Chapter 98: Hundred Heavens

"I don't have to work today, so how about I take you to town?" Deng Minghao said to Li Ruolan.

It is already late June and the weather has become very warm. Qingqing and Ningning are about to reach their 100th day.

Li Ruolan glanced at the two children lying on the kang and babbling, and nodded: "Let's go, it just so happens that the two children will be a hundred days old soon, let's go take a hundred-day photo for them."

Deng Minghao nodded, then carried Qingqing and Ningning to borrow Uncle Wang's horse. Uncle Wang had gone out on another horse, and there was another one at home.

Deng Minghao had also learned how to drive a horse from Uncle Wang during this period, so he told Wang Shu's family, harnessed the horses to the carriage, and took Li Ruolan and the two children on the road.

Because they often walked this road, Ma knew the way by himself and did not need Deng Minghao to give any instructions. Ma safely brought Li Ruolan and the others to the town.

After arriving at the town, Deng Minghao and his friends first sent the horses to a special horse ranch, and then took the child to take a hundred-day photo.

They took two group photos of the two children, and also took a family photo of the four of them.

After coming out of the photo studio, it was almost noon, so Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao went to a state-owned restaurant for a good meal.

Then as soon as I entered, I saw Liu Kunming, Xia Zhen and Xia Zhen's parents. The four of them were sitting together, talking and laughing.

Xia Zhen's mother kept picking up pieces of meat for Liu Kunming to eat. It seemed that the marriage between Liu Kunming and Xia Zhen had been approved by Xia Zhen's parents.

They were eating when Xia Zhen turned around and saw Li Ruolan and her family of four. Xia Zhen waved to them.

"Sister Ruolan, why are you here too? Please sit down and eat with us." Xia Zhen said immediately.

Deng Minghao smiled and nodded: "Okay, we are just hungry so we come here to eat. I will order two more dishes."

Liu Kunming stood up immediately: "I'll go, you wait here, I'll treat you to the meal."

Deng Minghao followed Liu Kunming to order food, and Li Ruolan sat down with a smile.

Xia Zhen's mother took Ning Ning in her arms, looked at Li Ruolan and said, "Zhen Zhen and the others told us.

You guys take great care of her on a daily basis, and we are really grateful to you.”

Li Ruolan smiled and glanced at Xia Zhen: "She is young and has a good temper. We just did what the old educated youth should do. We didn't take extra care of her."

"No, you were just so nice to me. You took me to the mountains, took me to pick mushrooms, and treated me to delicious food. I still remember all of that." Xia Zhen smiled happily.

Xia Zhen, who was quite mature before, has become her childish self again now that her parents are around her. It can be seen that staying with her parents really makes her feel a lot more relaxed.

Xia Zhen's father also said: "We will go back this afternoon, and we don't know when we will come next time.

We just happened to meet you, so we'll treat you to this meal as a way of thanking you for taking care of my daughter during this period of time."

"Are you leaving so soon? Why don't you stay a few more days? Don't you want to see them get married before you leave?" Li Ruolan glanced at Xia Zhen.

Xia Zhen was a little depressed, but soon she started to laugh again: "Brother Liu and I have already obtained our marriage certificate in the presence of our parents. They have seen us get married."

Xia Zhen's parents also nodded: "We have also seen him these past two days, Kunming is indeed an honest and reliable child.

We feel relieved that he is taking care of Xia Zhen. We have a lot of things to do at home, so we can't stay here forever, so we have to leave."

Li Ruolan nodded, then smiled at Xia Zhen's parents and said, "We are all educated youth who went to the countryside. It is fate that we can get together, and we have such a good relationship.

Don't worry, we educated youth are still very united. We stick together and are not afraid of being bullied.

You don't have to worry about Xia Zhen having a bad time here, we will all take care of each other."

Xia Zhen's mother said with relief: "You are all good children, I know that."

Deng Minghao and Liu Kunming ordered two dishes each, and they ate the meal together chatting and laughing.

After eating, Liu Kunming and Li Ruolan agreed to return to Victory Brigade together at three o'clock.

Li Ruolan and her friends went to the supply and marketing cooperative, while Liu Kunming and Xia Zhen went to the station together to see Xia Zhen's parents off.

When they met at three o'clock, Li Ruolan and her friends had bought a lot of things in large and small bags. Xia Zhen's parents also bought a lot of things for the wedding for the two of them, also in large and small bags.

"Fortunately, we came here in a horse-drawn carriage. If we had ridden bicycles, it would have been difficult to carry these things." Deng Minghao said with a smile.

Xia Zhen was originally in a bad mood, but now she burst into laughter.

"My mother brought me a lot of good things, including homemade dried sausages and roast duck. When we get back, brother-in-law, you can help her make them. Just think of it as Brother Liu and I treating you to a meal." Xia Zhen said.

Xia Zhen usually calls Li Ruolan and Qin Wan "sister", and when she sees Deng Minghao and Lu Yunxiao, she calls them brother-in-law. Li Ruolan and the others find it amusing, so Xia Zhen keeps calling them that.

Deng Minghao nodded: "Okay."

The four of them, plus two soundly sleeping children, returned home smiling all the way.

When they got home, the sun was setting but it was not yet dark. Xia Zhen and Liu Kunming's new house had not been built yet, so they first took their luggage to Xia Zhen's dormitory and locked it in a cabinet.

Then he called Zhou Shengnan, Zheng Fanghua, Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun to go to Li Ruolan's house for dinner.

Of course, Qin Wan and Lu Yunxiao were also called.

But when she saw Guo Xiaoya and Xu Tao outside the door, Xia Zhen was a little hesitant, not knowing whether she should call them.

Liu Kunming thought about it and decided to invite them. They had been getting along pretty well with Guo Xiaoya and Xu Tao during this period, so since they had met, he might as well invite them together.

When Guo Xiaoya and Xu Tao heard this, they both agreed. They didn't go empty-handed, so they went back to the house to get their things, and then went to Li Ruolan's house with their children.

"My parents passed away today. Before they left, they specifically told me to treat you to a meal to thank you for taking care of me during this period of time.

So even if we are just having a dinner together this time, as for the wedding dinner, I still want to do it with Sister Shengnan and Sister Fanghua."

After the meal was ready, everyone sat together. Xia Zhen was the first to stand up and express her gratitude, and then she smiled and joked with Zhou Shengnan and Zheng Fanghua.

"Okay! We agreed that the three of us will do it together." Shen Yi saw Zheng Fanghua looking embarrassed and stood up and said.

A group of people burst into laughter immediately, and Guo Xiaoya and Xu Tao also watched with smiles.

The four children were lying on the kang together, listening to the adults talking and laughing. They were also very happy, babbling and dancing.
