully. Your father has already been transferred to F City, so he knows that I and your father are both filial people who take good care of the elderly.
It had to be said that Second Aunt was a person with great skills.
